What could have been

by son-goku5

In this story, Penny meets Leonard in a bar before she moves in next to him. Things happen. STORY IS RATED M FOR A REASON, MATURE CONTENT INSIDE. Please R&R. Chapter 90 is up :)

91. Chapter 91

So, I had let this story lie for a long time. It started with a severe writer's block and then the show ended, which often leads to an inability to start it up again. Then more time passes and it becomes even harder to continue. I started to write A Different World to get back into the groove, but time constraints never really allowed me to write more for this story, given that the chapters are a lot more extensive then in my other stories.

Then I herniated a disk in my back. And then a reader contacted me via PM in fanfiction and talked to me about this story, and it made me think about it more, enough to actually continue writing the chapter I had started so long ago.

So, without further ado, this is the fruit of two weeks of labor (and another few weeks before my writer's block). It'll probably be not as good as you might remember the story but again, I'm still trying to find my rhythm again.

So, enjoy :)

"Wow, it's beautiful here." Penny commented in awe when the car pulled up at their honeymoon stay. "The mountains, the green and brown."

"Still wondering why I always wanted to come here?" Leonard grinned and took some of the luggage from the trunk, their driver taking the rest.

"Thank you." Penny smiled to the driver and handed him a bill as tip. "I must admit, this looks exactly like the movie house."

"Except for the regular door, the TV, the LED lights acting as fire chandeliers and in this house, what was the pantry in the movies is now a bathroom with a toilet and a shower and a bathtub." he winked. "And the kitchen in this house has a fridge and stove."

"Thank God!" Penny sighed a breath of relief. "I always wondered what kind of plumbing they had in the movies."

"It's better not to think about that too much." he chuckled.

"How many messages do you think we got from Sheldon?" Penny wondered and took her phone.

"Keep your mobile data and especially the GPS function off and activate only wireless." he advised her. "Then we can receive the messages without him being possibly able to triangulate our position."

"Isn't it kinda sad that we have to do this to avoid him showing up?" she sighed.

"Yeah, but it is what it is." he shrugged. "I hope Amy manages to get him to accept that after this trip, we're moving in together."

"What happens if she doesn't?" she asked.

"Then he'll have to accept it on his own." he replied. "You're my wife now and I love you. I want to live with you, not with a man-child with abandonment issues."

"I love you too." she smiled and kissed him. "So, lunch? All that airplane food made me hungry for something real."

"Sure." he nodded. "Wanna make something ourselves or wanna go to the restaurant?"

"Restaurant." she stated and took his hand.

Outside their little hovel, she saw the mountains in the distance, clouds swirling around the peak while the rest of the sky was blue, the autumn sun shining down on them. Due to the season, it wasn't overbearingly hot but still warm and Penny looked forward to do the activities that this hotel offered. She gave a tiny squeak at the sight of the stables behind the hotel, thoughts of riding out dominating her mind until they entered the restaurant.

"Ah, the honeymoon couple." a female waitress said upon coming close to their table.

"Word spreads fast." Penny commented.

"This late in the season, we rarely have people booking the Hobbit houses, so yeah, word spreads fast." the young woman smiled. "I'm Adriana, and I'll be your waitress tonight."

"It's lunchtime." Leonard chuckled.

"Yeah, sorry, but I think I'm supposed to say that." Adriana shrugged.

"No, you're not." Penny shook her head. "I was a waitress before too, you only say it like that in the evening."

"Then what do I say at lunch?"

"The same, without the tonight." Penny grinned. "You haven't done this for long, have you?"

"No, second week." Adriana shook her head. "Do you know what you want or do you need menus?"

"What's a New Zealand specialty?" Leonard asked.

"Crayfish." Adriana told him. "It's a rock lobster. Bit more expensive than other foods but very tasty."

"Then we'll take that." Penny nodded. "And can I get some pineapple juice?"

"Water for me is fine." Leonard said.

"Coming right up." Adriana nodded and headed to the kitchen area.

"I think I'm going to ignore my vegetarianism for parts of this honeymoon." Penny chuckled.

"Why?" Leonard asked.

"Look." she pointed behind him.

"Hangi day." he read. "'Take part in the Maori hangi feast on Saturday. Gorge yourself on vegetables and meat smoked all day long in an underground oven.' That looks tasty."

"It does." she nodded. "And we had smoked meat at our wedding, so we know it tastes great."

"Yeah." he agreed.

"So, what's there to do here?" she asked.

"Close by?" he asked back. "There are the Waitomo Caves, there's nature walks, waterfalls, hot water beaches..."

"Uh, we'll definitely go there." she grinned.

"Then there's the Lord of the Rings tour, where they show you iconic places that were in the movies, like Weathertop."

"I'm guessing we'll take those too." she chuckled.

"You betcha." he grinned this time.

"Seriously though, this hotel complex is weird." she said. "I mean, they have a ship, a plane and a train car for people to sleep in."

"We also get special treatment, since those stays are usually just for one or two nights at a time." he said and saw the waitress approach with a large tray. "Ah, our food is here."

"Thanks." Penny nodded at the woman after she had put down the plates and the drinks.

"Wow, this is good." Leonard hummed after he tasted the lobster.

"I'm glad they don't have an aquarium where you can actually choose the lobster they're going to cook for you." she said. "I always hate that."

As they ate, Penny looked around, seeing about half the tables occupied, an indication of how well this complex ran even this late in the season. She had to admit, the Crayfish was very tasty, the meat soft once she got it out of the shell. She saw a small piece of their food sticking to Leonard's lower lip, making her grin for some strange reason.

"What?" he asked.

"Do this." she smiled and wiped her own lip.

"Thanks." he smiled back after catching the piece.

They finished their food in relative silence, both observing the other guests. Their young waitress did a good job, quickly taking away their empty plates and wishing them a happy day as they left the restaurant. Since both were still pretty beat from the long flight, they took a bus to the city of Hamilton and strolled around the area, taking a walk along the river and visiting the local zoo.

And after a light dinner, they took the bus back and decided to head to their hotel room to spend the rest of the day just relaxing. Leonard turned on the TV, seeing the local news and since it was a smart TV, turned on the Youtube app to watch a documentary about the country, to see what they could do. He wrote down some of the country's famous sites and looked them up to see how far away they were while Penny seemed to be engrossed in the program.

"Wanna head to bed?" he asked her, surprising her.

"What time is it?" she asked as she stretched her body.

"Only after nine, but I'm somewhat beat." he told her.

"Yeah, lets." she nodded and headed into the bathroom.

She took a quick shower and brushed her teeth, Leonard doing the same once she was finished. When he entered the bedroom clad only in his sleep shorts, he found Penny standing against the wall, wearing the red nightgown she sometimes had worn at home already.

"You are so beautiful." he sighed when he saw her, lust in her eyes, approaching and kneeling down in front of him.

She pulled his shorts off of him, stood up and pushed him, leaving him naked on the bed. Smiling warmly, she stood up straight and pulled off the shoulder straps of her nightgown, allowing the entire thing to fall to the floor. The sight of her naked body still had the same reaction on him, his manhood rising and straightening out until it stood at erect attention.

Still smiling, she put a knee on the bed, then the second. Slowly crawling forward, she dropped kisses on the skin of his leg, feeling her lips slightly pricked by his leg hair but she decided to ignore that. Upon reaching his crotch, she gently took his testicles into her hand and ran her tongue over them, making him shiver. She kept her tongue moving, running it along his shaft until she reached the tip, surrounding it with her lips and starting to suck on it.

He groaned loudly, his hand pressing her head down but she resisted his push and slapped his hand away. He got the message and put his hands behind his head to enjoy what she had planned and she continued her ministrations by very gradually increasing the force of what she was doing. She had no idea how long she had been doing the tip but when she felt him move his hips, she pushed her head down, taking all of him into her mouth in one smooth motion.

"Oh my god!" Leonard exclaimed loudly, his hips rising up.

Wrapping her thumb and index finger around his base, she vigorously bobbed her head up and down. Leonard's groaning became louder and more and more urgent and in a moment of pure torture, she pressed her lips together and pulled her head up, releasing him with a pop and still holding his base together until he had calmed down without climaxing.

"You torturous vixen!" he said accusingly, breathing hard.

"You still love me." she shrugged and sat up.

"I do." he nodded and his breath hitched again when she crawled forward again. "Memories."

"What?" she asked confused, sitting down on his chest.

"Remember our first time together, in that motel?" he asked.

"Of course." she confirmed. "You were wearing a beige hoodie and brown pants. Black shorts and Spiderman socks."

"You remember all that?" he was surprised.

"Don't you?"

"You were wearing jeans shorts and a green shirt with deep cleavage as well as a white bra and panties of the same color." he chuckled. "But what I was referring to was that you did the same crawling on the bed that you did just now, only then, you still had your shirt and bra on but nothing below."

"Full circle, huh?" she giggled.

"Back then, I thought that there's no way that anyone could be more beautiful than you were on that day." Leonard continued. "But I was wrong."

"What?" she was shocked.

"You're more beautiful today than you were back then." he revealed.

"Pff." she huffed and showed him her left hand. "Leonard, you see this ring?"

"Of course." he nodded.

"That ring means that you got me." she laughed. "There's no need to schmooze me up like this."

"Just the truth." he stated and Penny knew that he meant every word of it.

"I love you, Leonard."

"I love you too." he smiled up at her. "Now scoot."

"Excuse me?"

"Scoot forward." he ordered. "I've been smelling your arousal for the past two minutes and I need to taste you."

Grinning, she did as he demanded, lifting her hips and moving forward. Understanding, Leonard lifted his head up, allowing her to cross her legs under it and he laid back down, using her lower legs and ankles like a cushion. She leaned back and pushed herself towards his mouth and his hands ran along her legs to allow him to control the last few inches.

When his tongue touched her folds, she began to moan. He had done this ever since they got together all those years ago and she knew that she would never get tired of it. His hands moved to her thighs, exerting pressure on them to get her closer to him and after several minutes of his tongue running along her folds, he suddenly pushed it into her, moving it rapidly along her inner walls.

She groaned loudly at the sudden spike in pleasure and lifted her body back up in a vertical position. She used her weight to press herself harder onto him, allowing his tongue to reach even deeper. Trying but failing miserably to stay still, her lower body began moving slowly, and even though it caused her some discomfort in her ankles, given her own weight and Leonard's head pressing on them, she couldn't stop herself from doing it.

Leonard's hands left her thighs and moved up, cupping her breasts and running along her hard nipples. He gently pinched them, causing her to hiss in even more pleasure, and then ran his fingers gently along her areolae, letting them flick over her nipples from time to time. Looking down, she saw his eyes closed and the part of his face she could see very relaxed, a complete opposite to the fervor with which he moved his tongue.

"Yeah baby, lick it!" she ordered in a whisper. "Make me come."

To follow her order, he moved one of his hands between her legs and began rubbing her clit. She threw her head back at this double attack and a two minutes later, she shook in a climax, making her chuckle as she slowly lifted her body to slide down his body, even though he tried to hold her in her position.

"Why did you stop?" he asked.

"I didn't do anything." she giggled. "But you don't have to lick me so long."

"I know." he shrugged. "But I want to. I love it when I feel and taste your pleasure."

"Make love to me." she said, looking into his eyes.

Without answering, Leonard took her by the shoulders and rolled them around, ending up on top of her. He reached down and took one of her knees, pulling at it and she spread them apart, presenting her core to him. Looking into her eyes, he lined himself up without having to use his hand and pushed, his tip going past her labia and penetrating further. With a satisfied sigh, Leonard thrust forward until he was fully in, her moist insides giving little resistance despite her tightness.

