He laughed out loud as she flopped into the water and started bob around next to him. He splashed her playfully and dove under the waves to tickle her feet. The surf was calm, not that Galveston waves were ever much to speak of, but the undertow was particularly mild today. He swam with her, held her in the water, kissed her, slicked her hair back, and occasionally copped feels for the better part of an hour. When they were both mellowed, relaxed, and starving, he picked her up and started to carry her back to the house, leaning down so she could pick up her sarong while still in his arms.
The moment they were in the door, she could tell he had been anxious to get her out of the house earlier so that someone he had called could get into the beach house. The whole place looked freshly cleaned, and there were fresh tulips sitting on the living room coffee table with a large pepperoni pizza, which Nick promptly warmed up in the oven while Elsa got a chance to shower off some of the salt water. He was dry and curled up on the futon for her when she came back. They ate and watched a movie that she picked from the beach house's collection (either Nick liked movies, or felt compelled to provide a large selection for guests). He held her in his arms and whispered in her ear the whole time, making himself into quite a distraction.
As soon as she gave him the opening to do so, he invited her to retire for the evening. Naturally, there was a satin nightgown involved... the blue one from the mansion, Nick had really been specific in his directions, evidently. Once Elsa had slipped it on, Nick led her into the master bedroom. It was a large room, but didn't feel huge, just... open. There were rose petals everywhere and nice furniture, but by far the first thing anyone would notice was the view. The room was built into the corner of the house and both of the exterior walls seemed to be made entirely of glass. It literally felt like this room was sitting out on the beach, despite being 20 feet above the ground. The view from the futon was beautiful, but this felt like you were connected with the ocean. The sea breeze was blowing lightly into the room and the waves were clearly audible through several of the partially opened glass panes on the wall that most directly faced the water. None of the lights were on, but it didn't feel all that dark, even in the moonlight. She realized that the light in the room was dancing oddly along the floor, as if they were at the bottom of the swimming pool and the light was refracting through water. It felt interestingly like being in a bedroom that was underwater. When she looked up, she saw a large skylight... that had gently moving water in it, obviously to provide that very effect.
Nick had gone a little crazy with the decorating for the evening, as well. In addition to several arrangements of roses on every surface the room offered, there were rose petals covering the bedspread. As the evening progressed, and he took her to bed, it became clear there were rose petals in the sheets as well. He took his time with her, rubbing her back and kissing every inch of her skin that didn't send her into ticked convulsions (and a few that did). When he finally started to make more direct advances, he seemed determined to focus on wrapping them both in pleasure and love like warm blankets, starting by going down on her until he was almost exhausted. When she tried to protest that he was doing too much 'work', he warded her off with the look in his eyes. He was clearly loving every moment of the experience and would have felt denied if she didn't let him do the things he wanted to for her, and for him. When he finally took her, he was passionate and energetic, but making love to her, connecting with her (They had a very brief conversation about protection, which she was easily able to convince him to forget about). He had no idea how long it lasted, though he couldn't get enough, and even though he wasn't looking for his climax, it found him; he made special efforts, with his fingertips and his mouth applied to her breasts, to satisfy her before it overtook him. He held her close as they both slipped into a delightful afterglow that soon faded into loving sleep.
He awoke the next morning to find her still wrapped around him. He smiled and gently extricated himself, going to the kitchen to make her breakfast in bed. But the moment he got back in the bedroom, carrying a tray with strawberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast, a mini omelette, juice, milk, and a single rose, something came over him. The moment he saw her wearing only the bedspreads, he felt it. He wanted to wake her up in a very different way from what he had been planning. His breath fell heavy from him, and he started to panic at what he was about to do. He quickly set the tray down in the spot he had been sleeping and got out of the room. He was down on the beach before he knew where he was going or had realized he hadn't put on a stitch of clothing. He sat down in the sand and put his head between his knees, too sure of what he would do if given the opportunity to go back in the house to fetch something to wear.
