The Beach House

[The_gladiator]

He stood holding her swaying back and forth slightly his head coming down cheek resting on the top of her head. His hands rubbed gently at the tense muscles as they spasmed with her hiccupping sobs. His fingers slid through her hair. He slid his hands both down until they were at her waist. He began to lift her taking more of her wait his hands slid down to just below her ass silently urging her legs up around him. He knew he needed to carry her but didn’t want to break that human connection for her. He didn’t even think that this could look highly sexual as he urged her legs to rap around him his hands under her legs and ass supporting her as he carried her back through the door. He had an idea of something that might help. He set her on the countertop with the sink, and that is when he finally stepped back. With no word of explanation he stepped down into the large sunken tub and bent shoving the plug in place and turned on the tap. As the tub filled he stepped back to her his hands urging up her shirt, and that’s when he first spoke, “c’mon, off with it, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before.” He said teasing just a little, although he didn’t look. He could have as he reached behind her unfastening the bra, he could have taken a long look at her full breasts, and at any other time he most certainly would have done so. He slid his hands down her legs and began to pull off her sandals. He then lifted her back to the ground.
“Either I throw you in that tub with your shorts on, you take them off or I take them off, you decide.” He said stepping behind her his hands on her shoulder, “Either way you are going in that tub.” He said, his words gentle but somewhat firm. She was so tense, she needed to relax, or her sobs would send her into a full-fledged panic attack, he wasn’t totally sure she wasn’t already there.

Claire clung to Jake and let him hold her as her soul retched in pain and grief. She meekly let him carry her to the bathroom and still she cried her face burried in his shoulder. She sat were he placed her as the tears streamed down her face and stared absently at the wall as he began to fill the tub. When he came back and began undressing her she let moving slightly to help but mostly frozen in her internal pain. When it came time for her shorts she slipped off the counter but held on with both hands to support her now weak and shaking legs. She would let him tend to her now in her moment of weakness when never before had she had any comfort.

She didn’t worry about him seeing her naked after all he had already seen it. Her sobs had become silent tears now and she looked at him with eyes begging that he help her though the words would not pass her lips. She stood there barely steady as she gripped the counter and waited for him to remove her shorts. Over his shoulder she could see the bath looked inviting.

 

[The_gladiator]

Jake got no answer to his question but he didn’t need one, her eyes were soft, pleading, and he understood.

His hands slid softly down her waist to the front of her body, fingers slipping the button and letting her shorts fall away. Another push and her panties fell as well. He stood behind her again and scooped her up this time, one hand under her legs and the other behind her back, cradling her like a child. Jake was glad in that moment that even though she was curvy she didn’t weigh too terribly much. And also he was glad that he worked out and could lift more than his body weight. In fact one of his favorite exercises was pull ups so his forearms were strong even if not extremely bulk.

He tried not to look at the large abundant breasts just below his line of sight as he carried her. He took a couple of long strides to the large sunken tub and made a bit of a splash as he stepped right into the tub with her in his arms. He swayed for a second as he sought not to lose his balance in the water. “This is going to be so bad if I fall…” and even as he said this he slid down busting his ass on the bottom of the tub, water splashing everywhere. “… … ouch” he said after a long moment where his mouth was open with no sound. He had landed the water up over his waist, Clair still in his arms. Fortunately he’d taken the brunt of the fall, his holding her saving her from getting injured. “So… maybe I’m not the best at this.” He said somewhat sheepishly trying to figure out the best way to begin extracting himself from the situation. She was sitting in his lap, the water flowing over them both getting deeper by the second, and Jakes clothes grew even ore soaked as this happened. He couldn’t help being glad that he’d left his iPhone in his room rather than carrying it with him. “Are you ok?” he asked hoping she hadn’t been hurt by the fall.

