Jack and Diane woke to thunder shortly before dawn. A downpour hammered on the tent so loud they had to yell to be heard.
"We need the rain," said Jack, zippering the tent door closed. He checked the weather app on his phone. "Not going to stop until tonight."
Diane stood and peeked out. The rain fell so hard it looked like fog. "I need to pee."
"Me too. We're already naked. Let's go outside and pee, then come back and dry off. I have towels in the duffle," he said, as he dug them out.
"Sounds like a plan."
Jack unzipped the flap and held it open. "Ladies first."
"Thank you. You're such a gentleman." Then she stepped out into the deluge. "It's so cold!"
He took her hand and rushed to the shelter of trees. "Better?"
Teeth chattering, she said, "I guess," and squatted.
Jack took a few steps away and peed on a tree. They finished and headed back to the tent. This time she pulled him along.
"No running. Slippery when wet. Remember what happened."
"Okay! Okay!" Diane moved behind him and pressed against his back while they walked in tandem. "This is warmer."
"Yeah, and it feels good, too."
Just inside the tent, they stood to keep the drippage in one place. They faced each other. Jack wrapped a large beach towel around them both and rubbed warmth back into Diane's goose bumped flesh.
"I like this part," she said, resting her cheek on his shoulder.
"I'm here to warm you up!"
"Okay. But I think that's 'pump you up'."
"You always have to warm up first, though," said Jack, relishing the slippery softness of Diane against his body. A familiar tingle grew figuratively and literally between his legs. She must have felt some movement. Pressing tighter against him, she swayed and made a mewing sound of interest. He backed away, knowing there was an unsatisfactory limitation between his desire and fulfillment.
Before anything further could be said or done, Diane's cellphone chirped. Taking the towel with her, she retrieved and unlocked the screen, while Jack finished drying himself with another less enjoyable towel. She laughed and covered her mouth.
"What?"
"Nothing," she said, turning the phone into landscape mode.
"Doesn't look like nothing."
"Um, I guess Lou's feeling better."
"That's good!"
"Uh huh," she answered in a distracted way.
Jack moved behind her to look over her shoulder, but she pressed the phone against her chest hiding the screen. "Let me see."
"Are you sure? They're, um, performing an intimate act."
He wasn't sure. This open sexuality between friends was not for him. Seemed perverted to broadcast your sex life. But it was Diane's past, and if he wanted to be in her present, he'd have to at least get to know her predilections. Grabbing her wrist, he easily pulled the phone away from her chest to where he could see.
In explanation, Diane said, "When Larry was alive, we used to send each other 'wake up' calls on weekends... for fun. I guess they want to include us now."
Jack watched the live action unfold. It was the view from the picture frame camera on the dresser in Diane's room. Lou was on his back. His hands were behind his head on the pillow. Sharon wore a blindfold as she rode him cowgirl style. When Sharon rose, Jack spotted a green phallus unsheathe between her legs. There were black straps wrapped around Lou's hips. He remembered the Hulk sized strap-on from Diane's closet.
Despite his emotional discomfort, his heart rate doubled. "I saw that toy when I looked through your closet. It's huge!"
Diane smiled, and said, "Yes, it is. And it feels incredible."
A mental image bloomed in his mind's eye. Unwilling to ask more about her experience with the hollow green giant, Jack wrapped his arms around Diane and pressed against her back. "This is wrong. It's weird."
"Only if you make it weird. I think watching my friends enjoying each other is... exciting."
Wanting to show his acceptance of her freakishness, Jack's lips gently kissed her shoulder and neck, while catching peripheral glimpses of Sharon's ups and downs. Diane turned up the volume on the phone to hear her friend moan in pleasure. She echoed her friend's response to stimuli, and said, "Play with my nipples, Sweetie."
Obediently, his hands rose to cup each breast. His fingers teased each nipple fully erect. "Why is she blindfolded?"
"Sometimes you want to have complete control of your fantasy. This is Sharon's way of getting her imagination focused."
On screen, Sharon began to pump harder, "Oh my god, Lou! Jack feels so good in me!"
"What!"
Diane rubbed her ear and laughed. "Not so loud, Honey. I guess we know who her fantasy is about," she said. Her free hand slipped behind to fondle his soft cock.
