Skinny Dip

[PearlNecklace]

It was getting warmer now, Summer was finally approaching. The days were sunnier, nights were warmer. Chloe was happy, it meant she could indulge in her favourite pastime again.

Shy and somewhat reserved, people who knew her would be surprised to find out she regularly visited a beach near to her home and went skinny dipping. Chloe loved the way it felt, the feel of the water as it lapped at her skin, the way the moon and stars looked so bright as she floated on the surface of the water. She could pretend she was the only one in the world.

Tonight was no different. She'd driven to the beach, parked in her usual spot and left her shoes and the majority of her clothes in the car. Walking to the sand she dropped her towel, car keys and bikioni soon landing on top of it. Without a moments hesitation she ran into the water, laughing as she enjoyed the first cool caress to her skin.

OOC: Im not looking for anything abusive, nor am I looking to be raped. Perhaps caught by a nice guy.. who knows.. lets see where it goes.

I sat in my car filling out the daily reports. I enjoyed these last few days of spring when the weather was still unpredictable and I didn't have much to do. I thought being a lifeguard would be exciting, like in Baywatch, but I spent the bulk of my summer retrieving beach balls and pool toys that floated too far away from children. Apparently losing a 50 cent piece of plastic justified an "emergency" in their mind. But I preferred them coming and telling me instead of trying to retrieve the toys themselves. After all their patronage gave me something to write on my reports so the parks department could see that the beach needed a lifeguard on duty at all times.

I sighed in disbelief that this was the peak of my day. I hoped I could make a real rescue sometime soon so I wouldn't be a laughingstock anymore. I closed my notebook and clicked on the radio. I looked out the windshield at the moonlight bouncing off the ocean surface. It was a beautiful sight until I spotted the small jeep parked near the east entrance. I figured it was teenagers, sneaking down to the beach to drink a few beers and make out. I had done the same thing when I was younger but it was my responsibilty to chase away any trespassers, even if I was off of the clock.

I walked down the hill towards the beach. It didn't appear that anyone was around. I clicked on my flashlight hoping to see no one so I could be on my way. But my flashlight beam bounced off of a shiny object to my right. I sighed and walked towards what I assumed was a bottle cap. As I got closer I saw it was a set of car keys. Now I had to decide whether to leave them where they were and assume everything would be ok and I wouldn't get fired for not reporting this. Or I could take them with me, following protocol and hope the owner would surface at the lost found tomorrow or appear from the shadows so I could issue a trespassing citation and be on my way. I adjusted the whistle around my neck so I would be in full uniform and began to walk towards the water. Before I could take two steps I felt my back foot being pulled backwards and I fell face first to the sand. Frantically I shined the light on my ankles, chuckling softly as I saw the bikini top wrapped around my ankles. I removed the top and threw it back on the beach towel.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" I called out but the only reply I received was the soft crashing of the waves against the beach. "Hello?" I repeated "Come out now and I won't give you a ticket for being here after hours, I just want to go home, I've been here for 12 hours!" "Hello?" I waited for a few minutes before heading back up the beach.

I knew someone was around but I wasn't in the mood for confrontation but I realized this was about as close as I was going to get to being a "hero" at this job. Even if no one saw me I could get the satisfaction of hiding and busting some young punks. I ducked behind the lifeguard tower and peered out. Soon I saw a shadowy figure emerge from the water, quickly looking side to side before approaching the beach towel. "A-ha!" I said jumping out from behind the tower and running towards the figure. "Look the beach is closed and-" I heard a scream which startled me causing me to drop my flashlight. I scrambled to grab it. "Stop right there!" I shouted at the sillhoutte. The flashlight caught her right in the eyes and she froze like a deer in the headlights. Using one hand to shield her eyes and another to cover her breasts she turned her back to me. She inched closer to the beach towel.

"Don't move!" I shouted "I know that you're probably unarmed but I can't take that chance. My name is Alton Groves, I'm the lifeguard at this beach. I'm just going to write you a ticket for trespassing then you can be on your way." I looked down and began writing the date on the ticket pad as I noticed her inching closer to the towel. "What did I just say? Don't move!" I said moving closer to her.

