Free Star Fish by Nicola May

up. ‘I’m thirty, actually.’
    ‘Fantastic! So we’re both at our peaks, I reckon. Where did you say you were staying tonight?’
    He was a Gemini; hallelujah, we could sleep on the beach for all I cared!
    We decided to move on to Dreams nightclub after Charlie’s Bar. Katie and Ice Man had to leave – well, were asked to leave as Katie thought she was dancing on a table but she was actually dancing on a bouncer who had bent down to look for a missing handbag.
    Katie shouting across the dance floor ‘Go for your life, Ames!’ did not deter Tom.
    In fact, it inspired him to grab me firmly and press his lips to mine. Oh my God, what a kisser. I thought I was going to melt against his lips, so moist and warm, and then I suddenly felt something hard and cold! I was just about to scream when I realised that it was his tongue stud.
    Once I got the hang of it being there, I can honestly say I have never kissed anyone so sexy in my whole life. It was like some sort of tongue challenge; all I wanted to do was sort of suck it and kiss at the same time. He probably thought he was kissing a fish but I didn’t care.
    We practically ran back to Katie’s apartment. I pulled out the sofa bed in the lounge and started to rip my clothes off. Tom’s body was amazing. His muscles were really defined, accentuated by his golden tan. His skin was smooth and taut. I was quite scared that I might come just kissing him, so instead I started to kiss him from his toes upwards.
    He had a Questful penis, to be sure. He was standing proud and I just had to have him inside of me. I then teased him slightly by blowing on him until he pulled me towards him.
    ‘Amy, you are completely gorgeous. I want you so badly.’
    I felt so, so good. I was brown, I was wearing my best white lacy g-string and I had remembered to spray John Paul Gaultier in all the right places. I have to say my head was swimming slightly with all the tequila, but it was also feeling fuzzy with desire. I could hear the sound of the waves on the beach in the background. This was just so fantastic.
    ‘Shit – condom,’ Tom murmured.
    For some strange reason Katie had left a condom on the kitchen worktop. I had spotted it earlier and thought it must be fate that this was all so organised.
    ‘Quick, give it here. I have to have you right now.’ He tore open the gold wrapper and then started laughing heartily.
    ‘What’s up?’ I was quivering with desire now and in no mood for laughing.
    ‘Don’t think this will have quite the desired effect.’ He giggled as he held up a mosquito repellent tablet.
    ‘Shit, shit, how embarrassing. Sorry.’
    ‘It’s OK – we’ll just have to be careful.’
    ‘Let me just check in the bathroom first.’
    ‘Hurry up then.’
    I had a quick wee and rifled through Katie’s bathroom cabinet. Fate again – I found an in-date Durex and ran back into the lounge.
    ‘Drum roll, please. Tom and Amy can have it off right now!’
    No response.
    ‘Tom?’
    Tom was lying on his back snoring. I kissed his beautiful lips and then put my fingers under the covers so I could touch myself. I was so aroused and just had to come.
    I fantasised about Tom pushing hard into me against a rock on the beach and fell asleep feeling completely satisfied.
    ‘Amy, are you OK?’
    ‘Sorry, Carl. I blinked and came back to the present. So where’s this wedding then?’
    ‘Upstairs, actually. They are having a civil ceremony and the evening do here as well.’
    ‘Great, so what are we waiting for?’
    ‘I say that we have a cheeky glass of champagne and then go for a walk by the river as the wedding doesn’t start until three.’
    ‘Three!’ H and I had really rushed to make me look magnificent and I could have had an extra few hours to do so. Carl, the ever-sensitive Piscean, saw the look on my face. ‘Sorry if this isn’t OK with you, Amy. I just thought that it’s so cool by the river here and it would give us a chance to chat and get to know each
