"No. Do you?"
I wriggled around until I was on my knees with his arm still around me. I kissed him softly. "Let's start right now. I'm still on the pill, but we could practice."
"Right here on my parents' couch?"
"No, I guess not." I tapped my chin, considering the options. "Let's do something naughty."
"What do you have in mind? You know I'm up for anything."
"Let's sneak onto your neighbors' beach and have sex in the moonlight."
He pulled me onto his lap, wrapped both arms around me, and got to his feet while maintaining his hold on me. "Let's do it."
And we did just that. On the beach, in the moonlight, we made love for an hour. The naughtiness factor made it a little more exciting, but it was Val who made our time on that beach a night to remember.
When I'd first met Val, I had thought he was the wrong man for me. On the surface, we seemed like complete opposites. In the months I'd known him, I had realized how much we had in common and that our differences made our relationship stronger and more exciting. When my instinct was to play it safe, he encouraged me to take risks. When his instinct was to go a little too far, I reined him in, but only enough to keep us both from getting arrested. I loved his wild side, his caring side, his intelligence, his humor, his body. I loved him, period.
Naked or clothed.

Six Days Later
I scratched my chest through my shirt, not used to wearing clothes. Eve had instituted a new policy that decreed not only did employees have to wear clothes when greeting new guests, but we also had to wear a uniform. The fabric was itchy. She swore she'd order better ones soon, but for today, I had to act friendly while my whole body begged to be scratched.
A taxi rolled up the driveway, gravel crunching under its tires. The driver parked but did not get out to help the woman in the backseat get her things out of the trunk.
Everybody in town knew Au Naturel was a naturist resort full of naked people. Most locals didn't mind, but some thought it was a freak show. I recognized the taxi driver. Phil Johnson didn't mind sneaking a peek at the female guests whenever he drove someone out here, but he refused to set foot on the property. His shoes stayed firmly in the taxi.
As usual, he peered out the windshield hoping to catch a glimpse.
Since the other guests had gone inside for lunch, the perv was disappointed.
I hurried forward to pull the back door open.
The woman inside had her head down, focused on fiddling with her purse. Auburn hair fell over her shoulders and curtained her face.
Offering her my hand, I said, "Welcome to Au Naturel."
She slipped her hand into mine and climbed out of the taxi. Her head lifted, and she smiled a little. "Thank you. I'm Mara Severins."
I already knew that, but I couldn't manage to say anything in response. She was beautiful. Her almond-shaped eyes, an amazing shade of jade green, sparkled in the sunshine. Her skin was a golden tan, like it was her natural complexion and not made in a tanning bed or the result of a sunbathing addiction. The form-fitting dress she wore showcased her slender body and especially her breasts. They weren't large, but they weren't small either. Just the right size, I decided.
Her pouty lips tightened, and her brows drew together. "Is something wrong? Is this the wrong day? Sometimes I do that, I get the dates messed up and show up at the wrong time."
"I— whuh—" Yeah, those were the first syllables I spoke to the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. Shit. What was wrong with me? I still held her hand in mine, and her skin was so soft.
She squinted at my chest, then swung her gaze up to mine. "It's nice to meet you, Oliver."
How did she know my name? I glanced at my chest. Duh. The name tag pinned to my shirt told her.
Time to suck it up and act like a mature adult.
I rolled my shoulders back and released her hand. "Yes, I'm Oliver Jackson, the assistant manager. You can call me Ollie if you want. Let me get your bags for you."
"Thank you, Oliver."
