TROPICAL SANDS
|
||
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Yesterday, the thoughts of another cold and bleak winter day
|
||
|
filled my head and today, those thoughts were only memories. In
|
||
|
just a few hours I would be sucking up sun and feeling sand
|
||
|
between my toes, running along virgin stretches of beach and
|
||
|
swimming among the corals of some tropical lagoon.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As the hands on my watch seemed to move more and more quickly, I
|
||
|
felt the excitement building inside me - not an entirely
|
||
|
unpleasant feeling, somewhat like having a jar of butterflies in
|
||
|
one's stomach. The images of a soon to be tanned body filled my
|
||
|
head. Not long now. What would be first on my list of things to
|
||
|
do? Perhaps a stroll along the beach, the water nipping at my
|
||
|
heels. Perhaps a trip into town to check out the locals. Maybe I
|
||
|
would just check in at the hotel and lie down, get rested and
|
||
|
then fall into that seemingly age-old routine - cruising. One
|
||
|
thing was for sure, the choice was mine, entirely mine.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Coffee, sir?", came a pleasant masculine voice.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes, please. Double cream, thanks", I replied, matching his
|
||
|
definitely friendly tone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"One coffee, double cream, coming right up!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
There was nothing but chuckling to be heard inside my head.
|
||
|
Straight guys can be so nice some times. Sigh!
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Sir...", he returned, "your coffee."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Thank you. I sure hope drinking this relaxes me a bit!", I
|
||
|
jested, half trying to start conversation and half knowing that
|
||
|
it would do me no good.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Can I bring you something else? Perhaps a sandwich?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
His tone was undeniably friendly, yet there was now evidence of
|
||
|
flight school training. It's all commerce and that was painfully
|
||
|
obvious now. I guess in the recesses of my mind, I really knew
|
||
|
that this guy was as straight as an arrow but there's always that
|
||
|
one hope, that one thin strand of thread, that one straw to
|
||
|
clutch on to. Every time I met someone new, there were always the
|
||
|
same thoughts filling my head. Is he? Is he? No. Probably not.
|
||
|
But maybe if I put my arm around him and get really chummy he
|
||
|
will crack, allowing me a glance at those well guarded feelings.
|
||
|
Then I shake my head and wrestle free of these puny thoughts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No thanks. The coffee will do me just fine", I said in a now
|
||
|
rather cooled voice. "How long before we land?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"About 15 minutes. The captain will be just now commencing final
|
||
|
approach. You should hear an announcement in a few moments."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Thanks."
|
||
|
|
||
|
His duty to me finished, he strolled further along the aisle. I
|
||
|
heard the same tone of voice as he asked a young woman if she'd
|
||
|
like some coffee. Amazingly enough, her eyes grew as she replied
|
||
|
with affirmative gestures. It was quite funny, but I knew that
|
||
|
she probably had more of a chance at him then I did anyway.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Just then, dull rumblings came from outside as the plane was
|
||
|
maneuvered into its landing stance. A burst of static filled the
|
||
|
cabin, shortly thereafter, waning to support the captain's voice.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain,
|
||
|
Elizabeth J. MacKenzie. On behalf of Can-Air and our crew, I
|
||
|
would like to thank you for flying with us. We are currently on
|
||
|
our final approach and will reach the terminal in about 10
|
||
|
minutes. Please refrain from smoking and remain seated until the
|
||
|
plane comes to a full stop. Have a pleasant holiday. Bonjour
|
||
|
mesdames et mesieurs...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
As the Captain's message continued in French, I craned to see the
|
||
|
island taking shape below us. It looked like a giant crab, claws
|
||
|
out-stretched into a sea of blue, more shades than I had ever
|
||
|
thought possible for water. Just below, I could see the airport,
|
||
|
with runways in several directions, some of them appearing to
|
||
|
pave themselves right off the island and into the water. I began
|
||
|
to compose myself and reached under the seat infront of me for my
|
||
|
carry on. It was then that I felt a little bump and heard the
|
||
|
planes engines whir into full reverse thrust, tires screaming at
|
||
|
the pavement.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Not long after, I had risen from my seat and was joining the
|
||
|
queue to leave the plane. A rush of air came past me; a welcomed
|
||
|
refreshment it was, moist and warm and as I examined it more, I
|
||
|
could almost taste the salt in it. Definitely, it was not the air
|
||
|
one would inhale in the dry southwestern Ontario I had left. The
|
||
|
queue swayed left and right as it snaked its way along to the
|
||
|
front of the plane. There, two of the stewardesses were
|
||
|
delivering their final programmed farewells.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When I finally reached the exit, and was properly greeted by the
|
||
|
crew, I descended the stairs, my head towards the sun I would
|
||
|
soon be worshipping. Everything was so bright. Sand everywhere,
|
||
|
like the whole place was just some big sand pit inviting everyone
|
||
|
to play in it. That's the feeling I got and from the smiles on
|
||
|
everyone's face, it was obvious that they felt the same. Play
|
||
|
time was here at long last.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It took a short time to clear customs. Thank goodness they had
|
||
|
not decided to personally inspect my baggage. I hate having
|
||
|
strangers invade my personal effects, and I could just picture
|
||
|
them holding up a pair of my under shorts and asking me where I
|
||
|
got them or something equally embarrassing.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A taxi rolled up. The driver popped out and rushed my bags into
|
||
|
the trunk then hurried without a breathe to open the door for me.
