I have a few dozen stories here under the Gary_Alexander name. Somehow that account got screwed up so until I can move all the stories over here, that's where you can read them.
New stories (such as this one) will also turn up here, of course, especially if anybody seems to want them.

After a really brutal winter, which seemed as if it would never end (fuck you, Groundhog!), spring - or maybe even early summer - suddenly showed up with a vengeance, the temperature shooting up from yesterday's low 50s to the upper 80s.
And of course I had to work.
But when 5:00 rolled around, I was out of there like a shot, headed to the park a block way from my office. It was still very warm, and we had a good couple of hours of daylight, and I wanted to feel the sun on my skin. It was probably a little hazy to start giving my skin some color, but something was better than nothing, and just soaking in the heat would be nice.
Most of the park is just a big open field, a little larger than a football field. A few people were getting ready to leave, but the place was still packed with people not wanting to give up those last hours of warmth.
I found myself a spot between - but not uncomfortably close to - a family with two toddlers on one side, and a teenage girl sunbathing in a bikini on the other. She was on her stomach, and her top was untied in the back so she could sun her back. I wasn't sure I'd personally feel comfortable untying my top in such a crowded place, but I did wish I'd had the foresight to bring a bikini, or even wear one under my clothing instead of underwear.
I did have a beach blanket in the trunk of my car, though, so I spread it out and stretched out on my back and soaked in the rays. After few minutes I untucked my blouse from the waist of my skirt and rolled it up to the bottom of my bra, allowing sunlight to warm my belly.
And then, like a contented lizard, I guess I fell asleep.
It was close to sunset when I woke up and my first panicked impulse was to make sure my skirt hadn't shifted in any embarrassing manner (it hadn't, though my blouse had moved enough to show a hint of the very bottom of my red bra; no tragedy there), and next I made sure nobody had lifted my purse that had been lying alongside me (nobody had).
The family and the sunbathing girl were gone, but the girl had been replaced by a couple who seemed to be 20 or so, a year or two younger than me. They were both wearing cut-off shorts. Hers were pretty short, barely longer than bikini bottoms. Her top was cropped pretty high as well, so basically she was getting as much sun as she could without actually wearing a bikini.
Actually, I noticed, hopefully without seeming to stare, his shorts were pretty damn short as well.
He was lying on his back, and she had her head on his chest, his arm draped over her very exposed midriff. They looked very relaxed, but also... cuddly. I'd have gone elsewhere to give them some privacy, but we were the only people on this side of the park, and leaving and settling down elsewhere would seem sort of conspicuous.
Okay, just noticed that based on the guy's cut-offs, 'relaxed' wasn't the main thing on his mind. I should just go home and let them be.
They noticed I'd glanced at the guy's crotch. I quickly diverted my glance, which only made it more conspicuous.
She gave me a slight smile with a slight nod. The first time either of them had acknowledged my presence. I assumed that meant I should stay.
So I settled back down and closed my eyes, hoping to catch the last of the evening sun. But occasionally peeking over at them through squinting eyes. His hand was still on her belly, but it seemed to be moving steadily higher. Clearly if they'd been alone -- the growing bulge in his jeans was a giveaway - he'd have his hand on her breast by now, at the very least. Could that have been why she'd motioned for me to stay, for "protection"?
And just as I was thinking that, he skipped the last few inches of torso and planted his hand right onto her left breast. She lifted it up and placed it back on her torso. She whispered something to him, he whispered something back, she whispered again, then giggled.
