talked enough for both of them as he made short work of the distance. If he didn’t know better he’d think Kathy was shy or playing hard to get, but he’d seen her in action Friday night and there was nothing shy about her then. Weird. Maybe she was just waiting to get him alone before putting the moves on him.
    Pulling the truck into one of the few remaining parking spaces at the beach, Ice cut the engine. The lot was almost full with vehicles of eager beachgoers intent on enjoying the unseasonably hot weather. Grabbing their gear, they made a beeline for the water.
    The heat haze shimmered off the sand as they snaked their way through the throng of people and brightly colored beach umbrellas decorating the shore. Finding a vacant patch, they dropped their gear, spread their towels, and started to undress in anticipation of a swim. The sky above was clear, sunrays reflected and danced off the water beckoning them into its cool depths.
    Ice eyed Liz as she stripped down to her skimpy black bikini. With hair the color of a sunset, vibrant red and textured with burnished gold, laughing green eyes, and slim build, she was certainly something to behold. That is until his gaze switched to Kathy.
    When she pulled off her shorts, he almost expired on the spot. The way her ass wiggled as she peeled them over her hips was almost his undoing. He could feel the blood shoot straight to his groin at the images it conjured.
    Curvaceous hips and full breasts accentuated the narrowness of her waist. Perfect. Every single inch of her. Her translucent peaches and cream complexion was flawless except for the smattering of freckles that dusted either side of her upturned nose and the little mole on the outer corner of her top lip.
    He couldn’t take his eyes from her, couldn’t get enough of her. Liz had noticed him staring and sent him a funny little smile, and he wondered if she’d caught on.

    Kathy discarded her shorts determined not to blush. Shane was blatantly undressing her with his eyes and not stopping at her swimsuit either. His eyes burned, she could feel their heat as she tugged the cotton top over her head and tossed it beside her shorts on the beach towel. It was silly to feel uncomfortable, but the slinky swimsuit fabric molded her body leaving little to the imagination and made her feel oddly self-conscious. It was bizarre. She wanted him to admire her, to be desirable in his eyes, but when she caught him doing just that, she looked away and heated to the roots of her chestnut hair. Thank God, Liz came to her rescue.
    “I brought the block out,” she cried holding it up. “Do me a favor Shane and put some on my back while I do Kathy’s.” Without waiting for his consent, Liz passed him the sunscreen.

    Ice rolled his eyes, she was a bossy little piece, but he took the tube anyway and applied the sunscreen to Liz’s bare skin without comment. When he’d finished, she took it back and squeezed a blob into her palm.
    “Now I’ll do you,” she said and began liberally rubbing it in circular motions into his back. “Can’t be too careful can we? What, with the holes in the ozone layer and all.”
    At any other time he would have enjoyed the lanky redhead’s hands all over him, but not since he’d laid eyes on Kathy.
    When Liz was done, she refocused her attention. “You’ve got a blotch of cream on your cheek Kathy.”
    “Allow me.” Leaning across, he rubbed the cream into Kathy’s soft skin in a caressing motion. The heat radiating from her drew his hand like a magnet. His thumb lingered circling her cheek, and as his eyes dropped to her breast, her nipples pebbled under his appreciative gaze.
    “Ah thanks,” Kathy murmured, crossing her arms.
    “Come on you guys let’s hit the waves,” Liz called as she ran toward the surf.
    The connection broke. Kathy took off after Liz, with him hot on her heels.
    He hit the ocean first, dived beneath the waves, and surfaced in deeper water about twenty feet
