I suppose I should take credit for what happened. Or blame, if you're that way inclined. It was like this.
I'm a weekend cyclist. I like to get out on weekends and ride, preferably in the country or up in the mountains. I think it's great zipping along a mountain road, able to see for miles, both out and down. Sometimes you're in groups, other times you're on your own, just you and that tall mountain.
The day it happened I was on my own, heading up this mountain and wondering which trail to take back down. There's a crossroad near the top of the mountain, with a picnic area set up on one corner. Little used as there were far better facilities slightly lower down.
I pulled up at the crossroad to take a break and a sip of water, looking around and admiring the view. While I was doing this, three more cyclists came zipping up, each coming up a different road and, seeing me standing there taking a break, they seemed by mutual accord to decide to do the same.
We casually nodded at each other and exchanged names. Just a Ron, Molly, Becky and Geoff, and then we just stood around, communing with nature.
Speaking of nature, those two women were wonderful examples of it. Young, fit, shapely and reasonably pretty. Not supermodels, or even any sort of model, but nice examples of that pretty girl next door. Both girls were wearing Lycra tops and shorts, and you know how those things can show off a figure. When tight enough, those shorts will even let you know if a woman shaves, and I'll swear that Molly did.
So here I was, just standing there, admiring ALL the scenery, when Molly sees me giving her the once over and laughs. Now Molly's Lycra outfit had these amazing swirls of colour on them that the eye just naturally followed, ending up looking at interesting places. I commented that I hadn't seen that sort of pattern before and Molly told me it was unique.
"I have a friend who paints clothes," she told me. "This is one of her paint jobs. Good, isn't it?"
I had to admit that it was a striking effect. "Just paint?" I asked.
"Just paint," I was assured. Molly tapped her shoulder and said if you touch it you can feel the difference between the material and the paint.
What could I do? I ran my hand over her sleeve, feeling where the paint started, and then my hand just naturally followed the swirls to the end. Like I said, your eyes are drawn to interesting places and so was my hand.
Molly gave me an old fashioned look and gently pushed my hand to one side, but by then I was curious. I touched the swirl starting on the other shoulder and followed that to its end.
Again Molly brushed my hand away, but it didn't matter. I had already transferred my attention to her shorts, and I wasn't even looking at her to see her reaction while I traced the patterns down there. At least until I finished, and I realised just where my finger had finished.
Startled, I looked up at Molly, but she was just watching me, face complete unreadable. Not blank, just unreadable.
I don't know where the impulse came from, or the nerve to follow through on it, but my hands went into reverse, retracing those swirls back from their central finishing point and up to the top of her shorts. Unfortunately, I couldn't seem to make my hands stop at that point and they continued up to her top, but instead of tracing the pattern on her top I was sliding it up and over Molly's breasts, which came spilling down into my grateful clutches.
A nice thing about Lycra, it's so supportive that women often feel no need to wear bras. Molly, happily, being one of those women.
I paid some polite attention to those two wonderful globes, feeling them swell appreciatively to my touch.
I heard a muffled sound and, realising I'd forgotten about Becky and Geoff, I glanced over at them. Becky was staring interestedly at what I was doing, while Geoff was casting thoughtful glances between us and Becky. I saw him reach out and cup Becky's breast, and instead of pushing him away her hand came up and just closed on his.
