Jade - Are you ready? I'll be there to pick you up in 5.
The text was from my friend and newfound lover, Jade. We were going camping for the long weekend. I was her first stop, and then we were off to pick up her boyfriend Ben from work as he was just off the highway on the way out of town.
Me - Almost finished packing. I'll be ready when you get here.
I didn't really have that much to throw together. Just a few changes of clothes, bathroom stuff, food and a few bottles of wine. It was a pretty simple trip that we had planned. Mostly hanging out at the campsite drinking or laying on the lakeside beach a few minutes walk away. The two of them had gone the year before without me and they said that's basically all they did. I got my bags together and sat on the couch waiting for the next text to tell me about her arrival.
However, after a few minutes, I heard my door open and turned to see Jade walking in. Every time I saw her, I was struck by how beautiful she was. That long dark hair on her slender, athletic body...I was getting chills just imagining how the last few weeks had developed. She was introducing me to fun I hadn't imagined before, and I found myself agreeing to basically anything she wanted. It was so far turning out to be a perfect relationship.
"So, what's with all the bags?" she asked, without a hello, or anything else first.
"Huh?" I replied. "Um, the usual? Food, booze, clothes..."
"Oh yeah? Which one has the clothes?" she responded, more sharply than I had expected.
"That one," I said, pointing to my black duffel bag, "but,"
She cut me off forcefully, "Really? Hmmm...good thing I came in then, that's a lot of room to pack a bikini in, wouldn't you say?"
Fuck. Fuck. I thought I was ok. I didn't think she'd take it this far. I explained hurriedly, "No no, the bikini's in there, I just made sure I had something else for when it's cold, or wet, or... or... whatever, you know?"
Jade just stared at me and slowly shook her head. She was a few inches taller than me and so was looking slightly down at me. "That wasn't the deal. Have you stopped listening already? Or wasn't I clear enough? The only thing you're wearing is that swimsuit, for the entire time that we're down there. Nothing, and I mean nothing else that counts as clothing is coming with you."
Damn it, I did not want to be strutting around in just that skimpy swimsuit for the entire trip, but neither did I want to disobey Jade. She had done so much to bring me out of my shell this far and to give me some of the greatest sexual experiences I could have imagined. But really, she expected me to spend three days in front of her, her boyfriend, and whoever the hell passed by us in that tiny bikini? Fuck that. "Um, no fucking way. I'm dressing however I want!" I said right out.
