I was strolling along the beach one day. I had nothing to do and plenty of time in which to not do it and that was the way I liked it. It was a warm sunny day and there was quite a crowd, noisy and having fun.
This particular beach was quite wide, merging with a stretch of parkland, with kid's play areas and lots of grass, neatly trimmed. There was also quite a bit of undulating land within the parks, which kids always enjoy.
Have you ever watched kids rolling down a hill? Down they go, rolling and shrieking in delicious fright, only to go scrambling back up to do it again. There were a bunch of kids doing that, some of them surely in their early teens, but reverting to childhood for a bit of fun. Suggest to them that they might like to roll down a hill at the beach and you'd be met with looks of the utmost horror. Such a thing would be totally beneath their dignity. But leave them alone and not notice what they were doing and away they'd go.
I watched the kids for a short while, amused at their antics and enjoying the fact that they were having fun. Then I continued on my way. I was walking along the fine line that divided beach from park. To my right, just past the dunes of sand, was the beach and the families enjoying the day at the beach. To my right was a long sloping hill and on the other side of that hill the park people, with kids enjoying the play areas and rolling down the hills. And in my immediate vicinity? No-one. I had managed to be alone in a crowd. Not a bad effort.
It didn't stay that way for long. A figure popped up over the crest of the hill to my right. From what I could see, and having excellent eyesight I saw a great deal, the person was a quite pretty young woman who at first glance I'd say was about twenty. She had a very nice figure, fetchingly displayed in a bikini.
I had to revise my estimate of her age sharply downwards. She stood there for a few moments, surveying the long slope of the hill, running all the way down to the sand. Then she cast a look behind her to see if anyone was watching her. Apparently not as she dropped to the ground, angling herself across the slope of the hill and started rolling.
She came tumbling down, rolling round and round, letting out little squeaks of fright and thrill, heading towards the bottom.
"This," was my immediate thought, "is not going to end well."
There were two little problems that I could see. The hill was reasonably long so the young woman was going to pick up a bit of speed. That was fine if she came rolling onto the sand, which would slow her down. The other problem was that the hill ended rather abruptly, with a three foot drop onto the sand. She was going to shoot off the bottom of the hill and take flight.
I hurried to get to where she would terminate her journey but got there just a fraction late. She shot off the end of the hill and found that she didn't have wings. What she did have was gravity. She didn't even have time to scream before she crashed down into the sand and lay there, gasping for breath.
I hurried up and crouched down beside her.
"Ouch," I said to her. "Just lie still for a moment."
I ran my hands over her arms and legs, just giving her a quick check out. I didn't think she'd hurt herself, just slightly winded and shocked.
"When I saw you at the top of the hill I thought you were about twenty," I informed her. "As you came barrelling down the hill I guessed maybe fifteen. Which guess was closer?"
She'd stopped gasping and seemed to be breathing normally. She gave me an irritated look.
"I'm twenty," she admitted. "I was just having a little fun."
"I noticed," I said dryly. "Too bad about the sudden stop. Not that you could tell it was there. Hurting anywhere?"
She shook her head, which relieved me somewhat. It would have been a pain if she had hurt herself, especially for her. I'd have just dialled for help. As it was. . .
I reached for the bottom half of her bikini and started drawing them down. My action was so unexpected that I actually had them down off her bottom before she reacted.
"What are you doing?" she squealed, reaching down to grab at them and prevent them going even further down.
"Ah, I would have thought it was obvious," I pointed out. "I was removing your bikini."
"I can see that," she snapped, trying to pull them back up. "Let go. Why are you trying to remove my bikini?"
"It struck me as a fine idea to peel off your bikini and ravish you," I explained. "We're reasonably private here so I thought, why not?"
"Why not? Because I don't want you to for a start."
"Um, that's why it's called ravishment. It's against the woman's will."
"Then if it's against my will, why are you trying to do it?"
"It's not against my will," I pointed out, tugging sharply at the bikini and pulling it out of her hands. With that I snatched it far enough down that she couldn't reach it easily.
"Just stop it. Leave me alone or I'll scream."
"Um, you don't want to do that."
"Why not?"
"Because if you scream, people will hear you and someone will come. Probably several someones, especially if you yelled fire. People always run to a fire."
"Well that's what I want," she stated triumphantly. "You can't go ahead and assault me if other people are here."
"Correct, and that's why you'd be silly to scream."
She blinked and shook her head.
"Your logic went by me so fast I didn't get to take it in," she said. "Please elucidate. And give me back my pants."
"If you scream I will have to depart without ravishing you," I pointed out, finally removing the bikini from her kicking feet and tossing it down next to her. "If I don't ravish you then you miss out on the fun of being ravished at the beach and you won't have a great anecdote with which to shock your friends. Can't you just see yourself with a group of your friends? Let me tell you about the time I was ravished at a public beach by a leather-clad bikie, surrounded by a crowd of people. I was dragged in to the bushes and gagged while he had his wicked way with me. I was never so frightened in my life."
I grinned at her.
"It would be a great story and think of all the embellishments you could give it."
"You're not a leather-clad bikie, and to get the story I'd also have to get the ravishment."
My hand dropped upon her mons and I started rubbing.
"I can ride a bike and I have a leather jacket. As for the ravishment, well, yes, that's rather central to the story."
"Take your hand off me. Do you really think I'm the sort of person who would let a stranger have sex with me?"
I sort of did as requested. I moved my hand away from her mons. It still didn't please her as I just shifted it to the top of her bikini. I hooked a finger under the bottom of it and dragged it up and over her breasts, letting them pop into view.
"I'm not asking you to let me have sex with you. Ravishment, remember. You're perfectly entitled to fight me off. You may even do so successfully, leaving me to retire, stage left, twirling my moustache and muttering, curses, foiled again. All I'm suggesting is you don't scream and get outside help. What could be fairer than that?"