 

[lmcms]

Claire sat there in his lap in shock that he had fallen in the tub. The realizing he was soaking wet now and still dressed with a naked her on his lap. She looked around as if she maybe waking up and took the scene in more before she began laughing. It strated out as a soft giggle and made it’s way into a full body laugh. She still rested her head on his shoulder.

“You know …… if you planned …… planned on taking ….. a bath too …. You should have …… have stripped first.” She said bewhile laughing so hard tears sprang to her eyes again but this time the tears were of laughter not of sorrow.

 

[The_gladiator]

When she started laughing Jake found himself laughing too, it was really too stupid of a situation and so awkward that he had to. “Come on… it was an accident.” He said laughing, “I was trying to be sweet… we saw how well that worked.” He grinned, “Now I sorta just look like a dork, and one who is now pretty wet.” He let his hand slide down her hair again along the smooth skin of her back as he shifted her in the water, gently setting her down in front of him figuring he should probably get out.

He stood up slowly water streaming from his sodden clothes, which were plastered to him outlining his muscular chest and stomach. The already tight shorts now outlined his cock which was semi hard in his shorts; he was human after all and had been holding a naked woman in his arms. It was now even with her eye level and Jake became aware of such and froze in the process of getting out staring down at her his eyes meeting hers. “Uh… guess I should get the rest of the way out, huh?” he finally said awkwardly his words breaking both the laughter moment and trying to break off the awkward standoff.

 

[lmcms]

She was still laughing until he set her aside and stood. She could see his hardening cock and slowly let her eyes travel up his body the laugher dying in her throat as her mouth became dry. She could tell he felt a little akward as well as she did sitting naked in the bathtub with a clothed and attractive male standing over her.

When he went to step out of the tub she wasn’t sure what came over her exactly but she reached for his hand her eyes never leaving his. “You could join me if you wanted you.” She whispered softly hoping he would do so.

Wanting him to join her in the tub had nothing to do with sex though the thought caused her core to heat, it was more to do with the intamcey she craved the intamcy and having him be in the bath, naked, with her was a very intamite thing but she wasn’t going to plead or seduce. He had to be comfortable with it.

“That is if you want.” She said her eyes staying on his to let him know there was no pressure.

 

[The_gladiator]

Jake let his eyes search her face even as he felt her hand take his. Hers were smaller than his, graceful. His hands were long fingered, more suited for the piano than the guitar which he typically played. Her skin was soft. He let his fingertips explore her skin as his eyes searched the depths of hers.

What was she asking, was it sexual? Or did she not just want to be alone? He was already in for a penny maybe he should just be in for the pound. He paused before he slowly pulled his hand away. “May as well, I’m already wet.” He said trying to use humor to defuse the tension that was both sexual and something more, just plain intensity. He slowly lifted his shirt over his head and then let his hands slide down his stomach to his pants. “This isn’t totally fare, you made me undress you and now I have to undress myself shouldn’t you be doing this?” he teased, “Well, maybe next time.” He said as he opened his pants. His remark had been flippant, but was it a hint? Did he want more such activities to happen?

Jake stepped out of the shorts and was left in just his briefs. The black cotton clung to his skin because it was very wet. It left little to the imagination, and as he pulled them down he wished he had turned his back for this part, because the constrained cock sprang free, not jumping to full attention but at least half way there.

Jake was blushing now as he threw the underwear onto his clothes and quickly sat back down, but not before he had grabbed a bottle of bubble bath, obviously intending on giving them some small amount of privacy, which was a little silly seeing as the tub was small enough that they would need to be touching in some way. They could sit beside one another or across from one another but either their hips would be touching or their legs intertwined, or as they had been before with her in his lap sideways to him. He shifted, unsure where to sit. Under the pressure of her being upset he hadn’t cared how he touched her, all he cared about was being there for her, but now his mind was definitely on how he should touch her, was it ok, where were the limits. He knew what to do if she was his lover, but, were their rules about acquaintances snuggling in a bath tub naked? Had anything like this ever been done before? And he thought Cheri rubbing his cock with her hand or foot through his pants was awkward, at least he had fabric between them. If Claire put her hand in the wrong place there would certainly be nothing between her touch and him.

