It was summer and she was laying in the sun on a Mediterranean beach. She heard the sounds of the sea crashing on the shore, children laughing and shouting in the distance and adults chatting closer by.
She strained, trying to hear their conversation. They were young men who had walked past twice and then stopped nearby where they had spread out towels on the sand and stripped to their shorts. She had observed them through half-closed eyes and admired their fit, suntanned bodies and muscular arms and legs.
She didn't think they had seen her looking but did feel herself blush as the one closest adjusted his trunks and she noted the clear profile of what seemed to be a semi-erect penis. It made her think about the way that her own attire was revealing more of her body than she had intended.
She was wearing a bright red and yellow bikini that was designed to expose as much skin as possible - she wanted a maximum tan.
It was only when she had got to the beach, slipped out of her sundress and stretched out on the sunbed that she realised just how skimpy it was. She had tugged the seams down against the insides of her thighs before she stretched out in the sun but, after turning a few times, stretching and re-applying the suntan lotion, she realised that the material of the bikini bottom, now damp with sweat, had found its way between the cheeks of her bottom leaving all of her firm round cheeks open to view.
She felt sure that the young men were talking about her but she couldn't hear what they were saying.
She had arranged the sunbed with her toes towards the sea and head towards the other rows of beds. She was laying on her front, face turned to the left and the men were to her right.
She relaxed and the noises blended together in her head. She felt herself dozing.
She awoke with a start when cold water cascaded on her back. Turning quickly to dry it on the towel under her she struggled to open her eyes against the bright sun but it was only when her face became shaded that she could focus properly. As she did so she realised that she was looking right into the eyes of a dark haired, dark eyed young man who had stopped drying himself to apologise for disturbing her.
As he started to talk her first reaction was an involuntary smile because he was talking English with an appealing accent and looked genuinely concerned about disturbing her rest. Her second reaction was one of acute embarrassment when she realised that his eyes kept glancing lower on her body. That was when she felt the cool air on the smooth skin of her labia - where the bikini had disappeared between them.
He had been explaining how the sea water was cold and he had run beck to the towel, shaking his hair until he realised that it was splashing her back. But he stopped talking when he was sure that she had seen where he was looking .. and had not moved to cover herself.
She knew that she ought to turn and wrap herself in the towel but something stopped her from doing that.
She waited until he looked back at her eyes and then deliberately smiled at him, put her hands behind her head, elbows wide and laid back down on the sunbed. She watched as he lowered his gaze again and then let her knees fall apart.
She closed her eyes and concentrated on the feeling of the hot sun on her skin - on parts of her skin that she had not planned to expose but which she now wanted to show to him, to the young man still standing silently beside her.
"Do you want me?" she asked, her eyes still closed.
This time she had no problem hearing and understanding him when he replied,
"Yes, please .. I want you".
Back at her apartment she slipped off the light, button up sundress and stood before him in the bikini. He had pulled on some shorts for the short walk but they were light and she was already anticipating that she would feel him firm against her soon.