|
||
|
This placed was starting to get a little unbelieveable. I mean,
|
||
|
where in the hell can you go these days where a cabbie will open
|
||
|
the door to his cab for you? Especially if you are a man. Men
|
||
|
have always been expected to open their own doors, but it was
|
||
|
nice, just the same. I was definitely going to enjoy this
|
||
|
vacation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The driver was already back in place and pulling away from the
|
||
|
curb by the time I gotten seated, comfortable and turned my head
|
||
|
forward away from the concrete of the airport.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"The Sands Hotel please," I paused, then thinking about it a bit
|
||
|
more, "and...take the scenic route if you would."
|
||
|
|
||
|
This could be a chance to see the place, en route to the hotel
|
||
|
anyway. I wouldn't have to expend any energy and I was already
|
||
|
getting quite tired. Jet lag never hits you until you start
|
||
|
getting on in years.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Palm tree after palm tree, beach after beach, the road wound its
|
||
|
way up from the shore and into the densely forested hills. The
|
||
|
wind flowed through my hair making eddies that played tricks on
|
||
|
my spine. Every now and then, a chill ran down me from top to
|
||
|
bottom, just ever so slight a quiver, and I peered up then at the
|
||
|
sun reassuring myself that it was still there. Some sight-seeing
|
||
|
route, not much to see but sand, sky and dense, virgin jungle-
|
||
|
like vegetation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The car had slowed and turned to meet the approaching curb
|
||
|
near a rather ornate entrance way. As I poised to reach the door,
|
||
|
the doorman was there, opening it and inviting me out. He was a
|
||
|
hulk of a man, at least six feet three inches in height with a
|
||
|
mass of chest that could choke even the most aspiring of
|
||
|
bodybuilders. His hair was blonde, bleached by the constant sun,
|
||
|
and shoulder length, yet neat and well groomed, as was the rest
|
||
|
of him. His face was gorgeously bronzed, and as he smiled, the
|
||
|
contrasting white of his teeth added to an exquisite and quite
|
||
|
breath-taking view.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Maybe he would carry my bags to my room for me and come in for a
|
||
|
little drink or something. But the place was too ritzy to have
|
||
|
only a doorman, and once inside, bellhops rushed him for my
|
||
|
luggage. The smile fading from my face and my head filling with
|
||
|
impure thoughts, I watched as he turned and glided towards his
|
||
|
post. At least I'd had the foresight to glance at his name badge
|
||
|
- Perry.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The decor of the place was very elaborate yet welcoming to say
|
||
|
the least. The ceiling of the lobby was domed supporting a huge
|
||
|
chandelier and many intricate brass fixtures. The main desk was
|
||
|
wooden, and on a closer examination, I discovered it to be
|
||
|
cherry, and very, very expensive. The ends were capped with
|
||
|
leather, matching a very elegant porters chair off to one side.
|
||
|
Before I had a chance to ring the bell, there was already writing
|
||
|
going on and keys being pulled for me, setting the scenes for a
|
||
|
most definitely good stay.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The thoughts of lying down on the beach under the sun were more
|
||
|
than I could bear, tired as I was. Going back to the ocean side
|
||
|
would also allow me another look at that bull of a doorman. The
|
||
|
thought occurred to me to ask him down to the beach or maybe to
|
||
|
give me a tour of the island. I'm sure there are some very remote
|
||
|
spots I would be interested in seeing, especially with him!
