They head toward the water as Nick tries to stand back and inconspicuously take her in some more. Toes indicate the lake is still in springtime mode, but they ease into it. She develops goosebumps, at some point she looks down her swimsuit top, "down, boys."
He gets the feeling life will never be the same after today.
Noreen looks up to see him looking her way through his shades and splashes him with the water. He returns fire by scooping with both hands. This eventually gets them further off shore. Once about waist high she gets behind him, back to back and locks arms,
"Carry me onward my fiery and vicious steed."
Nick takes them further from the shore, "What's that from?"
"I dunno, just sounded good," as he tries to assess exactly what he’s feeling against his back.
A few more beachgoers have come and gone, about half a dozen other towels on the beach at this point and there are just some kids playing at the other end.
"Where to m'lady?"
She lets go and Nick turns around to find her doing a backstroke. "I never learned to do that."
"We always had a pool."
"They tried twice to get me through swimming lessons, just didn't like my face going under."
"You'd probably do better to teach yourself, Nick."
"Story of my life."
He starts lifting his feet but it's too shallow to tread water. Gradually he realizes how relaxing this is, the breeze is gentle and there hasn't been any boat wake yet. The opposite shores that are visible are lined with docks, roads, some mobile homes, and the commercial row appears to be right past some of it.
Noreen is just making little circles with the back stoke, eyes closed.
"This was a great idea," he observes.
She reaches out her hand and he grabs it. Not sure what else to do, he just pulls her along and heads out a bit deeper, till it's at his collar. She pulls herself closer, and he holds her as if carrying, she leans on his shoulder.
At some point the kissing begins, no one knows who started it. Nick has his hand behind her neck and gradually she turns and embraces him full astride. He feels her back, massages the back of her neck, pretty soon he feels the warmth of her promised land against his counterpart.
She pauses the kissing and takes down her straps, holding her shoulders beneath the water. With one hand he massages her breasts, still firm as he remembers from that fateful night, generous nipples are quite angry.
"Don't be shy," she whispers, eyes still closed.
He explores her hips, what some might call breeders, she's a bony girl after all, then under her swimsuit, more goosebumps. He wants to touch her anus but doesn't want to give the wrong signal.
Nick navigates her long pins, symmetrically, and despite being gentle finds out her feet are quite ticklish. "Sorry."
"Don't ever be."
Now there's one thing left, the unseen. He makes his way there with the thumbs first, she wiggles her hips and keeps her head leaning on him. It seems she keeps things groomed down there, Nick hadn't thought about taming his own lands, oh well. After pulling the isthmus of her swimsuit aside he begins massaging, exploring, trying to keep it gentle, so far so good. It seems the hood of the little nose thingy is where it's at for her, so we'll rub that a while, then underneath.
"That's it."
After a little while of this and a few gasps, she reaches for his trunks and finds it has a front hatch. Gently she finds what she's looking for, takes his member in one hand and firms it up just a bit. Her other hand finds his sack, "now these I remember."
"Mmmmhmmmm."
She repositions and touches the end of his to the part of hers that he was just warming up, and starts rubbing. And rubbing. "Sweetie it's OK, just let it happen."
The rubbing continues and it was going to happen, no doubt. Nick looks out at the newly familiar shoreline, cars going their way, some boats in the water, did they have any idea how powerful-
They both moan softly as it lets loose in a gentle sting, and she gives him a final squeeze then tucks it back inside the trunks. "How was that?"
"Let me hold you some more."
Still topless, she turns around to face the other shoreline and reaches around to support herself against the back of his neck, and he holds her midsection.
A few clouds go by and she turns her head for a kiss, then Nick starts kissing her neck.
"Nick that will land you in trouble."
He reaches for a breast, massages it back to the enraged state, then reaches downstairs and picks up where he left off. Eventually they reach an equilibrium where he can hold her and she can let her legs float, he just rubs where he had been, and eventually with the other hand he can find the back door, massage it gently, start to penetrate just a tad.
She turns to her side and holds onto his shoulders, "Put your fingers inside me."
And so he does, gradually exploring the depths, reaching the nub the end, can't remember the clinical term but still, there it is -"
"Right there," she admits through clenched teeth. He hits the same spot best he can, then is able to probe once more at her puckered anus, and then he feels a twitch down there, she gasps then melts into his arms.
Nick feels a bit wiser as he peers at that shore. Noreen dozes off for what seems like just a couple minutes, then kisses his cheek.
She stretches her neck a bit then moves to get back to her feet, then replaces her straps, then finds his hand and they head to the shore.
