Ch. 02: The Porch
After Salena left, and I'd run to my backyard and closed the gate, I was so excited that I couldn't breathe.
Standing just behind the gate, I stroked and pounded myself furiously, replaying what had just happened over in my mind.
I'd been sunbathing nude in my backyard and had fallen asleep. After a sex dream about Salena, I'd awakened with such an erection that I had no other choice but to take care of it right then and there.
But I was unaware that Salena was standing at my front door until she called my name.
Coming 'round the back, she'd pushed through the gate and all but caught me with cock in hand.
Now, however, with my naked back pressed against the rough wood of the gate, I turned the bottle of suntan oil upside down and poured all over my erection...and stroked myself fast.
In her short-shorts and cut-off tshirt, Salena had looked like some sort of gorgeous sex-angel as she stood there teasing me about "playing with myself." She'd caught me and she knew it, as I hunched over in the lounge, trying to hide myself with the ridiculously tiny towel.
Drawing me out into the front yard to take a look at her car, I'd fixed the problem...eventually losing my towel completely and standing naked and hard in front of her.
I'd never been naked in front of her or in my front yard before.
After Salena left, I was unable to stop myself from masturbating in the front yard in full view of the road, and was nearly caught by the woman across the street.
Now, in the backyard again, I finished what I'd originally started before Salena showed up...pounding my cock to orgasm and spilling it all over the grass.
A few days later, I was at home in the evening when the phone rang.
It was Salena.
I hadn't seen her since the incident in the front yard. She'd missed a few classes at the college.
Apparently, she'd decided to be "on" with Jess, and they'd left town for a couple of days. Now though, judging by the call, they were "off" again.
"Hey," I heard Salena's sweet voice over the line, "can you come over?"
"Sure dear," I said, pushing the picture of the front yard from my mind. "You okay?"
After a moment of silence, she sighed. "Yeah, I'm okay...but I'm really behind on homework. I was hoping you could help me."
"Of course hun," I said. "I'll be right there."
On the short, five-block walk to Salena's house, I thought about the other day in the front yard. She hadn't said anything about as of yet. I wondered when she would, or whether I should bring it up. As exciting as it had been, I was kind of embarrassed about it.
Salena lived in an old Victorian with a covered porch that faced the street.
Pushing through the picket gate, I walked up the path to find her sitting with her beautiful, dark legs tucked under her on a worn, green couch, sipping from a can of beer. There were several empties stacked carefully on the porch in front of her.
"Hey," I said, plopping down next to her.
"Hey," she returned, revealing her perfectly polished teeth in a smile that never failed to knock me off my feet.
She'd pulled her dark tresses back into a single ponytail that fell behind her, running the length of her back...leaving a few strands hanging around her face. As always, she was gorgeously disheveled.
"Wanna beer?" she said, reaching into the cooler next to her end of the couch.
Taking the cold beer, I popped the lid and sipped from it, tasting the bitter liquid as it went down.
"I thought we were here to do homework?" I joked, wiping my lips with the back of my hand, noticing the way her low-cut t-shirt hugged her breasts, and how the sweat on her skin beaded above her cleavage.
It was just after sunset, though not totally dark and still pretty warm. It was going to be a muggy night.
"Jess is such an ass," she said, out of nowhere, pulling from her own beer.
I frowned. I hated Jess.
"What happened?"
"Well, he promised this time that he was going to change...you know, stop drinking so much, spend more time with our daughter, and so on..."
"So, basically...same old story?" I said, already knowing that it was.
"Yeah, two days after that he got drunk, screamed at me, and our daughter, and took off. All over some stupid thing about car insurance...or something...hell, I don't' really know..."
Salena stared straight ahead, out into the evening as she dropped into silence.
"Fuck." I exhaled.
We sat quietly as I finished my beer.
Jess was an asshole...an immature young drunk who wouldn't know a good thing if it bit his fucking cock off.
I could not understand how he could treat someone like Salena so badly. She was beautiful and intelligent, and had a genuine heart of gold. She was so caring about everyone, and often went far out her way to help anyone who needed it.
Such a gentle soul, Salena was one of the kindest people I'd ever known. She deserved so much better.
