Chapter 14: Eric's View
The drive to the beach was uneventful, which was a good thing, and the salty sea breeze rushing in through the open windows did a great deal to improve Eric's mood and relax him. He had talked to Karen earlier that day saying he would be driving over there after leaving the office in the afternoon. However, on his way to the office, one of his partners called to tell him they had fixed the problem. Eric was free to go to the beach straight away, so he decided to do just that and had pulled a U-turn, happy to be able to surprise Karen.
It was a little after 1:00 pm when he pulled up to a liquor store on the beach town to buy some champagne to give to Karen, one of her favorite drinks. He was in the back selecting a bottle when he heard an alarmingly familiar voice. He turned and saw Steph walk in through the entrance, but she hadn't seen Eric and so she walked to a different section of the store.
Steph looked absolutely amazing in a hot bikini top that showed off her amazing tits, and a see-through mesh sarong showing her now-tanned shapely legs and ass. Her formerly pale skin had taken on a sexy tan these past few days, making her look radiant, and her blonde hair looked wet and shiny from the sun and seawater. Eric was not surprised to see Shawn walk inside behind Steph, wearing only his bathing suit shorts and displaying his ripped body. Steph was laughing while talking to Shawn and for some reason her tone made Eric's curiosity grow and led him to want to eavesdrop on them, so he approached unseen.
"Haha, you're so bad! Don't say those things! She's my friend!" Steph's voice could barely be heard over the store's music, but Eric was definitely curious now. She seemed to be talking about Karen. Eric had been suspicious of Karen's behavior over the phone and text messages, not being as communicative as usual. He had attributed it to her being in beach mode, but he was now in a position to learn if something else was up. He decided to try to continue listening but could only catch bits of pieces of what they were saying without risking getting too close. It was especially hard making out what Shawn was mumbling in his deep voice, so Eric mostly heard Steph speak.
"...so excited... Eric's coming... nothing but pure romance... he's her husband..." Steph was barely audible from where Eric stood but those interspersed bits and pieces made Eric feel foolish. Karen was probably just as excited to see him as he was. He felt guilty for spying like a creep and waited shamefully behind an aisle as Steph and Shawn approached the register to pay.
"I mean, she's barely left the room these past two days. It's a miracle she's gotten such a nice tan." Steph commented as her and Shawn walked out the front door. Eric's stomach sank and his heart started racing upon hearing those words. What did Steph mean? Had Karen really stayed inside these days? Was she sick? She had never mentioned being sick in the few chats they'd had these days. The real reason that concerned Eric was quite different, and far more sinister. Eric would not even consciously acknowledge that possibility; Karen would never do something like that.
Eric was on autopilot as he drove to the beach house, mindlessly following his phone's directions. After about 10 minutes of driving, he pulled up to the place. The large house looked amazing, with modern architecture, and was right on the waterfront. Even from his vantage point, Eric could tell the terrace had an amazing view of the water, and he could see the steps leading down to the sand. 'Amazing what drug money can pay for.' Eric thought to himself. He took the champagne bottle, his bag and walked towards the house.
Eric knocked on the front door and waited a few minutes but got no answer. He figured that Shawn and Steph were still walking back from the liquor store and that Karen and Jason must be down at the beach, so he decided to walk around to the side entrance to the terrace he had seen when he parked. The small gate was unlocked and he walked into the terrace.
As Eric was walking towards the sliding glass doors he saw Karen emerge from inside. Eric had to do a quick breath intake; she looked stunning. In the microseconds before she could notice him, Eric's eyes took in all of her beauty. She was walking barefoot, wearing a new bikini that accentuated her toned legs, shapely ass, flat stomach and small but firm and proportional tits. Her skin had taken on a very nice tan, highlighting her muscles and curves as well as giving her a sexy glow. Karen looked absolutely radiant. Eric also noticed that she was wearing an ankle chain on one of her legs, something she had rarely worn before. He didn't even know she owned one, but it went very well with her new bikini and tan, making her look even sexier.
Karen saw him and was startled, clearly not expecting to see him. Eric expected as much, since the last she knew was that he'd arrive much later in the day. Seeing his radiant goddess clad in only a small bikini made Eric forget all about what he had heard in the liquor store; he felt completely elated to see her.
"Hey baby!!" Eric said as he approached her.
"Eric! Hi! I thought you were getting in later today." Karen's voice was full of excitement and nervousness. Her eyes betrayed her bewilderment, but before Eric could really process her initial reaction Karen's beaming smile and warm hug enveloped him. Her skin was hot to the touch.
"I know, but the crisis as work got fixed faster than expected and I wanted to surprise you." Eric explained as he handed her the bottle containing her favorite champagne. He was beginning to get turned on by the sexy aroma of salt, sunblock and a hint of sweat on her skin. "I'm going to go change into my bathing suit so we can go down to the beach, I'm dying to get some sun."
"Ok, our room is the down the hall to the left. I'll see you down there." she replied as she grabbed a nearby beach towel and began walking sexily down the terrace steps.
Eric walked inside where the temperature was a bit cooler due to some good fans. The kitchen and lounge areas were nicely decorated and quite spacious. As he was heading down the hall, he bumped into Jason who was coming out of his room.
