The night had finally come, the night I had been thinking about for a while now. There had been something I had wanted to do, experience, but was never able to conjure up the courage...at least until now. I wanted to feel wild, primal, and free, and now it seemed the opportunity had arisen. My naughty ambition was nothing spectacular, it was more of a personal endeavor, to see if I could do it, and feel the thrill of it, feel my heart racing as it already was with anticipation.
The summer's night was warm, the air still gentle and barely a breeze for miles. I locked my front door. Closed the curtains and switched on the living room lights and television. However what I wanted to do wouldn't be taking place in this room, the idea was to make the house look occupied, while for a brief while, it would be vacant.
I had spoken to some like minded people online, people who regularly enjoyed the feeling of naturism and encouraged me to sample it. I don't consider myself a nudist but this I felt would give me a bit of a rush of adrenaline, for it was a matter of hidden exhibitionism, if such a term exists. My back garden was very dark, only slightly illuminated by the motion light attached to the wall besides the exterior kitchen window. I looked out and couldn't see a thing, just my own nervous reflection in the window. Stepping outside, I didn't feel much drastic temperature difference, it may have been in fact cooler in the house.
I looked around as I slowly stepped forward into the darkness as the light triggered. My garden was very hidden from view. The house stood separately, as did all of them in the neighborhood, and the garden was surrounded by thick woodland trees. This was ideal for sunbathing without getting tan lines. I knew I had the opportunity now, nobody else was around, I was all alone, in fact it felt like this would be the perfect opening scene for a scary movie.
I psyched myself up "Come on Claire, you can do this, you want this" as I stepped further into the garden, away from the safety of the house and the light. My current state of dress wasn't much, a pair of sturdy boots, some shorts, and a hooded sweatshirt, nothing else. I had made sure to leave my back door unlocked to avoid any awkward conversation with any neighbors how I had gotten myself stuck outside my own house.
I reached the back fence and carefully pulled myself up, my eyes were still adjusting to the low-light conditions but I could see well enough. Gently and carefully I navigated myself over the back fence and stood now facing the darkened woodland that resided behind my home. I knew it didn't stretch on for too far, perhaps a quarter mile, with a picturesque stream at about the half way point. Beyond that half mile point was a stone wall of which was the boundary of private land on which I had seen horses before now.
I did have one other thing on me, my mobile phone, so I could use the light from it if needed and to speak to my confidants about my progress. I took a big gulp as I began to do what I felt would be the hardest part, actually undressing. I tried not to think too much about it. Nobody could see me, nobody even knew I was there. I quickly pulled up my hoodie, up and off over my head and placed it neatly on the ground. I then stepped out of the boots and immediately felt the cool dirt and woodland ground leaf under my bare feet. I pushed down my shorts and stepped out of them, placing them atop the boots.
Finally, I had done it. I was now naked in the woods. I could feel my heart racing a mile a minute, this was so naughty, risky and exciting, yet many would consider this a fairly mild rush. I somehow felt more visible now, I think the whiteness of my skin complexion almost made me look like I was glowing in the dark. I stood there and wriggled my toes, feeling the earth beneath me, taking long deep breaths as the ever so gentle night breeze brushed against my bare body.
