"Give me back my wrap, Niko," she said as if chiding him.
"Okay, come and get it," he shouted to her as he began to walk away.
"No, I don't trust you," she said, following him. "God knows what you are going to do next!"
"Why don't you come and find out," he teased her, holding the colorful wrap high above her as it trailed in the wind like a banner.
She turned her back to him, waiting for him to put the stolen wrap back on. As Nikolas pretended to put the wrap on her waist, he undid the straps of her swimsuit. Anna wasn't quick enough to catch the bathing suit before it slipped down. She tried to hide her perfectly shaped breasts with her hands. Like a frisky boy, Nikolas ran off to the other side of the boat. Anna ran after him happily shrieking and laughing. She caught up with him and grabbed the towel he had wrapped around his waist. Pulling it off, she left him naked, and for a moment stood gazing at his body.
Nikolas did a quick twist and dove into the sparkling water. Anna leapt in after him.
They met below the surface and kissed.
Bubbles filled the water around them like sparkling champagne in a crystal glass. They surfaced, took a breath of the fresh Mediterranean air, and shook the water from their hair. They swam together for a long time with the dolphins merrily leaping nearby. After awhile the dolphins turned south, and Anna and Nikolas headed for the shore. Nikolas reached the beach first and lay down on the warm sand that felt so good against his cool wet skin.
The energizing rays of the sun invigorated his body as he waited for Anna to come ashore. To her surprise, the friendly dolphins had returned and were playfully swimming around her, chirping happy sounds as though they were telling her something. Delighted, she petted their backs and heads, and the dolphins put on a show, jumping high into the air. Then they nonchalantly swam away. Anna lazily got to the beach and emerged from the water like a sea goddess.
As she approached Nikolas, her walk became more and more enticing. He trembled with excitement as he watched her. He remained on the sand, with half his body in the water, because he was a bit embarrassed to stand up. Her beautiful figure blocked the sun as she stood above him, shaking droplets of cool water on his body. No words needed to be spoken.
Nikolas looked into her eyes, idolizing her as he rose to his knees. He took her smooth glistening thighs and held them tightly as he buried his face between them. Anna made no effort to stop Nikolas as he slipped off her shoulder straps and pulled on both sides of her bathing suit. The wet suit dropped into the gentle waves.
