The stifling, sultry night air filled the room.
He lay awake, watching the ceiling fan rotate, the gentle breeze falling across his naked body.
Not able to sleep, nor wanting to, he got out of bed and went into the kitchen. The clock on the microwave showed 4.30.
He opened the sliding door and stepped outside. The pre-dawn air was still and inviting. Warm mornings always made his body feel alive, electric: he wanted to be in it.
"The only place to be at a time like this is by the sea," he thought.
Dressing in just his shorts, socks and shoes, he was soon on his bike and heading down the deserted road towards the ocean. His body began to ache for the sweet caress of sand and salt water.
The smell of the sea reached him well before the gentle movement of the water could be heard.
He soon reached the track which lead down to the beach.
Now that he had stopped riding the stillness and heat caught up with him.
Not stopping to think or care, he removed his clothing and walked naked onto the sand, feeling at one with nature around him.
Dropping his clothing, he continued walking until he reached the edge of the still, dark water. The sea lapped at his feet, beckoning him. He decided to savor the moment by lying in the ankle deep water. He closed his eyes as sand and sea moved sensually over his body, cooling and energizing him.
It was then that he caught a movement out of the corner of his eye.
He turned his head to see a woman, just ten meters away, walking towards him.
His heart began to race; an amazing mix of excitement and fear came over his body.
He kept watching her as she moved towards him. As she came closer he could see her breasts moving freely under her t-shirt and her slender legs extending from the split in her button up skirt.
The woman continued her walk towards him, seemingly oblivious to the naked man lying in the sea.
She was soon behind him. He turned his head away from her, hoping that the woman would just keep walking. She did.
After she had passed him, he stood up and...
She turned. She was just meters away and looking right at him. He felt like an animal caught in the headlights of an oncoming car.
A sudden gust of hot, northerly air blew past him and lifted up the flap of her cotton skirt. He caught a glimpse of the tops of her legs and, to his amazement, her lovely mound of pubic hair. His heart skipped a beat. She wasn't wearing any underwear.
Despite his nervousness he could feel himself becoming aroused and pressure building around his groin.
Slowly, deliberately, she moved towards him, her nipples now plainly visible as they rubbed against her shirt.
Closer she came, and with each step he felt his dick becoming more erect.
"Don't scream," he thought "just don't scream".
