The blazing sun lit up the Vermont sky as yet another in the series of hot summer days had the populace sweltering and desperate for relief, filling the public pools to capacity. Everyone was there -- including THE girl. Her name was Francine, but of course everyone called her âFranâ or âFranny.â Despite the staggering heat and humidity, her blonde hair flowed behind her as she sauntered in. The poolâs spirited tumult even paused for a moment. She was that kind of girl -- blessed with a beauty and a flare that never went unnoticed.
Fran slid down onto a pool chair with a dancerâs grace, her buff boyfriend, Chuck, by her side. She smiled when she caught his eye and her smile was returned. Her heart was as warmed by his love, as her skin by the hot sun. She unwrapped her beach towel, exposing her simple tanksuit, to the sunâs powerful rays.
All around the pool her unintentionally seductive actions didnât go unnoticed.
âDonât forget lotion,â Chuck reminded her.
âOh, thanks,â she purred, and closed her eyes, fully expecting him to begin. After a second or two, she opened a quizzical eye. She just shook her head, noticing the bottle in her boyfriend extended arm.
âYeah, thanks,â Fran sighed, as she snapped the bottle from his hands. (âOh, I have so much to teach him,â she thought,) snapping the bottle open. She began oiling her legs, thinking about their futures. She loved him with all her heart, but she felt that he was definitely a work in progress.
She glanced his way. He was handsome, well built, and trustworthy. (âShe would have to work on his courtliness,â she thought, with a shrug.) Finished with her legs, she poured some lotion into her hand and started on her arms. She smiled thinking about their big night ahead. They had dinner plans with both set of their parents, and she had heard from a friend of a friend that tonight was the night that her boyfriend finally popped the question.
Her arms aglow, she ran handful of oil down her neck to the top of her chest. She ran an oily finger inside the straps of her low cut top and down her cleavage. A twinge of pride, looking down at her blessings, filled her body. It was a quick twinge, though, because she suddenly realized that she wasnât the only one looking. Sitting directly across the pool were a group of young men, obviously enjoying her show.
She could only offer a dirty looked response, as they mocked her actions, pretending to rub lotion into their chests, over-zealously. She was now a little thankful her boyfriend had talked her out of wearing her micro bikini.
Fran snapped her chair back and turned her gaze to the cloudless sky, yearning for the days ahead, when she could sun and swim in her own yard. Her father had promised her a house, but only after she was married. Thus with Chuckâs up-coming proposal, Fran just knew that her days at the public pool were dwindling.
The sun burned on, as the day crawled along. The pool continued to bustle with activity. Except for a group of teens playing with a beach ball, which kept rolling over to Franâs chair, the day was perfect.
âIâm thirsty,â Fran suddenly whined into the air.
âMe, too,â Chuck answered. âCould yah get me one too, while youâre up?â
âYeah, ok,â Fran said with a laugh, and then burned inside when she realized he wasnât joking.
âUghhh,â she growled as she snapped up. âAt least give me some money.â
âItâs in my wallet.â
Fran just shook her head. She wanted to set him straight, but today wasnât the day to get into a fight. No.... Today she wanted everything to be perfect. Slipping on her 4â clear plastic heeled shoes, she grabbed some cash, and made her way to the concession stand, which was a-buzz with activity. Franâs blood boiled even more now, as she really hated lines.
After a couple of minutes in line, her body shivered, she could have sworn she felt something brush against her left ass check.
âExcuse me,â Fran hissed, quickly spinning around. She was now staring directly at the group of young men that had enjoyed her lotion show so much. None of the men were offering apologies, but instead they seemed to be using the opportunity to check out her front side now, from up close. Fran was burning now from the heat of their stares. She had seen the look before...a look of hunger...sexual hunger.
She spun back around, her face flushed. She knew that these werenât the type of men that you fool around with. They were tall, lean and full of tattoos and piercings. And they looked like their young years had been some tough ones.
As the line moved slowly forward, Fran could feel their presence behind her. She was ready to bolt out of line, on anymore contact, her thirst be dammed. She could feel the largest of the men breathing on her left shoulder. She could tell he was peering over her shoulder, looking down the front of her swimsuit, she assumed, but there was now only one person in front of her.
âTwo Cokes please,â Fran mumbled, her voice crackling, when she finally got to the counter.
She could have sworn she heard one of them lewdly whisper, âyou gut some great tits,â but she let it go. No, today wasnât the day to pick a fight. She paid for the drinks and even told the counter girl to keep the change. Cokes in hand, she spun around and flounced past them, very conscious of the heat of their hungry eyes.
âIf you need more lotion, let us know,â she heard from behind her, and then one of them slapped her on the ass. She let out a yelp and quickly made her way back to her chair.
