It was a full moon; a full moon that made every thing glow a pale blue. The moonlight reflecting off the water gave the night an even stronger dreamlike quality. The quarry was her little piece of heaven. A small private lake close to town, but secluded from any intrusion by outsiders. He felt at peace here, too. While they were there, no problems existed. They both had problems. And they both were close to the edge. But as soon as they drove onto the property, all of the tension began to drift away.
They were sitting on a floating dock drifting just off the edge of the rocky shore. It wasn't cold, about 75 degrees, but the water was fed by underground springs and was chilly. They talked and talked and talked. She sat behind him with her arms wrapped around his tummy and her head resting on his bare back, just so he felt her there for him. It was all stuff they had discussed before, but it was a catharsis to let it all out again. As they realized they once again they weren't going to solve any problems that night, they began to just let the quarry take them away.
"If the water wasn't so cold," she smiled, "I would make you go skinny dipping with me."
He stuck his foot in the water, "Awwww that's not cold. Once you're in the water it warms up and it's warmer IN the water than out." She wasn't quite convinced. "I'll prove it to you he said." He slid his shorts off and dived into the water naked.
A second later he came up yelling, "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooohhhhhh, that's cold!!!"
She started laughing at him, "You don't think I'm coming in after THAT do you??"
He started teasing her, but he saw that wouldn't work, so he tried something he knew would work, "I will keep you warm." How could she turn that down?
She pulled her T-shirt over her head and as she reached around to unhook her bra, he whistled in appreciation of what was about to be set free. She slid off her shorts and panties as he swam closer to the dock. Just as he reached it, she jumped in over his head.
