- I'd been writing to him on the computer for four months; I'd read things
- he'd written before that, but somehow we never got around to writing to
- each other a long time. Since we'd begun our frequent letters, I'd
- found an incredible romantic: he could tell you about books and movies
- he'd discovered that no one had ever heard of, but when you read them,
- after he'd given you hints and things to look for, you felt as if
- nothing you'd ever read before was so beautiful, or so tragic.
-
- It was the spring of my freshman year, and I was going to Florida for
- spring break, the first time I'd been on a trip on my own... I'd grown
- up in a strict, spartan family, and though I'd yearned for freedom,
- though the romance my friends had told me about called to me like a
- distant song, it wasn't until then that I was free to answer it. When I
- discovered that he had his spring break at the same time, I convinced
- him (it wasn't too hard) to meet me in Florida, where he'd been before,
- which he'd told me a lot about.
-
- We'd arranged to meet at what he said was the only beach in Florida that
- was still unspoiled. "It goes on forever; just keep walking," he'd
- instructed me. This was a little scary, but exciting; it was hard to
- find, and when I found it, I drove as far as I could until I came to the
- end of the road, got out, and looked around.
-
- It was different, that much was certain. The sand wasn't white like the
- other beaches I'd seen; it was made of little pieces of sea shell, but
- soft. Hard to walk in. The sun was hot, but a cool breeze blew off the
- water. I went back to the car and got my bathing suit and a towel, and
- left my flip-flops in the car. I went back to the beach and started
- walking. My feet sank into the sand; the wind whipped my sundress
- around my legs. At first there were people, swimming and playing and
- fishing in the water, but after awhile I left them behind, and there was
- no one in sight but the sea birds. I kept walking, a little
- apprehensive, for what seemed several miles. On the horizon I saw what
- looked like a wrecked boat.
-
- Then I saw him, sitting on the boat, watching me walk toward him. He
- just sat, quietly, and I started to feel a little more nervous. As I
- drew closer, I knew it was him, though he was different than I'd
- imagined: tall, slim, in a white t-shirt and cutoffs, beautifully
- tanned. He had strong arms, strong legs, but yet was not muscular; he
- had deep-set eyes, a fine, beautiful but boyish face, wavy brown hair,
- and an irresitably cute button nose. I wondered if he though I was
- beautiful. Certainly not as beautiful as he was. I had doubts as to
- why I'd come.
-
- "Hi," he said. "So you're Kathy."
-
- "Yes, that's me," was all I could think to say. "I'm cold."
-
- "Let's sit on the beach; it's warmer."
-
- We both walked, a little shyly, higher up on the beach and sat next to
- each other. I turned and looked at him.
-
- He had beautiful eyes; deep, greenish grey, large and sensitive. He
- stared out to sea, his arms wrapped around his knees, seeming to be lost
- in thought. I thought that if I got up and walked away, he would
- probably not notice. So this was the person I'd written to all these
- months. It was funny how you could read a person's writing for a long
- time and never have any idea what they'd be like in person. The warm
- sun beat down on my shoulders, and glinted off his hair stirring softly
- in the wind.
-
- "I read `The Apple Tree' on the plane," I said. "You were right; it was
- great."
-
- He seemed to awaken from his thoughts. "Sieze the day," I though, and
- slipped my arm around his waist. It was a firm but soft waist; he
- slipped his arm around me and I felt warmer. "There's no time here," he
- said dreamily, "we have all day." He turned and looked into my eyes.
-
- His eyes were deeper than I'd imagined; bright and intense, I felt
- absorbed in them, felt myself warm to his gaze even more than to his
- touch. He brushed my hair away from my face and leaned forward and
- kissed me. It was a gentle kiss, a soft nibble; he nuzzled my cheek and
- wrapped his arms around me. I turned my face to him, and our mouths
- joined again in a deep, swirling kiss.
-
- We kissed for what seemed like hours; I lay back in the sand, and the
- thin fabric of my sundress seemed to dissolve beneath his gentle
- caresses. Almost. Not enough. I felt myself warm and wet, as I had
- before when I'd awakened from dreams; my body tingled, and I longed to
- feel his bare flesh against mine. "Wait," I whispered. I stood up for
- a second, watched his slightly startled face as I slipped out of the
- sundress, rolled it up, and dropped it on the sand. As I did so, his
- eyes roved along my body. I sat next to him. "Your turn," I smiled,
- surprised at my own aggressiveness.
-
- He reached over his head and pulled off the t-shirt in one movement,
- revealing his tanned chest. He looked longingly at me, and slipped his
- arms around me; he pressed against me, pressing against my nipples, one
- arm circling under my right breast as I turned to face him. Our bare
- legs tangled awkwardly together; he kissed me as the waves crashed in
- the distance. I felt warm, excited, giddy; I lay back, pulling him atop
- me, my legs pressed together. The wet denim of his cutoffs felt harsh
- against me as I slid my hands along his back pockets, and up under the
- leg openings until I could feel the soft curve of his buns. I felt a
- wave of desire sweep over me; barely thinking, I unbuttoned his front
- button and pulled, feeling the zipper slide open. As I did so, his
- erection, which had been pressed tight under the waistband, dropped
- free, brushing my hand. I'd gone this far with a guy before, more than
- once, but always I'd stopped it quickly here, caressing him before he
- could urge me onward until he released himself in my hand. This time,
- with the cool breeze and hot sun, alone miles from anyone, I felt
- different.
-
- The inside of my thighs ached to feel him against them. He nibbled my
- ear, seemingly lost in passion, as I moved until he was resting between
- my thighs, fully atop me. As I did so, I felt the breeze brush my
- wetness with a chill.
-
- "Kathy," he murmured, "are you protected?" So they really said that.
- Some part of me said, "nice guy!" some part of me just wanted... I
- wasn't really sure what. "Of course, Eric," I whispered. He just
- kissed me again, as we snuggled together; I felt the head of his manhood
- moving in my crotch, felt with some surprise the urge to take it inside
- of me. Still he kissed me, tenderly, gently. I felt him fumble like a
- bee looking for the opening of a flower, then felt him slip gently
- within the outer lips where I would explore on lonely nights the places
- that were most intimately mine alone to share with someone ... him! I
- suddenly realized. I ached to feel him deeper within me, yet...
-
- He looked startled for a moment; I felt a twinge of fear. We looked
- into each other's eyes, two animals, but unlike animals, knowing what
- would happen next. Then he smiled tenderly with those deep eyes again,
- and my frustration at the impasse we had reached grew overwhelming. I
- slid my hands around his buns as I felt him grow harder and more erect,
- felt his head swell inside my lips, against my surrendered virginity.
- "Hurry!" I started to say, but before I could even begin, I felt his
- buns tighten under my hands, his firm, strong belly flex; within the
- moment of a heartbeat I felt the pressure grow as if the head of him
- were swelling inside me, then suddenly felt what I had guarded until
- this moment pop with a brief stab of pain under his strong, tender,
- overwhelming passion. Before I could recover from my surprise he had
- pierced and was deep inside me, the pain gone, deeper than I could
- imagine anyone being. It felt so natural and so right as we began to
- move smoothly in unison together, my own desire growing more and more as
- I felt his hot breath on my neck. Suddenly I exploded in wave upon wave
- of ecstasy. "Kathy!" he moaned, as he thrust deep into me. (I didn't
- know, yet, to watch his face change at this moment, but I would see it
- many times in the days and nights that followed.) My own orgasm subsided
- as I felt the throbbing when he, pressed hard and still within me, came
- inside me over and over. With a sigh, he relaxed, and we lay together
- in a peaceful embrace as the sea birds called overhead.