 

[PearlNecklace]

Caught!

Like a deer in the headlights I stood there, so surprised that I'd been caught I could barely breath. I look up, trying to see who was behind the flashlight, but I found myself blinded. Was it really a lifeguard or was this someones idea of a joke.

Trying to get to my towel, shock and the night air making my wet body cold. Slowly moving closer to the towel, moving when the unknown man wasnt looking. His commands for me to remain still making me flush with embarrassment.

"I.. I didnt realise I was trespassing. I.. I did this all last Summer and no one stopped me. Im sorry, if I could just get my towel..."

I trailed off, realising he was intent on writing the ticket and I wasnt going to be able to convince him not to. Who knew you could get a ticket for skinny-dipping!

 

[allonblack]

"Ok, look sorry that I startled you, but I'm just doing my job here. The heat is on me from the parks department anyways and if something happened and you drowned out there then I could get in trouble. And I just realized this must be totally embarrassing to stand there and talk to me naked." I said with a chuckle "I'll turn my back but you have to promise you won't run away." She nodded and moved towards her towel, with her back still to me.

I turned back around after 30 seconds to see her tying the bikini top. She turned back around and I outstretched my hand to give her the ticket. I pulled my hand back quickly saying "You know what? I was a kid once, well I still am, I'm only 25 but I did the same thing many times so I'd be a huge hypocrite if I give you this ticket, the parks department can get their tax revenue from somewhere else." I said ripping the ticket into shreds. "But can I have your word that you won't be out here tomorrow making me miss sitcom reruns and a sodium filled tv dinner?" I said narrowing my eyes at her, doing my best to look like an authority figure.

 

[PearlNecklace]

I breath a sigh of relief, hes a gentleman at least. Quickly getting into my bikini, picking up my car keys - they'll make a good weapon if I need it, I think to myself. Turning to face him, my teeth chattering a little. I move towards my towel, picking it up, shaking of excess sand and wrapping it around my body.

I stand there hopping from foot to foot, trying to get warm, feeling at a distinct disadvantage. I listen to the lifeguards speech, arching an eyebrow. "I was a kid once as well, I never did this kind of thing. Dont you dare talk down to me because Im only a yar younger than you!" I glare angrily at him, wondering for a moment if it was a bad idea. He'd just ripped up the ticket and he did turn his back so I could change. But I cant help myself, that redhead personality, and fiery temper just took over.

Hands on my hips, still glaring "And if I want to be here, I'll be here again. You can give me another ticket if you like. But I'll inform your superiors I was sexually harrassed. How will they feel when they find out one of their employees left a helpless young woman naked on the beach!?"

 

[allonblack]

Her embarrassment turned to frustrated rage as she began threatening me. I rolled my eyes at her as I waited for her to finish her tantrum. "Ok, I tried to be nice, but if you want to play that way I can call my superiror right now and have you arrested for disorderly conduct on top of your trespassing charge. Since you seem to be in challenging mood do you want to hit me so you can get the hat trick with an assault charge too?" I said defiantly as I started reaching for my radio.

I noticed her flesh was still a lighter color than it should've been by then, obviously she was still cold. "Hey let's continue this discussion in the office." I said motioning towards the white building under the lifeguard tower. "There's a coffee pot in there so you can get warmed up before we decide what to do about your skinny dipping incident. I would think you could trust me, even though we just met but you were naked a few minutes ago and I didn't touch you, so if I were you I'd do as I say and the sooner this night will be over with and we can forget this whole thing." I turned and walked towards the office, glancing over my shoulder to see if she was following me.

 

[PearlNecklace]

I feel my anger start to dissolve, embarrassment taking over. He has a point, he didnt touch me and now that the anger I was feeling has cleared I realise I was being slightly irrational. I nod and follow him, formulating an apology. Trying to find a way to apologise for my terrible behaviour and thank him for hte coffee Im about to drink.

"Im sorry.. I wasnt thinking.." I start to say to his back, following him meekly up the sand and into the tower.

