The sound of the waves against the shoreline was a soft rhythm that set the pace for the evening. I could hear it, rhythmic and steady like two bodies matching speed, while I walked to the kitchen to pour a glass of wine. I was lost in thought wishing he were here with me. But alas, our schedules had him in an entirely different city. It didn't matter though, even with thoughts of him burning in my mind, I was in my happy place. I could hear the water and smell the salt air.
Standing there in nothing by my short cheetah print robe and fuzzy slippers, I could feel a breeze blow throw the open windows and shiver chilled me if only a bit, making my nipples erect and only make me think of him more. Dammit, I came here to rest, and get my head straight, not think about him. I had been doing nothing but working and had not taken time to relax in a long while. It was time for a bit of self-care, I chuckled to myself knowing the self-care this weekend would definitely come from the not so "little friend" I had packed in my weekender bag.
Deciding since I was alone there was no time like the present for the bit of release and self-care I needed. I took my glass of wine and walked through the house to the sun porch and watched the sun sink into the water. It was now dark with only the light of the moon shining through the windows. The rhythm of the water only made me wet thinking about just how much I missed him, his touch, his hands on my body.