"Mmmmh, I never get tired of this feeling." she hummed, reaching down with her hands to cup his ass. "Move your hips."

"As you wish, me lady." he said with an exaggerated accent and began thrusting.

She pulled his head down to kiss him while he moved. Her legs went around his hips, her ankles crossing and she used them to guide his tempo until they reached a rhythm she had never felt with any of the men she had had sex with before Leonard. They moved in blissful harmony, two bodies molded as one while their tongues languidly played with each other, neither trying to be dominant over the other.

Of course, it couldn't last. As her tight insides massaged his tip, he felt his climax coming closer and without planning it, he sped up. Penny noticed the increase in speed and moved with him, knowing what was coming and wanting to get more friction for herself. Leonard made a minute change in angle and suddenly, her pleasure increased exponentially, making her breathing increase sharply as the spring inside her began coiling quickly.

"Leonard, keep doing that." she pleaded.

"I'm almost there." he grunted.

"Me too!" she squealed. "I'M THERE!"

With the suddenness of an earthquake, she climaxed, her body shaking hard while Leonard tried unsuccessfully to keep the rhythm going. Doing a mental shrug, he gave up his efforts and placed his feet on the mattress, using the new leverage to pummel her hard, making her squeal in surprise and more pleasure until he climaxed as well with a groan that would make a bear jealous.

"That was phenomenal." Penny hummed when they had settled. "You did that thing again."

"What thing?" he asked confused.

"You do that sometimes when we have sex when you change the angle just a small bit." she tried to explain it. "Whatever you do, it makes what I feel ten times more intense."

"I'm pretty sure that if I try to find that sweet spot on purpose, I will be unsuccessful." he shrugged.

"Then keep doing what you usually do, I'll tell you every time when you get it and maybe one day we will know how you do it." she giggled and dropped a kiss on his lips.

"Our first time as husband and wife." he grinned at her.

"Well, if we're honest, our first time as husband and wife was drunken sex after an Elvis impersonator married us."

"Did we even have sex after that?" he wondered. "To this day I can't remember anything of that night."

"No idea." she agreed with a laugh. "Though knowing us and me in particular, I'm pretty sure we had a very sloppy romp when we got back to our room."

"Why would it be sloppy?"

"Because we were both piss drunk and I doubt we had any coordination between us." she chuckled. "Can you hand me a tissue, please?"

"Sure." he nodded and handed her a box.

She took one and wiped the area between her legs, then took a second and pushed it partially into her to catch anything that might come out. She rolled onto her side and rested her head on his chest and lifted her left hand, holding out her fingers. Leonard lifted his left hand as well and rested it under hers, but offset, so that her fingers could go between his. Their wedding bands clicked together, making Penny sigh in content.

"Finally married." she hummed. "If I think about how long it took you to finally agree to this."

"Yeah, I thought a few times about running away." he nodded gravelly, making her laugh.

"I'm so glad we overcame all this shit that happened." she said.

"Me too." he agreed.

"What are we doing tomorrow?" she asked.

"How about we visit Rangitoto Island?" he suggested. "It's an uninhabited volcanic island and a bird life nature reserve."

"Is it far from here?" she wanted to know.

"About 2 hours by car." he said. "We should get a rental for the duration of our stay."

"Why don't we do that Waitomo Cave tour tomorrow and then we could make a list of what we can do on the other days." she suggested.

"That's a great idea." he nodded. "After that tour, we will do a proper itinerary for our stay here, using that list you made."

"Agreed." she nodded.

---

"The caves were first explored by my ancestors." the man who acted as their guide, told them. "These formations took about thirty million years to form."

"Where are the glowworms?" Penny asked. "Isn't this cave named after them?"

"We'll get to them." the man chuckled. "They're in the caves below us."

They followed the man as he explained the history of the caves a little more, its geological formations and how it became one of New Zealand's best natural attractions and Penny could believe it. The cave was beautiful, stalactites and stalagmites everywhere and even though it was supposed to be a water cave, it was comparatively dry.

"Alright, we're about to go to the second cave." their guide told them. "It will be a boat ride and I ask you to be quiet. Glowworms do not like noise."

"So, phones off." one of the other tourists chuckled.

"Or on mute." their guide nodded. "We will go through several steam passages and end up in the Cathedral, which is the tallest chamber in the cave."

The group sat down into the small boat and the steersman pushed it forward. The stream was just wide enough for the boat and it was obvious that it was either natural and was then modified with the low wooden walls on it side to control its flow or that it was built like this from the ground up. When they entered the cave proper, Penny gasped at the sight.

Thousands of glowworms lined the walls and ceiling, creating a writhing, moving light show. The thought of this being made by thousands of worms made Penny shudder for a moment, imagining these worms to just drop down on them but slowly, the boat made its way through the stream, sometimes close enough to the wall that she could touch them.

A while later, with everyone staying silent, they entered the cathedral, Penny gaping at the large space. The quiet made it even more amazing, the tranquility not disturbed by people chatting or even just the sounds of cameras clicking. Most of the tourists, Penny included, hat their phones out to film, but nobody disturbed the view by making flash photography.

After another hour, they exited the cave again. They entered the shuttle and were driven the short distance to the Ruakari cave, the second in the tour. This one was different, and they entered it through a man-made spiral staircase, which already provided a spectacular view of the limestone formations and crystal tapestries.

"What's that noise?" she asked, keeping her voice low.

"That's subterranean waterfalls." their guide told them.

"Can you tell us something about the worms?" Leonard asked the man.

"Certainly." he nodded. "The eggs are deposited directly onto the wall. After hatching, the larvae immediately begin to glow. By the way, what you see here is only a fraction of the worms that are normally here during the spring."

"Wow." Leonard commented. "Maybe you should have not done your movies and we could have come here when it was spring."

"Yeah, yeah." she poked out her tongue.

"Anyway, over several months, the larva grow to about eight to ten times there birth size. Then they begin selecting a site for their nest." the guide continued. "After they have built the nest, they hang up to thirty silk threats along the ceiling, along which they place small sticky droplets on. When a prey insect gets caught up in them, the larva pulls it up by eating the snare and then they feed on their prey while its still alive."

"What do they eat?" another tourist asked.

"They largely eat small diptera, especially midges but those worms living on the banks sometimes trap small spiders or other non-flying invertebrates." their guide replied. "The larva goes through five stages of development, which are called instars. After that, the larva will suspend itself on a long thread and pupate for about two weeks, during which the males eventually lose their glow. They hatch during the winter and tend to live for three to four days, during which they mate. The females then lay roughly a hundred eggs and the cycle begins anew."

"Do they have predators in here?" Leonard wanted to know.

"Of course." the guide nodded. "Their main enemies are harvestmen..."

"What?"

"Sorry. Harvestmen are spiders. You maybe know them by the name daddy longlegs. Other dangers for the worms are parasitic funi."

They continued the tour, which consisted of four major sections. They were told that the lighting in the cave was created solely by renewable energy, mainly solar, and that it had full wheelchair access, allowing disabled people to enjoy the caves as well. At the end, they emerged back into daylight, their guide led them back to the visitor center, where they enjoyed a light lunch of the almost ubiquitous crayfish and thick fries, essentially the New Zealand version of fish and chips.

A five minute walk later, they arrived at the entrance to what was called the Ruakari scenic reserve, which was a beautiful forest area. Strolling through nature, they arrived at the hidden entrance to their destination, this one called Aranui cave, and their guide led them inside, past a large number of cave wetas that made Penny's skin crawl, since they looked similar to the locusts that she had often seen on her parents' farm when she was a kid.

The cave itself was devoid of live, since no water flowed through it but it was beautiful nonetheless. As their guide led them along boardwalks into narrow chambers that had formations that were more awe-inspiring than in the other two. Huge stalactites in different shades of brown, white and pink lined the high ceilings of the various chambers and the soft lights caused them to sparkle.

Even the best tours ended at some point, and soon enough, the group emerged back into daylight and took the short stroll back to the visitor center. Checking his watch, Leonard thanked the guide and gave him a tip before he and Penny left. As they got back into the rental car Leonard had procured, it began to rain, so he drove them back to their hotel, where they spent the rest of the day cuddling on the couch while the sound of the raindrops hitting outside lulled them into a calm sleep.

---

"Look, we could use a kayak." Penny grinned.

"Fortunately, that's only for the evening tour." Leonard chuckled. "We're stuck with taking the ferry boat."

"Spoilsport." she grinned.

Leonard boarded the ferry with some trepidation. He often suffered from motion sickness when driving and on the open sea, it was even worse. He had put the round patch behind his ear, which administered scopolamine into his body on a time release but he was still worried that he might vomit into the sea.

Luckily, he was able to hold it in. They arrived at the island at a wharf, where another ferry was in the process of loading up the previous tourist group, making him wonder why anyone would go this early. He looked at the volcano, sighing at the miles of walking they would be doing and they set off to the summit track, where their guide led them up the well-worn track all the while talking about the geological history of the island.

When they reached the summit, Leonard had to admit that it had been a good idea to do this. The view was amazing, the surrounding sea roiling in the wind and the main island visible from their spot. After half an hour of sightseeing, the group returned down and Leonard felt the muscles in his back screaming at him from all the walking downwards.

"Finally." he sighed in content when he set foot on dry land again.

"How's your stomach?" she asked concerned.

"A bit queasy but otherwise I feel fine." he nodded and looked at his watch. "Want to get a late lunch?"

"Sure, something light." she nodded.

Instead of a food vendor, they walked into a grocery store and got two salads and some plastic forks, eating the green food outside while sitting on a public bench. Once they were done, they began walking around the town until Penny saw an ice cream store, which she pulled Leonard into.

"What's that?" she pointed at a certain selection on a picture when it was her turn.

"That's our newest creation." the girl behind the counter told her. "It's colossal squid ice cream, made after the colossal squid display in Te Papa museum down in Wellington."

"What are the tentacles made of?"

"Chocolate." came the reply.

"Oh, then I'll take one." she grinned.

"Do you have a lactose free option?" Leonard asked after Penny had gotten her cone.

"Of course."

"Then I'll take one of those."

Leonard paid after receiving his, Penny holding it for him and, hand in hand, both strolled down the sidewalk while eating their ice creams. Penny making sure not to drop any of the chocolate pieces. She made a mental note to visit that museum if they went to Wellington during the honeymoon and kept walking. A glance to the right made her squeal and she pulled Leonard along, who could only groan when he saw what Penny had spotted. They entered the shoe store and Penny giggled as she walked around.

"Can I help you with choosing something?" the woman working or owning the store asked.

"Do you offer therapy to make her lose that obsession for shoes?" Leonard asked exasperated.

"I heard that!" Penny shouted from a row of shoes over.

"You were supposed to." Leonard chuckled.

"Sorry, can't help you with that." the woman smiled at him. "And frankly, I want people like her in the store."

"Great." Leonard groaned.

"But I do offer free Wi-fi." she grinned. "And you can sit down there."

"That's something, at least." Leonard accepted and sat down.

He turned on the wireless his phone, feeling safe enough to stay online for a while to peruse some news and check his emails. Of course, the first thing that happened was a plethora of messages from Sheldon and some from the rest of the gang. He read some of Sheldon's more recent messages and had to smile when it became apparent from what he was writing that Sheldon did in fact travel to Costa Rica and to the place where Penny had decided their cover stay should be. From his words, he knew that Amy was with him, so at least he wasn't alone.