 

[allonblack]

She appeared to be sincere with her apology as I unlocked the door and switched on the light. I put the coffee on and told her it would be a few minutes. I looked around the room looking for any conversation piece to break the awkward silence. Finally I opened my desk drawer and began speaking, "Sorry if I came off like a jerk out there. And at the risk of sounding redundant or like I have an obsession for lecturing, take a look at this." I said pushing a file folder towards her.

"It's the accident reports from all the years since this beach opened. As you can see, there's been zero fatalities and we want to keep it that way. Can you imagine the fallout if even one person got severly injured or killed here? We'd lose thousands in fees for volleyball competitions, fashion shows, and so on. So I hope you can understand why I was so anal about you being in the water unsupervised. I know skinny dipping isn't a big deal, heck I'll admit there's nothing that compares to swimming naked, but if you really enjoy it, why not just go to a nude beach? I know you may think there's a lack of privacy there but I've been there and believe me there's not as much as staring as you'd expect."

Just then the red light lit up on the coffeemaker. I poured her a styrofoam cup full of coffee and slid the aluminum lawn chair from behind the desk towards her. I grimaced at the scraping of the metal across the cement floor.

 

[PearlNecklace]

I stand there as he turns on the light, makes coffe and sits a his desk. I wonder if I should take a seat, but dont want to presume I'm entitled to and start another disagreement. Its been a long day, and my usually pleasant experience at the beach has turned slightly nightmarish. All I can think now is how much I'd like to get home, take a shower and get into bed.

I nod as he speaks, listening to all he says. I realise it cant be all that interesting - just sitting waiting for a drowning that hasnt occured. Looking at the folder I bite my lip. "I guess I didnt think about this from your point of view, Im sorry."

I feel myself start to shiver, wondering where the coffee is and when exactly he'll let me home. He continues to speak, recommending a nude beach, in that moment I wish the ground would open up and swallow me. Im saved though, the light on the coffeemachine turns on. I watch as he pours me a cup and offers me a seat. Ignoring the scrap of metal on the floor.

Gratefully I sit down and cup my hands around the coffee, trying to get warm. I choose my words carefully, ignoring the blush spreading over my features. "I'll consider a nude beach, but its very unlikely I'll actually go to one. I prefer to skinny dip at night when no one can see me. I dont think the world is quite prepared for a body like mine." I grimace, looking to the floor.

I'm 5'6, not too tall, but enough for my liking. My red hair falls in long waves down my back, though at the moment I must look like the head of a mop. Blue green eyes that sparkle with enthusiasm or delight as I arrange and deliever the flowers that are my tool of trade. My body is curvy, some would say in all the right places. I would say in the wrong. Full breasts that get more comments than I'd like and hips too curvy. As I sit there shivering, feeling my nipples harden I pull the towel tighter around myself and pray he doesnt notice. Wishing there was more of it to cover me.

 

[allonblack]

The color returned slowly to her flace, soon replaced by blushing. She seemed slightly ashamed of her body or if I was reading her wrong she was proud of it. Either way I could tell she didn't want to be the focal point in the room but I knew I should say something to reassure her. "Oh come on, you're attractive but you're right, the nude beaches are more for people like our parents age, so I can understand if you don't want strangers leering at you. By the way I didn't get your name, which is lucky for you because if I didn't fill a name in on the ticket it would be useless." I chuckled slightly as I noticed my eyes drifting towards her chest but it was hard to avoid staring. After all she had just mentioned her body so it was a reflex to stare.

The next few minutes inched by slowly, obviously she was waiting for me to decide what to do with her. I found myself babbling about my work, desperate for any human contact after a long day of sitting atop the lifeguard tower. I asked her what kind of car she drove, where she was from, if she was interested in any sports, and so on. I barely gave her time to answer between questions. "I'm sorry, I'm not much of a conversationalist I know, I hope I haven't bored you too much and that you'll be able to stay awake on the drive home. It's just been awhile since I've talked to someone here at the beach other than my boss or a seven year old. I'll forget about the ticket for tonight and if you want to come back you can. If I get fired, oh well, maybe I need a career change. But there's an orange grove about half mile west of here, you can park there and no one can see your car. There's a trail that leads down to the beach. So if you did want to come here and swim again you'd be walking behind me and I wouldn't know you were here. But that's if you wanted to come back." I said with a wink, hoping she would accept my deal.