|
||
|
But, alas, when I exited, I saw no sign of him. Perhaps he had
|
||
|
just finished his shift, or maybe he was helping yet another
|
||
|
guest to settle in.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The lure of the sun abated my quest and turned my thoughts to the
|
||
|
beckoning sandy white beach in back of the hotel. It was such a
|
||
|
gorgeous scene - even if it was quit void of men - with tall,
|
||
|
windswept palms, beautifully green tropical bushes and here and
|
||
|
there, a crest of grass along the dunes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The water was warm and inviting, so off went the t-shirt and down
|
||
|
came the shorts. I was knee deep in the surf and enjoying the sun
|
||
|
immensely before the feeling came that I was not alone. Looking
|
||
|
about I saw no one, but that feeling was there and irrevocable.
|
||
|
Well...if they want to gawk, let 'em. I'm here to have a great
|
||
|
time and that's what I am going to do.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The surf caught me off guard and a wave against my back swept me
|
||
|
over, face first into the sandy mud. I would have afforded much
|
||
|
energy to righting myself, but at the time it seemed unimportant,
|
||
|
and I simply rolled to my back. The water was shallow enough to
|
||
|
allow me to just lie there with an occasional effort to hold my
|
||
|
breathe for the big waves.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When I'd finally decided to look up and notice the surroundings
|
||
|
having fully gorged myself on the warmth of the sun and hugging
|
||
|
advances of each wave, I noticed a silhouetted figure in the
|
||
|
distance, sitting and set out against the dunes. From my vantage
|
||
|
it was not possible for me to discern just who it was, but the
|
||
|
figure was definitely male, and quite possibly good-looking.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enough. I raised myself from my watery bed, muscled up onto the
|
||
|
beach and grabbed for my towel. Sand filled my hand. Where once
|
||
|
was a towel, there was nothing but sand. In fact, my shorts and
|
||
|
t-shirt were gone also. When I looked about to see where they had
|
||
|
possibly gotten too, I saw that same figure set out against the
|
||
|
dunes, beckoning me closer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The wind ebbed and a wave came about my feet. As I walked I left
|
||
|
water-filled footprints in the warm, white sand. The man, and
|
||
|
indeed it was a man, became more and more shapely with every
|
||
|
step. Step after step after step and then, before I knew it, I
|
||
|
was running. And in the distance, this man grew stronger and
|
||
|
stronger with every detail I was willing to lend.
|
||
|
|
||
|
My shorts were there. My t-shirt, in a pile off to one side, was
|
||
|
draped with sand and my towel lay partly exposed under his
|
||
|
muscled, bronze physique. I tugged at it gently, hoping to
|
||
|
retrieve it and be on my way and also trying desperately to hope
|
||
|
for something more. Why had he taken my clothes in the first
|
||
|
place? They surely could not have blown here for the wind was not
|
||
|
strong at all.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The towel suddenly became unimportant to me and I dropped to my
|
||
|
knees at his side. He lay in a very awkward position, perhaps
|
||
|
a standing invitation to me to alleviate his predicament. I was
|
||
|
now convinced that my clothes had been deliberately taken and he
|
||
|
was my one and only suspect, caught red-handed with the evidence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The shade of the dune made an interesting bedroom and I wondered
|
||
|
at that moment just what I could expect. I took the time to give
|
||
|
more substance to his form.
|
||
|
|
||
|
His hair was golden blonde, falling down to his shoulders. And
|
||
|
oh, the shoulders, broad, each with a distinct array of muscle,
|
||
|
giving his back a definite butterfly shape. With a hand I wanted
|
||
|
to follow the curves of his back but I dared not. With eyes, I
|
||
|
went on, exploring the most intimate of places, right down to his
|
||
|
toes and then back up again for a second helping.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It was altogether too dim to see just who this guy was, after
|
||
|
all, he was rather face down and quite vulnerable. Sometime had
|
||
|
elapsed before I'd made any attempt at communicating, but it was
|
||
|
something that was imminent, and in a somewhat broken tone at
|
||
|
first, I began.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You didn't happen to notice how my clothes got here did you?
