At one point, I took a seat with Sunny at a table in the eating area of the market. Since they sold prepared foods, it was basically a restaurant.
This woman seated at the table next to us smiled over at me. But when Sunny turned toward her, the expression on the woman’s face changed. My heart sank. It was exactly that look Carys had described getting from people. It felt awful. I suspected Carys never said anything when it happened. But I couldn’t help myself.
“Excuse me.”
She turned to me and smiled again. “Yes?”
“I couldn’t help but notice the way your expression changed when my little friend here turned toward you. I know you didn’t mean any harm, but you should know there’s no reason to feel differently about her. She’s the happiest baby I know. And the most beautiful. She can’t understand what your change in expression means right now, but someday when she’s older, she’ll be able to sense what people might be thinking when they look at her a certain way. So please save your sympathy for someone who needs it.”
The woman frowned, taken aback. “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean any harm. I didn’t realize I had done that.”
Rather than respond, I stood up and walked outside with Sunny to get some air. She leaned her head on my shoulder, and I kissed the top of it.
My reaction in there was probably a bit overboard; my emotions were out of whack with my impending departure. I guess I felt like I needed to stick up for Sunny now because I wouldn’t be able to do it later.
After I’d grabbed my bearings and walked back inside, the sight of a smiling Carys brought me back to the present. She approached us with her cart full of food.
“This place is great. Sorry I’m taking so long. I just never get to do this.”
“I know. That’s why I gave you space. Take your time.”
“Oh, no. I’m done. Let’s go check out so we don’t miss the sunlight.”
After we got back to the house and put away the food, Carys took Sunny into their room to change.
Carys emerged wearing a sundress that covered the swimsuit underneath. The tie of her swimsuit was knotted around the back of her neck. Sunny wore a little polka dot bathing suit with a hat to match.
I pulled on the edge of Sunny’s hat. “Are you ready for the beach?”
She wriggled her legs and squealed.
While they were getting ready, I’d packed snacks and drinks into a cooler. We loaded the car and headed out. The beach was only a few minutes down the road.
After we parked, we found the perfect spot on the sand, a ways away from the nearest group of people.
We laid down a blanket, and Carys pulled out the beach toys I’d bought.
My attention briefly wandered to a Jack Russell terrier playing in the sand.
When I turned back around to look at Carys, she’d removed her sundress. My heart raced as I took in her bikini-clad body. I’d been looking forward to and dreading this moment at the same time. Immediately, the sight of her pert breasts straining through the fabric of her top reminded me of the way they’d tasted the night I sucked them into my mouth, reminded me how perfectly they’d fit into my palms. My hands tingled with the need to touch the taut, peachy skin of her stomach. Her body couldn’t have been more perfect. I hadn’t ever seen her so undressed in broad daylight. I couldn’t stop staring. When my eyes met hers and she blushed, I realized she knew exactly what I’d been thinking.
“I was gonna put on sunscreen,” she said. “But I don’t think there’s a need, since the sun isn’t that strong right now. I put plenty on Sunny back at the house, though.”
I knew it would kill me to touch her, but the opportunistic side of me couldn’t contain itself.
“Better safe than sorry.” I grabbed the bottle. “Let me.”
Carys slid over, and I began massaging the lotion onto her back. She had the smoothest skin I’d ever touched. My dick immediately stood at attention in my swim shorts. This was not good. After I finished, I turned away to focus on the Jack Russell again, hoping my erection would subside before she noticed.
“Can I put some on you?” she asked.
“Yeah. Thanks.”
Now there was no chance of my dick downsizing. The feel of her soft hands rubbing over my back was fucking heaven.
I let out a frustrated breath as she continued.
“Thank you,” I said when she stopped. I didn’t turn around, though, not wanting her to see that I was hard.
Focusing on some seagulls, I worked to distract myself. When it was finally safe to turn around, I noticed Sunny slapping her hands in the sand. She was having a freaking ball.
