Jack got up early as he had done one hundred times before so that he could water his garden early in the morning before going to work. He has always watered in his dressing gown which is a short black t-shirt material cheap one with grey fringe. He received the dressing gown five years earlier for his thirtieth birthday and it is now worn and a little tattered but so indifferent to how it looks Jack is naked underneath and the dressing gown is almost never tied at the front. The summer had been hot and long and so having spent forty minutes watering the various beds and pots Jack was hot and sweaty and so sat on the faux rattan garden seating and removed his dressing gown completely.
Sitting admiring the garden Jack noticed some bind weed growing up around the fence mounted solar panel for a set of twinkling plastic bee garden lights. The sun is hot on his back but his skin is used to the rays as he often takes the opportunity to wander his garden naked when the rest of the house is asleep; he has done so since his first nude foray on World naked gardening day that he came across during lockdown in 2020. He thought it particularly apt that he get out in the garden today naked as it was July 14th International nude day and he needed no better excuse than that.
Jack always had to be aware of the seldom used public footpath that comes up across the field at the rear of his home just in case an early morning dog walker happened to pass and he tried to be sure no one was coming down the single track lane to the front of the country cottage where anyone looking over the gates would get an eye full of him naked in the early morning.
So having watered the plants that hot June morning he stripped off his black and grey dressing gown and in the relative safety of his back garden he began weeding and organising some of the pots before they fell into the full glare of the morning sun. So preoccupied was he with his attempt to untangle bind weed from a sculpted holly bush that he didn't notice the lady crossing the field on the public footpath between the now 3 foot tall stems of the wheat crop the farmer had planted in the previous October.
The lady, Helena, was a good ten years senior to the unaware gardener, had short cropped white hair parted on the right with a flicked fringe. Clearly an attractive lady who had looked after herself whilst working, probably outdoors, by the look of her comfortably tanned skin she was fit and what one might describe as slight. She wore a mustard yellow ribbed vest top, a long flowing Bo-Ho chic maxi skirt with some sort of floral explosion detailing that scuffed over her walking shoes as she made her way across the field.
Jack would have heard her on any other day as his senses were always heightened when wandering naked in the garden fearful of being discovered and 'caught out'; but the lady approaching was not like the others he had hidden from behind chairs, benches and tables in the past. She was walking the same path and wasn't intending to be stealthy in any way but she had no dog! Dog walkers in long grass crops are always calling the inquisitive hounds back to the path through the crop, or talking with fellow walkers if they are not alone, there can be the chinking of the metal dog leads or indeed the excited barking of the dogs themselves as they have their early morning constitutional.
Not today however. Helena had come to the gate into the field and even at almost 200 metres could see the man working diligently at the garden pots and the larger bordering holly bush. He was in his late 30's to early 40's as best she could tell. He was no Adonis but he was broad shouldered about six feet tall and in reasonable condition. It was obvious he spent time outside naked as he had no visible tan lines other than those where his feet went into a ragged pair of desert boots. His strong legs were the hairiest part of his body she noted, with his head shaved short as was his beard, his chest was lightly dappled with hair and his groin, over which her eyes hovered as he worked on oblivious to her gaze, was clearly well groomed. A rectangle of hair sat in the middle of his pubis with the rest of the area shaved clean, clearly a man who spent time on 'total appearance'.
Helena didn't know where to look? As he was directly in front of her as she crossed the field and a little higher elevation than she as the garden was set above the field she had nothing else to look at, to study. Unsurprisingly, as she got nearer, she looked more closely at his form, pleasing as it was to her. Then her gaze honed in on his circumcised penis which she noted had a pronounced helmet with an exceptional flared ridge that certainly 'intrigued' her. Indeed since her husband had sadly passed merely 18 months earlier from a horrid and rapid cancer this was the first naked man she'd seen in quite a while in fact as she thought about it with the exception of her late husband it was the first new cock she'd seen in the flesh in over thirty years. She surprised herself with this thought as it came unbidden to her mind. She wasn't one for such language usually but there it was staring her in the face, cock, a new cock and by the look of that satisfying ridge it would do wonders tickling her g-spot. She blushed slightly catching herself beginning to fantasise about some poor man trying to get a spot of gardening done early morning on another stifling summers day.
At this moment as she stood gazing over the three bar fence at her early morning treat, a memory she expected she'd be revisiting in the bath she was planning to have on her return home, he turned and saw his impromptu audience,
