“Nat, we can’t,” you say with a soft laugh, glancing over at the blonde beside you. She’s already pulling off her shoes, her socks landing carelessly in the sand.

She rolls her eyes playfully, fingers moving to the button of her denim shorts. “Why not? It’s just a couple of fish—”

“I’m not worried about the fish!” You hesitate, shifting your weight as you watch her shimmy out of the shorts and toss them aside. “What if someone sees us? Skinny dipping is… risky.”

Natalie only grins, unbothered as she peels off her shirt, leaving her in nothing but her bra and underwear. The flickering moonlight catches on her skin, casting silver highlights over her bare shoulders.

If there’s one upside to crash-landing in the middle of nowhere, it’s privacy.

Back home, you never had this freedom. Being out in public with your girlfriend always felt like walking on a tightrope, one misstep away from judgmental stares and whispered remarks. But here? It’s just you, your closest friends, and miles of wilderness.

No stares. No prying eyes.. No one to see Natalie reaching behind her back, unclasping her bra without hesitation.

“Are you scared?” She teases, stepping into the water, the gentle waves lapping at her ankles. She turns to look at you over her shoulder as she continues walking, smirking. “Everyone’s asleep. Get in here.”