"Sweetie?" Penny's voice interrupted him. "I'm done."

"Did you leave shoes in the store?" he asked as he stood up and received two bags from her to carry.

"Funny." she gave him a smirk. "Bye, Cyrilla."

"Goodbye Penny, thank you for your business!" the woman called after them as they left.

"You're already on first name basis with her?" Leonard was nonplussed.

"We talked for a while when I was trying on shoes." she shrugged. "So, how many messages did Sheldon send?"

"How do you know I checked them?"

"I could hear the sounds of them arriving." she chuckled.

"Dozens." Leonard told her. "Oh, and he went to Costa Rica with Amy."

"Cool, maybe she was able to convince him to stay for a bit." she giggled and almost began skipping. "I got some new shoes."

"How much?" Leonard looked at her.

"Not that much." she defended herself.

"Penny, how much?"

"Eighteen hundred dollars." she said almost sheepishly.

"Wait, New Zealand dollars or USD?"

"New Zealand, however I did pay with my credit card so we wouldn't have to exchange more money." she said. "I've also called my bank so they won't think it was stolen."

"Still a grand." he did a quick calculation in his head. "Are these shoes made from mosquito leather?"

"Is that even a thing?" she wondered. "But no, nothing that an animal had to die for."

"We should head back soon, we still have a ninety minute drive ahead of us." he told her.

"Wanna get some takeout?"

"How about we buy the ingredients to make a pizza by ourselves?" he suggested.

"That's a great idea!" she smiled.

They went to the nearest grocery store and got ready-made pizza dough, tomatoes, baloney, pepperoni, tomatoes, some peppers, chicken and barbecue strips and to their surprise, they found Muenster cheese in the cheese aisle, Penny picking that up for its almost non-existent lactose content, which would be perfect for Leonard. They would have to grate it first but they had a grater in their kitchen setup, so it wouldn't be a problem.

Laden with another shopping bag, Leonard got behind the wheel again while Penny just enjoyed the countryside as they drove back to their hotel. He stopped the car on the hotel parking lot and they walked the rest of the distance, Leonard opening the large round door that served as the entrance to their underground domicile.

Working together, they cut the various toppings into slices and while Leonard placed them in regular intervals onto the spread out dough, Penny grated the cheese. Once they had their pizza finished, Penny put it into the oven and to pass the time, both took a shower to was the grit of the day off of them before sitting down on the couch. A short time later, the oven timer announced the finish of the pizza and Leonard got it out, using a slicer to cut it into even pieces.

"Oh, that looks good." she commented.

"Tastes good as well." Leonard agreed after taking their first bite.

They ate the pizza in peace, watching some local TV while they did it. Penny chose a movie she had no idea about, not understanding the story but letting it glide over her. When the clock struck eleven, they retired to bed, since the next day, she had decided to go on a wine tour, for which they would have to drive back to Auckland.

---

"How do you feel?" Penny asked when they stepped off the ferry.

"It's fine, the patch works." he made a face.

"Lets get some alcohol into you." she giggled.

The tour would include several vineyards, but not all of them, since the island had thirty of them over an area of almost sixty square miles, way too many to sample all of their wines in a single day. She had read that this island offered wine vacations but they couldn't add one to the honeymoon. The tour would be without a guide this time, only with written instructions on where they were allowed to go on this particular tour.

When they reached the first vineyard, they could see people harvesting the grapes, since harvesting season fell into this time of year on the southern hemisphere. At the main house of the vineyard, the owners had prepared a selection of the wines that were made with the grapes harvested here and both Penny and Leonard partook in the tasting.

"Wow, that's good." Penny commented. "Can we buy some bottles of this?"

"Not here." the woman behind the table told her. "We sell bottles at the resort from where you began this tour. You're welcome to buy as many bottles as you like there."

"We'll get some." Penny told Leonard.

"Yes dear." Leonard chuckled, knowing it was useless to argue with Penny over this.

"You trained him well." the woman grinned.

"Woof, woof." Leonard shrugged, making both women laugh.

They continued, walking to the next vineyard where the process was repeated, with both sampling several wines, Penny also noting down the name of one of them to buy a bottle or two. The entire thing was repeated again and again and by the fifth vineyard, Leonard was kind of tipsy while Penny still felt tine, being used to alcohol more than Leonard.

At every vineyard, Penny noted down various kinds of wine of which she would buy a bottle. At the end of the tour, which was the sixth vineyard, Leonard had trouble walking straight while Penny also felt pretty tipsy already and the last line of her wine list was a scribbled mess. With some difficulty, they made the walk back to the resort where they managed to rent a room for the night, since returning was impossible, given that they had to drive.

When they entered the room, Leonard simply flopped onto the bed head first and immediately fell asleep. Penny, having been able to hold her liquor better, chuckled at that and pushed him into a better sleeping position before going into the bathroom to wash up and to drink some water from the tap. When she was done, she joined Leonard in bed and quickly fell asleep as well.

The next morning, Leonard woke up with a pounding headache, groaning is discomfort into the room and waking Penny up in the process. He managed to get himself into the bathroom for some much needed ablutions and took off his hoodie to wash his face and neck before proceeding to drink several handfuls of water to hydrate his body. He rummaged in his pants pockets and fished out the painkillers he had wisely packed, popping two of them before returning to bed and lying back down.

Penny felt not nearly as bad and after using the bathroom too, she also got back to bed, closing her eyes and simply watching Leonard sleep, hoping that the pills started working when they got up. The ferry would take them back at ten, so they had to get up in an hour if they wanted to partake in the breakfast offerings and buy the wine she had written down. She let Leonard sleep for almost another hour before she shook him awake.

"Sweetie, wake up." she shook him awake but he just murmured. "Wakie, wakie, Wayne."

"Did you just quote Hugo Strange from Arkham City?" he lifted his head.

"Well, I quoted something from that game you played a while ago." she chuckled. "Come on, get up. You stink and need a shower, and then we can get some breakfast. The ferry takes off in a bit over two hours and we have to get the wine before that."

"Okay, okay." he acquiesced and headed into the bathroom where he took his clothes off and stepped into the shower, quickly cleaning himself with the provided soap.

He dried himself off with the hotel towel and put his clothes back on, making room for Penny to also take a shower. Since they didn't have their toothbrushes with them, spending the night having been not planned, they just rinsed their mouths with water before heading out to the breakfast buffet. Leonard helped himself to eggs and fish to get rid of his slight headache he had left from the night before and Penny just ate some toast.

An hour later, Penny was buying the wine she had written down, wincing at the total price. With a grunt, Leonard picked up the first case of wine, Penny the other and they carried them to the ferry wharf, where they put them down and waited for the boat to arrive, both breathing hard and holding their backs due to the strain on their back muscles.

The boat ride was uneventful, Leonard's ear patch working to prevent him from vomiting into the water. An hour later, they were again on firm ground, Leonard giving a sigh of relief at having left the boat. He knew that it wasn't the last time he would be on one but for now, he had solid ground under his feet.

They picked up the wine cases and carried them to the rental car. Leonard opened the trunk and they secured them in the space. While Leonard strapped them down, Penny called hotel, explaining why they hadn't come back to avoid them thinking they had skipped out. She then joined him in the car and he drove off to their next destination.

"I'm not looking forward to another long hike up the mountain." Leonard groaned when he stopped the car and looked at the volcano they would be climbing.

"According to this, it's a surprisingly short walk, albeit a bit steep." Penny showed him the brochure. "We're also not allowed to go inside, just walk around the caldera."

"Nice." he commented on the picture. "We should get some water bottles for the trip, and maybe some sandwiches."

"Good idea." she nodded. "We can buy some overpriced water and food over in that store, that seems to be placed there for the sole reason to supply people like us, who didn't bring them before."

"Nice sarcasm." he chuckled. "Lets go."

True to her suspicion, they bought four overpriced bottles of water and two sandwiches that cost more than a full meal in a low-priced restaurant. They set out on the trail, without a guide again, meeting some other couples or small groups of tourists and even some joggers doing the same trip. The trail was going up but not by much at first but soon enough, they were almost climbing stairs.

Leonard, unused to that kind of walking, had to take a break at some point to give his abused thighs a rest. When they were walking again, he made sure to alternate when he had to take a rather steep step up, so the strain wouldn't always go on his right thigh. After two hours, they finally reached the summit, where they ate their sandwiches before enjoying the view.

"It's a hole in the ground." Penny chuckled.

"But the other view is spectacular." he pointed to their right, where they could see the sprawling city of Auckland.

"It is." she agreed and stepped against him, resting her back against his chest.

They snapped several pictures of the view and of each other before resting a bit more. After another hour of simply enjoying the view, they began their walk to the ancient Maori village that was right next to the volcano. Its main attractions were relics of the past, small statues, the huts themselves and carvings, along with canoes and paddles. Penny was particularly impressed by the paddles, since they were carved with intricate patterns that were more complex than the statues.

After snapping more pictures, they started walking along the downward path. Their destination was on the slopes of the volcano, a place called Eden gardens and Penny could already see it after rounding the latest curve. The entrance fee was pretty steep, twelve New Zealand dollars for a ticket which they called a donation to the gardens, but when they entered, she had to admit that it was worth it.

Due to the season, the gardens were filled with camellias, their colors ranging from white to dark pink. She read on a plaque that they were originally native to China and Japan so they must have been imported. However, that didn't take anything away from the beauty of the gardens and they sat down on the provided benches several times simply to enjoy the view.

When the sky darkened, they returned to their rental car and drove the ninety minutes back to their hotel. After arrival, they enjoyed a light dinner at the hotel restaurant before retiring to their hobbit house. Both took a quick shower and after Leonard had put on some comfortable clothes, he waited for Penny to finish in the bathroom so they could watch a movie.

"Penny, everything okay in there?" he called when she hadn't returned for almost ten minutes of no water running.

"Everything's fine." Penny replied in a seductive voice and when Leonard turned towards the voice, he saw his wife standing naked at the door, her body in a very sexy posture.

"Oh my." he grinned and stood up.

"Wanna make a movie?" she raised her eyebrows a few times.

"What?" he stopped, confused.

"Come on." she waved for him to come after her and he followed her into the bedroom to find their camera on a small table on the side of the room opposite the bed.

"What is this?" he chuckled.

"Well, I distinctly remember you saying that you want to see the video Sam made with Marcia." she told him. "I spent a few minutes of writing down a script of certain positions and we're going to film us having a lot of sex."

"Interesting." he smiled and took the list of positions. "Yep, we can do that."

"I thought so." she winked. "Now get naked and lets start this thing."

"Yes, mam." he laughed and took off his clothes, placing them behind the camera so they wouldn't be seen.

"Camera angle okay?" she asked, while kneeling naked on the floor, her knees on one of the cushions.

"Yeah." he nodded, equally naked, looking at the viewfinder screen of the camera. "We may have to raise the angle for later."

"We can do that with the remote, right?" she wanted to know.

"We should." he replied and pressed the up button the remote, seeing the camera tilt upwards, as did the picture on the TV screen to which the camera was attached to. "Good, it works. You ready?"

"I am." she giggled. "I got the rubber band right here. Though it's not rubber, more like a tiny transport band you can pull as tight as needed and release with a simple flick."

"Where?" he looked to where she was pointing.

"Oh, you can't see it?" she laughed. "Good."

"Ah." he chuckled when she picked it up, its color making it blend with the mattress. "Why is it that color?"

"I got this to hide it from the camera." she shrugged. "I thought it might look weird when a black band is on the base of your penis."

