I'll Show You Mine, If.... John K Sutherland

Steve and Barbara met at the lake one summer while Steve had been bathing, thinking he was alone. She hadn't known he'd been swimming at first, so she'd undressed and waded out, not seeing him until she was beyond the jetty. All of his clothes were piled there. He was swimming naked! They both panicked, but neither dared to climb out with the other there. Hell, he was only a boy, probably about thirteen, to her fifteen. She could intimidate him. But she couldn't, and found out that she didn't want to. He was interesting. He was also very shy, even more shy than she was. It was refreshing to see that. They decided to swim up here again on the next day, and the day after that, and even the day after that, and on and on... for the rest of summer. Inevitably, it evolved from there.
