Vanilla

by Scarlet Smith

  "Time to go in the sea, I think," she whispered, and holding hands they went into the water.

  "Shit!" Max swore. "It's always colder than you think it's gonna be!"

  Jess grinned and splashed at him.

  They couldn't exactly just walk into the sea and start shagging - and they certainly couldn't do it in the breaking waves like the porn film couple had.

  They moved quite far out, away from most of the other swimmers and splashed at each other a bit.

  "I feel like everyone's watching us," Jess said, even though they were pretty far away.

  "That's the point, Jessie - outdoor sex. We're outside, people might see. Isn't that the point? The thrill of it all?"

  Jess nodded. "Yeah, but I don't want people to guess what we're doing."

  "Well, we won't kiss." Max said.

  "Sexy!" Jess said, her voice dry.

  "Well, if we start snogging, everyone will guess," Max said.

  "I know," Jess said, suddenly feeling very unsexy. "It's just a bit clinical. Don't kiss, don't look like we're doing it, no eye contact, don't touch each other!"

  Max grinned. "Let's swim a little bit further over."

  Jess nodded and they started swimming towards the rocks. The little inlets were cut off by the sea, but they might be lucky and find a bit of sand.

  "Are we going to end up stranded or eaten by a shark?" Jess said, struggling to keep up with Max - he was such a powerful swimmer.

  "Don't be daft!" Max laughed. They swam into the first inlet, but it was full of water. "Let's try the next one."

  The next inlet was just around the bend and, as they swam closer, they could see about ten feet of sand, in a triangle shape. The tide was on the way in, but the little cove was empty.

  "Oh yeah!" Max laughed and the two of them swam closer and then walked up onto the secluded beach.

  "Ready?" Max asked, cocking an eyebrow at her.

  Jess laughed.

  "Need a little warming up, maybe...?"

  Max snaked his arms around her, and slipped his hands inside her bikini bottoms, so that they were resting on her backside.

  "That, I can do."

  The little beach was so secluded, Jess felt like she was on her own Paradise Island.

  She felt sexy.

  The waves were lapping at her feet and the breeze across her skin was delicious.

  Max's kiss was deep and hard. He kissed her neck and then moved behind her, kissing the back of her neck and moving down her bare back. He pulled her bikini bottoms down and kissed her backside, nibbling and pinching at her skin.

  He moved in front of her and probed at her with his tongue, delving in between her legs and making her wetter.

  He stood up. "Need to take these off," he said and started pulling his shorts down. "Keys are digging in my leg!"

  Jess grinned.

  He went back onto his knees in front of her and she relaxed her legs slightly so that he could lick her even deeper and harder.

  "I need to lie down," she whispered. "Before I fall down."

  Max laughed.

  Jess lay down, her legs open, the sea lapping at her feet.

  Max put his hands under her butt and lifted her off the sand, licking and kissing her clit until she was close to orgasm.

  "Let's move down," Max said, and they both wriggled across the sand, so Max was kneeling fully in the water, and her thighs were covered.

  With Max's tongue lapping at her pussy and the waves lapping at her legs, Jess felt like she was living in a fantasy.

  It was toe-curlingly gorgeous.

  Jess came with a shudder and a groan.

  Max kissed up her body until he reached her mouth.

  "Fuck me," Jess whispered, through his kisses.

  Max grunted something that she didn't understand and slipped his cock inside her.

  Jess kissed Max's neck, feeling the surf wash over her midriff now - the tide was coming in quick.

  "This feels gorgeous," Max said, kneeling in front of her and playing with her tits as he thrust into her.

  Jess slipped her legs up onto Max's shoulders and bucked up to meet his thrusts. She started pushing up faster and faster and then her orgasm screamed through her.

  A few seconds later, Max came with a groan and then an enormous wave washed over them both.

  Spluttering and laughing, they stood up and pulled on their clothes.

  Max dropped a kiss on her head. "Lush!"

  Jess giggled. "We have to swim back now!"

