Chapter 2 – Chapter 2

"You want me to do what?"

Cath had come out of the bedroom of the Fire Island beach cottage Grant had lured her to for the Memorial Day weekend. She'd brought a variety of swimwear and finally decided to go brave with a bikini. But when she'd come out of the bedroom, it was to find Grant standing, in the buff, at the sliding glass doors out onto the deck.

She had to admit that he looked really good in naked one-quarter profile silhouetted in the glare of the sun's rays bouncing off the sand of the beach and into the main room of the beach house.

"This is Fire Island. Everyone goes nude on the beach here," Grant answered. "Besides, it's Nude Day, and we have an obligation to mark it properly."

"I'm not everyone," Cath answered. "And I'm sure you are making it up about Nude Day having conveniently fallen on the very day we came to a private beach."

"Oh, you are such a prude. And this is Fire Island. Every day is Nude Day here."

"No I'm not a prude." Cath could feel her flesh heating up and blushing. "This just isn't my lifestyle."

They'd had this exchange before even though the circumstances were entirely different. Cath didn't want to have the exchange again. She never felt like her arguments won the day. She had come to want Grant for one thing only, really, and having him think she was a sexual prude took the edge off the thrill of enjoying what was hanging between his legs.

"There are only two houses on this beach, Cath, and the guy living in the other one is never here. You were pretty uninhibited in bed after the gallery opening. I'd thought we'd had a breakthrough here. You've got a beautiful body, and there's only me to see it here, so—"

"Oh, all right," Cath broke in in a rather irritated voice. "I've always wanted an all-over tan." She tugged at the strings of her bikini top as Grant smiled, slid open the glass door, and went out onto the deck. His arms were full of oversized towels. Cath managed to lighten up her mood, glad to see that the sand would be well-covered. She'd been looking forward to having sex on the beach for much of the week, but each time she'd thought about it, she'd thought about the itch of having sand everywhere—and she meant everywhere. This thought had flashed in her mind while Grant was whining about her being a prude, and she'd almost laughed. Of course it was prudish worrying about being nude on the beach. She had fantasized much of the week about being fucked on the beach. She didn't think that would happen with them wearing bathing suits.

She gingerly walked out onto the deck and then down the stairs and onto the sand. Looking all around she saw that Grant had been right. Their cottage, which Grant said the owner of the bigger house next door let him use, and the bigger house were perched over a secluded beach out on a bit of spit jutting into Great South Bay between the Robert Moses Causeway and the island town of Kismet. The neighborhood, set on a loop road off Burma Road, was residential and exclusive, and it looked like most of the home owners were enjoying their Memorial Day weekend somewhere else and seeking to avoid the raucous crowds that took over the island on holiday weekends such as this.

The beach at this point was small, but, more important, it was secluded. Massive boulders went down to the water on either side that evidently staved off any interest of beach strollers—or even interlopers—in invading the private stretch of sand. Grant had spread the towels and already was loping toward the water when Cath focused on him again. With a sigh, she dropped her beach bag, which contained, among other paraphernalia, lubricant lotion and packets of condoms—just in case Grant had forgotten them—and, casting her flip-flops off of her feet and turning them so the sun's rays bounced off the bottoms rather than where her feet would have to touch, she followed Grant to the water.

Grant was swimming strongly out beyond the surf and toward distant Long Island as Cath stood in the waves breaking on the shore and acclimated to the frigid water. She wanted to swim out toward Grant too, just to prove that she could. Her parents had a condo in Ocean City, Maryland, and Cath was no stranger to the sea. She was still waist high in the surf, though, when Grant was back and pulling her farther out into the water.

He rose up out the water and held her there briefly to his chest. She arched her back as his mouth went to her nipples and he sucked hard and worked them gently with his teeth. Reaching down for him, she found that not only was he hard but he also had already rolled a condom on.

She knew they were going to fuck out here in the bay. That was fine with her. She raised her knees to straddle his hips and wrapped a hand around his engorged cock, moving it to her clit and rubbing herself with the sheathed head. They moaned almost in unison. She pushed the cock head lower, ready to impale herself on it, but Grant jerked away and started drawing her farther into the water.

"What?" she murmured.

"Not here. Swirling sand in the surf. It'll get everywhere. A little farther out."

She laughed. Grant always thought of everything. The relentlessly invading sand was all she'd been thinking of most of the week, and once he'd gotten her all hot and bothered, she'd immediately forgotten about the logistics of it.

He pulled her out to where the water was nearly chest high, but not too high for him to continue his pleasant assault on her nipples as her breasts bobbed on the surface of the water, and then, her knees hooked on his hips once more and the fingers of one of her hands working her clit, she positioned his cock head at her entrance with the other hand.

