I stood outside the deck of the beach house, savoring the humid, hot air pressing the gauzy sundress against my sweat damp body. It felt wonderful here on the Alabama Coast, out on Daulphin Island. I was a world away from the frigid north bay of California, my frozen bones thawing.
The dawn rays of sunlight glinted off the sugary white sands. My first day back and I eagerly scanned the coast where the water kissed and licked the land. Did I expect to see him striding out of the gulf waters last night? No, of course not, but I wanted it. I wanted to find him tucked into the too crisp sheets upon my arrival, his cocky grin slanting his wide mouth.
I wanted him.
Sadly, the house was as empty as I'd left it six months ago.
The rain earlier left the beach clean and pitted by the fury of the storm, washing away all trace of human passage. I walked down the stairs, trying not to think of the last time I made my way down these steps. It had been the last time I saw him. The memory sent up a fountain of sensation.
He held me pinned against the sun-hot wood with his fist in my hair and his teeth catching the nape of my neck. 'Don't leave me. Don't go this time.'
I could still smell him, sweaty and musky from our hours of fucking. Even after all that sex, he still wanted and needed more.
'I can't stand to go back. I can't stand to not have /this/.' His cock punctuated last word with a thrust that tore a sob from my lips. 'Don't. Go.'
Deeper and deeper the thickness of his arched prick stroked my creamy pussy. He struck in deep, twisting his hips upward sharply to pierce even deeper before withdrawing to the head, letting it pop out with a lewd, wet slurp. Empty and weak, I clawed at the wood until he thrust into me again, driving the breath and voice from me as my whole body was lifted by the force of him.
I never wanted to leave, not this place and not him. I never wanted to turn away from him. Not only because he fucked the sense right out of me, but because my life back on the west coast was an empty husk. I'd lost the spring to lust and forgot the doldrums of work. But then life called me back. Only six months away I promised him.
Now, it was fall, almost winter and I was back. Sadly, the beach was empty and he was gone. Memories and the slick heat between my thighs were all I had left of him.
The number he gave me was disconnected the first time I called from the airport. Yes, I had second thoughts about leaving. I listened to disconnect tones chime in my ear and felt my heart break. Our time together was a wild flame that could not sustain me. I had to live in the real world. There wasn't anything for me in Alabama. I told myself I didn't care about a bunch of Goddamn rednecks. If he couldn't give me a real way to contact him, I had to admit it was a flash in the pan. He knew how to get a hold of me. He never called or wrote.
"You're not going out there to see that --man- are you?" My sister scolded me as I packed up, watching me with envy and sympathy. Maybe it had been only sympathy.
"I'm going out there for vacation. I own a house out there I hardly use. I may as well take advantage of it." I don't know why I had to defend my actions to my own sister. I felt silly, like a girl with a crush on the football hero, hoping he would notice her.
My sister just rolled her eyes while helping me finish packing. She drove me to the airport and she told me, in her usual seriousness to be careful.
I was done with being careful. My life was a series of plotted points on a map, charted to avoid all the dangers. I always walked on a path paved by others and patrolled so nothing bad would happen to me. Thus, nothing happened to me. From the mild little town I lived to my middle of the road job. I dreamed mister safe would be delivered on my doorstep. We would form a harmless life together. This wasn't asking too much. I didn't need perfect. I longed for this my whole life. Then, two years ago, I found this place on the beach. I met --him-.
I walked barefooted down the beach, my footsteps the first human marks in the wet sand. By noon I had lost sight of the beach house and toed through the foamy surf without a destination in mind. Perhaps I'd have better luck running into him if I hung out at the Oar House, or the Pelican Reef. At least I could have a drink and get out of the heat.
Alone on the beach, I strode into the shallows of the ocean, splashing water over my arms, the sea felt lukewarm in the oppressive heat, it didn't do anything to cool me. I stepped deeper into the curling waves, letting them soak my knees and then lap at my thighs and the already soaked panties. How could I get myself so worked up and frothy with need for a man I hardly knew? On the tiny chance that he'd remember the date that I'd return to the beach house?
I could only laugh at the mix of frustration and embarrassment warring in my stomach. Maybe I should just pack up and go back home.
"What's so funny?" Asked a familiar voice, sadly not the one I needed and longed for.
I hesitated to turn and face the intruder, I didn't want him to see the heat in my face. He would surely see the raw need in my gaze. Andrew stood at the shore with his arms crossed over his chest, smirking at me.
