David and Jessica walked down the beach hand in hand. It was still early, but the day was already starting to get warm. David leaned over and planted a smooch on his honey’s cheek, she smiled and sighed contentedly as they strolled.
It was their second day in Tahiti and the third day since their wedding. The long flight out to the islands had taken its toll and yesterday had been spent recovering, well, mostly recovering. Today, however, would be different, they were going to explore their little stretch of the island and then spend tonight seeing the sights in the little town near the resort.
“How far down do you want to walk sweetie,” asked David? “ I don’t know… Oooh, lets go over there where those trees are hanging down over the sand. We can sit in the shade a little so we won’t burn on our first day out,” Jessica replied. “Okay,” he said. It was best to leave beach real-estate selection to the expert.
As they got closer the trees turned out to be some sort of weird palm frond with branches that grew out from about ground level to spread out over the beach. It was a great shady spot. You could still see the ocean and sky out in front and the leaves let enough light through to still get a little tan. Best of all, David thought, it provided some privacy. If you moved closer to where the plants grew, people up and down the beach wouldn’t be able to see unless they walked right by. Not that there were many people around. The beach was by no means crowded and since they had walked away from the resort area, they had only seen three other people.
David spread their towels out side by side and smoothed them down over the sand while Jessica put their bag off to the side and sat down on her towel. “ Did you bring the sunscreen?” Of course she had, she was a pale honey after all. “ Yeah, do you need some more,” she asked? They had lathered up in the bungalow after breakfast before they left. Better to do it before you got to the beach and the sand started sticking to your hands.
“ What’s that smile for mister,” she said as David grinned at her.
“ Well, you said you would sunbath topless while we were here, and I though it might as well be now. I mean, no one’s around and there some shade so you won’t burn,” said David behind a grin.
Jessica sighed. “Fine…” she said with mock resignation, although David could tell she was kind of into it.
Of the three people they had passed on their walk this morning most had been indulging this Tahitian tradition. One couple had been walking in the surf, the woman had been a little older but was still attractive, she was topless and she certainly hadn’t sported any tan lines. The last stranger they had passed was a young woman; tan enough to be a native, lying out by herself. As they had approached she had looked up and casually lifted a pale blue sarong that was lying beside her and covered her hips but leaving her breasts exposed. David had purposely not looked over as they walked by, but it was tantalizing obvious that she was completely nude. The fabric of her skirt hadn’t covered much as she stretched out in the sun. Jessica hadn’t said anything as she gave his hand a quick squeeze, but you could tell even she enjoyed the view. There was something strangely non-sexual about public nudity, but it was wickedly wanton and definitely exciting.
Jessica turned her back toward him to let him undo her new bikini top. It was a cute swimsuit, he thought, but what’s underneath is nicer. David undid the clasp and pulled the straps off her shoulders, fighting the temptation to caress her. He put the top in the beach bag and pulled out the sunscreen. “ Okay, now lift your arms up,” David said. Jessica smiled a little nervously, no one was around but she was still naked in public. David placed some lotion on his hands and started massaging it into Jessica’s back where the bikini straps had been. He rubbed up along her shoulders before reaching underneath her arms to cup her breasts, gently covering them with his hands. She laughed as he kissed the side of her neck and started to softly rub the lotion over her breasts. When her nipples started to get hard he stopped and move his hands away exposing her skin to the sun and air again. He moved away and lay down on the towel beside her. She looked at him suspiciously as she scooted her butt down on the towel to lay on her back with her hands at her sides.
“ I love you huney,” he whispered at her. “ I love you too,” she whispered back. They grinned at each other as she closed her eyes and tried to relax despite the naughty tension of being naked. David was savoring the moment. He had wanted to do this since their trip to the Italy, but it needed to be in a place where it was no big deal to show a little skin. Yesterday, by the resort, there had been plenty of nudity, but he hadn’t suggested anything then, not wanting to make her uncomfortable around a crowd. Maybe if she got used to it they could run around naked before the honeymoon was over. That made David laugh; they were both too pale for that.
The day was very warm now, but with the shade and the cool ocean breeze it was still pleasant. David had just returned to his towel after a dip in the ocean. His suit clung to him as the air quickly dried his skin. He might have stayed in the water a little longer, but as he swam he had watched another couple walking up the beach. The area wasn’t as abandoned as it had been earlier, but almost no one had come close by. They were getting close now and David wanted to be next to Jessica when she realized that people were going to see her topless. Covering up wasn’t part of the deal.
