The Hotel Pool That Changed Everything That Night

Water has always given me what other things can’t. I wouldn’t even know how to explain it properly: the temperature, the pressure, the way it wraps around every inch of skin all at once. When I’m in the water I forget everything I’m supposed to be and I’m just me, Sofía, with no further complications.

I’d been at the Hotel Mediterráneo for four days on business. Conferences, presentations, business dinners with people who smile too much. The days ran late and the nights, at least, were mine.

From the first day I saw the pool. Big, rectangular, with underwater lighting that turned it an almost impossible blue at dusk. During the day there were families and couples. After ten, according to the laminated sign at reception, the bar service closed and the area was “for guests only.” I took that as an invitation.

***

On the fourth day I got everything ready slowly. I showered, dried my hair, and sat in front of the bathroom mirror with all the time I like to take. I pulled from the bottom of my suitcase the set I’d brought with a vague but persistent intention ever since I made the reservation: a black lace bodysuit with thin straps, fishnet stockings, and a tiny matching panty. Clothes to feel good in, not for anyone else.

The lubricant was in my toiletry bag. I took out the toy that travels with me everywhere and that I know well by now, and took my time putting it in place. I put lubricant on my fingers and stroked my ass slowly, tracing circles around the hole until the muscle gave and I could slide in one finger, then two, opening myself patiently. When I pressed the toy to the entrance and pushed, my own ass swallowed it with a wet sound that made me bite my lip. The feeling of having it inside, firm and snug, pressing against my prostate every time I clenched my glutes, instantly transformed every movement into something different. I sat on the edge of the bed and my center of gravity shifted, and I knew the night was going to be exactly what I needed.

I pulled the sarong over myself and went down the hall with my flat shoes in my hand, unhurried.

***

The pool was empty, just as I’d expected. The bar was closed off with a symbolic chain between two steel posts. The loungers were stacked beside the fence. A single outdoor lamp was on in the corner, and the light from the bottom of the water tinted everything blue.

I left the sarong folded on the lounger farthest from the entrance, took off my shoes, and went down the metal steps that led into the water from the shallow end. The first touch was a beautiful shock: hotel-pool water temperature, neither cold nor fully warm, perfect for that hour in May.

The stockings clung immediately. The bodysuit did too, tightening where I liked it to tighten, giving where I wanted it to give. And the toy responded to the movement of the water, to every step I took toward the center, shifting just barely inside me in a way that made me close my eyes for a second and stand still. I felt the fabric of the panty cup my cock, which was already starting to swell beneath the lace, and how the bodysuit squeezed my balls as if they were part of the choreography.

I started swimming.

I don’t swim with technique. I swim to feel. Slow strokes, changes of direction for no particular reason, moments when I simply floated on my back with my eyes on the stars visible between the clouds. The wet fabric, the weight of the water, the steady motion traveling from the toy upward and gathering somewhere between my stomach and my throat.

After twenty minutes I dove for the first time.

At the bottom, which was just under three meters at the deep end, the silence was complete. The sounds of the city disappeared. All that was left was the water pressing against my eardrums, the distorted blue light from above, and my own hands moving over the soaked lace. I touched myself slowly, fingers searching through the fabric until they found my hard cock, cupping it over the panty and masturbating myself with short, tight motions, while my chest began to squeeze from the lack of air. I clenched the toy with my glutes and felt the response shoot straight up, clean and direct, the plastic pressing me inside exactly where it needed to press me. I slid a hand under the lace, grabbed my cock skin on skin, and gave myself two, three quick strokes before my lungs started screaming.

I came back up without finishing. I didn’t want to finish yet.

I repeated the sequence several times: swim, dive, touch myself on the bottom until I was out of air, come back up. Each descent was more intense than the last. I had fallen into that spiral where the body asks for more and the head is so busy feeling that it stops processing anything else. On one of those dives I pulled my panty halfway down my thigh and jerked myself with my whole hand, feeling my hard cock and the warm water sliding between my fingers, the swollen head begging for more than I could give it without drowning.

I was on the bottom, fingers pressing the panty against my body and lungs on the verge of giving out, when I saw the shadow at the edge of the pool.

***

I surfaced fast. Took a breath. Turned.