|
||
|
And, by the way, I believe that you are lying on my towel", the
|
||
|
raucous words being drowned and smoothed some by the pounding
|
||
|
surf.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Funny. I think I took them. They were just lying on the beach. I
|
||
|
didn't see anyone around. They're yours? Then you must want them
|
||
|
back, of course", came his reply, but with such coolness that the
|
||
|
words were anything but an elegant attempt at a line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well...maybe you didn't see me...but what the hell do you think
|
||
|
you're doing now, lying here in the middle of my clothes?" With
|
||
|
this I had made a definite attempt to make him fumble and quit
|
||
|
the little game.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I thought anyone could plainly see that I was masturbating," he
|
||
|
grumbled, gruffly, "but then, I can see that you aren't just
|
||
|
anyone." With that, he turned slightly, raising his head from his
|
||
|
arm rest, putting me in full view.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It was Perry. The thought of it made my heart pound and I was
|
||
|
sure that even he would hear over the surf. I felt a ball forming
|
||
|
in my throat and my mood became silly, like a school boy finding
|
||
|
girls for the first time. Only this was a man....no, more than
|
||
|
that, it was Perry.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Well, it was painfully obvious that he was of course gay. This
|
||
|
whole resort was gay in fact, and I couldn't see them making a
|
||
|
name for themselves in the resort business with an all straight
|
||
|
staff. Thank goodness they had at least that much foresight! And
|
||
|
then thank them again for hiring Perry.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He turned even further, revealing his wonderfully rippled
|
||
|
stomach, which was in itself an eye full, not to mention what lay
|
||
|
beneath. His bikini hung low in the front and from its border
|
||
|
protruded a rather nice sight. I'd caught him right in the middle
|
||
|
of something, something I wouldn't mind joining in on. Before I
|
||
|
could take another breathe, my stance changed from annoyed to one
|
||
|
conveying a little more passivity. A hand found its mark at my
|
||
|
shoulder and I pivoted forward to land on top of him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He rolled and I found myself peering up, over the line of his
|
||
|
well developed chest. I'd found his eyes after a momentary
|
||
|
distraction. Blue, of course, with a depth matching the waters of
|
||
|
the pounding surf, and as equally breathe-taking. I placed a hand
|
||
|
at his back, and began that journey, upon which, moments before,
|
||
|
only eyes were permitted. Now I grabbed at every inch of flesh,
|
||
|
letting gravity pull my hand down until it rested firmly on his
|
||
|
cheeks.
|
||
|
|
||
|
With an almost convulsive action, I grabbed a handful, with
|
||
|
immediate results from Perry. His head cocked back, like a gun
|
||
|
being readied for the firing, and with as much force, it came
|
||
|
down, finding my shoulder, his tongue finding an ear. I groaned.
|
||
|
The thoughts of him I'd had earlier in the day now became a game
|
||
|
plan and I wasn't about to let him miss bringing a single one to
|
||
|
life.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The towel, slightly moistened by the sweat of his bulk, filled my
|
||
|
face and I made every attempt to eat it. I was so enveloped in
|
||
|
the passion of the moment and my little mental pictures that I
|
||
|
could do little more than just lie there at his mercy. This did
|
||
|
not hinder him in the least. Immediately, he began my mental
|
||
|
task, taking ever effort to sew my imagined fabric with the most
|
||
|
intricate of threads.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The undulating of his body atop me was not unlike the warmth of
|
||
|
the pounding surf I had just left. Sweet kisses on my earlobe
|
||
|
made me scream with pleasure and I grabbed at his ass even more,
|
||
|
forcing him down on me with much co-operation. I knew in moments
|
||
|
that I would be far beyond any attempts at rhythm. He'd be making
|
||
|
the man out of me I'd hoped to become.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Without so much as a peep, I came, each spasm making me grab at
|
||
|
him more. With my stomach, I could feel the strength of his whole
|
||
|
body as it gently continued, heaving and arching. I felt one last
|
||
|
puff of breath in my ear and a tongue retreating, expecting some
|
||
|
sudden fury. Moments later, I felt new warmth at my stomach. I
|
||
|
could not contain my joy and moaned approvingly at Perry, whose
|
||
|
excitement had certainly peaked as well. I pulled him close, not
|
||
|
wanting to miss anything he was offering me then. I had him. All
|
||
|
of him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To say that it was not an exhausting experience would have been
|
||
|
foolish. It was something that was obvious to even the most inane
|
||
|
of observers, if there had been any. We just lay there, on the
|
||
|
sand, reassuring each other that everything was as fantastic as
|
||
|
we had each thought. I must be dreaming, then an arm out of
|
||
|
nowhere grabs me, I turn to see Perry, and the clouds disappear
|
||
|
instantly. No, I'm not dreaming!
|
||
|
|
||
|
Oh! And to think that this was only my first day. What a sin to
|
||
|
even think that. I was sure hoping it would not be my last day,
|
||
|
but in a sense, I didn't really care.
|
||
|
|
