It was the summer before his Senior year in college. Thad Underwood had decided to forego summer classes and come home to work at the local country club on the golf course maintenance crew. Thad had two big loves – golf and women. Working from 5:00 AM to Noon everyday allowed him plenty of time to enjoy both.
Thad was a nice looking, well built young man at 22. He was 6'2, weighed 185 pounds and kept himself in good physical condition. Sun-bleached hair hanging in his eyes a la a young Brad Pitt gave him the look of a California surfer stranded in Central Tennessee.
With his looks, he had attracted plenty of women willing to toss around in the sack for a few hours. Most of them were college girls, but he had even had the pleasure of entertaining a couple of more experienced women – one, a college professor, the other, his Mom's best friend. But, more on that another time....
Besides playing golf in the afternoons after work, Thad enjoyed hanging out at the club pool where the current object of his sexual desires was working as a lifeguard. Lucinda Wells, or Lucy as she was known, had attended the same high school as Thad, but was a year behind him. He had never paid much attention to the skinny version of Lucy Wells, but now, as a 21 year old, she had matured into quite a beauty.
At 5'10, 110 pounds, she was tall, athletic and shaped like a Hollywood model. Blond hair, blue eyes and a devastating smile made her the envy of many young men around the pool, not to mention many horny married guys coming off the golf course where they had a great view of her endless legs sitting atop the lifeguard chair.
Thad had made the usual small-talk on his visits to the pool, but most of their conversations had revolved around high school memories and college comparisons. He had determined that she didn't have a steady boyfriend, but this was as far as they had progressed down the personal information path so far. Until that particular Tuesday when everything changed....for the better.
Thad had finished his golf course duties, showered and changed into his swim trunks. As he entered the pool area, his eyes were drawn, as usual, to the lifeguard chair where Lucy sat watching over the pool brats dressed in her usual one-piece red swimsuit. The club required her to wear one piece suits, as bikinis would not be considered "professional" wear, even for a lifeguard.
"Hey Luce," he called as he walked over to her position.
"Hi Thad, good day at the office?"
"Can't complain," he replied. "Of course, no one would listen if I did."
This was the standard banter they had exchanged over the couple of weeks since both had returned to Tennessee from college. Thad strolled over and leaned against the tower, looking out at the pool full of youngsters playing Marco Polo and trying to out-do each other on the diving board.
"Doesn't this job get boring?" Thad questioned, knowing he didn't have the patience to baby-sit a crew like this.
"Yeah, but it has its advantages," she replied with the hint of a smile on her face.
"Like what?" Thad quizzed.
"Well, getting to see guys like yourself without their shirts on for hours at a time," she answered.
Thad blushed, never having expected to hear something like this come from the lips of Lucy Wells. She blushed in return and looked away, pretending to monitor a grade-school diver about to perform a back flip off of the high dive.
Nothing else was said for several minutes until Lucy broke the silence, "Adult swim!"
All of the kids groaned and complained, but began making their way out of the pool. Several adults got up from their lounge chairs and slipped into the pool for a few minutes of peace without splashing.
"What exactly do you do when you disappear during these adult swims," Thad asked, expecting some generic answer like using the restroom.
Lucy gave the expected answer, "Potty break," but then leaned into his ear and stunned him. "But sometimes, I also take the opportunity to touch myself. Especially when I've been thinking about you...."
And with that, she turned and walked away toward the pool house without another look back.
Having just been presented with the shock of his life, Thad wasn't sure what to do next. He stood in silence watching her stroll away, fighting the familiar feeling surging through his now awakened manhood. How the hell was he supposed to respond to that?
After ten long minutes during which his mind had raced through multiple fantasies involving Lucy, she reappeared and walked slowly back toward her post. Thad had been unable to tear himself away from the spot he had been standing when she left him speechless and wondering.
As she approached, she grinned and said, "You okay, Thad? It looks like you've seen a ghost."
She walked up, took her right index finger and ran it under his nose.
"Bet a ghost never smelled like this...."
The faint, musky odor of female arousal numbed him. She had actually touched her pussy during the break, just as she had teased. His head spinning, Thad was powerless to say anything, however, his response was evident in the tenting of his swimsuit that he was unable to hide. He quickly dove into the pool to cool off while Lucy climbed back into the lifeguard chair.
After clearing his head for a few moments and finally gaining control over his sizeable erection, Thad swam back over to the side of the pool beneath Lucy's perch.
"You are really quite the tease, aren't you?"
