Sondra sighed contentedly as she continued stare at the gorgeous sunset, a fiery red ball descending from a gold, orange, and yellow sky, into the deep blue diamond-sparkled sea. Sondra loved to lie on the beach and watch the Shokushu sunset whenever she got the opportunity. To her, it was one of the most beautiful sights in the world, and it was never completely the same, always slightly different from night to night.

Sondra was currently dressed in her favorite bikini, a black halter top bikini with Swarovski crystal accents and matching Brazilian bottom, which showed off the golden-tanned blonde's alluring body and shapely legs. Along with her revealing bikini, Sondra was also wearing her orange and black striped tiger ears and tail, the tail being attached to a thin silver chain-link belt she wore around her waist.

The lone beach-goer was lying on her stomach on her jumbo-sized tiger-print beach blanket, her bikini-clad bottom showing as she gazed dreamily out onto the sunset with her chin propped up by the open palms of her hands.

Sondra had not come to the beach empty-handed. She had been at the beach since early afternoon and had to have her usual supplies with her. Beside her were a large silver and black cooler and two large bags. One was a big red beach back containing suntan oil, a large black towel, a few fantasy novels, a small portable stereo and CD player, a CD case, a pair of sunglasses, and a pair of sandals.

The other was a large paper bag filled with assorted sex toys. Being the nympho that she was, she always had to have at least a few toys at hand just in case she had one of her...'urges', which happened at least ten times a day.

Sondra absent-mindedly reached out to her cooler and opened it up. Rummaging through the contents, she grabbed a large black sports bottle containing one of her special tropical blends and then twisted the top and brought the bottle to her lips, taking a large sip before twisting the lid shut and setting it down beside her as she continued to watch the slow descent of the bright crimson sun.

Cryios swam through the water. He had just fed and was searching for one of the human females to ''play'' with. He swam closer to the beach, his mind locating a girl there. He began to close in, until he was only a few meters away from the shore, as close as he could get without exiting the water. Several tentacles thinned, and snaked through the water, then creeping across the sand barely noticable, and brushed against Sondra's legs, the cool aphrodesiac slime seeping into her skin almost instantly.
