My head was filled with such a buzzing of thoughts about Debbie that when we left the clearing I barely registered that we were both still completely naked - and wandering further from the safety of the house. We were walking hand-in-hand and it was only when she stopped abruptly and pointed between two trees when I really realised just how exposed we were.
"Look!" she whispered.
I peered over her shoulder, "The footpath! That's where I saw the old woman with her even older dog yesterday."
"I nearly walked right on to it," Debbie suppressed a laugh.
I felt my body shiver with a different kind of excitement, "Well, there's no one about."
She turned to me and kissed my nose, "You are terrible!"
"I mean it," I grinned.
"What if someone comes along?"
"We'd hear them ages before we saw them."
Debbie put her hand on my heart, "You're getting a kick out of that thought, aren't you?"
"Your nipples say the same thing," I grinned at her, cupping her breasts. What a difference, I thought, a day makes.
"I think, Dallas," Debbie groaned, "You'd better let go."
"Oh yes?" I squeezed gently.
She groaned louder, "Yes. If you don't I might drag you to the ground right here and who knows who might get to see?"
"Not sure I care," I laughed, "But maybe you're right. I still want to walk on the path though."
"I'm starting to feel very naked, but I'm not letting you get more than a couple of feet away. Come on then!"
I giggled as Debbie took my hand and we broke out of the trees and onto the footpath. We stopped on the rough asphalt and looked all around, the trees looming large on either side, the sun lighting up our naked bodies, the path winding away into the distance in both directions. She kissed me and then held out her arms in both directions.
"Which way, you naughty, naked lady?" She patted my belly with one hand, pulled my head close enough to give me a kiss with the other.
"Ooh, you choose. You seem to have all the right moves."
Debbie laughed and turned to face the direction that the lane would intercept a little way ahead. "Let's be bold then."
We linked hands and started to walk slowly, our ears and eyes on constant alert for human sounds, our grip on each other tightening as we began to feel more and more exposed. I could feel every pore on my skin, each and every one so very visible. The pathway curved and jinked between the leafy alders, birches and ash, and where brambles occasionally blocked the gaps between the trees our pace quickened at the lowered levels of possible retreats.
Our footsteps were accompanied by our nervous giggles and I kept steeling glances down to Debbie's incredibly perky, bare breasts, my initial light feeling of guilt quickly dispelled when I looked up and realised she was glancing at my nakedness just as often. We giggled more and I burst out laughing when she gave a mock tut and stopped, thrusting one hip sideways and her breasts forward in a deliberately brazen pose.
I leaned forward for a kiss and froze as a twig snapped in the woods away to our left. Debbie's mouth formed a perfect, shocked circle and we stared into each other's suddenly panicked eyes before grabbing hands and dashing off to our right and between the sunlit trees.
We ran forward, heedless of any sharp objects under our feet, until we could look back without seeing the pathway. Hearts pounding and (admittedly small) breasts heaving, we came to a stop behind an old birch and stared at each other, stifling giggles, and trying to listen for more noises back at, or beyond, the path.
After what must have been more than five minutes we'd heard nothing more and finally Debbie shrugged. "Squirrel or something?" she whispered.
"I guess, but it seemed very loud."
"Fox then?"
"Maybe, but anyway there's been nothing else, has there? No sounds at all."
Debbie nodded and gave another shrug, "Nothing. Except maybe my heart going pop."
"You certainly look spooked."
"Gee thanks. You look a bit ghosted yourself."
"Cute, though, right?"
Debbie snorted a quiet laugh, "Edible."
"Thanks. Think it's safe to go back to the path?"
"I think my heart might manage it. Just so long as I can keep looking at your gorgeous bod right by my side."
"Debbie, it really would be my pleasure." And I meant that in every sense.
We took a few moments more before a quick kiss had us slowly walking back to the pathway. We stopped behind the last trees and peeked out, once more all eyes and ears. My body had never felt so exposed and I adored the way that the nakedness affected me - and the way Debbie's nudity compounded all of those sensations. I was suddenly eager to step out of our hiding place and somehow felt my friend's keenness alongside me. I took her willing hand in mine and stepped around the tree and onto the warm asphalt.
As the sun washed over my naked body I almost gasped in delighted exposure, a pleasure that was multiplied a hundred-fold as I looked across at Debbie and her gorgeous nakedness. Her smile told me that she was as happy as I felt.
"Dallas?" she said, quietly, "What would have happened if that really had been a person?"
My eyes widened at the thought but I couldn't work our whether it was fear or excitement. In a weird way I wanted a clue from Debbie. "It's a wild thought, isn't it?"
Her lips twitched and I guessed she was feeling much the same as I was, "I'd never thought about really being caught even playing before... but this? So exposed, but with someone I... I love? It's all so new but... it excites me."
"Me too," I said gratefully. I stood straighter, somehow more naked but more proud, and I held out my hand, nodding to the pathway beside us, "Shall we?"
Debbie chuckled quietly. She took my hand and nodded, "Yeah, let's. But all this doesn't mean we stop looking and listening, right?"
"Too damned right. I don't intend to let anyone see us, no matter that the idea might excite in such a naughty way." I turned and started walking, Debbie falling into step beside me.
