Slow Sated Sunday

Hello all.

I know it's been awhile since I posted a prompt for Slow Sated Sunday, and for that I apologize.

Old age has made me forgetful.

So to make up for it, let's have some outdoor sex, which can be anything from canoodling in a hammock to sex on the beach and anything in between.

Just remember the sunblock and bug spray. Don't want certain sensitive parts to get injured.

Do what you will. Fluffy smut all the way to outright porn is happily accepted.

Remember Pool Party is still going on, so don't be afraid to jump in the water is lovely and cool.