"Or do you just want to make it appear to Sam that I'm a long-lasting monster in bed?" he grinned.

"That thought has crossed my mind but in several of the other videos I've sent already, we were doing it past thirty minutes." she smiled innocently. "Now get a move on, I can't wait anymore."

"We'll have to edit all of this out before you send it to Sam." he told her as he came around the camera to stand next to her, his manhood right beside her face.

"I can only send it to her after we're back in Pasadena anyway." she said. "I don't want to send it via my phone. I doubt the hotel's wifi allows large files to be uploaded."

"We're just have to cut out this conversation." he explained. "And... action!"

"Seriously?" she looked up at him.

"What?" he poked out his tongue. "You're an actress and we're making a movie, in a sense, complete with a script."

"Yeah, but what a way to make me feel like a porn actress." she shook her head with a sigh but then settled and looked into the camera, seeing herself looking on the TV screen. "And writing down a few positions in order isn't really a script."

"Semantics." he grinned.

"Are you sure, it's recording?" she pointed to the camera.

"Yes, the red light is on and the letters REC are there on the camera screen." he confirmed.

"Alright." she said. "Now, a while back I had a little chat with Sam and she told me that she enjoys it when one of us is dominant and the other subservient."

"Are you sure she didn't mean that she likes to see you dominant?" he wondered.

"No, she mentioned both." she confirmed. "However, she also said that she okay if we shared the lead, so to speak."

"Okay." he hesitated. "What are you saying exactly?"

"That I have no issue if you take charge with something." she told him. "I'll take charge of a few things myself."

"Alright." he nodded. "I'll think of something."

"So, the signals clear?"

"One squeeze means go slower. Two squeezes means change position to the next in the plan. Three squeezes means go faster." he nodded. "Finger nail push means stop."

"Good. Now lead me in again." she grinned and manipulated the remote to change the camera view.

"And... action." he said again, this time in a whisper.

"Hey Sam." Penny waved into the camera, making sure that it was only her head and Leonard's crotch area on the screen, his penis somewhat hard already but still hanging down. "Can you believe that I married a pig? I mentioned that you were offering your video with Marcia and Leonard practically ordered me to make a new video of us to trade with you, didn't you Leonard?"

"Oink, oink." Leonard imitated a pig from outside the camera view.

"See?" Penny huffed theatrically and began to stroke Leonard's penis. "So, me being the good wife that I am, I will allow this beautiful, thick, juicy cock to go into my body for your enjoyment."

Grinning, Penny ran her tongue over his shaft, holding it horizontally across her mouth. He began hardening to his full potential almost immediately, his manhood growing in front of her eyes. When it had reached almost its full length, she began sucking on the tip, humming appreciatively as if she was eating a popsicle.

When he was fully erect, she pushed her head further, taking him into her mouth more and more until her lips touched the base. Leonard groaned when she clenched the back of her throat, giving the tip and extra massage and causing him to hiss in pleasure. With almost torturous slowness, she moved her head back and forth, causing him to grumble whenever her lips were anywhere but his base or tip.

Remembering her comment about dominating, Leonard grabbed her head and after looking down at Penny and getting a wink for confirmation, he pushed forward. Faster this time, he thrust into her mouth, Penny doing her best to press her lips together. Because of how her head was situated, he couldn't go as deep as he might have liked to but he also didn't want to tell her to lie down on the bed since they agreed on an order to follow.

After letting him fuck her mouth for about six more minutes, she gave his waist a two squeezes, hidden from the camera by his body. Understanding, he pulled out and didn't push in again and after a quick kiss on the tip, Penny smiled into the camera and stood up. Leonard sat down on the floor and leaned his head back, resting it on the foot of the bed while Penny climbed on top of it, the fact that the bed was missing bedposts making her idea a bit harder to achieve.

Still, she climbed onto the bed, spread her legs wide and leaned back for stability, then lowered her body for him to reach. With his face pushed against her butt, his tongue began moving against her folds, making her moan. Unfortunately, her position was very precarious, the lack of a hard surface to push against making her arms shake already from the strain of holding herself in this position.

"You see how his tongue runs over my folds?" she said, looking directly into the camera.

Luckily, she had one hand on the remote, so she was able to manipulate where the camera was looking at. She zoomed in on the spot, making Leonard's tongue and her folds appear huge. From his position and with her body leaned back like it was, he had no way of reaching her clit and due to his head being pushed against the bed, which tilted his neck backwards a lot, his hands could only push against her legs to alleviate the pressure of her weight. Two minutes later, she pulled back, making him turn his head so he could give her a confused look. She climbed down from the bed and knelt next to him, kissing his lips and then his neck as cover.

"This isn't working as I had envisioned." she whispered into his ear. "Lie down on the bed proper."

Without saying anything, he got up and without hesitation, sat down on the bed before pushing himself backwards so he could lie down properly. She was impressed at his body language, nothing to make it appear that this wasn't planned in advance. When he was on the bed, Penny got on the bed as well, remote in hand and swung her leg over his head, kneeling above him.

After zooming in properly, thanking him silently for getting such a high definition camera, she spread her legs further to lower her body until she was once again sitting on his face, with her upper body leaning against the wall behind her to give the best view for the camera. As his tongue did magic to her again, this time being able to reach her clit, she hoped that she wasn't cutting off his air with her perch on him. His nose surely was pressed shut, or directly against her anus and he most likely would not want to take a deep breath through it.

"Can you see how his tongue is moving against me?" she spoke loudly enough for the camera microphone to pick her voice up. "Such a glorious feeling."

Due to her position, he couldn't lick her clit properly, only flick his tongue against it when he extended it as far as possible. He made that up by vigorously pushing his tongue inside her, running it against her inside walls, making her shake in pleasure. When she began trembling, Leonard felt it right away and redoubled his efforts until he felt her folds clenching against him.

With a groan, Penny's body fell forward and she barely managed to put her arms forward to catch herself, otherwise she probably would have smacked right into his erect penis. For a moment, she wondered how he was dealing with her arousal fluids and she closed her eyes to just listen and despite the sounds akin to someone slurping soup, Leonard gave no indication that he was bothered, lapping her juices up like they were the sweetest of nectar.

"Yes Sam, I just came." Penny looked directly into the camera. "He earned a reward for that, don't you think?"

After grinning into the camera, Penny wasted no time taking his erect penis into her mouth again. Unimpeded by angle this time, she could easily deepthroat him and did just that, her lips reaching his base and even allowing her to press further. She swallowed once, causing him to groan loudly, the vibration giving her an extra sensation with his tongue going further inside her since her new position allowed him to do that.

"Even though his tongue isn't as long as the one of that Alex woman you made a video with, he's still reaching far inside me." she moaned, winking into the camera while stroking his penis with one hand and using that movement to mask her fasten the band around his base with the other. "That feeling of him pulling my cheeks apart to get better access is indescribable."

Leonard could barely think straight. Between Penny describing for Sam what he was doing, her taste sweet on his tongue and her mouth doing the impossible to his manhood, he was in heaven. It took him everything he had to keep licking her, to move his tongue inside her instead of just lying back and let her do her magic to him.

When she suddenly sped her head bobbing up, blowing him hard and fast but continuing to deep throat him, he almost lost it. Only the thin band of elastic fabric prevented him from climaxing. Penny had noticed it right away and slowed down, but continued with the deep blowjobs, moving her head down and keeping it there for a few seconds until her need for oxygen forced her up, releasing him with a plop and taking a deep breath before taking him in again and repeating the entire thing.

As it had done when they did these love fests before, time lost all meaning for him. His world shrank to him tasting her arousal and her mouth wrapped around his dick and between the pulses of his climax trying to come and her gentle grinding on his mouth for more friction, he was surprised when she suddenly lifted herself up even though he tried to stop her.

"Can you believe that?" Penny panted as she leaned forward, giving him a great view of her perfect behind. "He just licked me for over thirty minutes straight and he still wanted to keep going. But it's time to get this into gear. Enjoy the show."

Penny scooted forwards, her crotch over his and put her feet on the mattress. She grabbed his manhood and lined it up, allowing the tip in and placing herself in the right position before sinking down. Moaning at the intrusion, she began bouncing, gently at first but increasing the force over time until she slamming hard onto his hips. Leonard at first simply enjoyed the view of his penis going into her, a feeling that would never get old for him, then he put his arms out and grabbed her hips, helping her movements along as best as he could.

Penny leaned back and put her arms down to support her weight, then spread her legs a bit more to give Sam the best view of herself bouncing on Leonard's cock. She was glad that the other room next to them was empty and that behind them was only earth, otherwise, some other guest might have already complained about the noise.

She squealed, moaned, yelled and groaned through the action, the angle great for him to hit her g-spot and after a few minutes, she climaxed, her body shaking as Leonard held her. With no intention to stop, she waited to come down from the high before continuing as before, bouncing as hard as she could without causing physical injury.

Suddenly, Leonard grabbed around her with his right hand, his fingers ending up on her clit and beginning to rub her furiously. With a surprised scream of pleasure, she fell backwards, landing on his chest with a slap and his other hand grabbed her left breast, rubbing and gently pinching the nipple. She turned her head and stuck out her tongue, Leonard doing the same and they began playing with each other.

"That wasn't in the script." she breathed quietly, using the tongue play as cover.

"You changed it before with the sixty-nine." he gave her a quiet chuckle. "Want me to stop?"

"If you do that, I will hurt you!" she threatened jokingly. "Keep going. Make me come hard!"

"As you wish, my love." he replied and increased the force of his fingers and the speed of his thrusts.

"OH GOD!" she yelled when the climax came, as sudden as an earthquake.

He just held her tight as she convulsed, his manhood still buried deep inside her. His right hand continued to rub her, extending her climax while he used his other to push her breast towards him, and with a few twists and pushes, he managed to latch on to her nipple, sucking hard on it. When she calmed down, he stopped rubbing her clit and she turned her body, allowing him easier access to her breasts.

"Ready?" he whispered, hiding the question in him kissing her neck.

"Give me another minute." she breathed and in reply, he simply went back to her breasts.

She hummed as he sucked, licked and gently bit her nipples, switching from one breast to another. Still basking in her hard orgasm, she wondered if she should cut the whole thing short but in the end, she knew that she wanted all of it and more. Exactly sixty seconds after her request for another minute, his mouth left her breasts and his arms wrapped around her, turning them both around so he was on top of her back.

He lifted his body onto his knees and pulled her hips up until she too was on her knees, with her head still on the pillow. As per their order of things, he got onto his feet and leaned over her, lining himself up and pressing against her center. She gave his ankle a squeeze and he pushed in, making her grown and throw her head back.

"OH GOD, THE ANGLE!" she screamed when Leonard began thrusting hard.

Somehow, he had found that perfect angle right from the start, the angle that made her squeal and scream uncontrollably. Leonard, on his part, had enough rational thought left to realize what her outburst meant and using his hands to keep her body from moving, he made sure not to change the angle of his thrusts by even a single degree.

His manhood plunging forcefully into the depths of her insides, Penny screamed out a climax after only two minutes, Leonard slowing down to give her time to recover but still not changing the angle. While the friction of her tight pussy felt great as usual, he couldn't fully enjoy it because his concentration was fixed on keeping the angle the same. His legs also began burning, the strain of keeping his bent over posture hard to keep for a long time, especially for his kind of untrained legs.

He kept going though, his concentration fully on giving Penny the pleasure she deserved and in between her continued screaming in pleasure, she came twice more, the third time harder than the previous two and causing her to collapse forward, her head smacking against the headboard.

