"Oh my God, this heat is ridiculous!"
David looked behind his shoulder at the young woman, nodding in agreement. For the fourth day in a row, the sun had punished the state with an unrelenting curtain of humidity and heat. He dipped his hands into the beer cooler to splash the relief of icy water on his bare back, but the ice had long since melted, leaving only a lukewarm pool of water where a single can of beer floated.
The girl who had been complaining approached David, investigating the cooler as well. "Any more beers, big guy?"
"Just one," David told her, handing her the can. "It's pretty warm though, Shelly."
David was a muscular young man at six feet tall, with short dark hair, a lantern jaw and broad shoulders. Being as tall as he was, he stood just the right height to get a glimpse down Shelly's shirt without it seeming obvious. He gave her a smile, dropping the beer into her open hand.
Shelly scowled a bit, holding the barely cool can of beer in her fingers before dropping it back into the cooler, where it splashed water back out onto the deck.
"Ehhh, I think one of you boys are gonna have to make a beer run."
David shrugged in a non-committal gesture, it was clear he didn't want to drive the fifteen minutes to town. "Us boys made the last beer run, it's time for one of you girls to drive out."
Shelly walked away, grunting in disgust----more at the searing heat than the lack of beer. As she wandered over to the edge of David's in-ground swimming pool, he stopped to admire her figure for the fifth time that day. She was six inches shorter than him, thin and lithe, with short blonde hair that was matted with sweat from the summertime heat. She didn't compare to his girlfriends' bust, but she had more than enough cleavage to keep his fantasies fueled. However, Shelly had been dating his best friend Gary for several months now, so he tried to keep his thoughts to himself.
It didn't help, he thought pointedly, when she would occasionally jump into the swimming pool to cool off, as she was doing right now. Since David had installed the pool, Gary and Shelly took every opportunity to visit David and Lori. His place was secluded, far from town, with the nearest neighbor at least a mile away.
Shelly dove into the pool, swam around for a few minutes, and re-emerged with a big grin on her face. Her t-shirt was soaked, clinging to her skin and hugging her contours....contours that were not, he noticed, restrained by any bra or bikini. She had been slamming down beers over the last few hours, which made her dangerously flirtatious. Gary immediately turned away from Shelly, pretending to fiddle with the grill. If Shelly caught the twinge in his shorts, he would have been beyond embarrassed, and she was the type of girl who loved to see men stare at her.
"Better not let Gary catch you checking me out, Davy," she taunted from the poolside.
David turned to face her, momentarily at a loss for a clever comeback. Just a few seconds before she wrapped an oversized red towel around her body, he caught a glimpse of stiff nipples. He was about to speak, when his girlfriend Lori stepped out onto the patio.
"Aw damn, I was hoping it would cool off a bit by now," she moaned, shielding her green eyes from the sun. Lori pulled her shirt off, revealing a tempting pair of generous breasts restrained only by a green and blue bikini top. Her long dark hair cascaded over her shoulders and chest, with a tight little ass that just completed the package. She was a bit heavier and taller than Shelly, but her dark, exotic features made her infinitely hotter in David's book.
Of course, he had always been curious about Shelly....especially when she so aggressively flaunted her charms.
"Yo, Davy!" bellowed a fourth voice. David turned around, just in time to see a tomato-sized yellow object hurtling towards his face. He closed his eyes and tried to dodge when he quickly identified it as a water balloon, but he couldn't move anywhere near fast enough. He caught the full impact of the balloon on his cheek, and it exploded in his face.
"Fuck!" screamed David, half-laughing and half-shocked. Wiping the water out of his eyes, his blurred vision could just make out the shape of his friend trying to make an escape around the deck. Hurtling towards Gary like a rabid linebacker, he body tackled his friend like a freight train, sending both of them into the swimming pool.
The girls were still laughing when David and Gary came up for air, and the guys quickly joined in.
"You're a dick," Gary said, still coughing up water but genuinely laughing.
David pulled himself out of the pool, panting for air. "Yeah, I think that's enough exercise for one day.....just running across the backyard in this humidity nearly killed me!"
Shelly knelt down by her man, helping Gary out of the pool. "Yeah, well I got more bad news for you, honey. David didn't get enough beer!"
"Oh crap, we out?" Lori asked, immediately checking the cooler. After finding the one warm can of beer floating in a pool of hot water, she stamped her foot in frustration. "Wow, I'm surprised this water hasn't evaporated yet."
"Which of you girls are gonna go for some more beer?" asked Gary hopefully.
"You guys drank most of the beer, you should get it," Shelly laughed, as she rubbed Lori's shoulders. "Maybe we girls wanna stay here and make out."
"Ooh, yeah baby," laughed Lori, playfully bumping her hips with her friend.
"Yeah, right," Gary smirked, rolling his eyes. "What would the neighbors think?"
"That's why I bought this house way out here in the country," David pointed out. "My nearest neighbor couldn't see us with binoculars. We can have orgies out here and no one would know."
They all laughed at the suggestion, but David could swear that out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shelly softly bite her lip at the suggestion.
