Up until the moment she approached, I'd have sworn the answer to can a bikini stop time would be an emphatic no.
But in that moment, I change my mind.
I’m chilling from the brutal heat of the midday sun in the shade of a walnut tree, lying back on a towel after having cooled off in the nearby lake. My swim shorts are plastered to me, and catching a glimpse of her effortless European chic on the path to my right has an immediate and decided effect on the shape out front.
She wasn't the first beauty that had passed. Far from it. The beach complex was teeming with stunning women and toned men, like it was some kind of shrine for the gorgeous. Three beach volleyball courts adjacent to where I lay provided entertainment and a tonne of buxom eye candy. Plus, a steady stream of people walking to and from the lake in swimwear of every conceivable style, covering bodies from the pert to the wobbly, ensured that people-watching was the single most pleasurable afternoon I'd spent in the town since I arrived.
All the sexiness on display, including some who preferred strapless sunbathing and flash glimpses of boobs when tying strings to go for a dip, had me all hot and bothered already.
But nothing could have prepared me for the teenager.
She’s with a small group of equally hot friends, all in equally tiny swimwear, but she stands out. The way she carries herself screams confidence and strength and poise. She’s not the alpha of the pack but is easily the one who would cast the deciding vote on what they did, where they ate and who they sat with. People would listen when she speaks.
The sun glitters off her lightly bronzed body; a thin film of sunscreen and perspiration glistening from the ferocious seventy percent humidity of the French Alps amid the heatwave that continues to batter southern Europe.
Whether it's the heat, the haze, or a trick of the sunlight, midway through her very next step, the scene ahead of me slows. I don't know how; it just does, like the start of a summer movie montage. Music from a soundbar between a pair of locals fades to the background, and her tousled blonde, shimmering mane pools upon shoulders I long to stroke and massage and then dust with endless kisses.
Her strides are perfect catwalk-precision, a faint crossing of each bare foot against the path that leads to the ice cream kiosk and water’s edge. Each step makes her modest chest bounce in the halter-tied bikini cups; milk chocolate triangles of material that barely conceal their contents.
The creamy flesh that plunges beneath the fabric ripples as her feet make contact with the boiling concrete path and I imagine how the soft, pliant, youthful orbs would feel nestled in my palms after I playfully pull the strings to unknot the garment and let it fall away.
One of my favourite things to do is slide my hands up a woman's body and cup her tits. Take their weight, and gently squeeze, watching her reaction. Experience in my misspent youth taught me the bolder the woman, the better she responds to this power shift. And it's then beautifully easy to either sweep a pair of thumbs over her nipples or pinch them. Or both.
Hers are faintly visible through the material, like the sun’s aphrodisiac powers have already elevated her natural excitement, and I wonder if she'd be the type to let me nuzzle and bite them without removing the garment. Some love it. I know I do. So does my wife. There's something downright dirty about sucking nipples through fabric and leaving a darker circle of saliva around the protruding peak as her arousal makes itself known via a bitten lip and sharp intake of breath.
Grazing the edges of a nipple, first with lips then teeth, indicates her susceptibility to rougher play. Rolling the cap between my tightening jaw provides vital information about how far I can push her. With this girl, despite her age, I’m willing to bet she'd go all the way. There’s something about her poise that makes me think she would hiss and beg if I captured a nipple between my teeth—with or without the layer of fabric—and tugged.
She's also a moaner. I'm confident of that. When I grip each hardening pebble between my teeth, bite and pull it away from her body, she’ll growl and struggle and hiss and curse. And then beg for it again when I let go. I've spent a lot of time watching people over the years and she's definitely the type.
Closer now, maybe five languorous paces from me, the teen shakes that incredible, wet mane over one shoulder to accent the swell of her tits. That's a move usually reserved for older women to draw attention to themselves when they believe their natural allure is fading, but she doesn't need the attention. She has it. And I'm not the only one checking her out, so she clearly did it on purpose. To entice. To attract. To tease.
Droplets of water left behind on her breasts roll under gravity to pepper the top edge of her bikini cups. I want to lap each one and make her pant. Chase my caresses up over her collarbone to her neck. Kiss and bite there, too, as she rolls her head aside to afford me greater access to the tender flesh that she wants marked.
And fuck, I would mark her.
By the time my lips leave her front, her neck and tits would be pockmarked with echoes of my teeth. Her nipples would be stiff under my tongue as I swirl and lap to soothe the stings. Suck them hard as if revisiting conquests of my youthful twenties.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not ancient. Perhaps twice her age, maybe a shade older, depending on which side of eighteen she is. My family are enjoying a dip in the lake and all I can think about, my entire slow-motion world in that instant, is consumed by the need to ravage this smoking hot sex bomb. That probably makes me a bad person. Or does it only make me a bad person if I act on it? Are thoughts infidelity?
What about touching? What if I follow her to the snack stand? Queue behind her. Brush the back of my hand against her bare hip just below the ridiculously thin waistband that arches like a viaduct bridge; that spark of electricity jolting from the contact point to my throbbing cock a few inches behind her.
What if she likes it? What if she makes eye contact and I detect mountains of unrepressed lust burning behind those eyes that match the cloudless azure sky? What if she lures me into the lake after lunch, like some sort of siren nymph? Leads me a little further beyond the string of buoys, turns and lets me kiss her? Lets me cup her tits and squeeze as she gasps into my mouth. What if she guides my hand down her body in the cool water until it settles between her legs and I slip a digit past the barrier of her bikini bottoms and enter her?
The wetness in her tight young pussy would be a very different viscosity to the lake. Her eyes would roll back as she gasps at my fingers in her, right there, sawing back and forth in the cleft of her hairless slit as she moans and sighs and encourages me to finish her until warm juices join the crystal blue wash that bobs around us.
Fuck, I'm a bad man. There's no escaping it. Would I be able to resist? I guess as long as I'm strong I'll be fine.
But then, as if to light the touch paper of my destruction, she draws level with my stare. Her perfect tits bounce with the step that takes her one pace beyond my direct line of sight and her bubble butt is revealed.
That's it for me. That rear embodies every single thing right and wrong with teenage sexuality. Who would let their daughter out of the house wearing such brazen and tantalising swimwear that covers so little and promises so much?
Daddy can I have fifty Euros for a new swimsuit please?
Of course, sweetie.
Mmm. What do you think of this one?
Perfect. That’ll get the blood of every man with a pulse pumping to all the wrong veins.
Did fathers not have decency these days? Morals?
The arch of the waistband over her hip doesn't give way to a full triangle of taut fabric that shields her bottom as I expect. It crosses to the other hip in a swooping whale tail shape and disappears between cheeks that defy gravity. That redefine beauty. Undulating orbs of a peach, so sweet and so juicy, that each kiss against it, each bite I take would be ripe and flavoursome.
