It was supposed to be a secluded beach so you can imagine my surprise when looking up from my romance novel I spotted a man walking along the shore in my direction. Quickly I retied the top of my black string bikini and sat up as he stopped a few feet from me. I was a bit angry and it showed in my voice as I told him, "You know this beach is private?"
"I know and I'm sorry I intruded, but I'm looking for the Smiths," he said softly.
Smiling I said, "It's all right, sorry you caught me by surprise, the Smiths are about a mile further up along the beach."
"Thanks, I'm Scott by the way, Louis Smith's younger brother, I'm staying with my brother for a few weeks," he said as he smiled back at me.
"Nice to meet you Scott, I'm Karen, yeah I know the Smiths pretty good, well I hate to run but I have some things to do." I said as I stood and gathered my beach things and started off towards my house.
"See you around Karen," Scott said as he started towards his brother's house.
Later that night as I got ready for bed I was shocked Scott had stole into my thoughts. I couldn't help noticing how tan and muscular he was during our short exchange earlier. I had also seen he was wearing a wedding ring I frowned to myself I didn't need or want complications in my life right now. So when Louis's wife Shiry called me up the next day to invite me over for a barbarque I declined.
Still mulling over Shiry's invitation as I went out to the mailbox I almost walked right into Scott. "Hi, I was just taking Louis's dog out for a walk," Scott said as he caught my stumble. Laughing he said, "Must be something interesting on your lawn though, I haven't been able to get him to move."
Catching my breath as I pushed away from his body I said, "My dog is a female, must be what he smells." My hands were still trembling a bit a few minutes later as I watched Louis's dog pull Scott off in another direction but I kept telling myself must have been from my almost kiss with the sidewalk.
Staggering a bit in the big dog's wake I heard Scott say over his shoulder, "Wish you were coming to Shiry's barbarque."
Pacing the floor once again my black silk dress whispering against my thighs I thought oh OK I do want to go but not to see him as I snatched up my evening bag and headed out the door before I could change my mind. Shiry always could throw a good party I thought some thirty minutes later as I stood out on their back porch. There were two tables covered in white damask and brimming with assorted salads, fresh fruit, and ice cold beverages. As I sat down on one of the cushioned chairs I glanced over at Louis and Scott turning the barbarqued ribs. My heartbeat quickened a little as I noticed Scott was wearing only a pair swimming trunks a towel slung over his shoulder as sea water sluiced down the hard plains of his body.
Spotting me Scott made his way over and sat down "Hey you did come, I was hoping we could talk more," he said as he turned that sexy grin on me.
"Yeah my prior plans fell through and I always did love Shiry's parties," I said as I smiled back at him I couldn't help responding to his brand of sexy charisma.
Through the course of dinner I learned Scott's marriage was in a sort of hiatus and he was staying with his brother as sort of a break until things could be worked out. I frowned to myself a sexual fling it'll have to be then. I'd given myself up to the inevitability of it. The sexual tension between us was almost tangible. I was surprised Louis and Shiry weren't fidgeting as much Scott and I.
