				It was only early afternoon, the wind was blowing an easterly from over the hills sending the heat torturing against the cool beautiful ocean.&nbsp; Shelby threw her head back in her old station wagon with frustration, her long brown hair stuck to the back of her neck as she closed her green eyes to the world, letting out a sigh while feeling a bead of sweat start to roll down the side of her neck and drip onto her bare shoulders she began to fidget.... the heat was too much even for her and her car didn't have air conditioning, yet she still continued to sit in it and listen to the police scanner in the middle of the day on one of the hotest it had been in a long time, she was ready for a surf and could see the waves peel off beautifully to the left of this secluded little place, there was no-one out there.... she had it all to herself.<br><br><em>Base to patrol 33....we have a robbery at playland Inn..... repeat we have a 733 at hand ....3 witnesses to the break and entry, one Caucasian male wearing black jeans, blue singlet and no shoes, carrying a sawn off shot......</em> the scanner crackled after those few words and Shelby took that as a sign to get her ass out of the stinking hot car and into the water, she wasted so much time listening to the crap that filled her town and realised it soon became a past time of hers which she worked by.<br><br>Trying to pull her sweaty legs out that stuck to the black leather seat of her car, she shimmied out off her short skirt and could feel the warm wind blow against her mostly naked body, she lived in her bikini top with just a loose singlet for cover as she spent most free time at the beach, this one in particular. Slipping into her summer wetsuit&nbsp; to protect her from the sharp rocky reef that created such sweet surf, she grabbed her board after waxing it up and ran to the water before throwing herself onto it and paddling out like it was an extension of her body, sitting up&nbsp; once she was out far enough she straddled the width of the board and watched as some sets came through, missing the first she caught the next and found the freedom of riding the wave until it died out, that was what she needed and she drew a deep breath releasing it slowly to take control of herself and of her mind before heading back out again.<br>&nbsp;<br>Shelby spent the next couple of hours just chilling, this was her time to relax where she didn't have to think of her duties to everyone else and she didn't have to deal with her own abnormalities. Paddling back out she noticed a couple of people along the beach, not many people tend to come to this side of the coast as it was known to hold a few surprises like stonefish, sharp coral and reef sharks, but the water looked&nbsp; just as tempting like any other, tourists were known to be saved quite regularly along this coast as the rips take them out or there feet become trapped amongst the reef.<br><br>Having grown up the along the coast of Meckering most of her life before moving away and then finally coming back again just last year, she was only 26 and had nothing to her name, she didn't care of priority of anything, wasn't one to be showered with gifts for she never really had been close with anyone, she wasn't sure if it was her that seemed to block out anyone that may have been interested or if she she truly wasn't desirable to anyone. Besides the&nbsp; house which her parents left to her when she was only 10...<em>before they were murdered and left to lay in there own blood in the middle of Viper alley just here in Meckering</em>, the thought always ate at her emotions so she shoved it at the back of her mind.<br><br>She made it her duty to keep the place the same as her parents left it, the homely warm feel with all out of date furniture, but it was familiar to her, most people these days were false and the world had changed for the worst as there was more theft, stabbings, murders, rapes and assaults than there had ever been, Shelby was shy and felt fragile inside, she was alone, but that was her safe guard, she lost everything she had from a young age and her shell became harder shutting out the pain of the past to toughen her up for the future...a future that seemed to move to nothing and uninspiring to her, but what else would she do besides her day fill in job at the cracker bar, she needed money to repay the mortgage somehow.<br><br>Her thoughts soon shifted to the other menacing side that no-one would ever know, one she still couldn't grasp fully herself..... when she took on the personality of&nbsp; Luca, the strong sexy woman that was everything she Shelby wasn't, Luca&nbsp; took it upon herself to destroy all that were too greedily with thirst of the wrong desires and that took the law unto themselves, she was out for blood, the hatred filled her veins like the water in any ocean, this is what kept her alive as she thirsted on the deep desire for revenge for Shelby, Luca was the strong grasp of reality that was hidden deep in her core and was only dying to become free each night to find justice in her own right.<br><br>Shelby turned her head to notice the flick of a tail fin in the water next to her, the splash of water increased just then she decided it was about time to ride another wave... before sitting still and becoming nibbled on by the annoying reef sharks that she saw circle around her.... "peace brothers" she whispered before she caught the next set come through, feeling her own peace flow through her body.<br><br><br>

				The couple of people Shelby had noticed along the beach was insistently pointing their fingers towards the problematic area consisting of reefs. As they were normal tourists visiting Meckering for a couple of days, the view of the impressive stones frightened them - why to risk their lives for something they thought having seen? Even so, the three girls in bikinis were screaming loudly to Shelby, as if she could do anything. <br><br><em>"Over there, someone is there"</em>, the girl shouted.<br><br>Unfortunately, it seemed that Shelby was too far to listen to the girls. Enjoying her peace, it seemed the outer world simply did not exist. One of the girls even entered the sea and began to gesticulate frantically towards Shelby, pointing to the dangerous area of the seashore. However, as the girl saw the shark finn, she panicked and rushed outwards the sea desperately. <br><br>Actually, some hundred feet from where Shelby was paddling, a large male body was floating limb, apparently lifeless. His arms were loosely holding what seemed to be a palm trunk, while his body was being thrown against the reefs as the waves come and go. Would Shelby spot him?<br><br><div align="center">****</div><br>Two men in a large yacht sailing a couple of miles away from Meckering's seashore talk to each other. While the one sitting comfortably in a hammock chair, the other was standing upright, with his wide shoulder shrunk, as if he feared something. Both Italians were trying to be kind to each other.<br><br><em>"Ascolta, abbiamo bisogno di più sostegno da te, Roberto. La nostra causa è giusta e tu lo sai"</em>, a stranger elengantly dressed in an Armany jacket and trousers calmly said. Two bombshells next to him giggled.<br><br><em>"Non so che cosa si sta parlando. Vi ho già aiutato con tutto ciò che potevo. In realtà, ho dato di più tu di me avrebbe potuto dare!"</em>, he nervously replied.<br><br><em>"Va bene, Roberto. Si prega di lasciare adesso!"</em>, the mysterious man dismissed his presence at the same time he began to kiss the neck of one of the blondies.<br><br>Roberto left the yatch's prow and went downstairs. What else did he want? He had already helped the Camorra the more he could: since he was 15, Roberto had been hacking information from every competitor, financial institution, government agency, law enforcer. Probably, the only organization Roberto had not hacked was the Pentagon. The FBI? It was a piece of cake to break their codes, the FBI was only good at advertising, he always said. In spite of all his services, the family treated him with disdain. Was it because they kept calling him nerd or geek? Never was he invited to join the celebrations, like the one the capo was having now with the two blonde girls. Why? He was not even well paid?<br><br>When he was getting to his room, three henchmen approached him using baseball sticks and hit his head, causing him to faint immediately. From that point on, all Roberto remembered was awakening desperate when he was thrown into the seawater. Gasping for air, Roberto thanked for having become a gym addicted 7 years ago - in his vain hopes of growing in the organization, he thought having muscles would count more than having brains. After some minutes swimming against a strong stream, Roberto grabbed a palm trunk and relaxed, feeling the sea carrying him towards the beach. Not everything was that bad - he would survive and look for the police, to join the leniency program. The <em>capo </em>would pay for betraying a member of his own family, a cousin! How could he have done that? He was a bastard!<br><br>The violent waves would take him to the beach, at least he thought so. Unfortunately, he was not in one of his luckiest days: one wave made him submerge strongly and Roberto hit his head in a stone. No bleeding, but a callus appeared immediately. And he fainted.