There was a man sitting at the opposite end, feet in the water, a beer bottle in his hand. Mid-thirties, dark hair, wrinkled linen shirt. He was watching me with the expression of someone who’d been watching for a while and had no intention of pretending otherwise.

I stayed still, heart racing and not quite sure what to feel. It wasn’t exactly fear. It was the sudden awareness of having been seen doing something very much my own, something I hadn’t planned on sharing.

He lifted the bottle in greeting.

“Good evening,” he said. Calm voice, no hurry.

“Evening,” I said back.

“You’ve been here a while. Is the water okay?”

“Perfect.”

A silence. He took a sip of beer without taking his eyes off me.

“I’m Marcos.”

“Sofía.”

He set the bottle on the floor, stood, and took off his shirt in a calm motion, without announcing anything. He jumped into the water feet first, sending a wave that reached my neck, and swam straight over until he was a meter from me.

“Does that bother you?” he asked.

“Depends what you do,” I said.

He smiled. A brief smile, not too much.

“Nothing you don’t want me to do.”

***

We spent a while swimming together without touching. Sometimes we drifted close and the current he made brushed me like a caress. Sometimes he looked at me in a way that was hard to misread. I looked back too: the broad shoulders, the big hands, the neck where the tan line marked the edge of last summer. His swim trunks clung to his body and from where I was I could see perfectly the bulge between his legs, already hard, pressing against the wet fabric.

I dove under.

And he dove after me.

At the bottom he found me. He took my hands slowly, carefully, as if making sure I wasn’t going to pull away. He looked at me for a second. Then he kissed me.

It was a long kiss for underwater, with no air to waste. His tongue entered my mouth hungry, searching for mine, and his lips were firm and the kiss had that intensity of things done on pure impulse, without calculating the consequences. When we started to rise we let go, and when we reached the surface we looked at each other, breathing a little hard.

“It’s been a while since I did something like this,” he said.

“Kiss underwater?”

“Stop thinking before doing something.”

His hands settled on my waist. Not squeezing yet, just there. I put mine on his shoulders and we kissed again, this time with time and air, tongues tangled and his warm breath against my face, and his hands slid down my back and learned the shape of the wet bodysuit, the waist, the curve of my hips. When he reached the panty and felt the end of the toy, he paused. But at the same time he also felt my hard cock pushing against the lace in front.

He looked at me.

I didn’t pause.

“I’m trans,” I said. “In case you needed the data.”

He processed it. It wasn’t a second of discomfort; it was a second of adjustment, which is different. Then he kissed me again, slower than before, and one of his hands slid down in front and squeezed my cock over the panty, measuring me without shame.

“That doesn’t change anything,” he said against my mouth. “If anything, the opposite.”

“Good,” I replied.

His fingers went back to the toy, explored it with curiosity and care, and began to move it. Just an inch, two, testing my reaction. When I moaned softly against his neck, he pushed a little more, almost pulling it out entirely before burying it in me again, while his other hand kept wrapping around my cock over the wet lace. I rested my forehead against his neck and closed my eyes. The water kept pushing all around us. Somewhere at the far end of the pool, the underwater lights flickered. I took one hand to his trunks and squeezed his dick over the fabric: it was hard, thick, long. My mouth watered.

“Sofía,” he murmured.

“Yes.”

“I think we’ll handle this better somewhere else.”

I looked at him. He had a smile that was half question, half promise.

“I believe you,” I said. “Let’s go.”

***

We got out of the water dripping. I grabbed the sarong without putting it on, because it no longer made sense. We walked down the tiled corridor leaving a trail of water, him with his linen shirt hanging from one shoulder and me with my stockings clinging to my legs. A couple getting out of the elevator looked at us with the expression of people who don’t understand the context. I didn’t care.

My room was 412. I opened it with the key card and we went in.

The bedside lamp gave off little light, just enough to see each other well. Marcos closed the door and looked me over completely, unhurried, with no comments. That kind of look that doesn’t need words because it already says everything.

He came closer and unbuttoned my bodysuit very slowly, from the neck down, with fingers that were still cold from the pool water. When he let it fall to the floor, he stepped back to get a better look at me: the wet fishnets clinging to my thighs, the soaked, transparent panty marking out my hard cock, a thread of pre-cum staining the lace. He nodded slightly, as if confirming something he already knew.

