Mom never sunbathes before noon, so I go to the beach alone. And I’m never coming back the same.
I’m nineteen, a consciously hot young woman, feeling like I could conquer the world. But when I notice Alina on the beach—Mom’s friend from her student days—my confidence melts away.
I hide in the water, but she catches me by the buoys. Underwater, her hand makes a promise. A promise that erases the old version of me. Now, I am just a heartbeat, counting seconds until she delivers.
Alina and her husband are filthy rich. Their yacht is taking up all the space in the small Croatian marina. But I don’t care about the shiny diamonds. It’s her eyes that trap me. The way she looks at me—like I’m the only thing in her life she can’t own.
Out of all the women in the world she could have—she chose me. I don’t even care why. I just want to see what she does with me when she gets me alone on her yacht.
A 12k-word erotic novelette with a hopeful HFN ending. Three escalating encounters that turn a summer vacation into a total obsession. A forbidden age-gap romance that proves love at first sight is the most dangerous game of all.
