Skie set sail in her yacht a week after her father passed. Her grandfather had made a fortune from Microsoft stocks and the money had passed down in the family. She lived with her girlfriend Kellie and their 3 cats. They were at a marina in San Diego and cuddled up on the couch watching a movie on the projection screen before bed. The view of the water was always beautiful at night. Kellie was already in bed while Skie enjoyed the seascape.

She started heading Kellie’s way to bed when she turned and say a painting of roses in a thorn cage. Her and Kellie liked to paint, so she believed it was hers and took it to the bedroom. “What’s that? Did you paint something?” Kellie asked and sat up sleepily, “It’s a great painting. Love the idea of the rose thorn cage,” she complimented and laid back down.
Skie thought for a second to say it wasn’t hers but decided not to worry her and just replied, “thanks!” She then set the painting down and headed for bed while a bit of anxiety sent prickles though her arms.

In the morning, Skie got up to make coffee and feed the cats. All three seemed spooked and Skie tried to sooth them. When they were all finally eating, she walked out to the hot tub to drink her cup of coffee there, but when she looked in, the water was red. When she went to go grab a chlorine tablet in the storage room, there was a note: Hey, ladies! Heard you were Bi, need a third? She pocketed the note and added the tablet to the tub. Kellie then walked over with her own cup of coffee and asked, “Where are we off to today?”
“Arizona,” Skie announced and she drank down her coffee and walked to drive the boat.
“You don’t want to just stay in California?” Kellie asked.
“We can always come back, but let’s try a different state,” she suggested.
“Okay,” Kellie shrugged as they set sail.
Skie felt like she could breath again when they set up in a marina by Arizona. They walked out to explore the area and shop. When they came back to the yacht though, there was another painting waiting for them on the couch.

“Are you trying to tell me something?” Kellie asked her when she saw the man with two women. “I mean if you want to hit on some men at the bar for free drinks, let’s go!”
She ran to put on a dress and Skie replied, “yep, let’s get out of here then.” They both went to a bar and started flirting. They picked out the hottest man who bought them drinks, his name was Sean.
“Want to come back to our yacht with us?” Kellie asked him.
“You ladies have a yacht, wow lucky me,” he slammed down the rest of his whiskey and followed them out.
“We have a hot tub too,” she teased as they came back to their abode. They started kissing and grinding on Sean while candles flickered over the water. All was just as planned until he grabbed one of the lit candles next to them and dropped the wax all over. The girls screamed with heated skin and ran out of the hot tub.
“Ladies, no come back, you need to be punished more,” he yelled after them running. They had a safe room on their yacht that only they can get into by retina scan. Kellie ended up there first but she couldn’t get in because of the tears in her eyes, but Skie came up just in time for them to get in. Sean slammed on the door and screamed at them.
“I have been following you bitches!” He yelled.
“Oh no, it’s him!” Skie panicked.
“Him who?” Kellie asked.
“The person who left those paintings in our boat,” Skie explained.
“Those weren’t yours?” Kellie fell to the floor.
“You can’t just throw stinging wax at people without asking them first!” Skie yelled.
“Oh come on, you sluts like like you are into bdsm! I am going to find an axe, and I’ll come back and hack this door down,” he yelled at them as he went to leave, stomping off. Skie ran through a secret passage to the exit of the yacht where he stomped to and Skie popped out and shoved him overboard with all her might and he fell flailing into the water.
“Girl power!” Skie yelled at Sean and stuck her tongue out at him.
“How did you suddenly get there?” He yelled.
“Secret passages,” she giggled as she called the police. When they came they explained he was an escaped convict and the girls went to change the retina scan to fingerprint.
“I get you were trying to keep me from worrying, but you can tell me we are being creeped on next time,” Kellie hugged Skie.
“Sorry, better communication next time for sure. Still ready to go find a third for the night?” She asked.
“Hell yeah, back to the bars!” They dressed for the night once again to bring a new man to their hot tub.
