"How did I end up like this?"

     She was on the beach, in darkness except for the pale light
of a waning Moon.  It was a Caribbean beach, and it was the first
day of their vacation.  She was on her knees on a towel, her head
resting on her forearms.  
     
     Conscious of her nakedness, she thought, "There's only one
reason ever to be in this position . . . and I don't think I can stop."

      Elizabeth and Carter had shed the stress of the city, where
jobs, children and quotidian demands lay, when they unpacked their
bags in the resort that afternoon.  She had shed some of her
inhibitions too, choosing without his urging to wear to dinner the
backless (thus necessarily braless) sun dress she seldom wore in
public.

     The resort encouraged the guests to mingle, and had put
them at a table with another couple about their age.  They had hit it
off famously.  Tom and Mandy both worked in high pressure high
tech jobs, and were eager to be wild and naughty.  Their enthusiasm
was infectious, and the fruit drinks with little umbrellas had added
fuel to the fire.

     They had ended up on the beach, and with half hungry taunts
and dares, had shed their clothes to swim in the warm water. 
Afterward, they hadn't dressed as they made risque comments and
laughed at their own wit.  The women kidded the men about the
evidence of their interest in the proceedings, each secretly eying the
other's husband with the same intensity that the men eyed them.

     Suddenly Mandy was sucking Tom.  In an act that surprised
herself, Elizabeth took Carter in her mouth.  Even alone, in their own
bed, she seldom did that. When she looked across Carter's body at
Mandy, Mandy's head hid Tom, but the steady to and fro was quite
adequate to signal what was happening. Then, in almost dreamlike 
slow motion, Mandy turned toward her and stretched out her hand to
Carter's groin.  

     She drew his erection away from Elizabeth and engulfed it
with her own mouth.  Then she pushed it back to Elizabeth.  As the
women shared Carter, Elizabeth felt Carter's hand slide up between
her legs to finger her.  A gasp from Mandy suggested he had done
the same to her.

     In the dim light Elizabeth had seen Tom get up, but it was
still a shock to feel his fingers join Carter's in discovering the wet
evidence of her excitement.  It was another shock when Carter
withdrew without objection.

     Hands on her hips pulled her back, up on her haunches, head down
and back arched, then the fingers moved back to increase her
desire.  Then it wasn't fingers any more.
