"Lunch in fifteen minutes," the Major barked at the two water-slicked companions and stalked off towards his own bungalow to get ready.
The doctor couldn't help but notice that his adversary wasn't having nearly as grand a time as he was. Trouble in paradise? he mused. He hoped that Judy wasn't being negatively affected by the Major's mood. Or perhaps she was the cause. Whatever the case, he couldn't suppress the smirk that flashed across his face.
His mind quickly returned to thoughts of his companion. Smith watched with interest as she walked towards his bungalow. A sultry glance over her shoulder broadcasted her expectation that he'd be along shortly. He had no intention of disappointing her.
When he entered, her back was to him and she was busy drying herself off. As he approached, he gently removed the towel from her hands and took over the task himself, taking the opportunity to massage her well-tanned shoulders as he did so. Once again, her scent, only slightly dulled by their watery rendezvous, captivated him and he dipped his head to take it in. She turned her head towards him, pressed her cheek against his, and caressed his face with soft, slender fingers. A contented sigh escaped her lips, which only urged him on.
Hesitantly, his lips lightly caressed her bare shoulder and she shuddered with delight. Caresses became kisses, growing in urgency. He brushed her auburn hair aside to give himself greater access to the delicate skin at the nape of her neck. A trail of warm kisses followed, ending at her opposite shoulder. He nuzzled his cheek against hers as his hands moved lower, eagerly gliding the towel over every one of her curves. It wasn't long before he dropped the towel, along with the pretense that he was drying her off. His hands, steady and sure from years of practice as a doctor, explored her warm, supple skin as her lips began to explore his.
She leaned back against him and he welcomed the increased contact. "Zachary?" she purred.
"Mmm?" he replied wordlessly.
She turned to face him and her nimble fingers danced across his chest, pausing here and there to glide through the soft, silky hair. "I've really been enjoying myself the past few days."
"As have I, my dear," he replied.
Her hands soon found their way up to his shoulders and then loosely clasped behind his neck. "Do you think we'll have time?" she asked enigmatically.
"Hmm? Time for what?" he questioned, mesmerized by the glint of mischief and flirtation evident in her eyes.
"You know... a little fun?" She almost gasped at the forwardness of her suggestion. She suspected the alcohol may have had something to do with it, but at this point, she didn't care. She was sure his proximity to her was stoking the fires of her desire much more than any effects of alcohol.
"Definitely not," the doctor replied.
"What?" she choked, feeling as if he'd just slapped her across the face. "What do you mean?"
"My dear," his gentle, baritone voice soothed. "The Major said we only had fifteen minutes until lunch... and I like to take my time."
A smile slowly spread across her face. "Oh, I see." Her fingers played with the soft hair on the back of his head. "Well, you weren't that hungry anyway, were you?"
"Not that kind of hungry," he admitted, as he captured her lips once again.
A loud knock rattled the bungalow door, followed by a female voice. "Doctor Smith?"
The doctor broke the kiss and released an exasperated sigh. "Yes, Mrs. Robinson?"
"It's time for lunch. I thought you'd like to know."
"Thank you, Mrs. Robinson." He waited a few seconds until the Robinson matriarch had left, then turned his attention back to the woman he had wrapped in his arms. ""Well, that was a fast fifteen minutes. I think we're expected for lunch."."
"I think you're right," she smiled. "We'll have plenty of time for fun after a nice meal."
"Yes. We'd best get dressed," Smith said, a tinge of disappointment unmistakable in his tone. Foiled again, he fumed. He would have time alone with her, if he had to tie up the whole Robinson clan to do it. The thought of having to resort to such tactics made him smile. She mirrored his smile, despite not knowing the thoughts going through his head.
