The Couple in the Cove Accepted My Indecent Proposal

What I’m about to tell you is true, believe it or not. I always thought that paying for sex only existed in internet videos, setups with actors and cheap scripts. Until that July morning.

I’d just been paid my monthly wages in cash — my boss is still stubborn about handing it out that way, a nuisance — and I decided to celebrate in my own way: beach, umbrella, and the whole day to myself. As soon as the heat hits, I always keep the trunk loaded with gear, so I went straight from work, stopping only to buy something to eat and a couple of beers I put in the cooler.

I parked and walked to my favorite spot: a narrow cove at the end of a good walk, wedged between the sand and a wall of rocks. People make it there with a stroll, but they almost never stay, because the water is full of stones. That’s why I like it. It’s usually empty.

I set up the umbrella, spread out the towel, put on sunscreen, and lay down in the sun. After a while I went for a swim and, when I came back, I found I was no longer alone. Tucked against the rock wall, stuck in the sand, there was another umbrella lying on its side. Whoever was behind it was completely hidden. Or someone had forgotten it there, I thought.

I dried off in the sun, stealing a glance every now and then. Nothing moved. Curiosity got the better of me and I got up to take a walk parallel to the rock, as if it meant nothing. The sand burned. When I got close to the wall, I saw it: half a girl’s back and one arm, and the legs of a guy lying down. She was moving her hand quickly, with a motion I knew well. She was jerking her boyfriend off.

Just then she turned her head and caught me. I tried to play it off as best I could, bent down as if picking something up from the sand, and went back to my towel with my heart racing. She had stopped dead. And my mind started scheming.

***

Before going on, let me introduce myself. My name is Tomás, I’m forty even though I look quite a bit younger. I’m a normal guy, lean and wiry from all the training. Nothing out of this world, but I know I’m attractive, especially to younger girls. That has always given me a certain edge.

A few minutes passed and the little couple came out from behind the umbrella and headed for the shore. They glanced at me sideways, unsure how much I’d seen. I guessed she was twenty-one: brown-skinned, sun-tanned, not very tall, slim but with a good chest and a small, perky ass. She wore her hair in a high ponytail and a white bikini tied at the hips. A stunner. He was her type too: lean, dark, wearing red swim shorts and with the same face as someone not yet twenty-five.

They went into the water to play, kissing and hugging. I thought they’d end up at it right there, but no. He came out first, looking pissed off, and disappeared behind the umbrella. She stayed a little longer, and when she finally came back, she squeezed out her ponytail, wringing the water from it. That gesture, for some reason, drove me wild.

I had to act fast. When she passed near me, I spoke to her.

—Excuse me…

—What? —she stopped.

—Sorry about earlier. I saw the umbrella lying down and thought someone had forgotten it. I couldn’t make anything out behind it. I ruined the moment, I know.

She blushed a little.

—Oh… It’s fine. Bye —and she kept going.

That confirmed what I already knew. Up close she was even better: narrow dark eyes, full lips. I watched her ass move as she walked away and knew I had to try.

***

I waited about ten minutes, thinking over the next move. Then I grabbed the cooler and went over to their umbrella.

—Hi —I said.

—Hi —she replied, not too enthusiastically. He peeked out and looked at me without saying a word.

—I was wondering if you’d like a couple of cold beers. I just bought them; they’re freezing.

They looked at each other, surprised. Without waiting for an answer, I opened the cooler and held out two cans. They took them. The three of us drank a few sips.

—Look, I really want to apologize —I said—. It wasn’t my intention to spoil your moment.

—Okay, apology accepted —she cut in.

—Yeah, but I don’t want to leave it at that. I’d like to make it up to you.

—Make it up how? —the guy sat up, wary.

—I’ll lend you my umbrella. I’ll put it next to yours and between the two of them they’ll make a little enclosed nook between the sand and the rock. Nobody would be able to see you from the beach. So you can be… alone.

They laughed, half uncomfortable.

—So you’re lending it to us so we can finish fucking —he blurted.

—Put like that it sounds more direct, but yes —I smiled.

—Relax, Iván —she said, tugging his arm when he made to stand up.

That’s how I learned his name was Iván. I went to get my umbrella and my towel and, without asking permission, set them right up against theirs, creating that little hidden enclosure. They were arguing in low voices. Then I reached into the bag, pulled out my wallet, and left two sixty-euro bills on my towel.

—And that? —he asked.

I got serious.

—I’m giving you one hundred and twenty euros to watch you. That’s my offer.

