Her hand strayed down his back and around his waist, coming to a rest on his crotch. "I see you also lust after me." "Just a little." "Want to make love?" she said straightforwardly. "Here?" he asked. "Uh-huh." "It's in the wide open!" "So? It's not like anybody's watching us. You said it yourself- this beach is deserted. It's a short walk to Shardik Castle, but it's also behind that bend in the rock," she said, pointing. "We're alone. And I think it would be great to try it in the sunlight." "We'll get sand in everything." "I thought ahead," she said, reaching into her pack to pull out an large, thin folded blanket. "You brought that just for this reason." "What make you say that?" she said, grinning wider. "Because it's too thin to keep us warm, and it's big enough to move around on without getting sand everywhere."

"Sorry," she said, "but I've wanted to do this since I met you." "What?" "Get you out in the sunlight," she said breathlessly. "There's something about the way you look in the bright sun that I like. A lot." "Okay," he said with a ready smile. He helped her get out of her own clothing after she'd successfully stripped his pants off. "No," she said as he reached for his shirt. "Leave your shirt on- Open, but on. I like the way you look like that. |
