Given Time

?25?

I officially love this beach! It's so clean, and for the time of day, there's not many people here. One elderly couple is taking a stroll in the water, while a few families with young ones make sandcastles.The sand is the most wonderful hue of gold, and my toes sink into it with each step. I can smell the salty ocean in the distance, and the ocean itself looks clear blue and inviting.

Even though the sun is beating on my back, I'm grateful to be out in the sunshine instead of being confined to the walls of the lecture theater back on campus. I guess Tanner has a point that skipping can be healthy.

We soon find a spot to sit down, and Tanner lays out the blanket and pulls out some sandwiches, chips, and cheesecake from the picnic basket.

"This is an amazing surprise; thank you, Tanner."

He smiles. "So, are you glad I brought you here?"

"Absolutely!"

We spend the next thirty minutes eating and laughing and kissing as we bathe in the sun and enjoy each other's company.

Once we've finished eating, we stroll down to the ocean and walk on the edge of the waves. The cool water laps at my feet, fizzing and bubbling as it moves back and forth.

"Hmm, this is the life," I moan.

"You know, it'd be so much better if you go for a swim."

"I'm wearing a dress, and you're in jeans and a T-shirt; we'd be soaked."

"We could strip down to our underwear."

Though the thought of seeing Tanner in just his boxers gives me the chills, I could never be brave enough to let the other people on the beach see me in my thong and lace bra.

"Nah. I'm all right, thanks."

Tanner has a mischievous look on his face, and before I can run away, he picks me up and wades knee-deep into the water.

"Tanner, you're going to get my dress wet!" I squeal.

He just grins and walks deeper into the ocean with me clinging to his shoulders, afraid to get the seawater on me.

He has no care that his jeans are getting wet, but he'll pay for it later when he has to drive back home in them.

"Are you sure you don't want to dip your toe in?"

"I'm sure."

He laughs loudly. "Nope, wrong answer."

All of a sudden, Tanner chucks me in the air, and I crash with a huge splash in the water.

I immediately hold my breath as my weight takes me under, and I kick my legs about frantically to find the ground.

Once I can feel the ocean bed under me, I use my legs to push back up and take a huge gasp of fresh air when I escape the water's surface.

"Y-you are so dead!"

My dress is soaking wet, and it clings to me like a second skin. As I look down, I can see it shows the outline of my underwear for everyone to see.

Tanner stands in front of me, bent over with laughter.

Two can play that game!

I grab hold of his shoulders and push as hard as I can so that he goes flying backward and submerges under the water himself.

He's right; this is funny. I laugh as his misfortune until he emerges from the water and shakes the water from his hair.

Damn, he looks like a model doing that.

My mouth salivates from watching Tanner, and I dive on him and crush my lips against his. Tanner instantly fists his hand in my hair, and we stand there in the ocean with the waves rolling around us as we make out.

With the water now up to our stomachs, no one sees Tanner's hand creeping up my leg.

"Tanner!" I moan.

"Do you want me to touch you?" he asks seductively while he lathers my face with kisses.

Even though I know I should say no, the risk of being caught sends a thrill though me. "Okay."

His lips tug up. "You're gonna have to control staying quiet then if you don't want us to get caught."

At his warning, I clamp my mouth shut and bury my head in his chest so that to the rest of the world, it simply looks like we're embracing.

His hand skims delicately against the material of my panties before he moves them to the side and pushes a finger inside me. I bite down on my lip to prevent my moan from escaping and grip his T-shirt tightly with my hands.

"I'm gonna be fast, okay, Leah?"

Too afraid to speak without it coming out loud, I nod my head up and down, just as Tanner pushes a second finger inside me.

What do you think of Tanner whisking her away to the beach? Do you think Leah is changing because of him?
