***The following story is being told from Dan's point of view***
I always hated that feeling I get after masturbating. I never understood how I could go from the euphoria of an orgasm to the dirty feeling of wrongdoing in a split second. Today had to be the worst. Getting dressed behind the girls' cabin, and walking back to my cabin feeling the stickiness all over my stomach. Nick and Mike didn't say too much after we got back. We all just got into the communal shower and rinsed away our sin. They did get a little more vocal in the shower though, remembering Gina's tits or Keri's pussy. By the time I had finished cleaning myself, they both were stroking their hard-ons.
I dried off and got dressed, and headed off to the mess hall. I was really happy to run into Ashley. In her own way, Ashley is the most gorgeous girl I've ever met. She's barely five feet tall, and is in good shape from playing softball back at her school. She has curly red hair that meets her tanned shoulders, and beautiful green eyes that I could stare into for hours. Her smile is the kind of smile that captures you and doesn't let go, and it makes the butterflies in my stomach do back flips. She has amazing legs that lead up to a cute ass, and I'm amazed that at her height she can support her 36D breasts. She flashed that beautiful smile at me, and I felt so guilty.
"Hey sexy, you excited about tonight?" she cooed.
"Of course!" I hesitated, and as I was about to confess my voyeuristic adventure from earlier that afternoon, she continued for me, "I know you are, I saw you guys through the screens in the shower room."
"Ashley, I'm sorry."
She kissed me. "Don't worry about it, just keep it on the DL, ok?" I smiled. She is without a doubt the best girl I've ever known. She continued speaking softly as she let her fingers intertwine with mine, "It was fun, but I'd rather be with you any day." No one has ever made me feel so good, I am so lucky.

We had ran into my roommates and hers after eating, and after a long chat, we all decided not to sneak out again, fearing we'd get caught. The sun was showing signs of fatigue, ready to set down for the evening, as Ashley and I strolled along the lake, hand in hand. After awhile of just enjoying the moment, experiencing each other's company, I spoke.
"Ashley, you're amazing."
She blushed, "Oh be quiet, you're just saying that."
"No really, I've never felt so good about myself before, just being with you has made things so much better. I'm not saying they were bad, you just have this thing about you, and it just makes me happy I guess. I feel like I'm closer to you than anyone else, here and at home. I dunno, it's just nice I guess."
She stopped. I turned towards her and noticed her green eyes glistening with the slightest hint of tears. She pulled me into an embrace. Not a hug like you'd share with a relative, but an embrace that conveyed thousands of emotions without the utterance of a single syllable.
