Nearly
exhausted, Jennifer rested her arms over the center of her windsurf board. Once
again she had wrestled the board back into position, the sail now lying in the
water opposite her. Her muscles felt like they had no strength left. She didn't
need to worry about drowning, as her thin vest held her buoyant enough to keep
her head above water. Frustration was setting in after an hour of trying, and
failing, to hold the sail out of the water for more than a few moments. Each
time she pulled it up, she would feel the board begin to move, slipping through
the water as the anchor the sale created was released. Each time she had
waited, gotten her balance, then moved to pull the boom into the breeze and
each time, she would find herself suddenly wobbling, just on the edge of
falling, before losing it and once again splashing into the river. A couple of
times she had landed on the mast, nearly knocking the wind out of her with the
force of the collision. Fortunately the mast was fiberglass, and flexed so that
she wasn't badly hurt. Still... she was done. Windsurfing was just not her
thing.
"Frustrated?"
The male voice suddenly behind her made her jump, a shiver running down her back
as she turned. He was coasting up quietly, his right hand casually holding the
boom; his sail near idle in the breeze. As his board slipped close he dropped
the mast, letting it fall gracefully into the water, at the same time slipping
down into a sitting position sideways on his board. Jennifer's mind registered
well muscled legs, a wide chest with solid looking arms, nicely tanned all
over. Sandy brown, almost blonde hair was kept nicely trimmed, and a bright,
white smile carried up to his eyes. She'd heard that if a smile carried to the
eyes, it was genuine.
"That
would be putting it mildly", she answered. "I just can't seem to get
my balance right."
The
man nodded. She noted his hair curled a little, but his suit indicated he was
still mostly dry. Obviously an experienced surfer. "It can be daunting,
until you do. When I first learned, I was told that I wouldn't get it until I
was ready to quit and then it would happen."
Jennifer
quirked an eyebrow. "What would happen?"
That
smile again. "Then you get it. Your balance. Or your sea legs. Whatever
you want to call it. I know it was that way for me. I think I was falling for
two hours before I finally learned." His eyes squinted a bit, against the
sunlight reflected from the water. "The good news is, it's like riding a
bicycle; once you learn, you never forget." He nodded as he spoke, as if
subconsciously encouraging her.
Jennifer
held her breath a moment, then reached up, and in a quick move pulled herself
up onto her board. She sat facing the man. Now that the sun was higher behind
him, she could see his blue eyes. Light blue, with a darker ring of blue at the
edge. Friendly eyes, she thought.
"I
don't know," she sighed, "I think I'm done for the day."
He
paused for a moment, his eyes considering. "Well, then this might be the
time you get it. Come one, give it one more try." He smiled that smile
again.
Jennifer
thought for a second, but decided to try. "You're the pro." she said,
turning to kneel on the board, reaching for the mast rope. It was a thicker
rope, tied from the point where the boom met the mast to a loop near the base
of the mast, its sole purpose for pulling the sail out of the water.
She
heard him bark a short laugh, behind her. "Hardly! I've only been surfing
for a few years. Still learning too."
He
watched as she bent, bending her knees while she balanced the weight of the
sail, before leaning back, hard, and pulling with the weight of her body. The
sail responded slowly at first, beginning to lift more quickly as the water
drained from it. She felt the board begin moving through the water as the
breeze pushed at the mylar. Now the end of the boom was just touching the
water, the mast at about a thirty degree angle, and she balanced her weight
against the pull of the breeze above and the current below.
"Okay,"
she heard him say. "Now, just hold there a bit. Feel your balance. Don't
try to pull the mast up yet. Just feel the water moving the board. Feel the
air. The most precarious point is when you pull the sail free of the water completely,
the breeze will be pushing at the sail, and the board will be free of any extra
drag, so it will move more too."
Jennifer
looked back to see the man was now up, pulling his sail up into the same
position in which she held hers. She noted the way the muscles in his legs
stood out as he pulled, his shoulders flexing under the weight. She was
surprised to find herself suddenly imagining what he would look like without
that safety vest or those swim briefs. She blinked away the thought she didn't
want to end up in the river again. Not the right time, girl. Besides, he was
talking.
"Okay,
you're doing great so far. Now, try to do the next part all in one smooth move.
Pull the end of the sail free of the water, put a little weight onto your front
foot, and at the same time pull the boom up to catch some of the wind. Not all
of it, just enough so that you feel the sail pulling you." He nodded
encouragement, smiling again.
"Okay,
Jennifer... nothing ventured..." she murmured to herself, and pulled.
There, sliding her hands onto the boom, weight on her front foot, feeling the
breeze catching the sail. The pressure pulling at her arms. She felt herself
almost falling toward the sail, and eased her back hand a bit, dumping just a
little of the breeze out of the sail.
"Excellent!"
she heard her new teacher shout. "Now ease your weight onto your back foot
a bit, but keep most of your pressure on the front foot. Remember, that's how
you steer your board."
