I shake my head to throw off the melancholy I already feel with the thought that he and I can’t be like this forever. Free and happy with no cares. His hand touches my knee.
“Penny for your thoughts, love.”
I’m not about to bring his mood down with the truth so I offer up a little white lie, which is really closer to the truth than it is a lie. “I’ve never camped without my parents and I get really afraid at night when all the creatures of the woods come out. I’m not sure about this sleeping in a tent thing.”
He takes my hand and gives it a light squeeze. “No worries, love. I’ll protect ya. I’ve taken on a croc before, I’m sure I can handle a few squirrels for you.”
“And just how big was this croc you took on, Kip?” I ask as I know there’s no way it was a big one.
“Size doesn’t matter when you’re talking about taking on a croc.” He gives me this look that says those things are dangerous in all sizes.
“It was a baby one wasn’t it?” I ask with a giggle. “Did it bite you?”
He laughs. “It nearly ripped my finger off!”
“Your finger, huh? Sounds like a real monster. There’s some type of a creature in the area around the river we’re going to. Kinda like a bigfoot, but meaner, so the legend goes.” I look at him to see if he’s buying my story at all.
“Oh, yeah?” he asks, but he seems not to be believing me.
“Yeah, I’ll tell you all about the stories my parents used to tell me, but tonight around the campfire. It’s better that way,” I say and see the turn to go to the camp ground. “There it is, turn here.”
“Finally!” he says. “We’ve been on the road for two hours. Is every blasted thing in this state so far away?”
“Afraid so,” I say as we pull up to the entrance. “Now we get to see if we can figure out how to set the tent up.”
“I’m sure we can, I’m no idiot, Peyton,” he says as he pulls his sunshades up and looks at me with those deep blue eyes.
“I know you’re not,” I say and squeeze his hand. “I trust you.”
He smiles and my heart melts a little. “I guess we go inside and get our site number, huh?” I nod and he jumps out and comes to my side and picks me up off the seat as I giggle like a little girl. “Come on, love, let’s get this camping thing going.”
I feel like Jane in a Tarzan movie!
Kip
I amazed Peyton by putting the tent up right the first time. She kept telling me to read the directions and was positive I was doing it wrong, but in the end it stayed up so I proved to her that directions are for idiots.
Floating down the river on large tubes, I pull a couple of cans of beer out of the small ice chest I brought along and hand her one. She pops the top and takes a sip.
“There’s nothing like floating in this cold water and drinking a cold beer on a hot summer afternoon,” she says, as she looks up at the sky.
Her little foot with pink polish on her toenails runs through a rope around my tube, keeping us from floating away from each other. Unable to resist it any longer, I pick it up and pull her closer as I rub her foot. “It is relaxing.”
She leans her head on the headrest and says, “Mmmhmm. It is.”
Natural springs run out from the sides of the small cliffs along the river. A doe drinks from the water just ahead of us and I whisper, “Look there, love, a dear. We’re going to go right past it.”
She lifts her head and looks. “How sweet.”
We pass the deer and it looks right at me. No fear at all. I find myself taking Peyton’s hand in mine and feel a spark run through me. Everything is so beautiful, and she fits in wonderfully with it all.
I kiss her hand and she looks at me and smiles. “So, do you like?”
I nod. “Very much, this was a great idea.”
Laying her head back, she says, “It was, thanks for coming.”
My mind goes to later on tonight in the tent and I feel a warm sensation run through me as I will finally be able to hold her all night long and see her first thing in the morning and I can’t wait. I wish I could pin point what it is about her that makes her so damn appealing to me.
She’s one-hundred percent natural. Pretty, smart, and knows how to have fun. We’ve only today and tomorrow then I have to get back on the road and the tour which will take us away from each other, unless I can get her to come with me. At this point I have no idea of what she’ll tell me.
The fact is I’m afraid to even ask, because if she tells me no, I know it’ll bring me down and I want every second with her to be great. I suppose I’ll wait until just before I have to leave.
I pray she says yes!
Her head lifts. “Do you hear that?” she asks.
“What?” I ask as I’ve been distracted by my thoughts.
“The water?” she says and sits up somewhat tensely. “It’s the first waterfall. Should we go down it or walk around?” She looks at me.
“How should I know?” I say and sit up a bit tensely myself now that she seems so damn nervous all of a sudden. “Peyton, you’re the one who’s been down this river a million times. What do you usually do?”
“I haven’t been down here in the last three years. It might be all different now. But I used to get out and walk around with Mom while Dad and my brothers went down it. They always told me I was being a baby. So what do you think we should do?”
“Hell, that’s easy. If they could do it so can we. No worries,” I say and run my foot under the rope of her tube. “I won’t let you go, love.”
She starts untying her rope and mine then ties them together. “I’m not taking the chance of your foot or mine slipping. I’m tying us together.”
“You were so relaxed a second ago. It’s just water, Peyton, if we fall off we just get back on.”
She looks as me and laughs. “Have you tubed a river before?”
“Well, no, but how hard can this be?” I ask. “No one would do it if it was truly horrible.”
