Her mind and body were in agreement. That was an unusual occurrence, as often her mind craved the touch of a manβs hand, but her body, after a tiring day of work was too exhausted to take any initiative. Today was different. The summer sun had warmed her body, while the cool sea breeze carried away the excess heat. The early afternoon nap had refreshed her, and now her view of the beach volleyball game had quickened her interest. The tanned long legs and taut bodies of the bikini-clad young women were clearly admired by their shirtless male opponents and may have accounted for the close score of the game and the jeers of the females.
She placed her straw sun hat on her head, adjusted the slim straps of her brief suit and tucked her gauze cover-up over and around the white material covering her breasts. Ruefully, she acknowledged that without the right opportunity, the mind-body agreement would be wasted. She leaned over to dust the sand from her legs and began the long trek to the far end of the beach.
As she passed the game in progress, she had a momentβs lament. She longed briefly for the carefree youth of the players β late teens and early twenties β few responsibilities in the world β the single life. But the longing was momentary β and she settled her mind to the contentment of her own circumstances β a middle aged wife but with a firm body yet and a mind still readily moved towards lust. Some of these thoughts no doubt had surfaced during the light sleep she had fallen into on the warm sand. The rippling muscles of the male volleyball players were doubtless also in her mindβs eye as well when she formulated her plan.
She pondered her own need to diffuse responsibility for what she was contemplating. Perhaps the far end of this long beach was deserted. Indeed, the crowd was thinning as she left the game behind. Perhaps this would be just a simple caress of the warm ocean against her naked flesh. Perhaps her thoughts initially had been this straightforward. How nice it would be to feel the slight coolness of the sea across her nipples or between her legs. Perhaps the thought was merely to feel the power of the waves lift and carry her unclothed body as a man might carry her to his bed.
But her resolve was not that simple β she had resolved to shed all her clothing for this swim regardless of who might be found at the far end of this beach. But she could not be held responsible, could she? Fate controlled the presence or absence of those at end of the beach.
She strolled slowly, the breeze tugging at the thin fabric wrapped around her. Her eyes, covered by sunglasses, drank in the sight of the exposed flesh of couples lying on their beach towels she passed. She noticed two men; their bronzed bodies glistening in sweat tossing a Frisbee. They both turned to admire her as she drew even with them. An overthrow caused the Frisbee to drop at her feet, and the man apologized as he turned to retrieve it. She watched his smile as she bent over, picked up the plastic disk and sent it with a quick toss to his friend. He gave her a nod of acknowledgement and his gaze lingered on her body for a few extra heartbeats.
She returned his smile lazily and wet her tongue with her lips. The extra heat that she felt as she moved on was not the warmth of the sun. The nerves in her toes intensified the brush of the sand as she strolled, and she re-played the image of the two men in her head. The end of the beach was a distance yet and she imagined that her fingers would bring release as she swam. She was looking forward to reaching the bend in the beach past the rocks, peeling off her suit and sliding into the water.
Within a few minutes she found herself alone β while she could not yet see past the bend, there was now no-one before her. Her pareo was tied just above her breasts and descended to her knees. She reached behind her neck and undid the thin strap of her bikini top and pulled it over her head. The air grazed her breasts, hardly impeded by the thin material of her cover-up. She glanced down and saw how clearly her breasts were revealed β the dark areolas contrasting with the untanned skin. Her nipples were now thrice stimulated β the slight cool of the air β the light touch of the material but mostly from the thrilling thoughts that began in the erotic recess of her mind. These thoughts had consequences throughout her β they made her moist β they made her nipples hard β they accelerated her heart and her breath β they released restraints.
