Ursula von Resel considered herself a woman of the highest pedigree. Her family were of old Prussian stock, lording over their land as grafs, not the highest but certainly not the lowest nobility. However she was merely the second daughter, so her parents married her off to the second son of another family of landed gentry, Frederick von Resel. Her new husband proved to be a tremendous bore, almost offensively so seemingly lacking any drive or motivation. That was until one day he pulled her into their drawing room with a wide grin on his face. Ursula had never seen him so excited and was beginning to wonder if his brother had passed and he was now heir. Oh if only the news had been half as pleasant. As it turned out her husband had managed to acquire a position on an agricultural development mission to southern Mexico of all places. Worst still it would require them to move there within the next 6 months. She could not believe it, being forced to leave her comforts for some humid, filthy environment that was terribly unbecoming of a high-class lady such as herself.
Yet even still, there she was on the docks of Cancún, the sun blasting down on her pale neck. She could feel the elaborate white dress she wore stick to her skin with sweat, and strangely that wasn't the worst part. The eyes of the many bronze-skinned Mexican dock workers and laborers lingered on her. As Frederick worked with the coach driver to load their luggage onto the back of the stagecoach, one of these dock workers, a large man with rough hands and a swarthy complexion came behind her and delivered a firm clap to her bottom. She could feel her heart skip a beat and yet she didn't say anything, only look back to see the man give her a smirk and walk away. Her face was still a bright red when she climbed into the carriage and when Frederick questioned her about it she stated it was merely caused by the heat.
The ride to the train station and the subsequent trip on the locomotive proved to be uneventful, yet Ursula couldn't get the action of the swarthy Mexican man out of her head. Worst still were the accompanying heart flutters and odd sensation between her legs. Eventually the train grinded to a halt at a small wooden station and the couple got off with their luggage in tow. It didn't take long before some workers came over to assist in the carrying. All four of them were of average height with coffee colored skin and wearing their work clothes. They relieved Ursula of all the bags she was carrying, insisting she not carry anything. While a bit flattered by this gesture as they continued their walk towards her new residence she could feel them eyeing her up. Their eyes focused on the curves of her hips, how her bottom bounced as she walked, her blonde hair, and pale neck. She managed to ignore it all the way to the new house she would be calling home for the foreseeable future. It was a white, wooden two-story building in good condition though still a downgrade from the grand estate she had lived in previously. The servants came out and began taking the luggage from the workers.
