Accident Prone 118 Long swim to the beach

"Sorry, the currents are too strong, I was unable to get it.", Max lied with a straight face when he resurfaced.

Liz's expression showed how distressed she is. "How am I going to get out of the water?"

"Don't worry. I will carry you on my back.", he already got it all planned. Well, he would rather hold her from the front, but he will start from this idea and work his way up.

Liz imagined her two girls being squished on his back so that others don't see them, and her face exploded in a fierce blush. What kind of a solution is that? Does she need to press her bare breasts on him? The cliff jumping is horrible! She will never do it again!

Max was amused by the variety of expressions on Liz's face. He approached her. "Are you shy?"

Liz was startled. Why is Max so close? She glanced down, overly aware that other than a flimsy bikini bottom, she has nothing else covering her. Oh, God! She got lower in the water, leaving only her eyes above the surface.

"You still remember that I am your boyfriend, right? Being topless is not a big thing. Look at me." Max gestured toward his chest.

Liz narrowed her eyes at him and lifted her head above water so that she can respond. "How can that be the same?"

Max smirked and was about to tease her, when another whistle sound was heard from the top of the cliff, reminding them to move.

Max tilted his head toward the direction of the beach. "I want to keep you in my sight."

Liz understood that if she is behind Max, he will turn often to check where she is, so she needs to start swimming. She sighed in resignation and forced her arms and legs to move.

The beach is not far away and normally it should not take more than few minutes to reach it, but Liz hoped that by the time they reach the beach, she will find an acceptable solution. Maybe she can stay in the water until the evening, and when everyone leaves she will dash for the locker where her clothes are? Ah, it's not even lunch time! With so much time in the water, her skin will be all wrinkled up and she will look like a giant prune by then. She needs to come up with something else…

They swam at the pace of the snail.

Max saw that Liz is slowing down gradually, and he had no desire to rush her. He can do this all day.

Liz's eyes widened in horror when a splashing sound came from behind. Oh, no! It's the next jumper, and he is coming their way!

"Liz…", Max called. "Someone is…"

Max paused and swallowed hard when Liz clung onto him like a koala with her arms around his neck, and her legs wrapped around his waist.

Max guessed that Liz is holding onto him like this in order not to obstruct his arms and legs, so that he can stay afloat, but this position is too arousing especially because he can feel her soft breasts on his firm chest.

The current situation reminded Max of the incident in the riding club when Liz ended up on top of him. At that time, he wondered how this would feel and he is not disappointed. They sleep together and hold each other, but there is always a pesky fabric between them. And also, Elizabeth is always sideways, not like this… facing him straight… with her legs around his waist. Ah, how he wished that they are not in these deep waters because having something solid around to steady their bodies would be very handy.

Liz felt her face burning, a sure sign that she is blushing profusely. However, she can't allow some stranger to see her topless no matter how embarrassing the current position is.

She jolted when she felt Max's palms move over her back and then tips of his fingers trailed her sides down to her waist and then back up. Ah, for a moment she thought that he will tug on a string of her bikini and remove her bottom. Liz was not sure if she is disappointed or not because he didn't reach for her bikini.

"What are you doing?", Liz whispered close to his ear while avoiding to look toward the young man who just swam past them in the direction of the beach.

"Memorizing the shape of you.", his husky voice responded.

Liz inhaled a choppy breath when his palms brushed the outer sides of her breasts.

Max smiled when he confirmed that she didn't move away. He hoped that she might press herself tighter, but she didn't do that either.  

"Elizabeth…", Max called and nudged her head with his, urging her to move so that he can see her face which is stuck to his neck.

"What?"

"Are you OK?"

"Does it look like I am OK?", Liz answered with a question and lifted her head.

She was not sure if he is smiling to comfort her or to tease her, but she glanced at his lips and she wished to kiss him. And she did.

