Ch 40: Wet and Wild

Thanks to Katie’s help, I was able to gain access to Luke’s backyard the next day. Katie told me that the director changed the shooting schedule to allow Alicia more time to prepare for the water scenes. So, Luke would be shooting a different scene that day. It was perfect because it allowed me ample time to set up my plan.
When Luke came home, I heard the garage door open. I texted him to come out back, hoping he wouldn’t ignore my message. In a few minutes, I heard the sliding glass door to the pool deck open, and Luke saw me emerge from the new tent he had ordered weeks before.
I set up the tent in the yard, again, thanks to Katie’s help in locating it. I wasn’t brave enough to actually prepare a camping expedition, but at least a backyard adventure. “Surprise,” I said, biting my lip, hoping Luke wouldn’t throw me out on the spot. “Luke, I’m so sorry.” I walked over to him, trying to read his face. I couldn’t tell if he was angry or just contemplating my surprise.
“I don’t know what came over me,” I continued. “I didn’t mean to shut down. Please. I just want you to know, I think you’re great for wanting to save everything. And how much you care. I mean,” I said, not knowing where to stop. I could have babbled on forever, but Luke put his finger to my lips.
“Shhh,” he said. “I get it. I pushed you too hard.”
I shook my head, trying not to let him take the blame. “No, I know you were just trying to help and save the movie. I shouldn’t have criticized you for that.”
He nodded. “That definitely made me angry. But you were right. I was just thinking of what I wanted.”
“No, you care so much about what you do. I love that about you.” I buried my head in his chest. He looked down at me and kissed me softly on the lips.
“I care about you too,” he said and kissed me again. My heart raced. I felt relieved Luke didn’t hate me.
“I know I shouldn’t have run away. Just…everyone looking.” He stroked my arm and nodded.
“You shouldn’t put so much stock into what those people say. I keep telling you, you’re beautiful.” He looked in my eyes and brought his hands to my waist.
“I’ll work on it. I’m sorry.” He hugged me close, caressing my butt.
“So what’s with the tent?” he asked, looking over my shoulder.
“Well, I know you like camping and haven’t had time to use your tent, so I set this up for us.” I led him by the hand to the tent. When I opened the flaps, he could see I’d set up two sleeping bags along with some lanterns and a few supplies. “I even brought s’mores for the fire pit.” I pointed to the bag of food in the corner.
“Nice,” he said. “I am pretty hungry.”
After a little help from Luke getting the flames burning in the fire pit, we roasted hot dogs and then s’mores as the sun fell behind the nearby hills. We sat snuggled together, talking about how we liked to be outside, even though I preferred the beach and Luke preferred the mountains. I told Luke about my need to chew gum when I’m nervous or upset, and he showed me his fingernails, chewed down to the skin.
“If this were a real camping trip and we were at a lake, it would be a nice night to swim in the moonlight,” I said.
Luke looked at me with a glint in his eye. The sky continued to darken as a nearly full moon illuminated the ripples on the pool’s wavy surface. I started to dance in front of him as he sat on the chair, seductively shaking my hips. He took my arm and started kissing it from my hand to my shoulder.
I sat on his lap and kissed him hard on the lips, then pulled off my shirt. He rubbed his head between my breasts as I tilted my head back. In between kisses, he looked in my eyes. I undid the button on his shorts. We stood up, and he shimmied down his shorts and stepped out of them.
He pressed his hardness to my body and kissed me more forcefully. His lips on mine caused me to gasp a little for air. I looked at him with a slight smile as I undid the button and zipper on my jeans and pulled them down. I stood in the light of the moon in just my bra and underwear. Luke tore off his shirt and stood bare chested before me.
I bit my lip, as Luke looked at me with lust in his eyes. I wanted to please him, to show him I could be confident. I turned and walked toward the pool. Luke followed and then grabbed me to spin me around. I motioned for him to stay as I took a few steps back toward the edge. Once there, I unhooked my bra and let it fall to the ground. Luke didn’t take his eyes off me.
Then I pushed down my panties and wiggled them to my feet before stepping out of them. Naked, I stood against the backdrop of the water, the moon spot lighting my body. I let Luke stare as I cocked my head and licked my lips. My nipples hardened with the cool night breeze. When he stepped towards me, I turned and performed a perfect swan dive into the water.
Luke jumped in after me. I swam up to him and wrapped my arms and legs around his body as he stood on the pool’s bottom at four and a half feet. I kissed him hard on the mouth, letting his tongue quickly pulse in my own. He ran his hands over my behind and then along my hardened nipples. I dove under the water and pulled down his underwater, throwing it off to the side of the pool.
My hand found his penis and stroked it beneath the water. His hand caressed between my legs, the water keeping me moist. He carried me over to the step of the pool by the shallow end and sat down while I straddled him. The water made his entrance into me easy as we pulsed with the current of the waves.
When we were done, I floated on my back, my nipples peeking out of the surface of the water. I could feel Luke’s eyes on me, as intense as the moonlight pelting my skin. I didn’t feel like a whale, but rather a fierce and sexy water goddess.
After drying off, we snuggled together in the tent, using one sleeping bag to lay on and the other as a cover for both of us, I laid my head on Luke’s shoulder. “I can do the scene if you need me,” I said.
“No, it’s OK. I was wrong to push you.”
“I can do it. It’s a great opportunity you’re giving me.” I kissed his shoulder.
Luke rolled over to look at me. “Are you sure? I mean, I think you’ll be great. But I can’t help that people will be watching you. It’s kind of how movies work.”
I laughed. “I know. But I believe in what you’re doing. And that Alicia chick is terrible.”
“I know.” Luke let out a big sigh. “She’s great on land, just terrible in the water. I can’t believe they cast her.”
“Well, she looks good.”
“Yeah, dry. Otherwise, she’s in over her head.”
He brought my hand to his mouth and kissed it. “I just know you can make it better. Be confident. Be that beautiful moonlit goddess like you were tonight and everything should be fine.”
We lay back, holding hands. Looking at the top of the tent, I could see the bright moonlight shining above. I smiled, hoping that together Luke and I could save his movie and our relationship.
