Poolside Encounter Melanie felt her heart pumping in her chest. Each thump of the life giving organ inside was a sign she was pushing herself. Her arms ached as the muscles protested from their continued use. Yet Melanie pushed on, feeling the end of her ordeal coming up. Just a little further, almost there! Her lips parted and she quickly inhaled a lungful of rich energy giving oxygen. Her powerful legs kicked and combined with the pull of her arms she finally reached it! Her hands pressed against the smooth tiled wall, bringing her forward motion to a stop. She felt the shifting liquid around her as the wave she had created caught up. Pushing up once more with her arms, Melanie's head broke the surface of the water. "Ahhhhhh...." her chest heaved as she took in some air, holding onto the edge of the Olympic sized swimming pool. Her arm with water cascading down it reached for a timer which was on the surface of the pool deck. Stopping it she looked at the screen subtracting the second or so she used to grab it. Melanie's face broke into a smile as she declared, "Yes!" Her cheer involved throwing her hands into the air and pushing away from the edge of the pool. Floating on her back she stared up at the lights hanging from the steel beams above the pool. She had just beaten her best time, and the college swimmer knew with that, she could make the U.S. Olympic team. Lying back in the water, Melanie took pleasure in the thought for a few more minutes before heading for one of the ladders. The swimmer took hold of the metal ladder built into the side of the pool and with practiced eased, ascended up and out of the water. Her body dripped with cascades of water as she climbed out, her bare feet leaving their wet impressions along with a trail from the pool ladder to where she had put her stuff. Melanie pulled off the goggles she wore over her eyes revealing the bright blue color that they were. Another few steps pulled away her swimmer's cap, revealing her pinned up brunette hair. Melanie reached her spot where some towels and a sports bag were waiting. She took one of the white towels and began to dry herself off. Her physique was one of almost pinnacle fitness. Melanie's long arms were the perfect balance of feminine grace and athletic strength. The same was true for her body which was shown off by the dark blue one piece swimsuit she wore. Melanie ran the towel over the spandex-nylon swimwear which hugged her curves. If she wasn't a swimmer, Melanie's body might have been perfect for a superheroine's who also wore such fitting clothes. After drying her body, Melanie moved down to her legs. These were even more perfect than her arms. Long, with strong muscles which looked just as lovely in a pair of tight fitting pants or stockings, like the tights Melanie had back in her locker. As she moved the towel up and down her legs she reached up and undid the bun her hair was in. It was cut short, down to her chin but when not soaking wet, Melanie styled in a nice bob cut. Even wet though, Melanie had a beauty to her that would not have gone unnoticed. And it hadn't. Melanie was finishing up, putting a few things back in her bag, and tying a towel around her waist. The somewhat damp towel became a skirt for her walk back to lockers. Melanie slung her bag on a shoulder and began heading that way. She left the training pool behind and approached the smaller pool that people used for various activities. Her college's swim team was one of the better ones in the country, so the school had invested well in the aquic gym. There was even some hot tubs for people to relax and ease their weary frames. The swim star was just passing these when she heard, "Melanie? You're Melanie Sims aren't you?" The brunette turned her head to see a coed, her same age, sitting in one of the hot tubs. She was a blonde, with long wet locks that cascaded around her face, and clung to her neck and shoulders. She had grey eyes and what Melanie knew was a lovely heart shaped face. A cute button of a nose and a few freckles on the girl's cheeks, Melanie suspected the girl was a hit with the opposite sex, or same sex she added. "Yeah," Melanie answered wondering if this was a classmate she didn't remember. The girl rose up a little showing off her swimwear. She was clad in a red one piece which featured thin straps over the girl's shoulders. Melanie saw the suit was as well fitted as her own, showing off the blonde's chest, body, and bum quite well. The coed introduced herself, "Hi my name is Amber and I've got to say I'm a huge fan!" Melanie was a little surprised. While the swim team had some fans more often they were from other schools or places. The student body of course cheered them on but it wasn't like they were a basketball or football team. Plus while Melanie was a rising star on the team, she certainly wasn't the most famous. Maybe that would change if I went to Olympics, Melanie thought though somewhat chided herself afterwards, feeling a bit embarrassed from the train of thought. "Well thank you Amber," Melanie responded not sure what else to say. The blonde climbed out of the hot tub and got a bit giddy, "You know ... I always hoped we might run into each other like this. I hope you don't mind but I did watch you practice a bit." Feeling a little self-conscious of someone besides her coach or teammates watching her practice, Melanie rubbed her arm a bit, "Oh that's alright ... I'll admit though it wasn't like competition so I probably had more mistakes." "Oh no," Amber shook her wet head, "No you looked amazing, so graceful, so lovely like you were always meant to swim." Melanie felt more embarrassed now, nobody has described my swimming like that. She was getting a bit fangirled out so tried to make a diplomatic exit, "I appreciate the kind words Amber, and hope you come to the divisional meet. It's been a long day and ... " Amber cut her off before she could finish, "Melanie please can I ask a favor?" "Sure," Melanie answered hoping Amber picked up on the fact she wanted to go. The blonde lead her over to a beach chair which was typical of the many plastic ones you found around pools all over the country. A backpack was there and Amber, despite still being wet and probably cold, unzipped the bag and pulled something out. When she showed it to Melanie the