Mary and Maximus arrived at the beach. Maximus chose one of the lounge chairs provided by the hotel and sat down. Mary, eager to feel the sea, set her bag aside and began to remove her dress, excited to dive into the water.

This was only her second time seeing the ocean, and she wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to immerse herself in it. Under her dress, she wore a modest two–piece swimsuit that, while not revealing, accentuated her well–proportioned curves. Maximus couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy as younger men nearby cast lingering glances at his wife.

“I’ll be back–I’m going in!” Mary exclaimed, heading eagerly toward the water.

“Wait, Mary, come here!” Maximus called out, noticing the group of young men starting to follow her.

She turned to look at him, confused, only to find him suddenly standing right behind her. Without warning, he pulled her close by the waist and planted a passionate kiss on her lips. Her cheeks flushed as she stood stunned, unable to do anything but accept the gesture.

“There, now you

you can go–be careful, okay?” Maximus said, flashing a rare, charming smile. “Okay,” Mary replied softly, attempting to hide her emotions.

The group of

young men got the message loud and clear and stayed away.

Mary, as if she were a child discovering the beach for the first time, ran to the shoreline and dipped her toes in the water. She was amazed to find it warm, and with newfound confidence, she ventured in until the water reached her waist. Though not an expert swimmer, she was certain she wouldn’t drown. Once fully submerged, she let herself dive under the surface. Maximus watched her from the shore, panic flashing across his face when she disappeared from sight. He got up, ready to run in after her, just as she emerged from the water. It was a sight to behold: her hair slicked back, her swimsuit clinging to her body, highlighting her natural beauty.

Her dramatic emergence caught the attention of a certain James McAdams, a 23–year–old vacationing with friends. His mission for the trip was clear: a summer fling. Spotting Mary, James swam closer to her, hoping to strike up a conversation.

Unaware of his intentions, Mary continued enjoying herself, diving under the waves. When she decided it was time to leave, she turned to head back to shore and was surprised to find Maximus waiting for her with a towel.

“So, how was it?” Maximus asked, his voice warm.
