Ch. 4 The Oregon Trails

The late afternoon finally gave way to the early evening as both teams checked in and settled into their respected rooms. Hikers were almost done getting back from the various trails offered. Ideally, Esme would have loved to take one of the trails during the day but found that she would enjoy the private alone time with Carlisle if they proceed at night. Carlisle had brought in their lugged and sat them down at the end of the queen bed. Esme took in the design of the room. The color was basic and the linens were a crisp white. Standing by the corner of the bed she looked out the window to here right admiring the view.

"It's a lovely view." Speaks Carlisle

"What trail shall we go on?" she inquires tilting her head towards Carlisle without allowing her eyes the leave the view.

He bends his head down and kisses cheek. "How about we take the Cliff Nature Trail? Judging from this picture I think you would appreciate view." He suggests after looking at the pamphlet.

She looks over at the picture. "Yes, I agree, it looks lovely my dear."

"How about we depart around midnight? I'm thinking that mostly everyone will be asleep by then." Replies Carlisle.

"Well then what should we do until then." She asks with a sparkle in eye.

"You know I would like to do something that I have not done with my wife for a while."

"Oh really and what it that." She questions. Carlisle moves directly in front of her. Ever so gracefully, he tilts down and captures I's soft red lips. To further enjoy the kiss I moves toward the center of the bed and leans back. Carlisle deepens the kiss as he places his hand on the side of her neck and then slowing moving his down until it rested just about her hip. Their small make out session ends with two pecks.

"Ooooooh Carlisle I like that."

"Good, because I plan on being very romantic with my wife this week, considering that we are alone." he props himself up on his elbow but keeps his other hand on I's hip.

"You know Team Whitlock is somewhere around here."

"I know, but I don't care, and besides I think I already has an idea that I want to be alone with my wife without any distractions and interruptions."

"Carlisle what do you have going on in that mind of yours."

"Besides caressing your body." He says in a lustful tone and then starts leaving a trail of kisses from her chin to her lips. They continued like this until midnight.

!

"Hey Jas, the last person is going to fall asleep around two am."

"Ok, So I'm guess that you are going to ask me what I want to do even though I know you saw. " he answers sarcastically.

"Well I saw a few options but it is officially up to you. This is our time."

"Do you want to know what this remains me of?" he asks. She nodes yes. "This reminds me of when I first meant you. Before we reached to the Cullen's, we traveled. Those were great times."

"So let's make that adventure like that." She responds excitedly

"Flirting while endlessly talking about whatever?"

She smiles at him while looking up through her eyelashes. "I guess that means that I'm running the bath water or starting a fire."

"Well I packed us a few books to read."

"What did you pack darling?"

"I have the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, Map of Bones by James Rollins, Flight of the Raven by Tolan, Lolita by Nabokov and The Reformed Vampire Support Group. The last one is comical. I picked them all out at random from Renesme's bookshelf."

"Well then ma'am, I'm going to get this fire started." He picks up the smaller remote and aims it at the electric fire. Alice grabs one of the books from her black leather book bag as Jasper took the sheets off of the bed to lie in front of the fireplace. Alice tosses the pillows on the floor.

"Which book are we going to start with this evening?" he asks her as he lies down on top of the sheets with two of the pillows underneath his head.

Alice reaches into her bag and pulls out a book. "I pulled out Flight of the Raven." Alice lies next on top of Jasper's on her chest. She turns her head in his direction. "Ready." She smiles.

"Part One. Militia." He reads. Turned the page and then began reading chapter one.

Hiking

Midnight rolled around all too soon for Carlisle and Esme.

"Honey what time is it?" asks Esme between kisses.

"Um." He breaks away to look at the black alarm clock on the night stand, "12:10 my dear."

"Then shall hold off on the next round and take our walk on the trail?"

He kisses her one more time. "Yes dear." They get up off the bed. He holds out his hand for her. "Shall we my lady?" he asks with a glisten in his eye.

"After you put on some cloths dear," she responds shaking her head. "The sooner we leave the sooner we can come back and have me."

"Then I will be patience for the moment."They both quickly dressed. Carlisle sticks his hand out for her once again. "Shall we?"

"We shall." She responds, grabs the camera and then takes his hand. The lobby was almost completely pitch black aside from the lights slightly streaming in through the window. Outside it was brighter with a cool breeze. On their way out Carlisle picked up a map of the various trails.

"First let's take a picture in front of the Château." Esme moves to the other end of the parking lot and then click. "Now let's go."

