Underground Love

Underground Love

"Ok, listen up guys. Can I have your full attention please - this is very important."

Everyone crowded around the young man with the silly haircut standing on the bench.

"Jeff, who you booked with, has called in sick today."

There was a collective sigh from the group and some conferring.

"I'm going to take both groups. It will mean we will have to keep close, but I'm sure we'll be absolutely fine. If anyone doesn't want to carry on, they will get a full refund or an alternative date of their choice."

They all watched as an older couple left and walked back to the car park. Callum then went around handing out the safety gear. Everyone was given a helmet with a torch on top, and a pair of old overalls to fit over their normal clothes.

"Anyone nervous about confined spaces?" He asked.

Pete considered putting up a hand, but seeing as everyone else was looking around to see who was a wimp, he kept it firmly by his side.

"Hi there."

Pete looked to his side to see the young woman he'd just parked next to.

"Hey." He said.

"You didn't want to put your hand up then?" She asked.

"Why? There's no problem." He replied a little defensively.

"I saw you sitting in your car, and you looked somewhat apprehensive."

"Thanks, I'll be fine."

He then moved closer to listen to the safety briefing.

The group took their turn to climb into the small cave opening. Pete held back watching everyone disappear underground.

"You don't have to go you know."

Pete looked around and saw the young woman again.

"It's Emma by the way." She said smiling.

"Pete." He paused and looked at the hole in the side of the hill side. "I need to do this." He said his voice shaking slightly.

"Ok, well lets' do it together. To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure why I'm here."

He smiled and got a lovely smile in return.

"After you." She said.

They followed the group along a dark and damp network of natural tunnels. After five minutes Callum called them to gather around him. He then gave an abbreviated history of the origins of the caves. As he was coming to the end he asked everyone to switch their head torches off. Pete felt his heartbeat rising as each light went out and it got darker and darker. In the end it was just his light bouncing off the cave walls. Emma grabbed his hand tight and reached up to switch off his light.

Everyone gasped at the sudden and total darkness. You couldn't see your own finger an inch away from your face.

"Ok, everyone - light's back on and follow me." Callum said to the group.

Pete stood there shaking. Emma kept a hold of his hand;

"Stay with me yeah?"

He nodded and followed a pace behind her. As they progressed further and further into the cave complex the headroom got tighter and tighter. Sometimes they had to lie on the floor and shimmy under the low rock to get to the next chamber.

"What the fuck am I doing?" Pete said at a particularly sketchy bit.

"Your doing great Pete. Most of the chaps I went to university with would be crapping themselves by now."

"Thanks."

They both edged their way through the next section. Pete had a bit of a moment that took Emma a few minutes to get him over. Finally they emerged into a garage size space - and no one was there.

"What the fuck?" Pete said squeezing Emma's hand tighter.

"Relax." Emma said, feeling her own heart begin to race. She continued; "Now I'm going to shout for the others Ok?"

Pete nodded.

"HEY! GUYS! HELP!" She shouted at the top of her voice. Rather than echo, her voice seemed to just rebound off of the walls around them.

She tried again and again over the next five minutes. She could feel Pete getting more and more anxious.

"Right, this is what we're going to do." She said calmly. "We'll sit here quietly have a chat and they'll soon come back when they realise they are two people short. Ok?"

"Ok."

They both sat on the damp cold floor and held their knees in their arms. After five minutes they both started getting agitated.

"Right - what music do you like?" Emma said in her most upbeat voice.

"Heavy metal." Pete replied.

"Ah, I don't know much metal. Europe?

Pete just gave her a look.

"I love Rhythm and Blues myself."

"Nice." He said sarcastically.

"What do you think of the new government?"

"I don't discuss politics with strangers."

"Oh, god, you're not far right are you?"

"See, this is why I don't discuss politics. I'm not far right, but if I was, or anything directly opposite your persuasion, whatever that is, we would now be having an argument, in a confined space."

Emma tried unsuccessfully to stifle a laugh.

"This is not funny!" Pete said loudly.

Emma then pissed herself laughing. Pete eventually caved in (pardon the pun) and joined her.

"Right, ok. Not politics then." She said once she'd calmed down. "Where do you like to holiday? Here? Abroad?"

"The Greek Islands." He replied.

