Fourth Lake, Chapter 1


Judy’s eyes slowly opened from a blissful night’s sleep.  She had been dreaming, but as soon as she awoke, the memory of the dream fell into an abyss of oblivion.  She was lying on her back; her head lay gently on her pillow.  She was so relaxed that, at first, she had no desire to move.  There was no hurry.  Judy turned her head slightly to her left and noticed that her husband, Phil, wasn’t in bed with her.  Then, she remembered that he hadn’t been there when she went to bed the night before at about 11:00.  There was nothing good on TV at 10:00.  Judy read Les Miserables for an hour before her eyes started to close and she put the book down.  Sleep came quickly and easily.  She turned her head slightly to her right to look at the digital clock on the night table.  It read 6:56 AM.

Phil had told her that he had to work late every night this week, including Saturday, if they were going to be able to get away on their two-week vacation to the Adirondack Mountains. 

Judy sat up and examined Phil’s half of the bed.  Had he been there at all last night?  She couldn’t be sure.  She was a housewife, not a detective.  She felt a momentary twinge of panic.  Had he been in an accident on his way home from Manhattan?  Had he left her and run away with his secretary?  Where was he?  The panic disappeared with the sound of the shower being turned on in their bathroom.  Phil must have awakened slightly before she did and slipped quietly into the shower.  Or perhaps he had just arrived home and went straight to their bathroom.  It didn’t matter; he was home.  She was safe, at least for the present.

Judy got out of bed and started walking toward the sound of the shower.  She was wearing a floor-length, light blue nightgown and the white panties she had worn the day before.  She opened the bathroom door without knocking and entered.  Steam from Phil’s hot shower was starting to form on the mirror in front of the sink.  Judy could see his face, through the transparent shower door, as he looked up toward the shower head while rinsing his dark, blondish hair.  His eyes were closed and he didn’t realize, as yet, that he had company.

“Good morning, darling” she said.

“Oh, Judy!  I didn’t hear you come in.  Did you sleep well?”

“Great!  How about you?”

“So, so.  I got in a little after midnight.  I woke up about 15 minutes ago.  I tried not to wake you.”

“You didn’t.”

Judy noticed his wonderfully tall, masculine body, shimmering from the constant flow of hot water.  For a man of forty, he kept in great shape.  To her, he didn’t look that much different from the first time she saw him, almost 20 years ago, when he was the point guard for the University of Pennsylvania’s basketball team.  It was December 1955 and Judy, as a cheerleader for the Violets of NYU, had made the trip to the Palestra in Philadelphia to help her school to victory.  However, she couldn’t keep her eyes off number 10 in the cute white uniform of the opposition.  His chiseled face and his blonde hair made him look almost too beautiful.  Judy marveled at his muscular shoulders, arms and legs that were not hidden by his skimpy uniform, trimmed in red and blue.  Unfortunately, his cute butt was completely covered by his tight-fitting short-shorts.   

As she was staring at her naked husband, Judy began to have the desire to feel his warm, wet body, up close.  She couldn’t exactly remember the last time they had made love.  He had been so busy lately.  She removed her nightgown and panties and opened the shower door.  Her naked ex-gymnast’s body revealed a slender 5’ 3”, thirty-eight year-old woman, not much altered by having delivered two babies.  Judy’s perfectly-formed breasts and long dark hair would catch the eye of any man.  She felt some of the hot water splash on her body.  It felt good and welcoming.

“Judy!  What are you doing?  I’ll be out in a minute.”

“No.   I don’t want you to leave.”

Judy put her arms around Phil’s neck and kissed him passionately, with her mouth and tongue desperately searching for his.  She wanted to make love to her husband.  He seemed to have been avoiding her for too long.  She found him and cornered him at a time and in a place where he couldn’t escape.  The hot water now poured over them both.  After an initial hesitation, he succumbed to her feminine charms.  Phil returned Judy’s passion and lust.  He grabbed her right breast and her left buttock.  She gently took his erect penis in her soft hands.  After ten minutes, they were both drained and revitalized by their lovemaking.  It was a great way to begin their vacation trip to Fourth Lake.

Fourth Lake is in the Adirondack Mountains Fulton Chain of Lakes, named for Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat.  Fourth Lake, the largest in the chain, is 5.5 miles from Old Forge, New York (population 800), at the beginning of the chain in the west, to Inlet, New York (population 400) at its far end in the east.  Near Inlet on Fourth Lake is Eagle Bay, New York (population 300).  First Lake, Second Lake, Third Lake and Fourth Lake are really one long lake separated by narrow straits.  There is a stream that allows access from Fourth Lake to the much smaller Fifth Lake.  Old Forge is about 270 miles north of New York City.