"What about your picture." He inquires.

"Not here I would prefer to have my picture taken while we are on the trail."

"Fair enough."

With that said they took off walking hand in hand. Carlisle glances at the map one more before taking the official route of the Cliff Nature Trail. As they made their ascent up the mountain they passed interpretive panels that provided information about the surrounding, which Esme greatly appreciated. Half way up the trial they came to a great vista point where most of the valley could be seen. The panorama was amazing. The picture on the inside of the guide did not do the actual view any justice. From their position they saw the magic of the night.

"Carlisle this is so beautiful. I wonder what it looks like as the sun raises." Says Esme in an astounded tone.

"If you want, we can stay her until then."

She considers his words quickly. "No, let us finish the trail and then on the way back down we can watch the sun rise. I can also take pictures of it so I can create a painting from it when we get back home."

"I love that twinkle in your eye." It was the kind of twinkle that says that I am in awed and in love with natural beauty.

"Well the sooner we make a move to the peak, the sooner we can come back." smiling back at Carlisle. He sticks out his hand for her. She takes it and they continue along the trial.

!

"After a moment the raven lifted itself from the branch and flew ahead of them, vanishing quickly into the falling snow." Reads Jasper. "The end darling."

"I enjoyed that story. I see why Nessie likes it." commits Alice.

"It should be time to venture out." Jasper questions.

Alice glances at her phone. "2:38am. It's time." She kisses the crescent moons above Jasper's left eye. He smiles back at her. She springs up and puts on her pair of brown boots. "What are you waiting for?" she asks as she walks over to the door.

Finally getting up he says, "Can't I just admire you?" then sits on the bed to put on his hiking boots.

"You can admire me anywhere, anytime." She admires him getting up from his seated position. "Oh and grab the camera please. We need to photograph our self in front of the Château."

Jasper grabs the camera and then follows Alice. Outside Jasper snaps a picture of the Château, then one with Alice in it and the last photo with the both of them. "So which trail are we going to take?"

"Well Carlisle and Esme took the Cliff Nature Trail, soooo… How about we take the No Name trail?"

"Sounds good to me."

The trail started out underneath a covered bridge of the trail which follows a cave creek. Next they then cross the creek and then began ascending the steep trail up the other side of the monument. Periodically they would pass a bench along the edge of the pathway. Still walking hand in hand Jasper became inspired by the beauty that was surrounding them.

"Hey do you remember the first time we kissed?"Jasper asks.

"Yes." She turns around and begins to walk backwards. "As I recall…you backed me up against a tree."

"Darling I didn't back you up against a tree. You were walking backwards just like you are doing now. I only closed the gap when your back meant the tree," he responds while saunters toward her. Her back makes contact with a tree.

"Yet once again here we are. My back is up against a tree and you are hovering over me." she smiles tilting her head up to see his face better.

Jasper leans in and captures her lips with his. They move slowly like a couple exploring each other's lips for the first time. Jasper slides his hands down to her hips. In perfect harmony Jasper lifts her off the ground as she wraps her legs around his hips without breaking their kiss. Jasper flicks his tongue out tapping her delicately on her lips. She gives his tongue full access, deepening the kiss. Breaking away from her precious lips Jasper moves to her soft neck. A light moan escapes her lips. He smiles in between kisses as he feels the lust weaving into her passion for him. He presses his body closer to Alice's. His hands grip firmly to her sides. Alice moves her right hand down Jasper's chest undoing the buttons. Once reaching his waist, she pulls his undershirt free and then slides her hand nimbly up his chest tracing the scares and muscular ridges of his body.

"You are entering dangerous territory ma'am," says Jasper in a husky voice filling up with desire. She slides her hand back down to his waist giving him a teasing kiss. "Darling this is not how our first kiss went."

"Mr. Whitlock, we passed that point the moment my legs wrapped around your waist." She gives him another teasing kiss.

"Ma'am, just what are your intensions?" He asks with lust and desire rolling off his tongue.

"Oh nothing." She responds sweetly and innocently.

"Oh really. Okay then." He backs up from the tree and then attempts to unwrap her legs from his waist.

"No, no, no, I'm not getting down, but I didn't want to break the tree either. My intensions are to love you forever."

"Those are my intensions as well but at the moment my primal sexual intensions are proving to be more dominate right now."

"Oh really." She says seductively and unwraps her legs from his waist, dropping down to the ground. "Shall we continue on our walk? I want to see the waterfall."

