Alice stared out over the ocean, the surf frosted in pale moonlight as it rolled in to crash with a dull thud onto the beach. The wind was strong enough to pick up the loose sand, to give the illusion of movement, fingers questing over the surface in an eternal effort to erase any hint of previous footsteps.
Alice blinked at the occasional grit in her eyes, her long fly away brown hair streaming out with the wind. She had the wool blanket wrapped tightly around her shoulders, the edge of the cloth already buried by the blowing sand which ironically helped keep the wind out.
She watched in silence at a distant blinking light, her eyes tracking the ship, her mind wandering while she dreamed of the distant ports it had called on, what destination it was even now bound for.
"Alice!"
Alice ignored the call made distant and small by the wind, just as she ignored the ache in her heart. The shout came again, the words indistinct and lost, carried away with the wind while Alice sniffed back unshed tears. The wind blew on, the sand drifting up onto the blanket inches deep with only the thudding crash and susurration of the surf to keep her company and sooth the ache.
Alice glanced north, the lights of the pier blinking like a metronome, the sudden movement that had caught her attention drawing her eye. Two people, their naked skin a pale glowing white beneath the moon ran hand in hand down the beach towards the surf.
Alice felt a surge of resentment and anger, of hatred at the couple's happiness, water spraying from their legs as they continued to run out until they were waist deep in the ocean. Alice glared as they embraced and pulled each other together, their kiss lingering and lingering. She wanted to close her eyes, wanted to turn away, but only watched, the woman's arms draped around the man's neck to pull him down, his arms around her naked waist to hold her tight while they continued to kiss, their naked bodies seeming to glow a milky white.
Minutes passed, Alice's eyes fixed, the couples hands moving and exploring until they stumbled to their knees. The surf washed past and over them, reaching as high as their heads, their kiss never pausing until a wave washed completely over them and tumbled them over.
The woman stood up laughing, the man reaching for her until she pulled playfully away and dashed up out of the surging water. The man was up in an instant, the chase leading the couple far up the beach to a blanket spread out in the soft sand that Alice hadn't noticed.
From only fifty feet away Alice could hear the laughter, murmured words and gasps of delight as the couple collapsed on to the blanket and enfolded each other in their arms. Alice's face burned when the woman rolled onto her back, the man mounting her with her legs wrapped tightly around his waist, tried to ignore the loud moan of pleasure the moment he penetrated her.
A stolen moment in the surf was one thing, but she didn't want to witness the physical proof of this unknown couples love, to watch the man's butt lifting and thrusting in a slow, deliberate rhythm, to hear the woman crying out with every thrust, but still she couldn't turn away.
Alice choked back a sob, the tears that had threatened to come all night finally flowing down her cheeks, her eyes never leaving the beauty of the couple making love so close and yet so far away.
"Harder! Oh, god, harder!" Alice could hear the woman crying out, the man's butt lifting and falling faster and faster.
Alice couldn't tear her eyes away from the couple, their mouths and bodies both locked together in an intimate kiss. The night was filled with moans of pleasure and the wet slaps of sex, Alice's hand slipping down between her thighs to cup and squeeze herself through the thin fabric of her bathing suite bikini bottoms.
She had to bite her lip and stifle a moan of her own, her tears still flowing while she watched and listened, her hand squeezing and relaxing... squeezing and relaxing.
When the moment came the man grunted explosively, his back stiffening as he pressed himself inside of his lover, to woman arching her back and pressing her hips up to meet him as his seed spilled into her. The man grunted again, his ass lifting and thrusting a few more times until he collapsed onto his lover, his weight and his length pinning her with her arms still wrapped around him, her hands running up and down his back.
Alice could hear the soft words the lovers spoke to each other without understanding what was said, eavesdropping seeming somehow a bigger violation than having just watched them make love. She used the edge of the blanket to dry her cheeks and then stood, sand cascading off the blanket while she wrapped it around her body.
"Oh!" the woman gasped, her lover rolling off of her to the side.
"What the fuck?" the man demanded.
"I'm... sorry," Alice tried to apologize, "I was already sitting here when you came down to the beach and..."
The man and woman didn't say anything and Alice turned away, her face red in embarrassment.
"Wait..." the woman called out.
Alice turned back uncertainly, the woman leaning on one arm as she sat up, her large breasts hanging to the side now visible in the moon light from so close.
"Would you like to join us?" the woman asked.
Alice stood and stared, dumbfounded by the simple question.
"You can join us if you like," the woman repeated.
Alice glanced at the man who was also leaning up on his side, her eyes drawn down to his flaccid length dangling down against his thigh. She glanced behind her and towards the dunes that backed the beach, remembered the distant call from earlier before returning her gaze upon the unknown couple.
"I'd like you to join us," the woman said huskily and licked her lips, "If you want."
Alice hesitated and then took a step forward, the cool, soft sand slipping between her bare toes a distraction to the terror she felt while her heart hammered in her chest. She took another step, and then a third while the couple watched her.
"I've never..." Alice confessed from only a few feet away.
"I'll show you," the woman purred and patted the blanket between herself and the man.
Alice stepped onto the blanket the couple shared and sank down while allowing her own blanket wrapped around her shoulders to open, the man and woman seizing and guiding Alces's so that they were all soon ensconced beneath it.
"Have you been there the entire time?" the woman asked in a soft, friendly soprano.
"Since sunset," Alice replied and then gasped at the feel of fingers touching and caressing her burning hot skin.
"Soooo... you saw..." the man asked in a slightly confused voice.
"Everything," Alice replied and bit her lip as fingers tugged at the strings of her bikini top before the knot released.
The woman reached out to cup Alice's cheek and then pull her forward, Alice surprised and shocked and excited that it was the woman who was taking the lead. From this close Alice could tell the woman had reddish blond hair with the tips a bleached pale blond, her eyes tilted with a slight epicanthic fold, a wide nose and sensual, full lips.
When their lips met Alice closed her eyes and savored how much softer and sensual her first kiss with a woman was, never hesitated to part her lips and accept the woman's tongue nor keep from offering her own. She felt hands caressing her body, so many hands touching and stroking her. Alice's mind reeled while she tried to guess if the fingers pinching and rolling her nipples were the mans, if the fingertips stroking her neck were the woman's, knowing that the hard, callused hand caressing and massaging her inner thigh as it moved high and higher up her leg was the man... and still her kiss with the woman continued.
The ache was forgotten, burned away in the heat of that kiss, hands slipping up beneath Alice's bathing suite top to cup her breasts, fingers tugging at the strings of her bikini bottoms.
"Ohh, please!" Alice gasped when she finally was able to break away.
"Are... are you Ok?" the woman asked, "Do you want us to stop?"
"Oh god, don't stop!" Alice moaned, tears wetting her cheeks, "I want this!
"I need this!
"Please!"
The woman cupped the back of Alice's head and pulled her into another kiss, Alice lifting up her hips to allow her bikini bottoms to be whisked away. She felt the man's semi flaccid cock between her butt cheeks and pressed back and then broke away from her kiss to glance towards him.
"You can't... don't cum inside of me... I'm not on the pill," Alice begged.
"I promise I won't," the man replied as he pressed the length of his naked body against Alice's back.
"Have you ever been with a woman?" the woman asked and then used her fingers to guide Alice's chin back for yet another long, slow, soft kiss.
Alice managed to barely shake her head no, the heat between her legs making her inner thighs damp and slippery.
"Do you want to?" the woman whispered with a hungry smile.
Again Alice only managed to give a slight nod, this time in ascent.
"Move back, Eddie," the woman admonished, Eddie moving slightly to give the woman room to gently push and guide Alice back.
