Down by the river Pt 1 posted in Romance

It was a beautiful day as Julie walked back from school, she'd said goodbye to her friends and taken the long route home down by the river. Jacket slung over one shoulder and shirt buttons opened one lower than anyone who knew her would expect but in this heat she didn't care and besides, so few people came down this way anymore. Not that Julie could understand why, it was so beautiful, so full of life and those simple pleasures that are too often lost among the tall buildings and flash cars.

A short way along the path she pulled her hair back and tied it into a pony, moving aside as a middle aged man came jogging towards her, the gravel path crunching beneath his heavy steps, he nodded thanks as she stepped aside and kept his pace all the way out of sight, but not without looking back with a smile at the gorgeous young thing who made his already tight shorts feel that much more restrictive.

Her pace slowed as she kept along the waterside, watching the ducks and swans with envious eyes. The cool blue water glinting up at her enticingly and bringing back childhood memories of how dad used to throw her in before following right after, making mum furious and her brother nearly wet himself.

The next few minutes were spent reminiscing and smiling stupidly to herself, so much so that she nearly walked right past her exit. She grabbed the handle and twisted before noticing the lock and a large sign attached with cable ties explaining that the path was closed due to drainage problems.

Kicking the metal barred gate with a little more strength than she intended before groaning with pain and frustration, her relaxing walk rapidly turning into a hot, thirsty mistake.

She turned to face the water, determined to calm down and not let this spoil her day. Now there were two options, either back the way she came, or cross the river and walk along the opposite bank. She looked over at the path that would lead her home and sighed, she'd hardly been over there, not since she was a child anyway, most of it was occupied by the owners of the narrow boats which lined the river bank and they'd never been particularly friendly.

She pursed her rapidly drying lips together and shrugged, it was the quickest way home and she was gonna take it, if it upset some old grumps then too damn bad! So with this new found determination she crossed the nearest bridge and walked quickly along the path.

It was so different over here, so much more secluded and wild, the trees on her right overhung the path and their leaves fell gently into the water, giving temporary homes to dragonflies and ladybirds. Every now and then a curtain would twitch and she'd catch a glimpse of disapproving eyes looking her up and down before darting back inside. Shaking her head she pressed on, keeping closer to the wildlife on her right and avoiding the boats as much as possible.

With heavy feet she realized this way home was far longer than she she remembered, even the sun was starting to go down as the sky changed hue and the shadows of the tree's reached out far across the water. It was at this point Julie was considering a break, she'd decided to sit on the waters edge and soak her feet for a moment when suddenly she heard a giggle, swiftly followed by happy voices. Sensing an opportunity for directions or maybe even something to drink she took a chance and followed the voices, down a narrow overgrown path and into a small clearing where a camper van was parked next to a small boat which floated just off the main river. Sat just outside the boat were a man and woman in their mid twenties rolling around on a blanket. The woman was wearing what looked like the man's shirt and he was just in a pair of shorts. Suddenly Julie felt a little awkward, this seemed like a pretty private moment and she didn't want intrude, especially seeing as they were wearing so little!

With that she turned on her heels and was about to tear off when a soft voice called out to her "hey, is everything OK?, you look a little lost" Julie turned to see the two of them sitting up and looking over with wide smiles. Relieved that someone was finally being nice she walked a little closer and begun explaining her situation.

It took no time for the friendly couple to make Julie feel right at home in their little hideaway, sat on the soft blanket and gulping down a bottle of ice cold water. "thanks again for this, I was starting to feel like the world was against me" at that moment James returned to the blanket and begin setting up a small fire "don't be silly, its always nice to have company, even if its just to annoy the boat people" he said it with a warm smile that made Julie melt inside, it was so inviting and friendly that she spent a few too many seconds staring before checking herself and trying not to blush.

When she looked up she couldn't help locking eyes with Sarah, James's girlfriend who was already looking at her, but instead of jealousy or anger all Julie could see was curiosity, as if she were looking for something and was prepared to delve deeper in order to find it. "he's right too, we've been here a few months now and barely heard a word from any of them" her voice was light and causal, along with a smile that only convinced Julie of her sincerity.

The three of them spent the next couple of hours talking about all the things Julie never got a chance to discuss with any of her friends or family, things that seemed to fill her mind with possibilities and wonder. There was something intoxicating about how open and encouraging they both were and Julie thrived on the attention they gave her.