"Sure darling, I know how much you like waterfalls." He says with slight disappointment in his tone. The trail to the closest waterfall was a mile from where they were standing. The waterfall is roughly four feet wide. They had come to a section where the water pooled in the middle at the bottom of waterfall before flowing down another fall once again.

"Lovely." She kicks her boots off and then walks into the shallow green tinted water. Jasper looks around for a nearby rock that is not covered with moss. "Jasper role up your jeans and come on in, I just had a wonderful vision of us."

Raising an eyebrow. "Did you find a rock?" he asks

"How about that one?" she inquires gesturing over to a huge rock jutting out on the opposite side of where he stood from the waterfall." Her smile lets him know that she is all too aware of what was on his mind. He quickly removes his boots, sitting them next to Alice's. After rolling up his pant legs he enters the water. He kisses Alice on her waiting lips. In one swift movement she springs up, wrapping her legs around his waist, while he placed his hands firmly on her hips. Their lips lock perfectly together. They picked up right where they left off from the tree. Gradually Jasper moves them over the designated rock and sits down with Alice straddling him without breaking their rhythm. Alice begins grinding her hips to his. A moan escapes Jasper's lips. He breaks away from her lips to explore her neck once again with his lips. Alice pulls his button shirt off first and then takes off his undershirt.

"What color bra are you wearing Ali?"

"Take off my shirt and find out." he places his hand underneath her shirt and slides hands up pulling the shirt up with him.

"Black lace my favorite." He commits before kiss her neck again. He began to move further down. Alice leans back to give better access. In a swift movement she unclasps her bra and then tosses it to their boots.

"I think someone wants to be rid of his pants right about now."

"Will you assist me in taking them off then?"Alice nodes her head yes.

!

Carlisle sat with Esme nestled in his arms. He was admiring the beauty that was his wife more than the scenery.

I didn't quite fill the romance in that bland room, but here I find it quite ravishing." He says with lust in his voice.

"Well then we should really enjoy the sun rise while we can before anyone see's us." She responds and then kisses him. Together they watched as the sun peaked through the trees. They watched the sky slowly change colors. Esme took a photo every so often to document the beauty before her and every so often they would kiss each other. Gently Carlisle grabs Esme's hand and begins rubbing his thumb in circles on her soft skin.

"My beautiful wife. How long has it been since we been along and basked in natures beauty?"

"It's been far too long my love."

Carlisle begins rubbing his nose along Esme's neck. Every few light touch resulted in a kiss. Esme places her hand on Carlisle's thigh. "Dear, are you trying to start something."

"Maybe."

"Out here?"

"We've done it outside before. More than once. More than I can count on both hands."

"I know, but we must make sure that we don't get caught. We don't know these woods. And just so you know, I was hoping that we could have a little fun on this adventure."

"So was I and I was thinking that this is a beautiful place for me to love my beautiful wife." Carlisle places his hand on her thigh and began caressing it. Esme brings his lips her. Together the two kissed and explored each other with light touches and desirable kisses. After some time Esme began undoing his pants while he massaged her breast. Away they fell next to his shirt, inches from her clothing.

"I love it when your hands are all over love," Whispers Carlisle roughly.

"I love it when you…" she softly moaned as Carlisle took in her right breast with his mouth, massaging the other one with his hand. Then he switched, all the while causing his wife's gasps turning into low primal moans. "Oooooh baby, please give me something more." With that Carlisle kisses his way down to her heated core. There he began nibbling and licking her yearning core. Esme arched her back in pleasure weaving her hands roughly into his hair. "Please, I want more," She breathed seductively.

Carlisle sat up quickly and pulled Esme up with him. She went straight for his neck, ravaging it with her lips. Esme rips his boxer briefs off and then swings her leg over his pelvis. "Sometimes my dear…" she breaths heavily, "You take too long"

"Esme Anne, are you dominating me," he growls

"Just for now my dear, it's been awhile." With that said their lips meant again before Carlisle's lips travels around her neck once again. Up she went and then down she came moaning softly as she took his ready member in her.

"Esssmee," he breathed her name. Her rhythmic movement drove him to an intense primal pleasure. She rode him until he reached pure ecstasy. He kissed her softly after coming down from his pleasure. "My love I adore you." He opens this eyes and gazes upon her shimmering skin. "I say we finish this in private dear. We're too exposed out her."

"Fine by me." After removing herself from him, they quickly put on their cloths and sprinted back to their room.