And I would have pulled the stars from the sky for her if she'd but said that she wanted them. I would have treated her like a goddess. I would have loved her the way she deserved to be loved. I would have done anything for her.
But that could never happen, and it killed me.
She loved Jess for some reason that I could not begin to fathom and refused to give him up.
Personally, I would have had no qualms about breaking every bone in his worthless body.
Suddenly, Salena turned her gorgeous gaze on me and smiled.
"So, that was pretty awesome the other day huh? Did you like it?"
She was talking about my nudity in the front yard. I nearly dropped my beer can.
"Uhm...I..." I stammered, caught off-guard. Salena had a way of doing that to me. I figured that the subject would come up again...I just hadn't expected it right there and then...so totally of the blue.
"Hey, you're blushing," she said. "You're so cute when you're embarrassed." Pulling at a strand of stray hair that had managed to escape her ponytail, she cocked her head slightly and grinned at me, twirling it through her fingers.
Her blue eyes pierced me.
"Well, I uh," I continued to stammer like a blubbering idiot, "I mean,"
"Oh Rick," she said, chiding me, rolling her eyes, "you liked it...it was so obvious." As usual, Salena had come to my rescue, finishing with a giggle.
"It's just that you were in a hurry, and I didn't mean for my towel to come off...I would have put pants on or something...Salena..."
"Hey, it's okay honey," she laughed. "We're friends here. I liked it too. If I hadn't, I would have said something...." With that, she graced me with one of her heart-melting smiles.
I thought about it a moment, She was right. If she'd have had a problem with my nudity she would have said something. Salena was direct like that.
It was getting darker by then, and the mugginess was setting in as the crickets took up their songs.
"''Nother beer?" she said, already reaching into the cooler.
Grateful for the distraction, I took it from her, opening it and pulling from it in a single motion.
"So you like walking around naked outside then?" Salena prodded.
I was silent. I had no idea what to say.
"You don't have to be embarrassed Rick," Salena said, growing more serious. "It's normal you know."
"It is?"
"Heck yes," she explained, "lots of people like stuff like that. For example, I find doing it in places where you could get caught a turn on."
"You mean, like in public?" I said, genuinely curious. This wasn't the first time we'd talked about sex, but it was a more familiar subject; therefore, more comfortable ground for me.
Salena grinned again.
"Well, no not necessarily just in public," she said. "What I mean is that I find the possibility of getting caught a turn on. Like for example, when Jess and I first got together, we did it at his mom's house in the kitchen while she had company in the living room."
The idea of Jess touching her was angering...but the concept of what she was telling me was hot.
I felt a rise in my jeans, picturing it.
"Did you get caught?" I said, now fascinated.
"Almost," she laughed. "His mom got up to come in the kitchen just as we were about to finish, so we had to hurry...it was very exciting."
The word "exciting" hung in the air as Salena finished, smiling at me.
I thought about the incident in the front yard a few days before, and how the lady across the street could have...no, would have caught me...had she merely turned her head.
I understood.
"So, like the other day in the yard," I started, treading carefully. "I was standing there naked, and the lady across the street came home."
"Yes," Salena said simply.
I was silent.
"Exactly," she finished for me. "You were naked in your front yard where you could have been caught, then that lady came home and could have seen you...that was hot."
I remembered how Salena had pressed her bare thigh into mine at the front of the car, making me harder, causing my towel slip further. She'd done it on purpose. She had been trying to make me lose control in my front yard...hoping that'd I'd get caught.
It was all so clear now...I understood, and my cock stirred again.
"Wow," I said, kind of impressed.
"Yup." Salena smiled, as if reading my mind.
We fell silent again.
"Rick?" she said after a few moments, looking at me with an expression that was unfamiliar to me.
"Yah?"
"Would you take off all of your clothes right now?"
Her question was like a brick in the face. I hadn't expected anything like that. It knocked me back...but then, Salena was so good at that.
"I, uhm...you mean like, right here? Now?" I said, kind of shocked, but toying with idea nevertheless.
"Yeah," she said as if it were nothing more than asking me to hand her a beer.
