Anya struggled to push herself out of her kayaks cockpit coaming while trying desperately to keep a grip on her paddle. The water wasn't as cold as it had been earlier in the spring, but the sudden dunking and finding herself upside down in the chilly water still had her disoriented.
She managed to kick her legs free and pull herself up to the surface exactly like she had trained and practiced so many times. As Anya's head broke the surface in a spray of droplets and an explosive gasp for air a ski boat that had just passed and capsized her circled back. Anya spit out a mouthful of water as the people on the boat laughed raucously before gunning the engine and speeding away.
"Bastards!" Any yelled at the rapidly retreating boat.
Anya kicked over to her overturned Eddyline kayak and managed to right it before slipping her paddle beneath the deck lines behind the kayak's cockpit. What had started off as a beautiful, cloudless day perfect for kayaking along the slough had instantly been ruined by a few assholes with undersized dicks, an oversize boat and a few beers. Anya unsnapped her paddle float from where she had it secured on the back deck before slipping it over the end of her paddle blade farthest away from her kayak. With the makeshift pontoon in place Anya paddled back to her kayak to start untying her sump pump.
"Do you need any help?" a man's voice yelled causing Anya to flinch and her head to bob beneath the surface of the water again.
Anya came back to the surface spluttering before managing to turn in a circle to see where the voice had came from. A second ski boat was bobbing in the water only a dozen feet away, its engine idling so quietly that Anya hadn't heard it approach.
"No!" Anya yelled angrily, "You've done enough already thank you!"
"Whoa," the man said with his hands upraised palms out before him, "You'd think I was the one who capsized you!
"Sure you don't need any help at all?"
"I'm fine!" Anya snapped, realizing that the man in the boat really hadn't had anything to do with what had just happened and feeling just a little ashamed.
Anya began to turn around to finish getting her sump pump loose before she hesitated as something about the man seemed vaguely familiar. Anya's jaw dropped and she felt her cheeks begin to heat when recognition finally hit. The man's dirty blond hair that seemed to always be in need of a comb had her remembering all the times she had watched him walk past the front of her apartment with his German Sheppard. She began to blush even more when she recalled all the times she had sat in her favorite chair in the morning wearing nothing but panties after having just got out of bed while fantasizing about inviting the man in as he walked by.
She wasn't sure how many times this man had managed to help her start the day with a pleasurable start, but she could not believe that he was here now trying to rescue her.
"Are you sure you're Ok?" the man asked once more worriedly.
"Yea," Anya said apologetically, "I'm sorry I snapped, but you know..."
"Well, you just got capsized and probably on purpose to," the man said a bit angrily himself, "That gives you an excuse to get a little snappy in my book."
"Assholes," Anya said as she bobbled in the waves, her lifejacket easily keeping her afloat.
"No argument with you there," the man said with a smile, "Listen, there's a sandbar about a quarter mile down river. Why don't you give me your tow line and climb on board, I'll tow your boat down to the bar and you can dump the water out of your kayak."
"I've got a pump," Anya replied, bobbing in the waves that were being reflected off the hull of the ski boat as it slapped down into the water.
"Are you sure?" the man asked, "It's no problem and I wouldn't mind anchoring to get out and stretch a bit myself."
Anya's stomach knotted as she really saw the man standing in the ski boat and more importantly noticed that he was wearing only a pair of swim trunks, his flat stomach and chest bare.
"You live over by Birch Lane, don't you," Anya suddenly asked.
"A couple of blocks from there," the man said in surprise, "Do I know you?"
"Well, no," Anya replied hastily, "But I've seen you walking your German Sheppard by my house a couple of times in the mornings."
"Small world," the man laughed, "I'm Jake by the way and now you have to let me help you since we're neighbors!"
Anya looked up at Jake's smiling face and noticed his eyes which were a beautiful blue gray before suddenly deciding.
"Alright," Anya said, unclipping the bow towline on her kayak and slipping her paddle from beneath the deck lines before swimming over to the transom of the ski boat.
Anya handed the towline and paddle up to Jake who then reached a callused hand down to Anya and pulled her easily up onto the boat. Water sluiced off Anya's body as she stepped barefoot into the boat.
"I hope you don't mind me getting water everywhere," Anya said in embarrassment as water dripped off her body.
"It's a boat," Jake laughed, "And you are?"
"Anya," Anya replied, her face heating again.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you Anya, although I wish it was under better circumstances," Jake replied with a smile.
"There's towels under the seat there if you want to dry off," Jake said as he tied the towline to a cleat and sat down behind the ski boat's steering wheel, "I'll take it easy until we get up to the sand bar so I don't flip your kayak again."
Anya lifted the seat and found a stack of fluffy white towels before selecting one. The ski boat barely shifted as Jake eased the throttle forward just enough to get the boat underway as he watched Anya's kayak closely. Anya glanced back at her kayak which was still over half full of water to make sure it wasn't going to capsize before unbuckling her life jacket and hastily toweling off. She was glad that today was warm since her bikini shorts and sports top were completely soaked. As Anya finished she smiled as she caught Jake quickly turning around from where he had been watching her.
"Where do you live exactly?" Jake asked with a glance at Anya as she sat in the seat opposite him.
"At the Sandals Apartments on Birch," Anya said as she stretched out in the seat while keeping Jake in the corner of her eye.
"Those always seemed like nice apartments," Jake replied.
Anya smiled again as she caught Jake peeking at her, his eyes traveling from her legs up to her auburn hair and back down to her legs again. When Anya looked over at Jake he smiled before turning his attention back to the river.
Anya's pulse began to race as she looked at Jake sitting in the seat next to her and thought about all the times she had made herself cum while daydreaming about him and his walks by her apartment in the morning. Granted, mornings tended to be the horniest part of the day for her and she couldn't be blamed if he tended to walk by at what just happened to be the time she usually took care of that particular ache, but now he was sitting next to her after 'rescuing' her and from the sudden bulge in his swim trunks he was more than a little interested in her as well. Jake glanced at Anya, still smiling and she suddenly made up her mind.
"Do you mind if I try to get my top dry?" Anya asked innocently.
"Uh, no, go right ahead," Jake replied, "There's more towels under the seat, use as many as you like."
"That's ok," Anya said as she pulled her sports top over her head.
Jake did a double take as Anya stood up to first twist and squeeze as much water out of her yellow sports bra over the side of the boat before draping it over the window frame so that it would dry in the breeze. Anya tried to hide a smile when she saw his eyes lingering on her firm B cup breasts.
"I hope this is Ok," Anya said with a smile of her own as she noticed the bulge in Jake's swim trunks jerk.
"Ah, no... definitely not a problem!" Jake said with a grin, "In fact you could always dry your shorts too!"
"Really?" Anya said innocently as she watched Jake, "You wouldn't mind?"
Anya couldn't believe what she was doing as she stood up to push her black bikini shorts down until they pooled around her feet. She leaned over and picked them up before wringing them out over the side and hanging them beside her top, twisting her body enough so that Jake, who was staring unabashed at Anya's body could see her smooth waxed mound before sitting back down.
