The black evening sky was dark and clear, stars sprinkled across the blanket centered by a full white moon drifting overhead. The long white strip of Florida coast was overly crowded with college students visiting for the spring-break party-time excursion. A solitary figure stood gazing down the length of sand from her position in the darkness. She felt the salty mist of sea spray blanket one side of her lightly as she began to follow the advancing and retreating foamy edge of water toward the brighter campfires a quarter mile away.

As she neared the first of the camps, she casually let her azure blue eyes look over the chaos of the human swept sandy beach. She smiled at the variety of colors she encountered. Whether it was hair, skin or clothes she enjoyed the bright mix that littered the beach. The dancing flames of the campfires brilliantly lit up the conglomerate of gathered people.

Slim pickings were not on the menu tonight; she licked her lips in excitement. She recognized her definite advantage as she looked over at the intimate groups that kept forming and reforming. This particular stretch of beach held hundreds of people. Yet boiling it down to the basics there were only women and men. Fortunately, for her? the women were blatantly flirting with the women, and the men were doing the same with the other men. She smiled at her fortune at finding a gay beach.

Her mid-length raven-dark hair was casually brushed behind an ear to give searching eyes a chance to survey the variety of women. Her sun-caressed bronzed skin barely showed the light sprinkling of tiny white laughter lines resting at the crinkling corners of her eyes as she gifted a gorgeous smile toward a very attractive brunette sitting at one of the campfires. To her surprise, the brunette almost immediately turned her gaze away from the dark haired seductress walking along the beach. She shouted to another to gain their attention, but the campfire blocked the dark blue eyes from seeing whom she had called.

She had almost decided to turn and continue further down the beach when her vision was suddenly filled. A sandy haired goddess stepped from around the rising blur of heat centered at the campfire. Blue eyes roamed with pleasure over a skimpy forest-green bikini top barely holding two full breasts at bay. The delicious sari-wrapped curved hips, the generous bust line, and the unbound long flowing blonde hair had the gazing woman licking her lips once again in sudden dryness.

The shining hair reflected the burning flames of the campfire as the petite woman crouched down near her friend the brunette. The dark haired beachcomber drew a shaky breath at the spectacular sight. The still sitting brunette motioned swiftly toward the lone figure standing down by the water's edge. The blonde turned to see her.

Their eyes met. Captivated, dark eyes were mesmerized by the inner shining emerald light of the softest eyes. They reminded her of the greenest of tropical seas. She felt weakened from the moment. Her dusky lips parted with the urge to speak. Their distance was too great. She moved closer to the flames, dark eyes focused on her prey for the night.

The blonde watched the raven-haired woman slowly move toward her. The backdrop of the dark ocean pulsing behind, and the full moon's glow from above added to the mystic nature of the woman's aura. The growing light falling against her bronze skin allowed the blonde a glimpse of the long legs moving from within the diaphanous light blue wrap she wore, toned and muscular, they flexed with each step into the sand. Broad swimmer's shoulders were draped with thick locks of midnight black hair. Green eyes dwelled momentarily on the high pert breasts wrapped in a pure white bikini top. The appealing package was breathtaking and it stole her rhythm; she forgot to breathe. Without hesitation, the blonde moved forward into the magnetic pull between them. They met at the outer edges of the glowing light floating out from the campfire.

"Hi." The blonde smiled up at the tall dark woman, a gleam of interest sparkling apparent in the depths of her green eyes. The dark blue eyes looked down and hoped the blonde recognized the same gleam reflected back. Their bodies moved slightly closer without hesitation. They both smiled.

"Hello," the raven-haired woman said in husky tones. The blonde drew in a deep breath. "Would you take a walk with me, down the beach?" The taller woman asked as she leaned forward to whisper her request into the delicate ear of the smaller woman. She stood back up to watch a flush of pink heat suffuse the soft skin before her. Her strong bronzed hand instantly caught a floating blonde tendril in the breeze and returned it back to the shoulder it rose off of. She let her fingers slide down the bare skin; lightly stroking over the smoothness she wished to kiss. The blonde shivered at the bold touch, and hesitating for only an instant, she moved back toward the campfire and again crouched down by her friend.

