Tuscan Skies
Part 21
Sue Ellen shivered underneath the blanket, as the early morning breeze blew the blanket off of her shoulder. She opened her eyes, and pulled the blanket snugly around her. The sounds of gulls, and other birds flying overhead reminded her that they were no longer at the villa, they were at sea. J.R. hugged her tightly to him, and traced soft kisses on her neck. He gently bit her shoulder, and she lightly moaned. She turned over to face J.R.
He kissed her, and said, "Mornin', Sugar. Did you sleep well?"
She said, "Mmm, yes I did. Too good, I forgot where I was. How about you?"
J.R. kissed her, again, and said, "I slept like a log. I don't think I moved all night."
Sue Ellen winked at him, and said, "Oh, you moved, J.R. You were incredible."
J.R. chuckled at her salacious comment. He glanced over her shoulder, the moon was visible in the sky, and the sun was barely hinting at the glorious day to come.
He said, "We'd better get back to the cabin, before any of the crew wakes up, and finds us like this."
Sue Ellen asked, "Where are our clothes?"
J.R. climbed over her, and put on his trousers, and his loafers. He picked up his shirt, and her dress, slip, and her shoes.
He said, "You can stay wrapped in that blanket if you'd like, Honey. The air is damp, and chilly."
Sue Ellen accepted his generous offer, and wrapped the blanket around her, like a sarong.
J.R. walked behind her, as they made their way back to the cabin. They found the door to the passenger entrance to the cabins locked.
Sue Ellen turned around, and said, "The door is locked, Darlin'. Is there another way to get to our cabin?"
J.R. said, "I'm not sure, I guess we'll find out soon enough."
He reached for her hand, and turned around. Sue Ellen followed J.R. around to the other side of the sailboat. They walked down a stairwell, and into an open hallway leading to the engine room. The walls of the hallway were of the same type of wood used for the walls in their cabin.
J.R. said, "I'll be damned. I'll bet you that our cabin is on the other side of this wall."
Sue Ellen leaned up against the wall, and looked up. The sky was still dark, and she could see the moon overhead. J.R. stared at her, while she stood there. He was captivated by how beautiful she looked wearing only a blanket. He wanted her, at that moment, and it didn't matter if anyone saw them, or not. He dropped the bundle of clothing he had been holding onto the floor, and stood in front of Sue Ellen. He put his arms around her waist, and kissed her. He greedily plundered her mouth with his tongue. Sue Ellen's breathing increased, as she, too, was swept away by her escalating need to have J.R. He lifted his hand, and removed the blanket Sue Ellen had wrapped around herself. He watched as the blanket fell to the floor. Sue Ellen covered herself with strategically placed arm movements. J.R. shook his head from side to side, urging her not to cover her body. He loved how she looked, vulnerable, and sensual, all at once. He lifted Sue Ellen off the ground, and held her against the wall. She held onto his shoulders, for support. He fumbled with removing his trousers, while trying to hold Sue Ellen to him. She held tightly to his shoulders, and refused to let go.
Sue Ellen wrapped her legs around his waist, and said, "I want you, J.R. I want you right now."
J.R. obliged her command. He was stunned by her eagerness, and willingness to forgo privacy to get what she wanted from him. Every thrust of his hips against her, made her cry out his name. He had never had any woman like this, and it was an incredible turn-on for him. His impassioned desire for Sue Ellen was heightened by the eroticism of having her like this. Sue Ellen's paced, and rhythmic movements against him were irresistible. She was insatiable, and left J.R. with shaking legs, and aching muscles. J.R. lowered her to the ground, and continued making love to Sue Ellen. She had let go of any of her previous reservations, and fears of being seen by unwanted eyes. She gave herself to him completely, and J.R. throatily called out her name, at the height of his ecstasy. He collapsed against Sue Ellen's chest. She held him in her arms, and kissed the side of his head. They lay locked in an embrace for several minutes, then J.R. lifted his head.
He said, "God, Sue Ellen. I hope that was as good for you as it was for me?"
Sue Ellen grinned at him, and said, "It was better than good, J.R. It was earth shattering. I had no idea how intriguing the fear of gettin' caught could make it feel."