				The wave ended too soon as it fell flat and fazed out, the desire for just one more made her paddle out so she could ride the wave back into shore, she noticed a bunch of young girls in bikinis jumping and dancing on the beach having a good ol time and Shelby suddenly thought that she was due at work in a couple of hours....<em>just one more and that's definitely it!</em>. Paddling out further than she normally would she thought she saw a board or something out to her left along the larger rocks, she continued to stare missing another set roll through and from the raise of the water she saw it bobbing up and down..... "what the?...." she paddled out further and then saw an arm wrapped around something..." SHIT!" Shelby paddled out as fast as she could and noticed a body heaped over a log of a tree, she felt a sickening gnaw in her stomach as she called out, " Hey.....oh god!" everything in her told her that is must be a floating torso, but she saw that he was still gripping himself to the log.<br><br>Weaving around the rocky and sharp rocks and coral she noticed he was in bad shape, his colouring was off pastey and flaky, there was bruises, cuts, blood....fresh blood!, Shelby jumped off her board and into the water, she saw then that this guy was in one piece and his slow pulse which she checked showed that he was alive, she peeled his body off the log and pulled her surfboard underneath him so his whole naked body was on it, she took off her leg rope and pushed and paddled back to the shore, she didn't know what to think or feel....she had never&nbsp; been through anything like this before...having a naked cut up guy that seems to be near death just hanging out to be rescued.... her muscles were killing her as she kept paddling back in, catching a bit of a wave she pushed the board forward to give it more speed to the shore until the whitewash carried him in safely to the sand.<br><br>Trying to catch her breath as the naked cut up guy laid still on the board, Shelby had the 3 young woman run over to her, screaming in her ear that they tried to call out to her, she stoped them in mid sentence, " Go call an ambulance!" Shelby flipped the guy over felt his pulse again...<em>still there barely</em> then pushed him on his side to open his mouth slightly making sure he was clear of anything, she checked his pulse again......<em>Shit!</em>, the screams from the girls in the background were pissing Shelby off and not helping her or this guy at all, but within the split second Shelby performed CPR on him, she breathed deep into his lungs raising his chest before pumping and counting each time, only repeating the process with another breath and another few quick pumps of her hands on his chest..." COME ON&nbsp; DAMN IT.....BREATH!" <br><br>The girls screams turned to cries before the sound of the ambulance came roaring through the car park just a few metres from the beach, Shelby watched as 2 men came running down with a stretcher and life support gear, but she continued CPR....until she felt him splutter and she watched as water dribbled out of the sides of his mouth, even though he was naked and she didn't know him, she collapsed onto him and held him tight...."thank god!" her words were broken as the ambulance guys placed a blanket around him and checked his eyes, they taked to him asking question..." What's his name?" Shelby just stared at the cut up guy..." MISS...What's his name?"<br><br>Shelby shook her head, " I don't know....I found him in the water"

				Roberto had swallowed lots of water and was completely unconscious when Shelby took him out of the sea. Meckering was a beautiful place to die, he would have agreed. This would be specially true if Roberto were surrounded by gorgeous girls. He knew how stupid he was: after all, he had come to Australia to work for the family and in the end, he could not go to any of the beaches, where gorgeous girls are surfing with their amazing bodies. At least, this is what the sitcoms in Italy displayed about Australia.<br>&nbsp;<br>"What a pity he is dead", one girl made a sarcastic remark. Her two companions looked at her angrily and obeyed to what Shelby had commanded. If they wanted him alive, prompt action was necessary.<br>&nbsp;<br>All his clothes were already torn apart, the few straps of cloth were not hiding a lot: not only Shelby but also the three girls had an amazing view of his body. Shelby could now see the stranger laying next to them. None of the girls was blocking her view and what a view. Did she have surgical eyes when she decided to save him from such a dangerous situation? After all, swimming from those reefs to the beach required a lot of strength and Shelby risked her life at least twice: swimming close to the reefs and crossing them out of her board. It no longer mattered. What Shelby had in front of her was not a common man around his mid 20s. His face hair had been recently cut, his skin was completely pale - he did not seem to like sunbathing like her. All in all, his skin had not suffered a lot with the reefs - probably Shelby had already seen unlucky surfers in worst situation. Even so, to put it simply, there was still&nbsp; a lot to see. His body (http://fineartamerica.com/images-medium/desert-shoot-dan-nelson.jpg) was really large, which explained Shelby's difficulty to drag him in spite of her being very fit: his height (6') and his muscles were far harder than the average, suggesting a really dense body. His pecs and spades were impressive to say the least: Shelby could lay there and there would be some room for another girl to cuddle. On the other hand, they did not seem to be so broad shoulders as men like him were: something suggested he was a low-looker, someone always looking down, not trusting himself. His hands were not calloused - he was not a blue-collar -, even though his thumbs were just a bit fatter due to typing too many SMS texts. Apart from these minor aspects, Roberto had the perfect male body, the one Shelby probably saw in the classic statues in museums or in other surfers who were always flirting her. As her eyes moved down, what she saw was even more impressive: muscular arms with biceps and triceps ripping, washboard abs with 8 packs of tummies, strong thighs, perk buttocks - his body was a real mountain of muscles. His erection? Goodness, even without being aroused, it was large enough to fill in a girl's imagination with the wildest dreams!<br>&nbsp;<br>At first, as she did the CPR, Roberto's pulse did not seem to react. Fortunately, after a couple of minutes, when the girl seemed to be losing every hope and moved her lips away from his, following her angry words (<em>"COME ON&nbsp; DAMN IT.....BREATH!"</em>), the stranger vomitted some water. Roberto weakly opened his eyelids and closed them again. No words, no explanation. He did not have any strength to raise his eyelids, he lacked strength even to speak. His body went limb again. However, this time his breath was more active. Its rhythm made his chest expand a lot, exposing his ripped pecs even more. A mermaid? Were he awaken, Roberto would not have believe Shelby was rescuing him, he would have thought she was a siren - in the past, sailors were lured into the Australians reefs of Meckering by gorgeous mermaids like Shelby, the wild imagination of the Italian would have thought that. His thought were confused, his eyes could not open - the sunbeams were blinding him. Was it real what he saw? A gorgeous girl with green eyes? <br><br>After the brief moment of consciousness, all Roberto remembered was to be inside an ambulance with its siren buzzing. He felt safety, but longed that glimpse of the green eyes could have lasted more. Why did all his dream vanish so fast? His right grip tighted instinctively and he felt someone there, holding his hands. A soft, comforting grip. Had he been blessed again? Was it a gorgeous nurse? Roberto stranger was so weak that he could not raise his head to see who was.

				Shelby followed the medics back to the ambulance hovering over the man whom she just rescued, she didn't even think about her surfboard, her car,the fact she was still wearing her wetsuit only just the fact that he had survived and who the hell&nbsp; he was .... why was he out in the water.... how long had he been there for.... what was his name...his family... she jumped into the back of the ambulance van and crouched beside him with the other medic, <br>"Take his hand love he might need it for reassurance and talk to him" the medic continued to take his pulse and fit a drip to him during the journey back to the hospital which wasn't too far, but seemed to feel like an eternity and she was only now feeling the wetsuit and it's restrictive nature when not in the water.<br><br>Taking in the guys appearance Shelby noticed that his body was large, he was actually quite hot, but he didn't look in good shape, she took his hand and stroked the top of it with her thumb rubbing it in a circular motion but wasn't sure if she was doing it to sooth herself or him, but the sensation was comforting to her too, she began to speak to him softly,<br>&nbsp;" It's ok .....not long now and you will be taken care of........just relax and breath.....stay alive" the medic looked at her thinking that she was a little strange, he didn't have to say anything...Shelby just knew what most people thought.<br><br>The medics were very quick taking him out on a stretcher bed and rolling him onto another as two other nurses came out to help, they all spoke very quickly with urgency as they dragged him off into the hospital with the long drip attached to his arm. Shelby stood outside the hospital in the middle of the day feeling her body sweat while wearing the black wetsuit still and it had become so tight she found it hard to swallow, she realised how silly she must of looked as some passer by's glanced at her more than three times. Feeling a little strange she was about to take off, but the nurse that was having a fag outside stopped her, <br>" Hey miss!.....you will need to fill in some paper work first before you disappear!" the nurse butted out her ciggie which she just lit up and began to walk inside,<br>&nbsp;" Well come on then...your not the only one who's paper work I have to put through!".<br><br>Shelby walked hesitantly into the hospital following the nurse to the admin desk, she hated the smell of it...hated it in generall, but she wasn't one to be rude so she filled out the paper work that was nessesary, filling in the general scenario, the time, details about the patient...<br>" I'm sorry, but I can't fill in most of this..." the shock seemed to be still in her mind as she shook her head with frustration, sweat was building up bigtime as she pulled on her wetsuit that was around her neck, even though the aircon was on, she felt as though she was cooking in a furnace, the sweat litterally flowing like a tap down her legs and off her face.....everything seemed to become blurry, she blinked a few times trying to get the moisture out of her eyes and then........<br><br><div align="center">***</div><br>The room was bright, the lights were brighter than any normal light as she blinked to try to get focus.....she took a deep breath in and felt free, looking down she noticed she was in the white loose hospital cloak and began to freak out as her heart raced as she looked around the room, she was lying in a single bed with a curtain that was drawn closed, she slowly lifted her feet off and put them on the ground, she felt ok, she even took a few breaths before remembering the events that had just passed earlier...<br>A nurse pulled the curtain and smiled at her, <br>" feeling better now love?...your levels dropped before and you had us all worried" the nurse placed a white loose T-shirt and a pair of white shorts on the bed, <br>" you can wear these home, but if you can bring them back.....your boyfriend is ok! he's right next to you!" the nurse smiled with a cheeky grin and a raised eyebrow in Roberto's direction. Shelby's eyes widened.....<br>" <em>What</em>.....I mean... he's <em>not</em> my......<em>aarrrmmmm</em>?" she sounded shocked and alarmed as the nurse began to walk off.<br><br>Shelby's pulse picked up and she wasn't sure why.....she got to her feet and then pulled the drawn curtain away......<br>Her eyes softened as she took in his appearance, he seemed to have his colour back to a healty level, not so white and pastey looking, the sheet was pulled down to his stomach and she saw the muscular definition of his chest, the thinkness of his neck and the pout of his perfect lips.....she began to walk towards him her mouth was parted unconsiously as she held onto her breath too, she lifted her hand up to his free arm very slowly as it was lying down the side of his body and she couldn't resist but slide her finger along the length of it, remembering how she saw him and the first breath he had taken on the sand, she let out a gasp only happy he had survived.

