I pull up to your work and sit outside, leaning against the hood of the car, legs crossed at the ankles, short, black silk dress whipping lightly back and forth against my thighs. My black leather work boots look completely out of place and your co-workers look at me strangely as they go past. You come out grinning broadly, crossing the parking lot to take me in your arms. But instead of falling into your embrace as I usually do, I step quickly away and over to the driver's side. You shrug and, climbing in, notice all the camping gear in the back seat; a cooler, a tent, a single large sleeping bag, and some firewood. The grin reappears on your face and you peer across at me. "what have you got planned?"
I smile at you and then look forward, starting the car and putting it into gear as you fold yourself into the seat beside me. "Not going to tell me, huh?" I shake my head and look mutely over at you, seeing the way your eyes follow the curve of my breasts in the tight black sheath, eye the hem of the dress, calculating how far up it needs to slide to be indecent. As my hand moves back and forth between the shifter and the wheel, that small action causes the hem to move, a centimeter at a time, but enough to keep your interest.
We reach the town line, engine tagging fifty, windows down and our hair lashing our cheeks. Your hand reaches out tentatively and settles on my nearly bare thigh, I place my free hand over it, holding it. Twisting our way up into the mountains, you keep trying to move your hand, gently, to move the hem of the dress up that final two inches or so and I manage to keep you from doing so. I wouldn't want to be so distracted that I drove us off the road.
The car slows and then goes down into a culvert, the car jouncing and your hand moves from my thigh up to the dashboard to keep you from feeling as if you're about to go through the window. On the other side of the ditch is a tiny road, more of a path, and I carefully guide the car down it, moving slowly and carefully. It is uphill most of the way, and then suddenly a meadow springs out of the trees. There is a small fire pit near the edge, and I park the car next to it, climbing out and stretching up on my tiptoes. You come around behind me and kiss the back of my neck, wrapping your strong arms around me and holding me close. I relax into your arms. "Like it?" I ask, putting my arms back up over your neck. Nearby, you can hear the burbling of a small stream.
"I love it," you whisper in my ear, kissing gently at the hairline. " I love you."
I smile and extract myself from your embrace, move over and begin pulling the cooler, tent and bags out. "I thought you might need a break."
Together, we set up the tent, and as you unfold and zip the sleeping bag inside, you look rather lasciviously at me. You sit on the bag and pat the spot beside you. "Care to join me?"
I smile and lean into the tent to kiss you. "Nope. I want to go for a swim." I back swiftly out before you can get a proper hold on me and go to the car again, grabbing an extra blanket and heading toward the stream. I stop at the edge of the encampment and turn around to watch you climb out of the tent, pulling my feet up and removing my shoes one at a time. "Will you look in the cooler and see if you can find something to eat? Maybe build a fire? I'm gonna be cold after swimming in that stream."
"Of course," you say and set about doing as I had asked. But out of the corner of your eye, you see me reach for the hem of my dress, and you do really want to know what I'm wearing underneath. You grab some firewood and begin stacking it in the firepit as I pull the silk up over my head. Draping the dress over a nearby branch, I turn toward the stream and behind me I hear firewood spill from your grasp as you realize I am totally naked, my form retreating from you through a screen of branches. I was naked all that distance up here, and if you had known, I never would have gotten away from you as easily as I did in the tent. I smile to myself and saunter off toward the tiny, cold mountain stream.
