Mark was the stud of the apartment complex. All the women who lived there were attracted to him, whether they were married or not. And Sondra counted herself as one of them.
She did not approach him directly, however. She was much too shy to do that. Besides, she greatly feared rejection, believing she was out of his league.
Day by day, she watched as woman after woman came on to him at the apartment pool. Sometimes they would get into the water with him and go for a swim together. That’s when Sondra noticed how familiar they would often become with him.
One of the things she noticed was the way Mark did a lot of submerging and breath-holding. The women always went down with him as though they were competing with him. But he always came up last, long after they’d become winded and had surfaced ahead of him
She had a view into the pool from her second story apartment window. Late at night, she would often look down at the water. There was almost always somebody in it.
She often saw Mark in the water. When he was alone, she noticed he spent a lot of time holding his breath. He seemed to have incredible lung capacity.
Sometimes, Sondra saw him with someone who’d been pursuing him earlier that day. They would kiss and flirt. Then they would submerge together. But the women always came back up before Mark did.
There was very little illumination shining into the water. But when the moon was full, she could tell there was some sort of activity taking place underwater. It made her jealous to contemplate what exactly might be going on down there.
Earlier that day, she’d noticed his most recent swim partner, a married woman named Verusia. She had really come on to him as Sondra watched while she lounged by the pool. She was just close enough to pick up some of their conversation.
Mark had asked her how long she could hold her breath. When Verusia had seductively replied, “Long enough” they had both gotten into the water and had spent quite a bit of time near the bottom of the pool. Sondra’s jealousy had once more reared its ugly head.
She knew what was coming after that. There was almost always a late-night encounter after some woman had come on to him during the day. So that night, Sondra enviously watched from her window.
Sure enough, they arrived separately after midnight and slipped into each other’s arms. They spent some time doing a little necking and heavy petting. Then they got into the water.
There was not much light, other than some illumination reflecting out of the nearby apartment windows with the curtains closed. Sondra saw what looked like a lot of bubbles coming up. Mark and Verusia looked like they were staying down for a really long time.
Once again, she found herself wondering just what exactly they were doing down there. Her angle was such that she couldn’t see them at the very bottom of the deep end. She suspected it was something naughty though, and her lady parts tingled at the thought.
She finally decided to try timing them. Once, they were down over two and a half minutes. Another time, they made it pretty close to three.
They finally climbed out of the water and called it a night. They embraced and kissed before they each went to their separate apartments. Sondra could only imagine what they’d been up to.
—
A couple days later, Sondra and Verusia were lying next to each other in a couple of loungers by the pool. Mark came out and gave the married woman a big smile before diving into the deep end. Three females in their early twenties immediately dove right in after him, and were soon all over him. They were just far enough away that the conversations were unintelligible.
Verusia humphed in disgust. “Just look at them,” she observed aloud. “They’re throwing themselves at him!”
Sondra wanted to tell the woman that was the exact same thing she’d done a couple days ago. But she bit her lip. Instead, she casually asked, “You think they’ll get his attention?”
“Oh, they’ll try. They all want a shot at him. And he’ll play along, of course. But ultimately, he’s got some pretty high standards.”
This intrigued Sondra. She thought maybe she could get some valuable information out of Verusia concerning the apartment hunk. So she nonchalantly asked, “Oh? What kind of standards?”
The woman went silent as they watched Mark submerge. He was immediately followed by all three young women. Bubbles soon started coming up.
“You see that?” Verusia remarked. “They all went down with him. But for him, it’s all about how long they can hold their breath.”
“Why is that?” Sondra wanted to know.
Verusia looked all around as though making sure no one was looking. Then she leaned closer. “Wanna know a secret about Mark?”
Sondra conspiratorially leaned a little closer. “Really? What secret?”
“He told me he can’t cum unless he’s underwater holding his breath. So he always does it underwater.”
“Does what?” Sondra asked while feigning ignorance and naivety, even though she was already starting to get the idea.
“Being sucked and fucked.”
“Oh, really?”
It was as though a light bulb had suddenly gone off inside her. Sondra felt that really explained a lot. It even explained why Mark would go out and use the pool late at night all by himself.
Verusia humphed again as she motioned her head at the deep end. “That’s why those girls aren’t going to get anywhere with him. Just look! They can’t hold their breath worth a damn!”
“I would think he’d want to get sucked and fucked by anyone who was willing,” Sondra mused thoughtfully.
“Not Mark,” Verusia replied, unhappily sounding as though she had first hand experience. “Oh, he’ll see how long they can hold their breath. And he’ll openly flirt with them. But that’s about as far as it’s ever gonna go.”
“How do you know?”
Verusia turned and looked at her for a long moment. Then she leaned closer and murmured, “Can you keep another secret?”
“Of course,” Sondra murmured back as she leaned even closer.
“I had a go at him a couple nights ago. But I could only stay underwater for about three minutes. He let me suck him at the bottom of the pool. But I couldn’t get him to cum. He said he has to be under four minutes or longer. So I finally gave up and got out of the pool.”
