Jan and I have always enjoyed the outdoors - hiking, biking, and camping as often as we could given our generally busy and certainly too hectic lives. So given an opportunity to escape reality for a few days into the California hills, we both eagerly set to the task of planning and coordinating and ensuring we could be missed for a few days at our respective offices. We both work in the software industry and while well-compensated, we mostly long to do other things as the hours are long and the output often not so tangible. Neither of us mind long hours actually, but long hours puzzling through often complex and regularly obscure problems easily fosters a sense of "the grass must be greener somewhere else." But our planned escape to the wilds was intended to cure this itch β or at least distract us for awhile.
We live in the city, commute to the valley, but escape to the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur. Big Sur attracts us given its otherworldly atmosphere and varying terrain and we decided to head first to the coast and then up into the hills. We often stay at the Big Sur Campground adjacent to the river and nestled in the redwoods. It is a quiet and private enclave great as a jumping-off point for our other plans β day trips to Andrew Molera and Pfeiffer Big Sur.
Our gear ready and the jeep loaded, we headed south along the coast, deciding on the more scenic route along Highway 1. Hoping to arrive by late afternoon, we were in no particular hurry and sought to keep a relaxed tempo to our four-day weekend. I eagerly anticipated the days ahead of us relaxing around the campground with a fire and a bottle or two (or three) of a quality cab. A good wine can be a catalyst for fun and adventure and a good cab in a magical place like Big Sur the medium by which we transport ourselves towards our fantasies.
It was a pleasant and sunny day as we left the fickle weather of the city behind. We enjoyed the sun shining into the jeep, the top down to capture as much warmth as we could. Jan was radiant in the hazy, coastal-tempered sunlight, her long red hair tangled up in (blue) the wind. She wore her sleeveless white blouse and low-cut tan shorts, the sort that would be hip-huggers if they were long pants. The pants accentuate her curvy hips and rounded bottom in a sexy way I find cute. And given the breeze, her shirt lifted and billowed around her firm, small breasts and erect nipples distracting me while I tried to focus on driving. Jan has breasts that are full and round, tipped by pert, pink nipples that are easily aroused and sensitive. She enjoys playful pinching and careful biting when we make love and rougher play when near orgasm. I reached over and playfully pulled at a nipple, through the thin material, and cupped her rounded breast firmly. Jan enjoys being controlled and she received this unannounced and firm grasp with a flush, a smile and a tense, quick gasp. I opened her shirt, unclasping those buttons which hadn't already lost their struggle to protect her modesty. Her shirt sides fluttering about her, her breasts now were sunlit and exposed to the world, an erotic beauty comfortable in her partial nudity.
I pulled off the highway at a private turnout though the road was quiet with little traffic.
"And what are we doing here?" Jan asked as I turned off the car and opened my door.
I came around to her door, which by now she had opened, and I think it was obvious why I stopped as my erection boldly proclaimed by interest (and need). I brushed my hand across her stomach and held her hip as I leaned into her kiss, my other hand behind her neck. She responded openly and eagerly, reaching under my shorts and encouraging my hardness, stroking up and down with passion. I reached between her legs pulling her up and towards me by covering her mons and cupping. Despite the cloth, I could sense her wetness and the spread of her vulva.
"Not here," she said pushing my hand away and breaking the embrace. "I want to wait for tonight."
"I'm not sure I can wait," I responded still trying to catch my breath and painfully struggling to fit back into my shorts.
"Why don't I drive for awhile?" Jan offered. "You can take care of business while I watch," she playfully proffered.
My struggles to contain my excitement were lost as I sprung loose again and poked her in the side. "Hey, don't hurt me βor yourself; the weekend is just starting." she
She left her shirt open as she climbed from the jeep, walking around the front to the driver's side, waving cheerfully at a passing car to the young couple staring in surprise. I buckled in and wasted no time in "releasing the pressure" and held myself firmly, head pointed skyward. As she drove south, I masturbated while watching her smile and glance my way, her nipples again erect in the wind. With an abandon I seldom feel, I stroked myself, losing track of the world around me and I came with a bursting sensation, my cum hitting the dash, my shirt, and lap. As I regained my composure I saw that Jan was driving with one hand on the wheel and the other pinching and pulling her nipples. Fortunately for us both, the road was straight and nearly empty and our little play came to an end.
