"Sin and iniquity!"
intoned my Grandmother when I came out of my bedroom after changing. Grandma
was a relic of another era; well into her eighties. When she was my age, they
put on more clothes than they took off to go swimming! That or the men wore
those silly orange-and-white-striped union suits, with their handlebar
mustaches.
"And those things on your
feet," Grandma continued. "Flip-flops! What self-respecting person
wears a shoe that only holds on by being stuck between your toes like
that?"
"Aw, come on Grandma,
they're okay," I said. I'd picked a pair of green flip-flops because I had
a t-shirt the exact same shade. Pair those with my lemon-yellow swim trunks and
I was ready for a day at the beach. "Everyone on the beach is wearing this
stuff."
"If everyone went and jumped
off a bridge, would you?" Grandma pointed out with her skewed logic.
"They do, and I did, last
year, remember?" I pointed out. I had, with a cord around my legs,
naturally. Grandma just humphed her opinion of that.
"Hey, bungee-jumping!"
my dad put in; he had come out of his own bedroom. His clothes were a longer
version of mine: a short-sleeved shirt and shorts that came down to below his
knees, but he had on a pair of orange flip-flops.
"More flip-flops!"
Grandma zeroed in on those. "Bunch of foolishness, if you ask me."
"Why don't you go sign up
for the bingo games, Mom?" Dad said instead of challenging her opinions anymore.
"Gambling?!" Grandma
was scandalized.
"They give away the cards to
anyone who shows them a hotel key," Dad pointed out. "And you might
win a nice prize. The woman next door won a twenty-dollar gift certificate just
yesterday. Tell you what, I’ll take you and get you settled at bingo, and give
you some cab fare to get home afterward, and then I’ll meet Joe at the beach.
We’ll pick up a tan while you have a fun day playing bingo."
"Hmph," was Grandma’s
response. Grandma was always entering those drawings at the grocery store and
such. She seems to have figured that if she didn't pay for it directly, it
wasn't gambling, and quite enjoyed winning if she did. She agreed to play and
grumbled at my dad to hurry up and take her so she didn’t miss the first game.
So, while he did that, I went out
to enjoy the day on the beach. From the house on the island, it was a matter of
a short walk to two out of three local beaches. The first ended up being loaded
with families with little kids, so I made my way to the second one. That one
seemed to be even more popular than the first, with a huge crowd. I wasn't
really into spending my day tanning on a beach that was packed full of people
and little kids, so I ventured on to the third one, and was happy to find that
it was practically devoid of people, probably because it was more out of the
way than the other two.
I found a spot far away from
where the only other people on the beach - about a half dozen or so - were
spread out in the sand, and settled on my towel and began to work on applying the
suntan lotion.
I cursed under my breath when, a
few minutes later, a couple of guys came along and spread their towels only a
short distance away from me.
After finishing with the lotion,
before lying down to catch some rays, I looked over in their direction again,
and the two guys were kissing! More than that, the guy on the far side from me
had stuck his hand down the back of the trunks of the guy nearest to me, and
unless I missed my guess, he was trying to work one finger up the other guy's butt!
"Shit, is this a gay
beach?" I wondered aloud, in a sort-of low tone of voice, well, a
conversational tone if anyone had been right beside me.
"It sure is," came a
voice not far away from me on the other side.
I looked around to see a cute guy,
very blond, nicely muscled, and about five-foot-five inches tall, smiling down
at me. I thought all blond guys were tall, but not this one! Like any true
blond, his pale skin was more sun-burned than sun-tanned, a reddish tint to his
skin. But despite that, he only wore a pair of red swim trunks similar to mine.
Holy
fuck, I
thought, as the guy gave his crotch a squeeze while I drank in his body, Dad booked us onto an island with a gay
beach! And here I thought I'd be stuck holding yarn while Granny wound it
up for knitting! This vacation just got a whole lot better!
"Hello?" he said waving
his hand at me.
"Huh…" I said looking
up at his face. "Oh, sorry… yeah, I didn't know… that it was a gay beach."
"Well, now that you do, are
you going to leave?" he smiled at me.
