Honeymoon At Last
They New Year arrived soon after. The circus was in town and Tracy thought it would be a nice place to take Robby for his mommy and me time.
"Robby want to go to the circus Saturday?" she asked him one day.
"What's a circus?" he asked.
"It's a show where they have clowns and jugglers and lions and people flying through the air."
"They actually fly!?"
"Not like Superman but yeah."
"Let's go!"
Tracy smiled and nodded. "Alright then."
That Saturday Link watched Margaret. Tracy had started using a breast pump so he could easily feed her with a bottle. Tracy drove Robby to a huge heated tent. Robby's eyes widened as he took in the three ring circus. They sat so they had a clear view of everything that was happening. There was a cage in one ring and a tightrope above them. Off to the side a small clown car sat waiting for the show to start. The ringmaster stepped into the center ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages welcome to Baltimore's premier Circus."
Tracy and Robby clapped along with the others in the audience. A clown walked up to the ringmaster.
"And now on with the show," he said as he noticed the clown.
The clown juggled some bowling pins and honked a horn that he carried. The clown car soon drove in and eight clowns piled out of it.
"How did so many clowns fit in there?" Robby asked.
"I bet its magic," Tracy answered smiling.
Robby smiled at the response. After the clowns there were jugglers, tightrope walkers, trapeze artists and a lion tamer. Robby hid his head in Tracy's shoulder as one of the lions roared.
"Don't worry he can't get you," Tracy said soothingly.
Robby just nuzzled further into her arm. Tracy drove them home when the show ended.
"So how was the circus?" Link asked as they walked in the door. He kissed Tracy's lips and ruffled Robby's hair receiving a unhappy look from his son.
"It was fun except that Robby didn't like the lions," Tracy said.
Robby shook his head. "Lions were scary."
A few days' later Tracy and Link were cuddling on the couch while Robby and Margaret both napped.
"So now that we have the Vegas tickets when are we going to use them?" Tracy asked.
Link smiled. "I thought we could go in February for Valentines Day."
"Our parents are going to watch Robby right but who'll watch Jim?" Tracy inquired.
"I've already talked to Penny and Amber and they have agreed to stay here with him." Link replied.
"You've got everything worked out haven't you?"
Link grinned and nodded.
"Mama what's a honeymoon?" Robby asked later after he had awoken from his nap.
"A honeymoon is when a mommy and daddy go somewhere and spend some alone time together," Tracy told him.
"Can't I come?"
Link shook his head. "No Robster. You'll have more fun with your grandparents than you would with us."
That night Link and Tracy went to bed early so they could be ready for the flight. They had packed most of their stuff that evening. Tracy looked confused at as she looked in her drawers.
"Linky which color lingerie should I take to Vegas?"
"How about the blue one because you look beyond gorgeous in it?"
"Alright," she said smiling.
A few hours later Link lay awake looking at the ceiling. He looked at Tracy lying in his arms and thought he saw her eyes flutter slightly.
"Lil darlin are you asleep?"
Tracy opened her eyes and looked at him. "No, I'm too excited about the honeymoon."
Link grinned. "So am I. We could always stay awake for awhile."
"Want do you have in mind?"
"This," he said as he leaned over and captured her lips.
The morning of the flight Tracy stirred as she heard a knock on the door.
"Who can that be? It's eight o'clock," she said, her voice still raspy with sleep.
Link awoke and kissed her cheek. "Probably my parents. I'll go let them in and get the kids up and ready."
Tracy yawned. "Alright."
Link stood and put his bathrobe on. He walked downstairs and opened the door. Heather and Eric smiled at him.
"Sorry we overslept," he told them.
"It's alright son," Eric said.
Link moved aside allowing his parents inside.
"Are the kids up yet?" Heather asked.
Link shook his head. "No, we just woke up."
"I'll get them while you and Tracy get ready."
"Thanks mom."
Link walked back upstairs to find Tracy dressed and styling her hair.