				Roberto was laying on his right shoulder, looking at the large window and wondering where he was. His eyes were still having problems to see around even though his dizziness was vanishing. It was still hard to open his eyes, his breath was heavy, but calm. His temperature, his pulse, his hearing seemed to be ok. All in all, despite some bruises and cuts, Roberto was still alive. However, being alive now did not mean he would be alive the next moment – his family could find out he had survived and come after him.<br><br>What would he do next? He was lost in a small city in Australia. It would be a good start, but there would be some difficulties. Would they let him live there before immigrating? Would he be deported back to Italy? The mere thought of such a possibility made him frightened. Maybe Roberto could contact the Italian police and be recruited as a whistle-blower – his capo did not suspect he had survived after all. Not a bad idea, the Italian pondered.<br><br>As Roberto felt a hand touching his body, adrenaline was instantaneously flushed into the bloodstream. He had not heard anyone' steps approaching. Was it one of the professional murders hired by the family? He himself had already sent out some emails with intructions for them to murder the enemies of the business. If so, it seemed this time it would be different - the grip was not masculine. Before her hand could reach his shaft, his left hand came to live and grabbed her wrist. Shit! Had the family already found out where he was? He forced his grip and felt a soft, muscular wrist. For a moment, Roberto feared turning to see how was behind him. His eyes closed and he held his breath.<br><br><em>“Che cosa è questo? Che cosa ci faccio qui?”</em>, Roberto spoke in Italian forgetting he was not in Italy.<br><br>Such was his obsession with his own survival that nothing else passed through his mind. Roberto turned his head and saw a young, tanned female, the prototype of a healthy, fit Australian girl, just as the Australian girls were in his dreams. The family could not have sent her to terminate him, it was not their customs to make the death as pleasant as possible - being killed by the beauty standing next to him was almost a blessing, not a punishment.<br><br>"Sorry, lady... who are you?", he spoke with a heavy Italian accent. His eyes could not stop looking at her face. Suddenly, he noticed his grip on her wrist was too strong and released it. "Sorry, lady, I did not mean to hurt you", he added opening a shy smile and turning his face away from her to the other side. Am I in heaven? Is she an angel? Whichever the answer was, Roberto would be happier than ever. Never had he been so close to a beauty like her, never had a beauty like her touched his body!

				&nbsp;Shelby became startled as Roberto grabbed hold of her wrist, she didn't expect him to be awake let alone nearly have the strength to break her hand and all she could think of was how his voice was smooth and sultry, she hadn't heard an accent as strong as his and she seemed to gravitate closer to him.<br>&nbsp;Pulling away as Roberto let go of her wrist and began to apologise to her, she looked down as she rubbed it, not because of the pain she felt from his hold, but she needed something to distract herself from him and as soon as he turned around she managed to break away from this little dream state she felt she was in....<em>wake up girl and get it together</em>!....."Shelby...my name is Shelby"<br><br>"I'm sorry if I startled you....I....I....are you feeling better?" God... what a looser she was, of course he wasn't better he's still in the hospital!&nbsp; Shelby walked up closer to his bed lowering her hand which he had grabbed and placed them down to her sides holding down the baggy white hospital gown just like any other patient in the hospital, she heard him ask who she was, but she just had so many questions that came to her mind. She generally wasn't one to be nosy or get into anyone's business, but there was something different about this situation and him. Clearly he was Italian as he had such a sexy, strong accent and the body of a god, she thought of him as a tourist, a model or actor who got lost and carried away in a strong rip or maybe as a asylum seeker, they were known to flee there boats to seek refuge on the shores of Meekering, but are generally caught by the navy just along the coast.<br><br>Shelby just started at him, she wasn't smiling, but gave off a look which showed she was curious, " I'm sorry.....you need to rest..."<br>Turning her gaze away shaking her head she looked to the white clothes the nurse had left her, where was her wetsuit?... and her car, surfboard....keys?, the mornings activities started to flood back to her mind, she left everything at the beach and only hoped it was all still there when she got back.<br>&nbsp;Reaching to grab the clothes that lay on the edge of her bed which she was borrowing she felt the back of her gown move and drift slowly across opening up slightly to reveal a little bit of her thigh ..<em>.Oh no way!</em>, she knew she was naked underneath them and hoped that the hot guy next to her didn't noticed, she quickly wrapped it back around herself feeling her face flush red and grabbed her clothes before running to the bathroom to change.<br><br>Taking a few deep breaths she sat on the toilet seat, feeling rather silly, a laugh left her throat as she shook the days dramas already...she was going to need a bloody drink by the end of it. Putting her borrowed clothes on and taking a quick look in the mirror she could see how messy her hair was and full of sand which in turn made her start to itch from it and her skin was dry from the salt that hadn't been washed off.... she felt just as crappy as she looked and&nbsp; walked back into the room looking toward Roberto's bed, she smiled a little, but she wasn't brave enough to look at his face and into those deep eyes of his, she knew she would only get pierced by them and would only too soon float into them absorbing what there was to learn about him, "I can get the nurse for you...if you like? she slowly raised her head to look at him and wasn't sure if she should explain who she was or just leave a number for the nurse to give to him at the front desk....he probably had a family, a wife or girlfriend anyway......infact she was sure he wasn't alone, not a man like him!

				<em>"Shelby...my name is Shelby"</em>, her voice echoed in Roberto's ears like a music. Yes, she was a mermaid!<br><br>"Beautiful name, Shelby", Roberto spoke. Intuitively, his Italian genes were being flirty, although he was a computer nerd. Even Roberto did not believe when those words came out of his word. "Very beautiful indeed", he repeated with his strong accent while he closed his eyes briefly. Roberto did not understand pretty well the reactions of the female stranger. Was she one of those gorgeous Australian nurses? Why was she wearing such different clothes? Was she also a patient?<br><br><em>"I'm sorry if I startled you....I....I....are you feeling better?"</em><br><br>"No need to apologise, I just thought you were someone else.", the Italian answered simply ignoring the possibility she could be someone sent to finish killing him. If she were, why did she look like so... hesitating like a teenager girl who fell in love for the first time? Why was a femme fatale behaving like that? Besides, her weird clothes were not exactly what Italians would call sexy, even though Roberto was pleased to see her curvaceous body as he turned his body to the side where Shelby was standing. <br><br>"Yes, feeling better, much better", Roberto continued to answer slowly. How couldn't he be with Shelby next to him?<br><br><em> I'm sorry.....you need to rest..."</em><br><br>When Roberto listened to her words, his instincts spoke louder once more. In the typical passionate Italian way, his opened his eyelids wide and begged. "No, please, I am fine, I have already rested a long. Do not leave me. I am well. I need to find out where I am, who you are. I think ... I will have to start my life from scratch", he finished in a rather dramatic way. How would Shelby react?<br><br>Apparently, his begging had no effect: Shelby simply grabbed her wetsuit. "Are you a diver, Shelby?", the Italian insisted chatting with her. She was gorgeous, he could not let the first female stranger, possibly in an entire new life, go away and vanish. Previously, in the family, all the Italian girls knew he was the nerd and mocked at him, even after he began to transform his body into the marble sculpture it is today. Shelby was a chance to test whether his transformation had been complete.<br><br>She seemed to ignore him blatantly. While holding her wetsuit and some clothes, her eyes moved down, as if to show her bare thighs for Roberto. what legs Shelby had! Was she offering herself to him? No, it could not be, not so fast, not so easy. He did not dare look above to see whether she was wearing panties. That would be too much lack of respect. Even so, Roberto glanced her thighs. He did not even think the girl could be naked. His thoughts were for what he saw. Nothing else, nothing less.<br><br>Shit! Nothing seemed to work. His eyes were enough to frighten the girl. Shelby rushed to the restroom. "I am such a stupid", the Italian muttered to himself. "I screwed up everything!".<br><br>To make him feel even worse, Shelby made a return in grand style. Now, she was even sexier than before, dressing her tiny shorts and top. She was even hotter than before. Roberto thought she was too much for him - no, a woman like that would never like someone like him. Had she changed just for him? No, of course not, stop having silly thoughts, pervert! She was wearing it before and changed for those strange hospital clothes, it was obvious! Take it easy and do not behave like a fool, he thought. <br><br>Make a last attempt! Hopefully, this time would work.<br><br><em>"I can get the nurse for you...if you like?"</em> <br><br>Roberto shook his head as if to say no. "No, I am fine, Shelby". Then, he noticed a smile. OMG, she was smiling! In no time, Roberto wore a wide smile, showing almost every teeth in his mouth. Even so, she seemed to be reluctant to gaze him.<br><br>"Will you answer my questions now?", Roberto insisted. He still had some hope that a transformation had operated while Shelby was inside the restroom. Silly thought, you nerd!

