He nodded. The stand was completely dark, but was barely illuminated by the moonlight. It was several hundred yards from the resort, so I was confident that no one would notice us down there.
“Meet me there in ten minutes, and be discreet.”
“What do you have planned you sneaky woman?”
“You’re going to have to wait and see, but bring a towel.”
I pulled the robe back on and walked out the door of the suite without looking back. Dylan should know me well enough by now to know that I never go on vacation without detailed plans.

Iwalked through the hotel, carefully glancing around corners before I turned, not wanting to run into anyone I knew on my way to the beach. I knew Ella would be expecting me in her room bright and early, so she was probably already asleep by now, but I was paranoid about being caught.
When I stepped into the warm night air, the breeze was just enough to make me wonder if this was going to be a terrible idea. But I wasn’t one to change plans last minute, so I walked past the pools and the bars, down to the sand. I walked as close to the water’s edge as I could, hoping it would give me the best cover.
I finally got to the lifeguard stand and realized it was much further than I anticipated. It was good to know it was unlikely anyone would be down here, but I also kind of regretted picking such a distant spot.
I laid my towel out on the sand and took off my robe. The air was somehow both warm and cool at the same time, and I shivered at the thought of jumping into the ocean. I laid back on the sand and closed my eyes for a moment, trying to will Dylan to get here faster.
As if he read my mind, he appeared in front of me just a moment later. He was dressed in the white robe that matched mine, and he had a towel slung over his shoulder. He dug into the robe’s pocket and pulled out a bottle of wine.
“I thought this might add some fun,” he said with a grin.
I took the bottle from him and popped it open, taking a big swig of it.
“Good thinking.”
He laid his towel out on the sand next to mine and started to undo his robe.
“Just so you know,” he said, hesitating with the belt, “You’re wearing far more clothing than I am.”
I glanced down at my barely-there bikini and looked up at him in disbelief.
“You walked through the whole resort naked?”
He nodded and smirked at me. And frankly, it kind of turned me on. He took off the robe, and there he was, in all his glory. He reached a hand down to help me up, and he made quick work of removing my bikini top.
“That’s a bit better,” he said, fingering the strap of my bottoms.
I pulled them off and flung them over my shoulder.
“Much better,” he said with a croon.
“Let’s go.”
“What? Where are we going?”
I pointed at the water, waiting for him to protest. Instead he scooped me up into his arms and ran out into the ocean as I fought his grasp. We were quickly submerged up to our chests, and he released me into the water. It was far colder than I had been expecting, but I wrapped my legs around his waist and the warmth from his body quickly made me feel better.
“So, this is what you had in mind for tonight, huh?”
“Does that surprise you?”
“You don’t seem like the type to skinny dip this close to other people. We could easily be caught.”
“Doesn’t that make it more exciting?”
