It was the summer before I started freshman year of college. My 19th birthday was tomorrow and I was spending a week it in upstate New York at my grandparents beach house for the celebration. It was the third week of August, the nights were becoming a little cooler and the sunsets a little earlier.
I had decided to take a walk after dinner down to the beach to watch the sunset. I wanted to be alone and enjoy the time I had left of my summer. I was 18, almost 19 and liked the time I had to myself.
When I reached the beach, there weren't too many people around, it was quiet and peaceful. When I reached the sand, I took off my flip flops, let my feet sink into the warm sand and began walking down the beach away from the small crowd of people.
The sun was setting slowly, the reflection dipping low over the waters surface, the orange and pink of the sun painting the sky. The smell of the salt in the water lingering under my nose and the chill of the summer nights air sending goosebumps over my exposed skin.
The sun was gone and the stars were appearing in the sky. Lost in my own thoughts, I didn't realize what was happening until my senses snapped my back to reality. He had me pinned against the tree, his lips on mine and his hands binding mine together, I wasn't able to push him away, though every time we were together, pushing him away was the last thing that ever came to mind.
I pulled away from his lips, catching my breath, my flip flops now at my feet, my hands still bounded.
"How do you do that?" Knowing he knew exactly what I meant.
"I know when to catch you off guard and I choose my moment perfectly." I just smiled, knowing what he had in mind and loving it.
Trying to free my hands, I kissed him, our lips locked and tongues tangled, I released him and slowly moved along his jawline, down the side of his neck, hearing his stifled moan, I felt his hands loosen around my wrist as I sucked in his warm skin into my wet, hot mouth and sprawled my hands under his shirt and over his flat, smooth stomach.
At this moment, it was completely dark, the stars were shining and the beach was deserted. I took his hand and lead down toward the water, sat down in the sand and sank in, waiting for him to join.
