I place my toe in the water. A golden ripple grows across the glowing surface of the lake. The lake doesn’t normally attract much attention. It’s set behind a forest and usually ignored or forgotten. There are a few people that know it’s beauty but this evening they’ve chosen to stay in.
Misty and I strip down. I run and jump off a rock into the lake. I let the cold water consume my naked body and chill it like a thousand stabbing knives. I emerge from the water. The dry, summer air attacks me full force. Nature, however, decides it wants to be nice. The chill of the water balances the heat of the air and I feel no effect from either.
Water splashes in my eyes as Misty jumps in. Goosebumps run up my body as the water rises to my shoulders. Misty surfaces in front of me. The setting sun compliments the profile of her naked figure.
“The water feels so nice,” she says lazily as she falls back onto the water and allows herself to float.
“Yeah, I’m glad you invited me to come skinny dipping,” I say treading water.
“It’s not skinny dipping. It’s being at one with nature.” She laughs. It’s a soft, pleasant sound that goes nicely with the setting sun. “See Kissy? Adam and Eve were created naked. Animals, a part from pampered lap dogs, don’t were clothing. That’s all we are Kissy, animals in clothing. But right now we’re in our natural state. Everything is the way it should be.”