 

[PearlNecklace]

I smiled as he asked me question after question. Answering each as best I could, realising after a short while hes probably as lonely as I am. Ive always been kind hearted, the kid that adopted every stray cat in the neighbourhood and cared for it. Not that this man was a cat, far from it. The more I looked at him the more I began to realise he was actually good looking. In any other situation I might have checked him out. I'd never have approached him, Ive always been too shy.

"Im Chloe, Chloe Lewis" I say with a smile, standing and offering my hand in a rather formal gesture. I gently squeeze his hand as he places his in mine, enjoying the warmth for a fleeting moment. "If you give me the ticket I'll understand. I'll also be sure to not swim here alone again. I'd hate to be responsible for you losing your job." I smile again, biting my lip as I sit down, "Uhh.. if I was to check out that beach.. but had someone with me." I blush a little, looking up from the floor and continuing "Say an off duty lifeguard, would that be better?"

 

[allonblack]

Nice to meet you "Chloe Chloe Lewis" I chuckled at my lame attempt at humor knowing that she didn't have two first names. I swallowed hard when she touched my hand, it'd had been awhile since I had dated and I had allowed myself to become bitter and lonely partly by choice.

My voice cracked a little as I began, "I won't..." I cleared my throat "I won't give you the ticket, it's not that big of a deal anyways. If you really want to go to private beach I talked about I can take you there, but I'm sure you probably want to get home to your boyfriend..." I said trailing off. What was I doing? She knew she had gotten out of the ticket so she wasn't flirting for freedom anymore. I had to force myself to believe that a girl might actually be interested in spending time with me.

"So anyways about that beach, it's kind of rough getting there from here and you're not really dressed for it." I said gazing at her bare feet. "There's a bunch of broken beer bottles and rocks on the edge of the trail that's closest to us. So I hope you don't mind if I have to carry you part of the way. After all I've been training for carrying attractive young women in bathing suits." I said flexing my bicep and pointing to it.

 

[PearlNecklace]

I laugh softly at the corny joke, smiling at him. "Yeah, I got teased a lot about being called Chloe Chloe!" I wink, sitting back against the chair. "It was Alton wasnt it? I kinda had trouble concentrating on what you were saying.. I was a little shocked to be caught.."

Laughing again I shake my head. "If I had a boyfriend do you think he'd let me go skinny dipping without him? If I was your girlfriend would you let me?" I arch an eyebrow, looking at him, wondering what the answer would be. I find myself blushing at the implication of my words. He probably has a girlfriend, not everyone is single like me. "uhh.. so yeah.. that beach.."

I bite my lip, thinking it over, deciding whether or not I want to go to the beach, with this near stranger, AND have to be carried there. I watch him flex and take a deep breath in, feeling warmth flood my face and travel through my body. Surprised at the feeling I cant help but nod and smile brightly. "Well, I'll just have to force myself to be carried by a gorgeous lifeguard.. its a tough job..

 

[allonblack]

"Yes the name's Alton. Uh...well that's a puzzling question you ask. I'm single but from what I've learned from past relationships if I try to ask nicely and beg that my girlfriend not go to a bar or other dangerous place alone because I care about her and don't want to see her hurt or raped, then I'm a controlling jerk. And if I say it's ok for her to go then I'm a jerk that doesn't care. So it's a lose-lose situation. But I'm single so it doesn't concern me. And I'm rambling again, huh? So we better get to that beach before I talk your ear off. If you think you might be bored once we get there, I have the key to the lost and found we can "borrow" some pool toys if you want. I'll let you pick two things." I said content that she had laughed at my jokes and even seem impressed by my muscles.

Once she had picked some pool toys we made our way out of the office and back to the beach. I locked the door behind us and pointed towards the trail. "It's up there. We can walk most of the way, I'll let you know when I need to carry you. But I could use the workout so if want you can hop on my back now." I said crouching down offering my shoulders to her.

 

[PearlNecklace]

I smile, picking up a beach ball and an old scuba mask. Walking back outside I take a moment to look at the moon and the satrs, wondering how the night has changed so dramatically.