  Max nodded. "We'll go slowly,"

  Slowly and grinning like idiots, they swam back to the main beach.

  There were still loads of people in the sea and Jess wondered if they were wondering what they had been up to. She hoped so!

  Back on the sand, Max propped himself against the rocks and enjoyed a beer, while Jess enjoyed a little sunbathing.

  Every now and then, they would catch each other's eyes and one of them would smirk.

  "That might be my new favourite," Max said.

  Jess opened one eye. "Yeah?"

  "Yeah. I thought we had a pretty good sex life, but I'm enjoying this new stuff."

  "We are pretty hot," Jess said, grinning up at him.

  It was true - she was enjoying the excitement of trying new things. She was a little worried about some of the things that were coming up on the list, but she was going to deal with them when she got to them.

  For now, she was enjoying the assignment, and Leyla loved her blogs.

  She was hinting that there might be more work of a similar ilk, depending on the feedback from readers at the end of the series.

  As pleased as she was that there would be more work, Jess wasn't really sure what other sex stuff they could do!

  Chapter Fifteen

  When Jess and Max got home after the beach, Jess got to work on her blog, while Max caught up on some of his work, and later they settled down and enjoyed a quiet evening watching a film.

  Jess had already checked and the next thing on the list was a little bit of S & M - spanking to be exact - bondage could wait till the following day.

  "Honey," Jess said, during the advert. "So tomorrow's thing is spanking..."

  "Okay," Max nodded, not seeming fazed.

  "So I thought we could maybe toss a coin and see who'll spank and who'll be spanked?"

  Max nodded. "Good idea. I don't mind either way."

  Jess grinned. She couldn't believe how much Max was enjoying this assignment - after his initial anger!

  "Got a coin?"

  Max nodded and reached into his pocket. He passed her a 50p.

  Jess flipped it. "Heads or tails?"

  "Heads, I spank," Max said, a devilish grin on his face.

  Jess looked at the coin. "Heads, you spank," she said, showing him the coin.

  "Look out!" Max said, laughing.

  Jess smiled. "Bring it on!"

  .

  Jess rang her spanking expert after breakfast.

  It was Monday, so she didn't know if she would be able to talk or if she'd be in work.

  "Hi, is that Kelly?"

  "Yeah. Who's that?"

  "Sorry, it's Jess from Fresh Vibe magazine. I was wondering if you could meet me to talk about, um, ah, your sex life?"

  Kelly laughed. "Course. I'm not working today..."

  They arranged to meet for lunch in the same coffee shop she'd met Sarah in.

  "I've got bright red hair," Kelly told her. "You won't be able to miss me!"

  And she was right. When Jess walked in, she spotted her straightaway. She was probably mid-forties with long, shocking-red hair.

  As before, Jess paid for food - tucking the receipt away to claim back later as expenses.

  "So..." Jess pulled her notebook closer. She hadn't really needed any of the notes she'd made so far but it did help to reinforce that she was a professional writer, and not just a pervert asking people about their sexual exploits!

  "Spanking?" Kelly asked, sipping her la
tte.

  Jess nodded.

  Kelly grinned. Jess smiled - she had a feeling they would get on.

  "I love spanking - and really I'm pretty hardcore. I love all the S & M stuff, really."

  "Why?" Jess was intrigued - she wasn't sure that getting duffed up was much of a turn on, really.

  "It's dark and naughty, I guess. Like me!"

  Jess laughed.

  Kelly took a bite of her cake. "Have you ever felt like a sex goddess - like the most powerful sexy bitch in the world?"

  Jess shook her said - couldn't say she had.

  "Well, that's what S & M does to me. I can't stand just normal sex. It's so mundane. I need bells and whistles! S &M is hot and sexy, and it's like a play - like I take on a new persona."

  Jess nodded and doodled on her pad.

  "It's like the clothes I wear. If I wear a bra and knickers, that's not hot - I wear that every day, but as I zip up my leather cat-suit, I feel like a porn star. When I look in the mirror, I look like a different person and that's sexy."