âHereâs yah Coke,â she snapped at Chuck, who was seemingly clueless as to what sheâd just went through to get it.
The rest of the afternoon Fran kept a close eye on the hungry eyes across the way. She yearned to leave early, since the teens were becoming bolder with the beach ball. (She finally understood that they just wanted to see her bend over to pick up the ball.) But she also wanted to keep everything on schedule.
The sun was starting to fade when Fran finally got her boyfriendâs ok to leave. She grabbed her towel and her pool bag and headed for the changing area, sticking her tongue out at the teens in the pool, in passing. She was also well aware of the hungry eyes, still watching her every move.
Inside the brick building that also held the showers, she noticed a lone naked woman walking out of the showers, but tried not to look.
Fran signed, a little relived that the shower-room was now empty, since the shower-room wasnât built for modesty. A lone three-foot wall separated the showers from the changing area, while the shower area itself was simply four showerheads sticking out of the bricked wall. Fran didnât consider herself shy, but didnât necessarily like being naked in front of strangers either, especially while washing herself. It was in the public showers that she noticed that her body attracted more than just menâs eyes.
Standing in front of a locker, the lone women behind her quickly dressing, she quickly pulled a shoulder strap off her shoulder and her breast sprang from its confinement, like a bird from a cage. She immediately blushed as she noticed her tan lines really emphasized her pink nipples now. She was about to slide off the other strap when she suddenly remembered that the brick building didnât have locks. In fact it didnât even have door, just a maze-like entrance.
âOh god,â she murmured, remembering the hungry eyes outside. Then she relaxed a bit. âAh, the lifeguards are still here,â she sighed, with a settling breath. âBut I still better make it quick.â
She quickly slipped off the rest of her suit and hung it up, grabbed her towel and skipped to the showers, wearing only her plastic heeled shoes. Out of the corner of her eye, she also thought, with a tingle, that she saw the other woman steal a look before she left.
âAhhh.â Fran moaned as the cool water hit her hot skin. The water quickly erased her doubts about showering. The lucky water droplets seemed to fight to cling to her body, before falling to the floor.
âUmmm,â Fran purred as she ran her hands over her breasts. âYou two certainly got me noticed today,â she said with a laugh.
The feeling of the cool water -- and her hands -- got Fran thinking about a longer shower.
âGotta get this lotion off,â she reasoned, when in fact she just liked to soap up her naked body, especially her full, firm breasts. She giggled to herself, remembering all the times she ran home from school to shower, when she first started to develop.
âSome things never change,â Fran said to herself, before she spun to grab her soap that was still in her locker, and then quickly let out a screech and lunged for her towel, draped on the short wall.
The hungry eyes were back.
âWhat are you guys doing in here?â Fran snapped. Her face aflame as she struggled to wrap herself in the towel, wishing it were bigger. âYou guys are in big trouble now.â
They merely chucked. Franâs body was shivering from the cool water, but more with fear. She counted them off. There were only three of them now, all shirtless, and all staring her way.
âIâm serious. Get out of here!â Fran tried to sound authoritative, but none of them seemed bothered. They werenât standing there clad only in a towel.
âAre you done?â The rugged looking lad, whom Fran quickly assumed was their leader, asked. He was leaning arrogantly against Franâs locker. A taller young man stood by the maze-like exit, while a third, smaller built version, sat on a bench seat, nervously rocking back and forth.
Fran tried to speak, but didnât know what to say. But she knew she was trapped. Feeling like a rat in a cage, she wanted to plead for them to leave, although she knew that it would have a feeble hope of success.
âCome over here so we can talk,â the leader barked, while also snapping his fingers. Fran shook her head, but when he snapped his fingers again, she cringed and obeyed, felling much like a scolded puppy dog.
Fran stopped a couple of feet away from the leader and his rocking friend, but didnât dare get closer.
âPlease, I have money in my....â
Fran was interrupted. âShut the fuck up!â the leader shouted. His sharp tone causing her to leap back, her mouth agape, her hands clutching her towel.
âYou listen here, Missy, I donât want to hear your fucking voice again.... Understand?â The leader said, his voice full of force. Fran quivered, as she wasnât use to being talked to like this. (She also thought they might have been in here for two reasons, both starting in R and apparently robbery wasn't on their minds.)
At that thought, a tear rolled down Franâs cheek, and more followed.
âOk, stop the tears,â the leader rasped. âWeâre not going to rape yah,â he said, seemingly reading Franâs mind
Confused, Fran wiped her cheek.
âThatâs right, stop the tears,â the leader said, folding his arms. âI mean if we were rapists your ass would have been nailed right there in the showers.â