Smiling brightly at Alton, watching him crouch down I hesitate, an internal battle going on. Should I get on his back? Am I too heavy? Think of where you'll be sitting.. your body so close to him.. in intimate ways! A thousand arguments against it run through my head. In the end I give in, craving the contact of another human. Ahh.. who was I kidding. I wanted to know if his body was as warm as his hand was. What those muscles feel like against my skin, under my hands.

I wanted more, and I felt myself blushing because of it. Images of our bodies entwined, writhing around together flooded through my mind like a movie. I found myself moaning softly, closing my eyes to calm myself. Feeling my heated skin in such contrast to the slightly cool breeze.

 

[allonblack]

My heart began pounding at the stunning twist the night had taken. This was the most action I had seen since I caught a young couple about to make love on the beach a few weeks ago. I lifted her up pushing with my legs. She wasn't heavy but it was a fairly long walk and I didn't want to injure myself or her in the process.

Her head nearly rested on my shoulder as I walked. It wasn't easy to carry the toys and her so I stopped and slid the scuba mask over her face and pushed the beach ball between her legs. The rubber rubbed against my swimshorts causing them to slide down a little. I laughed embarrassed that my crack was starting to hang out. I stopped and slid her off of my back as I adjusted my shorts. "You know it would probably be smarter if we deflated this ball so we could carry it easier. We can blow it up again when we get to the beach you look like you're good at blowing things." I said. I realized I didn't finish that sentence and quickly tried to save it by saying "Up! I mean you're good at blowing things up, your lungs are strong because you really used them when you were screaming at me about sexual harassment and I think I'll just shut up now." I said lifting her back up.

We walked in silence almost the rest of the way. I stopped at the edge of the tall grass and told her "Okay, this is where it gets tricky. If I carry you on my back it's going to be a little hard since you may affect my balance. If I put you down you'll probably cut your foot for sure. I know it sounds odd but the best way for us to go down...Oh geez I just said "go down" didn't I? I swear I'm not trying to be a pervert but it would be easier if you reversed your position and faced me with your arms wrapped around my neck and your legs wrapped around my waist. That way I can use my hands to balance our weight better. Or I can walk down first and you can follow me so you don't step on anything. I'll let you decide while I catch my breath." I said dabbing the sweat away from my brow.

 

[PearlNecklace]

I laugh as innuendo after innuendo flies from his lips. He seems embarrassed, I cant really be angry when its so obviously not being done on purpose. Laughing softly to myself, I wrap mylegs tighter around his waist, worried I'll fall backwards. Its been years since someone carried me this way and Im almost positive the last time someone did I didnt want to kiss there neck or nibble on their shoulder as I'd like to do to Alton now.

We stop at the tall grass and I listen to his spiel. Choosing my words carefully I reply "Well, uhh.. what would you prefer. I can walk through the grass, theres only a slight possibility of glass. You're the one who'll.. I mean you'll be the one carrying me.. and well.. things.. yes.." I babble. "Its your choice" I say after taking a deep breath and waiting for his decision.

 

[allonblack]

"Sorry I'm babbling so much, there's not a lot of glass there, it's kind of my responsibility to clean it up but it's redundant but anyways I just figure if something happens to you here then you probably won't be back and though we just met I'm enjoying hanging out with you and hope we can hang out more soon." I stop suddenly realizing I knew nothing about the art of being subtle.

"Here" I said with moderate frustration as I lifted her beneath her knees and wrapped her around me. I hoped she would be pleased by my initiative. She turned her head to look behind her and guide me down the slope. She would tell me where to step on the rocks that were illuminated by the moonlight. I watched our shadows but soon was distracted by her hair blowing across her forehead. I used my right hand to brush it away causing her to turn and look at me. The quickness of the turn took me off guard and I lost my balance. With a thud I landed hard on my back as all the air was knocked from my body. I gasped a hollow grunt as her body landed on top of mine and her head banged off of my chest. I was disoriented for a moment and tried to ask her if she was ok but all that escaped my lips were wheezing whispers.

