In The Heat Of The Night (Forgotten And Moonlight - 5)

James couldn't sleep in these sweltering temperatures.

He lay on his back, spending several moment just staring up at the night sky and the full moon before he smiled. How could he have forgotten the lake? He could just imagine the cool water on his skin, cooling him down and allowing him to get some much needed rest.

Easily finding his way to the shore by the moonlight, James paused for a heartbeat. Fuck! How could he have forgotten that? He looked around to check he was alone before quickly stripping and running into the water.

It felt so wonderful.

Busted (Oops – 15)

Abby lay awake listening to James toss and turn, sighing and muttering about the heat. She wasn't surprised when he rose and walked off into the woods. However, as the minutes ticked by, worry grew in her heart. It didn't take that long to have a piss. Something might have happened to him...

Abby rose and followed after him, smiling when she reached the lake. Her breath caught when James stripped naked and ran into the lake. Frozen to the spot in embarrassment until James turned towards her, calling out, “It's lovely in here, Abby. Why don't you join me?”

****

Friendship (Trust – 46)

Abby stared at the water, it looked so bloody inviting. But...

“I won't look, Abby.”

James sounded amused and she shot him a look, quickly looking away as the water lapped at his waist. He smiled and turned around, briefly flashing his arse as he swam away from her.

Abby shook her head, of course she could trust James. She quickly removed her clothing and dashed into the water.

Sometime later, the air was filled with laughter as they played in the water.

Later still, they returned to camp, happy and tired and fell asleep on opposite sides of the fire.
