Two wonderful weeks in the beautiful beaches of Hawaii and I was in heaven, I thought to myself, gazing out into a starry sky. I shifted a little and winced in pain. Unfortunately, my first two days had turned me into a lobster! At least...only part of me. Stupidly enough, I'd let myself fall asleep on the wonderfully warm sand, tired from a day of shopping and woke up with one red back! Because of this I also couldn't sleep too much, so used to laying on my back or side, not my stomach.
With a tired yawn, I decide to take a stroll outside of the condo that a few friends and I had rented. All of them were already fast asleep anyway. One of them had also mentioned that soaking my burns in the hot tub would hurt like hell, but eventually take the sting away.
Draping a light shawl around myself and still wearing my one piece suit, I slip on some flip flops and head out. A short walk to the pool area and I find no one around. I smile and pause, enjoying the silence and the faint sound of the ocean as it gently laps onto the beach not too far off. Eyeing the hot tub, I sigh and slowly move to it. Testing the water with a hand, I find it still quite hot, but thankfully the jets weren't running, already shut off for the night. Taking off my shawl, I sit on the edge and swing my legs over and gasp in pain. The back of my legs feel on FIRE! Tears fill my eyes, but I force myself to keep them there, holding my breath until the pain subsides.
A little wiser this time, I bend and splash a little on the backs of my thighs before sliding more of my legs into the water. Concentrating on my task, I don't even notice as you move toward me, quietly watching, "May I help?" you ask in a low, smooth tone. I gasp and jerk my gaze to you.
You smile, "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. I was just about to take a dip myself when I saw you."
I smile a little nervously, quickly taking in your good looks and charming smile, "I thought I was the only out tonight. I don't think I'll be able to make it into this all the way...it hurts too much. Serves me right for trying to tan my stubborn skin!"
You chuckle and slip into the tub, sighing as the warmth caresses your skin...the water like pure silk. You look up at me, finding me quite attractive and having remembered seeing me around the condos with another bunch of people. "So what brings you here?" you ask.
I splash more water on my sore thighs, "Friends. We all decided to come here for a nice long break to relax and have fun. You?"
You shrug casually, "I come here just about every summer."
I laugh softly, "Must be nice to be able to do that. It's beautiful here."
You nod, "So what shall I call you, midnight stranger?" you tease gently.
I glance at my watch, surprised at how late it is and then laugh, "Melissa or Mel for short. How about you?"
You tell me your name, flashing me your best smile and grab one of my feet playfully, tickling my prettily painted toes, "Are you coming in?
I gasp in surprise and wince again, "No, I don't think so."
You shake your head, "Come on, let me help you." With that, you stand and tug me up. I oblige, not sure what to expect, but trusting you enough. You turn me around you can see my sore, red skin, your gaze lingering over my shapely ass before moving on. "We'll get you in here and then you have to let me give you some ointments that I have to soothe your skin some more."
I nod reluctantly and bit back a groan as you begin to splash water over my thighs and back, gently patting my skin. Slowly I step deeper into the tub. "Serves you right for trying to gain color to already perfect skin, Mel." you whisper softly. I shiver, your breath warm and tickling my ear.
Finally you're able to get me to actually sit down next to you, my skin stinging still, but beginning to feel a little better, "Thank you."
You pat my leg, feeling the silkiness and wanting to run your hands up my thighs. You were very sure that the rest of me would be that soft. Closing my eyes I sigh and smile, "Mmmmm...this feels MUCH better. Amy was right...it does take the sting away once you're in."
"Does it hurt when you touch it?" you ask and run a hand around the back of a leg and just barely to the top of my thigh. Warmth rushed through my veins and I look at you, not answering. Our eyes lock and search until I finally look away.
"Even when you touch," I reply, a bit breathless, blushing.
You reach up to touch my cheek and turn my face back to you. Your face is now so close, "I'd love to make you burn in so many other ways, Mel...if you let me."
The attraction is intense and we both can't explain it. Our hearts beating excitedly as our lips touch...teasing gently. You let your tongue trace my bottom lip and find yourself meeting my own, pleasantly surprised as the kiss depends and you carefully pull me closer.
