Sarah's POV
Bentenan Beach Resort
Manado, Sulawesi
1000 Local
After telling our story and turning over the captives to the Indonesian authorities we still had the two-hour drive back down the mountain. Flying the plane out wasn't an option. The rain had washed out part of the airfield. Life in a third world country!
The only thing that kept me sane was the fact that Clay was at the bottom. It felt like I was hurtling down the muddy slope to a destiny that I had been waiting for my entire life. As I had told Harm once, all I wanted out of life was good career, lots of comfortable shoes and a family. Well I had found the man who was the beginning of that family, and I was hell bent on reaching him.
Finally we tramped back to the lobby of the resort. We were a sorry sight. We were covered in mud and bone tired, and I'm sure the eau de jungle was ever so inviting. I didn't want to greet Clay like this, but as it turns out I had no choice.
Ramon, Jim and Harm were at the desk getting room keys, and I was looking around the lobby for Clay when suddenly two arms snaked around me from behind and lips kissed my neck.
"Hello, princess. It's about time you got here. I was about to send out more troops to find you."
I turned in his arms and we stared into each other's eyes. My joy was mirrored in his tired eyes. Then we were hugging each other with all of our strength. He began raining kisses anywhere on my face that he could reach. My hands were running up his arms, over his shoulders and back while his grasped my waist holding me close. He kisses finally settled on my mouth and we practically engulfed each other tongues. We finally came up for air when once again our so-called friends made themselves known.
"We've told the two of you before, GET A ROOM!" We turned to our audience. Jim and Ramon were, as usual were grinning like fools. Harm was busy with Tracy. They too surfaced. When Harm glanced at me I could see that he understood the feelings that Clay and I shared. He gave me a nod of approval. At that moment I knew that our friendship would survive and continue the rest of our lives.
Clay hugged me to his side and kissed my cheek. "Sarah I'm told that there is a lovely jet tub in the room upstairs. I'm sure that you wouldn't mind putting it to use. Why don't you go up to the room and relax in it. I'll be up after I talk with the guys."
"Clay, I can wait for you..."
He cut me off by kissing me again. "Please? I'll be up in just a few minutes. You are tired and.."
"I'll go." I kissed him, making sure the peanut gallery could see as much tongue as possible. I caressed his cheek one last time and turned to the group. I couldn't help myself, I stuck my tongue out and gave them as raspberry as I left for the room.
I know Clay didn't necessarily want to stay and talk with the guys. The confirmation of this was hidden by his baggy shorts. I hope he wouldn't be too long. I was tired but I was sure that I had enough life left in me to let him give me a memorable welcome home. From now on 'home' was going to be where he was.
I walked to the room and found out that it was a suite. The man certainly knew how to travel! I began stripping out of my soiled clothing as soon as I entered. He was right, the jet tub looked very inviting and it was more than big enough for two. I found a large assortment lemon grass/ginger scented toiletries. I poured some of the bubble bath into the tub and let it begin to fill. I then went into the shower enclosure. I was going to wash off the dirt and clean my hair before soaking in the tub. The shampoo and shower gel also had that great scent. While in the shower I shaved feeling like I was preparing for some ritual. It better be an erotic ritual or I would be screaming in sexual frustration.
I left the shower and immersed myself in the tub. The jets had created bubbles that covered me up to my chin. I don't know how long I lay there, but a flash startled me from my doze. I looked up and Clay was standing there with a camera in his hands and a smirk on his face.
"That had better be a digital camera mister so I can erase its' memory!"
"Now, sweetheart, it was only from the chest up."
I looked down and the bubbles had dissipated to the point that my nipples were visible. "That covers quite a bit of real estate"
"And very nice real estate, if I may say so." He came and perched on the edge of the tub and began to slowly move his fingers over my shoulders and breasts. Clay was very sensual, he loved to touch my skin. Although we hadn't made love those nights we slept together he had managed to touch me everywhere.
"You may say so, but the picture still goes."
"I'll keep it on my laptop so that I am the only one who sees it."
I had to laugh at this. "Excuse me, a hacker I know was in your computer and revealed your secrets before and could do so in the future."
"You are going to hold this over me forever, aren't you?" He began to strip out of his clothes as I responded. I couldn't take my eyes off of him, he was beautiful in my eyes.
"That and everything else. Let's see, I've got your sappy romantic side, your Jimmy Buffet music collection, ...." He started laughing.
"If you want me in that tub you'll stop listing all the things you can blackmail me with and scoot forward a bit."
