454. BOOK EXCERPT: Explorations ~ David Russell

Explorations ~ Silks Vault Publishing

Cedric wondered if she would be there at the pool this time, and if so, if
she would be wearing the same costume as before. His last glimpse of her in
it held lasting allure–strapless, with sweeping lines straight across the
thighs and down round and up the back. Health now throbbed through him;
thoughts were fresh. Then–yes; it was her. He caught a glimpse as she passed
through the turnstile, had a flash in his mind of her wearing it under her
clothes, and he was helping undo her dress…‘just let life take its course’,
he told himself. The other figures in the men’s changing room did not really
register on him–no competition, no interference. Buttons and zips felt full
of static as he undid them, under her implicit eye. Heart and groin beat in
unison. As he pulled on his trunks, grasped goggles, he felt full-bodied.
The shower in the pool entrance hit his waist, tingling on him as he longed
her body to tingle his. This time he’d show a bold front.

Janice entered to see him on the springboard; with his elevation her heart
lifted. He was wearing the same ones she’d seen him in before–black, smooth,
close-fitting but not too brief–just like the dream. He couldn’t dive
properly, but there was grace and confidence in his jump. Now approaches
need no longer be conscious.

The goggles served Cedric well; he saw full length and depth, costume as
anticipated: just right; her neck held proudly straight, all limbs in
harmony–full but slender, figure trim, in perfect grace.