Jennifer
felt the breeze pulling at her arms. She tilted the mast forward and back in
marginal, small moves, the way she had been shown at the short lesson earlier
in the day. Her legs shook a bit as she realized she was still upright! She
risked a glance back to see that her partner was now twenty yards behind her.
She was doing it! She was windsurfing!
"Ahhh!"
she whooped with glee. She kept her concentration, though; she was determined
not to lose this now that she had the board actually moving. She heard, rather
than saw, the man sailing closer behind her. His voice carried easily over the
water.
"I
think you've got it!" he said. "Keep going! Let's see if you can make
it to that island ahead."
Jennifer
looked through the transparent panel of her sail. Sure enough, there was the
small island that marked the midway point of the wide river. From shore it had
looked small, but now she realized it was a decent size. She guessed they were
a little more than half-way to it already.
As
they sailed, Mark introduced himself and provided pointers on how to windsurf.
How to hold her body straight, pressing her hips toward the mast rather than
letting her ass hang out. How to keep her arms held in a way so that she
wouldn't tire too quickly. Even how to get the most of her balance so that she
wasn't constantly fighting to keep the board straight. Soon the island loomed
close. By now they were sailing side by side, and the breeze felt more like a
friend, rather than some phantom trying to knock her from her perch.
"Okay,
now do as I do." Mark said, before leaning back to catch more wind,
pulling ahead of Jennifer by a few yards. She watched as he rode the board
right up to the edge of the beach, letting his sail fall into the water a few
yards before the board tip struck the sand, stepping off onto the beach as his
board grounded itself. He turned to watch as she followed suit, mimicking his
move exactly. He grinned as she stopped next to him. "You're a pro
already." he chuckled.
Jennifer
couldn't keep the smile from her face. Hours of exertion had paid off, and she
felt like she could tackle anything now. Perhaps even Mark. As he unzipped his
safety vest, she noted a well muscled chest, covered with curled, light brown
hairs. Again she felt a twinge, as if something was switching on deep inside
her. He sat down on an ancient fallen tree, now stripped of bark and whitened
by time and tide, it made for a natural bench on the small beach. Pine and
birch trees lined the boundary between sand and forest, twenty yards back.
Jennifer looked for a moment out at the other boaters, and at the far beach,
back on shore, where her friends were sunning themselves. She didn't feel any
danger, though, here alone with Mark. No warning tingles. Just another kind of
tingle.
She
clasped her hands together at her chest, and bowed slightly at the waist.
"My thanks, surf master. I do appreciate the help." She unzipped her
own vest, and let it fall beside his.
Mark
laughed, and she sat beside him. They chatted a bit, about their vacations,
their work, their friends. As they did, she noticed Mark's eyes straying, from
time to time. He seemed to be drawn to her legs, and her breasts, but mostly he
stared into her eyes, and sometimes he glanced away, back across the river.
Finally,
one of those times, she asked. "What are you looking for?"
He
grinned. "Just wondering when your boyfriend is going to come rescue
you."
Jennifer
felt her face flush a bit. "Oh, no boyfriend waiting for me. Not now,
anyway. I'm just here with some friends today."
She
saw Mark nod to himself slightly, his grin once again lighting his face. She
could almost hear the unspoken "Oh? Good." run through his head.
Finally
she stood, looking to their windsurf boards. "Do you want to get back out
there?" she asked, reaching to pull him to his feet.
He
resisted, though, staying seated. Suddenly she realized he was blushing, badly.
His teeth were very white, showing now as he grinned ruefully, shaking his
head. "I, uh..." he stammered a bit. "I can't get going just
yet." His eyes were looking directly into hers. They seemed bluer than
before.
Jennifer
felt suddenly bold. She released Mark's hands, and dropped down to her knees,
between his legs. She pressed her body against his, lightly, her face at his
chest. As she looked up at him, she felt something pressing against her stomach.
Something very firm and very warm. Mark shivered, and the something throbbed,
pressing harder against her. Mark looked down into her eyes, questioning. She
replied by kissing him, fully, and hard. His lips tasted of salt. "I'd
like to thank you for the lesson." she murmured.
Mark
returned the kiss, groaning softly against her lips as his arms came around to
hold her. He slid down from his seat to the sand, pulling Jennifer closer. Her
legs slid around his waist, and now she could feel his arousal pressing
directly against her own. His arms felt wonderful around her, holding her
gently, with a strength that left her feeling protected and vulnerable at the
same time. The low, building tingle deep within her was now blooming into full
fledged lust. She throbbed inside, a wave of desire washing over her. She
wondered, momentarily, at where this was all heading, but she felt no desire to
stop what had started. She knew she was going to have Mark inside her, right
here.
His
kisses moved to her neck, then her shoulder, and Jennifer leaned back, away
from him, to let him travel further. She could feel Mark's breath on her chest,
his nose sliding between her breasts. He breathed in her scent, kissing her
chest, right between her breasts. Her hips slid higher into his lap as he
lifted her to his mouth, so that his arousal was now pressing against her ass.
