Jeremy had made fun of her, telling her that she was wasting her time on internet surveys and contests even though she regularly traded in her points on survey sites for gift cards for both of them. The truth was that after a long day at the hospital, sometimes she just liked to decompress by doing something mindless like taking a survey that usually didn’t require anything more complicated than clicking a mouse a few times. Well, it had finally paid off in a big way. And Jeremy was not going to be involved. That douche.
She couldn’t wait to tell the girls. She called and told them the details as she walked around her apartment, throwing Jeremy’s things into a large trash bag. They’d moved into this apartment together only a few months ago, and she’d thought their relationship had finally been moving forward. Her mom had disapproved of their cohabitation, taking every chance she could to say, “Why buy the cow when he can get the milk for free?” Rina hated that line with a passion. She’d convinced herself that living together would only help Jeremy see that she deserved a ring on her finger.
She tied up the bag, sealing it tight. Jeremy had been remote and distant even before he’d left for his trip back home. He’d even seemed happy to be leaving, even though it wasn’t to go on a fun vacation. All the signs had been there but she had ignored them. She couldn’t face the possibility that maybe she’d failed, that maybe her mom had been right. Still though, that didn’t mean that there weren’t quality guys out there, or that she didn’t deserve to be with one. It just meant that Jeremy hadn’t been The One.
Jeremy was an asshat, but he’d been right about her knowing deep down that it hadn’t been working out. She just hadn’t wanted to admit it to herself. She shoved the trash bag deep into the recesses of her guest room closet as she said goodnight to Cely and Kris and hung up her phone. The trash bag tipped over, and when she went to pick it up, she stubbed her toe on something in the dark.
“Ow! What the…” She reached down to pick it up. It was her Magic Wand.
Jeremy had tried to get her to throw it away, and had always been pissy that she hadn’t. Nevermind that it had been a gift from one of her best friends, something that Rina had thought could spice up their sex life. He’d made it clear that her using it was something he considered cheating, even though he’d never been able to bring her to orgasm without her helping. He’d always been so basic in bed, rarely wanting to make love in any position but missionary. Not that she didn’t like it—missionary was great, but a little variety once in awhile would have been nice. She looked at the box, considering. Suddenly she remembered her fortune from dinner earlier.
“A pleasant surprise is in store for you tonight…in bed,” she said to herself with a grin. Finding out that she’d won a vacation package had been one hell of a pleasant surprise, but maybe she could make the ‘in bed’ version of her fortune come true. She hurried to her bedroom with her Magic Wand in hand.
Rina opened the box and removed the wand from the packaging. She plugged it into an outlet behind her nightstand, placing it on her bed as she undressed. She climbed into bed and picked up the wand, checking the weight. It was lighter than she thought it would be.
The wand had two speeds, and she started out on the low speed as she held it against her clit. It was pleasant, but she needed a release. She wanted to cum. The last time she’d had sex had been a week before Jeremy had left to go visit his mom, and she hadn’t even cum then since Jeremy had said he was ‘too tired’ after he’d gotten off. Funny how he’d had plenty of energy to fuck her until that point.
He’d always made excuses about why he had never been able to bring her to orgasm by himself. She needed a lot of stimulation in order to cum and Jeremy had always whined about certain positions being too uncomfortable to hold for longer than a minute, or how his hands would get tired, and so on. It was always something with him.
The worst had been when she’d wanted to 69 with him. Jeremy had said that it was too uncomfortable with her on top, but the height difference between them had made it impossible for her to be on the bottom. They’d only ever tried it once. He’d always acted like Rina should have felt grateful to be with him, like because she was bigger than the average woman she could only get a certain kind of guy. Jeremy had made it clear over the years that he was that guy, and that he’d settled for her.
Rina shook her head. She didn’t want to think about Jeremy anymore. He’d left her sexually frustrated for five years way too long and she deserved better.