				Shelby stared at his smile, noticing how perfect his white teeth were and how his lips had an even balance, neither of them was bigger than the other, but damn was she drawn to taste them, to feel if they were as soft as they looked, she looked down to distract herself from staring at him for too long and hoped he hadn't seen the faint blush of her cheeks. Noticing a chair next to his bed she walked over to him pulling it out and took a deep breath while siting down...time to explain myself now.<br><br>"Sorry about the rush before, it's just that I'm not actually a patient...well there's nothing wrong with me" he doesn't really care for all your explaining so spit it out, " what I mean to say is that....you are looking a lot better now, you looked really bad when I found you....."<br><br>Shelby shook her head from the memory of rescuing the guy, seeing how badly his body was, the bruises, cuts and the flaky paleness of his skin, looking back up to him she looked at the length of him and took in his muscular statue even under the sheets, the olive tone to his skin even though the bruises and cuts were still quiet visible still...boy was he handsome!<br><br>&nbsp;"I rescued you from the coast.... but I am now diver" as Shelby's eyes found his she looked down to her hands that she began to fidget with as it was an uncontrollable urge to try to hide her embarrassment.<br><br>&nbsp;"I pulled you onto my surfboard... took you in..... and began to resuscitate you...." looking back up she showed the wary on her face, whilst it had shaken her the experience had made her stronger, she lingered on all the bandages on his upper torso that was uncovered having so many questions of her own, she generally wasn't a nosy person and stayed out of people's, but there was something strange about this guy and not just the fact that he was the most sexy man she had seen ever.<br><br>"You said you need to start your life from scratch...what about your family? Where are you from? Shelby's voice started to get a little higher expressing the curiosity and a hint of excitement in her voice, her body moved forward so she was sat right on the edge of the seat using her hands to rest along the side of his bed, but being careful not to touch him,<br><br>&nbsp;" I am a local, so if there is anything you need then I could sure help you...were you planing on staying here originally? ....I don't mean to pry too much, but I am just ......." Shelby seemed to be lost for words weather that was due to her fainting earlier or the fact that she felt a connection with this guy she realised she didn't know his name,<br><br>&nbsp;" I am so sorry....I haven't even asked your name..." her hand reached out to touch his arm absentmindedly, the hair under her skin was soft and the muscle strong, why did she have the urge to want to&nbsp; touch him more....much more, pulling her hand away quickly, like she had just been shocked by a lightning, she wasn't sure why she was reacting so strangely to him, was it because of the fainting spell? she didn't want to dwell on it for too long and within that instant a nurse came through the door...jeeze!<br><br>The tall blond skinny nurse was sex appeal, her large breasts were about to bust out of her white dress, the nipples standing to attention underneath the thin material which you could noticeably see them falling out of the low cut. Her stethoscope sat tightly between the fierce clench of them,&nbsp; she obviously found Roberto sexy and the way she shook her hips when she walked into the room spoke more than words, with her eyes only on him she grabbed his chart and began to read it&nbsp; but without actually looking at it, Shelby was aware how her eyes scanned only at the muscular length of Roberto's fine body taking all his grandeur in.<br><br>Shelby felt a burning sensation flicker through her body, she knew this feeling and knew it was under the wrong circumstances for it to start, but the fury kept burning, she felt her eyes narrow like a cat in hunting zoning in on her prey ready to take it out, as Shelby's body started to respond she managed to shake the control and take reign, normally she was unable to control the building sensation,&nbsp; but now wasn't a time to start to negotiate with her other half of herself...Luca, she looked from the nurse to Roberto and felt her frame become smaller, shifting back to a normal energy.

				Roberto paid attention to the detailed explanation of how Shelby had rescued him from the reefs and saved his life by doing the CPR. Some weak memories came back: soft lips, her hands on her chest, the view of a gorgeous female body. Everything was confused and Roberto came to the conclusion those flashbacks were nothing but Shelby dragging him from outside the sea.<br><br>However, there was more in the way Shelby was speaking. Roberto did not even need to read between the lines. Shelby's body and behaviour was almost shouting she wanted to be friends, to say the least, with Roberto. No matter how fast her interest was, Roberto liked, even though he did suspect the actual reasons behind her sudden interest. The Italian nerd did not think a woman could like him physically, appreciate his body, drool at his muscles.<br><br>Even so, the Australian beauty was sending him some signals. The way she glanced him, the way she approached him, the way she touched him. All her moves seemed to be sexy, almost horny. Was Roberto exaggerating in his interpretation about her behaviour? He hoped he was not wrong.<br><br>"My family?", Roberto almost gasped for air when she came out with that question. It was exactly the last question he wanted to answer. "They are all dead. I prefer not to talk about them now", he lied pretending to be very sad. She did not need to know about his family, at least for now. Not a very nice way to make friends, but his self-preservation instinct commanded him to lie. Fortunately, Shelby had already given him some room to changed the topic. "I am originally from Naples, but I have been living in Rome and Paris for the last 10 years."<br><br><em>" I am a local, so if there is anything you need then I could sure help you...were you planing on staying here originally? ....I don't mean to pry too much, but I am just ......."</em> <br><br>Roberto paid attention to her words. Time to flirt a bit. The Italian did not care whether she was prying or not. There she was: a hot girl making questions about him, something had never happened before.<br><br>A kind smile.<br><br>"No, you are not prying. Actually, I need to stay away from home...", he spoke trying to avoid the sensitive topic of his past and regretting his words - definitively, she would be suspicious about that aspect - why did he need to be away from home. Roberto came out with another lie. "I want to be away from the place where my family died". At least for now, Shelby should not know Roberto was in trouble and should have died.<br><br>"You may ask me anything. After all", he paused and winked, "I also want to know everything about this place and the people living here", he continued as his right hand touched her bare right arm and caressed it tenderly, before gripping and releasing it. Was it a nice flirt? For the relatively inexperienced Roberto, those arts of seduction were new and every move was a challenge, a new way to explore his abilities.<br><br>"My name?", he added surprised with another smile. Finally, she was clearly showing interest. "My name is Roberto, Shelby." It was not common for him to say his family name like English speaking people do. Italians are far less formal. For his specific situation, there was an additional reason: he needed to hide himself from the family otherwise a murder would be sent after him.<br><br>Once more, silly thoughts took him over. As the nurse came back, his eyes glanced her momentarily. Could she be the murder? Stupid! I am completely paranoid, he pondered. Suddenly, taking advantage of Shelby's proximity, in a nearly desperate action, Roberto grabbed her both arms and held them with some strength.<br><br>"Please take me out of here, to anywhere. I am feeling good and I do not want to stay longer. I do not like hospitals. I need a friend now. Will you?"<br><br>What would Shelby do? Would she think Roberto was a convicted criminal? Shelby was the only person Roberto knew to start everything from scratch. <br><br>For Roberto's greatest surprise, the nurse spoke.<br><br>"No need to worry. I came here to say goodbye. You are better and may leave now!"