  Kelly took a deep breath.

  "And spanking itself is such a turn on. It makes me feel so hot."

  "What do you use - just his hand or a whip or what?"

  Kelly grinned. "Different things. I use a whip on him. He tends to use his hand."

  "So, it's the pain slash pleasure thing?"

  Kelly nodded. "Yeah, and the anticipation of it. My husband usually slaps and then rubs, so it's a short sharp shock, followed by a rub, it's either on my arse or my pussy. It's sexy and cheeky."

  "Do you do role play with it, though?" Jess asked, "Like 'I've been so naughty I need a good spanking'?"

  Kelly nodded. "Sometimes we talk like that, but we don't usually act out a whole scenario, or anything. Sometimes I imagine he's my school-master... It's just me and my husband and it livens things up. We do a bit of bondage and submission and stuff. It just makes me horny, I guess."

  "Hey, whatever floats your boat, I suppose," Jess said. She wanted to seem like she had an open mind. And she supposed she did; she just wasn't sure how open. "Do you have, like, safe words and stuff?" She had read about that.

  Kelly shook her head. "No, we usually know when we're out of character or had enough. We're pretty in tune."

  "So what would you recommend for a beginner?"

  "Just his hand will do - then you can feel the soft warmth of his skin as well."

  Jess nodded. "Okay, but no role-play?"

  "Up to you," Kelly shrugged. "Whatever floats your boat..."

  They laughed.

  .

  Later on, Jess considered her boat and what floated it. Was it good to try new things? She thought so. Who would have known how much the sexy pictures would turn her on? Or how good sex on the beach was?

  She had to admit she was enjoying her assignment, but she was concerned with the more risqué things that were coming up as the numbers on the list got higher.

  For now, though, she was just thinking about spanking.

  Not worried, really, after all it wasn't hard-core - it was just her and Max.

  In fact, she was starting to get quite into the idea... she was sure they had a ping-pong set somewhere - she reckoned the bat could work for spanking!

  And she thought that a little bit of role-play could work for this, too.

  She was getting into role-play, and she now understood when people said it made you feel sexier, and that you could push the boundaries a bit, because you weren't being yourself.

  .

  Jess text Max to see if he could bring home one of the judges' robes.

  For the scenario she had in mind, he would need it.

  She also text him some instructions for when he got home - she was looking forward to it now!

  .

  She spent the rest of the day getting ready. She shaved her legs and under her arms, painted her nails red and then, after drying her hair, tied it up in pigtails.

  She wanted to look young, about eighteen - and a bit of a sexy trouble-maker.

  She found an old white shirt and unbuttoned it to show off plenty of cleavage.

  She wore a short pleated skirt, stockings and high heels - the schoolgirl cliché, she knew, but she still felt quite sexy in it.

  She applied bright red lipstick.

  She wasn't wearing any knickers.

  .

  She heard Max come in; she was sitting on a chair in their dining room. She had rearranged the chairs slightly into rows, moving the table to the side.

  She had put an armchair at the front of the room - Max's chair.

  For once, she didn't hear him slam or crash or swear.

  It made a change.

  She found she was already feeling horny, anticipating how this would play out.

  This assignment - whether she had been classed as vanilla or otherwise - was definitely improving her sex life.

  Chapter Sixteen

  Max strode into their dining room, wearing long black judge's robes and holding a sheaf of papers.

  Jess lifted her eyes up to meet his and smiled.

  Max ignored her - well into character - and shuffled the papers together. He laid them on the table to the side of him.

  "Order!" he barked.

  Jess sat up a little bit straighter.

  "Case number sixty nine."

  Jess smiled but made sure not to laugh. She had to get into character now. Naughty school-girl in trouble with the law.

  "Miss Jessie."

  Max glared at her.

  "Stand up, please."

  Jess stood up, aware of how sexy she was looking in her tight blouse and tiny skirt. Top of her suspenders visible and the creamy skin of her thighs.

  Max glared at her, but she could see a softening in his eyes as he took in her outfit.

