I came awake with a start. I must have dozed. I stirred and the rock beneath me reminded me of its hardness beneath my back. I opened my eyes slowly. I squinted at the sun's silver gold reflections off the sea below me and the shadowy image of rocks.
My eyes closed again and I was filled with a glorious sensation of indulgence at this chance to escape for a week in the Greek islands. I was confused. The prize, a dream vacation, was a week for two, why didn't Stan come with me? I remembered madly ringing my friends to see who might be free. In the end I'd come on my own. So here I was, out of the high season, sunbathing in a secluded spot on the rocks that I'd found some minutes' walk beyond the end of the popular beach.
I opened my eyes again without lifting my head. My breasts were outlined against the sunlit radiance of the sky, and in seeing them I was immediately and gratefully aware that I had not dozed long enough to get sunburn. A slight noise caught my attention and I rolled my head to my right and squinted into the fullness of the sun. A figure, totally black against the sunlight, was just emerging from the sea below me to my right. The silhouette of a man with broad shoulders and finely tapered waist, who in the moment of my looking, looked up at me.
He vanished behind the rocks. When he reappeared less than a minute later, he was heading towards me. I raised myself on my elbows and started to reach for my flimsy bikini top, He had moved out of the direct glare of the sun and with the higher rocks behind him I could see him more clearly as he strolled towards me. He was darkly bronzed and as he approached I could see that his face was almost too beautiful to be handsome, a face with strong classic features but the softness of youth. He stopped barely ten feet from me and smiled. Brilliant white teeth lit his face. Definitely too young and not my type. I was still holding my unfastened bikini top across my breasts. He moved forward. "This isn't safe" I thought. We were completely isolated on this end of the beach. Even as my mind reasoned, the fullness in the brief trunks he wore stirred, and I felt an unreasoned excitement seize the depths of my stomach.