swimmer saw it was a promotion picture of her. She was posed standing in her school swimsuit, hand on a hip, determined but friendly stare to the camera. The school's logo was in the corner and her name was scrolled across the bottom. Amber made the request with a face that showed her heart would be broken if the answer was no, "Could you please sign this for me?" Melanie was still a little off put by her fangirl but it seemed like a harmless enough gesture. She smiled and answered sure which caused Amber to squeal, "Here! I'll get a pen." Melanie took the photo in her hands and admired herself for a moment; guess they did make me look pretty good. She played with the photo a little in her hands while she waited for Amber to hand her a pen. She noticed something written on the back. Melanie flipped it over and saw a message written, To my beloved Melanie, I've loved you since the moment I first saw you swim, and knew that we are destined to be together. "What?" was all Melanie got out before a white folded towel came over her face and was pressed tight against her nose & lips. Amber's arm snapped around Melanie's waist and pulled the swimmer in tight against her. The swimmer felt her somewhat bare back and swimsuit clad bum press against Amber's body. More shocking than the fact Amber was attacking her was the thrill in her voice as their bodies pressed against each other. "Ohhhhh ... .how I've waited to meet you Melanie," Amber cooed into her beloved's ear. Her voice was rich with desire and further fueled by their close touch. Melanie screamed into the towel but her cries were muffled by the fluffy white cotton. As expected, the swimmer struggled violently to try and escape the embrace. Amber squeezed tight showing that she wasn't a weakling. The blonde, some wet hairs still clinging to her face, grinned, "It's alright Melanie just breathe, relax." Melanie of course could do no such thing. Her eyes wide with anger and fear were trying to look back to her attacker. She breathed in rapid excited breathes which unknowingly to the brunette beauty, would only doom her faster. The two women struggled a bit, their bare feet slipping on the textured concrete of the pool floor. Melanie's towel skirt slipped away and soon Amber was holding her ground, with surprising strong legs. "A couple older brothers," she explained to Melanie who was still yelling into her towel gag, "So I know how to hold my own ... in a struggle." Melanie wanted to snap back at this crazy person but she felt her own struggles starting to ebb. What's happening to me? The swimmer thought, why do I feel ... weak? Melanie's mind raced to figure out what was going on. She couldn't be tired already, even after an intense workout, something wad doing this to her ... wait what's that smell? At first she hadn't noticed it but now it seemed to be even more prominent. What at first she thought might be a trace of perfume on the towel or something from the crazed Amber, now Melanie realized was coming from the towel. She paid more attention to the feeling of dampness on the towel. Again, she thought it was from a wet Amber grabbing the towel, but now as one of her hands had gripped Amber's hand to try and remove the towel from her face; she felt that most of the towel was dry. Except the part covering my ... A fresh scream from Melanie signaled she had realized what the towel was soaked with. As a little girl she had enjoyed detective tales and Nancy Drew. A soaked cloth or towel over the heroine's face was always followed by them blacking out.Chloroform! Melanie cried out again her hands trying to pull away Amber's arms. Yet as she gripped the wet limbs of her attacker, Melanie's strength just slipped away. Amber smiled as one of her desire's hands fell to the side and then with a bit more resistance, the other. She grinned and pressed the towel tighter against Melanie's face, "I knew you'd last longer than most, so strong." She squeezed a bit, forcing a gasp from the helpless captive, "But it's alright, this won't hurt you, it will just help you sleep." Sleep was increasingly becoming a good idea to the tiring Melanie. Her muffled protests grew fainter and her eyes were heavy in the sockets. The powerful legs that made her so fast in the water were losing their strength, becoming rubbery and barely able to keep her up. Melanie's arms which she strengthened in her workouts were just as helpless, dangling from her sides. "Mmmmph," was the only sound she could make. Melanie's head felt like it was being wrapped in soft blankets. Her breathing was slowing and each deeper breath she took, brought in more of the soporific which robbed her of equal parts strength and consciousness. Amber, sensing her love was nearing the point of total surrender, lowered the swimmer she admired so much down. Gently, Amber sat on her knees making a pillow with her thighs on which Melanie could lay her tired head. The blonde felt a rush of sensual excitement as she saw how pretty Melanie looked as she near sleep. Her lovely blue eyes were partly open, her head slowly moved, not enough strength to really loll. The girl's swimsuit clad chest, slowly rising with each sleepy breath. The blonde brushed a few stray damp hairs from Melanie's face, "Don't worry Melanie I'm taking you somewhere lovely." Melanie could barely listen as she neared the point of passing out. Sighs escaping her lips as she stared somewhat blankly up at Amber, "There's a pool where you can swim, lovely grounds to explore, and when we've grown closer, we'll get you back in time for the division finals." Amber leaned in her face looking into Melanie's, "It will be a perfect time love." She closed the distance and kissed Melanie on the forehead. After enjoying the sweet touch of her lips to her love's skin, Amber pulled back. Melanie was asleep, her eyes closed, head resting on Amber's thighs. The blonde carefully removed the towel seeing the swimmer's lips were parted slightly. Using a finger she closed them and for a moment, traced the shape of Melanie's lips with her finger tip. Amber rewarded herself with another kiss to the swimmer's lips. "Sweet dreams my love," Amber said following the kiss. Melanie could not answer as she was deep in the slumber brought about by the chloroform, unknowingly in the embrace of her biggest fan.
