Excerpt:
Stripping in the woods brought a thrill all of its own.
The first few times Noah had taken his clothes off were lodge in his memory. Noah had taken them off nervously, keeping only his little briefs on but venturing no farther than a few paces and running back to his clothes when he heard so much as a bird call or a twig snap.
In recent months, running naked and alone in the woods had been a way to pass the time during the nationwide lockdown due to covid-19. Schools were closed and so were gyms, cafes, libraries, etc. The opportunity to be outside was almost luxurious and the opportunity to be naked too was too good to pass up. Dog walkers and runners sometimes used the woods but most people didn’t venture too deeply into isolated places by themselves. Noah never felt threatened in the woods – this wasn’t Midsomer county.
He had told Daniel about his nudism and an embarrassing event involving a charity collection – that had got Noah wondering how else to explore his sexuality and naked interests.
The first time Noah stripped completely starkers in the woods was six months ago, a few weeks after turning fifteen. Noah ventured into Barron's Woods wearing trainers (no socks), shorts and t-shirt and a hoodie; it had been a Saturday in November but the temperature had reached fifteen degrees that day. He jogged for twenty minutes along the path that roughly followed the edge of the woods, though to get to the proper border he'd have had to push through bushes and bracken. Mud had kicked up as he ran, spattering his silky legs – the mucky boy needed a shower when he went home. After twenty minutes of running, Noah cut onto a path less travelled, venturing deeper into the woods, and came to a small clearing.
It was the middle of the day but he hadn't seen a soul. Noah took off his trainers and felt damp grass underfoot, the sensations travelled up his hairless legs which were already tingling with excitement. Noah unzipped his hoodie and slipped it off so he wore only a t-shirt and shorts. He put the hoodie and trainers into his backpack and peeled off his t-shirt so he was topless; his nipples were hard enough to cut glass and plops of water from the trees above dashed themselves on Noah’s bare shoulders. Noah’s dick was hard too and this time felt different to any other time when he'd taken his clothes off – because he was outside and in lieu of underwear, shorts were his only item of clothing.
Fucking hell!
Noah dropped his shorts to his narrow ankles and was totally naked.
