I woke to the sounds of the gentle waves crashing on the beach, some children playing in the distance, and a few birds chirping nearby in the trees. Slowly I open my eyes to the sight of Tim sitting naked in the lounge chair on the deck. I slowly got up, look for a towel to cover myself. Not seeing one, I decided not to worry about it and walked out to sit next to my husband. "Are you going to make it a habit to run around naked all the time?" I asked.
"Most likely, I see you enjoying the feeling too, honey."
"Yes, I love the feeling of freedom. So what's on today's agenda?"
"Well, Isabel told me about this secluded beach not too far away. Only a few of the locals go to, and the tourists don't know about it. I thought we could enjoy a day by ourselves."
"That sounds great; which bathing suit would you like me to wear?"
"Well, since I've only packed you three, and you've already worn two. I think we just won't worry about bathing suits today and save the last one for tomorrow.
"You sure can be predictable at times. Ok, I guess I'll just grab a blouse and a skirt." We grabbed some towels, masks and snorkels, and cameras. Then, we headed off for the beach, stopping at a local shop for some water and breakfast.
"How far is the beach?"
"Isabel told me it was 5 to 6 miles away."
"That's too far for me to walk in these sandals."
"I know, that's why she said you have to take the local bus and get off at the fourth stop. It's supposed to have a big rock." We walked to the bus stop, got on the bus. There were lots of the locals, their children, and a few chickens. The bus was hot, and it stunk of animals. Luckily it was only a short ride. The bus stopped at what we hoped was our stop.
Tim, pointing, "I think that is the big rock Isabel mentioned." We were the only ones to get off.
"I hope your right. There is nothing else around here." I said as the bus sped off. " Where do we go now?"
"Isabel said that we need to walk back the way we came about a hundred feet or so. There should be a little path off to the side marked by a piece of fabric."
We walked back towards the town and came across a yellow G-string hanging off a branch. Behind it was a small path leading towards the beach.
"That's an interesting way to identify the path."
"I know, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
The path was narrow, with thick brush on both sides. There was just enough room to get thru. The path opened up to a beautiful secluded cove with emerald green water glistening in the sunlight and soft sand. The rock formations made it impossible for the average beachgoer to walk around them on both ends.
"Tim, this is so beautiful. No one else is here. I hope we can have this to ourselves."
"It sure is." Tim turned to the left, walking down towards the rocks. Before we got to them, he stopped.
"Here, we are far enough away from the path, so if anyone else comes, we won't be the first thing they see." We spread out the towels, Tim strip down naked, I followed and took off all my clothes.
"The water is so beautiful. I'm going swimming," I said.
"I'm going to join you," he said. We ran into the water like children, playing and splashing each other. The water was cool and refreshing. We swam around for a little while.
"I'm going to go get my mask and snorkel. Do you want yours?" Tim asked.
"Sure, that sounds like a great idea."
"I'm also going to get my underwater camera so that I can take pictures of the fish and coral."
"Ok." He went back to the towels for the stuff, returned handing me my mask. We put them on and started snorkeling around the rocks, looking at all the beautiful tropical fish and the brilliant colored corals. Tim would dive down with his camera, take pictures, then come back to the surface.
"I'm getting some good pictures of the fish," he said.
Every so often, he would take a picture of me when he thought I wasn't looking. In the past, I have allowed him to take nude photos of myself, but sometimes he wanted me to pose in positions that exposed more than I wanted to. But today, I was feeling frisky and figured I would let him have his fun. So when he thought I wasn't looking, I spread my legs to expose my labia for his picture. A couple of times, I spread my lips too.
We had been swimming for a while, and I was becoming waterlogged. "I'm going back to dry off and soak up some sun."
"I'll be up there in a few seconds." He said
Getting out of the water, I noticed that there was still nobody else on the beach. I sat on the towel and thought to myself, what a beautiful, picture Est spot we had found. Finally, Tim came out of the water and sat next to me. He was looking at the pictures he had taken of the sea life. "Can I see them?"
"Sure." He leaned over to show me the screen. There were some fish, a tiny horseshoe crab, and a little seahorse. The following picture was of me. It was taken from below. The light shimmered through the water and fell on my body. My hair was flowing freely. It looked so natural.
"This picture is so beautiful; we should take more like that. I like the way they make me look." But not right now, in a little while after I get some sun."
I'd be more than willing to do that for you, honey." He said with a smile on his face.
We laid on the towels soaking up the warm tropical sun, listening to the gentle waves lapping on the beach. It was almost hypnotic, creating a trance. I think I might have even dozed off for a few minutes.
"I'm getting hot. I'm going back to do some more snorkeling with the camera." Tim said.
"I'm hot too. This would be a good time for you to take some pictures." We grabbed the masks and waited back in the water. Snorkeling, Tim took some pictures of me on the surface and from underneath. I would take short dives where he could take photos from all angles.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that there was another person snorkeling. As they got closer, I could make out it was a female, also nude, a bit familiar. She swam towards us, finally getting close enough that I recognized her. It was Isabel. Poking my head out of the water, I looked over to her; she pulled the snorkel out of her mouth, "Hello, I thought I recognized you from last night. Do you mind if I join you?"
"No, not at all," Tim said. "Kim and I are just taking some pictures."
"Would you mind taking some of me? I don't have any of me in the water."
"Sure, not a problem." Tim would switch between taking some pictures of me then some of Isabel
"My skin is getting wrinkly. I'm getting out of the water."
"Ok, I'm getting out too," Tim said.
"I'm getting out too," said Isabel. We got out of the water, walk to the towels, and dried off. After sitting down, Tim started looking through the pictures. "Let me see," I asked as I moved closer.
"Can I see too?" Isabel asked. We started scrolling through the photos
"That's a good one, Tim." It was a picture of myself, taken from underneath. I was floating, arms and legs stretched out in a relaxed open position. The sunlight was shining directly between my legs, illuminating my labia. The next one was a close-up. I was floating on my back. The lower part of my face and breasts were the only things above the water. With the sun behind me, the light reflected across my wet skin, highlighting my erect nipples.
Next was one of Isabel. Tim had caught her as she was swimming. Her body turned to the camera, her left arm stretched forward, her right arm against her side. Her left leg was in a downward motion while her right was upwards. This position exposed both her breasts and labia to the camera. There were some more photographs equally as good.
"These are perfect," Isabel said.
"They sure are. Why don't you use the other camera and take some more pictures of us on the beach?" I asked. "How about it, Isabel? Are you up for that?"
