It was the second morning of their Greek holiday, and as usual Melissa was ready before her husband. Charles turned to her as he shaved.
"Why don't you go on down, darling, and catch some early sun? I'll only be five or ten minutes."
Melissa smiled, her full, petal-like lips parting with a soft click. "All right darling... see you soon."
Charles watched as his twenty-two year old wife walked from their apartment, her smooth, tanned legs long and shapely below her tight white shorts, a tiny, clinging halter-top exposing the curve of her hour-glass waist, her silken, shoulder-length blonde hair perfectly brushed. Then he went back to his shaving, his penis stirring in his trunks even though they had already made love earlier that morning.

Charles ambled down to the hotel lobby a few minutes later, going outside to the pool when there was no sign of Melissa in the foyer. Not seeing her sunbathing on any of the loungers, he returned to the reception desk, assuming Melissa was in the toilet.
Picking up a brochure from the desk he began to flick through it, vaguely aware of a man's voice coming from the private office behind the reception counter. Then, a few seconds later, he heard a delicate feminine laugh.
Charles frowned. Was that his wife? More deep, rumbling male voice, then a female reply which he was certain was Melissa. Why was she in there? Charles hesitated momentarily, then lifted the partition in the counter and crossed to the door of the manager's office, knocking sharply.
"Come in," came the deep command. When Charles entered he saw Melissa seated, her long, bare legs crossed sexily, laughing and chatting with the Greek hotel manager. Kouzaris was leaning against his desk and facing Melissa - a huge man, some six feet five, hairy and barrel-chested, he towered over the beautiful English girl as she looked up at him, giggling.
"Oh, hello Charles," smiled Melissa as she turned to face him. "Christos kindly offered to show us an activity brochure."
Kouzaris plucked a magazine from his desk. "Yes... we have sailing, fishing, golf... boat hire, many historic buildings-"
"What sort of buildings?" asked Melissa, her pretty head tilting upward as she attempted to see the pages.
"Well..." Kouzaris leaned over Melissa's shoulder and, ostensibly for balance, place a big, brown hand on her bare arm as he held the magazine in front of her.
As the huge Greek began to describe the various ancient sites in the locality, Charles noticed that he had still not removed his chunky fingers from Melissa's slim upper arm. His deep voice rumbled on, friendly enough, but there was a look of lazy challenge in his eyes each time he glanced at Charles, a look of bored contempt which, Charles was almost certain, transmuted into a gleam of lust when his gaze returned to the Englishman's young, blonde wife. Trying to concentrate on the brochure, Charles thought he glimpsed from the corner of his vision the man's thick thumb lightly stroke Melissa's bronzed skin as she imperceptibly leaned in towards the Greek.
"What about this building?" Charles asked, threading his pointing finger between Melissa and the big Greek, hoping to force Kouzaris' hand to relinquish his wife's arm. However, the hotel manager simply ran his heavy fingers unhurriedly over Melissa's tanned skin and settled his palm on her smooth, bare shoulder, where Charles could not influence it.
"Ah yes, a small temple from the age of..." Kouzaris continued his description, and as Charles' hand dropped from between his wife and the Greek, Kouzaris' fingers once more slid down the the muscle of Melissa's bronzed upper arm, now stroking it openly, his broad fingertips gliding back and forth over the sensitive skin of her inner arm. The back of his hairy hand was passing just millimetres from Melissa's superbly firm breast. Charles saw Melissa look up at the Greek, holding his eyes lingeringly with her own, her sensuous lips parting as she smiled at a small joke.
Charles frowned. Was it his imagination, or was she luxuriating under Kouzaris' attentions? A familiar image flitted unbidden through Charles' mind, of Melissa's heavy, contented breaths like the purring of a petted cat as he ran his fingers over her fabulous body during their lovemaking sessions, her pretty eyes defocussed and narrowed to slits under his ministrations. As Charles watched Melissa he noticed her lightly painted eyelids beginning to hood as Kouzaris's fingertips slid languidly up and down her exposed inner arm with smooth, slow rhythm. Melissa and the huge Greek were still gazing lazily at each other, and Charles was sure that Kouzaris' hairy knuckles had just grazed Melissa's supple breast.
"Let's visit that one then," said Charles, taking Melissa's slim hand and drawing her to her feet. "Come on, Melissa, let's go."
To Charles' suspicious mind there was a plainly perceptible delay before his wife broke eye contact with the Greek, still smiling at him. Charles knew his wife enjoyed flirting with other men, but this had gone far enough. Kouzaris' hand remained on Melissa's tanned arm until she stepped away from him, thanking him for his time. Even in her tallest stilletoes she would have been a head shorter than the huge Greek - in her sandals the thick, silken blonde hair at her scalp was level with the top of his immense shoulder.
