couldnt have her, Marlena from Holland looked surprisingly good
without her clothes on. Geez, it had been a while since I had last been
with a woman, and I had previously been too messed up over Charly
to really look at the volunteer girls. And lookat the volunteer girls!
My Godsome of them looked beautiful in the moonlight.
Shimmering bodies with dancing breasts, celebrating the full blush of
youth and life. I followed Greta who was now swimming away from
the group. She was a good swimmer, too, because I had to yell for her
to stop.
Yes, what is it? she said, bobbing in the surf. She put her arms
out, but for some reason I couldnt let myself too close to her. I didnt
know what to say. It had been so long since I had to make a move on

gently wrapped her legs around mine to keep herself afloat while she
ran her hands along my chest. We kissed gently, the slippery, salty
taste of sea water on her lips and her tongue and her neck. I could
hear some of the volunteers yelling catcalls at us, and we laughed
embarrassedly but didnt stop. I felt liquid. I felt as if she and I and
all the water in the ocean could just melt together into a warm,
wonderful, fleshy soup. I entered her, though I didnt mean to, and
she gasped as if to say no, but it fit beautifully and felt wonderful and
we didnt stop. She held onto my neck as she repeatedly pressed her
beautifully sculpted body onto mine, holding her cheek against my
