“I'm keeping my bad thoughts to myself Lex.” He smiles as he gets up and leaves the room. “Had a good time did you?” He calls out from the landing.
“Very pleasant, thank you very much.” I call back. I hear his laughter echo as he descends the stairs.
I pick up my phone and have a quick look. I have a message from Mum and one from Kel. Mum says she hopes I'm having a good time. I text her back.
“Having a wonderful time. Perfect in every way.” She can think about that for a while, I smile to myself.
Kelly's message is rather garbled. It sounds like she's been drinking.
“Got whirl on the go-go and Alex is a hottie of the highest order.”
I reply to her message.
“He is that... And how's the blue kid and white snake coming along?”
I'm just about to put the phone down when another message pops up from Toni at work.
“Tell me!!! Everything!!!”
“Call me.”
A minute later she calls.
“And...”
“Oh my God Toni... It was hot, hotter just about as boiling hot as you can get. I can't even explain it.”
“How long did it go on for?”
“ALL NIGHT.” I say loudly.
“NO.” She squeals.
“It was indescribable. Simply amazing. Fantastic. Shocking. Perfect. Wonderful.”
“Okay, don't make me too envious.”
“Oi, you've got hot lover boy Bren on tap. He's taking me for coffee at the mall later, by the way.” I weave my little half truth into the conversation.
“Keep your oversexed mitts off my hubby.”
“He's quite safe. I don't have any energy left.”
“See you later then, have a nice day... Honestly Lex...!” She giggles and ends the call.
I'm smiling all over as I get up and go into the bathroom to run the bath. Fifteen steamy salty minutes later I'm feeling a lot more comfortable down under and ready to take a short stroll with my dear brother in law.
I get ready and go downstairs.
“Okedoke... Let's roll.” I announce with a smile.
We set off for the mall.
“What are you looking for?”
“Jewelry, I think.”
“What exactly?”
“Maybe some earrings, or a bracelet. What d'you think?”
"I think she'd love a Pandora bracelet."
“We'll look for one of those then.”
We arrive at the mall, park up and sit in the car for a minute. He looks at me with a concerned expression.
“You're looking so much better now.”
“That's good.”
“Be careful Lex.”
“Why?”
“You and Alex... Try and keep it fun and light-hearted, however difficult that may be.”
“Don't you start as well. Toni said the same thing. I can cope.”
“Look, Alex isn't one to take anything lightly. He's serious, about everything he does. Very serious. Believe me, I know him quite well.” I have already noticed this. He isn't a fun, light-hearted person. He is intense and focused and oh so serious. I'll have to get him to lighten up.
“I know already, okay! I can handle it. Twenty four days and I'm going home.”
“Just keep that in mind. Come on then sis, let's find a Pandora.”
We leave the car and go in search of the hottest bracelets in town. This idea works well for me too as I can buy her some charm beads for it.
We arrive back late morning with our Pandora and other purchases. I lie down on the sofa for a short time while he makes our lunch. We sit down to eat at the table.
“How was Sam the other night, after I left?”
“Very unhappy. He went right home after you left with Alex. What happened between you two?”
“Too much to be honest. It was all my fault, I should have put the brakes on. I don't know what came over me. I'm so ashamed about it now.”
“Right... Well, lesson learned, I suppose...”
“I thought Sam and Alex were going to have a fight.”
“Really? Well it's not the first time they've been in that situation.”
“What d'you mean?”
“Sam's lost out to Alex before.”
“Oh no.”
“Oh yes,” he nods his head. “It was a few years ago now. A visiting female flight instructor from Germany. It could have been the start of World War III if we hadn't kept them apart.”
“But I thought they got on.”
“No. Not at all. They talk and rub along on the surface, but there’s always been a deep chill in the air between them. Alex is a flight officer anyhow, he’s not really one of the guys. I get along with him the best, leading his support crew and because of our active service history. We did a tour together, did you know that?”
“Yeah, he said you’d seen some tough action in Afghanistan.”
“Don’t get me started. It’s a hell hole. For everyone. The heat, the cold, the terrain, the invisibilty of the Taliban, the hostility of the local people. But we were sent there with a purpose and I am proud of the job we did under such trying circumstances. The guys were great. We all bonded well, and supported each other. It’s what we all signed up for. We’re Marines.”
“It sounds really hard Bren. But you guys were up for the challenge and we are all so proud of you. Anyway, I’m hoping things will be okay, with Sam and Alex I mean.”
“Look, don't worry about it Lex. You went a little wild. So what? We've all done it. You're on vacation, remember?” He grins at me and I feel a little better about my mild sluttiness.
I hang around the house for the rest of the afternoon, sitting in the sun, chatting to Brendan and doing a few chores to help out again. I even feel relaxed and happy enough to work on the Tree of Life sampler I'm sewing for Mum and Dad's thirtieth wedding anniversary in December.
There are a few messages on my phone when I check it later.
Kelly explains her garbled go-go from before.
“Purity and Vice on hold, currently doing something else, it's called Whirl. Inspired by you and Top Gun. A painting of heated passion. Very exciting.”
I'm so touched. I've never inspired Kelly before. I send her an appreciative reply.
