By the time Adam arrived with the fish and chips, I had found a spot at the end of the beach away from the crowd where I could let Molly off the lead. I stood in my bikini at the water's edge with her.

Adam put the bag with the towels on the sand and sat. "Jasmine."

Molly raced across the sand and jumped on Adam, shaking sand in his face.

"Shit...piss off, Molly!" he yelled.

I laughed and called her. She sat at my feet as I clipped the lead back on her collar.

Adam dusted himself off. "What is this? Are you both ganging up on me?"

"No, she's excited that you're here."

He huffed and opened the fish and chips.

I held onto Molly's lead, and rubbed her with a towel, then wrapped one around myself.

Adam sat silently, staring at the water.

"Are you shitty now?" I asked. "She's your dog, and you know how excited she gets."

He side-eyed me. "Yeah, I'm shitty. The bitch scratched the crap out of me and filled my mouth with sand. Aren't I allowed to get shitty?"

"Yes," I laughed. "But it's done, and now you're sooking. Are you a girl?" I placed a chip in my mouth and cocked my head.

Adam grumbled and stared at the water. "I'd feel better if my girlfriend were a bit more sympathetic."

"Aw...poor baby. I'll take you for a swim soon and wash the nasty sand off you."

He tilted his head in my direction and grinned. "Will you wash it off my whole body?"

I rolled my eyes. "Just from your hair and mouth, dear."

I spread my towel on the sand, then I dug in the bag for my hat and sunscreen. I felt Adam's eyes on me, so I picked up my piece of fish, broke it in half and said, "Did you get fish?"

He shook his head but didn't say anything.

I held out one half. "You want some?" Adam shook his head again, so I asked. "You don't like fish?"

He shook his head once more with a gloomy look on his face.

"Now you're not talking to me." I laughed. "Is that right?"

Adam ran his eyes over my body and got to his feet. "I'm going for a swim."

He took off his shirt and walked towards the water. Molly whimpered. I clutched her lead so she wouldn't follow him. Grinning, I studied the muscles on his body as he walked and thought, yes, he was very hot.

Once Adam was in the water, I unclipped Molly. She bolted to the water's edge but wouldn't go out as far as he was. This was a good thing. I hate trying to swim with a dog clawing at you.

I finished eating, wrapped the leftovers and walked towards the water. Adam watched me as I entered the surf, and he turned his back on me. I grinned to myself knowing he was doing it on purpose because he wanted me to suck up to him. I laughed, thinking I'd play along with his silly game.

When I got close enough, I put my arms around his neck, climbed onto his back and wrapped my legs around his waist. "How long are you going to sulk for?" I whispered in his ear and then sucked on his lobe.

Adam laughed and spun me around so I faced him. "How long are you going to be a bitch?"

I laughed with him. "I don't know. I quite like being a bitch. It's the new me." He ran his hands up my legs and under the elastic of my swimwear, causing them to get caught in my backside. I squirmed and pulled the fabric from my bum. "You're giving me a wedgy."

"That's okay," Adam said, grinning. "Wedgies suit you." He put his lips on mine before I could reply. I kissed him. Adam let his fingers creep towards my core and touched me.

I laughed against his mouth. "You won't give up, will you?"

"No," he whispered, then kissed me harder as he touched me with more determination and then said, "Jasmine, I can't go back to before we first had sex. I'm sorry, but I don't have the strength to do that. I love you, and making love to you is how I show it. Please let me love you."

I didn't answer, I sighed against his mouth, kissed him and undid the halter tie of my bikini so my breasts touched his chest. Adam groaned and shifted his grip on my body as he undid his shorts, then tugged the crotch of my bikini bottoms aside so he could push against me. I'd miss this side of him. I gasped and shuddered with pleasure as he eased inside of me.

"Jasmine..." he gasped. "I missed you so much." He gripped my hips. It didn't take him long to finish. Adam held my body tight against his as he struggled to breathe. "Sorry. I wanted to make you happy, but I couldn't control it."

I murmured, "I like that I can do that to you."

Adam kissed me again. It wouldn't take him long to recover and want me again.

We held and kissed each other. It was wonderful, like discovering each other all over again.

A woman yelled from the edge of the water. I drew my mouth away. "Adam," I mumbled against his mouth. "Someone is calling us."

She waved her hand, holding Molly by a piece of rope attached to her collar.

Adam groaned, "Molly."

We released each other. He did up his shorts, sighed and said, "She must have wandered. We'll have to go. Fuck! This is the story of my life." Adam grinned and touched my face before he swam to shore.

I fixed my swimmers and made my way to the shore.

The woman beamed at Adam and swept her dark hair behind her ears, saying, "I found her on the road near the take-away. I was there when you pulled up earlier." She glanced in my direction and then held her hand out towards Adam. "My name is Eve."

Adam crinkled his brow, took her hand and said, "Thanks...ah...I'm Adam."

Eve blushed and giggled. "You're kidding me, right?"

I smiled to myself, understanding the reason for his expression and wondered if I should step in, but decided to watch how he handled her.

"Thanks again," he said as he undid the rope and held Molly by the collar. He handed the rope back to her. "My girlfriend's fault. She was picking a fight with me."

I bit my lip to stop smiling. "Yeah..." I lifted my hand in a wave. "My fault. I guess you should thank Eve for breaking it up."

I sauntered up the beach to the sound of Adam's laughter.

I heard him say, "Hey, thanks again, but I gotta go and finish that argument."

He left her standing with a dumbfounded look on her face, and then raced after me and tackled me to the ground. I screamed and giggled as he tickled and held me down so Molly could lick my face.

"Adam! Stop!" I had sand everywhere when he finally let me go.

Eve was nowhere in sight.

I dusted the sticky sand from my stomach. "Look at me! You're a prick."

"Now you know how I felt when Molly did it to me." Adam laughed.

I gave him the bird and got into the water.

Jasmine! What happened to sticking to you resolve? 

I hate sand being all over me, how about you?
