The Secret Beach

"Although I never would have anticipated, never would have dreamed of one day arriving at this point in my life and in our relationship, this was the place we were both meant to be. Floating in the shadows beneath an endless sunset sky. Hard and hungry for each other and for all the other things we might taste and sample this night. Our bodies gently coming together as our passion flowed through us, warm and unstoppable like the warm tide."