“I am honoured to be an inspiration. This could be your breakthrough to fame.” I'm leaving my news about just how passionate it was till later. We can have a proper chat on the phone about that.
One from Alex. I saved the best till last.
“I'll pick you up for a midnight date tonight.” I read it with a growing excitement. I am so looking forward to this. I text back with a question.
“What shall I wear?”
He replies a minute later.
“It doesn't matter, it's all coming off pretty quickly.”
“Oh really?”
“Oh yes.”
I wonder what kind of date it could be. One where clothes are not required anyway.
I'm watching TV on my own at 11pm that evening when I get a message from an unknown number. I read it with a chill running up my spine.
“You're mine. You know you are.” How the hell Sam got my number I don't know. I don't like the tone of his message, it has a touch of the obsessive about it. I made it quite clear I'm with Alex. I send him a message back, stating just that.
“Sorry, but no. I'm with Alex now.”
“I'll be so good to you.”
“That's enough.”
“I love you Lex.”
“Don't be ridiculous. Please don't contact me again.”
“I'm waiting.”
Well he can bloody wait. Forever. Next time I see him I'll have to make it all crystal clear. I obviously need to. Maybe he's been drinking. That's probably it. He's blasted.
I put his mad drunk messages out of my mind.
I'm ready and waiting to sneak out at midnight. I wait by the front window and see his car draw up and then I quietly leave, running down the path. I ge
t in and he pulls away quickly, stopping further down the street to pounce on me.
“I missed you.”
“I missed you too.”
He kisses me for a long time and I sigh with pure pleasure and lust. We finally recover the strength to stop kissing each other and sit smiling widely for a moment.
“Ready for this?”
“I am. Let's go.”
He drives off on our mystery date. I have no clue where we are going until we pull up at the beach five minutes later.
“Oh yeah? Very nice.” I smile in approval at our beach location.
“Come on.” He grabs his bag from the back seat and we walk way up the beach away from any signs of civilisation, hand in hand in the dark with a torch. He stops and sits down.
“Here, I think.” He turns the torch off for a moment. It's pitch dark. The moon is a tiny sliver and the sky scattered with patchy clouds. There's not much in the way of light. I can hear the sea swooshing in and out, the waves breaking softly on the shore. I sit next to him. He turns the torch on again and gets out a few towels and some glow sticks from the bag at his side. I watch as he stands up and starts to lay a path down to the sea with the bright green and pink luminous sticks spaced every few yards. A minute later he returns.
He puts out some towels and sits down on one patting the one next to him. I sit on it in a state of great excitement. I couldn't get any more thrilled. It really is a midnight date to die for.
“This is going to be a dark experience for you.” He says with a smile. I laugh. Maybe he does have a fun side after all. The torch goes off. “Lie down Lex.”
I'm wild with anticipation. I feel him move towards me. His hands start pulling at my clothes and mine at his. We have everything off fast and he lays partly across me, kissing my face and neck.
He stops for a moment and I feel him reach above our heads. “Here let me put this on your wrist, I don't want to lose you later.” He winds a thick rubber band around my wrist and hooks a luminous pink stick underneath it. I wave it around, giggling at the pink trace marks it makes in the dark. He waves his green one around spelling out Lex.
This couldn't be a more romantic fun filled love session. Lying in the gentle warmth of the night, the soft breeze coming off the Pacific and the sounds of the ocean lapping at the beach. Here I am about to do things with Alex in the pitch dark. I'm in paradise.
I want to ravish him to death for arranging such a perfect night. With my hands on his chest I push gently and he rolls back, onto the other towel. I sit on top of him quickly. My heart is racing, my mind heating up to boiling point...
“This is wild... Being out here with you.”
“I thought you might like it.”
“I love it.” I kiss him passionately, lying full length on his body. My hands travel around him, grasping his hard cock and teasing him gently between us. I kneel astride him and plunge him inside me hard and fast, pushing and rocking against him to get him in deep, so deep...
“Sweet Jesus... Lex, you're...” I silence him with my mouth, kissing him like crazy and at the same time start to move slowly, working him, circling, plunging and squeezing his cock tightly inside. Shivers of pleasure rush though me, up and down my spine. I so want to please him, to make him feel so good after all the wonderful things he did to me the other night. His hands cover my breasts, teasing my nipples, pinching them firmly between his thumbs and forefingers. I moan over and over with the sensations connecting them to my overheated centre. I squeeze his cock again involuntarily, so tightly. I continue to slide up and down him, my spine tingling, the pleasure building.
Oh my God, he does such amazing things to me and I can't even see him.
I move fast on him, wildly in a perfect rhythm, his hands rubbing gently at my breasts.
“Ahhh, Lexy...” He groans loudly. He grips my arms and pulls me down and rolls us over. He drives into me so hard, wild and fast. I feel him shudder and small jerking movements as he comes inside me. “Oh baby, baby....” His voice is hoarse and choked against my ear as he collapses on me heavily. He gulps loudly taking in a shuddering deep breath. I wrap my legs around him and arch up against him, drawing him in deep. His mouth comes down hard on mine, his hot and silky smooth tongue writhing deep inside, sweeping around mine.
