The humid air in Bali was heavy and smelled of frangipani and salt.
Darina led us through a tangle of jungle and rocks, her lithe figure moving with an almost feline grace.
"This place... is my sanctuary," she murmured.
We plunged into a hidden cove where silky sand met turquoise sea.
The sun was beginning its fiery descent, colouring the sky in shades of orange and pink.
Darina removed the last of her sheer scarves, revealing skin that had been kissed by the sun and moulded by pure sensuality.
The fading light embraced her seductive body and became one with the raw, untamed beauty of Darina's secret beach.
It was a secret she shared, a fleeting glimpse into the soul of a woman stripped bare, both literally and figuratively, under the watchful gaze of a fading sun.
