Four hundred acres may or may not be a lot where you're from, but I grew up in a city, so it felt like an incredible amount of space. The place belonged to the parents of a friend of mine, named Jessie, and a group of our friends had driven out to celebrate a long weekend and enjoy the latter part of the summer. Jessie was a close friend, and also a total babe. She could ski, surf, climb, and hike as well as anyone in our crew. For good measure, she was short and blonde, with incredible eyes and an exquisitely fit physique. Our relationship had always been a bit... interesting.
We had met at a Glitch Mob show, where we had been drinking along with a few friends. We had flirted pretty aggressively almost immediately, and had a great night. As the night wound down, however, it slowly dawned on me that despite what had passed between us, she already had some relationship with a very good friend of mine, named Charlie. They ended up spending the night together, and I shrugged the whole thing off as a fluke.
As it turned out however, none of those events was entirely a fluke. Jessie and Charlie developed a long-term relationship, I remained good friends with both of them, and Jessie and I continued to engage in behavior that was not entirely appropriate under the circumstances. We would often flirt with each other, more subtly when Charlie was around and more blatantly when he was not. On camping trips that Charlie didn't come on, she would always insist on sleeping in my tent, and we would always end up cuddling just a little more intimately than was proper. It never went past that though, and for a few years, that was a status quo that worked for everyone. As it turned out though, there was quite a bit more simmering beneath the surface.
The drive had been long, but as we bounced up the last bit of gravel road, I was amazed at where we had arrived. The house sat on a low hill overlooking the spread, which included forest and fields, and a pond with a clearing near it. We would be camping in the clearing. We drove our trucks down there and mixed drinks while we set up camp. The whole scene was rather idyllic, and we were soon having a great time adventuring through the trees, four-wheeling along the various dirt tracks that wound through the property, and swimming in the pond.
The day passed very enjoyably, and as night fell we retreated to the beach in front of the pond to build a roaring campfire. My truck was packed with firewood, so I drove it down to the lakeshore so we wouldn't have to carry it all down. With tailgate down and a down comforter tossed in the bed, it doubled nicely as a couch. The drinking continued unabated as we cooked dinner and blazed a few joints. The night was warm, but we had tons of wood to burn off, so we kept the fire pretty well stoked.
As the night wound down and people one by one tottered off to sleep, we found ourselves down to just the three of us, Jessie, Charlie, and I. The clear skies and remote location left us with an incredible view of the stars, and our conversation gradually trailed off, as the three of us reclined on our respective sides of the dying fire and took in their majesty.
Time passes slowly at times like that, but after what must have been fifteen or twenty minutes, I realized that the fire had burned down completely, and I was getting a bit cold. However, I still didn't feel a strong urge to retire, so I stood up and got some more wood off the pile and stoked the fire back to life.
My rustling around brought Jessie out of her reverie. "Thanks, babe," she smiled at me with half-lidded eyes.
"Well, somebody has to keep us warm tonight," I joked.
She smirked. "I don't think this guy is up to the task," she said, looking at Charlie, who seemed thoroughly passed out at this point, and then back at me.
Not quite catching her meaning, I replied, "Yeah, you should probably drag him off to bed. He looks like he's gonna need some help there." I grinned and shook my head at his stupor.
A shadow of disappointment flitted across her face, but she shrugged and shook Charlie awake. He struggled to come around, but eventually realized what was going on, and they slowly, awkwardly crunched their way up the walk toward the main house, where they were staying. I was left with a good buzz, the last beer in the cooler, and a decent fire, and went back to contemplating the stars and wondering how bad the hangovers would be in the morning (As it turned out, they were pretty awful.)
Soon enough, however, I was surprised to once more hear the crunch of someone walking down the path from the house. I sat up to see who, or what, was coming for me, and was mildly surprised to see Jessie emerging from the darkness into the glow of the campfire, having changed into sweats and a tee shirt. She slowed to a stop across the fire from me, and looked at me somewhat contemplatively for a moment.
I chuckled, assuming that we were going to play out our usual routine. "Hey darling! I hope you aren't looking for another beer, because we're fresh out at this point." I joked.
She smirked at me from across the fire. "What are you talking about? You've got a tall boy in your hand there!"
I laughed. "That's true. I suppose if you ask very nicely, I could share a bit with you."
She smiled at me, and started to walk around the fire toward me, which I watched with idle interest. She stopped in front of me and looked down at me with a slightly amused expression. I took a swig of beer, just to make the point. She cocked an eyebrow at me, and then, unexpectedly, sat down in my lap, facing me. There was a mischievous, sultry sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes, and a pout to her lips that I couldn't recall ever being blessed with, no matter how shameless our behavior had gotten. I began to wonder if this was heading somewhere we hadn't been. Somewhere I thought we had tacitly agreed not to go.
My brain might have been a bit taken aback, but my instincts were happy to take over. My arm slid around her tight little waist. I looked up at her with a confident smile. "Well this is very charming, but this beer is quite delicious, and I'm inclined to be selfish with it." I thought this was very clever. I must have been more drunk than I thought. I was not ready for her response.
"You know what I can guarantee tastes way better than that beer?" I raised my eyebrows expectantly. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders and leaned into me, until her hair hung around my head and I could feel her slightly shallow, ragged breath on my lips. She whispered, just loud enough that I could hear, "Me."
The scent of her hair, the light in her eyes, and most of all the confident sensuality of her tone were overwhelming. Whatever consequences there would be for this could be addressed tomorrow. Or never. Tonight was for consummating the slow dance we had been engaged in for years. I smiled and firmly pulled her hips toward me, until I was certain she could feel the outline of my cock pressed against her. "Be careful what you wish for..." I whispered, as I closed the gap between us and pressed my lips against hers.
She moaned enthusiastically and responded with fervor, opening her lips and allowing my tongue to push into her mouth. I gently tongued her lips and then our tongues met, surprisingly slowly and intimately at first. My hands roamed up and down her back under her shirt, feeling the warmth and smoothness of her skin, and along the outside of her thighs, feeling the firm, sexy muscles concealed under her sweats. I gently raked my fingernails down her back, making her squirm and moan into my mouth. The squirm must have reminded her that her clit, though covered, was nestled firmly against my rapidly rising cock, and she began grinding her hips against me in a slow rhythm. I smiled to myself and brought a hand up to the back of her head. I firmly but gently grabbed hold of her hair and tilted her head back, disengaging my mouth from hers in order to lavish some attention on her sweet neck.
With her mouth freed and her eyes tilted up to the starry night sky, she was finally able to communicate with something other than squeals and moans. "Oh my god, that feels so good," she whimpered as I kissed, nipped, sucked, and licked my way around her jaw, neck, and collarbone. Her skin felt amazing against my lips, and I enjoyed drawing out the anticipation. "You are going to get me in trouble. Oh my god!"
I lowered her head until our eyes met again. "Let's worry about that later," I told her, "For now, let's focus on exploring what we've both been so curious about for so long," with a slight smile.
