They decided to have dinner first in a small restaurant with a view over the ocean. It was a romantic setting, there was candlelight, soft music and delicious food, but they were quiet, again. Carmen had tried to make Shane talk about meeting her brother, but had given up, and was now playing with her food. Shane seemed to be more worried about Carmen’s situation, who had just lost an old friend, and kept asking questions about Maria.
‘So.. she was like your first girlfriend?’ Shane asked.
‘Oh no, no she was totally straight. And I never told her. You know that my first is Lucia Torres, right?’
‘Right,’ Shane nodded, ‘The one with the scary boyfriend. So how old were you when you had this crush on Maria?’
‘Fourteen. This tastes so good!,’ Carmen said, trying to change the subject as she pointed at her plate.
It bothered Carmen, because today she was supposed to take care of Shane, and to be there for her. But she hadn’t even got a chance to show Shane how much she wanted to do that. Instead she felt like she had only been a burden.
But I’m going to make it up to her later tonight, Carmen thought as she took another bite of her salad, smiling cheekily at the thought.

They strolled slowly over the beach together, holding hands. They looked up at the millions of stars covering the sky, all bright and twinkling. There was a warm breeze coming in from the ocean, and the water shined in the moonlight. Shane plopped down in the sand and pulled Carmen down with her on her lap. Carmen settled between Shane’s legs, and leant back against her chest, sighing contently. ‘Now this is nice, isn’t it?’ Carmen asked.
‘Hm-hm,’ Shane hummed in agreement, fishing a pack of cigarettes out of her breast pocket and shaking one out. She leaned in to teasingly nuzzle the sensitive spot below Carmen’s ear, ‘It really is.’
‘I told you so,’ Carmen said playfully, as she stood up. She bent over and rolled up the cuff to her jeans so she could put her feet in the water. She threw her heels with a nice bow over Shane’s head, who ducked anyways and flipped her the bird. Carmen giggled and walked a few steps into the water. It felt cold, but refreshing to her. She looked back at Shane who was just lighting her cigarette, as she watched Carmen’s moves closely with an amused look on her face. Carmen splashed around a little in the water. This was not enough for her, so she took off her jeans, and again threw them at Shane, and they landed in a heap in front of her feet. Carmen walked deeper into the water, shivering at the shock of the cold water on her thighs. Goosebumps appeared on her skin and her blouse was getting wet, but she didn’t care. She dipped herself in and out until she felt completely soaked, loving the feel of her hair sticking to her neck and her back. Knowing that Shane’s eyes were on her she turned around and walked back to Shane slowly, a sensuous smile playing out over her face. ‘Aren’t you going to come in?’ she asked.
‘Maybe once I finish my cigarette,’ Shane said.
Pretending to be offended, Carmen gasped, placing her hands on her hips. Knowing what she had to do, she reached behind her back and unclasped her bra. She slid the straps of her shoulders and took it off, without revealing one piece of skin.
‘You’d choose those filthy cigarettes over me?’ she asked, smiling triumphantly as she threw her bra in Shane’s direction. Shane reached out and caught it with her left hand, wiggling her eyebrows meaningfully. Carmen giggled and stopped a few feet away from Shane, her smile fading away and leaving a serious expression in turn.
The thought of Shane watching her put an excitement into this she hadn’t known before. She smiled and slid her hands down her neck and over breasts, down her waist and thighs.
‘Now.. would you?’ she repeated her question slowly.
Shane watched quietly, in amazement, taking a long drag of her cigarette, but not even taking the time to blink. She willed herself to wait for Carmen’s next move, instead of getting up herself to grab her woman and fuck her brains out right there, right now.
Carmen began to unbutton her blouse, slowly on purpose, first the top button, then the next.. all the while smiling mischievously and her eyes twinkling with amusement. She saw that she was making Shane smile and happy and that encouraged her into going further. She took another step in Shane’s direction, now completely out of the water, and slid the blouse off her shoulders. She kneeled down in the sand, between Shane’s parted legs, who flicked her cigarette aside. Shane raised a hand to her face, fingers brushing over her cheeks and pulling the wet strands of hair out of her eyes. She leaned in to close the small distance between their lips, but Carmen drew back slightly, exhaling a shallow pant as Shane cupped her breasts, her already hard nipples pressing against the palms of Shane’s hands. When Carmen leaned back for the second time, Shane moaned softly in frustration, causing Carmen to chuckle.
‘I would never choose anything over you,’ Shane finally said. Satisfied with Shane’s answer, Carmen kissed her, parting her lips to invite Shane’s tongue into the warmth of her mouth. She started unbuttoning Shane’s button-down shirt, her lips leaving Shane’s mouth and kissing down her neck. Shane’s hands smoothed over Carmen’s bare back, her fingers pressing hard into soft, bronzed skin as Carmen took her nipple in her mouth and circled it with her tongue. Shane took in a sharp breath hands moving down to Carmen’s ass, tugging to get her panties off. Carmen drew back slightly and stopped Shane with her hand flat between her breasts.
‘Lie down,’ Carmen whispered, gently pushing Shane back until the back of her head touched the sand. Shane gazed up quietly at Carmen, watching as Carmen moved over her and began to kiss her lips, her neck, her breasts, each kiss tenderly following the last, down to her bellybutton. She unzipped Shane’s jeans and yanked them off, along with her panties, leaving Shane completely nude. She braced herself on her arms as she hovered over Shane, tongue flicking over her hipbone. She paused and looked up at Shane, who was shivering underneath her, silently begging to be touched.
‘You okay?’ Carmen asked, an inerasable smile plastered on her face, as she teasingly licked her way up Shane’s inner thigh.
Shane moaned and bucked her hips up, hands clutching fistfuls of sand. She opened her eyes and nodded, quickly wetting her lips with the tip of her tongue.
‘Good.. ‘Cause I’m going to make you feel even better,’ Carmen whispered seductively..