Sondra nodded understandingly while remembering what she’d seen that night. The woman had been all over him, both before and after their swim together. Verusia was obviously trying to make herself look good.
They lapsed into silence and watched as the girls in the pool played with Mark. But it was obvious none of them could remain submerged longer than a minute or so. Jealous though she was, Sondra decided she had nothing to worry about from any of them.
—
That night, Sondra went back out in her yellow bikini after the sun had gone down. It was dark, and the pool was empty. It all but guaranteed she would be alone and would not embarrass herself.
She quietly waded down into the water. Then she submerged and swam toward the deep end. She tried holding her breath over by the ladder, but she wasn’t down very long.
She tried again and again. But she just couldn’t seem to stay down long. Worse, she hadn’t brought a watch out to time herself. So she gave up, figuring it was a hopeless task.
That night after midnight, she was lying awake in bed. So she got up and looked outside. That’s when she saw Mark out in the pool by himself.
She timed him as she discreetly watched from her window. By his third breath-hold, he was staying down well over four minutes. Incredible!
What was he doing down there all by himself? Sondra gave it some thought until an answer came to her. Could it be? Was it possible he was getting himself off?
—
The next day, she decided not to go out to the pool like she usually did. She didn’t want to see any other women coming on to the apartment hunk. She knew she didn’t have a chance with him anyway.
That night after dark though, she could not resist going out to the pool by herself for another try. She even took a watch out with her. It wasn’t waterproof, but it had a little light that displayed the time.
She left it by the pool ladder in the deep end. Then she filled her lungs and submerged. Sondra held onto the bottom of the pool ladder, pretending Mark was down there holding his breath with her.
She imagined him kissing her. It made her lady-parts tingle just thinking about it. Then heaving lungs sent her back to the surface.
She came up spewing bubbles. Sondra burst up gasping as quietly for breath as possible. Then she checked her watch.
It showed she’d been down for over a couple of minutes. The number should have been encouraging. Instead, it depressed her.
Sondra didn’t think it was possible for her to reach four minutes. But she’d seen Mark doing it the night before. What might he do with her at the bottom of the pool if she could only match his time underwater?
Sondra decided to try another one. So she went back down and held her breath, doing her best to push herself. When she came back up, her time was just over two twenty.
More improvement. So she tried again. The next time down got her up past two thirty-five. But she was tired and decided to quit, thinking she was never going to make it.
—
The next day she was back at the pool. She was in a blue bikini when Mark came out and went for a swim. He immediately attracted a couple more girls, who clearly wanted to swim and play with him. It made Sondra jealous as hell.
—
Envy made her go back out to the pool that very night after dark. This time, she was in her pink bikini. She loved the color; for some reason it gave her added confidence.
She quietly made her way out to the deep end and placed the watch on the side of the pool near the ladder. This time, she was determined to break four minutes. But her first time down resulted in her barely making two.
Determined, she tried again and again. She kept pushing herself until straining lungs would send her back up. On her last one, she finally broke three minutes.
Getting to that fourth minute seemed hopeless. But she decided to try another one. Sondra was determined to see just how long she could stay down.
She filled her lungs before going back down. This time, she really pushed herself until she had straining lungs. Her stomach kept rippling, but she just grunted as she refused to go back up.
Her chest heaved painfully until she got dizzy, ending her time on the bottom. She shot back up, her breath spewing out past her lips. She checked her watch and discovered she’d actually made three twenty-one.
She suddenly heard movement in the water. When she turned to have a look, her face went beet red. Mark was swimming toward her in a pair of green speedos.
He quietly swam up to her, a friendly smile on his face. “Hi, Sondra. What are you doing out here? It looks to me like you were doing a little breath-holding.”
She blushed again, hoping all the while it was too dark for him to notice. But she decided to tell him the truth. “I am out here holding my breath. My watch is right over there” and she pointed at it. But she found herself mentally pleading for him not to ask why.
He looked at her and then over at the watch lying by the side of the pool. “Oh, really? What time have you gotten up to?”
“Right now, I’m at three twenty. But it’s really, really hard.”
He smiled kindly at her. “You just have to relax and enjoy yourself,” he explained. Then he paused before adding, “Would you like me to show you?”
Sondra wanted to scream out with delight in the affirmative. But she suddenly found that she couldn’t speak. So she nodded excitedly, feeling like a foolish little schoolgirl.
Mark started taking long, deep breaths. Sondra followed his lead. Then they both inhaled deeply before submerging.
They went down to the bottom where Mark grasped onto the very bottom of the pool ladder. His feet were barely touching the pool floor. Sondra grabbed onto the other side, her feet dangling well off the bottom.
She watched as he closed his eyes and concentrated. So she did the same. It was such a thrill having him hold his breath with her that she really had to work to calm herself down.
She didn’t know how long they were down there when she finally opened her eyes. Mark was lightly caressing the bulge in his speedos. There was just enough illumination for Sondra to notice how large it had become. It gave her an erotic jolt something fierce.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked over at her. She didn’t want to alienate him or anything. So she sheepishly started touching herself as well.
