Dan stared at the ceiling of the camper van. He figured he must have been awake for at least two hours. The hot and humid night didn’t help, but he mainly couldn’t sleep because his brain wouldn't shut off. He couldn't stop thinking about his failed marriage, the what ifs and what could have been of the past, and the feeling of heaviness pulling him down.
Dan turned to his side. The woman next to him, Lyse, looked to be fast asleep. He could hear her slow, regular breathing. Dan and Lyse became friends in high school and kept in touch ever since. He admired and envied Lyse for her adventurous lifestyle. Where he had married and settled down, Lyse was always traveling. She had been to far away countries, living there for short or long periods of time. But when COVID caused global travel restrictions, she returned home to the USA and bought a camper van. For her, it was the closest thing to a lifestyle of traveling without the need to get on a plane.
Dan quietly got up from the bed. His sleep attempt had clearly failed and he could use some fresh air. In the dark, with his arms stretched to either side, he tried not to bump into a storage cabinet or the side table as he made his way to the front of the van. He opened the blackout curtain which separated the two front seats from the rest of the van. Dan turned his head away as he was greeted by the bright moonlight coming in from the windshield. When his eyes adjusted, he could see Lyse lying in bed in her tank top and panties, still fast asleep. He stepped past the curtain and closed it behind him.
When the divorce was official, Lyse invited Dan to join her for a few weeks to clear his head. The idea to be away from it all sounded appealing. The fact they had to share a bed and space was tight didn't seem a problem to him, they were friends after all. Last week he had joined her on her travels.
Carefully, Dan half-opened the driver-side door, moved to the passenger side, and opened that door halfway as well. A little breeze started flowing through the front section of the van. He slumped down on the passenger seat and took his shirt off, leaving him only in his boxers. He felt the refreshing breeze hit his body and sighed. Dan swiveled his seat towards the driving seat and raised his legs on it.
Dan gazed through the windshield to the moon in the clear sky. Just when his mind started to drift off again, his eyes observed movement down in front of him. Past the parking lot, at the edge of the lake, stood a line of picnic benches. On top of one of them, he could make out a silhouette of a woman. She was on all fours, her breasts jiggling freely in the air. Behind her, a man was stroking himself as he pleased the woman orally. Listening very carefully, Dan could even hear her moan.
Subconsciously he started to rub his member through his boxers. He came to the realization that it had been a while since the last time he had sex. It was probably a few months before his wife told him she wanted a divorce. The sex was plain missionary and didn’t take longer than a commercial break, which was nothing out of the ordinary for them.
Dan looked on as the man straightened himself and the woman backed down from the picnic bench. She leaned over the bench and stuck her ass out towards the man. He eagerly accepted the offering and with a hand on her hips, he pulled her onto him.
Dan felt an irresistible urge as the silhouette of the man’s cock appeared and disappeared into the woman. He wiggled out of his boxers and gripped his now erect penis. Dan started to stroke himself in the rhythm of their movement. He wondered what it would be like to have sex out in the open like that, never having experienced more than the bedroom or the odd couch. What if someone walks by? Or is that just the thrill of it?
"Oh hello! What have we here?" a grinning Lyse popped out from behind the curtain.
Startled, Dan leaned forward to hide his erection and fumbled around his ankles trying to grab his boxers.
"Naughty Dan. I thought I heard something and you weren't in bed so I came to check if you were okay." Lyse peered through the windshield. "But I see you are more than okay. That’s quite a show."
Outside the rhythm of the couple having sex had increased considerably. The breasts of the woman were swaying back and forth as loud moaning mixed up with a lot of agreeing could be heard.
"Might I join you for the show?" Lyse sat down in the driver seat and spread her legs to either side of Dan who was still hunched over, legs together, now having a close-up view of Lyse’s panties.
"I eh… yeah of course…" stammered Dan, who felt caught and ashamed but also intrigued by Lyse’s reaction. He had never thought of Lyse in a sexual way but now, with that close-up view, that was changing rapidly.
"God, look at them go." Lyse gasped, staring at the couple. Her hand wandered down between her legs. She pulled her panties aside and started rubbing her pussy lips.
Dan could smell the sweet scent and his shame melted away. He straightened up in his seat. His cock, still hard as a rock pointing straight up, returned back into view.
