At the end of a long evening, we were walking back along the beach. We'd been with friends, eating, laughing, hanging out. All the usual clichΓ©s apply: sandals off, walking in the wet sand where it's a bit firmer and easier, warm breeze but cool water around our ankles. We're holding hands, just, fingertips, and talking, but we're not really talking about anything, this is just fore-foreplay.
While we were in the restaurant, everybody was laughing and talking, and I looked across at her, admiring her for a few seconds, and then she turned and made eye contact. Not just eye contact, but a connection. There's a look, and then there's
that
look. No more than a second or two, but there's that thing we have, when you know: not so much I want you as we want - need - each other. From that moment on, I'm just playing along, half in the conversation, but all I can really feel is the blood in my body, the air on my skin, and S out of the corner of my eye. We keep glancing at each other. No mistake, this is a shared excitement.
We finally bail out, along the beach and up the side track, back to the apartment we're renting. Fingers hooked, bumping into each other casually but not, it's with intention; each nudge, passing caress, eye contact, sends me a little bit crazier every time as we get closer. I'm relishing the wait, but at the same, I can't wait. Our arms are then around each others' waists, me pulling her close, her pulling me back, the brush of her hair against me, her smell, smile, the sense of her. This is already intense.
When we get in and close the door, we stand, looking at each other, palms open and touching, just looking. I'm falling into her eyes as she smiles, but only slightly - she's serious about this. We hold it as long as we can, which isn't long, but enough to prolong the tension, the feeling of being on the edge. I feel like my head's going to explode and we haven't even started. My skin's tingling, I don't know whether to laugh or cry with the sheer want of this. I can't really think.
She finally reaches in to kiss me. Our fingers entwine, bodies press closer, her lips feel amazing, her wet tongue, the smell of sunshine, of shampoo in her hair. She tastes divine, I just want to be pressed against, inside, as close as we can possibly be. Now we're over the edge, everything else is a foregone conclusion, it's just a question of how we get there, and how long it all takes.
I slip both hands under her top, stroking her stomach, feeling her softness, then circle her waist, discerning the tiny hairs on her back as I trace a line up her spine. Our faces are close together, we're nose to nose, sharing breath as she holds the front of my shorts, just to keep me close, as I run my fingertips across the skin of her back to hold her there, before kissing her ears, smelling her neck, kissing and biting her there. She's already getting turned on, I can smell it on her, a hint of sex already. I'm rock solid, I was half way there on walk across the beach, there's no question about me not being ready to go.
We kiss and kiss and kiss, pressed close. She's holding my head, I've got one hand on her thigh, the other under her arm. I reach inside the hem of her dress with both hands, touching as gently as I can - she loves that - and trace lines across the front of both of her thighs, my fingernails tracing tiny lines in her skin that disappear almost immediately. I'm getting closer, close to the front of her bikini bottoms under her skirt, touching almost accidentally, once, then coming back twice, and again. I feel against the edge, then just past the fabric, running my fingers up and down just inside. Then I pull them down, push up her skirt, kneel, lean forwards, and kiss her once, firmly, holding it, on her pussy lips.