J.R. kissed her, and said, "Maybe we should try the other door to the cabin? I'm sure some crew member is awake by now?"
Sue Ellen wrapped herself in the blanket, and J.R. put on his trousers, and his crumpled shirt. They walked back to the cabin entrance, and J.R. turned the doorknob. The door effortlessly swung open, allowing them access to their cabin. They walked inside, and J.R. closed the door behind him. Sue Ellen teasingly dropped the blanket on the floor, and seductively walked over to the bed. J.R.'s jaw dropped, as he watched her walk. He slender hips swayed back and forth with each graceful stride of her lithe legs. God, she was exquisite, and she was his. His love for Sue Ellen was stronger than he could have imagined, and it overwhelmed him. He removed his shirt, and his trousers, and tossed them aside. She lay on the bed, on her side, facing him, with her legs outstretched, and a wanton look in her eyes. J.R. climbed over the bed, and pulled her into his arms, kissing her full, sensuous lips. He pressed his mouth to hers. His hunger for her was exceeded only by his love for her. He was rapt by how she looked, and how she felt. Her soft skin enticed him. Her body was his temple, and he dutifully worshiped her. Sue Ellen controlled their movements, as her undulating hips continuously pressed against J.R., driving him mad for her. Sue Ellen pulled at his hair with her hands, dragging his head away from her. She opened her eyes, and smiled a victorious smile, when she saw the look of sheer bliss on J.R.'s face as he reached his peak. They quickly drifted off to sleep.
J.R. awoke to the sound of running water. He arose, and walked to the bathroom door. He opened the door to a room filled with steam. He leered at Sue Ellen, as he walked toward the shower stall. He opened the door to the stall, and stood behind Sue Ellen. He put his arms around her waist, and kissed the wet skin on her neck.
She leaned into him, and said, "Don't ever stop, J.R., please?"
J.R. said, "Never," as his hands moved up her torso.
Sue Ellen arched her back, and lifted her hand to the side of his head. She turned her head to kiss him. The steam from the hot water coming from the shower head was suffocating, but it didn't stop J.R. He turned Sue Ellen around, and ravenously explored her mouth with his tongue. Sue Ellen pulled him closer to her, as her excitement spurred him on. J.R. turned off the water, and lowered her to the floor of the shower stall.
He hoarsely whispered, "I'll never get enough of you, Sue Ellen."
Sue Ellen murmured, "Neither will I, J.R."
He made love to her with an even rhythm, as their bodies became one. Sue Ellen begged him to continue, even after she had reached her zenith. J.R. quickened his pace, unable to resist her pleas. She arched her back, allowing him a full view of her incredible body, and sending him over the brink.
He rolled off of her, and said, "I can't breathe, Sugar. I feel as if I've died, and gone to heaven."
Sue Ellen softly said, "I love you, J.R."
J.R. turned his head, and tenderly kissed her, saying, "I love you, Sugar. I've never felt this way about anyone else, Sue Ellen. I didn't know how wonderful true love could feel."
J.R. lay on the deck of the sailboat, watching Sue Ellen. She fell asleep while sunning herself. Her forest green bathing suit allowed for maximum exposure to the sun. The suntan oil glistening on her bronze skin, combined with the mist from the sea spray, made her skin appear wet. J.R. emitted a lusty growl, as he watched her through the dark lenses of his sunglass. He reveled in how frequently they made love as of late. He would have taken her on the upper deck, had it not been for the sailboat's captain, and crew readying the ship for its return voyage to the Marina at Punta Ala. Sue Ellen rolled over, onto her stomach. J.R. turned onto his side, to get a better view of Sue Ellen. Her eyes were closed, and he could watch her, unnoticed for as long as he wanted. Her hair was pulled away from her face, and a few stray strands would blow in the breeze, and cover her eyes. She would swipe at the strands of hair, and try in vain, to pin them back on her head. J.R. tried not to chuckle at how redundant her efforts proved to be, as the sailboat coursed through the water at twelve knots. Sue Ellen heard his laughter, and opened her eyes, glaring at him.
