It was HOT! The weather I mean. We had had 3 straight weeks of temps in the 90's and I was sick of it. It was a Saturday and like most I was at work for the morning putting in my obligatory half day with no pay. It wasn't too bad. I would arrive early around 7AM and stay till 11AM to satisfy the boss with my dedication and leave before he got there and before the customers started really arriving. Everybody accepted this as my schedule and nobody bitched too much because they all knew I arrived early to get the field crews out and assigned before the lazy assed salespeople were even out of bed. Then I would get out meet my girlfriend for an afternoon and my wife thought I was at work. Even if she tried to call the office they would tell her I left and I would tell her I was in the field at a jobsite. If she really needed me she would page me. She knew better than to call my cell phone unless someone was dying. I just didn't allow it.
So barring emergencies, I would be free to spend the afternoon with my girlfriend / best friend. We would often meet for a golf game this time of year sometimes just shopping or driving around the area pretending to be tourists or whatever we felt like. Today we were supposed to play golf meet at the clubhouse at 11:30, light lunch, 9 holes and then maybe another quick hole, but not golf.
I got to the clubhouse a little early and found the bar was open even though it was before the usual lunchtime opening. I ordered a cold draft, because of the heat. It was 93 F and not even noon yet and the humidity was high. Combine the high temp and high humidity and it can only be described as oppressive.
I was on my second beer when Tracy arrived and joined me. Damn she looked good in her shorts and light tanktop, thin spaghetti straps and thin material and no bra. She didn't really need one as she was not all that big, "B" cup, but in the air conditioned clubhouse her nipples came to immediate attention.
Neither of us felt like Tee'ing off yet so we ordered a light lunch and another beer and talked. Mostly what we talked about was how damn hot it was and it turned out neither of us really wanted to be on the links in this weather. The discussion centered on what to do instead. We both decided a swim would be perfect but neither of us had suits with us.
Then I had a brain storm. Just down the road from the Golf course was some state owned land with a couple of access roads running throughout it. You couldn't drive the roads as they had them gated and locked but you were allowed to hike in and once you got past the gates it was heavy forest land. Strolling through the shade might be nice, besides who knows what might develop in the wilds.
So we bought a couple of bottles of water and headed down the road, pulled into the parking area and found we were the only cars around. Down the trail we went. About a half mile along the access road a trail led off to the right and down the hill so feeling adventurous we started down the trail, after about 10 minutes I heard water rushing over rocks and followed the sound to a clearing beside a stream.
It was a beautiful little clearing and easily 10 degrees cooler than the top of the hill between the large Hemlocks shadowing the area and the cold mountain stream flowing over the rocks it brought the air temperature down or at least made it see cooler. It was obvious we weren't the first people here as there were a couple of piles of old charcoal left from campfires and the usual scattering of a few beer cans. The area apparently was used by kids out sneaking a beer.
We were drawn to the stream by the promise of cool water. A fast moving good sized stream flowing over an exposed rock shelf and ending about 20 yards downstream in a small waterfall and a large crystal clear pool.
Well we looked at each other and decided a walk down to the top of the falls was needed. Off came the shoes and socks and into the water we waded. God it felt good the cold water running over our feet and legs we walked in the knee deep water to the top of the falls and out onto the rock shelf that overlooked the water about 4 feet below. Now the rock was out in the sun and was warm, almost hot against our backsides as we sat down to enjoy the idyllic spot and it wasn't long until the sun was hot on our backs also. Soon we could feel every bit of the 90+ degree temperature.
I looked at Tracy and said "How about a swim."
I got the reply I expected "But I don't have a suit."
"Who needs one?" I countered "Look around, there's nobody here to see you except me and I've already seen everything you have, up close and personal."
Now Tracy is a vixen in the bed and isn't shy about her body when it's the two of us, but out in public is another story. The swim suit is always a one piece and the clothes are always fairly conservative never revealing much, and if I got a little frisky in public she would get all embarrassed. Always a lady in public but a slut in bed! So I knew that getting her skinny dipping would be a problem.
Well as hot as it was I wasn't going to worry and if she wanted to roast that was her problem. So I stripped off my shirt and started on my shorts and underwear when she realized I was going to get naked out in the air and go swimming. She gave a little squeak and said "Bob, you can't take your clothes off here, somebody will see you."
"I can't?" I answered, "Watch me and if somebody does wander down here and sees me I don't care. Let them look and if they like what they see so much the better, if they don't they can leave."
So I finished striping down, stood up for all the world to see what the good Lord gave me and dove in to the cool clear water below. It was refreshing! As my head broke the surface when I came up I heard Tracy yell, "How is it?"
"Great! Come on, join me. Leave your top and underwear on if you're chicken" I answered.