With a small smile, she says, “Okay then, let us see how this goes. Don’t let me drown, please.”
The water starts to move us faster towards the now roaring sound of the water as it falls over some very large boulders. It does look ominous and we can hear other people scream as they disappear once they get to the first, large rock. Her hand has mine in a death grip and I see sweat sprout on her forehead.
We both have on sunglasses so I can’t see her eyes, but I bet they’re wide and full of fear, poor girl. “It’s going to be fun, love.”
She gives me a quick glance then she begins to back pedal with her hand. “Crap! It’s sending me down first! Shit! Kip!”
Then, BOOM, she goes over the first boulder and I’m pulled right along with her as our tubes hit the smoothed rocks and sends us down through a tunnel of the monster sized things. Some soft and some hard bumps we go through as Peyton screams I’m sure her eyes are closed tight as there really is nothing to be afraid of. It’s a fun ride.
I laugh as she screams and we’ve made it through the fall and are slowing back down. She stops screaming and starts to laugh as she looks at me. “We lived!” she shouts and lets my hand out of her death grip and holds it up for a high five.
I meet her hand in the air and wrap her hand back up in mine and give it a kiss. “Damn it, you were a wreck,” I tell her as we drift along the back to peaceful river.
“I guess I don’t do well in tense situations.” She smiles and takes a long drink of her beer.
I think if she smoked, she’d be lighting up after that little upset. “How many more falls are there?”
She shrugs. “There were five more, but like I said, it’s been years since I’ve been here, so it’s a mystery really.”
“There’s one near where we set up the tent, so we have at least one more to go through, think you can take it?” I ask as I give her a smile.
“Maybe, since you’re with me,” she says. “I’ve never went down one before, but I feel safe with y
ou for some odd reason.”
She feels safe with me!
Peyton
We made it all the way back to our campsite and somehow I lived through five waterfalls. Me screaming through each one as Kip laughed his ass off at me. This is the first time I’ve ever been without my parents and brothers on this river and I find myself enjoying it even more than I ever did when I was a kid. Somehow Kip seems to make everything better.
Someone had put up a little rock wall, making a natural small area of semi-deep water right at the edge of the water where we put our tent up. I lie back on Kip as my legs float out in front of me and he holds me loosely in his strong arms. His lips touch the top of my head and he moves his hand to stroke my stomach. In the nearly freezing water, my stomach heats up with the movement of his hand.
I twist in his arms and he leans down, placing his lips on mine and I wrap my arms around his neck and pull myself up to sit on his lap. The cold water runs over us as I go all hot inside.
He doesn’t know it yet, as I want to be sure about it before I let him in on this, but I brought a box of condoms and I think tonight will be the night for me, for us. He has to leave soon and I’ve found myself thinking that I’ll be eternally pissed at myself if I don’t give myself to him.
Even if we never see each other again after tomorrow, I’ll have that memory to keep. His hand slides down my back and over my hip, squeezing it as he pulls me closer to him. His tongue flows over mine and mine his as I run my tongue over every bit of his mouth memorizing it. I want to keep every kiss, every touch in my memory forever.
“Look, Mommy, they’re kissing!” a kid shouts as he and his large family pass us by and I pull my mouth from Kip’s as I laugh and blush.
“This isn’t like me,” I say. “You have me acting so unlike myself.”
His hand touches my chin and he whispers, “Good.” Then his mouth is back on mine and my heart flutters as he claims me in front of the people who float past us.
With a gap in the flow of river traffic, I move my legs to straddle him and feel that even in the cold water, he’s managed to get a pretty great erection going, and it surprises me how large and hard it is and my mind goes to if I bought condoms that will fit him.
The sun is beginning to set and the smell of wood burning as other campers start their camp fires creeps into my senses. And Kip’s too I guess as he pulls his mouth from mine very reluctantly. “I suppose I should start us a fire before it gets dark.”
“I’ll help you,” I say and get off him, so he can stand up.
He starts to get up then hesitates. “Hmm. I better wait a few seconds before I go standing up. You’ve left me at attention.”
I blush and giggle as I walk up the bank to grab a towel from our campsite. After a minute, Kip gets up and comes up to me as I blot the water from my cold skin with the towel. His arms wrap around me and in an instant I’m no longer cold. “Ready to make a fire, love?”
He’s already got one going on inside of me!
Kip
Darkness fell quickly once the sun set and small fires glow here and there around us. Everyone is quiet, and the night is ultra-peaceful as Peyton and I lie on a blanket near our campfire and look up at the night sky. “There’s another one,” she says as she points to a falling star.
“There are supposed to be many more after midnight, I heard on the news this morning,” I say.
“A meteor shower, yeah I heard that too,” she says and snuggles her head down on my chest.
“The river water smells good on you,” I tell her as I breathe in the smell of her damp hair. “You smell like that and the slightest hint of sunshine. You remind me of what summer really is.”
“You can’t smell sunshine,” she says with a giggle. “You, smell like the river water and the smoke from the fire which I love.”
Love! Now there’s a word I want to try out and see if she thinks so too!
