As far as Caroline was concerned it was just going to be another holiday at the beach. They went for a couple of weeks every year and she quite enjoyed the break. This one, she suspected, might be her last for a few years. She was eighteen now and when they returned she'd be starting work.
She was just strolling through the park, enjoying the sunshine. The heat of the morning was promising a hot day and Caroline couldn't be bothered doing anything too strenuous. There was a light breeze off the water that helped cool things a little, but only a little. She was halfway across the park when she met him.
Caroline was blonde and very nicely endowed, figure wise. Over-endowed, some of her more catty friends had been heard to insinuate, but Caroline ignored such remarks, quite content with what she had. If others were jealous that was their problem, not hers. Right now, making allowances for the heat, Caroline was without a bra, her charms covered by the elasticised top of her sundress.
A young man was standing on the path in front of her. He was a couple of years older than her, darkly handsome, looking fit and strong. He was smiling and Caroline was quite sure he was smiling at her. Still, she didn't know him and altered her path slightly to move to the side.
He had other ideas. When she moved aside he promptly mimicked the move, still standing in her path. She tried once more and the smiling youth blocked her again. She stopped. She was not going to play dodgem with a stranger.
"Hi. I'm Paul," he announced. "And you are?"
"Not interested," Caroline said calmly. "Do you mind not blocking my way?"
"Yes, I do mind. At least, I mind until you tell me your name."
"Caroline. Now if you'll excuse me?"
"Certainly. Just one thing before you go on your way. I feel I really need to apologise."
"For what?" asked Caroline, somewhat surprised.
"This," came the succinct answer, as he reached over and tugged down the top of her sundress, spilling her breasts into view, breasts over which his hands promptly closed.
"I was quite certain these were all you and I'm delighted to see I was correct," Paul told her, his hands busy caressing her.
There was a muffled shriek from Caroline as she took a hasty step backwards, moving rapidly to pull her dress back into place, her face burning as she did so.
"How dare you, you great oaf," she snapped, moving hurriedly to pass him, walking on down the path at a somewhat faster pace.
"Nice meeting you, Caroline," he called after her. "I hope you're here for a while because I'd like to see more of you."
From Caroline's point of view he'd already seen too much. She'd just as soon pass on meeting him again.
Strolling through the mall that afternoon. Just window shopping in the main, not that that couldn't change if she found the right outfit. A new bikini wouldn't go amiss, either. Looking at lingerie in Bras n Things when a hand caressed her bottom, lingering there.
"Wouldn't mind seeing you in that outfit," said a voice she recognised. "Or out of it, come to that."
"Do you mind?" she hissed, moving her bottom away from his stoking hand.
"No, not at all, but I suspect that you might. I suppose I owe you another apology?"
"Don't bother. Just go away."
"Don't be like that. We've only just met. Shouldn't we be sitting down to a nice cup of coffee and getting acquainted?"
"No, we shouldn't. Goodbye."
Caroline moved through the doors and into the shop, confident that Paul wouldn't dare follow her into that shop. She lingered for a while, giving him a chance to move along, relieved when she left to find that he had.
At the beach the next day with the rest of the family. Caroline relaxed on a towel, working on getting a bit of a tan. She had enough sun-screen to prevent a burn but it shouldn't preclude a nice tan. She was lying there, feeling sleepy in the warmth, when someone settled onto the sand beside her. Assuming that it was Brian, her brother, she didn't bother looking.
"How nice to see you looking so lovely," observed Paul. "Do you need additional sunscreen put on? I don't mind helping to apply it."
Caroline's eyes snapped open and she hastily clutched the front of her bikini top, not trusting Paul one little bit. In her opinion he was quite capable of pushing it up just so he could see her breasts again.
It was embarrassing to find that she'd made a slight mistake. His hand settled on her tummy and slid down, slipping under the front of the bikini bottom. Her eyes widened in shock and she hastily tried to sit up and hit out at Paul at the same time, face once again turning red. What was worse was that Paul managed to take advantage of her abrupt movement to encourage her bikini to slip downwards slightly, exposing that which she had no wish to be exposed.
"Natural blonde, I see," he said softly as she hastened to straighten her bikini back into place. "I thought you would be."
