We made our way down the hills and back towards the campground and the thumping music. The bowl of earth that surrounded the festival captured the sound and sent it echoing back and forth, filling the campground with a low vibration. Above us the night was a pitch black bowl, the stars unable to compete with the flashing lights of the DJ booth. The pulsing lights washed the surrounding hills, transforming them into a day-glo fairy castle and pillared walls. I was amazed how different the world looked from inside the bowl.
We approached the campground, weaving our way carefully through the weave of support cables and tent stakes. We were both still naked. By then it just felt comfortable, and we were still hidden by the darkness. The dance area glowed brightly ahead of us.
We paused briefly at the outer edge of the dance area. Penelope turned to me.
"I guess that's it" she said, looking a little sad.
I made a show of looking up at the sky. There might have been a slight brightening of the sky, but the sun was far from being up.
"The night is not over yet." I said.
She cocked her hip and looked at me. "Now what? Are you going to paint me again?"
I looked around at the dancers. The crowd was still going full tilt into the night. They were not ready to stop, and neither was I. An idea grew. "Nope. Come on."
I grabbed her hand and led her towards the dance floor. She resisted for only a moment before letting me pull her along. Within moments we were within the throng of dancers. A part of me did recognize that I was as naked as she, but at that point I just didn't care. It wasn't a thrill to me, and I knew for a fact that a naked guy on the dance floor is treated as a funny thing. A naked girl, though...
She was behind me, so I couldn't see her face, but I could see the faces of the dancers we were walking though. The crowd parted before me, but all eyes were locked on her. Most just smiled and kept on dancing. Some stopped dancing completely to stare as we walked by.
I made my way through the entire crowd, reaching the other edge of the dance area before turning around to look at her. She had not let go of my hand, and held on to it still. She looked, if anything, embarrassed. I could see a red blush on her chest and face and she kept her yes down.
"Are you OK?" I asked.
She nodded yes, looking around her through lowered eyes. A few guys were looking at her, dancing absent-mindedly. She definitely had an audience.
"I thought you would enjoy that," I said.
"Usually I'm wearing something! Even if it's just paint." she replied, sounding almost cross.
But her nipples were hard and tight on her breasts. She was also making no attempt to move away from the crowd, waiting for my next move. I was pushing her beyond her usual boundaries, and she liked it.
"Come on, we're almost there," I said as I pulled her along.
I hadn't crossed the dance area just for the thrill. I had a destination. We reached it quickly: the raised dance platform where we had last seen the dancing girl with the hula hoop and the butt plug. It was slightly to the side of the dance floor, but still in full view of every one, and brightly lit. A few girls were dancing on top of it, lost in the music, oblivious to us.
I turned to Penelope and smiled a wicked grin.
"The stairs are up the back," I said, pulling her forward.
She didn't hesitate, but her shoulders hunched forward, as if she wanted to hide her naked breasts. Her body was saying no, but her feet were taking her up the platform stair without a pause.
She meekly started dancing on the platform, partially shielded by the other two girls. One of the dancing girls moved a bit to make some room and did a double take when she saw that Penelope was naked. She shimmied a bit more before giving up. The competition had arrived and she had lost. The other girl just gave an embarrassed laughed and kept dancing, but soon she too walked off. Penelope was left alone, naked, on the raised platform. A small group of guys had gathered, most trying to be nonchalant about the naked girl on the stage in front of them. But they were looking. I was on the side, and I was looking too.
Penelope at first tried not to look. She kept her head lowered, looking down at her feet as she shuffled to the music. She kept her body closed off, her arms doing most of the moving. Then she closed her eyes, found the thumping beat at the heart of the music, and started to really move.
At the next drop of the beat, she threw herself into the music.
Before, she had been a statuesque young woman, naked except for the thin layer of dust and the patterns traced upon them. The curves of her waist and hips, the shallow swell of her belly leading into the deep V of her hips and thighs, the round full breasts tipped in dusty pink, a slender neck, the beautiful face outlined by the messy curls of brown hair. She could have been a greek statue.
Now, she was savage. Her hair flipping back and forth as she threw her body into the rhythm. Her hands jabbed at the music, body thrust into the air. She kept her eyes screwed shut, head either down or flung up to the black sky, mouth open.
Her legs also opened. She squatted down, knees flying open and closed; jumped up, threw her ass in the air, circling her hips like a mad belly dancer. There was power and release in her dance. She let her body move, completely uninhibited.
Her legs opened, and so did her pussy. I saw it clearly, and so could all the guys looking at her dancing. At first it was the familiar swell of flesh, the peek of the more delicate inner lips. But as she danced, her pussy swelled and opened. The outer lips parted when she opened her knees, and never closed again. Her sex was open, her clit at attention, her inner lips revealing a darker interior from which a thin line of moisture was seeping out, obvious as it traced a line in the dust of her thigh. She was incredibly turned on, and incredibly sexy. Several of the men were trying to hide their rising excitement.
Then she opened her eyes.
She looked straight out at the dancing crowd, then straight at the small group of men in front of her platform. Her hands started playing with her hips, her breasts. She kept her eyes locked on the men, finding their gaze, flitting by the obvious erections in their loose pants. She continued dancing while pinching her nipples, rolling them between her fingers.
Her dancing became more fixed around her hips. She turned around and found a beat to which she could bend forward, legs slightly open, letting her pussy wink at the guys from between the globes of her ass. Then her hips would keep swinging, going round and round, and her pussy was hidden again. She faced forward and dipped her hands between her thighs, crushing her breasts between her arms, making them burst out.