 

[lmcms]

Claire watched and saw how nervous he was about his decision after the fact. She stayed where she was keep an eye on him. He seemed about to pop out of his skin he was so jumpy. Lightly she laid a hand on his arm to get his attention.

"There is nothing to be nervous about Jake. I look at it this way, we are two consenting adults who have both suffered in some way recently. You came to me when I needed comfort and I won't lie and say I don't need it anymore. But I'm not the only one who needs confort and I know that. There are no expectations on this it is just two people who share a wounded heart comforting each other." She told him still not moving not wanting to make him uncomfortable when all she really wanted to do was lay her head against his should and let the warm water cocoon their bodies as they held each other.

 

[The_gladiator]

Jake could feel the softness of her warm hand lying on his arm. “Yeah, but you’re not the one sitting mere inches away from an absolutely gorgeous woman who is completely naked, and who when she is not angry with me is pretty damned sexy, ok hell even mad at me you are hot.” He laughed but began to relax a little. He let himself sink more fully into the water his body pressing closer to her as he loosened his tight control that had been keeping them from touching.

She was right, he might be using humor to keep her at a distance but he was just as wounded as she was, just at this moment he was better at hiding it.

The bubbles joined the warmth of the water slowly obscuring his lower body from her sight blessedly hiding his cock from her view. He couldn’t help noticing as it began to play peekaboo with her breasts. He had seen them fully on display but somehow this was just as alluring in a different way, for it drew his attention made him want to look. He closed his eyes to take away the temptation. He wished he could find that peace and familiarity they’d had for that moment when he had come to her initially. He hadn’t cared that he was a man and she a woman, it hadn’t been sexual. He wasn’t certain he wanted the sexual tension to totally go away because he liked it in a way, but he wanted to offer her that comfort, maybe seek it for himself as well.

 

[lmcms]

She leaned back and relaxed as he began to she let herself uncoil knowing he wasn’t going to jump and run. She laughed lightly as she spoke, “No I’m not but I am the one who is naked and been without affection for over a month sitting next to a sexy as sin guy naked in my bathtub. Not only is he sexy he is a bit shy and that makes him all the more sexy and your scared if you move even a little he’ll run away from you.”

Claire closed her eyes and hummed softly letting herself sink a little deeper into the tub. Her skin lightly rubbed against him and it gave her a bit of contentment when what she really wanted still was for them to hold each other, but again she wasn’t sure it was something he was ready for and she didn’t want to push him or make him uncomfortable. The more time she spent with him the more she began to think that maybe being alone wasn’t what she needed but instead she needed a companion who in their own way understood what she was feeling. And if it turned out to be an adult companionship as well she saw no problem in that. They were both consenting adults and were going into this with eyes wide open. No hearts and flowers just companionship.

 

[The_gladiator]

Jake laughed at her words, “O hush I’m not as sexy as all that. Sure Cheri wants to jump my bones, but I’m pretty sure she’d do anything that stood still long enough, especially if Roger told her to.” He chuckled. “That’s not very nice, sorry. They’ve both been good friends to me over the years. How come I’ve never heard of you? I mean I knew Roger had a sister but nothing much more than that.”

He could feel her skin pressing against his and as she relaxed he could feel her hand sliding down his arm. In this quiet place he was aware of every touch and he subtly slid his arm back so her hand came to rest over his. Slowly he turned his hand over and let his fingers play over her palm before sliding forward to lace fingers with hers holding her hand. He wanted to just take her in his arms again but wasn’t sure if he should, and figured this was a place to start. He didn’t know where this would lead, if it would indeed lead anywhere. All he knew was as much as he wanted this to follow through to something sexual, he also wanted the comfort of her presence, both to give and receive affection the both craved.

