Alex had just arrived at his last landscaping job of the day. What had started off as a summer gig cutting neighbors lawns had grown throughout high school and college into owning his own landscaping company at the age of 23. He now had four guys working for him and business had never been better. Between word of mouth referrals from his existing customers and the fact that his mom and all of the agents in her real estate office constantly used his company to clean up listings and also passed along referrals to new home buyers, he seemed to be gaining new customers each week. He had the four employees working in teams of two and then he supplemented by covering several regular maintenance customers on his own. Alex could cover as many customers in a day alone as his two man crews usually did so he was usually pretty worn out by the end of the day.
Tuesday’s last stop was to cut and trim the grass and check the backyard landscaping for a guy named Mark who lived alone in a great house. Alex had done some of the landscaping installation but the homeowner had done quite a bit himself. Because of the job Alex had done, Mark contracted him to come for the weekly maintenance. He usually scheduled this stop for the end of the day as he lived only a couple miles away.
It was a typical hot sunny day and Alex had finished the lawn out front and moved around back to check the landscaping around the pool. So far, everything looked good and the watering schedule for the sprinklers seemed to be working well as it all looked pretty healthy. Alex had to admit that the landscape design and fencing the Mark had put in back here really created an awesome escape. Not to mention the pool which was glistening a very inviting blue. Just as Alex was lost in thought taking in the beauty of this very private backyard, he heard the sliding door open and turned to see Mark coming out onto the patio.
“Hey Alex, the lawn and landscaping looks great. I’ve really been happy with the job you and your guys are doing keeping it looking good.”
“No problem sir. It’s a well designed plan and it’s a pleasure to keep it up for you. “
“Alex, drop the sir man. Call me Mark. Can I offer you something to drink? It’s been a hot one today. I was just gonna grab a beer if you’d like to join me. “
“Wow, sir, I mean Mark, yeah that would be great. It has been pretty hot this afternoon and I was non stop all day. I may be having to bring another guy onto the crew to keep up. “
Mark handed Alex a beer from the patio refrigerator which he opened and took a long draw off.
“Man, that hits the spot at the end of a hot day. “
“Alex, you know that you are welcome to jump in the pool to cool off anytime you want. As much as I love having it, it seems like it is empty a whole lot more that it gets used.”
“Mark, that is a great offer and I really appreciate it. I will definitely keep that in mind. “
“I usually go for a swim when I get home from work. You are welcome to join me today if you’d like. “
“Mark, I would join but I don’t want to track all these grass clippings that are on my shorts into your clean pool and I don’t have a clean pair of shorts with me. “
“Alex, no worries man. You might have noticed that the yard is pretty private. None of the neighbors can see in here so you could just drop the dirty shorts and swim in your boxers.”
“Only one problem with that Mark. I’m not wearing any boxers.” Alex replied with a chuckle.
Mark stood up and pulled off his golf shirt then dropped his khakis revealing that he was also feeeballing.
“As you can see, that’s not really a problem either.” Mark said as he headed for the pool.
Alex thought for a moment and decided that the pool was too inviting and he stood and dropped his clothes. He walked naked to the far end of the pool and dove in. The water felt amazing after a long day out in the hot sun. It felt especially good since he was swimming naked. Skinny dipping had long been one of his favorite things and he did it every chance he could. Alex just never thought he would be joining one of his customers for a nude swim on a Tuesday afternoon. Mark was a great customer and a pretty nice guy to get along with. He was only 5 or 6 years older than Alex but came across more as a friend than anything. “
“Mark, thanks so much for letting me cool off. This is such an amazing backyard. “
“Alex, feel free any time. I love being able to cool off at the end of the day back here. And as you might have figured, the main driver behind all of the landscaping and fencing was making it so I could skinny dip day or night. “
“I can see that Mark and I don’t blame you. It is my favorite way to swim. From the looks of your tan, it looks like you spend a lot of time in the sun naked.”
“Yeah, have to admit I do. My ex wife hated it but she is gone now so I can do as I please. Alex, it looks like you are no stranger to it either.”
“Yep, every chance I get I head over to the nude beach or sometimes get away for the weekend camping. Well, actually not true camping. I rent a cabin at a campground. I’m not really into tenting it here in Florida.”
“Hmm, I didn’t know that there was a campground that was clothing optional around here. Is it a far drive?”
“No actually it only takes me a little over an hour to get there. I will usually reserve a cabin and spend the weekend enjoying the pool and getting some sun. A couple times, if I wait too long to reserve, I’ve actually stayed in what they call their bunkhouse. Prefer to get my own cabin but the bunkhouse can work too.”
“Sounds like a good time Alex. Maybe I’ll have to check it out some weekend. How did you find it?”
Alex thought back to that conversation last year when his buddy had suggested a weekend away. Needing a break, Alex was more than ready to take off when his buddy stopped by Friday after work to pick him up. All he had been told was a weekend camping staying in a cabin at this campground. His buddy hadn’t been there before either and neither one of them knew what to expect. One detail his buddy was aware of that he hadn’t shared with Alex was that it was predominantly a gay campground. When they got there and checked in, they found their cabin and unloaded their bags and a cooler full of beer. The cabin was decent and had two beds and a small bathroom with shower. Best of all was the front porch which overlooked most of the campground.
They had each grabbed a beer from the cooler and walked outside to the porch to enjoy the first beer of the weekend. Just as they were sitting down, two guys came out onto the porch across from them, also each with a beer in hand. The main difference though was that their neighbors were completely naked.
“Actually, Mark, my buddy and I discovered it last summer. We made it all the way there and were sitting on the porch of our cabin before we found out that the whole campground was clothing optional. It didn’t take us too long, well maybe a couple beers, to join in and strip down.”
“That’s cool man. Guess I will have to check it out. “
Alex realized that thinking about that first weekend with his buddy at the campground as well as Mark saying that he was going to have to check it out combined to make his cock start to stir. Looking down, he saw that he was rock hard. He found himself hoping Mark didn’t notice his hardon. It was not unlike that first weekend at the campground when he was concerned about his buddy Mike seeing him hard. Of course, Alex and Mike quickly got over any embarrassment about being hard in front of each other and actually wound up putting those hardons to good use.