				Shelby watched Roberto closely as he answered her questions, she knew she threw alot out to him, but she loved hearing the strong and sexy accent that he spoke to her in, she seemed to get drawn into a semi trance from hearing it, but the mention of his dead family sent chills through her core, knowing&nbsp; what the loss of family is like she felt a slight pull at her senses, quickly speaking to hide her own grief, "I'm sorry to hear about your family" looking across his body to take in his muscular scope again she focused again on his eyes and became drawn into saying something she might have regretted if she wasn't so smitten by him and the situation they had come to meet one another.<br><br>"Roberto..." her words were only whispers as she felt him hold her tight around her arms, his warmth spread across her flesh like fire, but she felt the sensation tingle underneath her skin, she didn't pull away from his grip, but only found herself move closer towards him watching as the nurse pulled herself away from them, she knew the words were meant only for her ears.. knowing the plea that came from his mouth and his contact with her.<br><br>"No need to worry. I came here to say goodbye. You are better and may leave now!"<br><br>Shelby didn't look at the nurse, but kept her gaze on Roberto, she saw something flicker in his eye and became mesmerized, too much it seemed as she responded without any thought,<br>&nbsp;"Come to my place.....until you find something that your looking for...... once you have regained all your strength and know what you want to do" Shelby couldn't believe the words as they came out from her mouth, this was very unlike her, it had been a long time since she had anyone in the house with her, but her indecisiveness disappeared when she walked closer to him feeling herself relax under his palm on her wrist<br><br>Watching as the nurse left, Shelby smiled to Roberto, " Unfortunately my car was left at the beach so we will have to taxi it back to my place" slowly moving her arm from his grip she touched his hand with hers until she slide her fingers through his clenching onto him showing him she would support him, "I will help you..." Shelby looked at him watching as she stroked his hair from his face, it was an unconscious thought, but felt a little shy from doing so when she brought it back to her. " Would you like me to meet you outside or would you like help to get going?" not wanting to make him feel less than a man she pulled away from him letting his fingers go she smiled at him feeling ready for whatever other surprises the day would bring her.

				Roberto did not pry Shelby was prying on him. As a matter of fact, he loved it! Never had any other girl done that before and the way Shelby behaved helped him to raise his self-esteem – after all, being expelled in grant style from his family was more than enough reason to feel like shit: Shelby came as a more than perfect compensation, since she looked like more with a prize!<br><br>He wanted to speak and reply, but Shelby did not stop. Many offers and ideas seemed to be in the girl's head. Would she want to sleep with him? It seemed obvious, since she was inviting him to her home. That had never happened to him, he was not certain how to proceed. Should he accept? From his perspective, the Australian hottie was not nervous at all. On the contrary, she was playing the cards, releasing the grip in his fingers and inviting him to come to her place. Why was she so happy just for helping him? In his nerdy ways and thoughts, Roberto had no idea how much he was capable of turning on a girl like Shelby. Fortunately for Shelby, his lack of knowledge could be very convenient for any plan she might have in mind. Goodness, the girl was brighter than the sun, her enthusiasm was contaminating. Once more, his momentary hesitations vanished.<br><br>“No need to go. Just give me some time in the toilet to get dressed properly”, Roberto said as the nurse walked out of the room and left both alone again. Suddenly, he stopped and laughed. “I have just remembered: I have no clothes!”, he added while he used his arms to straight the white gown which the hospital had given him – due to his large, it was above his knees and clearly tight around his broad chest. “Are you sure nothing I was wearing can be used?”, he continued walking with his bare feet towards her side and offering his left arm to wrap around his. For him, it was something natural for a gentleman to do. What about for Shelby?

				Shelby noticed the shock look on Roberto's face and wondered if she wasn't too forth coming with the idea to stay at her place, just as she was about to speak she noticed his need for help, but couldn't for the life of her drag her eyes away from the way the white hospital sheet seemed to suffocate his large and muscular chest, a slight smile raised up at the corner of Shelby's mouth when he asked&nbsp; if he was wearing any clothes when he came in.<br><br>&nbsp;" No Roberto...you were naked when I found you" she tried to contain the look of embarrassment on her face and directed her gaze else where, but she only ended up looking directly into his dark and alluring eyes and was captured there for an uncomfortable long minute.....the need to know why he was naked in the first place was long forgotten.<br><br>" So..." Shelby smiled showing a little shyness as she took hold of Roberto's thick arm, not sure why she did as he was more than capable of walking by himself to the bathroom, but the gesture itself was sweet and it seemed like the right thing to do...or maybe she was beginning to feed the greedy side of her...another way to be closer to this complete handsome stranger which she saved and now was about to help get dressed?.<br><br>Shelby walked with Roberto until he reached the bathroom, letting go of his arm she slid hers away slowly to feel the softness of his hair and the strength of his muscles,<br>&nbsp;" I'm just going to wait over here" she pointed to the other bed as she began to walk away reluctantly, " I will find you a robe or something to cover up with" As Shelby walked off she was shocked with herself...<br><em> am I obsessing over this man</em>..<em>.Roberto</em>..., as she thought of his name she tried to say it with a sexy accent like the one he holds, but then shook her head and wondered if she was really ok or maybe she was still suffering from some type of shock.<br><br><em>It's ok...once I get out of here and get some fresh air...I'm sure I will be back to my normal self</em>, but she wasn't normal, there was some sort of shift within her core, it has always been there and she came under the name... Luca.<br>Luca seemed to marvel and want this newly found sexy stranger...he was certainly hiding something from her and Shelby, and the need to find out more about such a man like <em>Roberto</em>.... what was he actually doing in this tiny town of Meckering? Knowing there was more to his story than what came off his tongue, Luca would not come forth into the relationship just yet, but she was going to make sure she helped to keep the heat between Shelby and Roberto...until the time comes when her sultry and sexual advances are needed or simply when she desired him.<br><br>Time seemed to pass, Shelby wasn't sure if she could hear the sound of a running shower as she realised she was staring in a dream state for god knows how long.<br>&nbsp;Opening up a large cupboard she found a white long Night gown and grabbed it, then wondered if his large mass would fit into it, she began to lick her lips from the slight thoughts of watching him disrobe himself infront of her.....her eyes began to close slightly as she was daydreaming of sexy fantasies involving Roberto...his thick solid build holding onto her smaller frame nice and tightly....she would fit against him so perfectly....<br>

				Roberto stood up, stumbled a bit as his leg still hurt a bit, but then walked, trying to look confidently, towards the toilet, closely followed by Shelby. He had never experienced something like that: a girl flirting so openly with him, surrounding every step. Was she just worried about his welfare? Or there was something else in the tender touches to support him? The mere thought of her having a special interest made Roberto shiver. Normally, they were all making jokes at him together with the other mafia boys, most of them his own cousins. It would be so good if Shelby were... different.<br><br>The Italian entered the toilette and undressed himself with some difficulty. He took a deep breath. Then, another and another. Roberto could not remember how long his divagations lasted. Some seconds? Minutes? All he wanted was to be sure about what to do next, how to behave, how to win her heart. Then, Roberto began to take a shower. As he had to come back to reality (was everything going on real), he went for a cold shower and moaned instinctively following the first contact with the water. Right after, as his body got used to the temperature, which was not that cold considering they were in the sunny Meckering, and Roberto took the cheap soap and shampoo available to clean himself. Some 10 minutes later, he was done. For some reason, he was not believing Shelby was outside, was not believing the gorgeous Australian even existed.<br><br>Nevertheless...<br><br>Shelby was there, seating exactly where Roberto thought she would be seating, with her long legs crossed in a casual way which showed how confident the blondie was. Goodness! Not only did Shelby exist, but she was as hot and gorgeous as Roberto remembered before taking the shower. No need of further tests. Still embarrassed with the whole situation - after all, Shelby and Roberto were complete strangers to each other- , with the towel wrapped around his waist, leaving most of his legs and chest bare, Roberto smiled avoiding her eyes and murmurred.<br><br>"I think there should not be any no reason for me to be ashamed. As I was naked when you rescued me, I think you may have already seen everything".<br><br>A silly comment trying to be a silly joke. What an unfortunate choice. Just a nerd like him could come out with such an idea. Even so, there was some time to fix up the error. Before Shelby could react or do anything, Roberto noticed she was holding a gown and took it from her hand, putting it on from above. In the process of getting dressed, Shelby could see once more how well carved were his pecs and chest muscles. When Roberto was "covered" by the white gown, he raised his head and gazed Shelby's eyes, winking at them.<br><br>"I think this is the most ridiculous clothe I have ever put on! Not even in Carnival I dressed such a costume!", he laughed while taking the towel from under. Making jokes about yourself was always nice - some girls liked that and maybe Shelby was one of them. Besides, it showed confidence. After a brief hesitation, he held the towel and threw at the girl. "Take it! I think it belongs to the hospital!", he began to walk outside the room in the hope Shelby would join him.

