Nicely done. But toying with people's imaginations ought to be illegal! (smiley face here)
Desereted - deserted?
Unshroud yourself. - I like it!
I feel like this piece wanted badly to be a poem.
Best wishes.

    Yes, it likely was, but despite Jimminy saying dreams come true, it went rogue and became a story, with a dash and sprinkling of rhyming. Thanks Wayne. Nice to hear from you once more.

I enjoyed this very much. One typo to correct (a small one!)-In Paragraph 2, "Being The Sleuth" does not need a comma after it.
As for the final line, I believe it is: "So we drift on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly to the past."

    Grammarly accepted it either way.
    Thanks for the comment and the added last line.

    Of course, the last line was from "The Great McGonickle" or something like that, from an unknown writer named F. Scott Puett.

    Thanks for realizing it was a reverie. Many have reviewed as if it was a real event. Me? I'm not telling.

Tom, I think you have a well-written story. Just enough humor for it to hum along. A little romance never hurt a thing, great pictures, and, of course, no doubt an out-and-out lie that this never happened. I think you got a vote-getter here. Terry.

She said sweetie pie, are you reliving how we met again? These days every pair of panties I put on becomes an instant thong. And, I spend my days digging the fabric out of my more than ample behind, when years past I wore that stuff on purpose. Wanna go take a little nap (winking flirtatiously). "Honey",I said,"have you got something in your eye?" "Just you", she said. How is that? Karen

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is Tom at his best with a story told with humor, fantasy, and a great story with some very real human characteristics - less smoothness and more clumsiness.
I love this line:
"Could she be satisfied with smooth, I thought, for how sophisticated can one be with a tongue hanging out?'

    And yet I think people wonder when meeting me in person, what a curmudgeon he must be. Why? I think I have a Mona Lisa smile and when added to my stoicism I fall short of being warm.
    Thanks for your support. You are aces in my book. Tom

Lol what a tall tale you tell. You have described the scene very well and with humour. I guess we all have our own never-was-never-will-be reveries as I know I do. An enjoyable read. Good luck.

    If our paths have crossed in the past it has been infrequently. I thank you for stopping in and partaking of my ... individuality. If you stay with me you'll see, for even I never know where the road will take me. Thanks foor stopping by. Tom
    Thank you.

I'd say from what I've seen so far that, no taut and tender bum is ever safe from your wandering lenses. And lucky for us, your regular readers, we get to wish we where but a frisky sand flea. Thanks for sharing.

    In this case the life of one frisky sand flea eliminates my desire of the life of a pirate IF the bite of my affection is either of the classy lassie captured through my lens. 🤓

Yes, I'm sure it never happened that way but you have an appreciation for bikini clad beauties as your photography shows and you aren't above indulging in a little fantasy, if only on paper. LOL