 

[PearlNecklace]

"Alright then ALton, carry me as you like.. and yes, I'll come hangout with you again." I smile as I feel him move me around his body, its nice to have amans hands on my skin. His feel particularly nice. I guide him down the hill as best I can, giving instructions, telling him where the next rock is and where one wasnt. Im glancing between the ground and the ocean ahead when my hair blows in my eyes, momentarily blinding me. Before I can brush it away Alton has, I feel warmth flood through me. But it soon disappears as I begin to fall and land with a thud on top of him.

Im momentarily seeing stars, the wind knocked out of me. I can hear him wheezing softly, I lean in closer, trying to understand what hes saying. I need to loose some weight I think to myself as I listen to him wheeze and think back to his earlier breathing problems. Both times because he was carrying me. I lean back, my body still half on his but not pressing against his chest. "Alton, are you okay? Honey? Say something?" I dont even realise the endearment has left my lips, Im straddling his hips, hand son his chest trying to decide if hes okay. The towel I was wearing is on the grass and Im sitting there in only my bikini.

 

[allonblack]

Finally I was able to choke out "I'm...okay...are...you?" I said turning my head as I coughed violently. I could feel the slippery spandex of her bikini bottom pressed against my thigh. My shorts had ridden up a little and I quickly tugged them back down. I glanced around and saw her towel lying to my right. I struggled to reach it but couldn't. I was glad I couldn't because I didn't want to cover her up but I thought I should be a gentleman and at least make the effort. Her skin began to get goosebumps almost immediately. She looked stunning in the bikini but I knew the fabric had to be stretched to the limits to hold back her glorious breasts.

It took awhile for it to sink in that she had called me "Honey", but I shook it off assuming it was just her nature to use terms of endearment. My mind searched for something clever to say but I was fresh out of quips. For the first time all evening I was direct "Chloe," I began "I think I landed on a bottle." I said rolling slightly to the side to relieve the pressure of the blunt object lodged behing my back.

 

[PearlNecklace]

"Oh god, Alton. Im sorry" I move slightly, letting him roll off it and to the side. I smile as he lies back down, my eyes caressing over his body. I feel my nipples harden, partly because of the cold but also in reaction to being so intmately entweined with his body. I blush but do nothing to hide the tight peaks not covered by the bikini.

"Id make a joke about landing on a bottle too but I dont think you're all that .. uhh.. bottle like." I say with an embarrassed laugh, gllancing down briefly at where we're joined by my straddling you. I wonder if Ive said the wrong thing, biting my lip and looking at his chest. If I was listening to the voice in my head Id be undoing my top and bottoms, pushing his away and riding him. But that was a ridiculous fantasy, one Id never have the guts to play out and one he obviously wasnt interested in.

 

[allonblack]

I chuckled at her comment about the bottle. As she rolled off of me, I dug the bottle out from behind me and threw it over my shoulder. I heard it shatter on the rocks below. "That was stupid, we have to walk down there yet." I said sighing. I stood up and adjusted my shorts to make sure nothing was peeking out.

"Regardless of whatever happens the rest of the night, I've got to say you sure now how to have fun on a first date...if this counts as a date. But I saw you shifting your weight trying to pull me down." I said with a wink as I gave her a playful shove. I could see she was still chewing her lip nervously. "Um...Chloe? You like you've got something on your mind. Is something bothering you?" I asked brushing myself off. "I'm ok, don't worry, see? not even a bruise." I said turning sideways towards her.

 

[PearlNecklace]

I smiled, blushing. Do I tell him the truth or not? Hes just called this a date. I could do something completely out of character and just say what Im thinking. More or less proposition him. "Uhh.. truthfully? Im resisting the urge to strip you and me naked and ride you" I blush again, turning my back and beginning to walk down the hill, too embarrassed to see his reaction.

 

[allonblack]

Her confession took me off guard. I narrowed my eyes at her and said "Ha ha very funny, ok you've had your fun. Pretty girl, nerdy lifeguard, you flirt and make me think I have a chance, get my hopes up and I'll probably never see you again after tonight, right?" I asked bluntly. "If I said something like that you'd probably slap me and walk away. Well I'm not giving you the satisfaction of humilating me, you tease." I said turning away from her and beginning to climb back up the hill.
