This story was inspired by a Lit friend who sent me a photo that she had taken on her deck.
It was a hot summer night and Jack just couldn't get to sleep. Getting out of bed, he wandered about the dark house aimlessly. As he stood by the kitchen sink getting a glass of water, his eyes were drawn to a light on his neighbor's back deck. Jack shook his head in disbelief, as he was sure that he caught a glimpse of his neighbor Shirley totally nude on her deck in that flash of light.
"I must be imaging it." he thought, for he knew Shirley to be a pretty straight businesswoman and he doubted she would be exposing herself like that.
He stood at his kitchen window and let his eyes adjust to the darkness outside. He saw movement on Shirley's deck and was sure someone was there in a lounge chair. Quietly he opened the sliding door to his own deck and stepped outside to try and get a closer look.
As he stood there, the evening breeze cooling his bare chest, he saw another flash and this time there was no doubt. Shirley was out on her deck, completely nude, snapping photos of herself.
Jack stood there in total disbelief, but could not take his eyes away from that deck. He found himself aroused, wanting to see more of those gorgeous curves that he had glimpsed so briefly.
He slipped back inside and down the stairs, quietly slipping out his back door. Moving slowly and stealthily he made his way to the back fence that separated their properties. Stepping up onto the wooden compost bin he was able to look over the fence toward Shirley's deck, only a few meters away.
His eyes had adjusted to the darkness and he could make out her shape on the lounge chair. There was no doubt she was nude and he could see her hand moving between her legs.
"Holy fuck," he thought, "this is so hot!"
His own hand moved to the front of his gym shorts and he squeezed the hardness beneath. He was totally aroused as he watched her. He had always thought of her as sexy, and often at parties had checked out her curvy body, but seeing her this way, doing what she was doing, had him in total lust for her.
His hand slipped down into his shorts, fingers squeezing his swollen flesh. And then it happened, his foot moved and the lid of the bin creaked.
He saw Shirley move to cover herself with a blanket and heard her voice, "Who's there?"
Not knowing what to do, he stammered, "Uh... it's me, Jack."
"What are you doing? Have you been watching me?"
"Ummmmmm yes, yes... I'm sorry!"
There was a pause, and then her voice again, "and did you like what you saw Jack?"
Composing himself, he replied, "Oh yes!"
