A warm, bright sun on a sublimely calm sea. A light breeze to keep things cool enough. Days like this are rare. Days like this call me to leave my usual surroundings and visit my favorite cove. It's small and hidden, and hard to get to. It's nestled between cliffs that make it almost invisible. Perfect. There are a few rocks on which to sunbathe, as well as a beach with the softest sand you can imagine. There's a tide pool too, full of small creatures.
It was on this perfect day in a perfect setting, when I sat on a rock and stuck my bare feet into the warm sand. I was so happy I decided to sing one of my happy songs. I have mournful songs too, but I save those for stormy days. Gray days when the wind, rain and waves lash at the shore and cause the sea birds to huddle together. But that's not now. Now is beautiful.
I sang for quite a while, with only the sea birds and the tide pool to keep me company. My music must have traveled far on this calm day, because a man came around the point in a tiny boat. The boat was bright yellow, low to the sea's surface, and very pointed. He looked like he was searching for the source of the music.
When he saw me, he looked surprised. I guess it's not often that a man comes round a point in a boat and finds a naked woman lying on a secluded beach. I stopped my singing, and he pulled up close to the shore.
"Was that you singing?" he asked. I nodded and felt my face redden. "You have an exquisitely beautiful voice."
I hung my head and smiled.
He steered the boat to the shore, and pulled it up on the sand. Then he looked up at the tall, treacherous cliffs surrounding the cove.
"Forgive me," he said, "I don't mean to intrude on your privacy, but how did you get down here? Those cliffs look really dangerous, and the rocks on either side of this cove are sharp and jagged."
The man was cute. He was blond, tanned, and he wore eye shades to shield his eyes from the bright sun.
I didn't want to speak. They say my singing voice is beautiful, but my speaking voice is so horrible it drives people away. I didn't want to drive this man away. I wanted him to stay. What better place to share the glory of this day than on this secluded beach?
I stood up, walked further up the sand, and beckoned him to follow. He must have thought I would show him how I got around the cliffs and rocks, but that's not what I had in mind. I sat down on the soft sand, and motioned for him to sit next to me. He gave me a questioning look, hesitated, then joined me.
"I'm Alex, by the way," he said, extending his hand toward me.
We shook hands. I didn't want to say my name, so I was silent. At last the silence got to him.
"What's your name?" he asked, with a note of impatience.
I put a finger to my mouth. Then I reached for his hand, and placed it on my breast.
"Hey!" he said, pulling his hand away. "No offense, but I don't even know your name. I get the whole thing about the two of us being in this secluded cove, but don't you think this is a bit fast?"
I felt my face drop, and it must have showed. I was surprised and saddened by his reaction.
"Okay," my new friend said with a sigh. "Won't you tell me how you got down here?"
I smiled and shook my head. Then I placed my finger on his lips.
"Oh, I get it. You want to play the whole anonymous thing full out, don't you?" he asked.
I grinned and nodded.
"Fine, I'll play along. So, here I am on a private beach with a beautiful, naked woman, and she won't even tell me her name. How's that for luck."
I was so pleased. I smiled and traced my fingertip along his lower lip.
"You're really..." he started to say, but I couldn't stand it. I had to taste him. I threw myself at him, landing on top of him. He was so surprised he had no time or instinct to resist. I kissed him hard and deep, my hands finding his and pressing them into the sand. He tasted of a delicious combination of sun, salt, skin, and a different, pleasant flavor I hadn't encountered before.
"Oh wow!" he said. "Today's my lucky day. Okay babe, if it's physical affection you're after, I've got a lot of it and to spare. So what if you won't talk to me?"
I was delighted to hear that. I kissed him again, this time feeling in his mouth for his tongue with my own. We drew each other in and played like happy otters playing in the surf.
My legs found their way between his, and our limbs quite happily entwined as we bit each other's lip tenderly. I could feel something growing inside his pants, getting harder and longer. I wanted to see it, taste it. Feel it inside me — anywhere inside me. That pole of his made me wet between my thighs.
I got up, then sat in his lap, my hips astride him. I undid the vest, then his shirt. Now I had access to his chest. It was covered in sparse hair. I leaned forward and took a light lick at his nipple, making him moan softly. That made me happy. I wanted to sing my joy to the sea, the land, the sky. But I had other things I wanted to do. His chest felt firm and secure, not soft and capped by two hillocks, like my own. I leaned forward still further and rubbed my chest against his. Heaven!