At my sniff of disdain he laughed even harder. "Move or I take my body and go home!"
I moved. He climbed into the tub behind me and continued to laugh.
I lay back against him and he placed his arms around me, he continued to shake with laughter. I also felt that more than laughter was on his mind. As his laughter subsided his erection grew against my back. His left hand moved slowly over my breasts massaging and tweaking my nipples, his right moved down my abdomen and between my thighs. I let my thighs fall open to give him better access to my lower lips and clit. My hands were moving up and down his thighs and legs. There was no laughter now. We were both sighing and moaning. I was enjoying the sensations but wanted to share more than touches. I pulled away and turned in his arms. I brought my knees up and placed them on either side of his hips and sat in his lap. As far as I was concerned he was healed enough for what we were about to do.
"I like this tub, what about you?" I said and settled down.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "It has definite possibilities." He then lifted my hips and slowly moved me. He felt so good inside of me that I moaned. He looked at me in concern.
"Are you all right? You are so tight, you feel wonderful?"
In answer I plunged my tongue into his mouth, and began to move. He moved his hands from my hips and let me move at my own pace. He didn't have control issues. One hand went to my breasts, caressing each in turn. The other began to rub where we were joined. I was busy pinching his nipples and massaging his chest. Our movements became more frantic as he moved in an out of me. I felt the tell take tightening in my belly of impending orgasm.
"I'm ready, you can let go." I pleaded.
At this, he grasped my hips and began plunging me down as he forcefully thrust his hips up. This action only lasted a few seconds before my muscles tightened on him and I screamed my release. Clay was just behind me calling my name as he came.
I collapsed in his arms and laid my head between his shoulder and neck. We were both breathing heavily and when we finally calmed he smiled. "Do you think we can fit the tub in the luggage? I really think we need one of these."
I giggled, "I think they have these at home. But this particular one will always be special to me."
We continued to lie against each other and simply enjoy being in each other's arms. The water gradually cooled and Clay suggested that we get up. We left the tub and dried each other. "Your shoulders are really tight. Been worried lately? How about a massage?"
This man was definitely the one. "That would be wonderful. There's only one thing that I would want more. And I think that you'll be able to handle that too!"
I walked out of the bathroom, "I'll be waiting for the masseuse in bed."
With that he snapped me on the rear with the towel he was holding. I yelped and he smirked. He followed me into the bedroom a few seconds later.
Clay's POV
We were back in Manado around one a.m. I didn't even know what day it was. One of the SeALs told me it was Thursday. I kept the questioning from the authorities to a minimum. Tracy looked like she was about to drop from exhaustion, and I know I was. Alan looked ready to go another few rounds, I don't know if I wanted to be that young again.
Jarot and the bombing suspects would be transported to Jakarta as soon as possible and be questioned there. We wouldn't be responsible for the interrogations, we would leave it to a task force that had been formed. I was grateful for that, I've done enough of that to last me a lifetime. Our part in this was over.
We found out that Robert was out of surgery and would make a full recovery, for which we breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately Alan had to report back to his unit. I shook his hand and Tracy hugged him goodbye. He came to attention and saluted us as he left.
The other team wouldn't be back here until mid morning. They had to take ground transport down with the prisoners and road conditions were bad. Thankfully Bud had rooms ready for us at the resort as requested.
During our short confinement I had spent the time thinking of my future. I decided that I wanted that future to begin immediately with Sarah. I began my planning then, and with the help of Tracy, I completed them. By two-thirty Tracy and I said goodnight, my plans mapped out and ready for implementation.

Tracy and I had just gotten off the elevator when we spotted the weary warriors in the lobby.
Sarah was standing in the middle of the lobby looking around, I came up behind her and grabbed her around the waist and kissed her neck.
"Hello Princess. It's about time you got here. I was about to send more troops out to find you."
She turned in my arms. All I could do was stare into her beautiful face. Suddenly we were hugging for all that we were worth. I started kissing her face everywhere I could. Our hands weren't idle. We were practically on fire. Then our mouths met and we had our tongues down each other's throats. I was glad the baggy shorts I had on hid how glad I was to see the woman in my arms. A rude comment interrupted us. I guess we should be grateful. A few more seconds and I would have taken her on the lobby floor.
I convinced Sarah to go up to the room and relax even though the last thing I wanted to do was be separated from her. When she left she blew a raspberry at our friends. She will never cease to amaze me.
"Gentleman, Miss, come with me. We have something big to discuss." I led them to a private dining area off the coffee shop.