 

[lmcms]

Claire let him twine there fingers together and leaned her head over to rest on his shoulder in a silent approval of the connection. She thought about the question he had asked and nibbled her lip as she did so before deciding how to answer. “Well you know Roger and Cheri are a bit ummm ……. wild. Well in that Roger and I are exact opposites. He is the party all night, live for today type while I am …….. well I guess you would say I am the straight laced one.”

She sighed and rubbed her head against his shoulder before continuing. “I plan, I orginize, I believe in parting as hard as he does but I also believe that the harder you work the more reason you have to party I guess you could say. To my family, granted no one will say it to my face, I’m the bitch, the nagger. Needless to say our lives don’t always mess well and well Bill was really lame so for the past 18 months I made myself fit his mold I guess.”

She closed her eyes enjoying being able to be close with someone no matter what was said or how odd it was that they were sitting naked in a bath tub having what could be the equivalnt of a first date. This made her giggle and unconsiously bury her face in his neck. After a second she whispered softly, "You know we are basically having a first date sitting naed in the bath tub?"

 

[The_gladiator]

Jake listened as she spoke, “Yeah that makes sense. Roger is a great guy, he’s a good manager and a fairly decent friend, but he doesn’t really take much very seriously…” he laughed, “Hell he certainly doesn’t take his marriage fidelity seriously. Although I think Cheri plays outside the marriage more than him, although who am I to judge.”” He said with a laugh.

He held her hand loving the connection. He had always loved to hold hands.

“Hell, that might be true but... seeing as we first met when you were naked and I was oagling you, what did you really expect?” He could feel her head move against him and smiled softly.

 

[lmcms]

She laughed at his statement. “Too true think we’ll get married in the bathroom too with one or both of use naked?” She asked playfullly bumping into his side letting him know she was teasing him. She had too admit she was actually enjopying his company even under the crazy circumstances.

“But I have to fair and warn you our marriage won’t be as …….. open as Roger and Cheri’s.” She said one another laugh. As she laughed and joked with him she found herself curling slightly into his side.

 

[The_gladiator]

“Oh yes totally, it won’t be you may kiss the bride it’ll be you may fuck the bride.” He laughed with a smile.

He laughed, “Oh come on, I can’t have my harem?” he said teasing her back. He could feel her cuddling closer and taking his right hand he took her right hand in his removing his left hand from hers sliding his arm up and around her shoulders he pulled her even closer.

 

[lmcms]

She laughed as she snuggled closer when his arm wrapped around her. "I guess that would be valid point if I let everyone see me fuck you why not let you have a harem too I mean after all your the rock star." She said giggling she nipped playfully at his shoulder.

"But then that leaves the question of where we have out honeymoon and then the birth of our children." She laughed again enjoying the craziness they were talking. "We could turn the whole house into bathroom that way the bathroom never misses any event." She died laughing picturing it in her head. Even though she was almost doubled over in laughter against his side she enjoyed the comforting arm around her.

 

[The_gladiator]

He laughed at her silliness. “C’mon, don’t cut me off from my harem, I haven’t even gotten a hand job from you… I’ll only give them up if you’re a talented lover.” He said laughing.

Their silliness was just outrageous and he was glad to see her smiling. His fingers stroked over her shoulder. “Who says I want children?” he said. “That’s a whole lot of tile and a really high water bill.” He said in response.

 

[lmcms]

She continued laughing. "Maybe if your a good boy I'll give you a free sample before you buy the cow." She was really enjoying herself and she had no idea why maybe she had been wound up to tight for a while now being able to unwind and just be silly without being judged felt amazingly freeing.

"Isn't that why your a rock star so you can get the little lady knocked up then go party while she works 9-5 and tends to the babies. Yeah the water bill might be a problem but I am a pro at managing money I am sure I could juggle it the kids just might have to wait a few years." As her laughing calmed down her right hand idlily stroked up and down his chest her nails dragging lightly. "You know if we get married I just might decide I like you Jakey boy." She told him and giggled again.