"Are you okay?" he panted, exhaustion making it hard for him to continue.

"Yeah, keep going." she replied, equally out of breath.

Shrugging, he pushed his hips against her butt, his dick sunken deep into her. She groaned once again, the angle no longer giving her the kind of extreme pleasure from before but still allowing him to hit her g-spot with every thrust. Leonard began thrusting in earnest again, the sounds of their bodies slapping together reverberating through the room. When Leonard reached forward to grab her hair, he hit only air, making him sad for a moment at the loss of her beautiful long hair, wondering how long it would take for her to grow it back out to where it used to be.

He again placed his feet on the mattress, mindful of the camera behind them and leaned forward, using the head board for leverage. Once he had a good position, he began thrusting forward, slow at first but getting faster when he was sure of his grip. Penny groaned at his thrusts, the angle in this position allowing for his penis to scrape past her g-spot with every thrust and when he increased his speed, so did frequency of her moans.

"I'm coming again!" she yelled before she began twitching and to her own surprise, she almost sounded as if it was a feeling of dread to come, not pleasure.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he slowly thrust into her, masking that question again by pretending to kiss her shoulder.

"Yes, don't worry." she calmed his worries. "Go faster again."

Trusting her on this, he sped up again, using his position to slam into her with force, making her groan almost as loud as he was. She felt his sweat dripping on her shoulder and began to worry that he was overexerting himself and may even have an asthma attack, so she grabbed his ankle again and gave him two squeezes, telling him to switch to their next position.

He pulled out and sat up, taking a deep breath. Penny jumped out of bed, almost collapsing on her wobbling legs and got two small towels as well as a bottle of water, handing him the latter and one of the former. Using the other towel, she wiped some of the sweat off of her while Leonard rubbed his over his face, head an upper body before taking a long swig of water.

"You see, we're giving it our all." Penny said into the camera and gave him a hand signal so he turned his body sideways to the camera. "And look, he's still hard for me."

"I am." Leonard nodded into the camera. "Sex with her is so good, I never want it to end."

"Lets go!" Penny ordered and laid down on her back.

Leonard lifted her legs and pushed them towards her shoulders, which lifted her lower body. Penny grabbed between them and lined him up, with him thrusting forward into the warm embrace he so craved. Since they could in this position, Penny pulled his head down so they could kiss. To her ears, their current position sounded funny because her squeals that accompanied his hard thrusts were muffled by their lips being together. She noticed more sweat of his dripping down on her and decided to cut it short, not wanting him to completely blow himself up.

"Big finale." she whispered to him, giving his arm two squeezes. "Lie down on your back, your head to the camera."

He gave her a confused look but nodded and pulled out, sitting back and letting his upper body fall backwards. Penny grinned and gave his manhood a few strokes and even took it into her mouth once more, giving him a short blowjob before swinging her leg over his body and lining herself up again.

As they had planned, the final part of the video would be her decision on what to do and while she had originally planned for the big finish to be anal sex in the doggy position to give Sam the best view of it, she didn't want to tax him even more, given how he was sweating. Instead, she mounted him in cowgirl and sat back down on his manhood, his dick going back into her pussy. She began with slow grinding and bent down, giving him a kiss and using that again for more hidden communication.

"Brace yourself, this will be wild." she whispered and gave him an evil grin when she lifted her body again.

"Big finish." she said into the camera and began moving, slowly at first but gaining speed.

Like a runaway train whose driver had collapsed on the gas pedal, she sped up more and more until she was riding him harder than a professional jockey would his steed during a race. The bed was smashing into the wall violently but with only a muffled sound since there was only soil and dirt behind the wall but a small part of her brain was worried that they might break something off.

The big part of her brain was busy enjoying riding her husband.

She climaxed several times, small orgasms that she managed to keep her speed through. She needed a big one for the finale she envisioned now and as her fingernails dug into his chest, her groaning got louder and louder. She felt the spring coil again and knew that this time, it would be big, so she made sure she kept her lower body in the angle that it was and did the impossible by increasing her speed even further. Leonard was cursing between his groans, his abused manhood begging for release that was blocked by the stretch fabric surround its base.

"Almost!" she yelled and kept going, her upper body going still while her lower body moved rapidly back and forth.

When it came, she was ready. Just as the spring uncoiled, she jumped up and forward, landing with both her two feet on the ground and her pussy pressed against his mouth. She screamed her pleasure into the room and Leonard reacted immediately, pushing his tongue into her as deep as he could. She had done this once before and it was the most heavenly thing he had ever tasted and this time, it was no different.

He lapped up every drop she unloaded. While she wasn't secreting even remotely as much as some porn actresses he had seen in the videos he had watched when he was a lot younger, it also wasn't negligible. Her juices dripped into his mouth and he caught them like a thirsty man would rain. He felt her orgasm clench her inner walls, his tongue being massaged by them and for the moment, he forgot his pulsing manhood as Penny rode his mouth, wordlessly demanding from him to prolong her pleasure, something he gladly obliged with.

Even the longest seconds are over eventually and Penny calmed down, her hips still moving to get the last dregs of pleasure. He kept licking her hard and for almost a minute, Penny occasionally pulsed, her hips twitching in thankful motion. She got up and swung to the side, lowering her head to his crotch and taking his manhood into her mouth again.

"Give it to me." she told him and began bobbing her head hard.

Her lips pressed together, he groaned loudly at the sensation. Her left thumb and finger wrapped around his base, she bobbed her head twenty times before clandestinely hitting the release button, the band snapping open and releasing the pressure it had had around his base. Like a damn breaking, Leonard exhaled an almost painful groan, his hips moving up and Penny pushed her head down, taking him as far into her throat as possible.

Leonard pumped out his semen, five, six, seven pulsations, each pulse shooting more of his load into her mouth. She swallowed hard, the bitter and thick liquid not going down smoothly. She sucked hard on his dick, coaxing out three more pulses and when he fell back with a spent groan, she licked his manhood clean and swallowed once more. Lifting her head up, she saw him inhale and quickly put a finger on his mouth, giving him a look which he understood.

"I hope you enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed making it." Penny said into the camera and stood up, stretching and giving Sam a full view of her naked body.

"And if you do, something is wrong with you." Leonard joked, rolling around on his stomach to also look into the camera. "Nothing beats doing it for real."

"But before you get any ideas, I won't share him." Penny stated resolutely. "As alluring as the fantasy of a threesome is, I can't share this delectable piece of meat."

"And I would never be able to stop thinking that I have cheated on her, even if she sits next to us and shouts instructions." Leonard added. "Nor would I be able to watch you do my wife, even if I joined in."

"Bye Sam." Penny waved into the camera, moving closer to it. "Hope this one is enough to earn us your video with Marcia."

"And cut." Leonard said after Penny had turned off the camera. "That's a wrap."

"You're an idiot." she giggled and returned to the bed, flopping down next to him, taking a sip of water. "Wow, I am done. And ugh, I need to get that bitter taste out of my mouth."

"So, why did you finish me off with your mouth?" he asked.

"Sam asked for it." Penny said, her voice muffled by the pillow, and she turned her head to look at him. "That's something we never did in any of the other videos and she asked if I ever swallowed your cum."

"Did you tell her that you did?"

"Of course, but she wanted to see it." she replied. "Hence my decision to change the end of our script."

"What did you have planned?" he wanted to know. "Riding me to orgasm?"

"No, actually, I had planned that you fuck my ass at the end." she chuckled. "But when I saw how exhausted you were, I got worried that you might have an asthma attack, so I changed it s I would be on top."

"As much as I'm disappointed that I didn't get to do your ass again, what you did in its place was just as amazing." he grinned and gently rubbed her butt.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Sure." he nodded and swung his leg over her body, so he could massage her back.

"I didn't mean that." she moaned. "But keep doing that."

"What did you want?" he asked as he massaged her.

"Is the bed okay?" she wanted to know. "When I rode you at the end, it slammed into the wall pretty hard."

"Visually, there's nothing wrong." he said, looking at both bed posts and the head board. "We need to look at it with better light."

"Okay." she hummed, enjoying his massage. "That feels nice."

"Good." he smiled. "Want me to run a bath for us?"

"Very much so." she confirmed and gave a mewl of disappointment when he stopped kneading her muscles and climbed off of her.

He turned on the tap, setting the water to very warm and added some of the complementary soap to get some bubbles going. He returned to the bed and resumed the massage for several more minutes until the tub was full enough for the both of them without water spilling out. Against her groaning resistance, he pulled her off the bed and she followed him into the bathroom where he pointed to the bathtub so she would get in.

"That's a new one." she said when she saw the tub properly for the first time, having only used the shower before. "It has two inclined sides instead of one."

"Yeah, and the overflow drain is on its flank." he nodded, having never seen that as well.

"So, this tub is literally built for two people to use it at the same time." she chuckled and climbed into the tub, waiting on her feet for Leonard to join her.

When he was in it as well, both sat down facing each other and leaned back, their legs going past each other so they could stretch out. Without any prompt, he pulled one of her feet up and began massaging it, Penny moaning at the feeling and in order to return the favor, she grabbed his opposite leg and massaged his calves.

When looking into his eyes, she couldn't help but smile. She wondered what her past self would be thinking, that she would end up married to the self-proclaimed king of nerds who is better in bed than some school athletes she had sex with, and that she would feel more happiness with him that she thought possible.

"What are you thinking?" he asked her.

"If I wanted you to know, I would be talking." she replied, and laughed when she saw his shocked face.

"That's mean." he moped and squeezed her big toe, making her mewl in protest.

"I was just thinking how happy I am." she smiled warmly at him. "Married to the man I love, at last some success in my chosen field of work and we're here."

"Same here." he smiled back. "You were the woman of my dreams the day I met you. The type of woman I'd see in high school and think that I'd never ever have a chance with."

"Good thing that we didn't follow the stereotype." she chuckled. "Oh, this is heavenly. What's this soap?"

"It's..." he tried to remember. "It's the bottle behind you."

"Nice." she looked at it. "We need to get it for our place when we return."

"Should we plan ahead for when we get back?" he asked. "I mean, where are we going to live? Your place isn't really made for two people."

"That's true." she agreed. "I think we stick to the plan. We either get Sheldon to switch apartments or we move out and find our own place."

"You're right." he nodded.

"Of course I am, it says so in our vows." she grinned.

"No, it doesn't." he laughed. "But you're right."

"Told you." she giggled.

"By the way, you remembered the name of that woman with the long tongue?" he gave her a look.

"I may have... uh... watched that video a few more times when you weren't there." she said innocently.

"I see." he grinned. "And you call me a pig."

"Oink, oink." she shrugged and and leaned forward to drop a kiss on his lips. "Love you, husband."

"Love you, wife." he smiled and held her, kissing her again and prolonging it.

"Leonard, I love you dearly but we need to get clean." she admonished him, when his hands began gliding over her breasts.

"Well, I'm helping you wash your breasts." he shrugged and kept caressing them.

"Yeah, wash." she rolled her eyes but made no move to stop him. "We should wash each other's backs at least."

"Can you turn around?" he asked.

"No need." she winked and stood up.

"Oh my." he sighed, blown away by her beauty every time he saw her naked.

"Scoot into the middle of the tub." she told him, taking a step forward herself.

"Right." he nodded and did what she said.

"Leonard, not now!" she stopped him when his lips pressed against her pussy.

"Then what?" he asked confused but she sat down into his lap, her legs going around his waist. "Honey, I'm still reloading."

"Sweetie, we just did a long bout of lovemaking that almost destroyed your best friend down there, you need more than just a few minutes rest." she laughed and grabbed the loofah along with the liquid soap bottle.

