Pine sap, maple sausage, and that new tent smell were what I awoke to that morning. My boyfriend was busy at the grill, humming a tune from a playlist I had shared with him on our trek along the plateau.
I was shaking the dirt out of my pants while listening to his voice above the hiss of propane, the spattering of grease, and the hungry noises my stomach was making.
"Fuck it," I said, deciding it was too warm for clothes. I unzipped the tent flap and emerged in just a bra and underwear, slipping into my shoes while watching Alex cook. He was so absorbed that he didn't even notice my state of dress until I sat down in the folding chair across from him.
He glanced at me, staring for just a moment before looking back at what he was doing. Then he frowned, turning the sausages with a pair of tongs and saying nothing.
"What?" I asked, crossing my arms and legs. Alex shook his head and shrugged. The trees rustled around us as a light breeze blew over the canyon, chilling my uncovered legs. It was still morning, but the heat was already making me sweat.
He sat next to me while we ate, his eyes occasionally settling on my bare thighs and cleavage. We were both horny as hell but Alex was too focused on beating our friends to the lookout to do anything about it.
We usually followed one path, all traveling together along the ridge overlooking the riverbed until we reached the scenic point. We would stop there, eat lunch, and then turn back, it was almost a ritual.
This time Jamie and Kimber had wanted to see the canyon from a different ridge, and said they would wait at the end of their walk to see us across the gorge. That's when Alex and Jamie decided to turn it into a contest.
"Hmm, you know, we could wait a bit to get started," I said, smiling suggestively as I placed a sausage on my tongue and gazed down at his groin.
He laughed, stuffing a whole egg in his mouth and getting yolk all over his chin.
"There are no sex breaks on the road to glory Cara," he said, his mouth full, scarfing his breakfast.
"Doesn't sound very glorious," I teased, biting the sausage in half. "Come on, you wouldn't fuck me last night because you were tired. I know you want to win, but it's time to pay the penis tax good sir," I said, looking down at the growing bulge along his inner thigh.
"Cara, you know Kimber is doing this exact same thing to Jamie right now," he replied, still chewing. "Which is why we're going to get there first."
"Hah," I laughed. "You think they don't have the power of the quickie on their side?"
"Sure they do," he said, "but an ass like Kimbers must demand a lot of quickies." I smacked his arm playfully.
We cleaned off our paper plates, folded them up and put them in our garbage baggie, feeling the sun beat down on us even though it wasn't even mid-day. That's when I got an idea.
Alex was putting away his miniature grill and I was looking at the mess of clothing on the tent floor. Instead of grabbing for my tank top I reached behind myself and unclasped my bra. I felt it go slack around my chest and let it slide over my shoulders.
I tossed it on the pile of clothes and slid two thumbs under the waistband of my underwear. I heard Alex stop moving as I drew my panties down my legs, stepping out of them and flinging them into the tent with everything else.
I turned around to face him, my pink nipples and the sparse red hair above my pussy out in the open for him to admire.
Alex pursed his lips in frustration as he looked me up and down. He let out a long sigh, distractedly putting the parts of his grill in the small tin box it came in.
I planted my fists on my hips, knowing that if he got a long enough look at me he was all mine. I could feel my clit begin to stiffen and my womanhood moisten just from thinking about it. We hadn't had sex in over two days, even though he'd been squeezing my butt, kissing me, and getting me all kinds of bothered during our walk.
I thought about Kimber and Jamie hiking up the other path.
"They're probably on quickie number three by now at least," I thought.
"Sooo, you gonna go all the way to the lookout dressed like that?" Alex asked.
"Ugh!" I groaned, throwing up my hands. He burst into laughter as I turned to gather my things.
I was rolling up my sleeping mat, giving my boyfriend ample opportunity to look at my naked ass and the gap between my legs, when another thought occurred.
I shoved my clothing into my pack with everything else and brought it out of the tent, setting it on the ground.
Alex seemed to take notice as I started breaking down the tent, folding the poles and putting away the stakes, totally nude except for my shoes.
"Wait, are you actually going like that?" he asked again as he came over to help me.
"My pussy demands freedom, give me liberty or give me dick," I joked. Alex raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Well, alright then," he said, standing up, his hands going to his belt. I watched him unbuckle his jeans and pull his shirt over his head, exposing his broad shoulders and lean but muscular torso. He pulled his pants and boxers down in a single motion and his cock bounced free, already half-erect. "I guess we're hiking naked."
I bit my lower lip and felt my cheeks redden, watching Alex's penis sway as he put away his clothes. We each eyeballed each other as we finished folding up the tent completely nude.
At nearly every moment I expected fingertips to brush against skin, setting in motion a chain of events that would keep us interlocked and gasping under the sun for the next hour. Instead we just grinned in silence, catching glimpses of bare flesh as we rolled up canvas and stuffed it into tight bags.
Finally I slung my pack over my shoulders and we stared at one-another, each of us daring the other to quit the game and admit defeat. Alex looked at my tits and then his gaze drifted slowly down to my bush. I licked my lips as my eyes followed the curves of his chest muscles to his abdomen, down to his tanned and circumcised penis, his balls hanging low beneath it.
"Alright then," he said, "off we go."
I felt my heart begin to race as we walked down the narrow trail to the main path. Alex looked back at me and grinned with amusement as we emerged from the camping spot to the wider walkway.
"Oh my god, we're actually doing this," I thought, seeing him step out of the trees and out into the open. It wasn't very crowded at the park that weekend, but we always saw other hikers on these excursions. Oddly the idea of some stranger seeing us made my juices flow abundantly.
"Damn," I thought, feeling my arousal drip and stick to the insides of my legs as I lugged the heavy pack, cautiously stepping over exposed roots. "If someone sees us I hope they don't notice how wet I am."
I glanced at my boyfriend's thighs and saw his cock standing fully erect between them, swaying from side to side as he walked.
"Geez Alex," I laughed, following its bell-shaped tip with my eyes. "You should let me help you with that."
"Oh trust me, you're helping plenty," he chuckled, staring at my boobs as we stepped cautiously over up jutting rocks.
"No I mean, ugh!" I groaned, covering my nipples with my hands. His eyes drifted to my crotch. I saw veins bulge along the surface of his erection as he ogled me.
"Are you really going to keep this up the whole the way?" I asked. "Kimber's gonna see your dick you know."
"Yeah," he said, strolling casually along as the path leveled out, "and Jamie will see your tits and your naked butt and your ... sexy bikini tanned pussy," he teased.
"Good," I said. Alex grinned, showing pearly white teeth through the corner of his mouth. "You really don't care if he sees me naked?"
"I want him to see you naked," he laughed. The statement made me blush. "Then there won't be any question of who has the hotter girlfriend." I rolled my eyes. Alex wasn't really an alpha male douchebag, but he acted that way when he wanted to avoid being serious. It didn't help that it actually turned me on a little.
