Walking through the woods has always been one of life's little pleasures that I have deeply enjoyed. The fresh air, the aroma of the earth. Communing with nature is revitalizing for the soul.
There's a trail nearby that I walk every chance I get. I'm sure there are others who know about it, but you can't tell that from the trail itself as there's never any sign of anyone being there. Of course, I never really thought about what that means. There should at least be footprints in the dirt. Nothing looked disturbed, no footprints. I was sure I was not the only one who knew about this trail though. I decided not to dwell on it and just enjoy my walk.
So, I'm taking my stroll, enjoying the smells and taking pictures when I heard a twig snap. I jumped and turned around to see where the noise came from.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you."
I was looking into the blue eyes of a man who made my heart skip a beat. I had never seen him here before. But what struck me most, was the way he was able to sneak up on me.
"I didn't want to disturb you while you were taking pictures," he said walking toward me.
"That's ok," I replied. "I don't usually spook that easily, but I guess I was just really engrossed by that yellow butterfly."
"A nature lover I see," he replied. As he stepped forward, the sunlight shone down between the trees and fell on him. The sun made his eyes sparkle like sapphires.
"Uh, yeah, I am," I tripped over my words. Those eyes of his. I felt a tingling down low that I haven't felt in a long time.
"Always nice to meet a fellow naturist. My name's Troy, by the way."
"Um, nice to meet you Troy."
We shook hands and all of a sudden, Troy went very still.
"Don't move," he said still holding my hand. He slowly pulled me toward him. My pulse started to race.
"What is it?" I asked in a whisper. I didn't know whether to be pleased or scared. He stilled so fast, but the look in his eyes was not one of fear. More like amusement.
"Very slowly, turn around. There's a mother deer with her fawn about ten feet behind you."
I turned around being careful as not to frighten the deer. In doing so, I ended up stepping back into Troy's arms. His chest was warm against my back. He put his hands on my shoulders and leaned down to whisper in my ear.
"Isn't it amazing? I don't know the last time I have seen something like this let alone being this close."
We stood that way for what must've been ten minutes, but seemed like forever, yet not long enough. I actually found myself reluctant to leave the warmth of Troy's touch. Another pleasant surprise came when instead of stepping away from me, he spun me around to face him. Instead of his chest against my back, it was now against my aching breasts. Troy then cupped my cheek in his hand and leaned in to kiss me. At first, it was just a brush of his lips on mine. When I didn't back away, he deepened the kiss. Before I knew it, his tongue was pushing my lips apart to slide inside my mouth. His kiss took my breath away.
When at last Troy leaned away from me, his hand left my cheek, slid down my neck and came to rest just above my right breast. As his blue eyes looked into my green ones, my cheeks flushed and I felt the burning sensation begin down below. He must have felt something too because he leaned in to kiss me again. This time he went straight for the deep kiss. As we kissed, his hand slipped down to cup my breast. He started kneading my breast and I gasped into his mouth. He was making me dizzy with delight.
When he finally broke off the kiss, his hand slid down my arm and slid into my hand. Silently, we walked hand in hand down the path for a little pace. We came to a small clearing surrounded by pine trees filled with singing birds. The sun shinning down on the small pond in the middle of the tall grass along with the fragrant odor of wildflowers made the place surreal.
Troy pulled me by the hand toward the edge of the pond. I noticed that the grass did not bend where we walked the way it should have. It bounced right back into place as if no one had passed at all. When we got to the edge of the pond, I noticed there was a blanket on the ground.
"Expecting company I see," I said as Troy took me to the blanked and we sat down facing the sparkling water.
"Not at all."
"Well then, why the blanket?"
