It was a warm sunny day in October. Sophie and I spent a perfect afternoon together, walking in the park, sitting by the river, talking about everything and nothing. We’d only been dating three months, and the excitement of being together was still fresh.
She’d come out in tight black jeans and a thick orange sweater, but with the unexpected autumn heat, she was overdressed, and when we sat down on a bench by the river, she peeled off her top.
“I wish I could take off my jeans too”, she whispered in my ear.”
“Wait till later,” I said. “I’ll help you.”
She giggled and leaned her head on my shoulder. I felt the strands of her wavy brown hair tickling the skin on my neck. In the warmth, our bodies relaxed and melted together.
She rested her arm along my thigh and I pulled her closer and gave her a squeeze, making the front of her low-cut top balloon outwards and revealing her plump, ripe breasts. I noticed that she wasn’t wearing a bra.
“I’m so hot,” she said.
I ran a hand up her skin-tight, black jeans, feeling her firm slender thighs.
“You’re burning. Let’s walk a while.”
We ambled under the shade of the trees. I carried her sweater, and we held hands innocently. We walked alongside the river for a while until we came to a sheltered hollow. Sophie stood by the railing, watching the kingfishers diving in the water. I grabbed her narrow waist under her top, feeling the thrill of bare skin, pulled her closer, and gave the top of her head a kiss. She sighed with pleasure and leaned back against me, wriggling her bottom against my groin, then sliding, then squeezing me—until she felt my instinctive response, and she gave a little squeal of delight.

Later, we found an Italian restaurant with a garden, vines growing up the walls, and a candle on each table. We had spaghetti alla Puttanesca with red wine. In the candlelight, the beautiful skin of Sophie’s arms, cheeks, and breasts seemed to glow. Her moist lips hung open. Her dark eyes glittered and teased and held my gaze for long minutes. Under the table, she pushed off her trainers and rubbed her toes up and down the inside of my calf. We had tiramisu for dessert, sharing a bowl. After each spoonful, she licked her moist lips, holding my gaze.
“You missed a spot,” I said.
I put my hand on her cheek and wiped the corner of her mouth. Very gently, I rubbed my thumb over the bottom lip of her open mouth.
Sophie’s toes reached higher up my thigh until her white socks peeped out from beneath the table cloth.
“Let’s go home,” she said.
We walked home, giggling from the wine, arm in arm, our bodies swaying together.

Back at Sophie’s place, she jumped in the shower without delay, and I lit the lamps, put on some jazz, and lit the fire.
After a long wait, she came out wearing just her summer pyjamas—shorts and a top in matching candy pink stripes, showing off her smooth, bare legs. She was drying her hair. She looked so adorable, so innocent, that I had to grab her.
“Come here,” I said.
She playfully protested, but I pulled her towards me on the sofa. She sat down between my legs with her back to my chest and I smothered her face with kisses and I ran a hand all over her supple young body. She was naked under her pyjamas, and her nipples were erect. I tickled her waist and stroked her slim, tanned legs and teased her until she purred with pleasure and her eyes closed. All her resistance had melted away. Reaching an arm upwards and backward, she held the palm of her hand against my cheek and I felt her back arch, and she parted her legs, so I slipped a hand inside the loose cotton shorts and felt between her legs. She was still warm and a little damp from the shower.
Sophie gave a sigh and turned her head to whisper in my ear. “I’ll do anything for you, Nicky.”
“Anything? Really?”
“Yeah… really. What do you want?”
I kissed her lips, her eyelids, and the delicate shell of her ear. Then I said, “How about a little dance, babe?”
“Okay honey,” she giggled.
Sophie was a good dancer, at any time, but, now that she’d had some wine and she was horny, it was even better. I turned up the music a little. The jazz was slow and oozy.
Taking up a position right in front of me, she slipped her pyjama bottoms to the floor and kicked them away. Then, she let the rhythm of the music take hold, gyrating and snaking her half-naked body, lifting her arms and twisting her hips left and right, but always keeping her dark, liquid eyes on mine, daring me to look down.
