Page 10 of Always Beth
‘Come on, big boy, show me what you’re made of.’
I reluctantly drop my jacket to the ground, followed by my shirt and trousers. As soon as the cool air hits my bare thighs, my dick starts to wither. My eyes rise to meet Beth, and she bites down hard on her lip, probably to stifle her laughter. This is not how I imagined being naked in front of her for the first time.Here goes, old chap, don’t let me down.I drop my boxers to the ground and tiptoe precariously towards the water, all the while holding her gaze. Her eyes travel down my body and as I dip below the surface, there’s a rush through my veins as my dick starts to harden.Fuck, if it’s not shrivelling up, it’s going up.
‘See, not that bad, is it?’ Her teeth start to chatter.
‘Says the woman shivering.’
‘I was happily swimming until you rudely interrupted me. You’ve distracted me and my body temperature has dropped from l-l-lack of m-m-movement.’
‘It would be my fault, wouldn’t it?’ I reach out to her and rest my hand on her bare shoulder. Her eyes drop to my hand, then back to my face.
‘What are you doing?’
‘Warming you up.’
‘I-I-I’m fine.’ Her breath catches.
‘You’re freezing. Come here.’ I turn her in the water and pull her against my body. It won’t be long until the water gets to me as well and then I’ll have an excuse for my sudden embrace.
‘Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?’
‘It’s the sight of you in this athletic one piece and multicoloured bobble hat, such sights can do things to a man, you know.’
‘No men I know.’
My lips brush against her ear and she tenses against me. ‘You’ve been hanging around with the wrong men then.’
‘Oh my god, what is that?’ she shrieks.
Shit, my fucking dick.‘Jesus, I don’t know, perhaps there’s some kind of animal in the water?’
Pushing away from my body, she splashes the water furiously towards me. ‘Just when I thought you were being a gentleman. Fresh water eel, is it?’
‘I’d say it’s more like an anaconda.’
‘You infuriate me. Get out.’ Her cry is feral, and it echoes, bouncing along the water.
‘It’s a public lake. Not your private pool.’
‘Hey! What are you both doing in there? You can’t swim here, it’s a site of national heritage.’
Glancing back to the bank, I see the warden standing with an exasperated expression, hands planted firmly on his hips.
‘I told you.’ I splash water back in her direction.
‘I’m so sorry, I didn’t know, I apologise.’ Hearing her grovel is almost a novelty.
After wading through the water, she quickly wraps herself in a towel. It’s only then the realisation hits that I’m as naked as the day I was born, with the park warden as a spectator.
‘Beth, can you…’
‘What?’ her voice screeches so loudly that she startles the dogs.
‘Er, I’ll leave you folk to it. Just don’t do it again.’ Relief hits me as the warden wanders off. I carefully approach the edge with one hand cupping my privates and the other outstretched.
‘Beth, please pass me my boxers.’ I glance around hastily, who knows who else might appear.
She groans as she zips her coat up in outrage. ‘What these? Here take them.’ She launches them towards me and they hit the water, inches from my fingertips.
