"What a beautiful night!"
"Yes it is," Carly replied. She and Adam had been going out for a few weeks, but had not yet had sex. They had groped each other quite a bit and she had even let Adam suck and nibble her breasts last week. Until now, she just wasn't ready to allow him complete access, and Adam had been a perfect gentleman. He made sure she knew his desire to make love to her, but never pressured her. She was ready to change all that tonight.
As they walked down the beach, she reached for his hand, and held it tight. Carly had been hurt by most of her prior boyfriends. She knew that a lot of it was her fault. She was too willing to jump in bed and most of her first dates ended with her screaming as her orgasm washed over her. There was no doubt she liked sex, but she had never allowed herself to get to know a guy before they were screwing their brains out. She had an unenviable knack for finding guys that only seemed to want her for sex. After her last boyfriend joined that club Carly decided to change her ways.
What amazed her was how Adam accepted, without question, her decision to wait. He was always nice and respectful to her and constantly did little things to make her feel special. Over the weeks they had grown into great friends, and now Carly found herself starting to fall in love. It scared her a little, since she had never been there before. Her relationships were usually short, filled with lust and lots of sex, but never love. As her feelings for Adam blossomed, she decided that tonight she would show him her love.
As they crossed the beach to the rocky outcropping at the far end, Carly stopped them for a second and turned to Adam. She leaned in, kissed him sweetly on the lips, and whispered, "I love you."
For a moment, Adam said nothing. As Carly pulled back, she noticed a tear in his eye. With a light touch she wiped it away. "Did I upset you?" she asked, a note of concern in her voice.
A smile spread across his face and he said, "Not even close. That is most definitely a tear of joy. I love you too."
They kissed again, a deep, passionate kiss that lasted a while. Holding hands the reached the rocks and worked their way out to the end. They found a large, smooth rock sitting just above the crashing waves. Adam lay down the blanket he had grabbed from the car and they snuggled together under the stars. If they stood up, they could see the beach, but as they lay down, they became unnoticed by anyone on the beach or the road nearby. The problem was that while they could not be seen, they could not see anyone coming until they were practically stepped on.
Adam and Carly lay side by side and looked up at the moon and stars. There were no clouds to obscure their view and the moon was almost full. The stars twinkled and seemed to glow brighter than either had ever seen before. Adam rolled onto his side and looked at Carly.
