Nate gives Samantha his shirt to wipe off with

Nate peeled off his shirt and offered it to Samantha. "Here, wipe off your face with it. It's super absorbent!"

Samantha took the shirt gratefully and wiped her face with it. "Thanks... I... ugh..." she gasped "like the smell?" Samantha cringed internally when when heard the words coming from her own mouth. She hated the smell of sweat, but Nate's sweat, for some reason...

Nate laughed. "Sorry, I'm kind of a smelly guy."

Samantha didn't respond. She felt embarrassed at the smell of her own sweat, but she knew that if she told him that then she wouldn't be able to face him.

"Yo... does, uh, going topless feel cool, Nate?" Samantha asked nervously. Her chest rose and fell rapidly in time with her breaths.

"Yes! Yes it does!" Nate answered excitedly "It feels sooooo good! Why do you ask?"

Samantha's cheeks flushed red. She hoped Nate couldn't read her thoughts. Was she actually debating going shirtless the rest of the way? She had a sports bra, but she'd still be stuck like that for the rest of the run! On the other hand, this would be her last chance to get out of her boiling shirt and not have to carry it the rest of the way. She had to admit that it sounded like a relief. Her breasts felt so heavy and sweaty under the sports bra...

"I just wanted to know if I should try it myself..." Samantha replied quietly "My shirt is too hot and it makes me feel self conscious... I might go out for the run without it later, so I just want to see if it feels good to get rid of it."
