Only Until the End of Summer

After hearing news that her former fiancé is getting married, Anais heads to the southern resort city of Solean.
To forget her first love, she looks for a man to spend the summer with.

“I believe I can be of assistance. How about climbing aboard, my lady?”

The strikingly handsome man she encounters the moment she arrives in Solean,
Killian, is everything she had hoped to find here.
Desperate to forget it all, Anais approaches him, hoping to spend time together. But then:

“Anais, is this your first time, by any chance?”
“Yes, well… is that a problem?”
“It is. Sorry, but I don’t play around with girls who haven’t done this before.”

A man like that was someone she would have turned down herself.
She thought that was the end of any connection between them…

“Where are you going to stop today, Killian? Yesterday it was my chest.”

Killian tilted his head a little lower at the cute, cheeky provocation.
Drawing closer, he found the woman’s ears flushed so red they looked ready to burst.

“I’ll be leaving again once summer is over, back to the capital. Leaving behind everything I found in Solean.”

The woman’s red lips moved. Killian followed their every motion with a burning gaze.

“Killian, I don’t place any meaning on being a first time or anything like that… so the decision is yours.”

She never really knows how to play hard to get.
If he gives her a tug, she follows without resistance, laying her desires bare with honesty.
And yet, while she feels embarrassed by that, she is never ashamed of it.
That was exactly what he liked about her.

“There is no reason to refuse when such a beautiful lady offers to be my lover all summer long.”

All he had to do was tumble freely with a woman who was entirely to his taste, with nothing to lose.
So why was it, then?
Anais never once tries to hold him back, never makes an issue of his complicated past.
Why is it that she asks nothing at all about him?
Now he finds himself wanting to know everything about Anais.
