Although Tarkan had studied classical Ottoman music, he had never made music his career. His eventual degree was in environmental science and management, and his agency, Bir Dünya, which oversaw development in ecologically sensitive areas in Turkey, kept him busy.
Every day after work though, Tarkan went for a long run on the nearby beach as he loved to keep in shape, and running on sand provided optimum strengthening of his leg muscles.
The large beach close to home had a beautiful view at the sea, allowing people to see the islands and the sailing boats from Kalamış Marina. With its seemingly never-ending seashore decorated with beach umbrellas and beach-goers partaking in water-sports of all kinds, this beach was Tarkan and his girlfriend Ayse's favorite, always making them feel miles away from the city.
Today however, with Ayse being out of town visiting her relatives in Bursa, Tarkan decided to go to another beach, and drove all the way to Poyrazköy, a typical fishing village located on the Asian side of Istanbul, and also one of the closest settlements to the Black Sea.
He went up on a narrow, windy road heading towards the Anatolian Lighthouse, then headed down towards the Bosphorus shore, turned left without turning into the village and reached the Poyrazköy beach. This beach was quiet, and for those who believed a day at the beach should be relaxing.
Tarkan parked his SUV and then immediately started running. He had hardly started though, when suddenly he stopped right in his tracks. He had just seen a young man standing in the shallow waves with his back facing him, and his beautiful firm round butt bulging above a pair of plaid swimming boxers.
Tarkan let out a low whistle as his eyes popped wide: never had he seen a butt as wonderful as this before. "Oooff! What an ass!" he murmured in awe.
He ran up to the man to inspect the small wonder up closer. Just then he turned around to face Tarkan. Tarkan's jaw dropped at once: never had he seen a face as gorgeous and beautiful as this before.
His eyes were a beautiful bright blue. His face was exceptionally handsome, just like his lean tanned body, and he had shoulder length dark hair.
"Vaay," Tarkan breathed again, the butt he had just seen momentarily forgotten. "Your eyes... You have... really beautiful eyes...."
"Thank you," the man smiled.
"Tarkan extended his hand to him. "I'm Tarkan!"
"I'm Tomy..." Tomy shook Tarkan's hand.
"Tomy... You are... really... gorgeous...."
Tomy smiled as he studied the equally handsome man with emerald green eyes in front of him. He could not deny it -- Tarkan was exceptionally handsome too. Like him, Tarkan had long hair, although a little bit shorter. "Thank you, Tarkan. You are not bad yourself..."
Tarkan preened. "Really?"
Tomy nodded.
"But... how did you get THAT... ass?" Tarkan breathed again in awe, pointing again at Tomy's butt. "Any special exercises you're doing?"
Tomy shrugged his shoulders and laughed. "Good genes, I guess."
"Really?" Tarkan giggled. "May I... May I feel it?"
"If you really want to," Tomy laughed again.
Tarkan instantly grabbed a handful of Tomy's firm round butt, giving it a little squeeze. "Vaaay," he breathed again in awe.
Tomy laughed again and motioned for Tarkan to turn around, inspecting his butt now in return. He gave it a little pinch and rub. "Nothing wrong with your ass either, Tarkan..."
Tarkan giggled. "So apart from being hot and sexy, what do you do for a living, Tomy?"
"I'm a singer! Why don't you come and listen to me tonight?"
The food and drink options at The Dalia Beach Café provided enough options to satisfy any palate. It had also been thought out with care and attention and was prepared with regional products - the feta cheese coming from Ezine, and the honey coming from Fethiye. The fish menu was the perfect way to end Tarkan's day.
A trio was playing slow music and Tarkan now sprawled on his chair and took in the surroundings. His eyes lingered and caught the attention of several beautiful women. He was sure that this was the place Tomy had told him about, however, Tomy was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly the spotlight lit the stage to reveal an announcer. A band struck up a slow, soulful tune, full of deep, plodding bass and haunting guitar. It was pleasing to Tarkan's ears, and after a few seconds came the most incredible and beautiful voice he had ever had the privilege to hear.
