The Librarian and the Assassin, a Sapphic Romance at the End of the World - 29. Chapter 29 - Swimming

The drag kings of Mermaid’s Throne performed late into the night, and Tawni was grateful that she had not been made to get onstage, like Miles Tone had teased earlier in the evening.

It was very dark with only a crescent moon as the group of seven made their way to Gray’s Beach. Miles had hooked arms with Cristyl, and they were leading the way. Alotta Cox was behind them, and he was arm in arm with Cobalt Steel on one side and Woody Ramrod on the other. Harry Manback was the only person Tawni and Bix had met that evening who decided to call it a night when the show came to an end.

Tawni and Bix were at the back.

“Kind of surprised that you pushed for the skinny-dipping,” Bix whispered. “Are you sure you’re okay with all this? I know the idea might make you feel a little uncomfortable, but I think we’re going to have fun!”

Tawni was glad for the dark; she knew she was blushing uncontrollably. “Yeah, I’m okay. Being with you makes me want to be more.”

“Tawni,” Bix said in a serious tone, “there’s so much to you. You’re a wonder, and you keep surprising me. I’m so freaking in love with you!”

Tawni’s breath caught at Bix’s words. “Bix, I love you so much,” she managed in a trembling voice. “Please stay with me.”

“Oh, I’m yours, Tawni.”

Cristyl called out to the group, “We’ve almost reached the beach!”

A moment later, they were there.

To Tawni’s alarm, everyone, including Bix, began stripping off their clothes and draping them over the old benches that lined the beach.

Bix winked at Tawni as she unhooked her own bra, removing it from her full breasts.

Only Alotta had larger breasts than Bix’s, and they were much larger. He peeled his pasties off his big nipples with a sigh.

Tawni was struggling not to think of Alotta as a woman; the king’s body looked like a woman’s body to Tawni. She knew Miles and Alotta were men, regardless of what she thought about them, but their physical anatomy was helping her feel a little more comfortable, and she began to disrobe. As each of the others removed their clothes, most of what was left of Tawni’s nervousness decreased. She felt comfortable as if she was among only women. It took the three clowns and Cristyl the longest to remove everything they were wearing, but soon the seven were naked beneath the faint light of the moon.

Tawni was the only one trying to cover herself.

The individuals before her each had such unique bodies. Tawni was the slenderest, and Cristyl was close in size but easily six inches taller. Miles was short and muscular, as was Cobalt, but Woody was significantly bulkier than the other two clowns. Bix was curvaceous and voluptuous, and Alotta was fat and gorgeous. Tawni had very much enjoyed being against Alotta’s thicc body.

“Let’s go!” Cobalt encouraged, and she and Woody splashed out into the water followed by Alotta and Cristyl.

“You ready, babe?” Bix asked Tawni, who nodded. They headed into the gentle waves, and as they got to their waists, Bix added, “I love being naked.”

She said it in a sultry tone that made Tawni inadvertently reach out for her beneath the water. Tawni’s fingertips came to the curve of Bix’s hip, and Bix stepped against her, wrapping Tawni in her arms. Their breasts pressed together, and the lovers kissed.

“I love you, sugar,” Tawni breathed as their lips separated, and Bix went weak. She then squeezed Tawni even tighter. They kissed again, with the waves rolling around them.

The group of seven floated together in the water, and the performers discussed their fellow artists’ acts. Bix and Tawni did not know some of the other kings who were talked about, but the pair could not help but laugh along as some of the stage artists were playfully mocked and others were celebrated.

The naked bodies bobbing in the surf together comforted Tawni in her nudity. At one point, she found herself between Alotta and Bix, and Bix gave her a shove through the water toward the big trans man.

“Come to daddy!” Alotta growled playfully. He grabbed Tawni’s wrist, pulling her into another hug, and Tawni found herself trapped between Alotta’s very large breasts.

Tawni looked up into his eyes and stated, “You’re a man.”