The taller woman stood frozen in surprise at the instant thought of being turned down. The moment passed with relief as the smaller blonde quickly rose to return to her side. Bravely the blonde reached over and grabbed the taller woman's hand in her own. She clasped their fingers and stepped off toward the much dimmer moonlit beach strip.

"Let's walk," the blonde commented softly.

They walked without talking, their bodies' movements adjusting to each other swiftly. The night sounds surrounded them, enveloped them into the night. Quite far now from the campfires, the blonde looked over at the taller woman and met her darkened eyes. By mutual consent, they slowed their walk to stop, and stood together under the stars and moon.

"Kiss me!" The blonde implored. The taller woman smiled and leaned down to capture the soft plea from the rose-colored lips. They merged together in a ritualistic dance of passion. The larger body wrapped around the smaller as they deepened their connection. Lips were invaded as tongues stroked each other. Large hands cupped full breasts as smaller hands reached around to grasp and pull tight the firmly toned ass of her seductress.

They moaned together.

They broke apart from lack of air, and thick ebony hair fell onto the smaller shoulders and mingled with the blonde tresses hanging there. The resulting blend made a beautiful landscape as firm lips caressed down the arched length of a neck; teasing thumbs rubbed over turgid nipples through the bikini cloth.

A hard thigh was insinuated between legs as they moved closer to each other. The blonde's soft cry of ardor erupted at the flexing of corded strength pressing into her damp center. The soft growl of frustration broke into the romantic midnight air as the impediment of clothing, modesty insisted they wear, stopped progress. Long fingers reached for the ties and tangled with smaller hands already there.

Their passion filled gazes met as they separated slightly. The blonde tugged on the single string holding her top up as she watched her lover's roaming eyes devour her from afar. She felt her tight nipples point freely outward as she slowly lowered the restraining material that covered them. The gleam of hunger from her companion's eyes had the blonde cupping and lifting her full breasts in supplication, hoping they would be devoured. The wet heat of her dark lover's mouth sucking inward one of the offered nipples had the blonde clenching her thighs at the gush of her body's wetness. The other nipple was soon treated to the same delicious suction. Her cupping hands were covered by larger hands and pressed together. Closing the distance between nipples, the widened mouth and tongue of her lover pleasured them both together.

Knees weak and heart racing, she felt the strong arms of her lover wrap around her guiding her down onto the white sandy beach. A chill moment of the cool sand against her fevered skin, and she was once again swept away by the liquid heat of her lover's kiss. A flash of white cloth and the two bodies were topless. Touching breast-to-breast, nipple-to-nipple, hip-to-hip, they joined together. The give and take as they rocked in concert flowed endlessly between them. One gasp, one moan, the heat grew within.

Soon hands sought to remove the last barrier. Small hands twisted the clinging silk urging freedom. Large hands quickly dispensed with both wraps as the two women moaned into their complete embrace.

Fingers slid downward to part the coarser hair and delve into the moist core. The blonde arched as her body sung in harmony. She wrapped her strong legs around the larger woman and pressed against her. A hiss of exquisite pleasure became a groan of pure wanton heat as a finger plunged inward. Two deep strokes and a single digit were joined by another. The giver and the receiver relished the sensations as they tightened their bodies together. The fragrant perfume of their sexual arousal coated the air as they pulsed to the symphonic drum of the ocean's rhythm. In and out she plundered brushing against the hardened pebble of her clit. The blonde panted as she rode the controlling hand. She thrust onto the dual invasion as she sought to crest the growing orgasm. Her body fluttered its final warning as she cried out her completion.

A single tensed arch of her body had her cresting over the splendor-filled wave of bliss. She floated over the vast emotions as her lover drew out the feelings with her skilled fingers. Deep in her body she trembled and wept at the magnificence she was given. Her clutching hands slowly pulled the other woman up and near to share her pounding heartbeat as she whispered her amazement.

The dark haired woman gave a hiss of surprise as the smaller woman pressed a leg into aroused flesh. The blonde pressed a shoulder and flipped them in the sand. She sank down to flick her tongue over pert breasts, as she slid her own nimble fingers downward. The wet heat she touched had her craving to taste the ambrosia. She crawled down the flat hard plane of her lover's stomach and licked her tongue across the sweaty skin. Looking upward, she locked eyes with those watching royal blues. She lowered her mouth and blew a breath of hot air onto the moist juncture below. A gasp from above had her smiling. She dipped her tongue into the wetness, and murmured her enjoyment as she began to invade the delicious folds. Holding the hips tight she pleasured her lover into a quivering orgasm as her tongue danced over and over the prominent hardened pearl of desire.