His
teeth caught the edge of her bikini top, pulling it downward, exposing one of
her hardening nipples to his lips. He suckled her, his tongue circling, teeth
lightly grazing her flesh. Jennifer felt electric shivers of arousal run
through her body as his lips ignited a fire within her core. She could feel his
lips, his tongue, circling, loving her nipple until it was fully erect, each
touch sending another little shock of pleasure through her body. Each little
jolt caused her hips to grind against Mark's.
She
fell back as he moved lower still, kisses trailing down her stomach as his
fingers found the ties at the side of her suit bottom, deftly undoing them.
Mark's tongue trailed down to find her cleft, already wet and awaiting his
touch. Jennifer's back arched as his tongue slid between her nether lips,
pressing in, then sliding up to find her clit. Her hands slid into his hair,
holding him to her core as he devoured her, each lick taking her a step closer
to the edge of that precipice. She widened her legs, opening herself to him
completely.
Mark
slid lower, his strong hands sliding down Jennifer's sides and up her legs,
loving the curve of her thigh. He looked up at her, watching her face to see
how each touch of his tongue affected her. One hand reached to hold hers, and
they linked fingers, Jennifer's tightening against his as his tongue brushed
her clit. She could feel the fingers of his other hand, teasing between her
pussy lips. They were already swelling from the attention of his mouth, now
they began to flower open as his fingers slid between them. He didn't press
into her immediately; rather, he grazed his fingertips up and down between
them, separating them slowly, before beginning to press inward. When he did
finally slip a finger into her, Jennifer gasped, her hips pressing back against
his touch, as if to pull him inside.
So
close, now, Jennifer could feel her orgasm only moments away. Before reaching it,
she pulled Mark, dragging him up to find his lips with her own. Her fingers
pulled at his briefs, pushing them down onto the edge of his hips as they
kissed with an almost animalistic hunger. Her hand slipped down, between his
legs, catching his erect length as it sprang free of his suit. Mark was very
aroused, his length thick between her fingers. She found herself momentarily
wondering if she could take him; her fingers didn't come close to closing
completely around him. She looked up to see the desire in his eyes, and passion
overcame fear. Jennifer slid her fingers down to his tip, pressing him to the
mouth of her pussy. Her labia were open now, ready for him, and his eyes closed
in reaction as she felt the first inch of him press in.
Here
Mark slowed. Jennifer laid back again, one hand on his chest, the other on his
shoulder. Mark held himself on his arms, looking down into her eyes as he
slowly slid into her in small, measured movements. Each thrust carried him a
little deeper, each withdrawal a little longer than the one before. Jennifer
began to roll her hips up against Mark, matching his movements. Finally he
filled her completely, his eyes closing in pleasure as he felt the silky grip
of her surrounding him. He rolled his hips against hers, his hairs pressing and
stimulating her clit, and Jennifer felt that tingle, that low pressure,
building once again within her. Mark began kissing her again, lowering himself
so that she could feel his chest brushing her nipples. She responded with more
hungry, passionate kisses, her tongue darting to tease his. As she did, she
felt Mark shiver, his body shaking with desire. His strokes began to lengthen,
his speed increasing, pulling almost all the way out before sliding back into
her fully. Jennifer slid her legs around his, pulling him in tight as she felt
her orgasm rushing closer. His teeth were on her neck, nipping at her, sucking
kisses lost in a flurry of movement as he moved harder inside her, his hips
driving into hers as his control slipped away. Mark's hand slid into her hair,
cupping her head from behind, and as he kissed her once more, hard, Jennifer's
orgasm triggered, wave after wave hitting her, lifting, carrying her as her
nerves exploded in pleasure. As she cried out, Mark shuddered in reaction; her
orgasm had triggered his, and she felt him stiffen, sliding deeply into her,
holding himself there as his manhood throbbed. Her pussy gripped him, milking
him as he came, his seed filling her, his own cry of passion loud and wild.
Finally he slowed, his muscles relaxing, and he lifted himself onto his elbows
once again, again looking into her eyes as he stayed buried deep within her.
Finally
he spoke. "Do you always thank your surf teachers this way?" A grin
crooked the edge of his mouth.
"Only
the ones that give me personal lessons" she replied, smiling.
They
lay on their sides, talking for the next half hour. Finally feeling their
strength returning, they sat, half naked, and looked back across the wide
river, to the main beach where her friends waited. A flash of reflected
sunlight caught Mark's eye.
"Do
your friends" Mark asked quietly, "have binoculars?"
"Oh,
no" Jennifer blinked.
--------
Back
on shore, Caroline dropped the binoculars down against her chest.
Her
friend, Sandra, was sunning herself beside her on a towel. Without raising her
head, she asked "How's Jennifer doing out there?"
Caroline's
head shook slightly, and her shoulders jumped a bit as she choked back a laugh.
"I think she's got the hang of it." As she lifted the glasses to her
eyes once more, she shifted her hips back and forth, silently wishing she had a
little more privacy.
