Just a little fresh air, just a little sunshine, and maybe just a little...
He loved being out on the trails on his bike. The fresh air and sunshine rejuvenated him, and the quiet solitude relieved him of the stresses of everyday living. It was a cathartic experience.
Today was no different. This was one of his favorite areas for trail riding since it was not a heavily publicized spot and a bit difficult to find, so he was alone with his thoughts and enjoying every minute. The ride wasn't terribly challenging, but he still had to pay attention to his route to avoid an accident. He wasn't a young man - he was approaching 56 - and didn't relish the idea of a broken bone at his age.
People had left their marks on the area, but those marks were respectful of nature and what the area represented to hikers, bikers, and equestrians. He was riding past a small, shaded clearing in which someone had erected a small bench out of the loose, flat stones that were found throughout the area. It resembled the kind of place one would use for meditation. No houses, no road, no cars - isolated and pretty, it was perfect. Expecting to be alone, he was surprised when he heard her voice call out in greeting.
"Well, hello." He stopped his bike and turned his head.
The first thing he noticed was her red hair. He had this thing about red-haired women; something about auburn hair really turned him on. Hers was just below shoulder length and flowed around her face and over her collar. Next he saw her glasses - specs always made a woman look smart, and her eyes sparkled with intelligence behind the lenses. A pretty face was graced by an open smile that revealed even, white teeth. She was looking straight at him from the bench.
"And hello to you," he replied. "Are you enjoying this little bit of paradise?" he replied, dismounting and propping his bike against a tree. Removing his helmet and grabbing his water bottle, he drank deeply.
"Very much," she said. "I didn't even know this place was here until today."
His eyes hidden by his dark shades, he took all of her in - mid to late forties, he guessed, and taller than most women. She was in pretty good shape for someone her ag, and he couldn't help but notice that the top two buttons of her shirt were undone, accentuating the swell of her larger-than-average breasts. The next closed button was actually below them. She didn't seem to care.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked.
"Please do," she answered pleasantly as he sat at the other end of the bench.
The whole situation seemed strange - a woman by herself, far from any habitation, encountering a man she didn't know, would normally have been frightened. But she didn't exhibit any fear; indeed, she was open, friendly, and talkative. Within minutes they knew all about each other - occupations, families, likes and dislikes, favorite places and foods. She laughed easily and smiled a lot, even occasionally touching his arm to emphasize a point. He was glad for the shades since they hid his eyes, and the swell of her breasts in the opening of her shirt was distracting. But she obviously wanted the conversation to continue, picking up the slack when it lagged. They talked like old friends catching up on years of news, or perhaps like a couple meeting on an arranged first date.
Her name was Tammy, and she was a lab tech at a local hospital. Long divorced and the single mother of a twenty-year-old, she had developed some serious survival skills and was a good judge of people. The logical part of her brain was telling her to be careful, but the emotional side was insisting that this was a good person next to her. She went with her gut instinct.
"I just have to get away from it all sometimes, just leave the rest of the world behind and lose myself in nature," she continued.
"Well, there's no place better than this," he opined. "I come here for the very same reasons you do."
"So, do you come here often?" she asked, and they both laughed at the words of the lamest pick-up line in the book.
"Actually, yes, I come here as often as I can," he said. "I actually feel a bit possessive about it, but I'll gladly share it with you."
"Awww..." she replied.
Luxuriating in the perfect weather, she leaned far back as if to take in the sun, arching her back and thrusting her breasts even more against the barely-fastened fabric of her shirt and pulling the placket farther apart. He could see that she wasn't wearing a bra and inadvertently let out a quick gasp.
"Are you all right?" she asked, turning to face him as he quickly looked away.
"Uh, yeah," he replied. "I'm fine," he choked out.
Alone in the woods with a pretty red-haired woman showing me her big tits, so yeah, I'm okay
, he thought. Sensing the effect she was having on him, she continued.
"I didn't think anyone else was here," she said, "and I was about to do something I had never done, just as you came along." He turned back to face her. "You almost got quite the show." She smiled again.
