Maren was sitting on the shore. The sun was bright and her toes were warm where they were buried in the sand. She watched with a smile as the others headed out toward the water, their arms and legs turning shorter and more reptilian as they showed their true sides. Some of them walked forward into the small waves, their long bodies arcing up over the blue surface before sinking down to the depths again. Others pushed off from the beach and into the air, launching themselves into the sky on confident wings that made angular shadows on the sand.

She was content simply to lay back and watch them, knowing they were there. The sun had heated the top layer of sand, but the further she dug herself into it, the cooler it got. It was like a natural cocoon that she never wanted to get out of.

When footsteps neared, she didn’t jump upright and disappear into the woods. She simply smiled up at Garrison, who now stood next to her. His muscular body was sexy in a pair of dark green swimming trunks, the dark hair on his chest tapering to a narrow line that disappeared into the waistband of his shorts. Even his strong legs were something to be admired, and she couldn’t help but reach out to trace her fingers over the bones of his ankles. “Hey, you.”

He looked down, smiling as warmly as the sun. “I told you I would get it all set up.”

“What?” Maren was feeling lazy and relaxed, something she’d experienced so rarely over the last few decades, but it was becoming a more common occurrence now that Garrison was around.

“That would be fine. Yes, I understand you’ll want a little bit of time to prepare yourselves. So will she.”

Pushing herself up onto her elbows, Maren studied his face. He was talking to her, but none of it made sense. “Prepare myself for what?” The sand caved away from her body, then, refusing to support her any longer. She fell straight through the beach as though she was being sucked from the underside of it by some great vortex. Her body stretched, leaving some of itself behind as she came to on a thick rug in front of a fireplace.

Maren blinked. She was still completely naked, although someone had put a blanket over her. The rug and the fireplace felt an awful lot like the sand and the sun, but there were no dragons freewheeling overhead. As her senses adjusted to being awake instead of lost in that fantastical dream, she realized Garrison was in the kitchen, talking on the phone.

“Great. I’ll see you then. Thank you.” He hung up, staring uncertainly at his phone for a minute before he glanced across the room. Garrison startled when he saw she was awake. “I’m sorry. Was I being too loud?”

“Um, no. No, of course not.” She sat up, keeping the blanket wrapped around her. Sure, he’d already seen her body—both of her bodies—but that was in the throes of passion.
