Dog days of summer

It's late afternoon and the summer heat is just starting to break.  It's too hot to do much of anything, so my wife and I relax and enjoy each other's company in a field off a trail.  We've just finished a light snack, and alternate snips between glasses of wine and water.

"Ah, this is the life," she says, stretching her body out on the lounge chair.  "I could do this all day!"

"Tell me about it," I reply while pacing the area.  My hamstring was starting to cramp, so am on my feet to stay loose.  I'd love to lay on a chair as well, but we only have the one.  No need to ask who sits in it, is there?

"You know what would make this day that much better, pet?" she asks slowly.

"Hmm...what?"

Without uttering a sound, she pulls her bikini to the side, exposing her beautiful mound.  The unspoken order has been given, and we both know what must be done.  

I feel a twitch in my cage, something I haven't felt in awhile.  It amazes me that she can still affect me this way with such ease!  I barely make out her eyes slowly closing behind the lenses of her sunglasses.

She continues to bask in the warmth of the sun slowly making its way west.  Similarly, she basks in the attention I give while gently lapping at her sex.

Trawling on the lake

It's the first time we've been able to get together since the lock down began months ago.  The guys all give me a confused look when they see me.  Their questions start before the boat even leaves the dock.

"Wow, are you growing your hair out?"

"Yeah, well, I haven't been able to make it to the barber yet."

"You've gotten skinny.  Is that on purpose?"

"I've just been living healthier.  You know, eating better and exercising more.  I guess losing weight was a bonus."

"Those shorts are kind of small aren't they?"

"It's been so hot out lately, I'm just trying to stay cool.  Besides, they're pretty comfortable."

"Woah, did you shave your legs?"

"Ha ha, yeah.  I lost a bet to the wife during quarantine.  She reminded me the hair would grow back, so I wasn't too concerned."

But it's amazing how quiet they get when Tom catches a fish and I reach out to pull it into the boat.  Turning around, I see their looks have changed entirely.  

I smile to myself as the realization sinks in.  I turned them all on!

Remembrance: Tina

I’m in a different part of town, but still familiar with the area.  I look back and make sure my car is locked.  It’s the summer after graduation, and my parents are both at work for the day.  This is as safe as I'm going to be.

I see a couple walking towards me up ahead.  My heart starts racing.  I take a deep breath to calm my active mind.  I glance down at my white tank top with spaghetti straps and tiny pink shorts.  

“There’s no way a boy would wear this,” I think.  I remind myself that I CAN pass in public with my naturally small frame and long hair, currently held in back by a clip.  

I force myself to remain calm as the couple passes me.  They talk to each other without giving me a glance.  

I breathe a sigh of relief!  I was wondering if I was crazy to go out like this during the day.  First test - passed!

Then it happens.  I feel a hand on my butt.  My heart skips a beat as I nearly jump out of my skin!  I look over to see a middle-aged woman attached to the hand.

“I thought that was you, Johnny*,” she says casually.  “I like those shorts on you.  They’re very cute!”

“Oh, hi Mrs. Pendleton.  You scared me!”  Mrs. Pendleton was the mother of one of my classmates, Sam.  I feel my face begin to flush, and wish I could magically go back home.

She laughs.  “Yeah, you could say I’m a bit surprised too.  Then again, you never know what you’ll see on your lunch break, huh?”  She looks at me thoughtfully as I scramble for an excuse.

“You know...I was just...I’m doing an experiment for...”

“Oh, honey, don’t even bother.  It’s clear to both of us what’s going on here, isn’t it?  Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me.  I promise not to say anything to your folks.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Pendleton,” is all I can manage while staring at my feet.

“Oh, please, call me Tina.  You know, Johnny, you really should come over swimming at our house sometime this summer before you all go off to college.  I know I’d enjoy having you over, and I’m pretty sure Sam would too.”

I can’t believe my ears!  Mrs. Pendleton just caught me cross-dressing in public, and now she’s inviting me over to hang out at her house?!  What's going on here?!

“Y-yeah, sure.  I’d like that,” I stammer.  My nerves are still frazzled. “Well, I’d better let you get back to work, Mrs....I mean...Tina.  It was nice to see you.”

“Nice to see you too...Joanna?” she asks with a smile.  “Seriously, don’t be a stranger this summer,” she says with a wave, before heading back the way she came.

I immediately went back to my car and drove home as fast as possible.  Tina kept true to her word about being quiet.  I never did make it over to the Pendleton’s that summer.   But every now and then I wonder what it would’ve been like!
