Sophia sat and stared out at the moonlight shimmering on the lake. This was the last night of her spring break, and she'd hope it would be something wonderful. Donovan had brought her here along with his friends. She'd hoped that this meant he wanted them all to spend time together, which would lead to acceptance of their relationship. However, she'd been quickly shunted to the side as they played Xbox and drinking games.
She knew that this was everyone's time to unwind, but she had thought that they would unwind together on a trip as a couple. She had been able to get some rest, and she'd caught up on her readings. Overall, it wasn't a terrible trip, but it wasn't the trip she'd wanted. Sophia gazed out on the lake and wished again that she'd gone to Curacao with her parents. She'd be tanned and relaxed.
The water was tempting, but she was by herself on the beach, and she knew the dangers of going into the water at night without another person around. Still the water looked enticing, and she needed something to take her mind off the issues with Donovan.
Since there was no one around, Sophia just slipped out of her top and shorts, leaving her with just underwear on. She padded out to the edge of the shore and dipped her toes into the water. It was bracing, but not too cold for her. She walked in up to her calves and looked around. The peace was what she needed.
She moved out into the water, deep enough so that she could raise her legs and paddle. She was careful not to go too far. She wasn't sure that anyone would notice her disappearance until the last game was over.
She took some strong strokes toward the shore, making sure that she could see the beach at all times. Looking up, she was taken by surprise when a young man, probably her age started walking down the beach. He wasn't anyone she knew. It definitely wasn't one of Donovan's friends.
He had dark hair that melted into the night and long legs that strode quickly across the sand. He was thin, but his arms were well-muscled. Sophia thought that he was talking to himself. His mouth seemed to be moving yet she couldn't see anyone else on the beach. It may have been the dark or the distance, but he appeared to be alone.
Without warning, the man tripped and fell flat on his face. Sophia tried not to laugh, but she doubled her pace and made it to shore to help. She realized that she was clothed only in her wet underwear, but the man had not yet moved. She ran up on the beach in time for him to turn and look at her.
"So I had witnesses to my gracefulness," he asked.
Sophia bit her lip as not to laugh and nodded. "Are you okay?" She extended a hand, but he ignored that and managed to stand up.
He was about five inches taller than Sophia. She put him about 6'2" and his physique was even better up close. He was standing close to her, and she could feel his eyes check her out from head to toe, with frequent stops at the wet underclothing.
"I'm Ben," he said, finally extending a hand. Sophia took it in hers and shook. His grip was firm and warm. She realized how cold the weather was out here as she felt his warmth.
"Sophia."
"So what are you doing out here besides watching me look like an idiot? Didn't your mother tell you about swimming alone?"
She smiled at him, since she'd been thinking the same thing. "Yeah, she did, but I was careful. I looked for great whites and kept close to shore."
He raised an eyebrow at her. "Smart, pretty and funny. Just my luck to meet you on the last night of my trip - or should I say vacation?"
Sophia groaned, which she felt was the reaction he wanted. He gave her a big grin, which brought dimples to his cheeks. His smile was infectious, and despite her fight with Donovan, Sophia found herself smiling back at him.
Ben must have taken this for a sign of affection. He leaned in for a kiss. Sophia thought about pulling away, but instead she waited for the brush of his lips against her. The kiss was gentle and sweet, like he was. His arms were still at his sides, being a gentleman. Sophia leaned in and pressed her lips more tightly against his. He seemed to gasp in surprise, but while his mouth was still open, he took the opportunity to brush his tongue against her lips. She parted them and let him enter her.
She was surprised at his reaction. Sophia had not come down to the beach to find someone else. She'd come to be alone and think. Sophia doubted that much thinking was going to go on now. The brush of his tongue against hers sent a chill down her spine that reminded her she was desired.
Now he slid his arms around her. The warmth of his body let her forget that she was standing in her wet underwear. He didn't' seem to mind that he was getting wet either. Their kiss continued as he stroke her tongue with his and gently wrestled it.
He broke away from her and leaned back to see her better. "Are you okay with this? I mean, it's sudden."
She smiled at him. "More than okay." She leaned in towards him again and pressed her lips against his. His arm tightened around her, and she could feel the excitement between his legs.
They began to kiss again, now with greater passion on Ben's part, apparently since Sophia approved. His hands now ran up and down her back which was still damp from the water. He was still dressed, and Sophia could feel where his shirt was sticking to him because of her own dampness.
She slid her fingers under the hem of his shirt, and brushed the skin on his stomach. He had a light dusting of hair around his navel, and Sophia was now curious to see where it led. Ben moaned into her mouth when she pushed two fingers under his waistband. She like the way that he responded so easily to her touch.
The fingers came out from under his shirt. Catching the hem of the shirt, she lifted it up and Ben helped her take it all the way off. In the moonlight, she could see the rounded pecs and the flat stomach. She would definitely have noticed him if he'd been at the lake at the same time as her. His arms were thick through the biceps but not overly worked. Her hands slid up to his shoulders and rubbed them. He still seemed a bit tense.
She broke off the kiss, and her mouth traveled down his neck, taking little bite marks along the way. Sophia knew that she would leave an impression on him that would last a few days at least.
She moved her mouth to his pec and lapped at the nipple. It responded quickly, tightening and getting hard. His head fell back as he enjoyed her movements. He let out another moan, and this time Sophia had to quiet him. "You don't want anyone to find us," she said, stopping what she was doing for a minute.
He laughed and looked at her hopefully as if encouraging her to continue. She did. Her tongue trailed along his pec and over to the other nipple. She licked at it and teased it with her mouth. She shifted so that her abs were pressed against his erection. She didn't touch it, but she pushed against it hard enough for him to bite his lip.
Ben beckoned her to stand up again. They kissed again. The moment was different. The chaste kiss was gone, and Ben kissed her now, hot and wet and full of desire. She could feel her own desire rise up inside of her. Now Ben's hands ran over her body, caressing her hips and back and coming to rest on the back of her bra.
She decided to help things along. "On the front," she said, popping it open in a single gesture. Her breasts met the night air, which made her nipples start to stand at attention. It was a new sensation for her. She wasn't the type to go topless in public.
