Spring Break Arrangement (MF) I'm not sure what made me pause and take a second look at the wavy blond-haired man sitting in the booth in front of me. I just felt the urge. That little personality flaw of mine, always taking things a step too far, has put me in more embarrassing positions than I care to admit. I was sitting in an international airport waiting for a flight to London. How many people passed through here everyday and I thought I knew the man in the booth in front of me. How rare is that? Over an espresso and the Wall Street Journal I would glance up every now and then. How many curly heads, viewed from the back no less, could possibly be familiar? More than one, unfortunately. I glanced at the back of his tanned neck, a somewhat thick neck with a light strip of skin just below the hairline, like his hair had been newly trimmed and the sun hadn't quite browned him. It bothered me. I wanted to ask if he needed sun screen or maybe a hat. Anything to make conversation or get him to turn around. With a mental shrug I continued on with my morning paper, trying to bury myself in some serious-minded article or stock quotes. It was no use. That curly blond head reminded me of someone. It was spring break, seven years ago. I was a Junior in college at Syracuse. He was a Senior at Syracuse. A few times a week I would pass him by in the student union and drool. He was so ruggedly handsome. He was always surrounded by the silliest group of coeds, all dubious sorority sisters. I was no skank but he never seemed to notice me. Why would he? He had the pick of the best of the best. It didn't really bother me much. Besides, I was seeing someone. Honestly, I only fantasized about Scott. Tall, broad-shouldered and narrow-hipped, he oozed sex. He also had this endearing little dimple in one of his cheeks; absolutely melted me when he smiled. More than once I would catch myself studying the way his faded button-fly 501's skimmed his thighs. Was he really packaged that nicely or was it the clothes? It didn't matter. He was only a fantasy. That's what I told myself. But every once in a great while, usually when I felt things weren't going well with my ongoing relationship, my fantasies would become bolder, almost desperate. I wondered how Scott would react if I threw myself at him. Would he just dodge aside with those slim and sexy hips and leave me nose-down on the floor? Spring Break at Daytona Beach was always a wild ride. My girlfriends and I hadn't missed a year since our senior year in high school when our parents unwittingly let us take off on what was the beginning of a very hedonistic tradition for us. We had a pact. Our pact was to have the wildest, craziest week we could manage, all in the name of fun, before we buckled down to finish out the rest of the year away at school. It was our reward for keeping up our GPA. The week was always filled with all-night parties, dancing naked on balconies, flashing any and all guys we ran across, just for the wolf whistles and grabs. It was crazy. We were crazy. A varying diet of liquor and not enough food kept us from becoming too concerned about how we appeared. Everyone was riding the same boat. It was a time none of us would ever forget. Tammy, my best friend since third grade, always managed to get laid first. She was a scream. She was very open and never shied away from sex in the oddest places. We had hardly settled into our room when she ran into some hard-body sophomore from NCU who happened to be passing by our room at the exact moment Tammy declared the holiday had officially started. We all watched as she propositioned the guy, telling him she would fuck him for the beer he was carrying. She had one condition, though: He had to do it with her on the fourth floor balcony with all of us watching! Did he turn her down? Hell no. It was Spring Break, sort of like a free love Woodstock of the 90s. All six of us staying in that room, not to mention about forty people partying around the pool, got a show they weren't soon to forget. That was Tammy. She always put me in the mood to make mischief. That's what started that fateful day. Management threw us out of the hotel, right on our asses. We had no place to stay except my old 87 Pathfinder. That wouldn't do. All six of us, one or more of us drunk at one time or another, had to come up with a plan. Leave it to Tammy to think of something. We had parked my truck and started to walk the beach. Halfheartedly we tried to come up with a plan, anything to get a place to sleep. There was no chance of finding a hotel room anymore, everything was booked solid. We didn't have the money to afford a condo or private home and staying a hundred miles away in some small town wasn't an option. That's when Tammy stopped me in mid-hip-swing with a forearm across my belly. "Look at that." I followed Tammy's eyes and nodded. "Yeah, cool, but how in the hell can we afford that?" I asked her. "Money is not necessary." "What's that supposed to mean?" But I was beginning to understand. This was coming from Tammy, my sex-hungry best friend. My eyes focused on the group of sun-bronzed gods guzzling Corona and rocking to Metallica. Leave it to Tammy to think of something. "Follow me," she said, tugging at her bikini bottoms. "Hold on," I said, gathering more courage from the Big Gulp of a poor college students idea of a screwdriver, orange soda and vodka, heavy on the vodka. I shrugged and followed Tammy's lead, the others not far