She let her mind drift as she touched herself, imagining herself on vacation at the beach and meeting a hot guy, and fucking in the warm ocean water. She’d had sex in a pool a few times before, but never in the ocean so she often wondered how it compared.
She could feel her orgasm building deep inside her as she continued to tease her clit with the wand. She played with her tits, pinching her nipples and spread her legs wide as she ran the wand over her clit.
She switched the wand to high and came almost immediately, moaning into a pillow as her body shook.
As she drifted off to sleep, she hugged a pillow to her chest and realized she couldn’t wait to go on vacation with the girls. The last time they’d done that had been in college, long before she’d even started dating Jeremy. At the time, she’d believed they’d never be able to top that vacation due to her youth. She chuckled at how naive she’d been. At thirty-two, she knew that all of them were more mature, more experienced, and more comfortable in their own skins than they’d ever been in college. This was going to be the vacation of her dreams.
Chapter Four
Rina was finding out that maybe the all-expenses paid vacation of her dreams wasn’t everything it was cracked up to be.
Her travel coordinator had booked their flight through Bicoastal Air, which had a reputation for having some of the smallest seats in the airline industry. She’d asked about upgrading the seats and paying the difference themselves because they’d all agreed that it would be money well spent, but the travel coordinator had apologized and said that it wasn’t possible. Something to do with some rule in the fine print that Rina hadn’t read when she’d signed up for the contest in the first place. To be fair though, it’s not like she’d thought she’d really had a chance at winning.
The worst part was that the travel coordinator had been unable to get them three seats together. The best she’d been able to do was two next to each other, but the third seat was a middle seat. The girls had debated over who would take the seat for days. In the end, they’d left it up to chance, drawing cards. The low card was the loser and ‘won’ the middle seat, and Rina had gotten stuck with it. It had been the fair thing to do, but she knew that her body wouldn’t care about things like fairness once she sat down. At least the flight was only a couple of hours.
Rina hoped that her seatmates would be friendly, but she knew it’d be a crapshoot. She’d never flown Bicoastal before, but she’d seen plenty of advertising for the recent startup airline. “Fly Bicoastal…on a budget!” Well, it wasn’t her budget, so she couldn’t really complain. Mostly, anyway.
They were in line now, waiting to board. Cely and Kris’s seats were in row 16, and they quickly took their seats once they were on the plane. Rina had been right behind them. Cely and Kris gave her sympathetic nods, mouthing ‘good luck’ as she kept moving toward the rear of the plane. She was in row twenty-three, and the guy with the aisle seat was already in his chair. He had unlocked his tray table and was reading a newspaper on top of it.
“Hi, excuse me,” she said with a smile. “I’m in the seat next to you.”
The guy looked her up and down balefully, then sighed as he folded up his newspaper. He stood up slowly and stepped out into the aisle so she could move past him.
“Thanks,” she said as she awkwardly maneuvered into her seat. He hadn’t bothered to lock his tray table before moving so she’d had to hold it out of the way while sitting down. Geez, what’s his deal? she thought. There was no way anyone could have gotten into th
e middle and window seats without temporarily displacing the person seated in the aisle. There just wasn’t enough room. She stuffed her purse into the tiny space at her feet. She was glad she’d made the choice to check the rest of her luggage.
Rina could only find one half of her seat belt. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat as she looked for the other half with the seat belt clasp. It had fallen down in the space between the middle and window seats. She didn’t want to stick her hand down there if she could help it though, so she tried tugging on the strap, trying to coax the buckle out. It wouldn’t budge. Next to her, aisle guy cleared his throat to get her attention.
“They have seat belt extenders if you need one,” he said snottily. He must have thought Rina was struggling to fasten her belt.
Rina flushed. What the hell is this asshole’s problem? she thought. Besides, it’s not like he was rail thin himself. Cely and Kris had buckled up just fine, so she knew the belt would fit her since they were all around the same size.