"Thank heavens for that." She said excitedly. "How many times have you been, which ones? I've only been to Corfu but I absolutely loved it."

Pete spent the next twenty minutes giving Emma a virtual tour of Greece's larger Islands. It turned out he had relatives on Kos and he would use that every year as a springboard to explore.

After he'd exhausted his repertoire he went very quiet.

"Are they coming back?"

"They will eventually, but when I don't know." She replied as a shiver went down her spine. She then felt him move closer and he put an arm around her shoulders.

"About the only thing I'm useful for is body warmth." He said dejectedly.

"Well, I'm very happy for it." And she snuggled into his chest.

After another quiet ten minutes Pete spoke: "Do you think we should switch these lights off to save power?"

"That is a very good idea. It's not like we need to use them sat on our arses is it?" Emma replied.

They both looked at each other as they clicked their lights off. They sat in total darkness for thirty seconds before Pete spoke;

"Sex."

"Oh, go on then you old romantic." Emma said before laughing out loud.

"No, come on. I'll tell you something, and then you can tell me something."

"Err, ok." Emma replied nervously.

"Right, my first sexual experience." Pete said.

"Go on then."

"It was in the back of my girlfriend's parent's car. They were in the front seats at the time."

"You are shitting me?"

"No, I shit you not. I'd just spent the weekend at her place. I lived ten miles away and I'd cycled over to see her. Come Sunday night, her parents offered to take me back in the car. Obviously I agreed because it meant spending a little longer with my girlfriend. We were both in the backseat. It was dark. There was a travel blanket in the back and my girlfriend pulled it over our laps.

"And? And?"

"Well, you know. She was wearing a skirt. Obviously we were madly in love and had our arms around each other. My hand then moved further down until it rested on her bottom. I should explain we'd only kissed before this point. She didn't move my hand so I went a little lower. I then found the slit in the back of her skirt. I was delighted to feel it had ridden up so I could then feel the top of her bare thigh. Still she looked ahead and made conversation with her parents. I started feeling brave so I moved my fingers higher. My heart was jumping out of my chest by now.

"Were you hard?"

"Fuck me, was I hard!"

"Please continue." Emma said fidgeting slightly.

"I then felt the material of her knickers. I really thought this was where I would be stopped. Still she chatted with her mum about some such like. I spent a little while stroking over the gusset of her knickers. I could feel her pushing against my hand. I could see we only had a few miles left to cover so I then deftly snaked a finger under the gusset to be rewarded with my first wet pussy.

"Fucking hell Pete."

"I know, it was magical. I quickly added another finger and spent the next five minutes in pure rapture as I fingered her super wet pussy."

"Phew!" Emma said.

"Right, your go."

"Err, not sure I can compete with that." She paused for a moment. "I tell you what, I'll skip over the first time - that was a non starter and tell you about the second."

"I'm all ears."

"Well it was with Lucy Baker."

"You're not serious? Oh, I'm sorry you're not a lesbian are you? How thoughtless of me."

"No, no, I'm not a lesbian. But you know, when needs must..."

"Indeed, indeed."

"Lucy may well have gone down that route, I don't know, but we shared a memorable afternoon in the woods together that day."

"Please go on." Pete said holding his hard on through his trousers.

"We'd fooled around a bit before; you know grabbing each others bottoms or pulling the other one's knickers down in public."

"I know, I know."

"Well, we were supposed to be collecting test samples for our exams but the sun was out, our bodies were hot, and we were young."

"You're still young."

"Yes. Lucy made the first move. She said we should play a game of dare. I'd never played such a game but I agreed, not wanting to sound immature. I mean we were eighteen for fucks sake."

"What happened?"

"We kissed, that's what happened. We kissed for god knows how long. Tongues and all. Well, we were both getting hot in every sense."

"Please tell me you fingered each other." Pete said quietly in her ear.

Emma looked at him, even though she couldn't see a thing;

"Yes, we fingered each other long story short."

"Fuck Emma. Were you both wet?"

"Oh, yes, you know at that age your bodies are alive with sexual receptors. We were very sticky indeed."

Pete then laughed.

"What?"

"Sorry, I just can't believe that when I woke up this morning, I'd end the day sat several metres underground with a pretty young woman nursing a hard on."

"Are you hard now?"

