I sigh contentedly. This is the life.
Lying in the shade of the big elm tree at the edge of the clearing, watching the forest.
A warm, pleasant breeze rustles through the leaves, making the sunlight filtering down to the forest floor skip and dance. The air is heavy with the fragrance of wild flowers. Everywhere around me I can hear the busy humming of bees.
Stretching languidly, I fold my hands behind my head and fight a loosing battle against drowsiness.
Everything seems so peaceful.
If I concentrate, I can just make out the murmuring of the little creek from across the glade. I close my eyes and slowly drift into the serene transition state of semi-slumber.
It doesn’t get any better than this.
Her footsteps wake me. She is approaching slowly; the sound of her bare feet swishing through the grass is barely audible.
She stops, and I smile up to her.
I feel the closeness of her body as she lies down by my side. The gentle warmth of her skin as she cuddles up to me. For a moment we lie there together in silence. Then she props herself up on one elbow, bending down her head to cover my face with a mass of curly hair. Slowly she runs a finger over my naked chest.
“I’m bored, Adam. Let’s go do something fun.”
