PAIRING: Jay/Erika

2004

BEACH

Erika snuggled her head closer into Jay's muscular chest. The afternoon sun had warmed their damp and salty skin, as they lounged on the beach, bodies intertwined.

Ever since the day at the surf shop, when Erika was only thirteen, she knew that Jay was her soul mate. Now, seven years later, they were officially a couple. Jay ran his fingers through her long hair and gently placed a kiss on the nape of her neck. His hands drifted along her shoulders, exposing skin, as they moved along. His rough fingers brushed the side of her bikini top as they moved down and settled on her waist. His thumb rubbed small circles on the sensitive skin. She turned her head and placed a deep kiss on his tanned lips. Before things could get any hotter, Jay reluctantly pulled away glanced at his watch.

"I gotta get back to the shop!" Jay exclaimed. The sign on the small surf shop that Jay owned had read 'Out to Lunch' for the past two hours.

"What time is it?" Erika asked, shifting her position slightly, making Jay groan at the contact. "I have a lesson with Bradin at 1:30."

"It's one-fifteen." Realizing that they were both cutting it close, they quickly got up off the sand and exchanged one last lingering kiss.

"I'll see ya around 4 at my place?" Jay asked, winking.

"I can't wait." Erika grinned, swaying her bottom purposely.

The two lovebirds went off in thier separate directions, glancing back at one another, anticipating the heat of their next moments together.

Erika was on her surfboard, watching Bradin paddle to catch a wave. He had gotten really good in such a short period of time. After the wave had passed, Bradin paddled out to Erika.

"That was awesome, Kansas!" Erika smiled, giving Bradin a high five.

"Thanks." Bradin blushed. He secretly had a massive crush on Erika since he had met her.

"Okay, so the lesson's almost over. One more wave? I'll go with you." Erika instructed.

Bradin nodded as they caught sight of a good-sized wave. They both paddled to meet it. Bradin glanced over at Erika who had already mounted her board. He took her lead and hoisted himself into a standing position. They rode the wave all the way to the shore.

"Alright. See you tomorrow?" Erika said as she unzipped the top of her wetsuit and shook her hair.

"Yep. Tomorrow." Bradin smiled. He couldn't take his eyes off her. As Jay always said, she was definitely a beaut!

Erika smiled at him and walked away, heading to Jay's surf shop.

4:00 P.M

JAY'S PLACE

Jay was pacing around his room, making sure everything was in its place. He shoved some dirty clothes under his bed and put some of his belongings into a drawer. Jay sprayed come cologne onto himself and looked around the room.

"Perfect." Jay said to himself.

"It sure is." Erika smirked, leaning against the doorframe.

"Hey babe. How...How long have you been standing there?" Jay asked, clearly embarrassed.

"Long enough." Erika smiled and walked into the room, closing and locking the door behind her. "I was a bit early."

"I can see that," Jay answered. He wrapped his arms around her waist, embracing her in a deep, passionate kiss.

"You clean up pretty well, " Erika said, pointing to the boxers sticking out from under his bed.

"Not like you haven't seen those before," Jay said, laughing.

Before he could say another word, Erika pushed him onto the bed and dominated him. His button-down shirt quickly came off, exposing his tanned abs. Erika ran her soft hands up and down his torso, stopping at the waistband of his surf shorts. Jay reached behind Erika's back, releasing the clasp to her orange bikini top. The top was quickly tossed onto the floor. Jay took in her beauty like he had done the first time they were together like this. It had been Erika's first time ever. She smiled seductively and placed wet kisses down his neck, gently sucking on the sensitive skin. Jay groaned lightly and began fumbling with the button of her denim shorts. Jay finally got the button open, and Erika wriggled out of the shorts. Erika began to untie the laces of Jay's shorts agonizingly slow. It was making Jay crazy with desire. Her hands lingered for a moment, then came back up to his neck and brought him into a searing kiss. Soon their bare skin was touching and reacting to the feeling of skin on skin.
