This my entry in the
Literotica Summer Lovin' Story Contest 2024
. I had been working on this story for a while, and SUMMER LOVIN 2024 gave me the inspiration to finish it. I hope you enjoy it. Some of it is based on memories of people and places from days gone by.

Part 1: Moonlight Shenanigans
We were enjoying a couple months of part-time jobs, parties and clubbing between semesters at university. We were lucky to all be together for one last summer. Co-op work terms were coming up, and university transfers would send some of us away. We wanted to make the most of the remaining free time, and warm months.
As a group, we had started to form in junior high through the district school band. We had gathered a couple more folks in high school, and finally coalesced the summer we all graduated. Jake, Willy, Andy, Marsha, and me, Barry, livin' large!
In hindsight, I should have understood the undercurrents; the sub-text, but no one said I was the brightest boy when it came to reading the tea leaves of love. I almost missed out on a prom date, until I was saved when the girl i wanted to ask asked me! Anyway, this would turn out to be a fateful weekend, late in the summer.
This summer, Marsha and I were the two singles in the group. People might have mis-took us for a couple because we always seemed to be together. Marsha had dated one of my other peripheral friends through senior year of high school, and our freshman year at college. This left me feeling like Marsha was off-limits to me. As it was, each of us had been dating other people on and off throughout the year.
We often took the same classes at college, and regularly commuted there together. Since I had a car and Marsha didn't, we usually travelled together as our friends group moved around the area. I'd pick her up early, then drop her off as the night closed. Totally platonic. But we were spending a lot of time together, and we'd gotten into some soul-searching discussions.
I couldn't deny that Marsha was attractive. I would sneak a glance to check out her ample chest. She must have had DD cups. She could stretch a sweater thin. She had a descent ass, too, but she was never athletic, so she didn't have that round, muscular athletic look. She did know how to show it off though, and her choices of mini-skirts or tight jeans made her popular at the clubs. She usually kept her dark brown hair about mid-shoulder length, and wore it in a ponytail, braided, or loose depending on how she was feeling.
Today we had all met at our favorite summer destination. Andy's parent's had a cabin on the Bras D'Or Lakes about 45 mins outside of town. It was in a really nice spot, set back from the shore a ways, overlooking a small bay where they kept their sailboat moored. It was probably our favorite place to hang out because we could swim, or party, or just laze around.
The cabin had a spacious layout. There was a full kitchen, two and half bathrooms, and three bedrooms. The main living room had a couple of sofas that pulled out into beds, and a fully furnished basement had two more pull-out sofas. It was a made for entertaining, followed by crashing, and we loved to take advantage.
We were a responsible group, though. We always made sure someone (we referred to as "the custodian") was staying fairly sober to keep an eye on the people and the property, and we always cleaned up. Andy's Mom would often comment that our parties resulted in a cleaner house than she could manage herself.
Tonight, the fellas had decided to throw a party for some of our closest friends. We were expecting about 30-40 people. I had volunteered to be the custodian to keep track of things as the night progressed. This didn't mean I wasn't going to have any adult beverages, though. I was planning on having a couple of beer.
Because the cabin was about 25 miles outside the city, we knew there would be a pile of cars to deal with. We had had a standing rule for a long time that if you came with a car, someone sober had to drive it home. It would be my job to see people back to their cars and make sure everyone was driving off safe.
However, by 10:00 it became clear that the crowd wasn't going to grow much beyond fifteen or so guests, and the folks who came were drinking light. We were all a little disappointed. There were other things going on in town we were competing with, including a decent band playing at a hockey rink.
I had been wandering from conversation to conversation, but I was a little bored. Everyone was well behaved. To relieve the boredom, I was considering going for a night swim, but I needed a swim buddy (safety first!). None of the guests would have swim trunks. Skinny dipping wasn't out of the question, but I wasn't interested in a dick parade. So, I didn't start publicizing my idea.
I was standing on the deck overlooking the bay and considering my options when Marsha came over and leaned against me, drinking a vodka cooler. I put my arm around her.
"What's up Barry, you bored?" she asked. "You've been standing here by yourself for a while."
Pointing towards the cove with a mostly empty bottle of Molson I said, "I want to go for a swim. It's humid, and the water would be a nice relief," I said.
"It's a full moon, too, so it would be easy to see. You should go," said Marsha.
"Well, Marsha," I said in a sarcastic voice. "I'd need a swim buddy. You said earlier you brought a swimsuit. Do you want to go?" I asked, hopeful.
Marsha was non-committal.
"Umm, maybe. I was talking to that guy over there," she gestured vaguely, "Chad. He came with Andy's brother. Never met him before, and he's kind of interesting," she said, then looked back at me and winked.
"Oh, I see." I replied sarcastically. "Girl's gotta get some fresh meat!" I winked back at her.
"Don't hate the playa'" said Marsha, and she hiccuped.
"Oh, so classy," I mocked. Michelle gave a forced belch and walked away laughing.
Well that was that: no swim tonight. I walked back inside and made my way to the kitchen. There were some empty beer bottles, and take-out food containers spread around the counters. I grabbed the garbage can and dropped the food containers in them. Then I went out to the porch and found an empty beer case to put the bottles in.
I started to head outside to put everything by the trash bins when I heard noises beyond the screen door. I stopped and listened.
"Oh fuck, yeah. Oh yeah. Oh that's so good... mmmmm" some guy was moaning.
I didn't recognize the voice, but decided it wasn't the best time to put out the garbage. I didn't want to beak up someone's good time. So, I left everything inside the door and went back to get another beer.
As I got to the fridge, Marsha came into the kitchen. She had on jeans shorts over her one-piece bathing suit.
