I unexpectedly felt her body push in return against me as I pressed into her back. Her soft hair, now slightly tousled, brushed along my cheek. As I reached for her again to steady myself, she looked back to me. The unexpected glare that met mine brought me back to reality.
"Can't you pay attention to where you're going for even a minute?" she mumbled.
Blushing from the sudden reality check, I offered a cursory smile and looked away. With my hands still on her hips for balance, I couldn't resist pulling her ass back against me again for the fun of it.
"Settle down," she teased, fully aware of exactly what she was up against.
The crowds are one of the reasons I dread being taken to the mall. It almost rings of a judicial sentence, only I never had a chance to bargain for a plea. I can make the most of any situation though and an urbane outing such as this, is no exception. I'm more of a nature lover, choosing skinny-dipping in the moonlight over the indoor pool at the club. Walking while wandering in my thoughts also comes naturally to me, even with it's price tag.
The flowing grace of her long bouncing curls caught my eye, but her sparkling green eyes are what quickened my heartbeat. Sporting the infamous retro look of the seventies, she was the essence of my first love and experience. Appearing to be out of her teens and accepting the next stage of life confidently, still she was probably only half my age. The vibrant femininity she exuded captured me now, just as it did nearly twenty years ago. The excitement and anticipation of seeing her out of her clothing made me hard instantly in a spontaneous reaction.
I had spent time courting her, but never as a chore for more, as teenage boys are known to do. She had all of my heart and I waited until she was ready to go further than our passion wanted us to. It was a hot summer night in the dog days and her parents were gone for the weekend. The backyard pool, that earned I sunburn for in helping with the installation, was now to be the cornerstone of my sexual experience.
Those vivid memories came rushing up again when I saw the young blond walking past with her friends. The light laughter and broad grin she flashed was the acknowledgement of interest I crave. Her low cut, loosely fitting shirt offered a glance when she leaned forward in laughter. My downfall was trying to focus on where her beautiful legs disappeared underneath that short skirt.
Turning to watch her lilting walk and losing my focus is what brought me around. At least she grinned back at me for that short moment in time that we shared, even if it was for my blushing embarrassment. I glanced back again at the blond curls bouncing away and into the crowd while I pulled my lady back against me for fun.
"Will you behave if I leave you alone for a few minutes? She chided me.
"Of course," I mused, "what trouble could I possibly get into here?"
With a soft peck on the cheek she was off toward one of the stores and having moved away from me, my erection was now glaringly obvious to others as well. Happy to see a bench willing to accommodate my wait, I took a seat and began daydreaming again.
The stars were twinkling and the moon moved in and out of a hazy night sky. Crickets were chirping, but slowly, even they were lazy in the heat. I lay back on the raft, gently rocking from the easy motion of the water and wondered what surprise she had in store for me.
Some would laugh at me for my inexperience, but I was happy to have her, even with the limited hot sexual play that didn't go quite all the way.
My eyes closed and drifting, I heard a light splash that I assumed was her getting into the pool. When I felt the water droplets run against my hot skin I knew she was playing again from the edge.
Looking up I saw her shadowed in the moonlight, shaking the water from her swimsuit; only it was in her hand. I nearly fell off the raft to see her in such full beauty, naked, more stunning than I could have imagined.
"Surprise!" was the only word she uttered and even that was nonessential.
