I have been visiting America for the first time. As an English girl, I find the sheer size of the place overwhelming. My friend Sarah and I have been travelling around for the past couple of weeks, but have been in Texas now for three days. The reason for this slight delay in our travels is because Sarah has met a guy. Yep, this means that yet again I am alone and having to entertain myself.
I decided this morning to pack myself some lunch and take myself off for a walk for the day. There is a large lake nearby, and I envisaged having a gentle walk, stopping somewhere with a nice view for lunch, then strolling back to the hotel. My day did not go according to plan. It is evening now, and Sarah is yet to return to the hotel. I am sitting in the fading light feeling a little dizzy and overwhelmed as I recall my walk today...
I had set off in blazing sunshine in shorts and a t-shirt with plenty of sunscreen as I am fair-skinned. Whilst I do gradually tan, I have to be careful not to burn. I walked at an easy pace for a good two hours before noticing that the sky was beginning to darken. I paused, wondering whether to turn back or try and find shelter. It turned out that I didn't have a choice as literally within minutes the heavens opened and I found myself drenched! What a fool I felt. I really should have checked the weather forecast before setting out!
I headed in a hurry towards a large tree to sit against to get at least some shelter. Because I was so focussed on getting to the tree, I wasn't paying proper attention to where I was putting my feet, tripped and fell, wrenching my left ankle. I cried out in pain, but dragged myself to sit against the tree, now wet, muddy and tearful. I pulled my shoe off to inspect my ankle and found that it felt bruised and sore, but nothing appeared to be broken.
Half an hour later when a man also dashed towards the tree seeking shelter, I was a sorry sight. Cold, wet, shivering and forlorn. I didn't look at him, feeling embarrassed and rather unattractive and small. When he did speak to me therefore, I was forced to look up from my misery and acknowledge him.
"Darling, you look cold," he drawled in a thick American accent. "Let me put my jacket around you."
"But I will make your jacket damp and then you will be cold," I replied.
"An English girl?" he questioned and I nodded in response.
"Speak again," he asked. "I want to hear that lovely accent."
I looked up properly for the first time, and found that he was smiling at me. Despite my predicament, I couldn't help but smile back. He had short brown hair and naughty green twinkling eyes. Did I detect mischief in them?
"I fell and hurt my ankle," I explained. A large bruise was beginning to become visible.
"You are shivering and hurt," he said with concern etched across his face.
He placed a large but gentle hand on my sore ankle. "You need protecting. Would you like me to protect you?" he asked.
I looked at him once more and had a sudden urge to kiss him. I stopped myself, but he must have sensed something because he leaned closer, and pushed a strand of damp hair away from my face. This gesture was so tender that I once more had to fight not to just fall into his arms. He was a stranger after all!
"You need to get these wet clothes off," he explained, "or you will become ill."
Amazingly and uncharacteristically, whilst looking into those green eyes, I raised both arms in readiness for my t-shirt to be peeled off. I let him remove my t-shirt, and sat patiently whilst he unhooked my bra. I shivered again as he looked at my small cold breasts. I have small nipples, and they had shrunk with the cold. I let out a gasp as he put his warm mouth over first one then the other, whilst undoing my shorts at the same time...
I realised that I wanted this man, this stranger. I felt hungry for him, and knew that I would already be very, very wet. I raised my hips to allow him to remove my shorts and knickers in one swift movement, and then lay there naked enjoying him looking at me. There is something extremely erotic about being vulnerable and naked with a strong fully clothed man.
I shivered again, this time with excitement as well as cold. He opened his jacket, and pulled me towards his body, wrapping the jacket around both of us, and held me tightly giving me his body warmth. I am only little, and felt very small lying naked in this lovely man's arms.
Gradually I felt myself begin to warm against the man's body, and I found that I had stopped shivering. My face was pressed against his firm t-shirt covered chest. I spoke without moving my head to look at him.
"Did you like what you saw?" I whispered.
He did not reply, but pushed the lower half of his body against mine. He did not need to reply. The firmness that was apparent said it all.
"Are you warm enough now?" he enquired.
"I am, thank you," I returned.
