Gap Year

Chapter One: The Cat that Was About To Get The Cream

The sun blazed down on the idilic secluded cove, Hermione couldn\'t believe her luck when she found the beach house for rent on the travel Internet site, six weeks in St Lucia would be a good way to start her gap year.

This is the life she thought as she sat on a sun lounger sipping a tropical fruit smoothie, the sun lapping at her smooth firm skin, for the first time in her life she felt comfortable with her body. The transformation from girl to young woman had started several years ago but only reached completion over the last couple of months gone was the skinny shapeless frame to be replaced by the lithe sensuous form that stared at her in mir mirror every morning, gone was the tangled mop of hair to be replaced by loose flowing ringlets that fell to her shoulders. Boys had started to pay attention to her at the beginning of the seventh but she kept them at arm\'s length, she needed to concentrate on her last year at school and also didn\'t want any complications going into this year of discovery, she had been planning this for so long and nothing was going to ruin it, with that thought she sat back and read her book, letting the recuperating ray of the sun ease her tried limbs.

Hermione walked into the cafe at lunch time, she had eaten here every day since she got to the Island, it was an old back street establishment that had seen better days but the food was excellent and the people where very friendly.
There was something different about the room today though, all the usual faces looked up to greet her as she entered the room but a new set of eyes followed her from the door till she took her seat at her regular table. Hermione turned to face the eyes that had been devouring her and came in contact with the most enticing form she had ever seen, he had a tall, muscular dark brown body with a big beaming smile filling his big brown eyes and full sensuous lips.
\"Wow I\'m in love\" she thought as returning his smile \"no\" she countered \"I\'m in lust, I don\'t want to spend the rest of my life with him or have his babies I just want him, here and now on the table if he\'s up for it\" she giggled to herself and blushed \"Where did that come from,\" she didn\'t know she could be so wanton, \"you\'re a slut Hermione granger\" she added and a big grin filled her face.
He was sitting with an old man she had talked to before, Dr John Franks from the local general hospital, he reached down and whispered into Dr Franks\'s ear, then they both got up and walked towards her. His movement reminding her of a panther as he walked with cat like grace every bit the predator, his skin straining to stop his muscles bursting free from its tight embrace.
\"Sweet Merlin their coming over\" she thought to herself her heart beating double time she took a sip from the drink that had suddenly appeared in front of her, for something to do and moisten the back of her throat, that had gone dry for no apparent reason.
\"Hermione Granger Meet Dr George Pratt, he\'s over on secondment from Chicago General.\"
\"Pleased to meet you,\" Hermione replied meekly.
\"The pleasure is all mine,\" George responded as he reached down and kissed her hand gently, shivers ran up Hermione\'s spine in response to the tender caress.
\"Please take a seat,\" Hermione said with a husky tone to her voice \"Get Your emotions in check, he\'s going to see you for the dribbling school kid that you are!\" She chastised her self.
\"Another time, we have to get back to work, the hospital can\'t run its self,\" Dr Franks replied, a look of disappointment was etched on George\'s face.
\"See you around then?\" Hermione asked her eyes transfixed on the man in front of her.
\"You can count on it\" replied George With a wicked gleam in his eyes.
Hermione watched him walk to the door, he turned and smiled at her before leaving the room, a broad smile sprang to her lips and she purred like the cat that got the cream or make that the cat that was about to get the cream.
