It was December, and in case anyone didn't know that, all they had to do was look out the window to know. The sky was grey and cold, the trees were bare, and snow covered the tops of everything. The furnace was on in Lana's place, and she kept it so warm she didn't even need more than a sheet and a blanket, but just looking outside into the morning gave her a chill.
Lana was not one to get depressed just by a season, but she found herself really missing her favorite part of the year, summer. She knew a big reason for that now was because she was going through her first winter since she had broken up with her husband. The divorce was going surprisingly smooth and fast, and in a few months Lana would be going into her favorite season as a single woman again, and that was more than enough to keep her excited throughout the winter and spring. At 33, she felt she still had a lifetime ahead of her, and she planned to use it much more carefully than she had before.
Lying in bed, naked under the covers, Lana stared out the window at those empty gardens and snow-covered trees and remembered the last summer fling she'd had before serious relationships had started to take over...
She was 18, and barely that. Leftovers of the birthday cake Lana's friend's had shared with her was still at home in her parent's fridge. Her 13 year old sister Claire was probably snaking on the rest of it right now, Lana thought, but she didn't care anyway. It was June, summer was in full swing, and all Lana could think about was what the next couple months would bring her. High school was over, college would begin at the end of August, but until then Lana didn't even have to work during the break. She had worked two jobs last summer, and her dad was rewarding her this summer by paying her to take it off. The days were hers.
As cool as her dad was about money, he was not so cool about plenty of other things, but they were things he couldn't control now that she was 18, had a car of her own, and had been accepted into a good college. She still lived under his roof, but he couldn't keep an eye her all the time, and with Claire entering the teen years, he didn't have time to.
That was why, as Lana entered the local garden store that day, she was wearing heels, shorts short enough to tease someone into trying to glimpse her butt cheeks, and a top that clung to her body everywhere except at her cleavage, which was open and easy to spot, Lana was sure, from across the store parking lot.
She didn't dress like this for any reason other than that it felt good. It felt good because these were the kind of clothes she was never allowed to wear before becoming a legal adult. They felt good because it was a steamy, humid 96 degrees outside, and the noon sun was blazing right overhead. And the clothes felt god because showing so much of herself after having to keep hidden for so long was an immense turn on for Lana.
As horny as the clothes, or lack of clothes, made her, Lana wasn't looking for sex. If she wanted that, she would've found somewhere better than the neighborhood lawn care store to show off. And besides, despite her dad's attempt to keep her "his little girl" Lana had had sex several times before, and she had no shortage of young men (or older, probably) willing to fulfill her needs should they arise.
No, Lana was just looking to go out and enjoy her new freedom in the sun. The fact that it made her horny was just a side effect.
The store was small on the inside, but she passed through it and went into the back, where the larger gardens were. There was no roof there, just lots of shelves of plants and sod and dirt and weed-killer. But mostly there were flowers, and it was because of those that Lana had chosen to come here. It was Monday, and on Mondays in the summer the garden store always had fresh displays of flowers that were so beautiful that people would often come just to see them. The displays were in the center of the outside area and arranged in a kind of maze, so people could almost literally become lost amidst a sea of flowers of every color. Lana loved to see the flowers, as did a lot of people, and in this small city, it was about as close to a botanical gardens as the citizens could get.
The crowd at the gardens on that Monday afternoon was small due to the heat, but the flowers were still there, and Lana was so excited about seeing them that she momentarily forgot about how good it felt to be wearing almost nothing in public. She took her time going through the maze of displays, trying her best to ignore the pounding sun and heat. Because Lana wasn't allowed to wear skimpy outfits before, parts of her were seeing sun that had never done so before outside of a swimming suit. She was still pale from the previous winter, and her white skin glistened from the healthy coating of suntan lotion she'd applied just before leaving the house.
Though she hadn't been out for very long, Lana checked her arms and legs out to see if they'd begun to tan yet. As she did, she caught a glimpse of a man a few yards behind her, facing her way. Lana didn't think anything of it until she turned around and looked in the direction he was looking to see what had caught his attention. But there was nothing really there. A nice display of annuals was right there next to her, but the guy had seemed to be looking more directly behind her, Lana thought.
Or was he looking at her?
A burn, the good kind, tickled up her spine as Lana realized he must have been checking her out. She didn't turn back to face him, but stayed with her back to him, thinking about what he could see. She knew she was attractive from her head to her toes, but this guy wasn't seeing her face. He could see her long, smooth legs supporting her tiny body and generous chest. Her ass looked great in those shorts, she knew, and the heels, though they weren't very high, only emphasized her form. Her long, blonde hair must have looked particularly bright in the sunlight.