Harm spoke for the group, "Clay if you think we are going to debrief now you've got another thing coming! We are exhausted." Tracy patted his hand and told him to wait for the explanation.
"Harm, this has nothing to do with a debriefing. It's personal. Tracy and I have already sent a preliminary report to AJ three hours ago. We are set for a formal debriefing tomorrow. A joint task force team will be here for that. Everyone has 24 hours of downtime. So you can relax."
"I've had help from Tracy and Bud to plan this. So I need cooperation from you. I asked AJ to give everyone several days leave. He gave you a week starting after the debrief." This was met with grateful smiles from everyone.
"You'll be my guests here at the resort. You came to my rescue and this is a small expression of my gratitude for that. My circle of friends is very small, and I'm grateful that you are part of that circle." I was trying not to be maudlin, but it was very hard. The people at this table had risked their lives for me and I would never be able to repay them for their actions.
They gave me embarrassed looks of thanks. Ramon joked, "Hell, we would have come just to enjoy you and Harm bashing each other." I smirked, and Harm grinned. I don't think we would ever change how we related to each other.
"Now for the other reason. I'm going to ask Sarah to marry me and I want to have an engagement party here."
"Webb, it's no secret that Mac hates surprises. Do you think that this is such a great idea?"
Thankfully I sensed no hostility from Harm's question, only concern.
"Tracy assures me that this surprise will be acceptable." Tracy nodded her head in confirmation.
"I've made arrangements to have AJ and Meredith, Bud and Harriet, and Tessa and Marita flown out here. They will be here Friday morning. The debriefing will keep us occupied most of the day on Friday. While we are busy they can rest up from the flight. That evening everyone will gather for the party. I'm going to ask her before we come down, and surprise her with the party."
"Your jobs are to keep this under wraps. The hotel is taking care of the party arrangements. I've got to get a few hours alone to buy an engagement ring."
Jim gave a knowing smile. "That won't be a problem. This place more than likely has a spa. Treat Sarah and Tracy to an afternoon at the spa. I think that will keep her occupied."
"I believe that will work Clay. Marita will do about anything for the complete spa deal. I use it as my bribe of choice when I need to convince her of something."
"Sarah doesn't seem susceptible to bribes, I'll have to remember that if this works. That's it from me. Does anyone have anything to add?"
"I just want to say, good luck. I hope the two of you will be happy. Now can we go to bed?"
"Thanks, Harm that mean a lot to me. And yes hit the sack. We can meet up for breakfast tomorrow, OK?"
Everyone nodded gratefully and we headed to our rooms

I entered the suite quietly, I didn't want to wake her if she was sleeping. She was still in the bath. I called and made reservations at the spa and arrangement for a wake up call at three-thirty.
I followed the trail of clothing on the floor to the bathroom. She was dozing in the tub. The jets had collapsed most of the bubbles exposing her lovely chest to my gaze. I retrieved the camera from the other room and snapped of picture. She woke with a start and demanded that the picture be destroyed. This wasn't going to happen. I wanted to remember what she had looked like forever. I was going to have to get help with laptop protection!
I began stripping when she started talking about blackmail. It all struck me funny and I couldn't control my laughter. She eventually moved enough for me to get behind her. All thoughts of laughter left me as I moved my arms around her. Her softness only increased my hardness. I don't care how much longer I was supposed to wait, I wasn't going to wait any longer.
I never thought that we would make love for the first time in a tub. The location wasn't important I found out. I wanted it to last longer, she was so tight and it had been so long that we both were shouting completion a few minutes later.
After joking about taking the hot tub home with us, we just enjoyed being together. I offered her a massage and she promptly took me up on the offer.
I grabbed some body lotion off the bath counter and joined her in the bedroom.
She was lying face down on the bed. She looked relaxed but she really needed a massage. I climbed into bed and kneeled astride her butt. I warmed a bit of the lemon scented lotion in my hands and started my ministrations at her shoulders and moved down the center of her back. There were a few small scars scattered here and there. I bent and kissed them as if to make them better.
Working my way back to her shoulders I used firm strokes and the heel of my palm to work out the knots. It took almost fifteen minutes to work them all out. Other than make a small moan here or there she hadn't said a word the entire time. I scooted down her legs and started working her lower back and buttocks. Her ass was incredible. I had admired it from afar for years. Now it was mine to touch. I kneaded the firm orbs then lower back with loving strokes.
The massage had been for her benefit. It had left her completely limp, but I was stiff as I could be. I moved to the side her face was turned and kissed her cheek.
"You awake?"