“Come here,” he said.

***

I went. He planted his mouth on mine and pushed me against the wall. His hand went straight to my panty, slid it aside, and grabbed my cock skin on skin. He started jerking me with a closed hand, squeezing well, while his tongue invaded my mouth. I yanked his trunks down and freed his cock: it was even bigger than I’d guessed underwater, thick at the base, the head red and swollen, already leaking. I grabbed it with both hands and worked it slowly, feeling it throb against my palms.

“I want to taste you,” I told him, and I knelt without waiting for an answer.

I licked the tip first, savoring the salty liquid that was coming out, and then I took him all the way into my mouth. I sucked his cock hungrily, closing my lips tight around the hard flesh, letting it go all the way to the back of my throat until I gagged, swallowing saliva and pulling it out in strings that dripped down my chin. Marcos grabbed my hair with both hands and started fucking my mouth without asking permission, thrusting his hips against my face, and that made me even harder. When he pulled out, my cheeks were red, my eyes watery, and there was a line of spit from my lips to the tip of his cock.

“Stand up,” he said, voice rough. “To the bed.”

He laid me face down, lifted my hips, and took off my soaked panty by pulling it down to my knees. He saw the toy still in my ass and smiled. He grabbed it by the base and started fucking me with his hand, in and out slowly, while with his other hand he spread my glutes to get a proper look. I was moaning into the sheet, my cock trapped between my stomach and the mattress, leaking pre-cum everywhere.

“Look at you,” he murmured. “So wet and still asking for more.”

“Take it out,” I panted. “Put it in me yourself.”

He pulled the toy out with a slow jerk that left me empty and throbbing. I heard the crinkle of packaging, the snap of a condom, and then felt the head of his cock rest against my hole, testing. He pushed in slowly, taking ground centimeter by centimeter, and my ass, already open and well lubricated, swallowed him all at once in one long thrust that tore a moan out of me from the bottom of my chest.

“Fuck,” he let out. “You’re tight.”

And he started fucking me. For real. With his hands nailed to my hips and his thrusts getting deeper and faster, crashing into my ass with a wet noise that filled the room. He drove into me all the way and almost pulled out before burying himself again, and every hit pushed me against the mattress and sent a rub from underneath into my trapped cock that was driving me crazy. I begged him not to stop. I begged him to fuck me harder. Marcos grabbed my hair and yanked my head back, fucking me from above like he wanted to split me in two.

Then he turned me over. He put me on my back, opened my legs, and went in again. Now we were looking at each other. He put his thumbs in my mouth and I sucked them. He brought one hand down and grabbed my cock, jerking me in the same rhythm as he was fucking me, and every time he went in all the way he hit exactly where he needed to hit me inside. I felt the orgasm rise from very deep down, long, dense, unstoppable.

“I’m going to come,” I warned him.

“Come,” he said. “Come for me.”

I came in bursts, with my cock in his hand and his buried to the root in my ass, splashing my stomach and chest with hot semen while my whole body shook in waves that didn’t end. It wasn’t loud or dramatic: it was long, deep, one of those orgasms that starts before you know it’s already arrived and ends after you think it’s already passed. Marcos came soon after, without pulling out, thrusting hard three, four times with his eyes closed and a tightening in his jaw that I felt before anything else, emptying into the condom with a muffled groan against my neck.

He collapsed on top of me, sweaty, still not coming out. We stayed still for a while. The air conditioner hummed. Outside, somewhere, a car braked sharply and someone honked.

***

“How many more days are you staying?” Marcos asked, not moving.

“Three. You?”

“Four.”

He lifted his head and looked at me with something in his eyes I recognized as relief. I nodded a little, without commenting on it. No need.

I settled against him, my skin still damp and my body pleasantly heavy, with his semen dripping inside me after he finally pulled out his cock and the condom. Before falling asleep I thought about the empty pool, the blue water, all the nights I had spent alone doing exactly what I wanted and feeling good about it. Without regretting any of them.

And I thought that sometimes life gives you something different from what you were looking for, and it turns out it was exactly what you needed.