“Thanks, but I think I’m fine,” she said. She’d managed to work the clasp out from between the seats and was adjusting the strap.
Aisle Guy scoffed. “You sure about that?”
Rina was about to tell him to mind his own damn business when a deep voice said, “I believe the lady already said she’s fine.”
She looked up into the aisle where the biggest guy she’d ever seen was standing holding a duffel bag. He was tall, with dark black hair cut into a neat crewcut and tan skin. He was muscular, but not bulky like a gym rat. More like a guy who had earned those muscles through hard manual labor, like working in construction or something similar. Rina was instantly attracted to him. She wished she’d been wearing something sexier than comfy travel clothes, but she knew she’d never see this guy again after this flight. She was surprised that she was more than a little disappointed at that thought.
Aisle guy wisely decided not to press the issue, opening his mouth in surprise, then closing it without saying a word. The hot guy placed his duffle bag in the overhead compartment and shut it firmly, making sure it was locked.
“I’m in the window seat,” he said. He’d been staring at Rina ever since he put his bag away, but aisle guy immediately hopped up to make room for him to pass, and Rina followed suit.
“Thanks,” he said as he brushed past her. Rina was acutely aware of her desire for him as his hard body just barely swept her breasts and thighs. She waited for him to settle into his seat, then took her seat again, buckling in when she sat down. She barely noticed aisle guy resuming his seat next to her.
Hot guy buckled his seatbelt after extending the clasp, and turned to her, extending his hand. “Hi. I’m Joven McCready.”
Rina had been playing it cool, fidgeting with a ring on her finger as she pretended like the hottest guy she’d ever seen wasn’t sitting right next to her.
She smiled and shook his hand. “Rina.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” he said. “Do you mind if I raise this up?” He pointed at the armrest between them.
Hell no I don’t! Rina thought to herself, but aloud she said, “Oh no, not at all,” with a smile. He thanked her and lifted up the armrest. Holy shit. Now their bodies were touching, and she couldn’t believe how good just that little amount of bodily contact felt. Maybe she just needed to get laid. It was more than that though. After all, she’d seen plenty of attractive men coming and going in the airport. She was definitely attracted to him specifically.
Joven shifted uncomfortably next to her and she hoped it wasn’t because she was crowding his space. Jeremy had always hated lifting up the armrests between them on flights and at the movies, saying she crowded him too much. She ran her palms along her thighs, attempting to smooth out the soft fabric where her black palazzo pants had bunched up.
“So, are you headed home?” Rina sought to distract herself with conversation. Maybe he’d say he was married or something, although she didn’t see a ring. He probably has a girlfriend, she thought. There was no way a guy this hot was unattached. Then she could be disappointed but stop fantasizing about joining the mile high club with him. If she knew he was taken, her brain could override her hormones. Maybe.
Joven nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been away for business for a few weeks, but I’m headed home now. What about you?”
Rina shook her head as Joven watched her shiny ponytail swing from side to side. “I’m actually going on vacation with my girlfriends,” she said. “I know it probably sounds crazy, but I won a contest and so we’re going to stay at the beach for a week.”
“A contest, huh?” Joven said. “You must be lucky.”
Rina giggled. “I don’t know about that,” she said. “My boyfriend broke up with me right before I won,” she said with a wry grin. She hoped that wouldn’t sound weird or psycho, but it was how things had happened and she wasn’t one to sugarcoat things. Plus she wanted Joven to know that she was single. Maybe he’d follow suit and let her know about his status, too.
“He’s a fucking idiot,” Joven growled and Rina blushed.
“Thanks,” she said awkwardly. She wasn’t sure where to go with the conversation from here. She didn’t want to talk more about Jeremy, but she didn’t want to look too desperate asking Joven if he was in a relationship or not. The overhead intercom went off just then.
“Cross check complete. Flight attendants please prepare the cabin for departure.” The flight attendants began going through the procedures listed on the back of the safety card in the back pocket of the seat in front of her as the plane began taxiing to the runway.