Liz's fingers laced into Max's wet hair and it started with a salty taste of the ocean but a second later Max's flavors filler her mouth. Delicious.

Without separating their lips, Liz inched away to readjust her body slightly, and the cold water seeped between them, making her aware of their own heat.

A soft moan escaped her when she felt his swelling at the cradle of her thighs, and her body moved per instinct slightly lower, so that she can feel him better, positioning herself just right.

Max inhaled sharply and his grip on Liz tightened. He chanted silently in his mind that he needs to stay present because they are in the water and he is the one in charge of keeping them afloat. But it is difficult to focus because her taste is intoxicating and she is making his mind drift closer to the flames of lust with every move she makes.

When he deepened the kiss for the first time, it was a bit clumsy and sloppy, but Liz is a fast learner and other than mastering everything he showed her so far, she is coming up with variations of her own. She is amazing. 

"Why are you still here?", Hunter's voice came from behind Max and it made them break the kiss.

Hunter knows that Max is many things, but a slow swimmer is not one of them. A vast collection of medals and trophies from his high school and college days are a testament that Max is doing very well in the water and under it. And if Liz needs a boost, Max can give her a ride without slowing down.

Hunter saw them kissing and he is not the one to interrupt, but if they want to fool around in the water, they should go in the lagoon and not here next to the cliff where currents are unpredictable. Also, the water is deep, it's not like they can do much more than kissing without risking to drown.

"What's up with you?", Mia asked Liz when she noticed that Liz went almost completely under water, leaving above the surface her eyes and nose. Mia wondered if Liz is silently scolding her for the interruption. Ah, it seems that Liz and Max are progressing faster than Mia thought.

Liz glanced at Max unsure how to react. His erection is pressing just below her navel. Should she move up and risk exposing her bare breasts, or stay like this? Going lower is not an option and she does not want to move away.

Max cleared his throat and responded: "Her top came off." He gestured toward the area where they jumped in, indicating that it's gone.

"Oh…", Mia thought how losing a top is not funny but seeing Liz like this… it's funny. So, they were holding onto each other and kissing, both topless? However, she can't laugh because friend is in a predicament and teasing Liz would not be the right thing to do.

"If we are in Europe, you could just stay like that. They don't pay attention to topless women.", Mia tried to comfort Liz before asking: "What's the plan? Do you have any?"

Max glanced at Liz who was still holding onto him while hiding underwater and answered in her place: "I will cover for her. If you two can go ahead and meet us by the water with a towel, that would be great."

Hunter and Mia agreed and swam in front of them.

"You will cover for me?", Liz asked Max when Hunter and Mia were out of the earshot.

Max smiled. "Who will cover for you if not me?"

"Thanks."

"Don't worry about it. You are my girlfriend and I will not allow anyone to see parts of you which are only for me to see.", Max said smugly, and his smile widened when he saw that Liz blushed again.    

Max and Liz were close to the beach, in the neck-deep water (for Liz), when Max told Liz: "Come here."

Liz glanced at Max and hesitated. There are people around. Well, none of them is close but they are in visible range.

Max tried guessing what all is making Liz uncomfortable. "Come on. You are sticking to me every night and considering what we did few minutes ago, this will be… less enticing. I promise that I will keep my posture so that no one can see a thing. Look, Mia is on the shore, waving a towel impatiently." He inched closer to her. "Or do I need to melt your reluctance with a kiss?"

Liz swiftly clung onto Max while telling herself not to overthink it. They are dating, both grownups, and she is in a predicament and he said that he will help her out and she trusts him. Liz tightened her hold around Max's neck and lifted her legs around his waist.

Max inhaled more than necessary when he felt Liz's heat and softness press on his front but what hit him harder than the amazing feeling of topless Elizabeth is that she showed that she trusts him. She really trusts him, and he allowed his mischievous side for that one moment to take over and he let go of her bikini top. Max swore to himself that Liz will never find out that he 'lost' her bikini top on purpose.
