I reached out for a towel as I stepped from the shower, and wrapped it around my waist without bothering to get dried, knowing that I'd dry off soon enough in the heat of the early morning sun. I grabbed another towel and rubbed my hair as I walked through the bedroom and out onto the balcony of my hotel room. The heat hit me straightaway -- it was going to be another hot day, which was hardly surprising as the heat wave that had hit southern Europe had lasted over a month already.
I looked across to the Turkish coast, which was only a few miles away from this part of Kos. The hills were shrouded in a mist which would soon burn off as the sun rose higher. Glancing over towards the hotel pool, I spotted a few people already sat out despite the early hour, eager to enjoy some sun before it became unbearable. I didn't mind the heat, so I was happy to take my time. After all, I was on holiday -- a holiday I really needed.
I tossed the towel over the back of a chair, sitting down as I brushed my sandy hair back with my fingers. I swung my legs around, and rested my feet on the balcony rail. I slide down a little in the chair, the towel around my waist coming loose as I got comfortable. I closed my eyes and leant back, enjoying the feel of the sun on my face.
I'd been here for just over a week now, with the rest of the fortnight I'd booked still to come. The hotel suited me fine -- it was fairly up market, in a quiet location, with a good pool and no kids around to spoil the quiet break I was after. All I wanted to do was to try and relax after the last six months, after the change of jobs I hadn't planned, after an accident that took several weeks out of my life -- and after a bitter divorce from a woman I should never have married.
Thankfully there were no kids involved, but that was hardly surprising given that our marriage lasted about five minutes. And that felt too long! I laughed to myself -- when I made mistakes, I made them big time! But at least I was still young enough to get on with my life.
Still smiling, I stood up, not worrying as the towel dropped away from my waist. I made a half hearted grab for it, and trailed it after me as I walked back into the hotel room. I glanced around, looking at the usual jumble of half worn clothes that I always managed to collect on holiday. I grabbed a pair of shorts from the chair I'd dropped them on the previous evening, and looked around for some swimming trunks. I soon found what I needed, and walked back through the sitting area to the bedroom.
As I walked, I caught sight of myself in the mirror. I'm not normally vain, but I had to stop and look as I realised how well my tan was coming on -- and how white my bum now looked in contrast! I know it's probably not the best thing to do, but somehow having a tan has always made me feel good, especially now. At a little under six feet, I suppose I'm of pretty average height, but my time in the gym has at least kept me lean and firm.
I reached for my cock while I stood there, idly stroking my shaft. I grew rapidly, my cock standing out thick and firm within seconds. It was hardly surprising given the lack of exercise I'd had in that department over recent months!
"You must be feeling better," I told myself in the mirror, before walking back towards the bedroom, my cock waving in front of me as I gathered up some more clothes before dressing quickly.
I walked down to breakfast, my bag over my shoulder. I felt happier and more relaxed than I had all week, perhaps for months. I wandered through the restaurant and out onto the veranda. I quickly found a table out in the open, and smiled brightly at Eleni, the waitress. The restaurant staff were happy for you to sit wherever you liked, but somehow having met Eleni on my first night at the hotel, I was more than happy to stay in her area. Maybe the fact that she was extremely pretty was something to do with it!
"How are you this morning?" she enquired in her slightly accented English.
"I'm feeling great," I told her emphatically, her eyebrows rising at the strength of my feelings.
We both smiled, and chatted for a few moments while she poured the coffee she knew I'd have to kick start my day. We talked as I took longer over breakfast than I normally would, as she popped back to the table. She really was easy to talk to, and we talked far more than over the previous few days. It wasn't long before her eyebrows were raised again as our chat became more and more flirtatious.
I couldn't help but watch her as she moved around the other tables near me. She moved with an elegant ease, and I quickly realised that she wasn't just extremely pretty, she was quite beautiful. I would guess that she was in her mid twenties, petite and maybe a few inches over five feet tall. Her hair was black, hanging half way down her back. Her olive skin looked soft, and was lightly tanned. Her white blouse clung softly to her breasts, her black skirt to her ass. Her legs were bare, the heels doing just enough to emphasis their shapeliness.
She turned around and caught me looking at her. I looked away guiltily, suddenly aware of my stirring cock, but not before I'd seen the smile that crossed her face. Suddenly tongue tied and dry mouthed, I smiled my thanks at her and left hurriedly, thankful for the baggy shorts I'd worn.
I headed straight down to the pool, and found a free sun bed and umbrella. It wasn't that hard, as most people headed off to the beach during the day, leaving the pool area nice and quiet. I dropped my bag next to a sun bed, and quickly stripped off my shirt and shorts. After pulling the sun bed out from under the shade of the umbrella, I settled down in the sun with a book.
The morning drifted by as I read a bit, swam a bit and just relaxed, retreating under the sun umbrella from time to time as the sun got hotter. From under the shade, I looked around the pool. It was a bit busier now, with most people enjoying the sun or a swim. It was mainly couples dotted around, and for the first time since I'd arrived I took a real interest in some of the women around me in their skimpy bikinis, some of them topless.
I smiled to myself yet again as my cock stirred. I rolled over on my sun bed, my brain telling me to behave, my cock saying something totally different.
After one more swim, I quickly rubbed my hair, dropped my towel back on the sun bed, and wandered around the pool to the outdoor bar for a cold beer, combing my hair back into place with my fingers as I walked. The barman smiled as I approached, and the beer was waiting for me by the time I slipped onto the bar stool in front of it. I watched the world go by as I sipped at my drink, occasionally chatting to the barman between customers.
I was only aware of the couple sliding onto the stools next to me when the barman set their drinks down in front of them. I half listened as they chatted to him for a few moments, before he went off to serve someone else.
"Hi."
Her voice was husky, and at that moment incredibly sensual.
""Hi," I murmured back, suddenly all too aware of her as she leant closer to speak.
"So what are you here to get away from?" she asked.
I looked at her quizzically.
"Young man like you," she laughed, "On his own ... must be getting away from something."
She looked at me intently, and it suddenly struck me that she must have noticed me around the pool as much as I'd noticed her. I'd seen her most days, and found it hard not to stare. She seemed to be in her early thirties, but looked younger, about my age, while the man she was with -- her husband judging by the slim gold ring on her finger - was maybe a few years older again.