 

[The_gladiator]

“It better be one hell of a sample.” He said with a smirk.

He continued to laugh with her. As he laughed he looked down into her eyes, “Well, if you’re good with money maybe I can fire your brother and hire you as my manager… Maybe you’d manage to help me afford a nicer hotel than some of those slums he puts me up in. I didn’t know there were such cheap hotels in some of the towns we go to.”

As he talked to her he became aware of her hand stroking his chest, her manicured nails caressing his skin. He tried not to gasp or moan, something that he felt could happen very easily.

 

[lmcms]

SHe smiled "well technically Roger does have a day job and I am unemployeed. Do I get side benfits? Or wait maybe it's double pay you know for wife and manager?" She winked up at him.

She could feel the water start to cool and shivered slightly but didn't want there fun to end. She done some quick thinking. "Okay I have an idea the water is getting cold. Why don't we have a slumber party in my room? We can raid the fridge for snack, I have to tell you I am starving now, and some beers and we can hang out in here. Well not in here in here I think we should try moving this friendship out of the bathroom." She laughed again and it took her a few moments to continue what she was saying.

"Anyway snacks beer and company until we pass out. What you think?" She asked and looked up at him.

 

[The_gladiator]

“Side benefits, huh?” he said with a laugh. “What do those include?”

He listened to her suggestions and raised an eyebrow. “You really do think of interesting first dates.” He said with a laugh. “That sounds interesting, I think I’m in but if I was soaking in this tub I’m covered and bubbles. I’m getting in the shower, you may join me if you so choose.” He said as he stood shyly keeping his back and his now mostly hard cock from her line of sight. He’d rather her look at his ass. He turned after a second realizing he wasn’t going to be a jerk, hard cock or not, as he extended a hand down to help her up.

 

[lmcms]

Claire swallowed trying not to react to the hard cock now in front of her face and took his offer to help her up. "We can talk about side benefits during the slumber party and yeah I could use a rinse off." She told him licking her lips.

She rose out of the water bubbles and water droplets streaming down her body tracing her curves. She pressed a little closer to him than was nessesary but couldn't seem to stop her herself.

 

[The_gladiator]

“You sound like you’re negotiating a contract.” He said to her we’ll discuss the benefits discussion.

He watched the heat coming into her eyes the excitement. He tried not to blush. He let his hand trail down her back wiping away some of the bubbles, his hand sliding a bit lower than it should have slipping part of the way over the curve of her bottom. His eyes watched bubbles slide down the swells of her breasts. He licked his lips and lifted his eyes to hers. He didn’t say anything just seemed frozen there for a second.

 

[lmcms]

“I’m good at negotiating contracts.” She whispered softly as not to break the spell they both seemed to be under. With his hand half way on her ass and his eyes on her breast she took a step forward with out consious thought. Her wet slick breast lightly rubbed against his bare chest send shivers downing her spine.

“I’m going to kiss you.” She whispered breathily and because it felt natural she leaned forward pressing their chest closer together. She told him her intention and moved slowly so he had time to move away if it wasn’t something he wanted to do as well.

 

[The_gladiator]

Jake’s hand slid up to the small of her back again as his eyes slid up from her body to meet her eyes. He could feel her pressing against him. Her move pressed her breasts to his chest and his cock against her belly. His other hand was still gripping hers. He slid it up her right arm and into her long hair.

He leaned down; meeting her halfway as she whispered that she was going to kiss him. He let his lips brush softly across hers. It was not quite a tentative kiss, but it certainly wasn’t the passionate kiss he could have given her either. It was a kiss of exploration.

This all was moving so rapidly and Jake’s insides fluttered with the excitement of this. Her lips were full and soft and that first explorative kiss turned into a second and third kiss as his hands pulled her closer, pushing his cock up between them and her breasts against his chest. He let out a soft moa, a moan that said so much, it was one full of excitement, need, desire.
