and damp sand squirmed under her toes.
The Caribbean sunset in the darkening sky, along with the energy
from the other people dancing around her, inspired a wild streak
she didn’t know she had. When Nicole approached her with two drinks
in her hands, Eva grabbed hers and pounded it back easily. The
burning of the alcohol was less now than when she started.
    “God damn, girl!” Nicole shouted over the
music of the outdoor bar.
    “What?” Eva slurred with a mad grin on her
face. She was enjoying the feeling of the soft sand in between her
toes as she danced without restraint. The pulsing music filled her
ears and she allowed her body to bend and twirl with the beat. Now
that she had consumed far more than her limit, she began to take
notice of the men on the beach. Even some of the women caught her
eye. “Isn’t this what you told me to do—have fun?” she said with a
laugh.
    “I guess so. Be right back. I’ll get you
some water,” Nicole said with a soft smile. She was glad that Eva
was having a good time. In the six years that they had known one
another, she had never seen Eva drink so heavily. She couldn’t help
worrying a little.
    Eva hardly noticed her friend’s departure as
she continued to move with the music. She placed her hands in her
hair, feeling the sensuality of the beat throbbing in her core. She
felt alive. She felt more at ease than she could remember feeling
in the longest time. She continued to let the music blissfully
carry her away, and she even closed her eyes to enjoy the sensation
more. She was startled when her foot sunk into a dip in the sand,
and her ankle twisted. She gasped as she lost her balance.
    She immediately tensed up, expecting the
impending impact with the sand. Surely gravity would have its way
with her and she would feel the embarrassing impact of the earth
smacking her in the face. It never came. Her eyes opened slowly and
she found herself supported by strong, masculine arms. Her eyes
traveled up to look into the face of her savior. His features were
powerful, yet still young. A pair of deep hazel-green eyes reminded
her of soft algae, but his jaw line could have been chiseled from
stone. His nose curved slightly, giving him an almost hawk-like
appearance. His sandy blond hair was parted to one side. As he
looked upon her, his full lips formed a half smirk.
    “Are you alright?” the mysterious man
asked.
    The baritone of his voice sent shivers up
her spine, and Eva found herself unable to breathe or think clearly
for a moment. Where had he come from? He might have been a Greek
god who appeared out of thin air just to save her. When she was
finally able to breathe, she found herself inhaling the musky,
masculine scent of his skin. It was divine. Arousal stirred in her
body as electricity coursed through her from his touch. He held her
in such an intimate way that she felt herself growing moist at the
junction of her thighs.
    “Um… I… yes. I just had a little too much,”
she said, laughing at herself in embarrassment and banishing her
thoughts. She was vaguely aware that it was the alcohol causing her
to think this way about a complete stranger. Her lips formed a soft
smile as she looked at the man.
    “I see that,” he said while looking her over
appraisingly. “What’s your name?” he asked politely as he continued
to hold her close against him. His own groin was becoming swollen
as he felt the softness of her breasts against his chest. He gazed
down at her long blonde hair falling around her face and full red
lips.
    She felt the hardness pressed against her
leg and for a moment she forgot her own name. “E…Eva,” she
stammered out shyly. She found herself lifting her leg to rub
against his erection quite on purpose. She felt him groan at the
contact and she felt powerful in that moment. She never allowed
herself time for boys, let alone to feel one this close. It was all
she could do not to pounce on this gorgeous god in front of
everyone.
    “I’m
