As Matt shared lifesaving duties with Lucy on Mona Vale Beach that Saturday, he viewed her with different eyes.
Through lifesaving, he'd known her as a friend for years, but the effect of her presence had never been like it was now. Even if he had sensed there was a very attractive woman hidden under -- to nominate the briefest outfit he'd seen her in during those duties -- the lifesaver's women's one piece she'd strip down to for going into the water, her body had never been -- for want of a better expression, sexualised to him.
The one piece might have offered a reasonable impression of her figure, but with only a moderate rise of the legs and a neckline high enough to offer only the slightest hint of cleavage and then only on a large busted woman, it certainly wasn't designed to flaunt it.
Besides which, having decided she was asexual, there had been little point in fantasying about what might be.
Now everything had changed.
He spent most of the day with his cock somewhere between that 'full' feeling which precedes an erection and a half mongrel. It was only the board shorts hiding enough of the bulge that let him get away with it.
Everything seemed to trigger him. The sight of the bottom of her swimmers drawn into her butt crack as she paddled the rescue board, the shadow of her nipples firming under her wet swimmer top and the wet bodice of her swimmers plastered to her flat stomach were enough to get him started. He nearly lost it when, as he helped her with a board rescue with a view up between her legs as she lay on it with her legs out to the side, he had the sight of her mons flattened against the board, and a camel toe of material drawn up into her crease.
He did lose it into a full boner as, in a quiet moment, he momentarily day- dreamed about fingering her to a climax in the pool the previous evening as she'd held her body tightly against him and pashed him crazily.
Lucy had caught him at that one. She'd noticed the glazed look in his eyes as they'd been transfixed on her body and glimpsed down to see the projection in his board shorts which even his knees up sitting position on the sand couldn't hide. The grin that broadened across her face had brought him back to reality, but it took another five minutes for his erection to go down.
He dared not even think about the fucking he'd given her afterwards, least the consequences were even less suitable for public display.
The thing was, matters had got well ahead of her intended sex education schedule. Tonight, after their date, was meant to be the one where she lost her virginity to him; she riding him cowgirl style to give her full control.
But last night Kylie had got all of them pissed as she kept filling up their glasses with wine and, with her usual inhibitions supressed, Lucy had discovered the real meaning of intimacy and passion and of getting herself right, royally, fucked.
But that date was still on, as was the sex that would follow it. And the knowledge of that only sensitised Matt to Lucy's body even more.
Of course, it was not all one way. It was just Lucy's moments -- and there were many of them -- of arousal were less obvious. The previous evening Lucy had discovered sex at its best and most intense, and she'd liked it. It was easy and unthreatening to linger on her memory of that experience as she in turn let her gaze loiter on Matt's incredible body.
She was unperturbed as her thoughts caused her vulva to swell and open and her vagina to be open and receptive -- even yearning to be filled by Matt. She might have vaguely realised that a knowledgeable viewer could interpret the open valleyed crease through the crotch of her swimwear and she was not unaware of the damp stain that produced.
But between being wet doing rescues and a timely use of her own board shorts, these bits of evidence were far less black and white than the bulge in Matt's board shorts and she noticed he'd been unwilling to strip down to speedos, even when doing rescues.
Her hard nipples were less easily disguised. But hard nipples have more than one cause and, again, there was enough happening that day to leave room for ambiguity.
But for Lucy, the expression 'unthreatening' was an important one. Last night had happened because she was drunk. Not too drunk not to know what she was doing, but drunk enough to reduce and overwhelm the inhibitions that had caused her to be a virgin at age 30. Not inhibitions about sex so much as inhibitions about the physical contact sex necessarily involved. It bemused her as much as disturbed her that she found being penetrated not the slightest bit disconcerting -- even when she was nearly cold stone sober -- but the flesh on flesh contact of the external parts of her body with Matt as he did so stirred up all sorts of alarming emotions.
Matt and Lucy had talked about it all on the way down to the beach that morning. Both had recognised Lucy couldn't write herself off with drink every time she wanted good sex. There had to be another way. That really is what her sex education was all about. Finding out whether, through some sort of aversion therapy, her sexual relations couldn't be normalised.
Matt had asked how the reactions to physical contact manifested herself. Lucy had no easy answer. They weren't able to be put in a single box. Part anxiety, part fear, even part revulsion; but at times they could overwhelm her and because of that she avoided physical contact with others as much as she could. She always chose spaces that 'gave her room' to avoid having others invade her safe space. Individual chairs rather than bench seats, ground space that left her room to back away from someone too close; she had a lifetime of little actions that protected that space.
It was a reaction she had to work hard to close down if she didn't have the benefit of some help from alcohol. She'd sort of gritted her teeth and dealt with it during the early stages of Matt's sex education of her as he'd progressively fingered her more intimately. It had been magnified greatly by the need to also deal with her aversion to be seen naked by anyone; including up to that time the sister she lived with.
The much more than two thirds of a bottle of red wine she had last night -- Kylie had made sure Lucy got the biggest share - had all but demolished her aversion. The less than half bottle she'd had the night she'd first ridden Matt -- merely using his erection as a dildo as she'd sat on him cowgirl style -- had helped but not been enough to suppress it.
But as they talked, she expressed a desire to try and deal with it coldly, rather than artificially suppress it. The date beforehand was specifically intended to offer Lucy a chance to get a little bit drunk but Lucy suggested they go the local fish restrauent and have a lower alcohol white wine, to cut down a little bit more the help she got from it.
As the day progressed Matt felt he became more sensitive to Lucy's presence; perhaps nothing more than his body's anticipation of the evening's likely conclusion.
When they both got home late afternoon, they found Kylie out by the pool in one of her tiny bikinis, some afternoon refreshments already set out for them on the coffee table. She met them at the back door, kissing Matt on the cheek...
"You guys must have had a long hot day. I've got some cold drinks and a few bits of anti-pasta ready for you. Strip off and join me."
Matt watched Kylie watch him as he took off his sun top and rested it on a chair just inside the door...
"Lose the board shorts too. You must get sick of wearing them and having them cook your balls."
Matt grinned internally. Yes, he did occasionally find the board shorts -- especially when wet -- chaffed his thighs. And yes, on a hot day, two layers of nylon garments could get a bit warm. But he'd never really thought of wearing board shorts that much of a burden. He was well aware Kylie wanted them off for her own viewing pleasure. Still, he wasn't inclined to deny her. The only problem was, already sensitised, Matt's cock had reacted both to the momentary intimacy of her kiss and to her obvious carnal interest in him.
It was a half mongrel that was exposed as stretching out his speedos as he pulled down the waistband of his boardies. Kylie couldn't help herself...
"I appreciate you being so glad to see me."
"Always am Kylie. Always am."
Kylie led the way to the two Ottomans which straddled the coffee table, sitting down at the one furthest from the door that she and Matt usually shared, moving over to allow Matt a half share of it, leaving each of them with a bum cheek hanging over the side.
Lucy, stripped down to her lifesaver one piece, took the other seat.
Matt wasn't surprised when Kylie put her hand high on his thigh and used the back of her fingers to stroke his half-erection and turn it into a full one as she casually ate with her other hand and asked about the day. She always did that when they sat like this.