Only two days and I feel like this is real, what she and I have. I kiss the top her head and give her shoulders a quick squeeze. “I love the way you smell too.”
Okay, that was a step, but not quite far enough.
She giggles and her breath tickles the fine hairs on my chest as she does. I left my shirt off to entice her into wanting me as she has access to my defined abs I’ve worked so hard on. Her finger runs along the lines on my stomach as she says, “I love the way you roast a hot dog too. You are quite the master of making hotdogs and s’mores, I have to admit.”
“Well, I love the way you set up this little campsite we have here with the small cup of wild flowers you picked while I made the fire.” I stroke her back.
She eases her leg over mine and I can feel her soft inner thigh on mine and it nearly takes my breath away. “I love how sweet you are and how easy it is to be with you.”
“I love that about you as well,” I say, then I close my eyes and make myself say it. “I love you, Peyton.”
My heart stops beating as I wait to see if she’s going to jump up and run. She sighs deeply and now I’m about to start sweating as I’m more nervous than ever that she’s about to go into a long spiel about how we only have a couple of days and love isn’t a thing we can have.
Her lips kiss my chest and she says, “I love you too, Kip.”
Did I hear her right?
I open my eyes just in time to see two stars fall out of the sky, leaving long trails of light behind them. “So, we love each other then.”
“Seems so,” she says. Another kiss she places on my chest and I turn over, lying her back down on the blanket.
She looks up at me, her light brown eyes are nearly green as they sparkle with the light of the fire. Her skin is bronze from the sun today and her lips are pink and begging to be kissed.
“I love you,” I tell her again and she smiles.
“So I’ve heard.” She winks. “You ever tell any girl that before?”
I shake my head. “Have you?”
She shakes her head too then wiggles her finger at me to move in closer. I do as she requests and her hand cups the back of my neck as she pulls my lips to hers. They’re soft and supple and part to let me in. I kiss her softly and savor the moment. I never want to forget this moment when we let each other know how we really feel.
Her hands run over my bare back and I move over her, my knee spreading her legs apart. She opens them and I push my body onto hers and grind into her. She moans and her chest vibrates under mine.
She pulls her mouth from mine. “We should take this inside the tent. That little boy may be camping somewhere near us and tattle on us again,” she says.
I’d like to do this right here, beneath the stars, but she’s right, that kid is a menace. I stand up and pick her up as she giggles. I whisper, “I brought a whole box of condoms, love.”
Her eyebrows lift and I find myself worried she’s about to really let me down. “So did I!”
Whew! That was close!
“Great minds think alike!”
I lie her on the tall, queen size, blow up mattress. She bites at her lip as I reach down and untie her bathing suit top. Her bottoms have ties too and I untie them as well. “Never thought in a million years I’d lose my virginity on my parents’ blow up mattress. Think they’ll be mad?”
“Don’t tell them and they won’t,” I say with a chuckle. “What happens at camp stays at camp.”
She giggles too until I drop my trunks. Her eyes go wide and her hand covers her mouth.
“Is that going to fit?” she asks as she points to my generous manhood.
“Shit! I hope so,” I say as I pull her bathing suit away from her body and gaze at it. “Damn it, you’re gorgeous, Peyton.”
She smiles and wiggles that finger at me again. I comply and press my lips to hers as I ease onto the mattress. Her side rises a bit and her body turns, coming flush up against mine. I run my hand over her curvy hip and pull it towards me.
My dick is hard and wants to be inside her so damn bad. I have to
remember that she’s never done this before. I have to go slow and be sure she’s more than ready for what I have to give her. Slowly I move my mouth from hers and to her neck as she runs her hands over my back.
“You have so many muscles,” she says as her hands go over my arms. “Your arms alone make me want you.”
I smile against the soft flesh of her neck, then trail kisses down it and over her chest, stopping only for a moment to nip and suck on one breast. Then I continue my journey down to the promise land. She sucks in her breath as my lips touch the little bud that only mine have ever touched and I smile at that knowledge.
This is uncharted territory and I’m about to put my mark all over it. A sudden animal instinct flows through me and I look up at her to find her eyes closed. “Peyton,” I say and she opens her eyes and looks at me. “You are mine, do you understand that? Never do I want you to allow anyone else to touch you like you’re letting me.”
She smiles. “Okay, Neanderthal.”
I bite the inside of her leg hard enough to make her squirm. Then look up again. “I’m serious.”
Her eyes go dark and she smiles again. “I can see that. I’m yours, no one else will ever have what you do.” Her hand strokes my cheek softly and my heart pounds.
I cannot believe how intense I feel about her. If I ever lose her, it will devastate me. I keep my eyes on hers as I kiss her clit softly and her eyes close as she lies her head back and makes a soft moan. Running my tongue up and down her wet folds, I find them both hot and inviting. Her hands tangle in my hair as I push her knees up to gain better access to her delectable goodies.
Slowly I run my tongue into her. She’s tight as hell and I wonder how she’s going to take me. Running my tongue back up to her clit, I push one finger into her, moving it in and out, stretching her some. She groans and I add another finger, making her arch up.
