You write the story?

[Denny Bear]

A while back our Lovely Ms. Kianna came up with the idea to post a story and then let each person add a few lines to it to see how it progressed. I for one really enjoyed doing it as I think a few others did also so I thought why not try it again. So with Ms. K’s permission I will post this as seed stock to see what you folks can add to it. Have fun.

Ben​

Although he was in Florida it seemed colder then normal making him wish he had brought a sweater. Ben loved to spend his late evenings walking barefoot on the beach and did so regularly until two weeks ago when he and Steven broke up. They would spend hours on the beach in the moon light watching the surf come in. Occasionally they would see the distant lights of a ship passing over the horizon. They would sit and talk about where it could possibly be heading. But tonight Ben was alone, alone except for the other people on the beach. Most of which were cuddling with their partners against the brisk night air, making Ben feel all the more alone. Suddenly a voice broke the darkness, “you look a bit cold tonight” Ben was shocked and jumped back as he had not seen the young man sitting in the dark next to a large rock.

Ben turned to look at the man, dimly lit by a distant street light. He saw the young man, too, wore no coat. Instead he was dressed in a form fitting t-shirt, hinting at a muscular body underneath. "Not as cold as you must be," Ben replied.

"This is warm for me. I'm used to water temperatures a good deal colder than this," said the man.

While puzzled by the answer, as Ben approached the young man he became even more confused. On the bottom edge of the young man's beach blond hair, right below his ear, there were layers of skin, flaps that looked for all the world like gills.

 

[Ms. Kianna]

Ben shook his head and wondered if he was losing his mind. When he cleared the blurriness of the unshed tears from his eyes, he realized that what he thought were gills, was in fact a tattoo.

"That is a strange place for a tattoo," Ben said to the mystery man.

"I get a lot of comments about it," sighed the stranger, "but, as an 18 year old, just entering the Navy Seals, it made perfect sense. I was stationed on the west coast, where the water is much colder, but Florida is my home. Why are you wandering the beach all alone, on such a beautiful night, that is so obviously meant to be shared?"

"I just broke up. I just broke up, uh, with my girl, and..."

The sailor's expression changed subtly and his eyes dulled in the moonlight. "Man, I'm sorry about that". His hands went into his pockets. "Really tough. But you don't need a lot of dumb questions from someone you don't know." He took a couple of steps backward and turned into the shadows. "Take care dude."

"Hey," said Ben. "Hey, no, stay. Really. I uh....".

The sailor stopped and looked back at Ben, visibly deciding whether to stay or go. "When did that go down man? When did she..."

"Yeah, almost two weeks ago," Ben murmured, grateful, glancing at the sailor's shadowed face, the gills tattooed his neck. "Like I don't know why it even happened. He, I mean she, just..." His voice trailed off miserably. The sailor was silent. He looked into the darkness, miles down the beach at the lights on the pier. And then down at his own bare feet in the sand.

"So it was a guy. Right?"

 

[rrhill]

Ben's face turned red like a tomato. "If only it was that simple. She never told me about her operation... uh, he. Everything felt and looked so real..."

Now he said it! And it felt good to let out the truth to this stranger.

The sailor kicked some sand in the air. "Did you ever tried it with a guy?"

Ben looked more closely at the handsome young sailor sitting on the rock, and for a moment as the moonlight captured the contours of his face, it reminded him of his ex Steven. Yes the sailor was younger and more muscular but had the same twinkle in his eyes, and a similar smile.

The handsome young sailor then looked directly in Ben's eyes and could see the look of recognition and the look of lust in Ben's face. The sailor moved closer to Ben, and told him that he was lonely too, and could use some companionship.....

"Sure. Yeah, that would be great," said the boy. "I'm Ben," holding out his hand.

"My name's Guilford, but everyone calls me Gil," said the sailor, smiling for the first time.

They shook hands and clapped each other on the shoulder. And then took it into a hug, both boys grateful past words for the warmth of another person. The hug began to last past a simple hello and required some shifting of posture to keep it going comfortably. As they continued to embrace silently their knees touched, and thighs. Bit by bit they aligned themselves frontally moving subtly to get themselves as close to each other as they could.

There was an intake of breath as their groins met, and everything stopped for a moment.

Then it began again, delicately, each guy seducing the other with lips and tongue, carefully, gently, slowly, the fire in their dicks belied by the sweetness of their kisses.

an aside to Slim

"My name's Guilford, but everyone calls me Gil," said the sailor, smiling for the first time.

I read that line a few minutes ago, Slim and I'm still chuckling over it. Only you would come up with Guilford.

 

[slimvintage]

Yeah, but it was spoiled by the continuity fluff. Gill-ford had already smiled in your vignette, reminding Ben of Steven the sexchange, so his "smiling for the first time" as Guilford was a non sequitur. Sorry.

But when you chuckle, I chuckle--so that's what I'm doing now mister hunk-bundle.

The kiss turned hot and they both withdrew slightly, catching their breath. Then, Gil leaned into Ben again and kissed him on the neck then, almost in a whisper, "I've only fooled around a little with a couple of guys, but as I watched you approach, I knew I wanted to try it with you."
With that, they each took a breath and kissed again, long and hard, their faces turning one way, then the other. Gil held Ben tightly in his arms as Ben ran his hands down the lean hard body. The heat they exuded had magically dissipated the coolness of the night, and for a few more minutes, they were as one.
