Chapter 1
Joe was really looking forward to today, as he'd been working twelve days straight, but finally he had his first day off where he could do anything that pleased him.
He couldn't have picked a nicer day, as it was the end of July, the temperature was warm but comfortable, and there wasn't a cloud in the dazzling blue sky. At an elevation close to ten thousand feet, the air Joe breathed was clean and fresh which contributed to the unique blueness of the sky.
After Labor Day he would be returning to Stanford University, where he was majoring in Electrical Engineering. Joe had accepted a twelve-week summer job working as a Camp Helper at Vogelsang High Sierra Camp in Yosemite National Park. The camp was located in the high country of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, six miles from the nearest road. Majestic granite peaks surrounded the camp. Just below the camp there were several lush green meadows and alpine lakes, which had been carved out of the bedrock by ancient glaciers.
The camp consisted of ten guest tent cabins, three employee tent cabins, and one permanent building where the kitchen and dining room were located. There was also a combination bathroom/shower house and a wooden shed to store the linens and cleaning supplies. Food and supplies were brought in three times a week on a pack mule train that came from Tuolumne Meadows, which was seven miles away.
For his day off Joe decided to do some fishing and swimming at a nearby pond that's not on any official Yosemite map. Only the Vogelsang employees knew the location, and they thought of it as their private sanctuary to party, or just relax. The employees had been fishing and skinny-dipping at this spot for years, and they affectionately named it Grumble Pond.
Joe was looking forward to a day of relaxation, but what he was really looking forward to was some private time to take care of a personal matter. He hadn't had an orgasm in two weeks, and he was feeling very unsettled, like something didn't feel right with his body...ok, to be more precise... he was horny as hell! And he knew that his relief would only come when he could jack off and shoot a big load of his creamy spunk! Since he shared his tent cabin with two male coworkers, there weren't many opportunities to satisfy this primal need.
Joe took a few seconds to choose the things he'd need for the day. He stuffed a small picnic blanket into the main pocket of his daypack, and he put a tube of sunscreen and a spray can of mosquito repellant into one of the side pockets. For lunch he had two ham-and-cheese sandwiches and a bag of potato chips, along with two bottles of water and two granola bars. In another pocket he stored his Swiss army knife and his telescoping selfie stick, as well as a small plastic container that held his fishing lures and extra fishing line. In the other side pocket he packed a tube of personal lubricant and some wet wipes for cleaning up the mess after he finished masturbating.
He was wearing khaki hiking shorts and a blue "Go Climb a Rock" t-shirt that he'd purchased at the Mountain Shop in Yosemite Valley. To protect his face from the high country sun he was sporting a San Francisco Giants baseball cap, which covered his strawberry blonde hair. He deliberately decided to not bring a swimsuit, as he expected to have Grumble Pond all to himself. He enjoyed the feeling of freedom that he got when swimming nude outdoors. He dropped his cell phone into one of the pockets of his hiking shorts, swung his pack over his shoulder, grabbed his fishing pole, and headed towards the kitchen to let his coworkers know he was leaving for the day.
One of his coworkers named Tina was in the kitchen, finishing up the breakfast dishes. Joe had only known Tina for two weeks but he knew from the start that he was very attracted to her. He thought she was a sweet girl but also a cutie pie. But to Joe she wasn't just cute...Tina was fucking sexy too! When he allowed himself to think about her he realized that he had a serious crush on her. She had a delightful sense of humor that he found endearing, especially when she teased him. He enjoyed flirting with her when they were alone together.
Joe thought about Tina a lot, which always made him feel happy and brought a silly grin to his face. He also found himself dreaming about Tina in his sleep on a few occasions, and he would wake up sporting a throbbing erection that demanded his attention.
Unfortunately, there was nothing Joe could do to remedy this problem due to his roommate situation. He found himself feeling more and more frustrated with each day that passed.
Tina liked Joe too, but she wasn't at the point where she was comfortable sharing her feelings with him. Joe was a great guy, and she felt comfortable being around him and talking to him at the nightly campfire. He was smart and good looking, but he wasn't full of himself like a lot of the guys who attended prestigious universities... and he wasn't hard to look at either! He was four inches taller than her, with a nicely toned body and some well-defined muscles in his upper arms and legs. She loved the look of his firm round ass, and she felt embarrassed when she would fantasize about touching it with both of her hands!
She tried to give him subtle hints that she was interested in him, going out of her way to give him a warm smile whenever she greeted him. She also enjoyed teasing him playfully, by wearing a top that was a little too tight, or some short shorts that left little to the imagination. Joe tried to be discreet when looking at Tina's firm young tits and ass, but sometimes his animal instincts got the better of him and he stared at her with his mouth wide open. Tina pretended not to notice this, but she did enjoy the attention. Occasionally her eyes would drift down to his crotch and she noticed there was a definite bulge after she'd flirted with Joe. The attraction Joe and Tina felt for each other was obvious to the other workers at Vogelsang.
When Joe entered the kitchen he looked into her beautiful blue-green eyes and grinned at her.
"Hey Tina, how's it going? You aren't working too hard, I hope?"
She quickly dried her hands on a towel, pulled her auburn colored hair away from her face and returned his smile.
"Hi Joe. I'm doing really good, and no, I'm not working too hard, but thank you for asking."
She walked up to him and stood by his side, and then looked him in the eye.
"So, what do you have planned for your big day off?"
Joe just stared back at her, unable to come up with a witty reply. He knew he couldn't tell her about his plans to masturbate. It took a few seconds to answer.
"Oh, I thought I'd go down to the Pond and do some fishing, and swimming if the weather stays nice, and if I don't catch anything that's ok too. I just want to relax and enjoy some 'Joe' time."