				Shelby watched Roberto as he walked out of the tiny bathroom, the steam creating an aura around him that she couldn't draw her eyes from. <br>After taking in his large, muscular and damn sexy form she couldn't help, but stare as the few water droplets he hadn't dried off ran along his neck then fell to his thick strong shoulders before they melted along the smooth and luscious skin just around his nipple....<em>ahhh shit!</em><br><br>She had to look away, he was way too handsome and much too naked for her eyes to even gaze upon, but his words caught her off guard and she couldn't help picture him the way she found him. As Roberto took the robe she was holding she knew she had to say something and quick before the uncomfortable feeling would come,<br><br>" <em>ahhhhhmmm</em>...I was too busy rescuing and resuscitating you...<em>please</em>...don't be embarrassed." Shelby shook her head not even believing why she had to explain that, but felt his shyness as he kept his eyes from hers, while her eyes locked onto him as she watched him get dressed....<em>look away...look away.</em> Her eyes held too much lust as he lost the towel fully.<br><br>"I think the colour is magnificent against your olive skin..." Shelby only whispered the words just as Roberto walked out of the room......<em>what the?....did I say something wrong...is he coming back to my place....what just happened?</em><br><br>Following his lead Shelby walked out fast as she caught up with him along the busy corridor, she felt like a stalker..<em>I mean really why the hell am I following him around when he obviously wants to get out of the hospital...maybe..</em>.<br>&nbsp;with a quick thought she put it out there, he never answered her earlier question and would offer him just one more time...Placing her hand on his arm she pulled him to a stop, looking deep into his eyes as she placed a pleasant smile upon her lips,<br><br><em>"Roberto</em>...would you like to come back to my place....I mean it isn't much, but I would hate to see you sleep on the street, because frankly... Meckering isn't a very safe place...especially for a foreigner....even for just tonight until you have recovered more." Shelby held onto his arm tightly until she realised as she looked down at it and moved it off him just as quickly, she wasn't generally a touchy, touchy kind of girl, but she would certainly plan make a few changes with the way Roberto had been looking at her, backing away a little from him she smiled and shook her head slightly, pulling her eyebrows in together,<br><br>&nbsp;" no pressure at all...up to you fully <em>Roberto</em>!" Shelby looked up ahead at passing by patients and nurses, knowing what a funny pair they must have looked like...her in the white hospital shorts and top and Roberto with a large white hospital gown....Shelby began to smile widely and then laugh just as loud, directing her eyes to Roberto..<br><br>" At least come back to my place to get some clothes more....suited to you!"

				Roberto enjoyed being followed by Shelby out the room. As soon as he noticed Shelby was walking next to him, the Italian turned to her and winked – nothing sexy, nothing with second thoughts, but the mere acknowledgement everything was fine. Was it natural for a geek like him? Wasn't that too alpha for a nerd? This is to be seen. As he had no idea where he was or how Meckering looked like, the Italian would definitively ask for the girl's help. Lost and without a penny, the Italian had to cool down and make a plan about how to deal with the possible (or potential or imminent) threat coming from his family. <br><br>Shelby seemed to be making things easier by offering help. At first, this shocked him – his fellow Italian friends in the mafia had always made comments about how cold English-speaking people were, specially those which had close ties with the United Kingdom for long, as it was the Australian case. Shelby's approach was really unexpected. Even more surprising was to feel her soft fingers in his arm: Roberto reacted swiftly, by gazing her but he managed to control his intuitive reactions and his look was nice and gentle. As an Italian, Roberto was really used to be touched, everyone is Italy was touchy, speaking with the hands and pretending to be intimate when they were not. With a wide smile, he mocked at her a bit.<br><br>"Bella ragazza, I come from Italy, more precisely from Naples. Your Meckering looks like a kindergarten for me!”, he smiled while his hand was holding hers. “I really appreciate your concern, but I am a grownup man!”, he smiled. "My only problem is that I do not swim well, bella ragazza!”, his semblance turned serious, just to change for a wide smile.<br><br>Then, his eyes gazed a naïve smile which nearly broke his heart. The stupid man should not have spoke that silly joke. He was accepting her offer anyway. Why would it be bad?, he was pondering. She was hot, blonde, fit, beautiful. Roberto needed a shelter and more than that, he was trying to run away.<br><br>&nbsp;"Bella ragazza, I had no other plans but to beg your help, when we walk out the hospital", he looked ahead and moved his head to indicate the hospital's door. The nerd was trying to fix it up the best he could. His voice trembled a bit. Had he screwed everything up? All of sudden, he had an incredible initiative.<br><br>“I was going to make it outside, but you leave me no alternative", Roberto said gazing her eyes at the same time his hands wrap around her waist. Swiftly, his manly grip dragged her closer and kissed her lips for a second. Inside the hospital, some patients and health workers stopped to see the unusual scene. Inside his thoughts, the nerd was thinking: what the fuck am I doing? How did I take the initiative with Shelby. Never have I done something like that before….what if she simply slaps my face afterwards.<br><br>The kiss was over and Roberto gazed her once more. "Shall we leave?”, he added while the group behind them was clapping hands for the couple.

				Shelby walked with Roberto hand in hand, it was he who had taken hers as she met up with him then she beamed quietly as his thick accent rolled off his lips. she had spent a lot of the time just staring at them, the lush fullness and the way his jaw worked, the thickness of his neck...<em>god he was hot!</em><br><br>Needing to say something to break the silence as she worried she wasn't inconspicuous about the way she stared at him, she smiled and looked to the entrance,&nbsp; "Well <em>Roberto</em>...maybe I could teach you how to swim then!...I'm sure you will be doing plenty of it while you are here with our beautiful white sands and crystal clear waters!" Shelby bumped into the side of him to show her playful nature, but the serious tone in his voice made her shiver, "I have offered to help..so to my place it is!" Her words were stern and to the point as he began to speak.<br><br>&nbsp;Shelby smiled widely, showing how white her teeth were against her tanned face, her blue eyes heavily on his. Roberto seemed to meet hers at the same time and she gasped when he wrapped his arms firmly around her waist and melted when he kissed her softly....she closed her eyes for just that brief moment, taking in the lushness of his lips..she wanted to draw his tongue out and wanted to run it between hers, to feel the sweet and wet texture....but then he pulled away.<br><br>Shelby just stared at Roberto...never before had she met a man that had done that! A smile curved on her lips as she ignored the people that were gawking, " Y..yy.yes...I think we...should leave" trying to regain her composure the hot air from outside woke her up slightly.<br><br>Waving down a taxi that was passing at the front she held the door open for Roberto as she got in after him, " I only live 15 minutes down the road, back by the beach..." She stared at Roberto from the corner of her eye, a slight smile was constantly evident before the taxi pulled into her driveway, she had earlier explained to the taxi driver that she needed to get money from her house.<br><br>Shelby helped Roberto out then went to get some cash and paid the taxi driver, she held onto Roberto's arm as they began to walk up her gravel driveway. Her arm felt too comfortable along his and she felt very tempted from his closeness, " this was my parents place...it's not much, but it's home (http://www.australiantraveller.com/images/galleries/4225/035-Affordable-Strahan-Corinna1.jpg) .." she wasn't sure if he was into small talk, but she needed something to distract herself from him and was hanging out for a cup of coffee.

