enough from the main road so people wouldn’t casually walk by and completely hidden with trees. She couldn’t even hear the traffic sounds from this distance.
Deciding to be brave and crazy, she stood up and shimmied out of her slacks, folding them neatly to the side. She unbuttoned her blouse and did the same, then stood standing at the end of the dock while she looked down into the inviting water.
Her eyes drifted up briefly to check the surroundings before she took the risk and jumped into the alluring, enticing water. As her hot body was enveloped by the cool, refreshing water, she was thrilled at how daring this was. She couldn’t believe that she was actually skinny dipping!
Well, not completely. She was still wearing her bra and underwear, but she felt decadent and so refreshed. The cool water completely renewed her energy level that had been depleted by the hot sunshine and tedious task of ensuring enough parking for the anticipated festival crowds. She swam out across the tiny lake, her arms and legs taking her through the water quickly. She went back and forth, enjoying the invigorating exercise and the sunshine on the top of her head. When she was finally out of breath, she swam over to the dock and pulled herself up the ladder, then laid down on the hot wooden slats, letting the sun and the wood warm her up.
She was almost asleep when she heard the voice and her sluggish mind went into overdrive.
Derrick was leaning against an old, oak tree while he watched the bathing beauty sun herself on his dock. He couldn’t count the number of times he’d escaped to this little lake, feeling the water pull away all of the tension from his sore muscles. He came here often in the early mornings to cool down after one of his workouts and did exactly the same thing she was currently doing. Although he generally took off everything whereas this little lady thought she was being demure by leaving on those transparent pieces of nothing. Her bra and underwear left little to the imagination and as he walked down the soft grass to the dock, he took in her dark pink nipples and the enticing curve of her hip, her slender waist and that luscious V at the juncture of her thighs that was pulling him towards her like a magnet.
“You’re going to get burned,” Derrick said as he crouched down low. He was only a few inches from her and she still hadn’t heard him approach.
As soon as he spoke though, she jumped up, immediately trying to cover herself as her head swung around to see who had discovered her brief time in the sunshine.
“What are you doing here?” she demanded, one arm covering her breasts while the other hand tried to cover that V that he wanted so desperately to explore with his hands and his mouth.
Derrick smiled slightly, his eyes traveling down her long, slender neck to view those lovely breasts that were too large for her arm to adequately hide from his experienced eyes. “I came down here to do exactly what you’re doing,” he replied and stood up. His fingers moved to the bottom of his shirt and he quickly pulled it off, tossing it to the side so that it landed on top of her own clothes.
She watched her clothes become buried by his larger ones and was fascinated despite her brain telling her to look away. When he was almost naked, she snapped out of her focus on his rapidly appearing dark skin and shook her head. “You can’t do that!” she gasped, but then her eyes feasted on his bare chest, amazed at the rippling muscles and tanned skin. She licked her lips, her mind going blank.
“Why not? It’s my lake. I wanted to swim but feel free to join me.”
She shook her head, more in automatic mode versus an actual understanding of what he was saying. “Can’t,” she said, then gasped when his hands moved to the buttons of his khaki shorts. “Stop!” she cried out.
Derrick stopped and looked at her beautiful face, almost chuckling at the blush that stole across her high cheekbones. Damn, he wanted to kiss that mouth again, to feel that full, lower lip and taste her nectar. But not just her mouth. He wanted to taste all of her. He was fascinated by this woman and wanted to figure out what could be so alluring about this particular
