"Sure!"

I bit my lip to suppress my frustration then smiled and said, "Sure!"

The beach was sparsely populated. Everyone was mostly covered as the breeze offered a bit more chill than we were used to. I wrapped an arm around Mandy and pulled her in tight.

"This is beautiful," she said, gazing around at the starlit beach.

"You're beautiful," I said, getting lost in her eyes.

"You're cheesy," she shot back. I kissed her.

"I'm serious," I said. "You really are so beautiful. And so sexy." I gave her ass a playful squeeze.

"I feel like I'm starting to warm up to this whole 'topless' thing."

"Topless? You went full nude!"

Mandy laughed. "I know! Everyone is so nice and so encouraging. Ariel is so nice, I love her."

"I'm glad you've made a friend."

"I think you're glad I've made a hot friend who likes to walk around with her boobs out," Mandy joked.

"That part is nice for sure."

"She thinks you're super cute too," Mandy said. I raised my eyebrows.

"Oh yea?"

"Yea, she told me while we were walking to the pool to look for you guys.

"Well, that's nice to know, I guess."

I hugged Mandy close to me as we looked off toward the horizon, the moonlight shimmering off the calm ocean. Our cheeks pressed together and, for a few minutes, we just stood in silence enjoying each other's company.
