Sunbathing, like it or not

Before you could say another word, the arms deposited you on a wide sun lounger in front of a luxurious pool. You took a breath, worried at what the arms may do next, but all seemed quiet, and after a few moments you relaxed back into the padding of the lounger.

It was one of those days where the sun was beating down. Given the strain of the last few minutes, you could do with a rest. You had a moment of panic wondering if a neighbour or someone could see you like this, but the fences seemed high and windows of nearby houses seemed distant and empty.

But any knot of worry was gradually dissolved as the sun beat down hot and heavy. Man, no wonder you'd wanted a swim, but right know even your body felt heavy, the warmth of the sun seemed to flood you, and you could just...

Gradually, you feel asleep, the tension of the last few days getting the better of you. As the sun moved through the sky, EDNA's arms moved towards you and reapplied sun lotion. At one stage, they rolled you over onto your front which briefly stirred you from your reverie until going back to sleep.

The day wore on, the sun went lower and cooler, your worries fade, and you roll over onto your back again, accidentally rolling right off the lounger and onto the stone below.

"Wha?" The shock and the awakening take a moment for you to process. For a moment you're not sure who or where you are, the unfamiliar surroundings, and the padded bikini and the braid that's now hanging in front of your shoulder all throw you off, but gradually you remember what's going on and groggily get your senses back together.