"Yes, I'm just very relaxed. You can be my masseuse anytime. I'll put you on permanent retainer."
"Than can be arranged. What do you say to a late afternoon at the spa? You can get another massage, facial, get your hair done. You and Tracy can get the works and we'll meet for a late dinner."
"Very nice, we'll do that. But it seems that you have something that I need to massage." And she did.
"Sarah, we didn't talk about the adult things. I'm clean and I know you wouldn't do anything if you weren't. What about birth control?" I stated in a near panic, what she wanted was important. A child with her would be a bonus that I would love, but it was her choice.
She placed a hand on my lips. "Yes, I'm clean, and I know the same about you. Birth control is a different matter. I didn't think about it either. I got a little carried away earlier. I'm not on anything. Do you think we are ready for something this big."
Her eyes were large and the look on her face was beautiful. I could tell that the prospect of a baby was something she had no problems with. I gave her a smile, "Yes I think we are ready for that. So where were we?"
She smiled and said, "Just about here," and she began to kiss me. Her tongue was mimicking what I wanted to be doing to her.
"It's time to insert Tab A into Slot B, don't you think?"
I laughed. I couldn't help it. Making love with her was never going to be boring. So I inserted my tab into her slot and we commenced to move. We were sweating and groaning and working our way to a mind altering orgasm. We both shouted when we came within seconds of each other. I collapsed on top of her and she held me tight.
I rolled to the side and pulled her against me, "You do know I will always associated the smell of lemons with sex?"
"So I can use lemonade as an aphrodesiac?" she said sleepily.
Yes, life was never going to be the same. We fell into a dreamless sleep.

All thoughts of laughter left me as I moved my arms around her. Her softness only increased my hardness. I don't care how much longer I was supposed to wait, I wasn't going to wait any longer.
I never thought that we would make love for the first time in a tub. The location wasn't important I found out. I wanted it to last longer, she was so tight and it had been so long that we both were shouting completion a few minutes later.
After joking about taking the hot tub home with us, we just enjoyed being together. I offered her a massage and she promptly took me up on the offer.
I grabbed some body lotion off the bath counter and joined her in the bedroom.
She was lying face down on the bed. She looked relaxed but she really needed a massage. I climbed into bed and kneeled astride her butt. I warmed a bit of the lemon scented lotion in my hands and started my ministrations at her shoulders and moved down the center of her back. There were a few small scars scattered here and there. I bent and kissed them as if to make them better.
Working my way back to her shoulders I used firm strokes and the heel of my palm to work out the knots. It took almost fifteen minutes to work them all out. Other than make a small moan here or there she hadn't said a word the entire time. I scooted down her legs and started working her lower back and buttocks. Her ass was incredible. I had admired it from afar for years. Now it was mine to touch. I kneaded the firm orbs then lower back with loving strokes.
The massage had been for her benefit. It had left her completely limp, but I was stiff as I could be. I moved to the side her face was turned and kissed her cheek.
"You awake?"
"Yes, I'm just very relaxed. You can be my masseuse anytime. I'll put you on permanent retainer."
"Than can be arranged. What do you say to a late afternoon at the spa? You can get another massage, facial, get your hair done. You and Tracy can get the works and we'll meet for a late dinner."
"Very nice, we'll do that. But it seems that you have something that I need to massage." And she did.
"Sarah, we didn't talk about the adult things. I'm clean and I know you wouldn't do anything if you weren't. What about birth control?" I stated in a near panic, what she wanted was important. A child with her would be a bonus that I would love, but it was her choice.
She placed a hand on my lips. "Yes, I'm clean, and I know the same about you. Birth control is a different matter. I didn't think about it either. I got a little carried away earlier. I'm not on anything. Do you think we are ready for something this big."
Her eyes were large and the look on her face was beautiful. I could tell that the prospect of a baby was something she had no problems with. I gave her a smile, "Yes I think we are ready for that. So where were we?"
She smiled and said, "Just about here," and she began to kiss me. Her tongue was mimicking what I wanted to be doing to her.
"It's time to insert Tab A into Slot B, don't you think?"
I laughed. I couldn't help it. Making love with her was never going to be boring. So I inserted my tab into her slot and we commenced to move. We were sweating and groaning and working our way to a mind altering orgasm. We both shouted when we came within seconds of each other. I collapsed on top of her and she held me tight.
I rolled to the side and pulled her against me, "You do know I will always associated the smell of lemons with sex?"
"So I can use lemonade as an aphrodesiac?" she said sleepily.
Yes, life was never going to be the same. We fell into a dreamless sleep.
