It was dark outside, and my cup of tea was empty. I was ready for a bath, and maybe I could catch the stranger if I was quick. He was still out there. I don't blame him. The evening appeared calm, with no wind in sight. I started a bath and filled it with bubbles. The soft scent of lavender helped with my growing anticipation if I were to be in time to meet my dark, tall, and handsome. I giggled to myself. I am such a funny lady. I giggled amused by my own little jokes. I let the clothes fall to the floor and stepped into the hot water: ''Ahh...Just what the doctor ordered.'' The hot water felt blissful after the long journey. It seemed to heal my body and soul. I closed my eyes, the wood was crackling in the background and besides the bath bubbles popping there was not a single sound. Serenity. In my blissful state, I forgot why I ran a bath in the first place. I sat up in a panic! Got out of the bath and started searching my luggage for a shaving kit ''Aha!'' I exclaimed in victory. I peeked through the window and oh no! He was getting out of the water! Bummer! I stood frozen, bubbles slowly sliding down my naked body and dripping on the wooden floors. And then I realized! I am standing fully naked in front of a window that's fully lit! ''What an idiot!'' I ran over in panic and shut off the lights. Unsure if he noticed me. My heart beating uncontrollably. I slumped against the floor, still naked, still wet. ''What a day...'' I mutter to myself, starting to shiver I return to the bath with a shaving kit in hand.

I slide back into the bath defeated. But it doesn't take long till the hot water eases my disappointment and I am daydreaming of my handsome stranger. My pussy is freshly shaved, and my hand wanders down to it. A soft moan escapes me. I imagine him knocking on my door and without words, we end up in the bath together. I am between his legs, my back is pressed up against his chiseled chest. He starts slow. First, he caresses my breasts. squeezing and rolling my nipples between his fingers like ripe grapes in the summer. Then his hand slides down pulling me by my waist closer to him, making me feel his hard cock now pressing back. And then he finally gave it to me. His hand where my hand, down from the clit to the entrance, back to the clit, and then thrusting deeper, his strong hands working me like a fine instrument. I am fully moaning, not stopping till I climax, and am breathless. I slide my fingers out of my puffy pussy, totally spent. Lavender bubbles are fully taking over. I am feeling sleepy I get out of the bath, and wrap a towel across my body, it clings to my curves as I reach down to drain the tub. I am still horny, so I slide under the covers fully naked and rub my nipples once more till I fall asleep.

I am awakened by the early morning sun blazing through the open windows. It is 6 AM, but it's already incredibly bright. It is another postcard-perfect day. Bittersweet, a slight sting deep in my chest, I try to shake it off by getting my first cup of coffee of the day. I got a good nights sleep, but somehow the pain has sunk its teeth too deep and I am exhausted. I glance out of the window, the sun is high and the beach looks so inviting, so I venture out. I imagine my neighbor is still asleep. The sand under my naked feet is still cold, but that will soon change. I sit down and just take it in. After a few minutes, I can hear footsteps behind me, I look and see my tall, dark, and handsome walking up to me with outstretched hand: ''Ī am sorry to bother you, Miss, I just wanted to introduce myself, I understand you are my neighbor the foreseeable future?'' He smiles, ''Name's Daniel, but you can call me Dan!'' I look back, the sun is bright so I shade my face with my hand trying to see his face: ''Nice to meet you Dan, my name's Michelle! Yes, that's right, I am vacationing here. Are you going for a morning swim?'' Instead of shaking my hand he turns it gently and pretends to kiss it: ''Nice to meet you, Michelle! What brings you here? And yes I am, would you care to join me?'' I nod: ''That would be nice,'' I say, placing my coffee cup in the sand and throwing off my beach throw that I was wearing over my bikini, ''As to what brings me here, just some peace and quiet.'' He looks nervous: ''I hope I didn't intrude, I am sure to leave you be from now on, just wanted to introduce myself.'' I laugh: ''Don't be silly, I thought I wanted to be alone, but now that I think about it, some company would be nice. Last in the water is a rotten egg.'' I take off and he follows me in a sprint. We hit the water simultaneously and as we swim out we begin chatting, just 2 bobbing boys out in the ocean.

''So, tell me, why does such a cute guy wants to live alone 24/7? I am sure you have a girlfriend or wife?''

''Nope, I am single, just a lone captain.'' he laughs as he says the last part.

We circle each other like sharks ready to attack: ''Funny, I am single too.''

''I don't believe that for one second!'' he splashes me with some water

I am shocked but don't hesitate and retaliate. We laugh and the playful fun makes me forget why I am here.

We swim and chat some more until completely spent we run out of the water and collapse in the hot sand.

''I came here to escape my heartbreak.'' I look deep into his beautiful emerald green eyes, ''and honestly, this is the first time I have laughed like this in a long while. Thank you.''

''He's a fool to ever break your heart.'' He reaches out to move hair out of my face and I let him. His touch is gentle and I put my hand on his to hold it on my face. Only the ocean is breathing while we hold our breath.

My hands slide down to his forearm and up his bicep. None of us dares to speak. His stare locked onto me I do something I would have never done before, but I feel he is my ticket to finally piece myself back together and I am not letting him slip through my fingers. You only live once. I reach out, holding his face, and kiss him. And if he chose to rip out what was left of my heart and run away, I would let him. But something tells me he would never do that. And he pulls me on top of him, his kiss burning as hot as the sun above us.
