Bill pulled into the parking lot of the La Playa Hotel in Carmel; He opened Elizabeth's door and helped her out while an employee of the hotel got their bags from the trunk. He wrapped his arm around Elizabeth's waist and guided her into the lobby where they were quickly checked in to their room.
As their luggage was brought into the room, Elizabeth walked to the window and her breath caught as she saw the view. After the bellboy had left, Bill strode over to Elizabeth and wrapped his arms around her and ran his lips across the back of her neck.
"Would you like to take a walk on the beach?" Bill asked softly as he kissed her ear.
"Yes." Elizabeth turned to face Bill and she saw the desire in his eyes, "It's so beautiful and this is my first time in Carmel. I want to be able to experience everything it has to offer.
"It will be my pleasure to show you everything." Bill's voice was low and silky and Elizabeth's breath caught in her throat as she heard the emphasis on the word pleasure. Her lips lifted with a mysterious smile and Bill bent down to capture her lips with his. Elizabeth arched herself against his body and felt the hunger in Bill's kiss as his tongue discovered the depths of her mouth. Elizabeth responded as she deepened the kiss and moved seductively against his body.
Bill relinquished her lips with a moan, "We'd better take our walk." The words Bill spoke were hoarse with passion, "When I kiss you, I forget everything else but you."
Elizabeth smiled at the man who was now her husband and she ran a hand along his face down to his jaw. He closed his eyes to enjoy the feeling that she was evoking in him. "But first, let me call Jane and check in before we take our walk."
Elizabeth called Jane and talked to her for a few minutes as she gave her their hotel and phone number. Jane told Elizabeth that David and Anne Marie were both on their best behavior before she put Anne Marie on the phone.
"Hi, Mommy," Anne Marie said with a giggle.
"Hi Sweetheart," Elizabeth answered with a slight catch in her voice. She loved when Anne Marie called her Mommy.
"Mommy," Anne Marie said, "I like to collect pretty seashells so if you could bring me some I would be very happy."
"Your Daddy and I are going to the beach so I will make sure to find some pretty seashells for you." Elizabeth promised.
"Daddy always brings me some kind of present when he goes anywhere." Anne Marie said with a matter-of-fact tone that reminded Elizabeth of a teacher giving pertinent information to a student.
"I'm sure we will find you something wonderful." Elizabeth couldn't keep the smile off her face, "Do you want to talk to your daddy?"
"Yes, please." Anne Marie said politely, "I love you, Mommy."
"I love you too, baby."
Elizabeth handed the phone to Bill and his daughter talked to him while Bill nodded and said yes a few times, "Good-bye baby, give David a hug for us." Bill nodded again and said, "Okay, we'll do that."
"What did she say?" Elizabeth asked as she found her curiosity peaked.
"She said that we still need to kiss a lot because her Aunt Georgiana told her that married people kiss a lot too." Bill's mouth twitched with humor.
Elizabeth giggled, "Is that all?"
"No," Bill pulled his wife closer, "She is also still determined that we are going to give her a baby sister for Christmas."
"You didn't agree to that, did you?" Elizabeth demanded as she narrowed her eyes.
Bill looked at her with a wolfish grin as he wrapped his arms around her, "Not exactly but I think that we will have fun trying to fulfill our obligation."
Elizabeth blushed and lowered her eyes as Bill gathered her into his arms and kissed her with a passion that came from his incredible happiness.
He pulled back from her with great reluctance as he wrapped his arm around her waist and guided her from the room.
They walked the couple blocks to the beach and as soon as they arrived at the sandy beach, Elizabeth kicked off her shoes and ran bare-footed through the sand.
Bill watched as his wife twirled around and around as she gloried in the feel of the sand beneath her feet.
He took off his shoes and socks as he saw Elizabeth run into the waves so that the water rose around her knees. His heart swelled with love as he saw the joy on her face as she played in the water. Bill joined her in the water and picked her up and swung her around in circles. Elizabeth giggled like a school girl and Bill felt her exuberance wash over him as the waves hit him around the knees.
As he followed Elizabeth's example, Bill learned to turn off his serious nature and frolicked on the beach with his wife.
Before they left the beach, Elizabeth searched the sands for seashells to take to Anne Marie, "I think that's enough." Bill finally cautioned as he saw the pile she had accumulated.
The newly married couple took a walk to the downtown shops of Carmel and Elizabeth was delighted with all of the wonderful shops and restaurants they found. They found a bath house where Bill got some candles and perfume for Elizabeth. After lunch they found a toy store and bought a Victorian Doll House and Accessories for Anne Marie and a Fire Truck Pedal Car for David. After arranging for the gifts to be wrapped and shipped, Bill took Elizabeth's hand in his and the couple walked through the park and continued their exploration of Carmel.
By the time mid afternoon was upon them, Bill and Elizabeth made their way back to their hotel room.
"I'm kind of hot," Elizabeth said as she moved to the suitcase, "I'd like to take a swim before dinner."
Bill crossed the room quickly and took Elizabeth into his arms, "I agree that you're hot but I had an entirely different activity in mind."
