slight breeze was coming off
the water but still really warm for October in Southern Cali.   Romeo and Reggie were
in their own world as they took turns putting sunscreen on themselves and each
other. Then Reggie connected her phone to the speakers we had brought with us.
Katy Perry ’ s “ Dark Horse ” filled the air as I finished putting lotion on the front of
my body. Flint came up behind me silently asking me for the lotion. Once he had
a good amount in his palm he handed me back the bottle as he said in a deep
voice, “ Turn around. ” I did as I was told. The anticipation built as I waited for
his hands on me. My favorite part of the song echoed through the speakers.
    “ Are you ready for,
Ready for, A perfect storm, Perfect storm, Cause once you're mine, Once you're
mine, There's no goin' back. ”
    Sing it Katy Perry! I
jumped as Flint ran a cold, lotion-filled finger from my neck down my spine
only lifting it to pass over my bathing suit and then started again to my
bikini bottoms. Goosebumps followed his finger right before his other hand
smeared lotion across my shoulder blades then across my lower back. “ So cold, ” I murmured as I shivered. Both of his hands began to massage
my shoulder blades as he rubbed the lotion into my skin. I could feel Flint ’ s body heat against my
back as his breath skated across my neck. I laid my head back on his shoulder
enjoying the feel of his hands on my body. “ Feels good, ” I sighed as he moved
his hands to my lower back. As he finished Flint placed his hands on my hips
pulling my back to his front. His erection poked my ass as he kissed right
behind my ear.
    The squawk of a seagull pulled me from my Flint haze as I
looked around to find Reggie and Romeo at the water ’ s edge. Thank
goodness. I found that I could lose myself so quickly in everything Flint
and it scared me a little. The conversation with Reggie came back to me and I
had to remember it was just for the weekend. I shook my head to clear my desire
and get my thoughts back under control.
    “ What are you thinking
so hard about? ” Flint asked. “ You were so relaxed and now you are stiff as a board. ”
    “ Nothing really, ” I lied. The day could be perfect and I did not want to ruin
it, but Flint had to know that I knew about Monday. “ I know you are leaving
on Monday for a mission or whatever, ” I said rather quickly
to get it out there in the open.
    “ Romeo told Reggie. ” It was not a question but rather a statement of fact. I felt
his eyes on me so I just nodded as I stared at the horizon.
    “ You mad? ” I shook my head. “ You seem mad. ” Was I mad? I did not
think I was. Maybe a little hurt that Romeo told Reggie and Flint had kept his
mouth shut. Was he using me? Was I using him? I don ’ t know.
    “ Want me to put lotion
on your back? ” I asked, trying to change the subject. I turned to look at
him with a smile that probably looked more like a grimace on my face. We both
wore sunglasses hiding our eyes and whatever we were thinking, which was both
good and bad. Good for me so he could not see the hurt in my eyes and I could
downplay this conversation, but bad because I only saw myself reflected back as
I looked at him. Flint stared for another heartbeat before turning towards the
water.
    “ Sure, ” he said. I walked behind Flint and quickly applied lotion,
not nearly giving him the time or effort that he gave me.
    “ All set. ”
    “ Thanks. ”
    I dropped the lotion in my bag as I took a seat on the towel.
The strain between us was evident and I was kicking myself for causing it.
Something needed to be said before it ruined the day. We both said “ hey ” at the same time.
    “ You first, ” said Flint as he sat next to me. We were both staring out at
the water.
    “ I just wanted you to
know that I knew so that we can enjoy the weekend for what it is. ”
    “ And what is that? ”
    “ A good time, ” I said, turning to look at him, a hint of mischief in