She asked, "What do you find so amusin', J.R.?"
He grinned and said, "You, Sugar, You amuse the hell out of me. I've watched you try to pull your hair away from your face for the past twenty minutes, only to watch the wind blow it right back over your eyes."
Sue Ellen sarcastically said, "I'm delighted to know that I amuse you, Darlin'. Is that why you brought me on this fantasy cruise of yours?"
J.R. sobered, and said, "You know that's not the only reason, Sue Ellen."
She sat up, and said, "Why don't you come over here, and explain some of your reasons, then, Darlin'?"
J.R. stood up from the cushion he had been laying on, and walked over to Sue Ellen. He reached for her hand, and climbed on top of the cushion. She sat with her arms hugging her knees, and J.R. placed his hand on her legs, rubbing her thigh. Sue Ellen turned, and dangled her legs over the deck railing. J.R. straddled her from behind, pulling her against his chest. He put his arms around her, and kissed her cheek. The scent of the suntan oil and her perfume sent J.R. reeling with desire. She turned her head toward him, and reached for his mouth. She eagerly matched his kiss, and touched his face with her hand. J.R. pulled away, and removed his sunglasses.
He looked into her eyes, and asked, "How's that for starters, Sugar?"
Sue Ellen flashed him her most dazzling smile, and said, "That's a very good start, J.R."
They ate breakfast in a covered dining area on the starboard end of the upper deck of the sailboat. Their meal consisted of fresh fruit, tea scones, and a variety of different flavored coffees. They had worked up quite an appetite from their lovemaking, and quickly devoured the succulent meal that had been prepared for them. J.R. took Sue Ellen's hand, as she rose from the chair she sat in. They walked arm in arm, back to the deck to lounge in the sun.
The sailboat set anchor to allow time for the captain and crew to review their planned course. J.R. and Sue Ellen informed the captain that they would be swimming in the sea, near the sailboat, and to alert them when the sailboat was ready to depart. J.R. dove off of the side of the sailboat, and plunged into the aquamarine colored water. Sue Ellen followed him with a graceful swan dive, and scarcely splashed as she entered the water. J.R. swam over to her, and pulled her into his arms, while he treaded water, to keep them afloat. Sue Ellen wiped her hair away from her eyes, and leaned in to kiss J.R. He smiled, as she drew near him, and parted his mouth for her. She darted her tongue in and out of his mouth, teasing him, and making him hold her tighter than he had before. She gazed into his eyes, and beamed at him.
He said, "I am glad that we decided to take this vacation, Sue Ellen. I've got to admit that I questioned comin' here, at first, but now I wouldn't trade the time we've spent together for anything."
Sue Ellen said, "You really do mean that, don't you, J.R.?"
J.R. replied. "Of course I do, Sugar. It's a welcome relief from all of the drama we've been through lately. I'm relaxed, for the first time since John Ross and I met you at the Dallas airport when you first came back from London."
Sue Ellen asked, "Why did you accompany John Ross that day, J.R.?"
He said, "Curiosity, mostly, but I think the main reason was that I had missed you, and hoped you felt the same."
Sue Ellen smiled at him, and asked, "Do you know how scared I was when I saw you standing next to John Ross?"
J.R. laughed, and said, "Probably as scared as I was about the possibility of your gettin' angry with me for showin' up uninvited."
Sue Ellen's voice was low, and filled with emotion, when she said, "Look how far we've come since that day, Darlin'."
J.R. pondered what she had said, They had come farther with their relationship than either of them thought possible. He had seen countless nubile younger women in Dallas, and on the Italian beaches, and in the tiny villages, but none of them made him feel half as excited as the woman in his arms, with her arms possessively wrapped around his neck. He desired only Sue Ellen. His solitary goal was her happiness, emotionally, and physically.
The captain called out to J.R. and Sue Ellen, and lowered a ladder for them to use to climb back into the sailboat. J.R. helped Sue Ellen climb the ladder, secretly enjoying the view she was unintentionally providing him of her posterior, as she ascended the rope ladder. He silently scolded himself, and told himself that the only lecherous eyes he had to be concerned with on this cruise, were his own . . .