Looking quickly around Caroline spotted her brother down near the water, looking in her direction. She promptly waved to him, indicating that she wanted him.
"My brother's coming," she said with some relief. "You'd better leave now before he makes you."
"Problem?" asked Brian as he approached.
To Caroline's indignation Paul answered. He rose to his feet, smiling.
"No problem," he said. "I'm Paul. I met Caroline at the park yesterday and I was just renewing our acquaintance. She says you're her brother?"
"Ah, yeah, Brian's the name," Brian said.
Before Caroline could say anything Paul was already heading off, talking to Brian who automatically walked with him, leaving his sister to quietly fume. Her opinion of Brian wasn't improved when he told her that evening what a nice guy Paul was and how she could do worse.
The next day was another hot day. Brian and her father had already left, intending to spend the day fishing. One never knew; they might actually catch something. Caroline and her mother were going for a drive later that day, visiting some antique stores. For the time being Caroline was in the back yard, working on her tan.
"Well, what have we here," said a voice that she was beginning to hate.
Caroline opened an eye and glared at Paul, making sure she was holding both parts to her bikini while she did so.
"What are you doing here?" she demanded. "No. Don't bother telling me. I don't want to know. Just go away."
"I thought I'd spend some quality time with you. You know, talk about this and that, take off this and that, kiss you and seduce you."
"Not happening. If you don't go away I'll scream and my family will come running."
"Um, they'd have to run awfully fast," observed Paul. "Brian told me he and your father were going fishing today. I even gave him a tip as to where he could make the best catches. As for your mother, I saw her heading out in her car just a few minutes ago. Looks like it's just thee and me for the interim."
Where the hell had her mother gone, Caroline wondered. Not that it mattered. If she wasn't here she wasn't here and she'd have to deal with it.
"Well, I don't care. I want you to go away."
"And I want to see your lovely body without that bikini. I'll do a deal with you. You take off the bikini voluntarily and I'll go away."
"You've got to be kidding. If I took it off, which I won't, you'd be all over me like a rash. A very nasty rash."
"You may have a point there," admitted Paul. "I suspect that if you do take it off I'd want to touch and taste everything revealed. So, you're not going to oblige?"
Caroline gave him a nasty look for an answer.
"Up to me to help you, I guess," said Paul.
Caroline found it was hard to hold onto a bikini when a determined young man was intent on removing it. With one hand he removed the hand she was using to hold onto her bikini and with his other hand he started pulling her pants down. Once he had a grip he released her hand and both of his were on her pants, drawing them firmly down before she could stop him, taking them right off and tossing them to one side.
Caroline promptly hunched over her knees, wrapping her arms around them. A mistake she found, as it let Paul have free access to her back and the ties that held the top on. They didn't hold it on for long once he'd pulled the ties loose.
"If you stay hunched up like that I'm going to roll you onto your back. Guess what you'll be putting on display if I do that?"
Paul let Caroline consider that for a moment and she blanched as it became clear. If she was on her back with her knees tucked up to her chest. . . It didn't bear thinking about. She hastily straightened into a more normal position, one arm over her breasts while her hand tried to cover her groin.
"Much better," laughed Paul, "but you haven't gone far enough. Lie back and relax a little. I'm not going to rape you, honest. Pet you a little, I admit, but that's as far as I intend to go."
"Just because you say it, it doesn't mean I have to believe it," Caroline pointed out.
"True. Only one way to find out."
Hands on her shoulders he pushed her firmly so she was lying down. That accomplished he took her wrists and moved her arms away from her body, leaving her blushing nudity exposed to his eyes.
Leaning forward Paul lightly sucked on each nipple, looking pleased with himself as they puckered and pointed. Releasing her wrists his hands dropped to her breasts, lightly rubbing them.
"No," he said firmly when Caroline tried to cover herself again, and she hesitated.
A hand was on her mons, rubbing lightly and pushing its way between her legs. She gasped as his hand neatly cupped her mound and squeezed.
"Milk!" she exclaimed.
"What?" Now it was Paul's turn to be confused.
"We were out of milk. Mum said she was running down to get some. That's probably her car in the drive now."
"Well, damn. That is so not fair," exclaimed Paul. "I guess I'd better leave you for now. You are really quite lovely, you know."
