"Zee, will you put sunblock on me?"
"Again?" Zoya glanced at Emma, lying on her front in the sun. "I did your back before we left the hotel room."
"It's my Irish heritage. I have to keep reapplying, or I burn."
Zoya grabbed the bottle of sunblock from Emma's bag, and straddled her legs. The redhead squealed when she squirted a glob between her shoulder blades, then relaxed as she started to massage it in.
They'd been at the beach for a few hours, reading and relaxing while the boys surfed. Well, Zoya had been reading. Emma was mostly watching Nolan. Even now, she was still squinting against the glare of the sun on the waves, trying to catch a glimpse.
"It's pretty empty out here, even for a weekday. I guess your dad was right about that convention or whatever."
"Uh-huh," Emma agreed.
"Plus, this spot the boys found for surfing is a bit off the beaten path. Kinda isolated."
"Yeah."
"You're not really listening, are you?"
"Right, right."
"You're too busy thinking about kissing
Nolan
."
"What?" Emma glanced back, then realized what she said, and blushed.
"Girl, you've got it bad for him," Zoya chuckled.
"Is it obvious?"
"To me, yes. To Nolan, probably not. I get the impression he's used to girls looking at him the way you do."
"Oh, good," Emma murmured, sounding like this was, in fact, terrible news.
"Why are you so flustered?" Zoya laughed. "You're beautiful. I'm sure you've pulled a lad you had a crush on before." She finished rubbing the cream into Emma's shoulders and gave her bottom a playful swat before settling back onto her towel.
"I... um." Emma rolled onto her side and looked at Zoya with quiet intensity. "Can I tell you a secret?"
"Of course," she grinned, matching Emma's posture.
"Last night I saw Nolan jerking off."
"What, did he leave the bathroom door cracked open or something?"
"No, he was in bed. I heard a weird sound and when I rolled over, he was touching himself!"
"Why wouldn't he go to the bathroom?"
"Maybe he was worried it would wake someone up? Like, it would be less noticeable to stay there? So he waited until he thought everyone was asleep and started stroking!"
"Well, that explains why you've been so distracted." Zoya grinned. "What'd you do?"
"I didn't do anything, I just stayed quiet and watched."
"Hmm." Zoya frowned, a bit disappointed. "Did he cum?"
"Yeah, he came all over his chest. And, um... I think after he finished, he might have seen I was watching."
"Ooh! How'd he react?"
"He didn't! I shut my eyes real quick. Maybe he didn't notice? When he went to the bathroom to clean up, I turned away."
Just then the boys came running up, hastily dropping their surfboards and putting on flip-flops.
"We're going to get some cokes," Liam said breathlessly.
"D'you two want anything?" Nolan asked.
"Sure, bring us a couple of waters," Zoya replied, since Emma was busy trying not to look at Nolan.
They managed to wait until the boys were out of earshot before they started laughing.
"So what now?" Zoya asked. "Are you gonna take a run at him?"
"I'd like to, but I dunno how I'll get him alone. He and Liam have been glued together."
"I wouldn't mind being glued to Liam."
"Whaaat? Little Liam, who used to follow us around? You're joking."
"You're only saying that because he's always standing next to your tall surfer. I'm telling you, Liam's proper fit now."
"Oh my god!" Emma grinned and shook her head. "What would you do if you saw Liam jerking off?"
"Well, I wouldn't just watch, I can tell you that," Zoya teased. "I'd get right in there and give him a hand."
Emma laughed and rolled onto her back, trying to adjust her bikini to keep herself covered but still get some sun on her chest.
"Oh, just take it off," Zoya said, rolling her eyes. "You Americans and your body issues."
"What? No, I couldn't," Emma scoffed.
"No one's here to see."
"The boys are coming back!"
"Good! Give Nolan an eyeful, that'll get his attention."
"But Liam would see too!"
"So what? They're just tits."
"Take yours off if you're so comfortable."
"I will." She untied her top, threw it in the bag, and raised a challenging eyebrow at Emma. Her friend frowned, comparing their chests.
"You have incredible tits, and I'm flat as a board. Nolan won't even notice me."
"Em, don't put yourself down like that. You're lovely, and Nolan will notice."
"You really think so?"
"Trust me."
Emma hesitated, then removed her top. Her shoulders were covered in freckles, and the pale skin of her small breasts faded to a light rose color on her nipples.
"There you are. Now put on these sunglasses so you don't have to make eye contact. I'll tell you when they're coming."
Zoya felt pleased with herself as she lay down. The sun felt good on her bare skin, and Emma just needed a little push to get past her insecurities.
Before long, she heard the boys approaching, and gave Emma a nudge. She could tell the moment they realized the girls were topless because their conversation suddenly stopped. Zoya snuck a quick peek. They were standing a short distance away, whispering to each other. Emma was already blushing, but made no move to cover herself.
"Here are your waters, ladies," Nolan announced as they finally worked up the courage to approach. Zoya sat up and took the bottles from him. Nolan grinned easily, playing it cool, and making at point of meeting her eyes. Liam was clearly struggling not to gawk.
"Thank you, boys," Zoya purred, cracking one open and taking a drink. Peeking under her half-closed lids, she was pleased to see that Liam was sneaking a look at her chest, but Nolan was glancing at Emma's.
They dawdled as long as they could while taking their flip-flops off and retrieving their surfboards, but eventually, they ran off to surf.
"You're welcome," Zoya quipped.
"Fuck me!" Emma laughed as she sat up and cupped her breasts. "My nipples are so hard right now. Did he look?"
"Girl, of course he looked. I told you he would."
"What do I do now?"
"You wait for your moment."