Grant thrust deeply and brutally up into her cunt. She lurched backward and, using her knees as leverage, began pumping herself hard on his cock. She was fucking herself on him. She had come such a long way in the months since she'd lived in Annapolis with her parents and sat on her parents' front porch in the swing with this Naval Academy midshipman or that one and let him finger her through the leg hole of her panties and even, eventually, if he was polite enough in asking, fuck her in the backseat of her car in the family garage. But she had never stripped down like this for sex, let alone taken the lead.

After the first orgasm, Grant carried her back up through the surf to the beach and laid her down on the towels on her back.

Cath was still stinging a bit from his taunt of her being prudish, so, rather than letting him cover her body with his, she gently pulled him down onto the towels, onto his back. He was still in full erection, having made sure she was satisfied first. Cath straddled his torso with her knees, pressed down on his arms with her hands, and impaled herself on his cock.

Grant was laughing and groaning at the same time, and he had a decidedly self-congratulating expression on his face. Cath had never taken the initiative like this before. This was even more surprising than the other evening at the art gallery, when she had strongly hinted—enough for Grant to fully understand her without explicit reference—that she wanted to make love before going to dinner. They had lost their reservations at a restaurant that was very hard to get seats in, but, as he'd only booked the restaurant to impress Cath enough to get his cock inside her later, it no doubt had all worked out to the good in his view. Cath knew—and well appreciated—that working on her inhibitions had been one long campaign for him.

They hadn't even settled into a good rhythm, however, before Cath froze, rolled off of Grant, and pulled one of the towels around her torso.

"What is it, Cath?"

"Sorry. So, sorry. I can't. Not nude out here in the open." And then she was standing, forcing her feet into her flip-flops and struggling up the beach to the beach house.

Grant was left, still hard, and really wanting it, but flabbergasted at what had caused her inhibitions to flood in again. If he'd been looking in the direction that Cath had been looking as she rode his cock, though, he would have seen the figure of the man on the deck of the main house, training the lens of a pair of binoculars on them. By the time Grant stood and pulled up the remaining towels, though, the man had retreated into the house.

Grant was even more confused when he reached the beach house, because, as he entered the house, Cath pushed him down on his back on the carpet in front of the sliding glass door, mounted his cock, and completed the fuck.

That evening Grant teased Cath off and on about her bouts of prudishness while, both fully dressed, they shared the duties of preparing a dinner. Cath wouldn't tell him what she'd seen, though. She was too embarrassed. It also stung that she wasn't able to just continue the sex on the beach whether or not anyone was watching. Grant was making her inhibitions out as something she just had to overcome, and maybe he was right. She wasn't in Annapolis anymore and playing around with panting midshipmen. She lived in the Big Apple. She enjoyed sex—more now than the furtive fumblings with the midshipman, so full of themselves and their cushy futures and acting like they were doing her a favor to fuck her, or that they were just in a hurry to carve another notch on their ceremonial saber sheath.

Grant had suggested that she needed to do something daring and scandalous to rid herself of this albatross forever, and Cath, after what she now saw as her bizarre behavior this afternoon, was beginning to think he was right.

"How about some two-handed poker after dinner?"

"Sure, why not?" Cath answered. What she really wanted to do was to make love after dinner. She was becoming addicted to Grant's cocking. Maybe under the stars out on the deck. Maybe work on those inhibitions.

"Strip poker? The winner gets a 'yes' to any single request of the other?"

"Sure, why not?" If she won, they'd be out on the deck.

She lost. But they were still out on the deck. Grant pulled off his socks, the margin of his victory in the poker game, and carried Cath out on the deck; pulled a pad off a chaise lounge and placed it down on the deck floor; pushed Cath down on her back, with a chair cushion under the small of her back; and fucked her missionary style, while Cath groaned and moaned and stared up at the stars. She'd won too.

"So this was your wish too?"

"My wish to be granted for winning the poker game?"

"Yes."

"No. This was just because you looked so fuckable. I had to restrain myself to get to the end of the game. I only was able to hold off because I really want something from you."

"Something other than this? What?"

"I want a photograph of you done by Hunter Winslow. One like in the galley."

"Oh, Grant. I don't know . . . I couldn't . . ."

"There is that prudishness again. I won, fair and square. You need this as much as I do. It would be just for me. I'd hang it where no one else could see it. And you've seen what he does. Someone you know—as intimately as you know me—would have to walk right up to it to have any idea it was you."

"I don't know Grant. Oh . . . OH!"

Grant had moved down her body, until his face was in her pubic vee. His arms were wrapped around her waist, holding her in thrall, as his lips and teeth found her clit and she clutched at his hair and moaned and started to thrash about wildly.

She saw that lights were on in the other house and she could see the silhouette of a figure standing out on the deck of that house, looking in their direction, no doubt hearing her moans and cries of ecstasy.

But, throwing an arm over her eyes and crushing her pelvis against Grant's digging tongue, she arched her head back and began to yowl, no longer caring who heard or saw.
