CHAPTER 03
They continued their circuit of the lake, both of them feeling rather miserable by now. Tara was experiencing guilt over her coolness toward Vince, but she wasn't sure just what to do about it. Her guilt inclined her to indulge him, to try to please him with some substitute for her affection. This gave her an idea.
Stopping beside the shore of the small lake, she knelt and dipped her hand in the water. "Hey," she said brightly, "the water's really warm today! We have an hour or so before I have to make dinner. Would you like to take a swim?"
"Oh, yeah, that would be great!" exclaimed Vince. He was still able to enjoy childish pleasures. He sat down in the grass and began to unlace his boots.
Tara was pleased with the effect of her suggestion. The boy looked happy and carefree again. There was just one problem, they hadn't brought bathing suits. Stupid, she thought, why didn't you consider that before you suggested a swim? It was a hot day for northern Canada, and they had been walking a long time; she would have loved a swim. But it was out of the question now. She saw no impropriety in Vince taking a nude dip. With an impatient sigh, she sat down in the grass.
Hot and sweaty, Vince was undressing as fast as he could, paying no attention to the fact that his mother only sat and watched him. When he was naked he bounced to his feet, his limp white cock flapping gaily, his balls bouncing. He eyed the cool blue water hungrily, then ran for it and dived in. Tara noted that he was an excellent swimmer, but more vivid in her mind was the image of his handsome genitals and the profound pleasure she'd experienced while playing with them and sucking his cock...
"Hey, Mother, hurry up!" Vince called from the water. "Aren't you coming in?"
She smiled and waved at him but called back, "Oh, I don't think so, Vince, not today! I didn't bring a bathing suit!"
"So who cares?" he inquired. "We're around the bend from the lodge, nobody'll see you. Come on, Mother, please! I don't like to swim alone. It's dangerous."
Again Tara's conscience nagged at her. Vince was right, of course, one should never swim alone. He might get a cramp or run into some other kind of trouble, and hampered by her clothes, she would be unable to save him. Hesitantly, glancing around to make sure no one else was in sight, Tara began to unbutton her cotton shirt. "All right, Vince," she called, "I'll be with you in a second!"
"Super!" Vince was even more happy and excited than he indicated. He was delighted to have Tara as a swimming companion, but even more delighted to have an opportunity to study her luscious mature body. It would be the first time he'd even seen a woman naked. He dog-paddled furiously, trying to contain his excitement, forcing himself not to stare too rudely while she took off her clothes.
Tara was none too pleased with this development. She didn't see how she could refuse Vince's request, thus exposing him to the perils of solitary swimming, but on the other hand she was horribly embarrassed to appear naked in front of him. Well, she thought grimly, at least this'll cure any infatuation he might have, I'll look like an old cow to him! She blushed to imagine the image she presented to his young eyes. Her legs were still good, she knew that, but the rest of her--hips, belly, and tits--seemed slack and plump, almost voluptuously gross. As she tossed aside her panties, she felt herself reddening all over. But there was nothing for it but to plunge into the water.
Contrary to her expectations--and unknown to her--Vince found her beautiful. This was how a woman ought to look, he decided. Her waist curved in sharply, accentuating the bold bloom of her hips and breasts. Her large white tits were everything he'd dreamed, and more--prettier than he'd imagined, with dainty pink nipples. He longed to touch them. And her small black snatch appeared dainty, too, making him wonder about the mysterious parts which lay behind it. But he sensed Tara's nervousness and embarrassment, and he made no immediate move toward her. Instead he tried to appear oblivious of her nakedness, swimming out into deeper water and laughingly inviting her to follow him.
Tara also was an excellent swimmer, and once in the water, she was glad she'd obeyed Vince's request. She remained submerged up to her neck, not exposing herself, enjoying the delicious coolness which washed away the sweat and grime their walk. At a leisurely pace she swam after Vince, wanting to stay close to him in case of trouble.
"Wow!" Vince yelped. "I just saw an enormous fish!"
"Trout," said Tara. "I have the lake stocked every year. You can go fishing any time you want."
"Great," Vince said. "I'm really glad I came here. It's a wonderful place. In the city--" He stopped abruptly, losing his train of thought. Tara had swum up quite close to him, and in the pure transparent water he could see her huge white tits floating like great melons.
"You were saying?" Tara noticed the direction of his stare and blushed deeply.
"It's--uh--a lot nicer than the city." Vince finished lamely, blushing and withdrawing his gaze from her breasts. Damn it all, he wanted to touch them, play with them, so badly! If only he could think of some excuse!
