Lindsey and I hadn't been dating long, maybe one month. But I was head over heels. She was everything that I had been looking for in a girl - funny, smart, sweet, and fun to be around. Not to mention beautiful. She was about 5'10" with long legs, shoulder-length brown hair and eyes that always seemed to be smiling. She was the kind of girl who loved being outside and would play touch football with friends or spend an afternoon fishing. Sometimes we would just sit together and pass a quiet evening watching a movie. She was fine with going out in a t-shirt and with her hair pulled back in a ponytail, and looked as beautiful without makeup as she did all done up for an evening out. In short, my dream girl. We hadn't yet been overly intimate or physical and as much as I was looking forward to that time, certainly didn't want to push things too fast.
I decided it was time to plan a weekend away and rented a nice cabin in a national forest, one with two bedrooms so as not to be too forward. We talked about it and she was excited about the trip. I was excited too but a little nervous - sometimes you learn things about people when you spend time cooped up together, particularly overnight. For her part, she blushed a little and seemed relieved when I told her that there were two bedrooms. We got in late on Friday night and after bringing things in from the car, headed to our rooms for a good night's sleep.
The next morning I woke up to the smell of breakfast and headed downstairs. Lindsay was standing in front of the stove wearing her cute pink pajama pants and a white t-shirt. I immediately noticed the outline of her bra and the waistband of her panties peeking out from the top of her pants. Swallowing hard, I tried to put that out of my mind as I went over and kissed her on the cheek.
"Good morning!" She was her usual cheery self as she scooped eggs and toast onto a plate. I thanked her and poured myself a cup of coffee.
"Lindsey, this is awesome. You didn't have to cook breakfast all by yourself. Why didn't you wake me up to help?"
She smiled. "Oh, it's only fair. You drove the whole way while I slept."
So far, so good. We had a great conversation over breakfast and mapped out our day. We found a nice intermediate trail in the woods, about 5 miles total, that would get us back in time for a good dinner. After dinner, I was hoping to snuggle up with her by the fire and have a couple glasses of wine. I came down first after changing into hiking clothes and getting some supplies together. Lindsey came down about 5 minutes later, wearing khaki hiking shorts, boots, a pink t-shirt, and her hair done in a single braid that fell between her shoulder blades.
"Always wear something visible when hiking, right?" She laughed. "I don't want to get lost and have to decide who eats the other." I kept my immediate thought to myself and opened my pack to show her my stash - a fistful of energy bars, water, emergency flares, satellite radio, and GPS. "Always prepared!" I said. Lindsey nodded approvingly. "Guess we're ready to go!" She bent over to get her bag and out of habit, I looked down to admire her long, beautiful legs and firm ass. I saw a clearly visible panty line which always drives me crazy.
Lindsey stood up quickly and spun around. "Oh," she said while raising her hand. "Almost forgot to mention this to you. I have some allergy medicine in the front pocket of my bag. I'm a little allergic to bee stings and other bug bites, and just thought you should know where they are."
I nodded. "Thanks - I'm sure we'll be fine, but it's always good to have what you need on hand. Why don't I keep a few in my bag just in case something happens to yours?" She smiled and handed a few over.
We headed out to the trail and had a great time. I didn't think it was possible, but Lindsey was even sexier in this settling. She clearly enjoyed being out in the woods and the exertion gave her skin a beautiful glow. She held my arm for a little while and I relished the sensation of her breasts pressed against me. We finished the trail and circled back to the car. Lindsey settled into her seat and leaned back. "What an awesome hike!" She bent over and began to massage her calves. "Ohhhh, I'm going to feel this tomorrow," she said with a grin. "I have a few scratches from all of those thistles too." I glanced over and saw that her t-shirt had ridden up, showing her smooth skin and the waistband of her white panties.
She leaned back with her eyes closed. "Do you mind making a fire after dinner? It should be a nice evening to sit outside."
"Sure," I said. "I had that same thought." After a few minutes, Lindsey opened her eyes and rolled her head on the headrest to look at me. "I'm really glad that we're here. I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time." I smiled back and reached over for her hand.
Just ahead, I saw flashing lights and two police cars blocking the road. I stopped and one officer walked back to the car.
"Sir, the road is closed about a mile ahead. There's a small wildfire that has taken down some trees, so the road will be closed until tomorrow morning while the crews get things cleaned up. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but you'll have to park here and walk to the ranger station." He gestured over the hood of the car. "It's about a mile down that path, and a bus is there to take you and some other folks back to your cabins. You can get a ride back in the morning to get your car."
I looked over at Lindsey, who shrugged. "One more mile is no big deal. We don't want to be out here all night!" She got out and walked over to the path while I parked the car.
It didn't take long to realize that the cop had been optimistic in his assessment of the trail. Not like we had much choice in the matter. Wide at the beginning, the path narrowed quickly and had a lot more obstacles than the trail we just finished. At one point, Lindsey fell hard while crossing several downed trees. I rushed over as she sat up, rubbing her back.