She yawned, then blinked, startled. “Excuse me,” she said. Joven just smiled at her. Rina had taken some Dramamine when she’d gotten to the airport. She hadn’t gotten sick while traveling since she was a kid, but she hadn’t wanted to take any chances. It was sort of a superstition at this point. Now she wished she’d skipped it. She hadn’t realized she was so sleepy. The flight attendants finished their safety review, and then dimmed the lights in the cabin. Rina didn’t want to pass out, but her body had other ideas. She fell sound asleep before takeoff.
Chapter Five
Joven couldn’t believe how turned on he was. He’d seen Rina waiting in line to board the plane, and had thought she was extremely attractive, with her sexy tanned skin and beautiful smile. He couldn’t believe his luck once he’d found his seat and realized she was his seatmate. His dick had been rock hard the moment he’d lifted up the armrest between them, feeling her sexy curves pressed up against him. He’d shifted in his seat, unable to get comfortable, but pleased when he saw that he was having the same effect on Rina. She was wearing layers of cotton clothing designed for comfortable travel but he could still smell her arousal. He wanted her. His animal said she was the one for him.
What a random twist of fate, he thought as he watched her sleep. He watched her impressive tits rise and fall with each breath. He wondered why she’d mentioned her ex-boyfriend. He didn’t have much experience with human women, finding most of them needlessly complicated. His impression of Rina from chatting with her was that she seemed down-to-earth though.
Joven was returning home from visiting an ally jaguar patch. The patch he’d visited had a female in charge, and Joven had gone to see if they’d be compatible enough to mate. That would have brought both areas together neatly. Both had suffered from declining numbers over the years and they’d been tasked by their respective members to resolve that or give up control.
The trip had been a disaster. Freya, the queen he’d met, had been pleasant enough, and physically attractive he supposed, although he liked his women with more curves. But his cat hadn’t wanted anything to do with her. He’d spent the entire trip feeling like his skin was crawling. Freya’s animal hadn’t wanted him, either. He’d planned on spending a month at her patch originally. But he’d cut the trip short once they realized their incompatibility. He didn’t like to waste time.
Next to him, Rina let out a soft moan. He recognized t
he scent of her arousal getting stronger. Was she having a sex dream? He hoped it was about him and realized with some surprise that he would be jealous if it was about someone else. He had it bad for her already. Joven had planned on taking a short catnap during the flight, but his uncomfortably stiff erection made it difficult to relax. He resigned himself to staying awake during the flight. Besides, this way he could watch over Rina.
***
Rina was walking on the beach next to the water. It was nighttime, but there was a full moon out and she had enough light to see shells and tangled piles of seaweed as she walked along the water’s edge. The air smelled of warmth and salt. As she looked down at her feet to avoid stepping on anything, she realized that she was naked. What was going on? She looked all around, but there was no one else in sight.
She decided to go for a swim, and began wading out into the water. It was warmer than she expected, and she soon relaxed, floating on her back looking up at the night sky. She heard a splash like someone had entered the water and she righted herself in the water, only to see…Joven? He swam over to her with a few powerful strokes.
“What are you doing here?” Rina asked.
“Hopefully you,” he said in a low growl that made her blush. She’d never been approached so shamelessly. That just didn’t happen. Rina decided to be bold.
“I think that can be arranged,” she said as she pressed her body against him. His lips were like fire as he pressed them to her throat and his dick was rock hard against her thigh. They bobbed in the water, Joven’s muscular arms holding her effortlessly afloat and she gasped with surprise as he pressed the tip of his dick against her cleft and found her opening. She wanted him inside her fully.
“Please fuck me, Joven,” she said. He lifted one of her legs and thrust into her fully, making her moan loudly with pleasure. He stared deep into her eyes as he slid in and out of her. They were golden, and looked like they were glowing in the moonlight. Rina could feel herself getting close to cumming already…