"Um… no, not at all. I came
to this beach to work on my tan because it was less crowded than the other two,
and I still want to tan, so…" I replied.
"That's good…" he said,
"that you're going to stay," his smile broadening, and then, uninvited,
he lay his beach towel beside me and sat down on it, his leg touching mine. He
looked at me for a minute and then said, "I'm Scott."
"Joe," I said in
return, and he extended his hand and I shook it, awkwardly, my arm bent at an
irregular angle as we were side-by-side. When he let go, I watched his hand,
wondering if he'd try to put it on my thigh… or in my lap, and really kind of
hoping that he would.
Instead, he gestured around.
"Some of these guys are couples, but most of them are singles, just like
you and me," he said. "The cops know we aren't here to make any
trouble, and the locals know we all congregate here, and they like the money we
pump into their economy year-round, so they give us this place and stay away.
The water here is no good for swimming, anyway; full of sandbars and riptides,
and sometimes a dangerous undertow. Anyone into the beach for swimming goes to one
of the other two… which leaves this beach for guys like you and me, you know,
guys who just want to work on their tan," he chuckled.
I chuckled as well, then,
pointing over to the two guys who were fooling around, asked, "What about
that? I know you said the cops don't bother people on this beach, but having
sex on a public beach? That can't be allowed, can it?"
"Yeah, totally. As I said,
the cops don't bother us, they know everything
that goes on here."
"Wow! So… how do you know if
someone is looking for sex, or is just here to get a tan?"
He gestured to my feet.
"Guys looking for sex on this beach wear flip-flops."
"Oh, uh, okay," I said.
I thought that was an odd code of sorts.
He went on, "Yeah, and if you are looking and a guy approaches who
you're not into, just give him a shake of the head and a wave of the hand, you
know," he did a shake-and-wave that said, no thanks, I don't want any,
"and he'll leave you alone."
"And what if you're not looking?"
"If you're taken or not
looking at all, you know, if you really are here to just work on your tan, then
you wear some other sort of footgear or go barefoot to show yourself
unavailable. So, if you're not looking then just take those off," he said
pointing at my flip-flops, "and hide them under your towel until you're
ready to leave."
I looked down at the green
flip-flops on my feet as he pointed at them, and then at his feet. He wore one
blue and one red. "Hey, your flip-flops don't match," I pointed out.
"Another little custom we
have here," he said, "Trophies."
"Trophies?"
"You have sex with a guy,
you take one of his flip-flops and give him one of yours. Then everyone knows
who got with who, and can ask one of the guys if the other was any good if they
want to get with him too.” He laughed and then continued, “And when you get
home, you can put all the mismatched flip-flops in a box or something and have
trophies of all your beach conquests."
"Oh," I said, laughing.
"So, you already got lucky once today, then?"
He waggled his foot with the blue
flip-flop; it was quite a bit bigger than the other one, which fit him
perfectly. "Yeah, that was Gregg. He's a big mother, like six-foot-five,
built like a football linebacker, and about as subtle as a chainsaw at five a.m.
He got here this morning and I was first on the spot and so I got to siphon off
his morning load. Gregg's got a lot of, uh, spunk, and energy, but not a lot of
tact. He sort of walks up and grabs you; which, when you're looking for that,
can be a lot of fun."
"I guess it can," I
said.
"You're still wearing your flip-flops,"
Scott pointed out after a slight pause in the conversation. "Does that
mean you're declaring yourself available?"
"Yeah, I guess I am," I
smiled over at him.
"Yeah? I thought you didn't
want to be at a gay beach?"
"I didn't say that," I
replied. "I just didn't know this was one."
"Oh, so when you said,
'Shit, is this a gay beach?' it was an exclamation of glee, not horror?"
he questioned with a smile on his face.
"Exactly!"
The smile on his face turned into
a grin and he said, "Well, just remember what I said to do if you are
looking but not interested in a guy who comes up to you," and this time
his hand did come in for a landing on my leg as he spoke the words.
I just nodded but didn't say a
word or make any attempt to stop him, as my cock sprang to life from his touch.
When I didn't rebuff his move, it
was clear that I was interested in having some fun with him and he slid his
hand up my leg, and then over my swim trunks until he found my cock.
