Snow flakes leave icy pinpricks on my skin as I cross the deck, bare feet sliding on wood, wet and slick with ice. Gail is a vision of beauty obscured, softened by steam rising from our tub. I carefully place my wine glass on the edge and vault into the hot water with a splash and a sigh. Not so graceful, but I'm here, and this is heaven! Gail smiles and reaches for my hands, pulling me in to her in the center of the tub. Our breath mingles in white puffs adding to the steam. Her skin feels electric, molten and velvet as our bodies rub lightly together, floating, barely touching, but enough to light a fire in my core. I still can't believe how wonderful she has made tonight. It's a side of her that I believe she is just allowing to shine through, a side she would have called a weakness not too long ago.
She touches my face so softly with fingertips that ghost up my cheek, feather over my eyebrows and eyelids, and whisper across my lips, her eyes wide and full of love and wonder, before she leans in to kiss me again. It's as if she is trying to embed every contour of my face into her memory forever. Her mouth opens inviting me in, hands pulling gently now at my waist to glide me onto her lap. Her eyes fly open with a gasp as I lightly palm her breasts, and rub her quickly stiffening nipples between thumbs and forefingers. She moans and grips my butt hard, pulling me apart, hot water heightening all sensation as she shifts to ride me on her hip. I moan into her lips, leaning in to kiss her harder now, more insistently. I reach up and brush the ice from her hair, running it through my fingers, and finally rubbing her head to tousle it gently. She pushes her head against my hand, eyes half shut with pleasure. She runs her fingertips up and down my spine causing me to shiver.
Without warning, she pushes me away and scoots to a corner of the tub where she picks up her wine. I mirror her actions on the other side of the tub, suddenly unsure if Gail is going into sensory overload, or simply retreat, or what. The wine is cool and strong, going straight to my head. I breathe deeply, realizing the combination of hot water and wine has relaxed every muscle, every fiber, every reflex in my body, and wonder if it is having the same effect on Gail.
"Thank you again for tonight", I begin, "This is…"
Her legs stretch across the tub until her toes find mine.
"I just wanted to take a moment," She says softly, "I wanted to take a moment before… well… you know…"
I can't help but grin at her. I love it when she becomes emotionally open and kind of bashful. I wiggle my eyebrows at her over the rim of my glass.
"Stop it!" She splashes water at me, "I'm trying to tell you something!"
I put down my glass and look into her eyes. "I'm listening."
"I know the past month or so has been hard on you. Ever since… well, you know, ever since I got hurt. And I know its been stressing you out, and you worry…" She continues.
"It's ok Gail". I try to sooth.
"No, it's obviously not ok." She insists.
I sigh because she is right. I have been trying to hide it, but I do worry.
"Anyway, I don't know how to fix that, but I can promise to do everything in my power to walk through that door in one piece, and always find a way to come home to you." She says crossing the tub and sitting next to me. "Just promise me you won't freak out and leave me. Or at least warn me before you do…"
Her eyes are enormous. I kiss her gently and murmur "I love you Gail, and I'm not going anywhere, even if your dangerous job does freak me out sometimes."
She scoots closer and lifts me off the seat, her hands on my lower back floating my body between the heat of the water and the cold snowy air. She leans down to carefully kiss each one of my ribs. The front of my body is very cold; the back of my body is hot. The heat of her mouth on my breast makes me moan and shake. She slides a hand up my body to support my head as she sucks harder on my nipple. I think, anything that feels this good should probably be illegal. She works her way down my sternum with tongue and lips, kissing my belly, and making her way between my legs. She kisses the top of my pelvic bone and looks up to smile into my eyes. I reach back to grip the edge of the tub behind me to steady myself. I hear myself gasp as she edges lower, teasing me with the tip of her tongue. Weightless, my body rests in her hands that buoy me up to press against the heat of her wanting mouth. My breath comes in gasps and sighs.
"Fuck!" I exhale as she enters me deeply, curling her fingers against my sweet spot.
The fingers of my left hand tangle in her hair, as I grip the edge of the tub tighter, holding on and pulling her deeper into me.
"Harder!" I whimper.
My body arches into her rhythm, desperate for release. She pulls her arm back, teasing my entrance before slamming into me with all her might. Her eyes are closed, her whole body rocks with mine. She opens her eyes. I hear my own cries growing louder. My eyes close, literally seeing stars as my world implodes. She ducks under my leg and floats up next to me to hold me close.
She whimpers as I reach for her and cries out as I enter into her waiting core. I kiss her hard, knowing only her, only this as she enters me again. Her nails dig into my shoulder and my fingers grip her waist. Our faces touching as our breath comes out in gasps and cries. She groans and bites my neck to muffle her scream as she cums hard on my fingers. Looking up with eyes that pierce my soul she cums again, sending me reeling over the edge with her.
"I love you!" I manage to gasp, mid-orgasm, still holding her gaze.
Tears well up in her eyes.
"I love you, Holly!" She whispers back as her whole body shakes and goes rigid.
Scooting back to sit in one of the seats, she pulls me across her lap, cradling me in her arms. The realization hits me then as I look at her, skin flushed, bathed in steam, snow sticking to her hair and eyelashes, that this is what happiness is. It swells up in my chest and fills my heart to overflowing. Wrapping my arms around her neck I kiss her, because there are no more words.