"Are Robby and Margaret awake?" she asked.
"My mom is getting them up."
"That's nice of her."
Link nodded. He walked to the closet and grabbed a pair of black slacks and a gray shirt. Tracy was wearing a blue skirt and white blouse. When they walked downstairs Link was carrying some of their luggage. Heather and Eric were in the living room with Robby and Margaret.
"Need any help son?" Eric asked.
"Sure dad. There are a couple more suitcases upstairs."
"I'll get them," Eric said before walking upstairs.
He soon returned and Edna and Wilbur arrived to watch the kids. They hugged Tracy and Link goodbye before all of the suitcases were packed in the car.
Tracy turned to Margaret and kissed her forehead. "By sweetie mommy is really going to miss you."
Margaret reached out to her.
"I'm sure she'll miss you too," Heather told her.
Tracy then turned to Robby and picked him up. She kissed his cheek and he made a face while wiping the spot where the kiss had been. "By Robby, be a good boy for grandma and grandpa."
"Yes mama," he said.
It was Link's turn. He took Robby and ruffled his hair. "I'll miss you Robster be nice to your sister."
"If I have to," he said
Link then took Margaret from Edna's arms. "I'll miss you too Margaret."
She reached out and Link leaned over so she could touch his nose. He laughed.
"She'll miss her daddy too," Edna told him.
It was time to leave. Tracy hugged her parents one last time.
"Have fun kids!" Wilbur said.
"Have a great time you love birds!" Edna added.
"Thanks mom, dad," Tracy said as slid in the car. Link waved to them as they pulled away towards the airport. Eric was driving while Tracy and Link were in the back.
Heather turned towards them. "Now be careful dears. I'm not ready for more grandchildren yet."
"Don't worry mom we packed plenty of protection."
Tracy crimsoned slightly at the conversation. "With Robby and Margaret we have our hands full already."
Heather nodded.
They soon arrived at the airport and Link and Eric took out the suitcases. Tracy tried to take one of the suitcases but Link refused.
"Allow me to carry them."
"Are you sure Linky?"
He nodded. They made their way to the terminal and checked their bags.
Heather hugged Link then Tracy. "Have fun, relax!"
"We'll try mom."
Eric patted Link's shoulder and hugged Tracy. "We'll see you when you get back."
Link smiled at them then turned to Tracy.
"Ready doll?"
"Yes but I get the window seat on the plane."
"That's fine Trace."
They took their seats on the plane. Tracy kept looking out the window throughout the flight.
"Everything looks like small dots," she commented.
Link leaned over and looked. "Dots is right."
He kissed Tracy before sitting back in his seat. They arrived in sunny Las Vegas in the afternoon since it was a three hour time difference. Link grabbed the suitcases and put them on a luggage cart. He pushed them to the doors and Tracy hailed a taxi. After putting the suitcases in the trunk they told the driver which hotel and he drove them there.
A valet came over with a luggage cart and helped Link unpack the trunk. Tracy twined her hands with his and gave him a quick kiss before walking up to the front desk. The got their room key and headed upstairs. Not feeling like moving from the room after the long flight they ordered room service.
The next day Link went down to the casino while Tracy looked around at the shops in the building. He played a couple slots winning a little. He moved to another spot and found an attractive woman wearing a pink low cut dress. Her green eyes gazed upon Link.
"Hey baby, my name is Kitty. Are you here for business or pleasure?"
"Pleasure," Link answered.
Her eyes danced up and down his body. "And have you found our city to your liking?"
Link nodded. "It's very nice, though I miss home."
I could show you a good time baby. Want to have a good time?" she asked him smiling seductively.
"I'm already having a fantastic time with my beautiful wife."
"Suit yourself honey," she said before leaving.
Link didn't realize until she left that she was a hooker. At that moment Tracy walked up to him. She kissed his lips and he smiled at her.
"How'd you do at the slots?" she asked.
"Alright. You found something?" he said noticing a bag.
