The early summer twilight lifted me out of a peaceful, sound sleep. I rolled on my side and wrapped an arm over my lover, cradling her small, soft body and savoring the warmth of skin on skin. It would be a while before my alarm called the day's events into motion. I gently cupped her breasts while my mind wandered.
Yesterday's adventures had exhausted us both, and we'd settled in together not long after dark. On Elysa's suggestion, we had taken the 'no clothes in the tent' rule a step further by disrobing at the car. We strode naked, slowly, across the campsite. Our hearts pounding, we walked hand in hand as the flicker of nearby campfires and the laughter of our neighbors danced around the lake. I wondered if any of the wandering eyes that had spied Elysa earlier were still watching. We took our time, pausing more than once to make out, finally crawling into our sleeping bag for one more session of serene and sensual lovemaking.
Stirred by my gentle touches, Elysa turned slightly and backed against me, nestling her bare bottom into my crotch.
"Goodmorning" she mumbled sleepily. "Mmm, you're warm."
We spooned, drifting in and out of slumber as the rising sun brightened our tent. Soon enough the alarm signaled. I sat up.
"Brr!" Elysa shivered. "Come back, you're so warm. And so hot." She reached out and ran her fingers up my back.
"I got a better idea." I turned to look at her with a devilish grin. "How about a sunrise swim?"
"What?! No, you're crazy! I'm already freezing." She protested.
"Dare ya!" I joked. "Trust me, it'll wake you right up. Plus, you'll forget all about the cold."
"I don't believe that for a second." She said, rubbing her eyes and propping up on her elbows.
I opened the tent, ignoring her protests. A silvery carpet of morning dew covered the dry grass around us. The crisp air made all my hairs stand on end. I loved a cold swim to get me going in the morning, and I hoped Elysa would be willing enough to give it a shot.