She soaped up the loofah and began swiping it over Leonard's back. Since she was sitting on his lap, she didn't waste the opportunity to kiss him while she did it, pushing her tongue into his mouth for some gentle play while she cleaned his back. After several minutes, they switched, Penny handing the loofah to Leonard, who washed it out and put new soap on it before copying what she had done, running it over her back while they kissed and his other arm held her firm against him.

Once he was done, she stood up again, letting Leonard clean her legs and butt and taking the loofah back to clean her chest and arms. When she was done, she sat back down and waited for him to stand up, after which she cleaned his legs and ass before handing the loofah to home once more so he could clean his upper body. While he was vertical, Penny dunked her head under water, shaking out her hair and coming back up to rest against the tub.

Leonard did the same and once he was leaned back, Penny turned around and leaned against his chest, his arms moving around her to rest on her stomach and she rested her hands on his, their fingers intertwining. She lifted her left and, taking his up with it and stretched her fingers, Leonard copying her. Their wedding bands touched and Penny hummed in content at seeing this physical evidence of the final form in their relationship.

"I love you." he said after a while.

"I'm cold." she shivered.

"What a romantic reply." he said in mocking tearful voice.

"Sorry." she chuckled and sat up, her body weight pressing on his crotch. "But the water is getting cold."

"Yeah." he agreed and stepped out of the tub after her.

She handed him a towel and both dried themselves, doing each other's backs for convenience. Leonard was done first and grabbed his tooth brush, cleaning his teeth while Penny used the time to rub moisturizer over her legs and arms. When Leonard was finished, he pulled the plug from the tub while Penny brushed her teeth and he returned to the bedroom to make sure the bed was ready for some actual sleep.

"Honey, we might have to change the sheets." he said in a loud voice so she could hear him.

"Why?" she asked when she joined him.

"Touch it." he pointed at the bed.

"Ew." she commented on the wetness of the bed. "Is that all from us?"

"Yep." he nodded after taking a whiff. "Sweat and sex."

"What?" she was confused and took a whiff herself. "Kinda, yeah. Wouldn't mind sleeping in it when it smelled only like sex but the wetness makes it kinda gross."

"Good thing we have more sets of sheets." he chuckled and pulled out a new set from the closet.

"I think the people running this place knew exactly that a honeymoon couple might need some extra sheets." she giggled and helped him change them.

Working together, they had the bed ready in three minutes, after which Penny hopped into it, sighing in content as she lay naked and spreadeagled on the sheets. Leonard put on his sleep shorts and joined her, running his right hand over her breasts once more, just because he could.

"So, want to be on top?" she asked.

"What?" he looked at her shocked.

"Well, not to be critical, but you didn't really satisfy me earlier." she said.

"You're kidding." he groaned.

"I am." she laughed and turned towards him to give him a kiss before getting up to put her nightgown on.

She rejoined him in bed as he turned off the light and waited for him to settle. She rolled over and rested her head against his chest, using his heartbeat to fall asleep. Her thoroughly sexually satiated body quickly fell into an exhausted sleep.

"By the way, I checked online, we will have to pay import duties on the wine." he told her while driving to their destination.

"Really?" she was surprised. "Why? And how much?"

"Yeah, because it exceeds the amount per person that is permitted duty-free." he nodded. "But it's not that much, one or two dollars per liter."

"How much do we have?" she wanted to know. "It's twelve bottles."

"Twelve bottles with point seven five liters per bottle gives us nine liters." he did a quick calculation in his head. "So, nine bucks at least, eighteen at most."

"What do they use for calculating the amount?"

"The alcohol content." he told her. "The wine we got is pretty standard, so it shouldn't be that much."

"Okay." she nodded. "I'm really looking forward to what we're doing today."

"I reserve my opinion for when we're actually doing it." he chuckled. "I hope you didn't forget your bathing suit."

"What, you don't want me to do it naked?" she laughed.

"And have other men ogle your model body?" he gasped. "Never!"

"Don't worry, I' already wearing my bikini." she grinned and pulled the sundress down to show him to top part. "And it's not the one where the bottom part is a thong."

"Good." he nodded. "You're mine to enjoy."

"Uh, I like this side of yours." she giggled. "Maybe we can find a secluded spot and you can enjoy me there."

"I doubt it, I read that when the tide comes in, the beach is usually packed with tourists and locals." he sighed.

Penny grinned to herself. Leonard didn't know it yet, but they would have the chance for quiet seclusion, even though he would not like the way they would get there. When the two hour drive was over, he parked their rental car in the provided lot and pulled a ticket, which he put into the car window. Penny grabbed their bags from the back seat and handed him his, both walking towards their destination.

"Oh no." he groaned when they came into visible range of where Penny led them, where other people were already in the process of departing.

"Yep." she giggled. "No complaining, it's the only way we have the chance of getting to a secluded beach."

"We could walk, you know?" he suggested.

"Nope, get in." she gave him a slap on his ass.

"Yes, dear." he hung his head in resignation and climbed into the kayak, putting his bag into the space between his legs.

Penny did the same, climbing in the backseat, putting her bag down as well. The man who was responsible for the boats pushed them into the water like he did with the others and both Penny and Leonard began paddling, Leonard paddling the left side and Penny on the right so they could go straight.

Since she had memorized the route before hand, she led them towards the ultimate destination, a place called Cathedral cove. Despite the fact that he was perched inside a thin piece of floating wood, Leonard enjoyed the sheer beauty of the place. They took their time, getting past by several other kayaks as well as two tour boats where guides were explaining things about the cove, things that Leonard and Penny could also read in the booklet she had received with the kayak.

"We have to be at that other beach at four-thirty." Leonard said after they paddled around for a while, taking in the view.

"Why?" she asked.

"According to this, the only time to be there is during the two central hours of low tide." he explained, pointing at the booklet. "Today, low tide is roughly five-thirty."

"Good to know." she accepted. "Getting back will take us about ninety minutes. How long to get from here to the beach?"

"I think about thirty minutes." he said. "It's not that far."

"That means we can relax a bit over there." she pointed, Leonard turning his head to see where she meant.

"Okay." he nodded and put his paddle into the water on his left side as well to turn the boat.

They beached the kayak and placed the paddles into the sand, with the handles going under the bar in the middle of the kayak so they acted like anchors to keep the boat from being pulled into the sea by the waves. Penny pulled their bags out of the boat and handed Leonard his before they walked a few feet inland to a spot that was partially covered by some bushes.

While Penny put down the blanket she had stored in her backpack, Leonard, after making sure that nobody was around, quickly changed into his bathing shorts before lying down on the blanket. He produced a water bottle from his pack while Penny got sandwiches they had made in the morning, handing Leonard one while he gave the water bottle to her after taking a sip.

They enjoyed the quiet for a while, eating their early lunch in peace. Nobody disturbed them, no other person seemed to be coming to this beach and while Leonard lied back, Penny got up and looked around to see if anyone was coming and when she couldn't see anyone, she quickly walked back to their little hiding place and found Leonard looking at her.

"You're so beautiful." he smiled. "And that bikini really brings out your curves."

"Your shorts don't." she smirked at him and sat down, straddling him, and bending down to kiss him. "Love you."

"Love you too." he sighed into the kiss. "Anyone around?"

"No, why?" she lifted her head to look at him.

"Well, because you're driving me crazy." he chuckled and grabbed down to pull her bottom to the side.

"Oh, so that's how you wanna play it, huh?" she grinned and also grabbed down to free his manhood from his shorts.

Mindful of the risk of someone coming by, she quickly sunk down on him and began bouncing. She didn't go all the way up to prevent the noise from becoming too much but it felt amazing nonetheless and she had to work hard to suppress her moans. Leonard was grunting himself, keeping his mouth mostly closed, while she chased her climax.

The risk of discovery added some spice to the whole thing so Penny had no trouble reaching her orgasm. When it hit, she bent down to kiss him, and Leonard waited until she stopped shaking before grabbing her hips and slamming his hips upward in a fast rhythm, chasing his own climax. It came a minute later and he managed to pull out at the last second, pushing his penis to the side so his ejaculate landed on the sand next to their blanket.

Humming in satisfaction, Penny sat up, putting her bottoms back into place before pushing Leonard's manhood back into his shorts. She put some sand over his seed on the sand and laid back down next to him, humming in content.

"Can this get any better?" she asked. "Vacation in a beautiful place, married to a great guy and sex on the beach, and I'm not talking about the cocktail."

"You don't say?" he laughed and kissed her cheek. "Thank you."

"Don't start again with thanking me after having sex." she warned him. "I'm your wife, I love you and since you always have my satisfaction in mind, I gladly have sex with you."

"I was thanking you for the great guy comment, but good to know." he grinned at her.

"Shut up!" she huffed. "When do we have to leave?"

"Thirty minutes, give or take." he told her. "I wouldn't wait for too long though, we have to go against the currents and we want to find a good spot, don't we?"

"Then lets go now." she said and got up, throwing her sundress over her body.

"Alright." Leonard nodded and also got up and got dressed while Penny shook out the blanket so she could pack it away.

Ten minutes later, they were sitting in the kayak again. True to what Leonard said, they had to paddle against the current, which slowed them down. It took longer than two hours to reach their starting point again, where they exited the kayak and groaned, their arms feeling as if they were falling off.

After a short break, they got back into the car and drove the short distance south towards the town of Whitianga to get to the hot water beach Penny wanted to go to. When they arrived at their destination, they saw a large group of people already waiting, everything from tourists to families with children. Leonard went into the building and borrowed two shovels, so they could dig their hole to sit in.

"Look, they're moving." Penny pointed to the local families, who began walking down to the beach.

"Then lets not dally around." Leonard chuckled and they followed them down.

"How does this work?" Penny wanted to know, watching those other groups beginning to dig holes. "It's low tide, so I doubt there are waves coming in, not to mention that they're cold.

"Apparently, we just dig." Leonard shrugged and did as the others did, digging a shallow hole, Penny helping him until they had a hole big enough for the both of them to lie in, except their heads, and about forty inches deep.

"What now?" Penny wondered, seeing the other people simply sitting down into their shallow holes.

"Oh, that happens." Leonard said surprised, looking down.

"Whoa, that's hot." Penny was equally surprised at the sudden heat around her feet, and saw water bubbling up from the ground, pushing through the sand. "That's so cool."

"Well, lets enjoy." Leonard chuckled and sat down like everybody else was doing.

Penny joined him, both lying down but keeping their heads above the water. It was like being in a hot tub, with bubbles sometimes coming up. Leonard explained to her that this was carbon dioxide, so she shouldn't take a deep breath when they popped. For two hours, they laid there, enjoying the water that never seemed to cool much until they saw the other people getting up again.

When the two hours were over, the water quickly seeped back into the ground again. The ocean water waves were reaching some of the closest holes again and she was pretty sure that by the next day, every hole but the deepest ones would be gone, the water having moved the sand to fill them back up again.

"Can we sit down over there to watch the sunset?" Penny asked.

"Sure." he nodded and sat down on the bench with her, several other people having had the same idea.

"The last fifteen minutes were amazing, the sun touching the horizon while we were still sitting in the hole." she said.

"Yeah." he agreed. "I was never one to watch sunsets but I have to admit, it was really romantic."

"Wanna get some dinner before heading back?" he asked.

"Yeah, otherwise it'll be too late." she nodded. "What do you wanna get?"

"No idea, lets just drive into town and see what's there." he shrugged.