Back on their towels he sits facing her, she re-applies lotion, has him refresh the same as before, then stretches out on her stomach. Eventually Nick does the same thing.
"You are going to spoil me, aren't you?" She asks from beneath her shades.
"I just want to get things right."
"You did it right, no doubt about it."
"Haven't you had better?"
"Nick, it's not been like that at all...I haven't had good luck, guys don't really seem to get me...back in college I was around music and artsy types, one of them turned out gay, at least the one that I’ve confirmed and some others were just weird or...kinda pervy. It seemed I should be having more fun, or enjoying something, girls seemed to like giving hand jobs and other stuff, but then, a lot of them just liked the power it gave them. I would get alone with a guy and he didn't seem interested, then one time I gave this guy a boner and it kinda freaked me out, i tried it in my mouth and almost gagged, finally was able to finish him off with my hands and then, it was awful, we didn't have any chemistry, I just cleaned things up and he drove me home without saying much." Her voice started to break as she spoke.
"It's hard to believe, you're amazing."
"You are so kind."
"I mean it, your body, you have such a confident posture, like nothing can stop you."
She turns his way and kisses him. "I'm serious, after a while I just gave up, even wondered if I wasn't, you know, into other girls, but that wasn't it. I just wanted to teach and play, did some craft show stuff for a while, my brothers were married and having kids so I got to be Aunt Nori, and that seemed to be it."
"So three years ago..."
"Yeah, it was a weird time, and things started stirring inside me. I had gotten to the point where I didn't think about guys, or really feel, you know the needs, and I couldn't remember the last time I had, well, done anything in the shower -"
"Not sure what you mean, can you demonstrate sometime?"
"Hey that's not a spectator sport, it requires audience participation."
"That works."
"AHEM as I was saying...for whatever reason, around Christmas that year I started getting twinges, wondering if a new season was approaching, maybe I'd meet someone and then, who knows."
"Well you kinda did then."
"Yeah...and, like I said, my mind was swimming and I just went for it, that night."
Nick pauses a second. "Noreen, I have no idea why I did things the way I did, everything was right there and, well, you're nice and tall..."
"It was different, that's for sure, but I would have stopped you if I weren't comfortable, I was pretty curious."
"To be honest, actually..."
"Go on."
"Well, I've never had the desire to impregnate a female, or even risk it, if that makes sense."
"It does, some of us are just not into starting a family."
"Back in the grade school years, a bunch of us would run around the church parking lot after service. At some point the other guys would disappear and I'd go back in, and there they were in the nursery holding these little kids. I would just, like, stop right at the door, couldn't understand how it took that kind of turn."
"And do those guys have their own kids yet?"
"One of them got a girl pregnant early in high school, the other one is with a gal who already has a couple."
"I've been waiting for the right time to tell you something..." then she flips over and pulls her swimsuit up at the hip to revel the lower tummy. "See the scars?"
"Oh yeah." as he tries not to let on that he can see a wee bit of patch.
"I had to have surgery last year."
"Are you OK?"
"Yes, I'm fine now, had some cysts, not malignant thankfully, but it knocked out my chances. Nick, I am open for business."
"You mean-"
She giggles, "you know I'm not trying to pressure you, but yeah, I can't conceive."
"Oh." He thinks a minute. "So are you, I mean, OK with that…um…psychologically? Or -"
"Yeah I am, like I said, after our first encounter, something just told me that was a sign that I should just settle on the fact that I wasn't going to have kids, and that was very liberating, I felt I could go on with life, figure out what to do with it."
"Teaching."
She taps his nose. "Doors have started opening up. And then, of course, once I started feeling like shit and got the diagnosis, that all seemed to fall in line with what I already knew."
"Funny how that works."
"Do we have the craziest story ever or what?"
"I never mentioned, to anyone, even meeting you before, feels like a betrayal."
"I think it's nice we have a little secret, I'd say things are working out nicely, at least for me."
"Same here."
She looks out at the water. His stomach starts to growl.
"Did you wanna get lunch?"
"Yeah, shortly, howbout we get out of the sun for a bit then head to that dairy stand?"
So they pick up and flip flop back to the jeep, still shaded.
"By the way," Noreen says, "remember when we were back to back?"
"Of course."
"Um, I did that so I could pee."
"You could have done that while we were front to front."
Her eyes get huge, shimmering in the shade, "You are a bad bad boy Nick Swanson."
"Complaining?"
"Get in your seat."
And they proceed over to Daisy's Dairy, decide on splitting a shredded chicken, fried mushrooms and mozzarella sticks, Nick gets a lime slush and she does a mocha shake.
