It was difficult. Not telling anyone my feelings. I just kept them bottled up inside me and sex was apparently my only escape. I looked fondly at the man sleeping beside me and rubbed a hesitant finger along the scar across his chest.

I was so angry. My colleague had drugged me and had planned to rape me and if it wasn't for this man lying beside me, things could've gotten out of control. Sighing, I cuddled closer to him and felt hot tears sting the back of my eyes.

I needed some air. Silently, I got off the bed and the large dog followed me soundlessly. The living room was larger than the tiny room and the furniture was just as battered but atleast I could breathe again.

Naked, I sat in a sofa and brought my knees to my chest. I rocked myself back and forth like a child, sobbing quietly. The dog lay its head quietly beside me and I looked at it. It seemed to be quietly comforting me.

I was still so angry. I looked out the window and saw that the house was on the beach shore. Without thinking, I went pushed a door and went outside. The sea breeze hit my face and I looked behind me. I couldn't see people or buildings for miles and miles.

I made my way towards the sea. The icy cold water brushed against my toes and I took a deep breath. I calmed down considerably. I turned and looked behind me. The dog was sitting, watching me. I beckoned to him and he trotted towards me, tongue lolling out happily. I bent over and gave him an affectionate rub on his head.

I turned back to the sea and closed my eyes. I was angry for a reason i couldn't even understand. I let out a quiet sob and put my head in my hands, weeping. I thought of the man I'd just slept with, just lost my virginity to. I sniffled and jolted when I felt a pair of arms snuck up around me.

I turned round and face him. He brushed a tear from my cheek and smirked, his dimple winking at me again. I held his huge hand to my cheek and noticed that he was as naked as I was. Did i wake him? I looked up at him thoughtfully and he smiled.

"I woke up when you touched my scar" he murmured, pulling me close to him for a hug.

I cleared my throat softly, fearing my own voice. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you trembling?" He asked, stroking my back as i clung onto him.

"Nothing, can we go back inside?" I suggested quietly. After some thought, I added "Can we do it again?"

His eyes narrowed dangerously and he dragged me down, onto the sand.

"Let's do it here"

He covered my mouth with his, silencing me with a savage kiss.