—Hey, hey! Don’t push it, man! —Iván jumped to his feet.

I wasn’t scared. He was a kid; I could put him down in a second if I had to. But I didn’t have to.

—Relax —I said without moving—. I’m going to do this: I leave the money here and step away to the shore for a few minutes. Talk it over. If when I come back the money is still on the towel, it means I stay and watch. If it isn’t there, I’ll pack up my things and leave the beach. Think about it.

—There’s nothing to think about! I’m not any whore! —she snapped.

But neither she nor the bills moved from where they were. I went back to the shore. From far away I could hear them whispering, their murmurs carried off by the wind. The fuse was lit.

***

Ten endless minutes later, I came back. Before looking at their faces, I looked at the towel. The money was gone. A shiver ran through my whole body.

—Looks like you talked it over —I said, squatting down.

—Only because we need the money, all right? —he muttered.

—Fine by me. I’ll sit on this rock so I can see you and warn you if anyone comes onto the beach. Okay, Lucía? —I asked, looking at her.

She nodded begrudgingly. Lucía. Just the name made me hard.

Iván lay down and pulled his shorts down. Lucía came over and started stroking him, first slowly, then faster, with thin fingers that seemed miraculous. I savored watching that lucky bastard’s cock grow.

—Are you going to suck it? —I asked.

—That’s not included in the price —she said in a shrill voice that turned me on.

—Do what you were going to do. If you were going to suck it, go ahead.

She tilted her head, let her ponytail fall to one side — I’d swear so I could see better — and started licking the head. As her tongue went in and out, my cock got harder and harder. I put my hand in my trunks.

—What are you doing? —Iván asked.

At that moment Lucía looked me in the eyes without stopping sucking him. I pulled it out. They both stared, surprised at how thick and heavy-headed it was. She looked at it for a second.

—Can I jerk off? —I asked.

—Yeah —he said, not convinced—. But don’t even think about trying anything else.

***

I started touching myself while she sped up. I took out another sixty-euro bill and left it on the towel.

—And that? —Lucía asked.

—That’s for you to fuck your boyfriend. I want to see you ride him. Don’t let him come yet.

—I don’t know if this is right… —she hesitated—. First a handjob, now this…

To my surprise, it was Iván who took the bill and pocketed it.

—Come on, babe. This guy’s probably seen a thousand chicks. Nothing’s going to happen to you if you show him how you do me.

Lucía stood up over him, moved the bikini fabric aside, and revealed a shaved, small pussy. My heart kicked into overdrive. She lowered herself, he guided his cock, and she welcomed it with a couple of little blows of breath. In seconds she was riding him hard: ponytail bouncing, tits squeezed inside the bikini. I was stroking myself standing up, outside their field of vision, while she looked at me and played with her clit.

I took out another bill. We were already at two hundred and forty.

—There are conditions if you want to accept this one —I said, stepping on it when she reached for it—. One: you strip completely. Two: Iván comes when I say. Three: while he fucks you, you suck me and lick my balls.

—What?! —they both shouted at once.

—Go to hell and take your money with you! —Iván threw all the bills they already had at me.

I gathered the wad calmly, stacked it, and set it back on the towel.

—Two hundred and forty euros. I don’t know how you live or care, but with this you can get out of more than one jam. Think about it. I’m going to the shore for ten minutes.

—Get lost! —Lucía shrieked.

***

More than fifteen minutes passed. I’d already written the money off when Iván appeared beside me at the shore, dressed, without the bills.

—It’s true we’ve got money problems —he admitted, no longer sounding violent—. Lucía’s parents washed their hands of her. We live at my parents’ place, we’re both studying, and my parents are unemployed. If we do this it’s because we need the money. She’s crying back there, but she knows we’re keeping it.

—That’s fine. That way everyone wins —I said.

—You’re a pig.

—Maybe. But I saw how hard you got while she was looking at me. Besides the money, you’re also doing it for the thrill. You’re young; you’ll forget this, or who knows, maybe it’ll open up your horizons.

—Let’s keep going. I don’t want to drag this out —he said, and went back to the umbrellas.

Lucía was drying her tears, still wearing her bikini.

—If you need a little longer… —I offered.

—Let’s start —she cut me off.

She unclasped the top and her tits came free, with the white triangle the sun hadn’t touched and pink, pointed nipples. Then she took off the bottoms. I pulled out my cock, hard as a stone. Lucía brought Iván back to full hardness with her mouth and climbed on him again, this time with no barriers. I let them find their rhythm, delighting in those tits bouncing, in her parted lips taking thrust after thrust. They were enjoying themselves; for a moment they seemed to forget I was there.

