Coming up around the next bent I saw her a few hundred yards further up the crest walking alongside her mountain bike. As I came closer I noticed how it seemed to be taken a lot of effort for her to even walk up the steep hill and when I passed her and saw the fatigue on her face I stopped immediately to offer my help.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
She had stopped as well and could barely speak to thank me. Observing her dried-up lips and the despair look in her eyes, it was obvious that she wasn't. Quickly I grabbed the bidon from my bike to offer her some water, which she eagerly placed at her lips to take some generous gulps. After she had almost finished it all, she got her voice back a bit and started to explain to me how this was her first time cycling in this area and that she totally had miscalculate how hot it would get here. Only 1 hr into her journey she had completely emptied her water bottle and realised too late she had to get back to an area with some civilization to get some more water.
"Well you're lucky," I said. "Civilization is just over the top there and that is also where my truck is parked. Why don't you give me your bike and I walk you up there."
I offered my hand to introduce myself, "I'm Jack by the way."
A smile spread across her face and for the first time I realized how beautiful her lips were. After some fresh water they had regained some of their natural pink colour and revived to their fullness.
"Hi Jack by the Way, I'm Mandy very lucky," she joked while shaking my hand. "You have no idea how glad I am that you stopped to help me"
"I don't think I would have made it on my own," she continued as she handed me her bike.
Taking the bike from her in my hand, I offered her to lead the way. With one bike in either hand I followed her up the single track. Mandy's petite figure was a joy to my eyes as I let them gaze down the small of her back towards her firm rounded butt that was outlined in her spandex shorts. She was maybe around 5' tall with toned legs that widened slightly at the hips to give her a very feminine hourglass figure. Though I shouldn't have been thinking about it I could not stop my mind from wondering what it would be like to have those legs wrapped around my waist and feeling her soft bum in my hands. It made my cock twitch under my cycle pants just as the front wheel of her bike hit a big rock and I almost tumbled over.
Mandy stopped and turned her head over her shoulder to look back what was going on and asked, "Are you ok back there?"
Her warm smile made my blood start to race through my veins even faster and feeling my face get flushed, afraid that she might have read my mind I quickly answered, "Yes I'm fine, just hit a small bump on the track back there."
"Oh ok, you need to watch out for bumps," she replied with a smile. "I'm in no position to lend you a hand if you hurt yourself."
Not sure if it was the heat affecting my brain or the fact she was not herself due to the dehydration, but it sure looked like she was trying to flirt with me. Even following her up the remaining few 100 yards I was sure she just put a little bit more sway into her hips and I could not veer my eyes away from her sweet looking bumps all the way to the top. From there on the path widened up, leading to a recreational area and a car park. It allowed me to walk-up beside her to tell her that we were almost there and that I had some bottles of water in the cooler of my truck. By the look on her face I could tell she was relieved and the sound of more refreshing water was welcomed with another great smile. As we walked onto the carpark, my truck was the only one there and after resting the bikes against the back I got my car keys out of my pockets and handed them over to her.
"Go have a rest, the water is in the cooler in the back cabin," I instructed her. "I will load up the bikes and take you where you need to go."
As I picked up her bike to load it up the bike stand on the bed of my truck I noticed the sticker from Russel's Bike Shop and the rental label. Immediately it became clear to me that she must not be from around here, which why it was her first time cycling these canyons and her miscalculation of the heat. While I finished loading up the bikes and securing them, I thought to myself that she was probably here on business and where she would be staying. My imagination started to run wild ideas into my head that she might be all alone tonight and I could be getting lucky taking her out later this evening for a bite to eat and maybe something more. When I got into the driver seat I was rewarded with a stunning view. Mandy had removed her helmet and her long wavy blond hair was cascaded down over her shoulders. Her seat was slightly reclined and she had her eyes closed. The zipper of her cycle jersey was pulled down just far enough to allow her to rest a cold water battle at the top of her chest. With just the top of her ample breasts on display I watched some clear drops of moister trickling down her soft tanned skin, before they disappeared under her jersey. Though they were not huge, her breasts still looked impressive contrasted to her petite frame.
Barely able to think by the distraction I caught gently and said, "So where do you need to go?"
The heat must have done a toll on her as she looked at me with dozy eyes and started to explain that her car was at this bike store called Russel's. Actually it was her friends' car, who she was visiting for the week. She had dropped her off in town earlier because she had to do a late shift at work, before driving to Russel's for getting a ride in.
"I'm not feeling much like driving yet, so perhaps you can drop me off at her place," she suggested.
"But how will you get back to Russel's to pick up the car later and get your friend from town?"
She looked a bit confused at the point I was making and obviously had not thought that far ahead yet so I quickly added, "Why don't you come back to my place, you can take a shower and get some rest. If you feel better later I will drive you to Russel's or if you are still feeling pooped, I can drive you into town to pick up your friend from work when she is done and drop you both off back there."
"That is so sweet of you, are you sure I'm not burdening you?" she asked.
"How could it be a burden helping a sexy girl like her," I thought and replied, "Not at all, it's my pleasure to be able to help a fellow cyclist"
"I don't know how to thank you."
Her sweet smile made me feel warm in side and after I acknowledged her question if she could get me a fresh bottle of water as well, that heat was rushing straight down to my loins. Leaning over the centre console to reach for the cooler in the back, the side of her jersey pulled open baring her right breast to me, only concealed by the lace cup of her bra.
"Here you go," she said without shame, handing me a fresh bottle of water.
The brief moment had caused my own predicament of a rapidly growing cock that started to become rather obviously outlined under my latex cycling shorts. Hoping she hadn't noticed, I thanked her for the water and quickly started the car to drive off. It took about 20 minutes to get back to my house, which is located in a cul-de-sac on the other side of town. With Mandy resting next to me it was hard to keep my eyes on the road and every now and again I sneaked a glance down her legs or at her jersey which she had not bothered to close all the way back up. By the time we got there I had to nudge her to wake her up again.
"We are here," I told her and got out to open up the garage.
When I got back in to park the car into the garage, she had woken up slightly and was looking around to get her bearings. The cul-de-sac I live at is very quiet and secluded with only 6 freestanding houses in a half circle surrounded by woods.
"Wow," she said in awe. "You live here all by yourself?"
Unfortunately I did. My previous relationship had ended about 2 years ago and determined to keep the house I had been working two jobs to buy her out and pay her share. It was probably the only good thing I gained out of the 7 year marriage.
"Yes, just me, myself and I," I joked.
Walking into the house it became obvious that I was living on my own. There were beer bottles and a pizza box with two slices of cold pizza in it from the previous evening still sitting on the coffee table.
