Steve watched as the canoe cleared the low hanging branches as they veered into a side channel. Trout swam by the canoe, disturbed by its sudden intrusion.
"Look over there," Steph called.
Steve Deforest looked back where his wife was pointing to see a raised platform and the large nest made of thick branches with the distinct head of an osprey looking out at them or more likely the trout.
Sure enough as they continued on around the bend the majestic osprey remained fixated on the water behind them.
Soon the bend opened up into a wide branch to the waterway between lakes. They stopped paddling and let the canoe glide slowly over the smooth water.
Steve felt some jostling then a sharp tip followed by a loud splash near him. He turned to see the empty canoe seat behind me with a pile of clothes near where Stephanie was sitting a moment ago.
He turned his head to stare at the circular ripples in the water. A large pink form appeared under the water. Steph broke free of the water up to her bare shoulders. She flung her wet, long blonde hair back laughing.
"Come on in, the water's fine."
Steve laughed and pulled his shirt off.
As he stood Stephanie laughed again, "Take it off baby!"
Steve pulled his shorts and underwear down and jumped over the edge of the canoe in a dive, cutting the water evenly.
He broke water close to where Stephanie was, but no longer. He looked around to find her smoothly swimming through the water several yards away from him.
She slowed to look back, smiling at him with a huge grin. "You want me; you're going to have to catch me, stud."
She shrieked and swam hard away as Steve dove fast.
After a couple powerful strokes his hand caught hold of her flaying ankle. He gripped it and pulled her struggling back to him.
Finally, he had a hand on her bare shoulder.
She laughed and spun around wrapping her arms around his neck and shoulders. She let him clutch her ass and shift them until she felt herself sink down on his stiff flesh.
Steve lightly tread water while his wife used her hold on his shoulders to drive herself up and down on his hard length.
They held together face to face in the middle of the stream.
"Ooooooo, I'm so glad the water's warm," Steph purred as she thrust herself on him.
"Me too," Steve laughed.
Steve held her ass tight and pushed his hips the best he could while kicking with his feet to keep them even afloat.
Steph's face flushed and she grew more frantic in her motions. She swooped down and locked her wet lips on her husband's drinking deep from his mouth as her release rushed over her.
She rested holding on to him as he gently kicked his feet.
Slowly she pulled away from him and leaned back in the water, first her nipples then her firm breasts broke the surface of the smooth water as she floated arms spread, legs kicking lightly.
Steve smoothly swam next to his smiling wife.
She sat up quickly and pointed up where Steve saw the osprey flying past with a wiggling fish clasped in its talons.
Steph beamed at her husband. "I love living in the Adirondacks with you."
Steve smiled and shifted to float on his back and relax to enjoy the day, especially when Steph's hand reached over to clutch his penis just under the water.

Cindy leaned against her car and watched as a small two door car pulled up next to hers.
After watching the driver get out and give a slight wave Cindy spoke.
"James?" Cindy asked staring at the familiar person in a white dress and blue shirt open to a black tank top beneath.
Jesse ducked her head, "Hi Cindy. After you called and told me I had the job I thought about things. I moved here to get a fresh start and be who I'm comfortable being which is definitely not James. I would much rather be 'Jesse' if that's alright with you. I should have been upfront about that yesterday in the interview. I'm still kind of nervous."
Cindy smiled and walked over to the nervous girl, "It's not up to me at all but what makes you feel comfortable. Can Jesse make drinks as good as James?"
Jesse smiled and nodded her head.
Cindy beamed and gave the surprised woman a hug, "Perfect. Welcome aboard, Jesse. Good thing you told me now before I ordered name tags!"
Cindy gave a small smile as she watched the tense Jesse relax a bit.
"I can't tell you how many times I dressed and undressed this morning. I almost canceled on you."
"I'm so glad you didn't. You'll be great. You go ahead on in and look around the café to get familiar with it. As soon as Heather gets here, we'll be over and get started. As far as she, me or anyone else is concerned you are Jesse."
Jesse smiled, "Sounds great."
It wasn't long before Heather pulled in and parked and the three were in the café together.
"Heather, this is Jesse. Jesse, Heather. And the three of us make up the café."
Heather looked at Cindy, "Just three of us? Will that be enough?"
"You both want full time, right? I'll be working most days open until close. I'll always have at least one of you with me. Paradise is open Tuesday through Friday from ten until six and until eight on Saturdays. We're closed Sundays and Mondays. Not as many hours as Borders was or even Starbucks. So we'll manage just fine I think. If it turns out to be much and we have a lot of customers than I'll hire on more help. We'll have to see what we get. In a pinch I can get help from the bookstore end of things."
Heather looked around the bookstore. "I remember shopping here when it was Borders. It was busy."
Cindy laughed, "Well, I certainly hope we'll be busy too, but we really need to wait and see. I have a couple more good applicants I can call if it does get crazy."
Cindy had hired Jesse and Heather because both had experience working at Starbucks. They quickly got into a rhythm working the machines and the small counter area. Both soon grew comfortable enough to offer suggestions to Cindy who was much more familiar with a full restaurant operation than a cafe.
By the end of the first shift Cindy was thrilled with her new staff.
She waved goodbye to both of them as she locked up the doors. She stared at the large glass opening to the store. In just a couple of days they would be unlocking those doors for customers. She was so excited.

Soon enough Cindy was pulling into her driveway. She looked down the street at her mother-in-laws' house. No signs of life, probably out on a date or in bed together. She smiled, thrilled with her life and went into her own home.
Just about an hour later she looked up as Matt came into the house carrying take out from a local popular burger place. She stretched and put the book she was reading down on the couch and climbed off to follow Matt into the kitchen.
Matt smiled as he turned to his wife, "I just saw Chip and Beth at Ralph's Diner."
Cindy smiled, "I'm so happy he's found somebody. I like Beth."
Matt looked at the smiling woman in his arms, "Any plans tonight, my love?"
Cindy shook her head grinning, "No, but I can tell by the look on your face that you do."
Matt chuckled, "remind me never to play poker against you."
Cindy laughed, "Even strip poker?"
Matt laughed, "That would be a whole different matter."
"So what's in my kinky husband's mind?"
"Well since I sneaked in those photos of you sucking me last time, I was thinking about a whole video of you sucking me from start to finish."
"And for starring in this blowjob video my reward would be...?"
"Dinner at Mackenzies?"
"Dinner and a movie?"
"Dinner and a movie we both agree on?"
