Page 46 of The One That Got Away

Toogood.

It was firm, muscular and hot. In every sense of the word.

‘Damn,’ Max groaned.

‘Am I hurting you?’ I quickly removed my hands.

‘No.’ He shook his head. ‘I’d just forgotten how soft your hands are. Sorry. I hope that isn’t inappropriate.’

Fireworks erupted inside me. Max was enjoying me touching him. Not in a sexual way obviously, just… he liked my hands.

I continued moving my palms over Max’s back. Along the sides, down the middle and down to the base, skimming the tops of his swimming trunks, then back up across his shoulders.

The truth was, I could’ve finished the application of the sun lotion minutes ago, but I was enjoying this. Too much.

I continued running my hands over his back and was just about to squeeze more lotion onto my palms when I heard our names being called.

‘Stella! Max!’

I whipped my head round to see Jasmine standing beside us.

‘Oh, hey.’ Max turned to face her.

‘Nice to see you getting on so well. Are you practising for the couples massage, Stella?’

‘No.’ My cheeks flamed. ‘I was just… Max forgot to put on sun lotion, so I was just helping him out because he couldn’t reach his back.’

‘Mmm-hmmm,’ she said in a way that suggested she didn’t believe me. ‘I see. That’s good. I hope you’re going to return the favour, Max?’ Jasmine tilted her head, waiting for his response.

‘I, er, of course!’ Max stuttered.

‘Well, I’ll leave you to it!’ She turned on her heels and left.

‘So…’ Max said, his head still facing the pool. ‘All good with my back?’

‘Yeah. I think you’re all covered now.’

‘Want me to do you now?’

My lips parted and my horny vagina screamedyes, please.

‘My back?’ I clarified.

‘Yeah, sorry. That came out wrong.’

I was about to tell him that I’d already slathered myself with sun lotion before I put on my bikini, but stopped myself. Another application wouldn’t hurt. The more protection the better, right?

‘Thanks. That’d be great. Should I lie down or sit up?’

‘Up to you.’

If I lay down, at least I could bury my head in the towel and the bed and he wouldn’t see my reaction.

After taking off my cover-up dress, I lay face down.

I heard the cap of the lotion pop and the sound of Max’s palms rubbing together.

Even though I knew he was about to apply the lotion, when his hands made contact with my skin, I jumped.