“Yup,” Alotta replied.

“And you’ve got boobs.”

“Yup.”

“You’re a man with boobs.”

“You got it.”

Tawni smiled and nodded. “I like you.”

Alotta laughed. “I like you too, little dumpling.”

The group swam and gabbed for over an hour, and they were exhausted when they finally headed in to shore. No one put their clothes back on, even though Tawni was ready to dress herself. The others only each pulled on their shoes. They all grabbed their garments, but as the group began to head back into the neighborhood, Tawni could not help but yank her clothes onto her wet body.

Bix did not protest, but she chuckled and shook her head. She focused on the others. “Where are you headed now?”

“I’m beat,” Miles declared.

“Yeah,” Cobalt agreed, “I’m ready to head home.”

“Not me,” Alotta proclaimed, “I’ve got this big D energy pulsating through me, and I need to find some lucky person to share it with.”

Bix glanced back at Tawni. “What do you think, babe?”

Tawni’s eyes went wide, and they shot from Bix to Alotta and back to Bix. “I’m not sure I’m ready to get naughty with Alotta.”

The other six burst out cackling.

“That’s not what I meant at all!” Bix replied.

Alotta tried to subdue his laughter. “Tawni, what do you think it would take,” he asked, “to get you ready to get naughty with me?”

Tawni was mortified, but the others just laughed.

“Tawni, I was asking what you felt like doing next tonight,” Bix clarified, “not do you feel like banging Alotta, although that does sound like a titillating good time!” She shot Alotta a wink, who flashed a mischievous grin back at her.

Tawni’s curiosity focused on Alotta. “Do you like men or women?” she asked, but she realized those terms were too limiting for what she actually meant. “Or…” She paused as she attempted to ask about other people who were like Alotta. “Or do you like men who were women, or women who were men?” Tawni looked around at the others. “Are there more groups of people than that?”

Alotta repeated Tawni’s words back to her. “Men, women, men who were women, and women who were men? Yes.” She smiled. “There are many more types of people than just the four you’ve listed, and I can love people of all kinds! I’m pansexual, as in gender-blind. I’ve never seen myself as a woman, even though I’ve got these big titties and a hot punani.” Tawni had never heard the word punani, but Alotta gestured at her bare and bushy crotch, and Tawni did not need to guess what she meant. “What about you, little dumpling?”

Tawni thought for a second. She wanted to say that she could be attracted to anyone, like Alotta, but Tawni was not certain that was true about herself. She glanced at Bix, who she knew only was interested in other women. Tawni had attempted a relationship with a boy, but she had not thought about being with men since him.

“I think I like women,” Tawni replied.

“You think?” Alotta questioned with a laugh. “Aren’t you the expert on what you’re into?”

Tawni looked at the group of naked individuals around her, and she was suddenly feeling nervous again. Every one of them bore the appearance of a woman in her eyes, even Miles and Alotta, who she knew were men. All of the others were smiling at her, but Tawni focused on the two transgender men.

“I don’t know all the different types of people that are out there, but I know I like women.” She glanced at Bix and back to Miles and Alotta. “But I also like people who are like you two. I think I could have relationships with any type of person who…” She paused because she did not want to say looks like a woman to Miles or Alotta, and she struggled to find the right words to express her feelings.

“Your attractions are primarily toward femme-presenting people,” Alotta offered. “Is that about right?”

Tawni’s eyes moved over the six nude individuals and their unique body types. “I think each of you is really sexy,” she confessed in a trembling breath that made them all coo and paw at her.

Miles leaned close to Bix, nodding at Tawni and saying, “If I were you, Bix, I’d take your hottie home to bed.”

Bix’s eyes were full of desire, and they were locked on Tawni.

“Yeah,” Miles confirmed, and he reiterated, “I’d definitely be heading home with my lady now, if I were you.” Bix let out a growl at Tawni that made Miles laugh, and he declared, “You two are so hot!”
