No backing out now

Samantha slowly covered her chest with both arms and turned to the side. She blushed furiously with shame and deeply wished she could hide her ass from Ned's view as well. Ned could only stare at her, dumbstruck at both her beauty and his own shame.

Huffing, Samantha looked down at the inflatable raft. "Fuck...there's no other way."

"What do you mean?" Ned asked.

"We can't walk back. They took our clothes and our car," Samantha said. "We have to ride the raft down the mountain."

Ned nodded dumbly. "O-Okay. If you say so."

"Get in front. I don't want you to look at me."

Ned nervously shuffled to the inflatable raft as Samantha collected the oars. He slowly lowered himself onto the smooth surface as Samantha climbed in behind him. The raft had no separations or compartments in it. Only a large central seating arrangement where the two could sit on the floor and stick their arms out to paddle. Samantha pushed them off from the dock and the two began their journey.

Ned tried to focus more on the surrounding forest than their current predicament. He had to admit the scenery was beautiful. Birds flew over the lush green trees as crickets and cicadas sang in the bushes. Ned stuck his hand in the water and found it was rather warm. He slowly started to forget how embarrassed he was.

Without thinking, he turned around and asked, "How long did you say this could take?"

Before he realized his mistake, Samantha snapped at him. "I said don't look!"

Ned turned around, once again embarrassed at seeing his boss nude, and for making her angry. He continued to paddle for a short while before Samantha let out a small sigh. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you. This isn't your fault."

"I-I understand," Ned said, still ashamed. "I'm really embarrassed too. But the weather's nice, at least. And the forest is pretty."

He didn't know if that would lighten the mood at all. But to his surprise, Samantha laughed. "Yeah, it is."