***

I took off my trunks completely and took a couple of steps. My cock ended up a handspan from her face. I glanced over the umbrellas: the beach was still empty.

—Come on —I said—. Start.

Lucía opened her eyes, saw my dick up close, and looked up. Her eyelashes were still damp from the tears before, and that image made me as hard as concrete. She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. I rested the tip on it. Her mouth was hot. I held her ponytail gently and pushed it in while she moaned. Iván, underneath, didn’t take his eyes off us, fucking her faster because of some silent jealousy.

—You’ve got such a tight mouth —I said.

—Don’t call it that —Iván protested.

—Relax, those are just my words.

I guided her mouth down to my balls and she licked them with a skill I hadn’t expected. I took the opportunity to lean down and cup her tits with my hands; they fit just right, spilling over a little. Surprisingly, neither of them complained. I felt her mouth vibrate around my cock: she was really starting to enjoy it.

I took out another bill and we were up to three hundred.

—Now I want to eat your cunt until you come. And from here on out, as a game, we talk dirtier.

Lucía shuddered just from hearing it.

—It’s just a game, nothing more —I insisted—. You can join in too. Even insulting me, if you want.

—All right —Iván gave in, pocketing the bill—. But only with words.

I laid her down and spread her legs. I stroked her clit and lips; she was soaked.

—I’m going to eat you out until you can’t take any more —I told her.

—Yes… eat me out, bastard, stick your tongue in me —she answered, already getting into the game.

—What are you saying, Lucía? —Iván said, shocked.

—I’m going along with this guy’s game.

—Well then, watch and learn, kid —I said to him—. Or she’ll end up dumping you for some guy who knows how to do this.

And I launched into one of the best blowjobs of my life. Lucía came at least three times, biting the back of her hand so she wouldn’t scream louder than the cliffside. By the time I finished, we were both soaked in sweat.

***

—That’s it, right? —Iván panted, jerking his cock—. Tell me to come and we’re done. We take our cut and we never see each other again.

I still had one fixed idea in my head. I remembered I was carrying my whole month’s pay. I took out four more bills and stacked them on the towel.

—Five hundred total. I want to be the one who finishes. I want to fuck her.

—No way! —Iván planted himself a handspan from me—. Take that money and get lost.

—Take it, man —Lucía said, putting her bikini back on.

I moved my things aside a little, leaving the bills in plain sight.

—There they are. That’s all I’ve got —I lied—. Five minutes. I’ll give you another ten to think about it.

—Get out! —Lucía came over and threw the wad in my face. Some people who had just arrived at the start of the beach turned their heads, but didn’t move.

I went back to the shore, already convinced I’d be going home with my balls about to burst. Twenty minutes passed. I was packing up when I heard her voice behind me. I hadn’t felt her come up.

—Hey… —Lucía said, head down—. We talked it over. Just five minutes. And only for the money.

I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t move a muscle, in case they changed their minds.

—My boyfriend is behind the umbrella wanting to smash your face in. He doesn’t know if he’ll be able to stand watching.

—He doesn’t have to stay —I said calmly—. I understand.

***

We gathered up the umbrellas and rebuilt the hiding place from before. Iván came over to me with his jaw clenched.

—Listen carefully, bastard. I’m going to be watching closely. If she screams my name or asks me to come over, I’m coming for you.

—Of course. That’s not going to happen —I said.

Lucía took off her bikini again and lay down. I knelt between her legs, still wet from before, and slowly slid into her. She let out a long moan, the kind you can’t fake. Iván looked away, out of his mind, jerking off without quite wanting to watch. I fucked her unhurriedly at first and then hard, feeling Lucía’s body stop resisting and start answering me, seeking me, tightening around me.

When I felt she was close, I pulled out and finished on her stomach, not touching her face or mouth, respecting even that much. Lucía stayed lying there, catching her breath, staring up at the sky as if she still couldn’t quite believe what had just happened. Neither could I.

—I hope we see each other again —I told her as I got dressed—. Will you give me your number?

—No, no… —she replied, wiping herself off.

We dressed in silence. She went to the shore to find Iván and I packed up quickly, before he got the urge to come back with one last jealous attack. I’ve been back to that cove a few times since, but I never saw them again, and I don’t think I ever will. And even today, when I remember it, I still wonder whether it really happened.
