The sounds of nature surround her. Birds gently singing, fish periodically splashing, the light rustle of leaves in the trees, and the gentle lapping of the waves on the rocky shore. All of these sensations create a powerful yet calming vibration that moves through her, even as she slowly drifts in and out of sleep.
A light breeze kisses her neck, blowing strands of hair back and forth across her face. The sun warms her back while the hard rock presses into her from below, soothing the primitive need for sun-soaked warmth. Only a soft towel protects her smooth skin from the coarse rock. Her bare skin remains exposed to the sun above. She feels almost primordial, reptilian, soaking up energy.
The heat stirs her blood, awakening that primitive need she shares with creatures current and extinct, rejuvenating her soul. It fills depleted cells with new vigour, creating a hunger in her body and power in her muscles.
She senses her partner beside her, sitting attentively yet relaxed. Actively observing, studying the scene around them. Calmed by this presence she allows herself to surrender deeper into the warmth. Her mind is now free to move randomly through the events and life stresses that tug her in all directions. This semi-lucid state allowing her to sort through these stresses and dispassionately discard the items that have no real impact on her future.
She feels a bead of sweat grow on her toned back. She and her partner have spent weeks and months training their bodies to allow them to live the life of adventure they have chosen. One bead of sweat becomes another and another. Before long she can feel the beads pooling in the small of her back.
