I nod. “Best picnic lunch ever.”
Anderson sighs pleasantly. “I can’t believe that was my first threesome.”
“Mine, too,” I state as fond memories of the encounter play in my mind.
Anderson suddenly elbows me. “Hey, I think we are being watched.”
I glance over and see a shapely woman with a wide-brimmed hat smiling at us farther down the beach. When I meet her gaze, she waves for us to join her.
Anderson throws on his cowboy hat before waving back, muttering under his breath, “Do you think she likes chocolate sauce?”
Three-way Tie
“Ma’am,” Anderson says respectfully, tipping his hat before joining the woman on her towel. I sit down beside her and notice she lowers her eyes momentarily in response to my proximity. It is a subconscious sign of respect.
“I know this seems awful forward of me, but when I saw you two men walking on the beach…” She turns to Anderson. “…you in your sexy black hat…” She then turns to me. “…and you in those gray sweatpants. Well, you both had my attention.”
The woman’s emerald eyes light up when she adds, “Then I watched you strip down to your swim trunks and I saw the rest of you…” She wipes a tear from her eye. “Pure perfection.”
Anderson immediately accepts her compliment with his easy charm, “Anything to please a lady.”
“Consider me very pleased,” she announces, holding out her hand in greeting. “Mister…?”
“Anderson,” he answers, raising her hand to his lips. “But you can call me Brad, darlin’.”
“Oh, my! You just made me swoon.”
Turning her attention to me, she bites her lip teasingly and confesses, “I want you to know I’ve never done anything like this before. I just…” She lowers her eyes again. “I’ve spent my whole life playing it safe. But I’m fifty-five now.”
She looks up to meet my gaze again. “Today’s my birthday, actually. And I made myself a promise not to spend another minute holding back and wondering what I’ve missed.”
I raise an eyebrow. “And what have you missed?”
A pleasant blush colors her cheeks. “Well, for starters, I’m wearing a bikini today. I haven’t worn one since I was a teenager. But, I thought why not? You only live once, right?”
I glance appreciatively at the flattering coral color of her bikini which contrasts beautifully with her tan. The outfit accentuates her impressive cleavage and curvy figure. “An excellent decision.”
“I second that,” Anderson adds.
“What else have you missed?” I ask encouragingly.
She glances down again. “I came to the beach by myself today because all of my friends canceled on me. Normally, I would have just stayed home…” She glances up again, her eyes flashing with spirited defiance, “…but this is my birthday, dang it!”
“Happy birthday, little lady,” Anderson murmurs seductively.
She blushes. “Aww…thank you, Brad.”
She is all smiles when she turns to me, then she suddenly looks bereft. “How rude of me! I haven’t even asked your name yet.”
“You can call me Sir Davis.”
She raises her eyebrows. “Sir Davis? Oh, I like that…makes you sound all royal or something.”
I chuckle, enjoying her childlike openness. “And your name is?”
“Vivian. Vivian Rose.”
“Vivian Rose,” I repeat in a low voice, appreciating the way it rolls off my tongue.
