BEDTIME STORIES

PART 6

I had almost reached the area where the trees came down to the water when I heard him running behind me. I didn't slow or stop to allow him to catch up. He caught up with me just as I reached the trees. As close as we were I could see a path that went through the trees. I continued walking, would have followed the path had he not reached out, and took my hand. I hesitated just long enough that he was able to go through ahead of me. We were surrounded by trees for so long that I began to wonder if there was more beach on the other side, but then that could have been an illusion due to the fact that it was night and there was no other light than the stars. But we did come out to find a small horseshoe-shaped inlet. I assumed that this was where the kids had been Tuesday as well as earlier today with the others. As soon as we were through he dropped my hand allowing me to pass him as we walked further in. I moved to the center of the horseshoe, sat down in the dry sand just above the line in the sand where the water stopped and went back out with the tide. I pulled my knees up to my chest wrapping the robe around my legs and then rested my chin on my knees staring out at the water.

He sat down next to me on the sand and asked, "Why did you run?"

Without looking at him I said, "I needed some space."

Quietly he said, "Do you want me to leave?"

I held my hand out to him saying, "No I don't want you to leave. I'm better now."

He took it and then put our hands down on the sand between us. "Shall we try this again? Will you tell me what has you so upset?"

I shook my head, "No not really. Not right now anyway. I just want to sit here and enjoy the night for a while. Is that okay with you?" He nodded in answer and we sat there quietly watching the water, the night, and the stars. Eventually, I lay back on the sand closed my eyes, and stretched. When I did he slipped his hand inside my robe to rest on my stomach, which happened to be bare. My stomach was warm and his hand was cool from the night air so I reacted by sucking in my stomach. I heard a soft chuckle from him and opened my eyes to find him leaning down over me. I brought my arms up and wrapped them around his neck pulling him down toward me. As he began to kiss me, he moved his hand up to cup my breast. I gasped when he did and he took the opportunity to slip his tongue past my lips. I opened my mouth wider allowing his entry and slipped my tongue past his lips. As he continued to kiss me, I slipped my hands down inside his robe and moved them down over his chest. When I reached it, I untied the belt allowing his robe to fall open. He lifted his head then to look down and watch me as he slowly slid his hand down my body until he reached the belt of my robe. With one quick tug, he untied it and then very, very slowly pushed it open. As he did this, he continued to watch me. I could have closed my eyes so that I could enjoy it that much more but I didn't. Slowly he began to slid his hand back up my body, between my breast and then over to one shoulder to push the robe off my arm. Once that arm was free his hand glided back up my arm and across to the other shoulder where he helped me to pull that arm free as well. Then he rolled over to cover my body with his, settling between my legs. He rested his arms on either side of my head burying his hands into my hair and keeping most of his weight off me. I began running my hands up and down his chest letting the hairs curl around my fingers as I moved my hand up to his chest. Softly I said, "Now what?"

He smiled down at me and said, "This." Then he ever so slowly pushed himself deep inside me. I sighed when he stopped moving because he was as deep as he could go. When I went to move he stopped me by pressing his hips into mine and holding me still. He shook his whispering, "Oh no, you just lie still." Then he dipped his head down and began to kiss me as he slowly began to move. He was even slower and more controlled than he had been during the first night we had made love. So the climax he brought us both too was even more intense. We lay there not moving for several minutes trying to catch our breath. Even though he rested his forehead on the sand next to my head, he kept his weight off me with his arms.

Finally, I ran my hands up and down his sides saying, "You'd catch your breath sooner if you would relax and quit supporting your weight on your arms."

I felt him smile as he nuzzled against my neck. "You're right." Then he was rolling off me to rest on his side. When he did I gasped and grabbed the edge of my robe to pull up on me rolling toward him because when he moved the breeze off the water had washed across my damp body making me shiver. He laughed and wrapped an arm around to pull me up against him. Leaning down he whispered in my ear, "That's why I hadn't moved yet. I was trying to keep you warm. Now, are you ready to go back to the cottage and take a shower before going to bed? Making love on the beach is great, but I don't want the beach in bed with us."

I giggled and nodded my head, "Yeah I'm ready to go back and I don't like sand in my bed either. So who gets the shower first?"

As he helped me get my robe back on he said, "We get it first, because I'm not going to be a gentleman and let the lady go first. Tonight we share." Then he was standing and pulling his robe around him and belting it before holding a hand out to me to pull me to my feet. Then hand in hand we walked back to the cottage. We used the outside stairs and as we passed the open French doors to the kids' room I glanced in. I couldn't see much but I did see Sidi lift his head to see who was going by. When he saw it was us he laid his head back down on his paws. We quickly showered and crawled into bed. It didn't take long for us to fall asleep.