"Oh yes. I can picture the two of you exploring your bodies perfectly. Maybe the total darkness makes it more real?"

"Maybe." She said.

"I don't suppose..?" Pete said quietly.

"What, that I'm wet?"

"Sorry, that was over the line." Pete said regretting his words.

"I'll let you know when you're over the line. Tell me about the day you lost your virginity."

"Ok, it was at a party. I bumped into an old girlfriend there. We chatted and laughed. Neither of us could remember why we'd split up in the first place. After a few more drinks she started really flirting with me. We then started snogging on the sofa, totally ignoring everyone else in the room. Then some knob walked past and said 'get a room you two'. Rachel, for that was her name looked at me and raised her eyes towards the ceiling.

So we made our way upstairs. The first bedroom we tried we walked in on a woman giving a man a blow job.

"Easily done."

"We eventually find a room, and it had a lock."

"Nice."

"We had been to first base before but no further. She wasn't a virgin, but knew full well I was. We left the lights off but the curtains were open so quite a bit of light filled the room. She then undressed in front of me. I quickly copied her and she then dropped to her knees and took me in her mouth.

"Goodness."

"Yes, that's what I said, or words to that effect. Anyway, she was going to make me pop so I pulled her away. She then pushed me back on the bed and took a condom from her jeans pocket on the floor. She smiled as she held my hard cock and rolled the rubber down. She then climbed on top of me and then sank down in one swift movement."

"How long did you last?"

"Not long, but just long enough to have lost my cherry."

"Wow, intense."

"Yeah, it was. Now your go."

Emma hesitated for a while.

"Ok, I won't discuss the first time, but the second was rather fun."

"Ok." Pete said, not wanting to pursue any line of enquiry.

"I lost my virginity in a foursome."

"Get out of here."

"Err, would if I could." She said before going on;

"It wasn't a real foursome, like where everyone fucks each other, but two couples having sex in the same room. There were two single beds in the room. I had one with my boyfriend and Kate had the other. We were all just fooling around at first, and then things quickly got out of hand."

"Were you daring each other?"

"I suppose we were, but we didn't talk or anything. We just watched what the other couple was doing and tried to up the ante I guess. Before you know it me and my friend are bouncing up and down on hard cocks."

"That's mental Emma."

"Yeah, it was looking back now. How about we play you show me yours and I'll show mine."

"Are you serious?"

"How old are you Pete?"

"Twenty-six."

"And have you got a girlfriend?"

"No."

"Right, I'm twenty-three. Don't you think two grown adults can show each other their genitals?"

"When you put it like that." Pete then pulled his arm away from her and undid his trousers.

Emma listened closely and quickly did the same. Within a few seconds they both had their trousers down.

"Lights on?" Pete said enthusiastically.

"Have you got your underwear down?" Emma asked.

Pete shifted on the spot. "I have now."

"Ok, lights on."

They both blinked into the light without seeing anything. Soon their eyes gradually got accustomed to the light. Emma looked across at Pete's lap. Her head torch lit up a good sized hard cock jutting up from his groin. Pete looked across at Emma. He saw her knickers around the top of her thighs and the first thing he noticed was the damp patch in the gusset illuminated by his torch. He then moved his head so he could get a good look at her.

"Unfortunately you've caught me on no mow May." Emma said a little worried about the amount of pubes on show.

"It looks beautiful to me as it is."

"Lights back off?" Emma said suddenly feeling a little too exposed.

"Ok." Pete said clicking his off.

Emma shut hers off and they sat in silence again.

"Have you got a boyfriend Emma?"

She laughed; "If I did, I'm not sure how he'd feel about me showing you my pussy after I'd known you for like two hours."

"So you haven't?"

"Sadly there is no man waiting for me, if ever I get home."

"But, and I don't want to sound corny, you're quite hot you know."

"Only quite hot." She teased.

"Well, I don't want to come across as a predatory male, you know."

"I don't think you are a predatory male. If you were, I wouldn't have had to nurse you for the last two hours."

"That's below the belt." He said playfully poking her in her tummy.

"Only quite hot." She repeated.

"Can we put the lights back on please?" He whispered.

There was a pause before Emma switched her light on. She then looked down at her self. She put her hands to her sex and pulled apart her labia. Pete put his light on and looked closely.

