It was a nice day and I was down at the beach, feeling restless and not really knowing why. I didn't want to swim, I didn't want to sunbake, I didn't want to meet up with mates for a game of something, I just wanted something else. The trouble was that I didn't know what.
I just strolled about, idly chatting to some of the girls that I knew. That's when I ran into Olivia. I've known Olivia for ages. We were never more than casual friends for some reason. I'd asked her out a time or two but she'd declined, usually having a steady boyfriend. When she didn't, I would have a steady girl, so we just never clicked.
"Alex," she said, nodding to me. "What's up? You look like little Bo Peep looking for her sheep."
"Olivia," I replied, nodding in my turn. "Just restless I guess. Not sure what I want."
"Well, there are a lot of attractive young things littering the beach and I understand that you're between girlfriends. Why don't you wander around and see if you can collect a new one?"
"A possibility," I admitted, "but I don't really feel like working at it right now." I gave a short laugh. "Ah, without wanting to sound offensive what I really need is to drag one of these lovely young things behind the bushes and work off some of my frustrations on her nubile young body."
"That might work," Olivia said with a giggle, "but the sweet young thing might object."
"True that. Any suggestions?"
"Try one of the wives. It's rumoured that a couple of them play around a little."
"Really? Which ones?"
She gave me a couple of names. Janet didn't surprise me. She'd played around a lot before she was married so I saw no reason why she wouldn't now. I was speaking from personal experience where the before the marriage was concerned. The other name did come as a surprise.
"Rosemary? You're kidding. She always struck me as cold blooded and very much a prude."
"I know, but that's the rumour, although nobody I know is prepared to substantiate it."
"Doesn't matter anyway. I'm not interested in Janet and I'm not sure I'd be game to proposition Rosemary. She's the type to shout her offence to the skies if she felt like it."
"True. She does have this tendency to enjoy belittling people. I guess you'll have to go on safari and see what you can find."
I gave Olivia a thoughtful look. She was tastefully dressed in a white bikini than didn't leave much to the imagination. She also had an excellent figure and if we were discussing nubile young things she fell right into that category.
"Now why would I want to go on safari when you're right here," I asked her, "and your house is just over there? A very short walk away."
"How delicately you put it," Olivia said with another little giggle. "Of course, you do realise that just over there, in my house, my husband is sitting, swigging beer and watching TV. I suspect that he might not be too happy if I brought a guest home."
"That is a bit of a drawback," I admitted. "However, for old time's sake, and upon contemplation and a review of the landscape I notice that there is some significant shrubbery over yonder, shrubbery that would hide any illicit activities from both the beach and from those houses, including yours. Or should I say especially yours."
"Now, Alex, you don't really think that I'll let you take me behind the bushes so you can have sex with me, do you?" Olivia said in a very chiding fashion.
"Well, yes," I admitted. "I never got a chance to seduce you while we were teenagers and it seems to me that this will be my last chance. It's also just what I need to pull me out of the doldrums. You could consider it your charitable good deed for the day."
"Come on, Alex. You can't be serious. I couldn't do that."
"Sure you can. Tell you what. To help you decide I'll force you."
"Are you kidding? Force me?"
I smiled and placed my hand very lightly on her back, the tips of my fingers just pressing against her very lightly.
"Uh-huh. Force is now in effect. Just move along now."
Olivia started moving along with only the barest touch of my hand against her.
"You're being ridiculous, you know?" she grumbled. "It's not as though I'm going to go along with this."
The protest was all well and good but it would have been a lot more effective if she'd displayed any sort of resistance to my touch. A toddler could have stopped and not been moved by the force I was exerting.
When we reached the gap in the shrubbery that I was aiming for I moved my hand to her side and gave a gentle tug. She obediently changed directions and moved into the shrubbery with me.
"Oh, come on," she said, blushing slightly. "You're not really going to try and have sex with me."
Seeing we'd reached a convenient place where we had room to move but were hidden from view I stopped. I turned Olivia so that she was facing me.
"I have often wondered what you would look like naked," I said softly, reaching for the bottom half of her bikini and starting it on its downward journey.
