It all started when Linda was visiting a friend of hers one Saturday afternoon. Linda and her friend Connie were sunning themselves by the pool in Connie's apartment complex, and while Linda was usually pretty closed mouth about her private life, Connie was just the opposite. She liked nothing better than trading gossip about other people's sex lives! It was at this time she started giving Linda the third degree about her and her husband Greg. "Greg's out of town again, huh," Connie asked, "how long this time?!?" "Oh about two weeks," Linda replied, "he'll be back on the twenty third." "Boy that's a long time to go without it, how do you do it," teased Connie?!? "CONNIE," Linda chided, "it's not that long, and besides, when we are together it's very good!" "Yeah sure," laughed Connie, "I couldn't go two weeks if my life depended on it!" Linda just laughed and shook her head. "What do you say we hit a movie tonight and go skiing with Vinnie tomorrow," asked Connie, "ya know he just bought a new boat, and he's taking it up to the Chain to try it out?" Linda thought about it for a second, and decided that a day on the water would be fun, besides, she really liked Connie's boy friend Vinnie, and she hadn't been water skiing in years! "Okay," said Linda, "that sounds good!"

"Wow,Vinnie, what a beautiful boat," exclaimed Linda, as she walked along side the gleaming twenty nine foot Bayliner! It was actually almost stunning, Vinnie owned his own business, and only bought the best! Connie and Linda hopped aboard, but Vinnie stayed on the dock and said, "We have to wait a few minutes, Dan's coming along, and he just ran down to the store to get some food and drinks." "Who's Dan," Linda asked Connie? "Oh, just Vinnie's business partner, I've only met him a couple of times, but he seems nice enough," replied Connie. The two women wandered around the boat, checking out it's many features, while they waited for Dan. Ten minutes later, a tall handsome man came down the dock, struggling to balance three bags of groceries. "I think I got everything," Dan said, "I even remembered to bring nachos!" Vinnie grabbed a bag and the two men stepped on board. "Dan, this is Linda, Connie's friend from work," Vinnie said, "and Linda, this is Dan, my best friend and business partner." "Nice to meet you," said Linda, extending her hand. "It's my pleasure," replied a smiling Dan, while accepting her handshake. Was it her imagination, or had he held on to her hand a split second longer than necessary? Her thought was quickly forgotten, however, as Dan cast off the lines and Vinnie guided the big boat out into the channel that lead to the lake.

It was a beautiful day to be on the water, and everyone had a great time skiing, swimming, eating, and drinking, but at certain times, Linda was sure that she felt Dan staring at her. Even though she was wearing a bikini and had a very nice figure, she felt that his gaze was more than just being appreciative of the female form! That night as they dined on the boat underneath the starry sky, Linda was more aware than ever of Dan's magnetic personality. When ever he had the chance, he would rest his hand on Linda's arm as they spoke to each other, she shivered as it was something she hadn't experienced in a long long time! It seemed that when he talked to her she was the only one in the world on his mind, and coupled with the beer and wine, Linda was feeling things that a married woman shouldn't have felt! At about ten o'clock, Connie pulled Linda aside and said, "I'm going to spend the night with Vinnie here on the boat, could you grab a lift with Dan back to my apartment, I'll stop by in the morning and pick you up on the way to work, okay?" Before Linda could even answer, Connie kissed her on the cheek and said, "Thanks, I'll see you in the morning!" Linda looked over at Dan and said, "Well I guess you're stuck with me, shall we go?" Together they walked over to Dan's car and headed back to the city.
