Summer Sun

She stretched her body slowly under the relentless heat of the midday summer sun. To say the heat was intense was an understatement - it was a hair's breadth from unbearable, but it was nothing compared to the heat that continued to burn inside of her. 

She delicately massaged the edges of her swimsuit to expose her hip bones - she didn't really want to be completely naked under the sun, but the thrill of exposure combined with the grasp of sunlight on her bare skin was too much to resist. 

The heat of the sun encapsulated and gripped her like a lover gone far too long who has spent too many nights fantasizing alone. The intensity forced her to arch her back, allowing the slight breeze to rush along her breasts and under the small of her back as beads of sweat glistened against an impeccably blue sky. 

She twisted her hips as she arched, hoping to ease some of the tension coursing through them. The dark wicker of the chair burned into her side as she rotated - it hurt, but she pressed into it, feeling the sensation throbbing through to her core. Her skin was left red and radiating as she turned her body over. Her breasts compressed against her ribs and her hips dug into the cushion, reminding her far too much of closing in on a lover...

A sigh escaped her lips as she rested her head on her book. While she thoroughly enjoyed the escape Ford Prefect provided, the intensity of her energy was not exactly suited to the adventures of the galactic hitchhiker at this moment. 

After unhooking her swimsuit top, she rolled her bottoms lower and tucked the edges to expose more of her rounded cheeks. The shock of the heat on her bare skin sent a bolt of energy through her, hardening her nipples. She gently lifted herself, just enough to let air rush along and between her breasts, then settled back down and let the sun beat down on her as if she deserved the punishment. 

The heat was still nothing compared to the yearning that had ignited inside of her. She was close to being out of ways to escape it. She tried to outrun it, but dozen of miles over many weeks only led her to waste hundreds of gallons of water in the shower as she created her own escape. She longed...ached...needed...

A shrill bark sent her thoughts careening back to the present moment and the intense heat of the sun. It was now half a hair's breadth away from being unbearable. It was almost as though she was training herself to withstand the pain.

A Selfish Day Realized

She did try to be selfish for a whole day, she truly did. But in all honesty, she only managed a few hours.  It was glorious, and did wonders for her soul. She thought she should try to do it more often, but wondered how she would peel herself away from the unending turmoil and day-to-day tasks of her life? What matters is, she was selfish for a few hours. And it was good for her soul. 

A Selfish Day

Making selfish decisions did not come easily. The first dozen things she thought of doing all had some benefit to another - whether it was supporting a friend through a hard time, making money to support her family, or working to make her community better. But she had decided to have a selfish day...or as much of one as she could manage. As she planned her day, her thoughts continued to wander back to what others might think of her selfishness, and if she should give up and be less selfish... Her heart still needed healing, she knew that much. And she knew that if she didn't learn to be a little bit selfish sometimes, she would break under the weight of it all. So, while it was a stretch outside of her comfort zone to invest in herself and make decisions only in her own best interest, she knew that it was necessary.  Or else she would snap under the weight of it all. 

Inciting Incident 3

She sat next to him, calm, self-assured, and strong.  "It is as though we are on the same string, just at opposite ends," her voice soft and sensual without a hint of effort.  She gently slid her fingertips along his mandolin.  "I am knotted here,"    her fingertips tapping the edge of the bridge.  "But you are all the way over at the other end."  She slid her hand along the strings to the tuning pegs, lightly twisting one between two fingers before letting her hand fall back into her lap.  "When we are struck, we sing the same note, because we are connected. So whatever note is struck - love, caution, passion, fear - it reverberates back to each of us. I think we understand each other a lot more than we think we do." She took a deep breath before she continued.  "But the problem is, these two ends never meet." She tapped each end of the strings, then let her hand fall to rest on his knee.  "You have to brea...
