Shifters with Secrets (An MMF Bisexual Threesome)(36)
He jumped in after her and pushed off the ground with his paddle. The current took them along the river. Alexi gripped the sides of the canoe with white knuckles at first but then relaxed her body when she saw that Ellis was quite skillful with the paddle. He stirred between the rocks and around rapids with ease. She sat in the back enjoying the view of his arms flexing as he deftly maneuvered the canoe.
Normally a guy as good looking as him would be out of her league. She was a bigger girl and she was never the one at the parties that the men would approach. She thought of herself as ugly. Greg had drilled that into her head, always calling her fat and disgusting. He always told her that he was dating her as a favor to her parents. That if it wasn’t for him she would die alone.
Ellis looked back at her and smiled. Droplets of water ran down his face and arms. He put the paddle on his lap and pulled his shirt off over his head in one swift movement. “Almost there,” he said, dunking the paddle back in the river.
It was a strange feeling, not one that she had felt in a very long time, but she felt sexy when she was around him. She saw him several times, staring at her out of the corner of her eye. It wasn’t creepy. He just seemed to be admiring her body. She could tell that he was gazing at her face like it was a masterpiece when she was watching the stars last night. It felt good to be looked at with want.
With desire.
“Ellis,” she said. He turned around with a hopeful look on his face, like a puppy dog waiting to be bought at a pet store. “I’m happy to be spending the day with you.”
The happiest grin that Alexi had ever seen burst onto his face.
A few minutes later the ride got a lot rougher and bumpier as Ellis turned up a small river snaking out of the forest. He paddled against the current. The current was hard and there was no way they should have been able to travel up it without a motor but they were. Ellis paddled hard and the canoe cut through the water like a salmon swimming up stream. Alexi was enthralled watching his powerful arms work. The paddle was moving so fast that it looked like a blur. I must have water in my eyes. His shoulders were jacked from the effort, his back muscles ripped.
He maneuvered around a bend and as the trees gave way a beautiful waterfall came into view. It was like a private oasis in the middle of the forest just for them. It was as if nature had spent the past ten million years setting up this perfect paradise in anticipation of that afternoon. The three story waterfall flowed over slick rocks and landed in the blue lagoon below. The sound of the falling water mixed with the chirping of birds made a soothing soundtrack. Ellis paddled further in and they were surrounded by trees. They were cut off from the world. Just the two of them able to do whatever they wanted without anyone disturbing them.
Alexi dipped her hand in the water. The bright sun cascaded down onto the pool warming it up like a nice bath. The rays reached out and heated the small sand beach, which Ellis rowed the canoe onto.
“So what do you think?” he asked, helping her out of the canoe.
She was speechless. She had been all over the world but had never seen such natural beauty before. Ellis fit right in.
“Do you come here often?” she asked, looking around.
He chuckled. “Now we’re even.”
“What?” she looked at him confused.
“Your bad pickup line cancels out my bad pickup line. Now we can really start from scratch.” He reached in the canoe and pulled out the cooler.
They were a long way from scratch. He was way ahead as far as she was concerned.
He opened the cooler and pulled out a large blanket. He unfolded and spread it out on the sand.
“Let me help you with that,” she said, grabbing a corner.
“No, no, no,” he said, shooing her away. “I want to treat you. You should go swimming. The water is really warm. There’s a nice cave under the waterfall.”
She was in need of a wash, but she didn’t have her bathing suit.
Fuck it. Time to throw caution to the wind.
She faced the waterfall with her back to Ellis and pulled her shirt off over her head. She heard a hard swallow behind her as she unhooked her bra and tossed it on the blanket.
“I have your bathing suit,” he said. “I wanted to surprise you so I went in your bag and found it. I hope you don’t mind.”
She looked over her shoulder as she unbuttoned her shorts. “Keep it,” she said. She slid her pants and underwear off and kicked them into the sand. She ran into the water without looking back.
The sun was hot and the water was warm but the real heat came from Ellis’ hungry eyes staring at her from behind.
She dove in when the waterline crept up over her knees and felt the refreshing water coat her naked body. She swam towards the waterfall feeling a thrill run through her as the water tickled her bare sex. What had gotten into her?
She had never been so willing to get naked in front of anyone before. And never in the bright sunlight. But she felt safe around Ellis, as if he was totally accepting of her body and even turned on by it.
She ducked under the waterfall and popped out on the other side. The water was shallow under it and when she stood up the waterline was below her waist. There was a small cave behind the falls like he had said. Not much, just a ledge to sit down on.
She looked through the falling water at Ellis’ blurred shape on the beach, watching her. Alexi had always been self conscious about her weight. She had a lot of curves but none of them seemed to be in the right places. She despised how she looked naked, but now, with Ellis, she wasn’t concerned. She felt accepted by him, even sexy. She wanted him to see her.
