Rehabilitation at the Beach
As I laid my nude, aging body back and exposed it to the world, the heat of the mid-day sunâs rays striking every part of it felt good.
Yeah, I was exposed to the world, but Iâd found a quiet, secluded spot, which provided well deserved relaxation after a long ten days of strenuous work, where no one would wanderânot that Iâd wanted anyone to pass by.
As a matter of fact, itâd been so long since Iâd needed (or wanted) anyone for companionship, the wanting had disappeared long agoâit was no longer requiredâbut I didnât mind.
I closed my eyes and drifted from days of past to that day. I wanted yesterday so bad, but was stuck with the problems of the present. Brief moments of joy enclosed me each time I had memories of past days, but those, too, were soon lost as I was pulled back to the present as if a voice was calling out to me.
It took a few seconds to realize the voice wasnât within my mind but coming from behind me. I shook my head to clear my thoughts, opened my eyes, and looked up. I saw her standing over my shoulders as her white shirt was blazing in the sun.
Still believing my mind was lost in the past, I searched for reality, for there I was, visiting a nudist beach, and yet, someone behind me was apparently clothed. I wiped my eyes to try to clear the vision above me, and the more I rubbed, the clearer she became, but still wearing that white shirt.
It was too late to react for there I sat, or rather semi-reclined, on a beach chair and naked to the world. What I had was clearly visible even though some may not think it to be much.
I managed a weak hello.
âUm, hello.â
She motioned to the lounge chair that sat across from me.
âIs anyone sitting there?â
âNo.â
I was still trying to determine why someone who was dressed would be on a nudist beach.
âMay I?â
I nodded yes.
I felt her hand touch the wooden frame of my chair as she moved around me. I looked at the shirt flowing over her shouldersâit was a bit large but apparently comfortable during the heat of the day. It wasnât until sheâd gone as far as the foot of my lounge that I suspected she was wearing only the shirt and nothing else.
Unfortunately, the shirt was long enough to cover her hips, but I could see her legs emerging from beneath it. They were exquisite and well worth the price of being exposed to a younger woman. Iâd only seen her face briefly when as she glanced back as she moved to her chair, not at the start when she spoke to me.
Young? Yes, but her walk and manner were classic as she dropped her beach bag at the side of the chair. As she bent over slightly, her shirt pulled upward to show more of her thighs.
She stood beside her chaise, turned as she sat down on the edge of it, kept her legs low as she raised them from the ground, and pivoted on the chaise as she laid them to rest along it. She had her knees slightly elevated, which hid my view of her legs as I could see nothing more than her calves, knees, and the white of her shirt.
She reached down, found the opening of her beach bag, pulled a paperback novel from it, and grasped it with both hands before resting them over her bosom. She couldnât have read more than a paragraph before she slowly lifted her eyes away from her book until she was looking into my eyes.
Her voice was clearer and less informal than before.
âHi, Iâm Kathy.â
I couldnât help but think about what sheâd seen when her eyes moved past the top of the book, but it didnât matter because sheâd obviously seen more when she stood behind me.
I stammered because I was unsure whether or not a conversation would follow or only a brief politeness until she returned to her book.
âI...Iâm Bruce.â
The latter was correct. I watched as she lowered her eyes to my crotch again (only slower that time), paused, and then glanced down to her novel.
A touch of disappointment overcame me as I wouldâve appreciated some conversation that was more than only a âHi.â
I watched as her eyes moved back and forth along the lines of the page. Otherwise, she laid there motionless, except for the odd itch of her ankle as she moved her other foot against it and slowly rubbed it. Each time it happened, I hoped for the movement to shift her blouse and expose more of her thighs, but it didnât happen.
She did momentarily lift her eyes, now and then, to see if I was still there. More than thirty minutes had passed, the heat of the day was starting to reach its peak, and yet, I still felt alone. I wasnât the only one who felt the heat!
Kathy finally rested her open book on the edge of the chaise. She wiped the brow of her forehead to remove the perspiration thatâd beaded there and was threatening to break free and slip onto her face. She wiped her fingers, starting at her shoulders, onto her chest, which turned the material translucent as it clung to her breasts.
I looked up just as she was slowly (as if she had all day) beginning to unfasten the buttons of her blouse. One by one, the buttons were unfastened and exposing more of her cleavage as the sides of her blouse opened and rested against her breasts.
Finally, as she struggled with the last button, the tail of the shirt fell to her side. She grasped the loose ends, pulled them back for a moment, and then lifted them up. I waited (patiently) for the shirt to be slipped from her shoulders so I could enjoy the moment when she, too, would be naked from the waist up.
No sooner had she pulled the shirt from below her, she wrapped the ends under her breasts, pulled them tight, and tied them into a knot. For but a split second, her left breast had slipped from her cover but once again disappeared as she secured the shirt.
The wait was worth it to be able to see her firm, tanned, breast and the tiniest nipple. Sheâd given me the smallest, but hopeful, glimpse of her breast, which bore the proof of nude sunbathing. I was content to gaze upon the depth of the cleavage her breasts as they were suspended inside of a cloud of white cloth.
Again, she reached down, picked up the book, and gave me a quick glance.