Tracy nodded. "Some souvenirs."
"Already? We just got here."
"No time like the present."
They went back to their room. Link held the door open for her like the perfect gentlemen.
"Trace while I was downstairs a hooker came up to me and asked if I wanted to have a good time."
"What did you tell her?"
"That I was already having a great time with my beautiful wife."
Tracy walked over to him and captured his lips. It quickly turned into a French kiss.
"Was she attractive?" she asked him.
"She's puppy chow compared to you doll."
Tracy tilted her head and captured his lips again.
"Vegas is different than Baltimore," she told him once they parted.
Link nodded. "I never would have expected to get propositioned by a hooker."
"You are a dashingly handsome man," Tracy told him.
He smiled at her before leaning over and capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.
"I do have a ravishingly beautiful woman by my side."
Tracy winked at him. "Would you like me to proposition you?"
He pulled her close to him smiling. He then winked at her. "You can proposition me all you want."
Tracy cupped his cheek and gazed into his eyes. "Well Mr. Larkin what do you say to spending the rest of the afternoon in bed?"
Link's lips turned into a sly smile. "I'd say that there's no other place I'd rather be Mrs. Larkin."
Tracy smiled as she led him into the bedroom.
The next night Tracy and Link went to a magic show called "The Most Magical Show of This Decade". It was in the hotel next to theirs. Tracy wore a blue dress and her hair in a French twist. Link wore black slacks and a light green shirt. With hands intertwined they had walked into the theater. It was huge with rows and rows of seats. Link and Tracy found their way to theirs which were in the middle so they had a good view of the magician. The other seats were soon filled and he appeared on stage. The magician was in his thirties with curly brown hair and blue eyes. He wore a nice suit.
He smiled at everyone. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen my name is Will and I'll be your magician for tonight."
"He does realize that he's the magician every night right Trace?"
She laughed. "He was joking."
"Oh."
Will did simple card tricks and even cut one of his female assistants in half with a saw. The next trick he did he asked for a volunteer from the audience. Tracy volunteered and one of his assistants, the same that was sawed in half, brought her up to the stage.
"Hi I'm Will," he said shaking Tracy's hand.
"Tracy," she told him.
"Nice to meet you Tracy. Are you here with anyone special tonight?"
Tracy looked out to where Link sat and smiled. "Yes my husband."
"Ah what a lucky fellow he is to have such a beautiful wife," Will said.
Tracy grinned. "No I'm the lucky one to have him as a husband."
Link smiled in the audience.
"How would you like to take a short trip?"
Tracy's eyes widened.
"Don't worry you'll be back in no time," Will said chuckling.
"Okay," she said nervously.
"Step through this door," he said motioning to a large door connected to a large box that had been brought out.
Tracy looked into the crowd at Link then stepped through the door into a small wardrobe sized box. Will closed the door behind her and Tracy felt the back of the box move and she was in a dark antechamber of sorts. She heard Will speak some words then the crowd's gasp as what she thought to be the door opening revealing her to be gone. It closed again and Tracy felt herself being pushed back to the other side of the wall again. She heard Will use the same words and he door opened. She stepped out and the audience applauded.
"Thank you Tracy for being a great volunteer," Will said before allowing her offstage.
Tracy smiled and went back to her seat next to Link.
Link kissed her. "What happened in the box?"
"There was a trap door that put me into an antechamber then brought me back again."
Will performed other magic tricks including making one of the assistants levitate a few feet in the air. Soon the show was over and Link and Tracy went to their hotel. Link wanted to stay and play blackjack. Tracy didn't so she went upstairs. A couple hours later she took the elevator and went into the casino looking for him. He was playing a slot machine. She went over to him and kissed his cheek.
"Hey," he said smiling.
She rubbed her hand down his chest and looked up at him with desire in her eyes. "Linky can you take a break for a while? I can think of something better that we can do together on the couch in our room with kissing."