behind. My inhibitions had slipped away after the first liter of screwdrivers. I was well into my second Big Gulp by then. All six of us sashayed up to the nicest beach cabin for miles. There might have been enough fabric between all of us to make one size 8 t-shirt. Heads turned as we stepped over a passed out redhead, a few blow up dolls and a couple of studs in Speedo bathing suits intent on oiling themselves to a sheen and frying. My eyes, and I'm fairly positive all the eyes of my friends, were on the group of six hunks partying around the stocked bar. And wouldn't you know it, Scott was standing second from the right, eyeing me from behind his upturned Corona. "Hey, what's up?" Tammy flirted. "I was wondering if we could, like, borrow some ice?" "Sure," one of the guys said. "Help yourself. The ice chest is right back here." "Thanks. Oh, my name is Tammy and these are my friends." She smiled, daintily stepping over his leg to open the ice chest. I smirked when Tammy leaned over to open the ice chest on the ground without even bending her knees. She was good. She also had all their attention. "Ronni, come here. You're the one who was so hot." I blushed a little and smiled, stepping over to Tammy, almost afraid of what she was going to do next. Tammy turned around, an ice cube in both hands. "Here, hold still." She started to rub the ice cubes on my neck. I was a little shocked at first but decided to follow along. I arched my neck back and groaned. "Oh, yes. That feels much better." Tammy smiled, turning to the guys with another sweet request. "Excuse me, could you hand me another ice cube? She is so hot, look how fast the ice is melting." Tammy was working it. She rubbed lower with the ice, the sliver now disappearing between my wet cleavage. My cleavage wasn't overdone, but it helped when I squeezed my arms closer together against my sides, something I was doing at the time. Tammy giggled as the chip of ice disappeared beneath the string of my bikini. "Thank you." She reached for the offered ice cube and continued to rub me down. At the time I was wearing a baby blue string bikini, the kind where the tops were little triangles slid onto a string. Tammy was now sliding the little triangles farther apart on the string, giving a really great view of my breasts. "It's such a shame. She could get heat stroke or something." I moaned again on cue. "Could you help me please?" Tammy quirked one eyebrow behind her glasses. "I think someone should do her back." Scott was the first to offer his services. Before I could say "more, please" he was coating my lower back with melting ice. He lifted my curtain of straight dark blonde hair away from my shoulders and rubbed with the slivers of ice. "Did something happen to you guys?" Scott asked, just a little concern in his voice. "We were kicked out of our hotel room and we have been forced to walk the beach all day, for hours really, and we just can't find anything available. We're desperate." Tammy answered. The other girls nodded their heads in agreement. I noticed from the corner of my eye that two of them were being handed drinks by the guys. "I mean, we are really at the end of our ropes. Ronni could have like, permanent damage or something. That old manager at the hotel just didn't care." "I think we caught it, whatever it was, in time. She seems just fine," Scott replied, a cold hand stroking the back of my thigh. "So, you girls have no place to stay?" Tammy nodded, taking an offered beer. "Thank you." She rubbed the remainder of an ice chip on my lips. My tongue slurped it up thirstily. Maybe I should consider changing my major from marketing to theater. I felt an arm slide around my waist and guide me towards the pool. "Why don't you just rest here a minute. Let me get you something to drink." It was Scott. I stared up into his blue eyes dreamily, hoping he didn't recognize me behind my sunglasses. "You're so sweet. Water will be fine for now." I slid into the pool, dipping my head back to wet my hair. Suddenly and on purpose my chest was on wanton display. The ice had hardened my nipples, slipping into the unheated pool had kept them that way. I knew they were visible. I always had such lengthy erect nipples anyway. I was positive Scott had a good look at them nearly piercing through the wet, clingy fabric of my bikini top. I took my time standing up straight, making a show of squeezing the water from my hair. "We're at the point right now that we would do anything for a roof over our heads for the rest of the weekend. Just anything," Tammy pouted. "Anything?" This brought a few nudges and smiles from the guys. Tammy opened her mouth in a little gasp, her glossed lips in a little "o". She then bit down on her bottom lip. "No, that wouldn't be a good idea." "What?" Dutch, a stocky guy with a Cubs baseball cap asked. "Well, I was thinking, this is Spring Break and things can get a little, you know, crazy. And my friends and I, well . . . " Tammy paused for effect. "Our parents would be so worried about us if they knew about that misunderstanding at the hotel." "Yeah?" "What if, for the weekend only, you could give each one of us a job to do, in return for bathroom privileges and a place to sleep, like the living room?" Tammy bit her lip again. I snuck a glance at Stacy, Renee, Desiree and Gina to see their reaction. They were smiling. "Like, to clean up after us and stuff?" John, the tall, lanky-looking jock asked. "Anything. I guess we could clean up, maybe