They got into the car and Leonard drove the eight miles into the small town closest to the beach. They drove through the main street, looking left and right for somewhere to buy food. Suddenly, Leonard turned onto a parking lot and Penny saw the food cart. Since she didn't know if there was something else, she just shrugged and got out of the car with him.

The cart offered a small variety of things but since they were here, they both ordered the crayfish with chips, which were in actuality thick fries. Leonard got the food to go and grabbed two forks before leading her back to the car, where they ate the food in peace and quiet. Penny had to admit that it tasted great, and it was still early enough that she wouldn't have to go to bed with a heavy stomach.

After they finished the food, Penny got out of the car and threw their garbage into a bin while Leonard started the car. When she was back in, he began the two hour drive back, so she closed her eyes and watched the countryside go by in the receding daylight

---

"It's so beautiful here." she said as they walked through the second themed garden of the Hamilton gardens.

"Wanna move here?" he chuckled.

"Nah, I'd miss the bustling of home and I think it might be harder here to find a job as an actress." she laughed.

The gardens were separated into five themes. They had already walked through the Paradise garden, which had included six sections, from Chinese and Japanese themed garden, as well as English, Indian and ancient Egyptian themed gardens and a modernist version, which Penny thought was the worst one.

Now they were walking to what was called Cultivar garden, which showed plants that were often grown for usage, like the Rose garden or Rhododendron lawn section. She thought about the time when she and Leonard might move into a house and would be able to have a garden like this themselves. If her acting career went somewhere, they just might be able to afford it.

After several more minutes, they entered what was called the Productive garden. Here, crop plants were everywhere, an entire section dedicated to herbs and another that had several vegetable plants. She could see a lot of tomatoes, most still somewhat green. The fourth section was the Landscape garden, showing a lot of bushes and hedges and even a cemetery. To her surprise, the graves were not just decorations but actual graves.

The last of the gardens was called Fantasy garden, containing several sections of plants not native to the land. Everything from a garden from the eighteenth century, another with large topiary figures that were to mess with one's mind. Two more gardens were empty but had signs in front of them saying that the plan was to make one into a medieval garden and another into a rococo theater garden.

Shortly after one, they exited from the gardens and returned to their hotel. Using their restaurant, they enjoyed a tasty meal and rested for half an hour in their hobbit house before heading back out for their afternoon destination. They got into the rental car and Leonard entered the destination into the navigation system, the device showing a fifty minute drive ahead of them.

"This one is self-guided." Penny told him when they got out. "So we can just walk in."

"Shouldn't be much of an issue, I'm sure the routes are well marked." he shrugged.

"Oh Leonard, look!" Penny gasped and ran to a sign.

"What?" he asked, following her. "Oh no, really? You want to do that?"

"Oh yeah, we will do that." she grinned.

"Yes, dear." he hung his head, knowing that even though he could dissuade her, he wanted to make her happy.

"Come on, it's not that bad." she huffed. "You might even like it."

"I doubt that but we'll see." he sighed and extended his arm, Penny linking hers into his.

They walked along the trail, seeing the mud pools and the carbon dioxide bubbles forming, growing and popping. The landscape was certainly unique, looking like a gray hellscape if not for the trees in the near distance. To the left and right, steam was rising from the ground and the temperature had risen considerably compared to outside the area.

"You really wanna do this?" Leonard asked when they had rounded the area in a three-hour walk.

"Yep." she grinned.

"But we didn't pack our bathing suits." he argued.

"Luckily, I did." she winked at him and produced his shorts as well as her bikini."

"Great." he deadpanned as Penny almost skipped towards the building where they bought the tickets.

He waited outside, looking at the scenery until Penny returned, a grin on her face. She took his hand and pulled him towards the changing rooms, where they changed into their bathing suits before walking towards the mud pools. With hesitation and some trepidation, Leonard stepped into the pool, hoping that he wasn't pulled under like quicksand. Penny simply walked in, dunking herself down to the neck.

"Come on, it's not deep." she told him.

"Fine." he gave up and walked properly into the pool, joining her. "What are you doing?"

"Come on, it's a mud bath, it's good for your skin." she pointed out and continued to smear mud onto his face, covering his forehead and cheeks.

"Then lets go all the way." he chuckled and covered his neck and throat as well.

"Look at you, going with it." she grinned and also smeared mud onto her face and neck.

She leaned against the rim of the mud pool, enjoying the warm, thick sludge against her skin. Several times, a bubble developed in the pool, but they were mostly in the middle so they didn't have to move out of the way, only hold their breath when it popped. They stayed in the pool for the entire hour they had paid for and when their time was over, they slowly moved towards the other side and climbed back out, caked in mud.

After returning to the changing rooms, they each grabbed one of the complementary towels and headed to the showers. Both entered a stall and washed the mud off of their bodies, emerging clean and dried themselves off before putting their clothes back on. Feeling good, Penny gave Leonard a kiss and they left the building, heading back to their car and driving back to their hotel where they enjoyed a light dinner and headed to bed early, enjoying some good lovemaking and then sleep.

The next day, they returned to Rotorua, but instead of going back to the volcanic area, they headed to a Maori village, where they sat down next to several other tourists. The people of the village explained the history of their people and several men did a ritual dance for them called haka, which reminded her of the dance she had seen some rugby team do a few times.

When the event was over, the villagers invited them for a lunch they called hangi, which was a meal cooked beneath the ground. Ignoring her vegetarianism once more, she ate the meal of sheep meat with an assortment of vegetables and potatoes and she had to admit that it tasted great, the meat very soft. Leonard pointed out that it was the same principle when her dad cooked beef in his smoker for eight hours which also made the meat very soft and succulent.

"Wow, that was good." Penny commented on the food. "Is there a way to do this in an urban setting?"

"As long as you have a backyard, then sure." the host replied. "All you need to do is dig a hole big enough to hold a bunch of certain hot rocks and the meat and vegetables you want to roast. Seal the hole and let the hot rocks radiate heat into the food."

"How big of a hole do you think?" she asked. "Yours is pretty big but you cooked for a whole bunch of people."

"Depends on how many people you want to feed, of course." the man nodded. "For two people, a hole two feet wide and long and maybe two or two-and-a-half feet deep should be enough. You will want to use igneous rocks, like granite. Then make a fire in the hole with enough wood that I can burn hot and long, an hour at least. Line the hole with the rocks and let the fire heat them. When the fire dies down, the rocks will fall into the hole and then your oven is ready."

"Wow, I think I'll have to look for an online guide." she laughed. "I'll have forgotten all of that by the time we could do that."

"Give me a second." the man said and disappeared into one of the huts, reappearing a few seconds later with a booklet in his hand. "There you go."

"Thanks." Penny smiled, seeing the handbook to build an underground oven.

After buying a few trinkets, probably vastly overpriced, they left the village, seeing another tourist bus stopping right when they reached their rental car again. They got in and Leonard drove further southeast to a place called Waimangu on the map, which according to the vacation guide was full of bubbling pools, steaming craters and a famously blue lake.

Before they reached the area, they could already see the steam rising from the area. They exited the car and noticed the temperature rising again and when they walked closer, it was like walking close to a steam room. Here, the steam didn't come from mud pools but regular water and as they walked along the trail, they saw signs denoting the various formations. When they reached their ultimate destination, Penny had to gasp in astonishment.

"Wow, I've never seen a lake with water this blue." she commented when she saw the water.

"It's called Inferno lake." Leonard read from a plaque.

"Maybe we can hop in." Penny suggested with a grin. "Up for some skinny dipping?"

"Well, given the sign, a skinny dip might lead to your skin melting off." he told her. "The lake is pretty acidic and hot."

"Well, I doubt it's so bad that the skin would be melting off." she said but refrained from her earlier suggestion when she read the sign.

"According to this, the water can get as hot as almost a hundred and eighty degrees Fahrenheit." Leonard read.

They stayed for a while, the heat hitting their faces and making them sweat. They left after fifteen minutes and continued their trek towards the last destination in the area, another lake called Waimangu Cauldron, which was the worlds largest hot spring.

"It used to be called Frying Pan lake." Leonard read with a chuckle from a sign.

"Damn look at this." Penny pointed. "It's like a steam room. And those rocks over there, even they're steaming."

"They're called Cathedral Rocks." Leonard told her.

"You know, thinking about this, we spent the afternoon looking at steaming water and rocks." she chuckled.

"True." he nodded. "But it's nice to experience these things, isn't it? I mean, we made the list together."

"Don't misunderstand me, I do not regret coming here." she said. "But compared to other things, this isn't really exciting."

"I think it's not supposed to be exciting." he chuckled. "It's supposed to be calming."

"Well, I'm calm enough now, we should head back if we want to go to that other place before it's dark."

"Alright." Leonard grinned and they started the walk back to the car, Leonard moving faster this time.

It still took a while to get back to their car and Penny felt her clothes sticking to her due to the sweat she had secreted. Leonard surely wasn't feeling any different and as if to agree with her, he pulled up the address of their hotel in the navigation system. He drove them back, the drive taking over an hour and both hurried into their room so they could take a shower and change.

Refreshed, they refilled their water bottles and headed back to their car. Leonard typed in the address of their last destination for today and began driving. The trip to Port Waikato took an hour but when they arrived, Leonard began humming one of the songs from the Lord of the Rings movie as he turned onto the dirt road south.

"Driving on the left side of the road is still confusing to me." she commented when he had to drive the car close to the left side to let an oncoming vehicle pass.

"Tell me about it." he said. "Good thing that this is an automatic, I don't know if I could have changed gears with my left hand."

"Why are you stopping?" she wondered when he stopped the car inside1 a pocket on the side of the road.

"We have to walk another mile to get the closest we can to have the best view." he explained. "But we can't stop the car there."

"Why can't we properly go there?" she asked.

"Because unfortunately the land between here and the hill it's private property." he sighed. "The farmer owning the land allowed Peter Jackson to film there and he might even allow official tours to go there but not random visitors."

"That sucks." she huffed but followed him on his way towards what looked like a concrete girder.

"And here we are." he sighed in happiness.

"Where is it?" she looked around.

"Right there." he pointed straight forward.

"It's just a hill." she wondered.

"Wait, I have an idea." he smiled and turned on mobile data on his phone, ignoring the two dozen message notifications while he did something on his phone. "There."

"That's so cool!" she said when he held his phone towards the hill and the screen overlaid the ruined tower she knew from the movie over the live picture. "It's still just a ruin."

"Everyone's a critic." he huffed theatrically and leaned over one of the fence posts, looking at the hill.

"Come on, lets go back." she said. "It's getting dark and I would like to be back on asphalt before we lose all daylight."

"You're right." he agreed and they walked back to here they had parked the car.

Leonard got in and, with some difficulty due to the narrow road, he managed to turn the car around. For most of the drive on the gravel road, Leonard could drive in the middle only having to go to the side three times, once for a car and twice for bicycles. When they finally got back to firm road, the sky was already mostly dark.

"Wow, I'm beat." she said when they were halfway back to the hotel.

"Me too." he nodded. "That mud bath and the all that hot air after really made me tired."

"I hope you're not mad but I don't really feel like having sex tonight." she sighed.

"Then we just have to do it twice tomorrow." he said, but grinned when he saw Penny's shocked face. "I'm kidding. But seriously, why would I be mad? I would never force you to have sex if you don't want to."

"Love you." she smiled and placed her hand on his thigh. "When do we have to leave tomorrow?"

"Since we can only see it at night anyway, it's enough to leave after noon if we fly." he told her.

"Wouldn't that cost too much?" she wondered.