It surprised her how good it felt. It also surprised her the way he smiled warmly at her. It made her stomach go all gooey inside.
Sondra tried to smile back at him. But she kept glancing down at his member and the way he was caressing it. She simply couldn’t believe how horny she’d become.
She felt it in her lungs, a growing need to breathe. She tried to push herself until she started losing a few bubbles. Mark smiled as he watched her, still touching himself the entire time.
She finally shot up to the surface, spewing her breath away. She popped up panting heavily, hoping her loud gasps wouldn’t awaken the whole apartment complex. Then she checked her watch. It said she’d fallen a mere thirteen seconds shy of her goal.
Mark came up panting quietly. He saw the watch in her hand and smiled. “So how did you do?”
“I… I almost made four! I… I can’t believe it!”
His eyes twinkled as he asked, “You wanna go back down and try for four?”
Sondra almost melted as she quietly confessed, “I wanna do four so badly!”
Her heart was racing a mile a minute. She couldn’t believe she was about to ask it. But it came out of her mouth before she could stop it…
“Mark, could you… I mean… would you help me… I mean, really help me?”
“When you say ‘help you’, what do you mean?”
She was going to take it back until she saw something encouraging in his expression. Her heart hammered in her chest as she spontaneously kissed him. She felt him return it passionately, and it made her light-headed.
When they parted, she was panting heavily for breath. All she could say was, “I, uh… what I mean to say is that I, uh… I want you to… to really, really help me.”
She could tell by the way he looked at her that he had just made the connection. “Are you sure?” She just gulped and nodded.
Mark smiled at her. “You’re gonna want to get a really big breath for this one then. Ok?” She nodded again, her heart beating fast.
They both took a few deep breaths. Then they inhaled deeply before submerging. They headed for the bottom as Sondra wondered how this was going to work out.
She tried to calm herself as they each grabbed the bottom of the ladder. Then she carefully reached for his suit with her right hand and pulled it aside, freeing his erection. Her eyes opened wide at the size of it.
She slowly took him into her mouth, savoring it. She couldn’t believe this was actually happening! Then she reminded herself that she had to pace herself or she was going to go back up way too early.
She gave him the best underwater blowjob of her life. She’d sucked cock before, so she knew what she was doing. But she really wanted Mark to enjoy it.
He was really stiff in her mouth. It felt absolutely wonderful. Sondra felt giddy she was actually sucking the cock of the hunk of the apartment complex.
She thought about making him cum in her mouth. In fact, she kind of wanted to make him cum in her mouth. But what she really wanted was to feel him cum inside another part of her body more than anything else in the world.
She came off his cock, rose up and kissed him on the lips. It was a passionate embrace, which he readily returned. She could not keep from moaning into his mouth.
He slowly turned her around as they were kissing until they parted. Her back was to him as he reached down and carefully pulled her suit aside. Then he slowly slid his erection up into her.
Sondra groaned up bubbles; it felt so good. He held onto her suit as he thrust up into her. She grabbed his arm with one hand as she tweaked her nipple through the fabric of her suit with the other.
She closed her eyes and luxuriated in the feeling. Gawd; it felt good! She was actually being fucked by the apartment hunk at the bottom of their apartment pool!
Sondra felt a growing strain in her lungs. But she fought it off. She wanted to stay down long enough for him to cum inside her, even if she had to drown to do it!
It felt wonderful the way he pumped her, his cock going deep inside her. She could tell she was going to cum. But she tried to hold it back, wanting Mark to cum first. But could she hold her breath long enough?
He began pumping harder and faster. She felt her lungs really start to heave. But she wanted to stay down… she had to stay down!
He pumped harder… faster. It swelled within her until she just couldn’t hold it back. That’s when Sondra let out a bubbly cry of pleasure.
She was just coming down off her plateau, her lungs on fire, when she felt his warm seed pump into her. It made her shudder again until she became dizzy as hell. Bubbles freely flowed out of her mouth, as she was unable to hold her breath any longer.
Was she going to drown? For a moment, Sondra didn’t care. It would all be worth it.
Sondra suddenly found herself up at the surface, gasping madly for breath. Mark was right there with her. She struggled to get her breath back until she finally panted, “Gawd, I… I felt you cum inside me!”
He kissed her deeply, giving her a lot of tongue. Then he whispered, “I gotta go now.” That’s when he started to climb the ladder, disappointing the hell out of her.
He suddenly paused. Then he turned back to look at her before quietly asking, “See you tomorrow night?” Sondra blinked in happy surprise before nodding her head.
He smiled as he climbed out of the pool. He walked over, gathered up his towel and headed for the exit. She followed him with her eyes until he disappeared around a corner.
Sondra let out a happy sigh. She allowed herself to slip under the surface, bubbling happily. Then she came up, grabbed onto the ladder and slowly got out of the water.
She all but floated back to her apartment, her body thrumming with delicious aftershocks…
