It was a warm spring day on the Peninsula. I wasn't used to the weather yet; the humidity was getting to me as I had just moved my kids and myself back to the Bay Area. While it wasn't into three digits, the heat along with the humidity was killing me. My sons were feeling it too. I was trying to find something that would make them happy and at the same time cool them off some. Hell, who am I kidding, I wanted to cool down also.
I called my sister to see if she wanted to maybe go to one of the state parks. I thought that being in a redwood forest would be nice and at least a little cooler. As she had two sons also I believed it would be a good way for the cousins to have fun and for the adults to relax a bit. Kelly agreed with me and said she would meet us up there at one o'clock. Great. Outside, kids burning off energy, and an afternoon with breezes.
I packed up a cooler for me and the boys and headed out to the park. While it is only about 15 miles away, it took some time to get there going over peaks on a two-lane road with everybody else who had the same idea. We soon arrived and set down our stuff to await my sister and her boys.
Not twenty minutes had passed and my sister and her family arrived. While greeting everyone and making sure that the kids had water, I heard a familiar voice chirp up.
"Well, you made it!" Fran announced as she and her children joined our group.
I was shocked. I had seen Fran a couple times earlier in the year. Seen would be a gross understatement. We'd met the day I was burying my mother and ended up in each other's arms and each other's privates twice in two days. This woman had a firm hold on my imagination and my sex drive. Hell, we'd fucked each other in the entry to my house without even getting the door closed! I had to leave just after that to finish my enlistment and to move my family back. I had intended to call her in the next couple of days to see if she wanted to maybe go to dinner but I guess that plan was out the window.
Fran saw my face and just started laughing. "Your sister called me and invited me and my kids along." she stated.
We all had a laugh at my expense and proceeded to set up a picnic under the canopy of the trees. Needless to say, the second a blanket hit the ground, all the kids took off like a heard of banshees to go explore the woods.
The adults sat and relaxed while sipping water and soft drinks. Gossip was exchanged and some playful bantering as everyone enjoyed to coolness of the forest. After an hour I felt the need to explore and see the forest.
As I got up and announced that I would be back in about an hour my sister chimed in "Why don't you take Fran with you? It's better hiking with company and we can watch the kids after they exhaust themselves."
Before I could even mutter a response Fran was at my side grabbing my arm to drag me into the forest. We walked along a path, enjoying the sight and smells that only you can find in the redwoods. My mind was relaxing with the atmosphere when Fran finally spoke up and exclaimed "Christ! I'm sweating to death here"
"Oh, don't be a baby, it's not too hot here; it's only in the eighties." I said in full parent voice.
"Easy for you, you're a guy! You can just take off your shirt if you start to sweat! I can't and I have to wear a bra too!" she retorted.
I could hear her being a little pissed. While she had on only a t-shirt and cotton shorts it had started to cling to her as she perspired. I enjoyed her perspiring. The shirt was clinging just enough to give a nice view of her breasts. While not huge, the were perfect to me in her b cup bra and I had fond memories of nibbling and sucking on them only a few months ago.
"Well, then take it off; I won't mind! Besides, I've seen them before and there is no one else around."
Fran blushed immediately. I could see the conflict in her head as she weighed the relief from the heat versus being semi-nude in public. It was quite attractive as a matter of fact; that look of innocent embarrassment. She and I had already had sex on two occasions but I could see her bashfulness shine through. I knew she hadn't had much experience with sex before and definitely was raised in a very prude household. Taking matters into my own hands, I stepped behind Fran and swiftly pulled her t-shirt over her head and off her body. She quickly moved her hands to cover her bra and started to crouch down. I couldn't help myself; I started to laugh.
"What's so funny?! Why are you laughing at me??" she said, tears forming in her eyes.
My heart melted right there. To see tears on her face, in her gold and brown eyes, made me swiftly go over and hold her close.
"I'm sorry. It was just the way you tried to make yourself invisible from eyes when there is no one within a mile of us now. I didn't mean to hurt you and I never will." I told her as I wiped the water away from her face. I leaned down and gently kissed her soft lips, drinking in the smell and touch of her as we embraced.
As my face moved back from hers she asked "Are you sure? You will protect me? The only men I've been with have hurt me and just discarded me like I was a used toy. I've never had a man who would protect me."
As she looked into my eyes I said "You have my word. Lets just take this one small step at a time. I'll just take this." My hands moved behind her to release her bra.
"Let me show you that you can trust me. Show me your trust." I said as I backed away from her, bra in hand.
Fran just stood there, trembling a little, blushing, staring into my eyes. Slowly she moved her arms to her sides, allowing the dappled light from the forest to highlight the rise and fall of her breasts. Her nipples, released from the trap of her bra, immediately hardened, standing out proudly from her areolas. The look of this woman, standing in the sunlight in a forest, with nothing more than a pair of shorts and hiking boots, was stunning. Her brown hair, falling in ringlets to her shoulders, set off against the alabaster of her skin, was a breathtaking sight. The look of innocence and trepidation mixed to an almost erotic sight of temptation.
Her breathing increased a bit. I could see the thrill in being naked outside of her bedroom was starting to excite her. I watched her slightly trembling as she looked into my eyes, my very soul. Slowly she moved her hands to her shorts, slowly unbuttoning them, moving them and her panties off her hips, to let them fall down to the forest floor. She stood there, a Venus embodied, in just a pair of worn hiking boots.
We stood there, looking into each other's eyes. It was almost as if a bond formed; her ability to allow herself to lose inhibition in the absolute trust that I would protect her. I could see the excitement of her being naked to the world overcome her fears. Her hands moved slightly to her pussy. It was already engorged with excitement as her fingers started to rub her folds and clit. Her fingers on her right hand played with her clit as her left moved inside her pussy, rubbing it and penetrating her sex.
"You'll protect me; never let anyone harm me?" She asked, slightly breathless.
"No one will ever do anything you don't want them to do as long as I breathe." I said, feeling the tightness in my groin as I watched this woman take the first steps towards her sexual liberation. "Any thing you want to do, I'll help you. Any fantasy you have, I'll help you. I'll never force you to do anything that you don't want to do yourself?
Her fingers sped up, moving in and out of her pussy. I could see the visible wetness of her excitement on the first three fingers of her left hand as she fucked herself in front of me. Her fingers were inside of her to the third knuckle as she worked herself up to her first orgasm. It came quickly, proceeded by a muffled gasp, as she came to her own touch in front of me. Her body spasmed as wave after wave radiated out from her pussy to her body. Fran fell to her knees as the pleasure overwhelmed her muscles. As her orgasm subsided, she curled up on her side in a pool of light, her eyes rolled back into her head.
I stood and just watched. It was the most erotic sight I had ever had. This somewhat reserved woman had allowed herself to be nude in public and then had masturbated in front of me while staring directly into my eyes. I vowed to myself not to lose this woman who could trust me so.
After a few minutes, I helped Fran to her feet. She made no move to retrieve her clothing. She left them on the forest floor as if it didn't exist. As I saw that she was not trying to pick it up, I gathered it all in one arm and reached out my hand to her.