serve drinks to you and your buddies." Tammy smiled, a fake shy smile. Dutch shook his head. "I don't know. This is a really nice place. It's costing us a lot to stay here. Hell, we had to rent it a year in advance. There's probably a lot of women that would do more than chores to be able to stay here." He smiled smugly, licking his lips. Tammy had met her match. "I never said we wouldn't put out." I bit back a smile when we were greeted with "Dudes!", high fives and "All rights!" "Is that a yes?" Tammy asked, beaming. "I think the plan is workable," said Brad. "Then why don't we take the time to get to know each other a little first, you know, like, introductions and in an hour you guys can pick who you want to be your . . . um . . . personal assistant," Tammy said. "Cool." "Fuckin' A." "Jammin'." The next hour was spent drinking, flirting, kissing and feeling each other up. Lady Luck smiled on me that weekend. Scott chose me. I spent that weekend doing something I thought impossible. I served Scott's every desire. More importantly, I enjoyed every minute of it. When he asked me to pleasure myself in front of himself and some of his friends, I immediately began stroking the silky wetness between my legs. The thought of doing something so forbidden in the open with so many watching brought me to climax sooner than it would have taken if I were alone. And he asked me to go down on him in front of another woman while she fingered me to orgasm. His shooting sperm and my climactic groans nearly choked me to the point of unconsciousness. But my best memory of that weekend was the last time we had sex. He just lay back on the bed and told me to do whatever I wanted. It didn't matter if he came at all, he said. He wanted to watch my face as I came. I was only too eager to lay my naked body on top of him and open my thighs. I slid his penis inside me, not breaking the contact between our bellies. This was one of my favorite positions. I pushed my pubic bone into his flat belly and felt my clit rubbing against the rough hair at the top of his shaft. I moved up and down on him that way, our eyes never breaking away. I'm sure I said things to him. I know I did. I tend to talk a little dirty at the most exciting times. Like, "my pussy is so wet,""fuck me and don't ever stop," and "I'm going to come all over you" flowed from my mouth, along with many groans, growls, and obscenities. The combination of being the one in control, the slight pain of brutal rubbing and the thickness of him moving deeper and harder brought me to throbbing orgasm after several heated moments. The orgasm shook me, and I'm sure I threw my head back and cried out, sitting back far enough to force him deeper inside me as he spurted against my cervix. It was a hell of a weekend. I never felt guilty about it. Not once. It was part of our secret pact. Besides, it was for good reason we sold ourselves to these guys for the weekend. The idea that Scott was in control of my every action was exciting. It was a huge turn-on for me. It was all part of the game that I enjoyed playing with him and his friends. And then it was over. We went back to school and pretended we had never met. There was a possibility he didn't recognize me. I managed to stay away from the student union for quite some time. And, while in Florida, my looks were somewhat different. Normally I'm not much of a sun worshiper although I tan very easily. At school I usually wore my hair up in a pony tail, ometimes with a baseball cap. In Florida I kept it long and straight. It was also slightly lighter from the sun. I also didn't wear makeup during that week. The sun had tanned my skin to a deep gold and makeup wouldn't have been right. Besides, my blue eyes stood out even more against my bronzed face. Another thing, I go by the name Veronica at school. Only Tammy calls me Ronni and she didn't attend our University. I suppose it was best we didn't meet afterwards. It would have ruined the hedonistic flavor of that weekend. We would have actually had to talk and communicate. I think I preferred it this way. But now, here I sat, staring at the back of this man's head and wondered if it was my "master" from all those years ago. My reverie was interrupted by the boarding call for my flight to London. I shoved my unread copy of the Wall Street Journal into my carry-on and slipped past his booth. As I rounded the corner I braved a look. As luck would have it he was turned the opposite direction gathering his overcoat. I boarded my flight earlier than usual since I had a seat near the back of the airliner. I immediately requested a Stoli on the rocks and a bottle of water, stashing the water for later. Flying sometimes made me nervous. I nearly choked on my cocktail when I looked up at the man taking the seat next to me. He was stashing his overcoat in the overhead compartment but in that instance after shutting the compartment door and lowering himself to his seat, I got a good look at his face. It was him. It had to be him. I could never forget his face, even after several years. Although now dressed as professionals, I still remembered every inch of that hard body of his. I was blushing, and obviously I was choking loudly. He glanced over at me, a look of concern on his face as I continued to choke. I tried desperately to stop, I didn't want to draw his attention. I willed myself to stop, I begged my throat to calm down so he would look away. It was too late. Something lit up in his