Ariel and Byron had been sweethearts all through high school. They did most everything together like school events, dates, going to and from school, and even some sports like tennis. Everything except sex. They did some things like kissing and holding each other, but that was as far as it went. The truth was they were both afraid to go further. As unreasonable as this sounds they were both afraid of sex for different reasons. Ariel was afraid of getting rejected as well as being unsure that Byron was the man she was going to marry. Byron was afraid of pushing Ariel too far and wanted to know other girls before he settled down. It all made for a pretty strange situation since they had been exclusive to each other all through high school.
Ariel was a beautiful girl. She had dark red hair that had a slight natural curl to it and she wore it long, half way down her back. She had a small sprinkle of freckles across her nose and under her eyes, but these were the only ones on her body. She had hazel eyes that always seemed to have a twinkle in them and a small pug nose above her mouth. She had a slim and curvy body that was pale in color, nice hips, and great legs. And her breasts were somewhat large for her frame but not so large that they drooped. But her crowning glory was her smile. She seemed to smile all the time and it brightened her whole being. It was the first thing you noticed about her.
Byron was tall and handsome. He had sandy colored hair, brown eyes, and a nice smile that appeared every time he saw Ariel. He was fit but he did not play organized sports, he lifted weights and ran instead. He was really intelligent but kept that mostly to himself. He was the youngest of three kids with a much older sister and brother who had both already graduated from college. He had met Ariel in the ninth grade but he did not start dating her until their junior year in high school.
There were a few times in high school where they came close to having sex. One of these was prom night and it was probably the closest they came to being intimate with each other. Byron and Ariel had left the prom and went to one of their private sites to be with each other. During that time they both got really worked up, that is to say, really horny for each other. Ariel had unbuttoned his shirt and was feeling his chest while Byron was trying to unzip her dress.
That is when Ariel called a halt to their activities.
"That's enough, Byron. No more." she said.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
He zipped her dress back up and then buttoned his shirt.
"I'm sorry, I just can't go any further."
"I understand." He kissed her and she fell into his arms again.
"Thank you. I want to go further with you, I just can't."
"It's okay, Ariel. I still want to be with you."
They stayed in each others arms for a little while longer then he took her home. Ariel felt really bad because she had been on the pill for over two years because of her irregular period.
Graduation night was almost a rerun of prom night. They got just so far with each other and then stopped again. It was becoming a real problem for both of them. They were like any other teenagers, highly sexed all the time. Their hormones were running rampant and it caused both of them to masturbate at night a lot, some weeks every night. The sexual reservoir behind their dam of reasons for not having sex was more than full and could burst at any time. It all came to a head when they were invited to a party on Friday the fourth of July.
They both had been invited along with a number of their friends. It was to be held at Randy Sparks house starting at four o'clock. Randy's parents were pretty well off and had a pool in the back yard. Their house was pretty large with four bedrooms, a large living and den area, three bathrooms, and large kitchen and dinning rooms. It looked to be a pretty large party with maybe twenty or thirty people invited.
Byron picked up Ariel at her house and they drove to the party. It was a beautiful day and surprisingly not too hot. Both of them were wearing their swimwear under their clothes and carried a bag for their towels and suntan lotion. They were both ready for some fun as they had not seen their school friends in a while.
"I am so looking forward to the party tonight." said Ariel.
"Me too. I haven't seen most of these guys since graduation."
"Me either. It will be good to catch up with them again."
"Are you wearing your bathing suit?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." she teased.
He laughed at her statement.
She was wearing some shorts and a t-shirt with a cat on the front. He was wearing some long shorts and a t-shirt with a wild wolf on the front.
Ariel moved closer to him as they drove. If nothing else, she loved being close to him. He put an arm around her as he drove. It was not a long drive to Randy's house and they were there soon enough. There were already a number of cars parked on the street in front of the house so they picked the next available spot and parked the car.
Before they left the car Ariel pulled him close and kissed him for a minute.
"There, that should hold you for a while." she said.
He smiled at her and then they both got out and walked up to the house. Randy answered the front door.
"Hey Ariel, Byron. Come on in."
They went in and there were already some people in the house as well as in the pool in back.
"Make yourself at home. The pool is through there, there is a bathroom over there to change in if you need to, and drinks are in the kitchen. Make yourself at home."
They tossed their bags by a chair in the living room and went into the kitchen for something to drink. In there they met their friends Jeff and Penny.
"Hey guys!" Ariel said. They all gathered together, the girls hugging each other and they guys shaking hands.
"How have you two been?" asked Penny.
"Really good. Looking forward to college." Ariel said.
"I know. Unfortunately Jeff is going to a different school than me, so we are trying to make the most of our time together this summer." Penny said.
"That's got to be a bummer." Byron said.
"Yeah, it is. But I guess that's life." Jeff said. "But I heard you two are going to the same place."
"We are. But we are still trying to figure out our housing options." Ariel said.
"You're not staying together?" Penny asked.
"We don't know yet. We kind of want to but we haven't decided yet."
"Still virgins, huh?" Penny asked.
Ariel blushed. "Yes."
"You two should just get over it and get together. It's not like it's a big deal. And it's fun." Penny said.
"Don't listen to her." Jeff said. "When you're ready, you're ready."
Penny punched Jeff on his arm, not too hard.
"You just say that because you're getting some."
"No I'm not. They'll do it when they are ready. That's the way it's supposed to work, anyway."
Both Ariel and Byron were visibly embarrassed.
"So what is there to drink around here?" Byron asked.
"There are plenty of sodas in the fridge along with juices of every description. This is a no alcohol party since none of us are legal yet." Jeff said.
"We're headed to the pool. Do you want to join us?" asked Ariel.
"No, we're in charge of the kitchen so you go ahead. We'll see you later." Penny said.
Byron and Ariel went to get their bags to change. He let her change in the bathroom first and then he followed. They stored their bags and took their towels and suntan lotion outside after getting some cokes from the fridge. Ariel was wearing a nice conservative green bikini that was absolutely beautiful on her. It was one of the few times that Byron had seen her display that much skin. He noticed right away that she was not as pale as he thought so she must have been spending some time building up a tan.
It looked as if most of the party was in or just out of the pool. They found a place to lay out their towels. They sat on them applying suntan lotion. They both rubbed the lotion on each others back, which Byron thought was highly erotic.
