Leena smiled. It was a wide, open mouthed, delighted, self satisfied smile that displayed the whiteness of her perfect teeth, and that reminded me of the moment when she had completed her first length of our villa swimming pool, an entire twelve metres, ecstatic that at the age of thirty she had finally learned to stay afloat. I felt proud that day as well, that I had managed to teach her, in just two afternoons.
But that was then, and this was now, and we were not at the villa that we had rented for two weeks of hot, French, July sun. We were at the beach, and we were in the sand dunes, not the sea. Leena had not been swimming in the water, but she had most definitely been swimming against the tide of several thousand years of Indian norms and expectations, and of what is forbidden and taboo to a well brought up Sikh woman who was not just a respectable suburban wife, but a practicing medic, having followed her proud parents into the only profession that they would give their blessing to.
Yet Leena was smiling, exhilarated, even though her face and hair and breasts were spattered, globules on her forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, neck, shoulders, and yet more on the slopes of her generously full breasts with their dark, saucer-like areolas and pencil-rubber nipple stubs. Her smile was so wide that one globule, that had hit her upper lip and started to slide onto her chin, was stretched into a fine, glistening spittle-like teardrop that threatened to break and cling instead to her gleaming teeth.
I rotated the zoom lens on my camera to get a close up, just her face and hair. That face could be nothing other than Indian. Leena has a classic, regal look, her nose perhaps a little too prominent, too strong, to be truly beautiful, but it is striking just the same, and complements her well defined, high cheekbones, huge eyes, dark irises and lashes, strong forehead, determined chin, and full, soft, lips, the same lips that had caused the spurts and spatters that were now despoiling her. I wanted to capture that face on film, or at least a memory card, the moment when she looked not the high class member of what thought itself the superior caste, but rather a stunning but outrageous whore.
A child might have done it, a playful rebellious ten year old with a water pistol, firing again and again at its human target. Except instead of water, it would have had to be a mix of something thick and slightly yellow, with something watery, perhaps yoghurt diluted down with milk, to get both the colouring and consistency exactly right. Not so thick that the water pistol would be difficult to fire. Not so liquid that it would just run down the target's face in watery drips. Pull the trigger and the pistol would eject, not a stream, but a spurt of creamy fluid. Aim and fire. Splatter, spurt, splatter, spurt. Eyes, mouth, nose, cheeks, neck and breasts, her open mouth the best target, forcing her to swallow.
Not that any of the creamy globules had been made from milk, or fired from a child's toy gun, or would taste of yoghurt, certainly not the sweetened kind. More bitter than yoghurt on the tongue. Sticky too, like translucent, creamy coloured treacle, clinging to her face and upper body. One of Leena's eyes was closed, a globule lying horizontally across the lid, trapped by her long lashes. Yet even with this eye closed, Leena was still smiling delightedly.
I was around ten feet away, from where I had watched it all take place, the sexual baptism of Baleen Kaur, now Baleen Armstrong, no longer pure and wholesome, but despoiled by men she did not know and never would. Leena had anglicised her given name to something she considered to be more feminine, although she had once proudly told me that Baleen meant "a slender and pretty girl", chosen by doting parents, confident their daughter would grow up to look just like her mother, as she had done. This baptism of Baleen by semen had been worth capturing on camera, and mine is old school, not a cell phone, but a real camera, optical viewfinder, exchangeable lenses, a mount for separate flash, and the lens that I was using was a compact zoom, which was why I could home in on every detail of her face.
I took several shots in succession, the best way to ensure that one, at least, would be the money shot. I may be an amateur, but my technique is reasonably good. I was confident that I had it in the bag, but before I had time to lower the camera, Leena saw it. She gave me a look, but could not question me without first lapping up any globules within licking distance of her tongue, cleaning her upper and lower lips and swallowing, which led her to screw up her mouth in protest at the bitter taste.
"Have you been taking photographs?" she asked.
"Of course," I said.
"You can't!" Leena almost squealed in mock embarrassment, yet managed to laugh at the same time. I love her accent, high class Indian, unchanged by life in London since her family moved there from the Punjab when she was just twelve.
"I thought maybe framed, put on display," I suggested.
"You shit!" she laughed. "But you can't keep them! You have to delete them all!
How many did you take?"
"Enough," I said. "I'll delete them later. Maybe."
"You'd better!" Leena was still laughing. "I need to go in the sea. My God, I'm covered! I thought they'd never stop!"
She got from her knees and stood, turned and walked through a cleft in the dunes towards the expanse of sand that sloped gently to the water and stretched for a kilometre on either side. I was left to marvel at her daring, and trying to remember just how many men had used her for the bukkake session.
I keep my promises. I had said I would delete the photographs, but first I needed to be ready. I always carry with my at least one memory stick. I took one from my bag and slotted it in place. In moments I had copied twenty something shots of Leena. I unplugged the stick, returned it to my bag, and waited for her return.
When she came back, her hair was streaming wet. Her full breasts undulated as she walked towards me. Her face was clean, glistening now with water droplets instead of the thicker, heavier, globules of semen that I guessed were now floating in the sea.
"Show me!" she demanded.
I showed her, using the screen at the back of the camera to run through my photos, one at a time.
"Oh My God!" she said again, a favourite expression for anything remotely surprising to her. "I am such a total slut! You have to delete those!"
"You're sure?" I asked. "You don't want a momento?"
"Are you kidding?" Leena exclaimed. "No one is ever going to know that I just did that! Delete them!"
More slowly this time, I went through the photos one by one, deleting and confirming each in turn, while Leena watched, until the next photo that appeared was an innocent beach scene from our walk the day before. Not even a naked naturist in sight.
"You swear you will never tell anyone!" Leena insisted.
"Okay," I said. "I swear."
"Say it properly," Leena demanded.
"I swear I will never tell anyone what just happened," I said, in a mock children's tone of voice.
"I can still taste it," she said.
"Bitter?" I asked.
"Have we something sweet to drink?"
"Coke," I suggested, rummaging in my bag and finding the cans that were no longer as chilled as they had been when we had bought them.
I passed one of the cans to her. She pulled the ring and the Coke fizzed out. She put it to her lips to stem the flow, and drank.
"Would you like some?" she asked me, offering the can.
I took it from her and drank from it, passing it back to her with a thank you.
"Is it bad to admit that I am feeling really turned on," she said, taking the can and drinking some more. "You know that sucking cock does nothing to satisfy a woman."
I was still getting used to Leena being so totally uninhibited about talking about sex, but then she had just been pretty uninhibited once she had decided to suck the first guy's cock.
"I could lick you out," I suggested.
"Would you?" she said.
