Katrina waded into the stream, throwing her silvery blonde hair back and loosening her corset.
The thing does wonders for my bust line, but it's so uncomfortable.
She shed the corset, tossing it to the bank. Next she freed herself of the rest of dress, and threw it aside. It had grown incredibly heavy in the water.
Now wearing only her under dress, Katrina glanced at the discarded clothing lying on the muddy bank. Her oppressive father would be angry, but she doubted he would notice, the man paid very little attention to his only daughter.
Katrina slipped straps of the cloth garment off her shoulder, and left it fall. It clung to her skin where it was wet, which was up to her belly button, but she peeled it off and stepped out of it.
Now nude, Katrina waded into deeper water. The water was cool, and a light breeze made her nipples stand on end. Sighing slightly at the pleasure, Katrina ducked her head under the water, running her fingers through her hair.
This feels so good after a hot summer day.
Katrina continued to wade in the water, then leaned backwards. She fell with a splash into the stream, and then began to float on her back, sunlight glistening off of her wet skin.
And then, suddenly, she heard voices. To her horror, Katrina realized it was two boys. Panicking Katrina did not have time to hide her discarded clothing; she only had time to hide behind some low lying tree branches. Partially hidden in the shade the branches provided, Katrina crouched on her knees, so that she was in the water up to her nose. She slowed her breathing, attempting to become as silent as possible. Her heart was pounding inside her chest, and she willed it to slow.
Now that the two boys were coming around the bend, she could recognize the two voices. One belonged to Billy Fritts, a boy of around fourteen. The other was deeper, more mature. Katrina's heart sped up as she recognized the older boy as one of her friends, Jack Wier.
Jack, being nineteen years old, was only a year older than Katrina was. She had gone to school with him, had shared amused glances and secretive inside jokes during Church services. She liked him very much, but he was just a friend, and Katrina did not want him to see her in this position. At least, that's what Katrina told herself.
"…didn't get anything. I just don't know where the good spots are this time of year," Billy was saying. They must have been fishing down stream, Katrina realized. And yes, as they came into view Katrina that they both were carrying fishing rods and tackle.
"The fish are usually in the shady spots
.
Near branches or logs that go over the water," Jack responded. Katrina gulped inwardly; she was hiding in just such a spot.
"Well, I'm not good enough of a caster. I'd get the hook stuck in a tree branch knowing my luck," Billy said. The pair of them wear walking past, hopefully Katrina's clothes would be concealed by the bank of the stream. "I'm going to go back."
"Alright, I think I might try my luck right here, that spot over there looks good," Jack was saying. Struck with fear, Katrina held her breath and with deeper under water, till only her eyes and forehead were above water.
Please go back with him, please!
"Okay, see you later," Billy said, waving and disappearing over the bank. Jack had sat down his tackle box, and was looking over something on his fishing rod. He walk over the small hump that was the bank and looked into the stream, directly towards Katrina. She leaned backwards against the steep muddy wall that was the stream bank behind her as far as she could.
Katrina suppressed a gasp as he cast his line, just six inches away from the leaves of the tree branch. He sat down at the crest of the hillock and looked upstream.
No!
He had noticed!
Jack was looking at the discarded clothing, his brow creased in a frown. "Somebody been skinny dipping?" he remarked. Katrina, was forced to rise up out of the water a bit, she hadn't realized she'd stopped breathing in her anxiety. "Those look like…"
Oh no…
"Katrina?" Jack realized. He looked up stream and down, and then his eyes fell directly on the spot where Katrina was hiding.
He knows!
Katrina saw him smirk, and then he rose to his feet and began pulling his line out of the water. He grabbed his hook, as if examining the bait.