She rested between the legs of her lover as they both recovered. Their bodies were trembling in the night. The sandy beach cocooned their encounter as the moon watched from above.

Warm strong arms pulled her upward to wrap around her and protect her. She melted into their strength. Their bodies entwined, they fell asleep to the pounding rhythm of the ocean's love song.

Dark blue eyes opened as a distant light illuminated the sky at the ocean's far horizon. Her eyes widening rapidly, she started to rise in a panic. Her body was held tightly by her lover's grasp. She paused a moment to frown and gently brush back a soft golden strand of floating hair. Her eye absorbed the smaller woman, as she lay tucked into the breeze-blocking chest of her lover. For a moment, dark eyes became soft with a faint hint of sky. The moment passed, as she felt the heat from the now rising daybreak touch her naked form.

She carefully removed the warm hands and stood to look down on the curled body of her lover. She covered her quickly with the wraps they had worn and then moved off down the beach. She reached the boulders she had noted as her exit, and still naked, walked out into the early morning waters of the rolling ocean.

Her black hair whipped in a fury as she entered waist high. The wind and waves knocked against her yet were unable to defeat the firm standing she held. As she watched the first ray of sunshine cover the dark and murky waters she felt a tingling in her feet. The tingling became stronger as the sun's rays spread faster toward the beach 300 feet behind her. The first touch of sun against her shoulders had her gasp in pain as she suddenly lost her footing. The rolling waves swamped over her head as she caved downward. She felt the incredible aching pain as she drew in a water-filled breath.

Her lungs filled with the tangy salt water even as her feet locked together and fused during her transformation. She felt the inner eyelid drop to allow her eyes to focus under water as she watched her calves and thighs thicken with an outer skin made of scales. She arched her hips forward in agony as she attempted to expel the saltwater back out of her body. The final moment of change had her drawing in another oxygen-filled breath of H2O.

She looked back over her shoulder for a moment looking toward the beach as the fantastic memory of the small blonde invaded her mind one final time. If only? she smiled softly feeling a single bursting bubble flare in her heart. She wondered what her name was?

Whipping her now strong merman fin toward the open sea, she headed for the deeper waters she called home. Her parents might need help in their kelp harvesting, and she had spent many nights roaming the beaches for the perfect lover. She thrust hard with her strong tail and moved swiftly outward.

Following the beach sands shelf, she came to the steeper drop off and shot downward without fear. Her arms close to her sides she used her tail to propel her down. The uncovered torso she held arched slightly felt sensual as the colder waters slipped down its naked length. Her normal cooling body temperature dropped to match her surroundings as she plummeted still deeper. The darkness of the ocean's floor seemed daylight to her refocusing eyes.

From the corner of her peripheral vision, she caught a shining element further across from where she swam. She squinted her eyes to gaze at the falling object miles down the beach line and shook her head in denial.

With a sudden gasp, she stopped her descent and began a tremendous dive to intercept the shiny element. As she sped the length of three football fields, her hunter gaze sharpened. She smiled in triumph, as she grew closer to her prey. The shining spot had stopped moving. The raven-haired woman fairly flew to the still form.

Within scant lengths of the brilliant colorful element, she stopped her bullet descent and flipped her tail over her head to somersault into a braking halt. She eyed the creature she hunted with her royal blue eyes. Floating slowly over she reached out and ran her fingers through the shining yellow hair floating in the depths of salt water. She moved to within a breath of the now floating mermaid she recognized as her human-formed lover.

Projecting the question that had burned in her mind for the last hour she pushed her thoughts toward the other woman.

A soft and gentle reply echoed in her mind. She nodded at its perfection.

Her name was 'Sandy'.

With the ultimate rush of something long yearned for, she swept the blonde nymph into her arms and twirled her around and around as they danced through the water. She thought her feelings toward her lover and felt their return. They would join. They would mate. They would bond. The dark haired hunter fairly bubbled her exhilaration and satisfaction as they took a moment to entwine their arms and share a kiss. Her fishing days were over.
