It was a bright, sunny day, unusually cool for late August, but beautiful nonetheless. Melissa walked along the boardwalk, trying to shake off the sadness that seemed to have crept into her bones over the last few weeks. Everywhere she looked she saw lovers: sitting on the grass feeding each other from paper plates, cuddling on benches, walking hand in hand, newlyweds having their photos taken beneath the white garden arch, parents watching their kids on the playground.
Melissa sighed. It had been so long since she'd been with anyone. Her last date had been a year ago and it had ended badly. She'd attended six of her friends' weddings in the last two months. She was beginning to wonder whether she was destined to spend the rest of her life alone.
She stood on the boardwalk looking out at the lake for a while, letting her thoughts wander. She turned to head back home when she came into contact with what felt like a brick wall. The man grabbed Melissa's arm to keep her from falling. Her skin tingled at the contact.
"I'm sorry," she said nervously, to the stranger she'd bumped into. Melissa was a fairly tall woman but had to tilt her head back to look the man in the face. He had to be 6'3" tall. He had short, brown hair and brown eyes. He also sported a goatee. Melissa had a weakness for men with facial hair.
"Are you all right?" the man asked in a deep baritone voice. Melissa felt her knees go weak. "Whoa, easy there." He tightened his grip on her arm as he placed the other on the small of her back. Melissa could feel her panties dampening.
"I'm fine," Melissa said, embarrassed. "I just got a little lightheaded, that's all. I haven't eaten since lunch."
"Let's go sit down on the bench," the man said, guiding her to a bench in the nearby gazebo. He helped her sit down.
As she sat down, he took the opportunity to get a good look at her. She was a very beautiful woman, long brown and green eyes. She was tall, probably about 5'9". She had the longest legs he'd ever seen. He felt himself growing hard at the thought of those long legs wrapped around him as he drove himself deep inside her.
"Thank you," Melissa said, looking at him. "You're welcome. My name's Sean, by the way," he said, extending his hand.
"Melissa," she said, placing her hand in his. His large hand seemed to swallow hers. She wondered what that hand would feel like touching other places on her body, like her increasingly damp pussy.
"So, Melissa, what brings you out here today?" Sean asked, trying to diffuse the tension between them.
"Just trying to clear my head," she answered, moving away from him slightly. "How about you?"
"I was on my way home from work," Sean replied. "I decided to walk along the boardwalk before heading home."
"What do you do?" Melissa asked, truly interested in his response.
"I'm a construction worker," Sean said. "How about you?"