He is so gorgeous, so lovely... I want to do this all day and night.
Some time later we are having a wonderful tight hug. He sighs and rolls on his back and lies still next to me. I see his glowstick above his head. I lean up on my elbow and kiss his hand, running my lips down his brightly lit wrist and arm.
“Lex...”
“Mmmm?”
“We don't have enough time together, do we?” Sadly I was just thinking the same thing.
“We have what we have. You have your life and I have mine. We'll have to make the most of it.” I might sound all matter of fact about it, but my stomach is churning at the thought of going home already.
“I intend to do that, but still, three weeks is nowhere near enough time with you.”
“Please don't... I'm getting sad and depressed and we've only just started.”
“Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I'll have to cheer you up now, won't I?”
He pushes me on my back. His stubbly chin rubs across my stomach. I'm very ticklish and double up in laughter. He tickles me some more, everywhere. His rough chin running amok on my tickly sensitive places.
“Stop it, stop it... Please!” I beg in mild hysterics.
“There. All happy again.”
I sigh. He takes my hand and pulls me up.
“Let's go for a swim.” My stomach flips with excitement. I've never made love in the sea. I can't wait. We follow the path of glowsticks he laid down and walk into the cool waves. I look back and see the small line of sticks on the beach. We would never have been able to find our things without them. It's completely pitch black tonight.
We walk out until the water is up to our necks and then swim closely within an arms reach of each other.
“Stay with me Alex. Don't swim off. Just in case a shark shows up.” I'm more than a little nervous of the possibility. I know it's a stupid thought but I so wish I hadn't seen Jaws right now.
“Come here shark bait and don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.” He pulls me close and we tread water together. I wrap my legs around him and we sink under the salty waves. We emerge spluttering and laughing a few seconds later. We play in the heaving, swelling ocean for some time. He pulls me inland a little until we can stand on the bottom, the water around our shoulders.
He picks me up and I wrap myself around him again. His hardness pressing against my stomach. I stroke him up and down. His hard cock is warm, despite the cool water. I want him inside me again. I squirm against him, moving his hardness beneath me. Rubbing and positioning him right there, against me, ready...
“I want you. Now...” I whisper in his ear.
“How much do you want me?” He whispers back.
“Lots and lots.”
“Not as much as I want you.” He is inside me in one long divine thrust. My head falls back in ecstasy as the cool water and his warm cock hit my insides. My wet hair swirls into the sea, floating all around my head.
“Oh Alex, you move me in ways I can't describe.”
“You don't need to, I'm feeling it too.”
We kiss and thrust together in the swell of the waves, our breathless bodies straining to get closer. It is too erotic for words. His cock rubs over my clit again and again, arousing me more and more as he moves against me. I feel it rising, the pleasure building. I'm moaning and pushing myself against him out of control. My hands yanking at his short hair.
“I'm wild for you.” I come in a blast of sensation, squeezing myself tightly to him again and again. I hold him tightly as he reaches his peak, coming a few seconds later. I feel his heat shoot inside me and his legs going beneath him a little. We sink lower into the water, gasping and moaning. We drown in our passion for each other.
“I want this to go on forever.” I gasp against his ear. I lick his neck tasting the sea salt.
“Fuck, so do I Lex... so do I.” His warm breath is on my neck, His lips running up and down. I can feel his heartbeat racing in his chest. I'm thrilled beyond my wildest dreams at how much he wants me. This is all so way out there. A week ago I couldn't have imagined being here like this, ever.
We make our way up the beach a long time later, a little chilled and tired. We lie on the towels looking up at the few stars we can see peeking between the clouds above. He passes me a towel and I dab myself dry, wringing out my hair and wrap myself up in the damp towel. It's getting a little chilly now.
“I've brought something to warm us up. Put your hand out.” He turns the torch on and places a plastic glass in my outstretched hand. He removes the plastic seal for me. Then he uncovers his. We sit and sip our red wine.
“Fancy some music?”
“Every little detail covered, hmmm?” I smile to myself and sigh deeply with satisfaction.
“Aha.... I have a lot of unusual old stuff on here, but I think you'll like this.” He passes me an earplug and flicks around on his phone.”
Beautiful smooth music hits my brain.
“This is fantastic.”
“There's more...” He places a small pretty box of chocolates on my leg and lights it up with the torch. “A nice sweet treat too.”
“Oh Alex, this is all so lovely. Thank you. Come here.” We indulge in a long wine flavoured kiss. I open the chocolates and pop one in both of our mouths. “Gorgeous. Yummy, almost as yummy as you...”
“Happy?”
“Deliriously.” How could I not be? He is Mr Romance as well as Mr Big Bang. I'll be in love by the end of the week. I can feel a broken heart looming on the horizon.
We chill for a while, finishing our drink and listening to the music.
A little later I am thinking to myself that despite our very intense physical intimacy, I don't really know that much about him. Although we aren't pursuing a long term relationship, I do want to know a little more. I take advantage of our current comfortable state of closeness to push him on some personal details.
“Have you always lived around here?”
“No, I grew up in Burlington, in Vermont.”
