"A young American tourist meets a sabra lifeguard on Gordon Beach. What starts as a rescue becomes something far more intense under the Mediterranean sky."

שקיעה בתל אביב

Tel Aviv Sunset


פרק ראשון | Chapter One

The Mediterranean waves crashed against Gordon Beach as Sarah struggled with the current.

"!סליחה! את צריכה עזרה" — "Excuse me! You need help!"

Strong arms pulled her to shore. Dor was bronzed, muscular, every inch the Israeli lifeguard.

"תודה רבה," she gasped. "Thank you so much."

"את מדברת עברית?" His eyebrows rose. "You speak Hebrew?"

"קצת. אני לומדת." "A little. I'm learning."


פרק שני | Chapter Two

"בואי, אני אקח אותך למקום בטוח." "Come, I'll take you somewhere safe."

His lifeguard station was small, private. He wrapped a towel around her shoulders, his hands lingering.

"מאיפה את?" "Where are you from?"

"ניו יורק. באתי לבד." "New York. I came alone."

"לבד?" His eyes darkened with interest. "Alone?"

"לבד." She met his gaze. "Alone."


פרק שלישי | Chapter Three

"הישראלים ישירים מאוד," he said, moving closer. "Israelis are very direct."

"אני יודעת." "I know."

"אז אני אהיה ישיר. את יפה מאוד." "So I'll be direct. You're very beautiful."

His kiss tasted of salt and sun. Her hands found his chest, still warm from the beach.

"!כאן? מישהו יכול לראות" "Here? Someone might see!"

"אז בואי נסגור את הדלת." "Then let's close the door."


פרק רביעי | Chapter Four

The small station became their private world. His body against hers, waves crashing outside.

"!יופי של אישה" he groaned. "What a beautiful woman!"

Her Hebrew lessons hadn't prepared her for this. "!עוד... עוד" "More... more!"

"?את בטוחה" "Are you sure?"

"!כן, בבקשה" "Yes, please!"


פרק חמישי | Chapter Five

Afterward, they watched the sunset paint the sky orange and pink through the station window.

"זאת הייתה הצלה הכי טובה שלי," he laughed. "That was my best rescue."

"אני צריכה להיות מוצלת שוב מחר?" "Do I need to be rescued again tomorrow?"

"כל יום, אם את רוצה." "Every day, if you want."

She stayed in Tel Aviv three more weeks. Every sunset, she was at Gordon Beach.


הסוף | The End

בתל אביב, השמש שוקעת על הים, והלבבות עולים זה לזה.

In Tel Aviv, the sun sets on the sea, and hearts rise toward each other.