  "Charges to be answered. Shoplifting."

  Jess lowered her eyes. Really? He could have charged her with being too sexy or something more fun. After all, this wasn't real! Shoplifting?

  She could feel Max's gaze on her.

  "What say you?" he demanded - his voice far more firm than normal.

  Jess raised her eyes and tried to look big-eyed and innocent.

  "I was framed," she said.

  "Explain!" Max's voice was strident.

  Jess wanted to laugh. He was taking this very seriously. "I think the security guard stopped me, so he could grope me, and when he did he dropped the vibrator into my pocket." She shrugged. "I turned him on."

  Max narrowed his eyes. "What shop were you in?"

  Jess pouted. "A sex shop."

  "And you think you were framed?"

  Jess nodded. "He just wanted to touch me up."

  Max shook his head. "I don't believe you. You don't look innocent. You need to be punished. Let the court record show that the defendant will take her punishment in my rooms."

  Max stood up and swishing his cloak around, beckoned her to follow him.

  Jess traipsed out of the dining room and followed Max to the study.

  Max sat on the chair and stared at her.

  "You accept that you need punishment?"

  Jess shrugged.

  "I think a spell in lock up would help your attitude," Max said.

  Jess shook her head and took a step towards him.

  "Please don't lock me up. I'll do anything."

  Max arched an eyebrow. "Anything?"

  Jess nodded.

  "What about a lesser punishment?" Max asked.

  Jess nodded. "I promise I'll be good."

  Max reached onto the desk and lifted up the ping-pong paddle.

  "A spanking?"

  Jess nodded. "I suppose if I've been a naughty girl, I need some punishment."

  Max beckoned her forward. Jess moved in front of him.

  "Turn around," Max instructed.

  Jess turned around.

  "Lift your skirt," Max told her, his voice getting thicker.

  Jess lifted her skirt and smiled when she heard Max's intake of
breath at the sight of her bare backside.

  "Bend over."

  Jess bent over, feeling deliciously exposed. She hadn't thought that she would enjoy it this much!

  But she could see what Kelly meant. It was sexy. She felt sexy.

  Swoosh.

  She heard the paddle fly through the air, and couldn't help but let out a yelp as the hard bat hit her skin.

  Swoosh.

  Max spanked her again.

  "Enough?" he asked, and she could hear the slightest trace of concern in his voice. They had never done anything like this, and she knew he would be worried about crossing the line.

  "I think I've been too naughty to be let off so easily," Jess managed to whisper. She felt so turned on.

  Swoosh.

  The bat collided with her skin again. She could feel her backside was on fire. She bet it was red.

  Swoosh.

  And again.

  She felt like that was enough for now. "I think I need a little bit of kindness now," Jess said. "I promise I'll be good."

  This time it was Max's hand on her backside, rubbing at her sore skin. She moaned. That felt nice - so different after the thudding sting of the paddle.

  "Better?" Max asked.

  Jess nodded.

  "Stand up," he told her.

  Jess straightened up, her skirt falling and covering her bum. She was still aware of the flare of pain on her skin, even though the spanking had stopped.

  "Shall I kiss it better?" Max said.

  Jess nodded.

  "Lay down," Max pulled her close and laid her across his lap - as though he might spank her again.

  Lifting her skirt, he caressed her bum, his touch soft, though his fingers were rough.

  He lifted his knees slightly, lifting her close to him.

  She felt a kiss on her skin and then a lick. It felt gorgeous. She squirmed a little bit - it was so sensitive. The blood was rushing to her head.

  Max kissed, licked and nibbled at her backside for a while and then told her to turn over. Bent the wrong way, she couldn't lie back, so she rearranged herself so that she was sitting on his lap, straddling him.

  Forgetting that he was meant to be a scary old judge, she started kissing him. Really snogging him, her tongue and his playing with each other, nibbling licking, sucking, probing kisses.

  Max undid her blouse and rubbed at her breasts, and then undid her bra. He licked and sucked at her tits, squeezing and fondling her nipples.
