As I reach the bridge, I can already see her waiting for me by the rocky stream below. I slow my pace and catch my breath. She's leaning against a tree, looking at her phone impatiently. Her navy dress is blowing softly in the breeze. It's tight in all the right places and tumbles gracefully over her tiny hips. She looks up and catches my eye, and my heart jumps into my throat. I hurry down the muddy footpath so carelessly I nearly slip and fall. She's grinning and laughing at me.
"What kept you?"
Her eyes are smiling, but there's a sharpness in her voice. I reach into my pocket and pull out a chocolate bar. It's melted in the heat, but she still smiles appreciatively when I give it to her.
"Sorry I'm so late."
"You'd better be." Her voice is an uncharacteristic deep growl and she narrows her eyes playfully. "I've been here nearly half an hour."
"I'll make it up to you?"
She lets the chocolate bar slip through her fingers onto the crunchy autumn leaves, and takes a firm grip on my wrist. She guides my hand over the buttons on her chest, lightly brushing her nipples through the soft cotton, and drags my fingertips down over her hips to the smooth, warm flesh of her thigh. With a self-conscious giggle, she pulls my hand towards her crotch, and my fingers close around something cool, soft and cylindrical.