"You're absolutely beautiful Emma." Pete said with feeling.

"She's not bad as genitals go I think."

"Understatement of the century." Pete said.

"Well, why haven't I got anyone to share it with?" Emma said her voice breaking.

Just then they both heard a voice. They both pulled up their trousers and underwear and listened.

"Hello?" They heard someone calling in the distance.

"Over here!" They both shouted in unison.

They soon saw lights darting about under the shelf of rock.

"Thank god." Pete said gripping Emma's hand tight.

Two people they didn't recognise wearing proper climbing gear emerged from the crack in the rock.

"I'm so pleased to see you two." The first man said.

"I was going to say that." Pete said smiling.

The two rescuers asked if they were hurt before they then took their time and guided Pete and Emma out of the cave. Twenty minutes later they emerged from the cave opening to see flood light's everywhere. They were ushered over to a waiting ambulance and taken inside. The medics quickly checked them over, and realising they were actually ok, draped blankets around their shoulders. Soon two mugs of tea arrived.

"Thanks, in there, you know. I can't imagine going through that alone, or with anyone else really." Pete said giving her shoulder a nudge with his.

"My pleasure." Emma said thinking of her warm bed and that she'd soon be able to play with herself.

They finished their drinks and they found themselves alone.

"Do you think I could see you again?" Pete said.

He watched Emma as she seemed to wrestle with something in her head.

"It's no problem; I don't want to push..." He said trying to reassure her.

"I lied."

"I'm sorry?"

"I lied about my sexual exploits. It seems ridiculous now. I feel ridiculous now."

"It doesn't matter, we all embellish stories a bit I'm sure."

"You don't understand. I haven't had sex. Well, the first time, yes, but I don't count that."

"But you're great. You're kind, gentle, caring..."

"And two stone overweight."

"Excuse me, I haven't finished, I was going to say I think you are extremely attractive. Any man would be so lucky to be your partner."

Just at that moment the ambulance rear doors opened.

"Oh, honey!"

An older woman got in and hugged Emma tightly.

"We were all so worried love. Are you ok? What were you thinking? Potholing? Have you lost your mind?"

The woman then proceeded to guide Emma away from the ambulance into the darkness. Pete stared as she left and was rewarded by a smile when Emma briefly looked around.

-----------------------------

Pete then spent all of his free time over the next week visiting all of the Pharmacies in the area. He was sure she had mentioned she worked in one, but now he was beginning to wonder if he'd imagined it. The company running the potholing trip were very apologetic (Especially considering the circumstances) but they wouldn't give him any of Emma's details. All he had was a small photo of her from the local newspaper. He sat down on a bench with his head in his hands; he'd just tried the last Pharmacy in the town he'd visited that day. He then looked up;

He recognised her immediately. Although they had known each other for a few hours, he realised they'd probably only spent minutes together in the light of day. He watched her as she got closer. She was in her work uniform - a smart navy blue outfit that showed her curves wonderfully. He actually let her walk past him so he could see her full bottom in her tight skirt.

"Emma." He called out to her.

She stopped and froze. She then slowly turned around.

"Hey." Pete said smiling.

"Err, hey. What are you doing here? You live in Exeter don't you?"

"How have you been?"

"Oh, you know. A bit deflated after the excitement of last week."

"Yes, listen. I was wondering if we could grab a coffee or something."

"Sure, I get off at five. Meet you here then?"

"Great."

He watched her as she made her way into her shop. He thought he could imagine her smiling as she walked, but... He spent the next couple of hours wandering aimlessly around the shops. He kept looking at his watch, willing the time to pass. Eventually the time came up;

She gave him a beaming smile when she walked up to him.

"Where do you suggest?" Pete said.

"Well, we might as well save our pennies and go to mine. I only live a short walk away."

Pete quickly agreed. As they started walking Emma spoke;

"What are you really doing here?"

"I'm here for you."

Emma stopped dead. She looked at him and she could feel her eyes glassing over.

"Please hold me." Pete said.

She went in and hugged him tight. She then looked up at him. He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Come on." She said and she held out a hand for him.

He grasped her hand in his and they walked a little faster. Once they got to Emma's flat she opened the front door then stopped.

"Can we go slowly?"

Pete nodded; "Of course."

They both walked inside and she closed the door.