"Thanks for the show!" she teased. "Thanks for the audience!" I retorted. Funny thing is though that in practice Jan is much more of the exhibitionist and I am much more of the voyeur. Take a break sometime and read about our visit to the bar in "Jan's Night Out" and you'll see what I mean.
We both settled down and as we neared Santa Cruz decided to change our attire to more of a PG-13 fashion for the remainder of the cruise through Monterey and into Big Sur.
The campground was mostly empty when we arrived and we were able to pick our favorite site, nearly hidden within a secluded grotto of redwoods towards the back of the facility. The site was tucked behind an enormous granite boulder and adjacent to a quiet stream that meandered through the campground towards its confluence with the Big Sur River. Our grotto was shared with just one other site which had not been taken. Both sites share a common fire pit and picnic table as I suspect the location is generally used by groups camping together. Redwood forests have a cathedral ambience and the quiet insulation of the pine needle forest bed gives one a sense of peace and isolation. Our private escape amplified this condition, cocooning us in our own small world.
Not wasting any time, we unloaded the jeep and began our camp construction, orienting the tent towards the pit and table so that we could enjoy a late night campfire. While setting up our "kitchen" and prepping for our spaghetti dinner, another car snuck around the boulder and pulled into the neighboring site. Two young men of about our age emerged from the car and with a friendly wave and polite hello asked if they could share the grotto.
"No problem," Jan replied warmly and I would say even eagerly as she eyed our new friends with what I would describe as an appraising measure.
"My name's Derek and this is my roommate Mike," Derek added, extending his hand to Jan.
"Hi Derek and Mike. I'm Jan and this is my husband Eric," accepting Derek's hand in hers warmly. "It will be nice to have company this weekend. We both enjoy fireside chats and sharing our wine. Hope you both like good cab?"
"I'd never say no to a fine wine with a pretty woman," flirted Mike.
Surprised at the flirtation, I bantered back, "well it's good that we brought plenty and we like to share," surprised at my own suggestive reply. Derek and Mike didn't seem to hear the other meaning though Jan smiled at me quickly and with a wink of her eye told me she liked our new friends.
We finished our campground chores and decided to go for a trail run in the afternoon sun. Jan changed into her running shorts and shirt in the tent while I changed at our car. It was fairly warm and Jan emerged from the tent in her running bra and high-cut nylon shorts and sat at the table to stretch her legs. I was sitting on the ground working the kinks out my ankles and knees and noticed that as she pulled her leg up towards her chest to stretch her hamstrings, her nylon shorts pulled noticeably aside, letting the sun warm the edges of her neatly trimmed red pubic hair. The voyeur in me stared, trying to not get too aroused but when I saw that Derek had noticed her opening, I struggled to maintain my composure. I don't think Jan was intending to put on a show but she had a similar effect on Derek as she was having on me as I could see a slight swelling in his shorts. On the other hand, her nipples were visible through her top and it may have been that she was excited by her exposure.
Stretching finished we loped off the trail up into the neighboring hills and ran for 45 minutes at a reasonable pace. Running is a great escape and keeps us both fit. And a quickie sex romp in the bushes in the middle of scenic run can be lots of fun. But we kept our hands to ourselves today, returning to the campsite sweaty and out of breath. And while I don't think she was sexually aroused, Jan's nipples stood out prominently through her sweat soaked top as she walked around the grotto to cool down.
After water and recovery, Jan announced she was going to take a nap and get some sun laying a towel on the pine needles near the picnic table. While face down, she tugged her top off over hear head keeping her breasts hidden beneath her, closing her eyes and relaxing. While I read my book, she fell asleep in the afternoon sun.
After a bit, I decided to walk down to the river and reconnoiter a swimming hole we had used in years past. I spent a half hour throwing rocks in the water and looking for fish before heading back to the campsite. As I came around the boulder, I noticed that Jan in her sleep had rolled onto her side facing towards the table with her arm draped along her body and her breasts fully exposed. Derek and Mike were both sitting and reading, Derek at the table and Mike on a small rock but both faced her and I could see as I approached quietly that they spent as much time appraising her nipples as they did on page turning.
"Hey guys," I said quietly as I walked up.
