Beach Volleyball Bump

Winning at any cost sometimes means changing the game

In "Beach Volleyball Bump," I was still very much on the gangbang wagon, but clearly hopping off the "hipster" section. Granted, Hannah Wilde's inspirational "Hipster Gangbangs" features only two or three actual hipster stories; but from the start I didn't want to tie myself down to any particular theme for my gangbangs.

Of course, themes do emerge from these stories, as they're wont to do. The biggest repeating theme, I think, is the competitive nature of the heroine. In "The Pinball Queen's Debauch," Olive wants to beat the Acid Queen table, and getting banged while doing it just makes her victory that much sweeter. In "Mashed on Moving Day," Nikki gets the ball rolling with a challenge: make me come faster than my favorite vibrator (the victory itself being prize enough). And in "Pounded at Pirate Land," Denise is pushing her own personal best to make her summer the sweetest ever by landing two (or three) cocks that have evaded her efforts.

Dani in "Beach Volleyball Bump" takes competition to a potentially unhealthy level. She and her friends from the college volleyball team are on spring break, and should be relaxing with drinks on the beach and boys (and girls) in the cabana. But when a co-ed volleyball tournament draws her attention, she can't be distracted: Dani is all about victory at any cost, and by any means necessary. She's even willing to change the game she's playing to be sure she comes out on top (or bottom, but as a definite power bottom)

Girls' volleyball was a popular sport at my high school, but it wasn't one that interested me a great deal. I had a couple of friends on the team, and I went to some games, but it always felt like a poor substitute for the main sport of that season, boys' football. My sport (as detailed in my chapter on "Cassie Clears the Bases") was softball — or, really, keeping stats for the softball team.

Since then, though, I've come to appreciate volleyball a lot more. There's a frenetic energy to it, and a lot of close communication has to happen among teammates under pressure. Unlike baseball, which can be a stately game of geometry, volleyball is fast and intense, requiring not only lightning reflexes but also quick wits. And Dani demonstrates all of those qualities in both games she plays with the Peterson U guys: the actual volleyball game, in which her teammates drop out one by one until she's facing all four on her own; and the gangbang, which she directs from the middle of the action.

"Beach Volleyball Bump" obviously owes quite a bit to the beach threesome scene in "How I Won Spring Break". I liked the chase in that story, and I wanted to revisit it; the prey that wants to be caught by the predator, but not too easily, is a nice trope that gets the juices flowing and the nerves tingling.

One of the things that I didn't especially approve of in "How I Won Spring Break," but went along with all the same, is the sand situation: Tiffany in "How I Won Spring Break" doesn't concern herself nearly enough with the fact of sand. Have you ever had sex on sand? It's often great in the moment, but afterward, well, it can be more than a little itchy if you didn't make sure there's a towel under you. And in that chase scene in "Beach Volleyball Bump," there's no time to grab a towel. That's why I insisted on having Dani passed around a circle, held aloft for her fucking, so as not to get her dainty bits scratched up by the sand.

I had to resort to a scribbled diagram for this story to keep that suspended fuck straight. I wanted to be sure that Dani is described accurately as she's passed from cock to cock, with the Peterson U guys demonstrating perfectly orderly teamwork. Do readers notice this attention to detail? I suspect — I hope — that most readers do not. But maybe, just maybe, there's a stickler out there who would be completely thrown out of the mood if there was an error in order, and so for that reader I made sure the correct order was maintained. You're welcome.

"Beach Volleyball Bump" ends on a bit of a cliffhanger — Dani invites the guys back to the cabana later that evening, but she hasn't cleared this with her teammates, who may be a bit displeased with her after the volleyball debacle. I've got plans for a sequel (and prequel), which may come to fruition in the winter when I'm longing for the sun and have pulled this story out of the Amazon exclusive program so it can be rebundled for a longer tale.

This story has done a little better in Kindle Unlimited than "Pounded at Pirate Land," and a little worse than "Mashed on Moving Day," coming in at just under 10% of its revenue from KU reads. I think the cover is probably to thank — it's a nice cover, lots of pleasant pink, and definitely a companion piece to "How I Won Spring Break."
