Beach

Iván rented the house by the sea to surprise Marina. What he didn’t tell her is that that night his best-kept secret would sit down on the sofa between them.

I had a secret date with the lover from that rooftop party. What I didn’t expect was for the other woman to show up behind the rock, determined not to just watch.

“If you stay, you stay to play,” he said, looking at my friend. I only wanted him for myself, but a dark part of me wanted to see how far she’d go.

We had spent years looking for the right woman for our bed, until the girl across the hall started cleaning our home and showed too much curiosity about my magazines.

He had known for a month that he loved her as more than a friend. When she opened her apartment door, he knew he could no longer pretend.

When she came out of the shower and took off the scarf, I discovered Daniela was hiding something that was going to change our beach weekend completely.

I came to a luxury island to rest with my teenage son. I never imagined it would be him who kept me awake that stormy night.

Camila and I accepted the invitation without imagining that behind that door lived a family where everyone shared far more than the dining table.

He crouched to show me his bracelets, and his gaze dropped to my breasts. In that instant, I knew I wouldn’t leave that beach the same woman.

I charged a lot and chose who I was with. That yacht invitation looked like any other, until the one man who didn’t touch me turned up on the beach.

I only wanted to sleep, but the crack in the bedroom door let the light through, and my mother’s low laugh stopped me dead before I reached my room.

I got off the plane not knowing that trip would end with his hand gripping my waist in the sand, and me wishing morning would never come.

We went to Formentera so people could watch her. I never imagined how far she’d be willing to go when that foreigner spread his towel just a few meters from us.

She came out of the water slowly, knowing the sheer fabric no longer hid a thing, and wrung the hair from her face in front of us as if she had all the time in the world.

I boarded the catamaran to escape the world for a while. I never imagined I’d end up naked, surrounded, and the one who didn’t want it to stop.

When I got to the cabin, there were only thirty men in suits and a drink waiting for me. It didn’t take long to understand why they’d paid me so much.

We’d spent years summering together, seeing each other topless without thinking anything of it. Until that first day at the beach, when her hand slipped inside my bikini and everything changed.

Noelia looked at us over her glass of cava and asked the question no one expected: how did we manage our sex life after so many years together?

I accepted the dare without suspecting that the fifth photo would lead me to a deserted cove, facing a stranger stretched out under the last ray of sunlight.

I offered to massage her feet without knowing she’d place hers exactly where I didn’t dare ask for it, and that neither of us would say a word.