				Roberto knew she was hers! From the moment Shelby did not shout or felt insulted with his kiss, he was sure the girl wanted something more than mere helping a stranger. How could it be? How could the nerd be so sure about that? Everything was strange for him as if his drowning had made him wake up as a new man. Not a bad idea: a new man for a new country, he thought to himself with a wide satisfaction. <br><br>Roberto did not feel an enthusiastic reaction from her side. Of course, the hot girl kissed him, but soon her lips were not longer in touch with his own. Surprisingly, He did not care a lot. Were Roberto still his old self, an avalanche of doubts would have flood, making his tremble and hesitating. Nevertheless, Roberto was a new man, full of himself, without the fears he used to have.<br><br>In the taxi, Roberto did not seem to be shy or too afraid in relation to the girl who invited him into her place without even knowing him. He behaved in a respectful manner, avoiding to gaze at her well toned legs, at her delicious hips, at her gorgeous breasts. Whenever he spoke – and he spoke a bit about her necessary assistance for teaching him about how to swim and possibly surf -, the Italian gazed her eyes in the most respectful manner. The last thing he would like Shelby to think was that he was a pervert, although he had given her a kiss in the middle of the hospital without any indication the girl would be interested.<br><br>By the time they got home and Shelby stepped out of the taxi towards her home, Roberto's eyes devoured her body – fortunately, the girl did not have eyes in her neck otherwise she could have reconsidered her invitation to stay at her place. The taxi drive noticed and mocked. "Hot your girl, isn't he?”. For a second, Roberto found the comment rude – however, he felt proud for the fact a mere taxi driver could consider Shelby his girl. He smiled back at the taxi driver and nodded without saying anything. In all those years doing dirty jobs for the Mafia in Milano, none of the models, working in the fashion week and doing freelance job as whores for some of the bosses, had ever looked at his eyes and no one around would consider him capable of having a hot girl like Shelby. Now everything was changed for the better.<br><br>After paying the taxi, Roberto noticed that Shelby was feeling more comfortable with him otherwise she would not be walking into her place holding his own arms. <br><br>"Your place is terrific. It reminds me of some documentaries about the Australian outback I watched when I was a child – your place looks like one of those homes!”, he answered gazing her crystal blue eyes. "It is a big place, more than enough for a girl like you.”, he added. <br><br>Suddenly, he stopped and listened to the sea. “I suppose the beach is right behind your place, right?”, he looked ahead seeing the reddish sun going down under some trees. "What if you show me the beach first?”, Roberto winked at her.

				"Girl like me...<em>right</em>" Shelby (http://www.mauitravelvacations.com/images/malia-jones-surf-model.jpg) raised her eyebrows with confusion, but she smiled non the less and couldn't believe just how quickly Roberto wanted to get back into the water knowing he pretty much nearly drowned if it wasn't for her, "I actually think the beach is a great idea because I need to pick my car up and my board..if they are both still there." Shaking her head and hoping they hadn't been stolen she opened the door to her house and quickly grabbed a pair of spare keys to her car, " yeah the beach is just over the vegetation growth where the sand dunes are we can walk there and then drive back."<br><br>The walk was peaceful as Shelby kept quite while walking side by side to Roberto, it was just relaxing and simple as they listened to the slight rush of the waves that lapped along the golden sands, taking in the smell that wafted through the air as it was crisp and salty, complimenting the scent of pine that came from the large pine trees where the seagulls were nesting, "I love it here...the beach, the sand, the trees...everything" her words were very quiet as she took in a deep breath of the afternoons fresh air, " the tide will be coming in at approximately thirty minutes time...it's 5:30 now and the temperature will drop a few degree's once the sun goes down over the sea...you ever watched a sunset before?" Shelby didn't mean to babble, but it was comforting to be able to chat to someone and especially that of a sexy European man, the glint that shined of his eyes was memorizing as she took his hand and pulled him down the steep slope of the sand dunes, "watch it Roberto...wouldn't want you to spend any more time in hospital...not unless it's from something worth while anyway!"<br><br>Shelby kept hold of his hand and sat down on the warm sand, "You shall watch your first Aussie sunset...it's one of the most beautiful experiences you can witness....especially this view."<br>Shelby chanced to look into his eyes and felt as if she was lingering on them for too long, she looked at her fingers that were intertwined between his and smiled, but tried to hide it as she looked back to the ocean, all the years she had spent at this beach she realized never before had she spent it alone with a man, licking her lips she laughed out slightly from the man that was now sitting besides her...he was sexy, had a body of a god and the kiss he teased her with earlier only had her wanting more. but she looked at herself and dismissed any ideas of any romancing going on, not with the white shorts and top she was still wearing from the hospital...she didn't look very attractive.<br><br>&nbsp;<div class="floatright">(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3329/3603599539_78b3d403e5.jpg)</div><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"></span></span></strong>

				Being alone with Shelby was the best of the worlds. She was such a hottie and Roberto could not stop thinking about her real intentions. Of course, he was not going to hurt her feelings, or whatever. Maybe all she wanted was a companion, not necessarily a man. And Roberto was the right person in the right place. Or better, the right person in the wrong place - after all, drowning in the sea could never be seen as right place. <br><br>Walking next to Shelby was the first relaxing moment for Roberto, since his mafia fellow had thrown him out of the yatch some miles away from that beach. Shelby was having such a bright influence over him. <em>"I love it here...the beach, the sand, the trees...everything"</em> Roberto was feeling more confident and nodded to the few comments made by Shelby. "The tide will be coming in at approximately thirty minutes time...it's 5:30 now and the temperature will drop a few degree's once the sun goes down over the sea...you ever watched a sunset before?" However, as time passed, she became quieter and quieter, rather different from the happy, confident girl Roberto had met back in the hospital. Even though Shelby had always been shy, she would hardly become voiceless.<br><br>After some time, both arrived at the place where Shelby wanted to be. Her hand touched Roberto's. The Italian smiled and turned to Shelby. Her blonde hair was shining against the last sun beams of the day. She was even more beautiful. <em> "You shall watch your first Aussie sunset...it's one of the most beautiful experiences you can witness....especially this view."</em> However, this time, instead of simply nodding, Roberto gazed her eyes with such a reverence that could make her hair stand on their ends. Soon, her eyes were admiring the ocean, but Roberto's grip went tighter.&nbsp; His breath also speeded as well as his heart beats. Never had the once geek felt like this before. As if he had done it before many times, his grip suddenly grew stronger conveying a confidence which had been lacking. With his other hand, Roberto held her head and turned it again to meet hers.<br><br>"I just cannot explain", Roberto muttered as his hand brought her neck closer so that both lips would meet together.

				The sunset was exactly what Shelby had expected. A deep orange glow coming from the sky as it sank into the endless blue water in the horizon. She had never shared this time with anyone let alone a man that she found absolutely attractive and who she had saved earlier the day. What a day it had been.<br><br>Shelby was waiting for some sort of reply as she felt she was rambling on with her own words. Turning her gaze back to Roberto, she smiled slightly lifting the corner of her lips up from the way he was looking at her. His deep brown eye's were piercing into her own, his pupils so large she noticed as he moved closer to her body. The warmth of his palm as he cupped her neck sent chills through her body even though the evening was still quite warm. He was going to kiss her and she was beginning to realize she was nervous as hell as she swallowed involuntary.<br><br>Taking a quietly deep breath in, Shelby leaned into Roberto's hand and angled her head...awaiting for his full lips as they both enclosed in one another. The electric spark that ran through her core made her lean further into him from the slight touch of her lips on his, using her free hand she slid her fingers through his dark hair and pulled him closer to her.&nbsp; His lips were so soft and engulfed her own as she began to part them to accept his tongue. Her own movements mimicked his slow speed, making sure she didn't seem to eager or even a novice during their first embrace. Shelby closed her eye's and drifted to a place further than she felt she was, the warmth radiating from Roberto was the only thing that kept her grounded. As their kiss lasted not only a minute, it felt as though thirty minutes had passed with her, but she could have stayed locked with his for the rest of the night.<br><br>Opening her lust filled eye's as she looked directly into his, she felt so wired and happy. A soft spot from within her seemed at peace as they sat so peacefully and quiet on the shore. Shelby clasped his hand and whispered, <strong>"Mmmm..wow..that was some kiss.."</strong> Shelby looked down to the soft golden sand beneath her feet, feeling a slight blush rise from her cheeks.&nbsp; Laughing softly as she looked back at Roberto, she wondered what he thought as he was so quiet this evening. <strong>"So..you like our Aussie sunset?"</strong> Shelby was feeling high as a kite and was happy with the way the night was evolving, a slight giggle humored her as she licked her lips waiting for a response from him...hoping he spoke more with his body like he had than with English. She was beginning to like the flavor of Italian.

