“Don’t worry, there’s nobody but us for miles.” The two had made it to camp late the night before, setting up just after dark.
“I know. I just can’t help it. I’ve never done anything like this before.”
“Comon, it’s not like I’ve never seen you naked before.”
“That was different. That was…it was dark then.” The blush was clearly evidenced in her voice.
“I promise you, it’s the second most fun you can have with your clothes off.” Serenity of the kind only found in unspoiled wilderness encompassed them.
“Fine, I’m coming.” The woman stepped out of the tent, a stunning archetype of rustic beauty. Beside her stood her smiling mate. “But I’m keeping the towel on until we get to the lake.”
“You realize you are ridiculous. The lake isn’t more than fifty yards away.” He walked beside her in nature’s clothing.
“…and you still love me anyways.”
They reached the edge of the lake. She neatly folded her towel and set it on a rock. A breathtaking mountain vista looked down on them from the clear sky. Together, leaning on each other for support, they waded into the crisp alpine waters. Playfully they splashed, water droplets sparkling in the pure morning sunlight.
“You’re beautiful.”
