The sand on the beach seemed to come to life beneath his feet, a warm malleable cushion. When I licked his chest, I could taste the blend of sun-warmed salt and him. His breath held the sea, with each exhale a whisper of a mermaid’s song as his sweat dripped down my chin into the salty waves. With one hand on the back of my head, I took him deeply in my mouth and felt my body shudder with pleasure.