eyes. I believe it was recognition. "Ronni?" "Dammit." I choked louder. I leaned over, turning my face from him, and grabbed the bottle of water poking from my carry on. "I'm sorry, you look so much like someone I know," he said. Must have been my red face. I suppose it could masquerade as a tan. And I suppose it hadn't been that long since that remarkable weekend. What? Seven years ago? "Pardon me?" I asked, creasing my brow in question. "It is you. Oh man, who would have thought. How've you been?" he asked, thumping me on the back. I calmed down long enough to lean back and take another sip of my Stoli. "I'm sorry, I can't remember your name." That was stupid, I thought. Now he'll really think I'm a bimbo. "I mean, of course I remember. How could I possibly forget. How long has it been?" I was mortified. Embarrassed beyond belief. He noticed. "Scott. That's okay. You were pretty drunk as far as I remember. Then again, so was I." He grinned. I got the feeling he was going to make me suffer just a little. "Drunk? In college during Spring Break? Of course." I paused before taking another sip of Stoli, opting for the water instead. "Yeah, that was one bitchin' weekend." I managed a little laugh. Scott grinned and looked away for a moment before meeting my gaze once again. "It was the best weekend of my life so far." The flight was readying for take-off. I gulped the rest of my cocktail and handed the empty glass to the stewardess. "Sorry, I get a little nervous when flying." Excuses, excuses. He reached over and patted my hand. "Relax. I'll get you another as soon as she passes by again." He smiled at me. I couldn't help but notice the adorable dimple. He'd only grown more handsome. His blue eyes were mesmerizing. I looked away and closed my eyes. After another hour of conversation I found myself more relaxed. Scott was easy to talk to. He graduated that summer from Syracuse and went on to law school. He was on his way to London on business also. Still, I had to wonder, how much did he remember of that weekend? The man had women crawling all over him every time I saw him. Probably still did. I was just another notch in the headboard. "So, you're a buyer for a major chain of department stores? Seems like you would have to fly often. You should be used to the routine by now," he said, squeezing a sliver of fresh lime into an open bottle of Corona. I don't know why I thought it was funny that he was drinking the same thing he had been drinking that weekend. I smiled as I watched him take a sip. "I manage. Of course, running into old--um--friends sometimes makes me a little nervous. I don't think it would matter if I was on an airplane or sitting on a park bench. Unnerving, you know." He nodded, clinking his beer bottle against my glass. "Here's to old and new friends then. Don't be nervous." I clutched Scott's hand the moment the plane lurched with turbulence. "Now that I can't get used to." I fastened my seatbelt, maybe a silly thing to do, but I had heard of people getting knocked unconscious during unusually rough bouts with turbulence. Scott did the same. We continued on that way for the next thirty minutes before the pilot announced that the plane was experiencing a mechanical problem that will require immediate attention. We were clear to land at a small airport in the Bahamas. Estimated time of arrival: ten more minutes. I must have guzzled the remainder of my drink and handed it to the flight attendant without noticing. "Now I'm nervous," Scott commented. I try not to be the kind of person who worries too much or needs to lean on other people too often. This case was different. It seemed natural for Scott and I to hold hands during the next ten minutes and during the tense landing of the airliner. When all had come to an end without flames, smoke or flying debris, we actually hugged in relief. We listened as the flight attendant directed us to an airline host who would see us to some accommodations for the night. We sat together in one of the shuttles to a hotel. We followed some of the other passengers into the lobby and waited for the reservations clerk to clear our way to some rooms, courtesy of the airline. Unfortunately, it was high season on the island and hardly any rooms were available. We waited patiently, still a little numb from our experience. "I'm sorry, Ms. Spell, this is the only room we have left." The clerk looked behind me at Scott and smiled. "I can place some calls at some other hotels and try to find you a room, sir. There may be a few rooms available at some of the motels on the outskirts of town. The night manager is on the phone right now with the airline trying to arrange transportation to some of the other islands for the night." It struck me just then. How brilliant. How convenient, in fact. We were adults now, unattached and free to do as we please. The past few hours forced us to question our mortality. Besides, I believed it was my turn to play master. "Oh, I'm sorry. You must have misunderstood. Mr. Webster is with me." I turned and smiled back at Scott, reaching for his hand. Instantly I felt his fingers entwine with mine. "We'll take the room." Well, it wasn't a complete weekend. Only one night. But he promised me another two nights so I could get my fair share of playing master. We would meet in one month in Napa. And my favorite part? The time I told him that I was going to lay back and let him do what he wanted. All I wanted to do was watch his eyes when he came.