				<strong>“If I like your Aussie sunset?”</strong>, he laughed like a happy child while his right hand took her neck and brought her gaze back to his,which was shinning happily. <strong>“You must be kidding! I LOVE IT!!!”</strong>, Roberto shouted while his both hands slid down her frame as respectful as such a move could be and grabbed her waistline. Goodness, what a body she has! Then, still with his eyes gazing hers, Roberto raised Shelby from the sand, trying to show off that he was not a nerd, but a strong man, and began to twirl around himself with the girl's feet parted from the floor. Laughing a lot, Roberto could not stop saying: <strong>“I LOVE IT!!!”</strong><br><br>After some twirls, Roberto began to feel dizzy – he was not trained in ballet! Suddenly, one of his feet tripped on the other and he fell to the soft sandbeach, positioning himself in a way that Shelby would fall mostly on his top. Everything was fun for Roberto, who ended up swallowing a little bit of sand. He coughed to expel the sand to the opposite side, where Shelby had fallen on his top. Actually, his plan was rather protect Shelby to taking advantage of his hostess. However, both of them ended up with their bodies intertwined on the sand, his legs crossing hers, her belly rubbing his left side, their lips less than an inch away from each other after he turned back after coughing. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Roberto smiled. <br><br><strong>“I am sorry, Shelby. I am overexcited with the idea of being free again, away from the problems which were destroying me in Italy. Thank you for making my first day in Australia unforgettable!”</strong>, he said honestly with his breath heavy. His desire for Shelby could be seen in his eyes and the bodies' proximity was only helping to making the growing lust unbearable.

				The loud laugh and wide smile that came from Roberto was too infectious. He was simply so beautiful and seemed to be so carefree considering what had happened to him this day. Shelby suddenly felt as though she knew the man for much more than one day, but was overwhelmed with any other thought as he picked her up way too easily and spun her around like a play thing. Laughing contagiously herself, she hung onto his biceps as he held her weight perfectly. Shelby's eye's bored directly into his just before he lost balance and went ass up literally on the sand.<br><br>Falling helplessly into Roberto's body, she couldn't help, but be concerned for the man's well being...he has just come out of hospital for christs sake! <strong>"Oh gosh, are you ok"</strong> Shelby found it hard to be serious as the smile on his face said it all. The way he grasped onto her body, felt oh so right and was beginning to do more than just bring a smile on her face. They were only inches from one another's face, it was the perfect moment...like something you would watch from a romantic movie. The golden red sun was setting so low against the water line that the reflection showed the desire in Roberto's eye's. Licking her lips as she looked at them, she took in the fullness and how they were beginning to part slightly. Shelby gripped onto his arm as her other hand was pressed firmly against his hard stomach. The words that he spoke made her want to suck on his lips with desire, she didn't realize the desperation of actually needing to know just how sweet his lips were.<em><strong>"un...for..getable.."</strong></em> she whispered the last word he said and ran her hand from his arm up to his neck. The touch of his hands as he caressed her body against his left a silent gasp leave her throat, but feeling his erection push into her hip made her shudder and breath roughly.<br><br>In one smooth motion, she raised her body further up and harder against his. Her lips finally locked onto what they had craved for since they first laid eye's on them, parting her lips as she sucked on his bottom lip first before placing her own fully over his. Shelby breathed heavily into his body and took in his masculine scent, her tongue began to reach out to take what she clearly wanted as she gripped onto him with firmer hands... her delicate fingers intertwined in his thick dark curls as the passion began to intensify on her side. <br><br>The sound of the waves crashing along the shores of the beach was the perfect balance to the quiet moans that escaped Shelby's throat. She was becoming very intense..too intense she realized as she opened her eye's as if she was hypnotized in some sort of illusion. Her blue eye's locked onto Roberto's face, then she suddenly pulled away from him with an confused look. <strong>"I am <em>so so sorry </em>Roberto..."</strong> Shelby felt her cheek's redden as he didn't seem to protest what she was doing. <em><strong>"I..I...don't know what came over me"</strong></em> she whispered as she pulled herself off his strong body, releasing the forceful grip she had on his hair. This wasn't like her to be forceful, not in her nature at all as she felt herself becoming drawn again too easily into his deep brown eye's...<em>"oh..god no" </em> from that very moment there, Shelby realized that Luca was actually claiming a right to this man as well.

				Roberto closed his eyes and enjoyed every moment Shelby's lips met his. Her meaty lips were as tasty as its red colour suggested. Her tongue toyed with his mouth, making him feel some shivers going down his spine. Even her legs seemed to be locking against his in anticipation of what was to come. Keeping the grip on her grip was not even necessary and Roberto loosened it to make the girl feel more comfortable. The large man moaned loudly as if he had never kissed before. Such was his excitement that his hair came to their end and he felt goosebumps. Roberto, who saw himself as a complete nerd until one week ago, was turned into a stallion!<br><br>Then, the magic moment came to an end suddenly. <br><br>With his eyelids still closed, the Italian listend to Shelby excusing herself for something she should not excuse herself. <em>"I am so so sorry Roberto..."</em>, Shelby spoke as if she had hurt him when actually Roberto was feeling such a joy! He could not believe her words. Hadn't she taken the initiative? As a matter of fact, the Italian had no idea of the inner fight between her two different personalities. He opened his eyes and tried to look confident, tried to look as if he had dealt with hesitating girls life Shelby, trying to look as if he understood perfectly well what Shelby was going under. An experienced man must have lived that situation dozens of times, Roberto thought.<br><br>"<em>I..I...don't know what came over me</em>" only made Roberto smile shyly, as if he had done something wrong, lured the girl into sin. For a moment, he even thought the girl could be married. What if her husband would pop in at any moment carrying a Crocodile Dundee's knife? No, he was wrong, as the girl was wearing no ring. But…what if she was living a modern relationship, in which no rings were exchanged?<br><br><strong>“I know what came over you, Shelby”</strong>, Roberto let her go without struggling with her and letting her go for a while He decided to ignore those silly thoughts about her being married. <strong>“It was just the same that came over me in the hospital”</strong>, he paused remembering when he kissed the gorgeous blonde in the hospital corridor, at the same time he groped her waist to prevent her from moving far away with on hand and her neck with the other. <strong>“It was a something I had never felt before for someone, you may be confused, I know”</strong>, he continued with a smile. <strong>“But it is sincere”</strong>, Roberto winked, trying to hide that although there was some affection growing towards Shelby, his body was reacting to his masculine instincts.<br><br>Without warning, Roberto took the lead this time and used his grip on her neck to bring her lips back to his. This time, his tongue invaded Shelby's without hesitation. The French kiss he was planning on Shelby would take her breath away. Now, his legs held her ankles from behind, preventing her from moving away at the same time his hand slid from her waist to her butts.

				Shelby watched the different expression change on Roberto's face. At first he seemed happy and then it changed to something like he could get into trouble for what he was doing, his soft words made her look back up into his eyes and smile at him in wonder. <strong>"the same that came over you.."</strong> she repeated as she was remembering the kiss back at the hospital, he managed to slide his hand back along her waist and pulled her closer to him....she liked his touch and decided she needed much more of it.<br><br>Smiling at Roberto even after he spoke, she was becoming so easily smitten by him. Her eye lids lowered as she showed the lust in them that was now beginning to escape from her body, she wanted to touch him...to feel his lips against her own again. Roberto had the same thought it seemed as he groped her neck and pulled her closer to his full and parted lips....she accepted and this was when the show slowly began.<br><br>&nbsp;Shelby slipped her hand underneath his shirt and felt the heat that radiated from his olive skin, there wasn't enough of his flesh in which she could touch this evening and she wanted to tear every last piece of clothing off his body and lie on it. Letting out a slight moan of frustration, Shelby knew it was from desperation that began to leave from her throat. She needed this man tonight and was going to strip him of every clothing he had on him before the sun would rise the next morning....weather that was here or back at her place in the comfort of her bed.<br><br>Parting her mouth and working in the same rhythm along with Roberto's tongue, she sucked&nbsp; as much of the length of his tongue would allow and pulled it out of his mouth while staring into his eye's. There was no longer any thought of her backing away from him, the way her fingers began to unbutton his pants as she kissed him more feverantly expressed her feelings towards him. <em><strong>"Roberto..."</strong></em> she whispered through busy lips as they left his mouth and sucked on the softness of his neck. Sucking his skin with more power, she was beginning to taste the blood rising from the surface of his neck...knowing she was claiming him now this night.<br><br>Her hands managed to slide under his pants and run across the silk boxers where she felt his erection..<em><strong>"oh god!"</strong></em> she sighed out, expressing to Roberto how she recognized his thick erection underneath the thin material...she needed that in her. Pushing her body forcefully into his, she began to over power him. The sand went through his hair as she moved from his boxers back to his hair, running her fingers through the dark thick curls and trying not to suffocate him with her mouth. Sliding her hands quickly down to his chest again, her green eye's held steady over his just briefly and it was there she saw the reflection of Luca in his dilating pupils... the woman smiled back at her with a wink and sunk her nails into Roberto's flesh firmly and felt the squirm of pain shoot through his body....
