Colleen felt dreary. Most of the time her life was very fulfilling, but over the past few months a heavy feeling had settled over her, and she didn't understand why.
Typically Colleen's work as a nature photographer kept her busy. She was able to travel extensively, and what time wasn't spent shooting, she was engrossed in editing. Photography was her profession, and digital art was her main hobby. She had no shortage of "toys" to amuse herself with. The contents of her camera bag and the software on her laptop were more expensive than any car she had ever owned.
Colleen's social life was moderate. She was not an introvert, but neither a social butterfly. She had a small group of very good friends. Andra was a comrade in arms so to speak as a fellow photographer, and Shannon was Colleen's running partner. Even when Colleen's travel prevented her and Shannon from running together, they still synced up their smart phone GPSs each day to compare notes. Shannon was highly competitive and always wanted to run more miles, and faster. Colleen was happy the day she finally ran a 5k in under a half hour.
Colleen wasn't truly built for running, though. At only 5'2", she had to take more steps than Shannon just to go the same distance, and her breasts were certainly no help. While most runners spend their time and money making sure they have the best shoes for their needs, Colleen's first priority had been to find a bra that would hold double D breasts where they belong.
None of the other women in Colleen's family had such large breasts and she didn't know where she inherited them from, but she certainly wasn't going to complain. They were her favorite feature, but far from being her only good feature. Other than her breasts, she was athletic built. Her arms and shoulders were firmly toned, which she loved to show off by wearing tank tops and sleeveless shirts. From so many years of running with Shannon, Colleen's legs were nothing short of perfect. Her calf muscles were well sculpted, and her thighs were chiseled and hard. Her ass was round and tight, and there was no such thing as a pair of jeans she didn't look amazing in. Medium length pale blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a crooked grin gave her a stunning look that made her stand out in a crowd.
The only problem was that Colleen hadn't been doing much grinning lately. Her photos all seemed to be lacking something she couldn't figure out, and running only made her tired instead of making her feel amazing. It was time for a break. Colleen needed a trip that was planned by her instead of her editors, and to only take pictures for fun with no pressure.
Colleen spent her afternoon googling non-typical vacation spots, and decided on Croatia. It wasn't a place she'd ever heard anyone say they were dying to go, but how could she go wrong with so many miles of Mediterranean beaches to lie on and take pictures of? So she made her travel arrangements and started to pack. She was in no mood to waste any time.
The first few days of Colleen's trip were spent primarily on the beach, nude. She was keenly aware that most of the other women didn't shave. A trip to the salon had been one of Colleen's first arrangements before leaving. She'd gotten her under arms, legs, and bikini area waxed. Taking time to shave on vacation was a huge no-no in Colleen's book.
On Colleen's 4th day of vacation, she decided it was time to take a trip inland. She wanted to tour some towns and capture some photos of daily life for the locals. She wore a light weight baby pink sleeveless sundress that came down to just above her knees. It was some sort of synthetic mix made to feel like silk. Colleen didn't care what precisely it was; the important thing was it didn't need to be dry-cleaned or ironed, two more no-no's in Colleen's book, whether on vacation or otherwise.
The fabric was flexible and clung to her body just right, accenting her narrow waist but stretchy enough to not be obnoxiously tight over her full breasts. The skirt was billowy and blew easily in the breeze, and her blonde hair was in a simple braid. She decided to forego wearing a bra today. She got enough constriction when she went running and preferred to breathe more easily whenever possible. The warmth of the sunshine soaked right through her as she wandered around taking various random photographs. It was a perfect day.
When Colleen was ready to go back to her hotel she hailed a cab. She got in and told the driver where she needed to go. Just as they were about to drive off a man suddenly opened the cab door and got in. He said a few words to the driver that Colleen didn't understand, and the driver told her that the man's destination was closer to their current location than hers and they would stop there first to let him out. She nodded her head and sat back in her seat to relax.
It was already dusk when the cab arrived in a somewhat rough looking area of a town. Colleen thought this area must not receive much tourist traffic. Still, the architecture gave it such charm. The driver pulled to the curb, and as the other passenger took out his wallet to pay his fare, Colleen actually took notice of him. She had spent much of the cab ride gazing out the window as the scenery rolled by. And now as the stranger pulled cash from his wallet, Colleen noted his military cropped brown hair, blue eyes and strong build. He was wearing jeans, brown steel toe work boots, and a skin tight black t shirt. Colleen realized as the man stepped out of the cab that she hadn't needed to stare out the window to get a great view on this ride.