The sun had all but disappeared by now and the sounds of day were quickly fading into the night while the chirps of crickets and scurrying little mammals filled the silences between conversation. Julie had already sent her mum a text, explaining that she was at a friends and wouldn't be home till a little later. Breathing deeply she lay on her back, looking up at the stars while drinking in the atmosphere of peace and and quiet.

Sarah was sat by the fire poking at a few sausages they'd placed placed on a grill when James came up behind and sat down, wrapping every limb around her body and gently kissing at the nape of Sarah's neck causing a intimate giggle before they both glanced at Julie who witnessed the event with a mixture of embarrassment and jealousy. For the second time feeling as if she was intruding.

Noticing Julie's obvious discomfort Sarah smiled and reached back to strokes James's arms "you know you could sit a little closer" that look was back in her eyes again, so warm and inviting as her gentle strokes turned into light scratches on James's skin, causing his shorts to tent a little behind her back, his cock growing harder with every scratch.

Julie was breathing a little harder at this point but she moved all the same, unwilling to seem rude after they'd been so nice to her this whole time.

She took a seat right next to Sarah, looking at the fire, or the floor, anything to avoid the happy couple whose hands were all over each other. "he's gorgeous isn't he?" Sarah said suddenly, causing Julie to look up and blush deeper than ever "oh I ummmm..." James smiled and Sarah placed her hand on Julie's knee "it's OK, I know you think so too" Julie shrugged and looked up with a meek smile "well yeah, I mean he's pretty hot" she tried to sound casual but instead felt like a child with a crush. "Kinda hot yourself Julie" he said in reply, with Sarah nodding and giving Julie's knee a quick stroke before leaning back and pulling James in for a long passionate kiss, a moment later she pulled away and smiled at Julie who stared back open mouthed, her brain racing with images of her own lips in place of Sarah's who giggled and spoke again "he's a great kisser too....you should give it a try"

It took Julie several long seconds before those words registered, Sarah was still staring with that hungry smile on her lips while James looked on, his handsome features so soft and kind, she couldn't help noticing how tingly it made her feel or how deeply she begun to breathe.

It was James who broke the silence Sarah had caused "its ok Julie, you don't have too" he held Sarah a little tighter and she smiled in response "we just both think you're stunning that's all"

Julie could still feel Sarah's hand on her knee as she swallowed hard and looked them both in the eye "its not that I don't want too" she paused for a moment, breathing deeply before concentrating on Sarah "wouldn't it be weird for you?"

They both giggled at that statement before suddenly Sarah pulled away from James's arms and took Julie by the hand, squeezing gently as she leaned in close "it wouldn't be weird at all sweetie, I'd actually love to see it" at this point she took James's hand and pulled him closer too, sat in between the pair she turned to her boyfriend "now show her how a kiss is supposed to be"

Now things really were moving fast, Sarah wasn't kidding and James was so damn close she could see intensity in his eyes, he wanted this too "Come here Julie" His words seemed to melt her resolve, so commanding and yet so gentle it was impossible to resist his request. She edged even closer, their lips almost brushing against each other when suddenly his hand wan in her hair, gently guiding her closer until finally they met, lips smashing together in a long passionate kiss, James leading the way with Julie following excitedly, for a moment she forgot Sarah was even there, too busy indulging in the sweet moment of connection with the hottest guy she'd ever met.

Suddenly she was on her back with Jame's tongue in her mouth and his hands in her hair, it was like he'd known her for years, taking advantage of some intimate knowledge that she'd indulged when in fact he was practically a stranger. "how the hell does he know what I want before I do?" she thought to herself for a moment before being snapped back to the present by the sound of gentle moans. Opening her eyes Julie discovered it wasn't James who was moaning, it was Sarah. Sat just a footstep away Sarah was watching intently while slipping a hand between her own legs, touching herself and enjoying the show.

A flash of images entered Julie's head, images of orgies and swingers, dogging and one night stands, it made her head swim and the tongue in her mouth was helping the fog that had enveloped her mind. Beginning to feel overcome she pulled away, breaking the kiss only to see the surprise in James's face "I'm so sorry but I have to go" Rushing to her feet and smiling as sweetly as possibly "Thanks for everything guys, you're both amazing" With that she turned on her heels and disappeared into the night, racing home while the sounds of giggles and moans fluttered through the trees from the makeshift campsite.