Elizabeth's eyes widened at his implication before his mouth descended upon hers and staked his claim. With gentle pressure his tongue sought entrance and as his mouth tasted hers, his hands slipped under the hem of her dress to the overheated skin. He heard her intake of breath and grinned as his hands moved higher on her skin and found the round curves of her derrière as he pulled her against his hips.
The blood rushed to her cheeks as she felt his arousal and with a groan Bill deepened the kiss. A soft sound escaped Elizabeth's lips as she pushed gently against his chest and broke the kiss. "Bill, please, let's go for a swim."
Bill smiled as the disappointment coursed through his body, "Okay, but I'd better take a cold shower first." He grinned at his wife, "I don't think I should go to the pool like this."
Elizabeth blushed again as she saw the effects of their aborted love making, "I'll get changed while you're in the shower."
When Bill came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his hips, Elizabeth was waiting for him in a blue bikini with a sarong wrapped around her waist.
As he stared at his sexy wife, Bill's reaction was immediate, "Damn." He cursed under his breath, "Fat lot of good that cold shower did."
Elizabeth giggled at her husband's expanding predicament, "You take care of your little problem and I'll meet you at the pool."
"Little problem." Bill growled as he caught Elizabeth by her waist, "There's nothing little about my problem, here let me show you." He pulled at the end of the towel as Elizabeth squirmed in his arms. Bill felt the delicious torture of her body as it moved against him and felt his need grow, "You are not helping the situation." His voice was harsh with passion as he crushed her lips under his with a feverish kiss that left them both breathless.
As she stood breathing heavily in her husband's arms, Elizabeth said dryly, "Still hot here."
"And don't I know it." Bill lifted her into his arms and laid her on the bed as he stood just drinking in the beauty of her body.
Elizabeth scrambled off the bed and grabbed the key card for the room as she headed for the door, "I'm going to the pool, whether you're coming or not."
"Fine," Bill said with a chuckle, "But if you think I'm letting you go out like that without me, you are very much mistaken."
He grabbed his swimming trunks from the suitcase and went into the bathroom to change. Elizabeth heard the shower run again and giggled. When Bill emerged a few minutes later, he looked refreshed and incredibly gorgeous with his curly black hair wet from the shower and his still water slicked body was gleaming in the sun.
Bill strode across the room and wrapped his arm around Elizabeth's waist, "Are you ready, my darling."
He thought he caught a blazing look of desire in Elizabeth's eyes before she answered, "I am."
The pair left the room and made their way to the pool. They found a couple of open lounge chairs and Bill couldn't miss the appreciative stares of the other male guests toward his wife.
Elizabeth wasted no time and immediately shed her sarong as she slid into the cool water. She called to Bill, "This feels great, you should join me."
He didn't need a second invitation and joined his wife in the pool. As he reached her and moved to take her in his arms, she splashed him with water and quickly dove under the water and swam for the other side.
"So you want to play, my love." Bill said with a smile as he wiped the water from his eyes. Elizabeth had come to a stop at the end of the pool and Bill dove under as he stroked his way toward his wife. She moved to swim back but he came up underneath her and caught her around the waist.
He whispered softly in her ear, "I'm more than willing to play with you, my dear."
He pressed his lips hard against hers and demanded her surrender as he plunged the depths of her soul with his kiss. She wrapped her legs around him and kissed him back with a ferocity that took him by surprise. She ran her fingers through his hair and pressed her body against his in her desire to get closer.
His breath became uneven as the passion raged between them. Bill looked into Elizabeth's eyes and saw they were dark with desire.
He needed no further encouragement and with Elizabeth still in his arms, he swam back across the pool and carried his wife out. He stopped to grab their things and with Elizabeth still in his arms made his way back to their room.
Once there, he opened the door and moved across the room. He laid her on the bed and slid in beside her as he crushed her body to his and drank deeply from her lips. He heard her heart racing and with a swift movement untied her bikini top and removed it. He stopped for a minute while he took in the beauty of his wife.
He kissed her as he rubbed himself against her bare skin and marveled in the exquisite pleasure. He placed light kisses along her ear and made his way down to her ample breasts. Her breath quickened as he ran his thumb against her nipple as it bloomed beneath his touch. He bent to taste her and she writhed and moaned beneath him as her hands explored the hard planes of his body.
Elizabeth's hands settled upon his arousal and pulled at the waist of his swim trunks. His lips slid down her body and his finger hooked her bikini bottoms as he removed them. He shed his swim trunks and with slow and deliberate movements, he brought Elizabeth and himself to the height of pleasure and beyond as they explored the sensual world of love.
As they lay entangled together, Bill kissed his wife and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Fulfilled and satisfied." Elizabeth said as a blush crept up her neck before she sought her husband's eyes, "And you?"
"You have made me the happiest man alive." He drank deeply of his wife's lips, "You are perfect in every way."
"I'm glad to hear you feel that way." Elizabeth said as she ran her hand along his hip and raked her nails across the tight muscles of his rear.
He nibbled at her ear and whispered, "So you want to play some more." He lowered his head to take her nipple in his mouth, "I'm more than willing to comply, my love." He said as he pulled her tightly against him as his arousal grew.
"No more cold showers." Elizabeth asked with a smirk.
"Never again, not if I can help it." Bill groaned as he took his wife to places she had never been before.