Link smiled and winked. "What are we waiting for then? Let's get out of here beautiful."
Link took her hand as Tracy led them back up to the room. Once inside Link closed the door. Tracy led him to the couch and gently pushed him down on it. She moved onto the couch so she was atop of him and captured his lips. Her tongue grazed his bottom lip and he gladly opened it deepening the kiss. His hand grabbed at her back as hers made their way to his hair. After several minutes they parted for need of oxygen. Link leaned up and captured her lips again in a French kiss. They spent the next few hours kissing and cuddling on the couch.
The next day they walked around the streets and went into the different casinos. They also went to the Hoover Dam and took the tour. That evening they went to the Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse at the Golden Nugget. They ordered wine with their steaks. By the time they finished dinner they were drunk. They headed back to the hotel. Once in the elevator Link pulled Tracy to him and kissed her passionately. They didn't realize that it stopped until they hear a loud cough from an older gentleman waiting to get on. Tracy crimsoned and Link smirked as they quickly made their way to their room.
Once inside Tracy captured Link's lips as they made their way to the bed. Along the way shirts, skirts and pants were discarded. Tracy lay on it bringing Link with her. Their lips never left one another. Once on the bed Link decided to trail kisses from her lips to her cheeks and down to her neck. He paused there and nibbled one spot making Tracy giggle. He then placed kisses down her chest and breasts. Once there she arched her back and he undid her bra, casting it aside. She whimpered as he nibbled on her soft flesh. Tracy brought his lips back up to hers and seized them. She then gently rolled him on his back so she was atop of him. She trailed kisses from his forehead to his nose, lips neck and chest. She helped him wriggle out of his underwear and he did the same for her. He maneuvered so he was on top again before reaching for a condom.
They made love falling asleep in each others arms. The next morning Tracy awoke to find a pair of blue eyes gazing at her.
"Morning," she said.
"Morning doll."
"You know I really miss the kids," she told him.
Link nodded. "So do I but we need a little mommy and daddy time."
She leaned over and French kissed him. "That we do. I do have to say that it has been quite enjoyable so far."
"It most certainly has," he said smiling.
Over the next few days they went to see Ann Margaret perform, comics and even drove to Laughlin for a couple of days. Link chartered a hot air balloon ride.
"Oh Linky, this is so romantic," Tracy said as they drifted high above the city. The sun was setting.
"It is amazing," Link agreed kissing her forehead. They drifted over the Colorado River.
Tracy tilted her head and captured Link's lips in a sweet kiss that quickly turned into a French kiss. The cooler air made her shiver slightly since she was wearing a sleeveless red dress. Link shrugged out of his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. Tracy kissed him again in thanks.
"Want some champagne?" Link asked.
Tracy looked to him. "What are we toasting to?"
"To us, to Vegas, to our wonderful honeymoon."
"I'll drink to that," Tracy said smiling.
Link poured two glasses and handed one to her.
"To us and our wonderful honeymoon in Vegas," Tracy said clinking her glass to his.
Link smiled as they took a sip. She leaned her head on his shoulder as his free arm wrapped around her waist.
They shopped in Laughlin the next day before returning to Vegas. They found their way to the Grand Canyon the next afternoon. They took donkeys on the trail. They then returned to their hotel and order room service, ordering two cokes, and hot open turkey sandwiches.
"Riding on that donkey has made me stiff," Tracy said as they waited for their food. She was sitting on the bed.
Link sat behind her and started massaging her neck. Tracy groaned as he did so.
"That feels nice," she told him.
He placed kisses down her neck making her giggle.
"No that feels really nice," she said.
"Feel any better?" he asked her.
"Much," she said before turning around and capturing his lips.
Link groaned as they heard a knock on the door. He stood and went to open it soon returning with their dinner. After they ate they resumed their previous their previous activity.
Soon it was time for them to go back home. They were happy to be going home but sad to see their time alone come to a close. Link helped Tracy pack as they hailed a cab and headed for the airport.
