Nothing on. Nothing on but you. Heat on the sand. My dress on the shore. You look once, look away, then look a little more. Moon on the water. Warm foam at my knees. I walk out slow so you can watch me leave. Your shirt hits the sand. My breath catches in. The tide moves higher over bare skin. I feel your eyes move down my spine. I turn just enough to let them take their time. Step in slow. Don’t make a sound. The tide’s coming up, and I’m pulling you down. Skinny dipping under the moon. Skinny dipping, nothing on but you. Hold me closer, pull me through. Skinny dipping, bare against you. (bare against you—) Wet hair, soft glance. Your hand finds my waist. The tide slips between us, then gives us away. Shoulder to shoulder, mouth almost there. One more inch and we’re out of air. The surf keeps folding high on my thighs. You pull me under by the look in your eyes. Your chest against mine, slow breath, low tide. Nothing between us but the waterline. Step in slow. Don’t make a sound. The tide’s coming up, and I’m pulling you down. Skinny dipping under the moon. Skinny dipping, nothing on but you. Hold me closer, pull me through. Skinny dipping, bare against you. (bare against you—) Leave my dress on the sand. Your wet skin under my hand. Your mouth at my neck. My knees in the waves. I forget the shore when you pull me away. Your hands at my hips. My back to the tide. No one has to know how close we got tonight. Warm water. Low moon. Your skin. Mine too. Bare touch. Salt air. Your hands. Right there. Closer. Closer. Don’t let go. Skinny dipping under the moon. Skinny dipping, nothing on but you. Hold me closer, pull me through. Skinny dipping, bare against you. (bare against you—) Skinny dipping under the moon. Skinny dipping, nothing on but you. Hold me closer, pull me through. Skinny dipping, bare against you. (bare against you—) Warm water. Low moon. Nothing on but you.