"No, I've found a small local airline that only charges fifty bucks, converted into US dollars." he explained. "We'll drive to Wellington, take the flight to Christchurch and from there it's a three hour bus ride."

"I really look forward to that." Penny said. "I've never soaked in a hot tub under the open sky."

"Here's hoping that the weather won't mess with our plans." he chuckled.

"According to the weather report, it should be clear sky." she said.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived back at their hotel. Tired, they took a quick shower together and brushed their teeth before heading straight to bed. Since their plans for the next day involved only that one thing, they decided to sleep in and let their inner clocks wake them up. They slept until nine and walked into the restaurant to partake in the last minutes of the breakfast buffet before they could even take a shower.

They spent the rest of the morning making love and cuddling, watching local TV between bouts, especially the weather reports for their destination of the day. After eating lunch in the hotel's restaurant, they got into the rental car and drove to Wellington, arriving at roughly three in the afternoon. The flight would be at four, so they perused some offers and ate some cake before heading to the airport to board their flight.

The flight itself was less than an hour. Due to the departure times, they had to hurry after landing in Christchurch to reach the bus that would take them to their destination. They only made it because the tourist group that they joined was so large that getting everybody onto the bus took several minutes.

The drive was torture for Leonard. Not only couldn't he sit in front and had to deal with his motion sickness that even the patch could barely hold in check, but due to their haste to get to the bus he also couldn't use the restroom beforehand and the shaking bus didn't help. With extreme difficulty, he managed to hold it in until the bus arrived at their destination and before it even came a complete stop, he was already on his feet at the door, trying not to yell at the driver to open the doors.

When they finally opened, he jumped out of the bus, his stomach problems momentarily forgotten. He saw the sign for the restrooms and sprinted towards them, almost breaking down the door to get in. He almost didn't manage to open the zipper on his pants before he couldn't hold it anymore but luckily, he just managed and with a groan louder than during some of his climaxes, he could finally let go.

With a relieved breath, he returned outside where the other guests were snickering at his behavior but everyone else had to use the restroom as well. Once the group was done, they walked towards the building where they would get the explanation of how this event would play out.

"Welcome to the international dark sky reserve." a woman greeted them. "My name is Adeline. Who among you will use the hot tubs for your viewing?"

"I thought it would be more." Penny whispered to Leonard when only a third of the group lifted their hands."

"Alright." Adeline nodded. "You still have about two hours before we can begin, so I'd suggest you get some dinner and get the keys to the bungalows. We have a small food selection to offer in the building across from this one. Those that do the hot tubs, please return here ten minutes before nine so you can get changed, the others can go to the designated area where you can either sit down on the provided benches or you can take on of our blankets and sit on the grass."

"Do the blankets cost extra?" one of the other tourists asked.

"No, they're free. Only the hot tubs cost a fee." Adeline told them and pointed to Leonard and Penny.. "I also want to make one thing clear. We have a honeymoon couple among us."

"Thank you." Penny blushed when the other gave them a small applause.

"No sex in the hot tubs!" Adeline said forcefully.

"Aw, there goes my idea." Leonard complained, making the others laugh.

The group walked to the building where they could get food and Leonard ordered the ubiquitous crayfish with some fries and a salad, Penny doing the same since there was nothing else really on the menu. After eating, they took a walk, looking at the lake in the near distance and seeing the hot tub huts, which were essentially just barricades to prevent people in the neighboring tubs from watching.

"I hope this is a great as the brochure made it out to be." Penny said.

"Weather seems fine." Leonard looked up, seeing only a few cirrus clouds and contrails. "Unless it changes in the next three or four hours, we should be good."

When the time came, they walked back to their bungalow and changed into their swimwear, Penny again putting on the bikini she had on before. They both put on the complementary robes and slippers and took a towel each, then walked to the hot tubs, the way well lit on both sides with LED light and electric tiki torches.

Adeline met them along the way and led them to the tubs, showing them which ones they were to use. Penny and Leonard entered the enclosure, finding the tub already hot and bubbling, so they discarded their robes and hopped in, Penny sinking down to her neck in content, the feeling great on her skin. Leonard too sat back against the tub, leaning back and stretching his feet.

"What are we going to see?" she asked him. "You just said we'd be watching the southern cross."

"Look up there." he pointed. "It's already coming up."

"Wow!" Penny gasped at the band of bright stars that looked like it was covered by clouds rose from the horizon. "Is that the Milky Way?"

"No, that's the southern cross and the coalsack nebula." he nodded. "We are inside the Milky Way, so we couldn't view the entirety of it from Earth."

"Beautiful." Penny sighed and over the next two hours, the bright band of stars rose higher and higher, and as it illuminated the lake they could overlook from their position, she finally understood the wonder that Leonard, Raj, Howard and Sheldon felt when looking through a telescope, like they had when they shot a laser to the moon.

"It's also this prominent because there are no city lights polluting the skies." Leonard mentioned.

"You're right." she realized. "You could never to this in Los Angeles."

"No, unfortunately not." he agreed. "We would have to go far out of town to see this. That's one of the negatives of having big cities."

"Where could you do this in California?" she wanted to know.

"Pretty much everywhere away from large cities." he shrugged. "Remember a few years into our relationship when you accompanied me, Raj and Howard into the desert where we wanted to watch the Leonid meteor shower?"

"I remember that we got high on special cookies, that I stole food from a group of boy scouts and that I rode your dick with my ass, hard." she chuckled. "We didn't really see anything from the meteor shower."

"Well, I have to take your word for it, everything from that night is a blur." he laughed.

"Man, that looks awesome." she said when the night sky rolled over.

"Yeah, but I think we should go to bed soon." he nodded.

"Why?" she asked.

"For one, it's one in the morning and we're starting to prune up and two, look over there." he pointed.

"Ugh, clouds." she huffed, seeing the stars to the east blocked. "Alright."

She got up and stretched, feeling Leonard's hand caressing her calf. She ran her hand over his cheek and stepped out of the tub, using the towel to dry herself off before putting on the robe. Her bikini was still wet of course but it was manageable, the robe blocking the cool night air. Leonard joined her outside, doing the same thing and when he was done, they walked the lit trail to their bungalow and going inside.

"When does the bus leave tomorrow?" she asked.

"One leaves every three hours starting at nine." he told her.

"So, phone alarms to eight, then breakfast." she nodded.

"Then toilet, then bus." he chuckled. "Don't want to have to hold in my pee for three hours again."

Without turning the lights on, they changed into their regular underwear, Penny eschewing her bra but only putting a shirt on and joined Leonard in bed, their fingers interlinking and their wedding bands touching. Thanks to having soaked in hot water for almost four hours, she fell asleep almost the moment she closed her eyes.

It was their last day. Two weeks of a magical honeymoon filled with wonders and love. Penny had to admit, while she would have enjoyed Costa Rica, the last two weeks had been a phenomenal vacation. After they had returned from their trip to the southern island, it had already been two in the afternoon, so they had decided to spend the rest of the day just relaxing, bathing in the autumn sun before retiring into their hobbit house.

"Leonard, are you done?" she called into the bathroom.

"Almost." he said after a few seconds before the sounds of his toothbrush returned, and she stepped behind the open door and waited for another two minutes until Leonard came into the room. "Penny, where are you?"

"Right here." she said seductively and closed the door, making him turn around.

"Oh my." his eyes went wide.

Some small part of his brain wondered how Penny could always find a way to look even more sexy than she usually did and how she could turn him on even when not naked, given that he knew how she looked without clothes. Right now, she was wearing a see-through thong, giving him a great view on her ass when she turned around slowly for him, and a cut off shirt that showed more than it hid.

He dropped his shorts, knowing that it would only hinder him and his manhood stood to attention as she walked slowly towards him. Grinning almost devilishly, she pushed him hard, making him step back and bump into the bed where he fell on and before he could recover, she was already on top of him.

"Whoa!" he commented the sudden change and her quick move.

"No talking!" she commanded and moved further forward.

Wasting no time, she grabbed his head and pushed it between her legs. He immediately followed her unspoken order and pushed his tongue into her, tasting her tangy arousal and moving his tongue against her inner walls. She groaned loudly and began moving her hips, still pulling his head harder against her with her hands.

"Yeah, lick it harder, baby." she grunted.

He couldn't really follow her command since he was already moving his tongue as fast as he sustainably could. Penny suddenly increased the force of her movements, grinding over his face harder and he feared that if she kept going like this, he might have to stop her to prevent an injury, even though he loved when she did that.

"OH MY GOOOOOD!" Penny keened and began shaking in orgasmic bliss. "God, I love your tongue."

"Hmm hmm." he hummed, unable to do anything else since she was still blocking his mouth.

"I could do this for hours." she giggled but lifted herself off. "But we have to get this going, since we have to rise early to catch our flight."

"I won't complain either way." he chuckled. "You're right though."

"Of course I am, remember our vows?" she grinned.

"Yeah yeah." he rolled his eyes. "Normally, I'd tell you to put that mouth of yours to use but we do have a plane to catch early."

"Hey." she moped and pressed his lips together with her fingers. "I appreciate that you're trying this dirty talk, but not like this."

"Sorry." he laughed and gave her a gentle slap on her ass. "Now put those other set of lips where they need to be."

"That's better." she agreed and grabbed beneath her to get him inside her.

After a gentle start, Penny gave Leonard an evil grin before pressing her hands on his chest. He looked confused only for a second before his eyes widened in shock when Penny began riding him like crazy, harder even than what she did when they made the video for Sam. She put her hands on the headboard, using it as leverage to increase her speed even further, the bed moving violent enough to make him worry that its feet would simply break off.

Even with her stamina, Penny couldn't keep that speed up for long and had to slow down, but not before climaxing. She fell forward onto his chest, breathing hard while Leonard held her hips and pushed his own up to continue having sex while she caught her breath. When Penny kissed him, he could feel her hard breaths and he pushed her off of him, letting her lie on her stomach while he got behind her.

"Uh." she moaned when his tongue ran along her folds again a few times before going higher, across her anus and ending at her tail bone. "What are you doing?"

"Getting you ready?" he chuckled.

"Ready for... ungh!" she tried to ask but was interrupted when he pushed inside her to the hilt.

He stood on his feet and, like her, grabbed the headboard to get better leverage before proceeding to pound her hard, making her scream out loud in pleasure. He looked down every thirty seconds to make sure that her head wouldn't bump into the headboard but Penny kept it slightly tilted, so he increased the force of his thrusts until he felt her clench up again.

"Oh god, that was so good." she moaned when he pulled out but suddenly squealed when she felt his tip press against her anus. "What are you doing?"

"I couldn't stop thinking about it since you mentioned anal sex in the hot tub." he almost growled. "Is it okay?"

"Yes, but be careful." she gave him permission.

"If it hurts at any time, tell me and I'll pull out." he told her and pushed.

"Hrghn!" she groaned when his tip pushed into her anus.

"Are you alright?" he asked worried.

"Yes, go further." she nodded.

Even though they had done anal a few times, it hasn't been nearly often enough to make her get used to it. Leonard kept to his word, going slowly in and always pulling back before pushing just a little bit further. After several minutes, he pushed in to the hilt, Penny feeling his hips hitting her behind.

"Oh man!" she groaned. "I will never get used to that feeling."

"How does it feel?"

"On the risk of making you wince, it feels like I need to take a huge dump." she laughed.

"Ew." he made a face but couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Fuck, why must your cock be that thick." she cursed and began moving her hips in small circles against him. "You can move now."

"Okay." he said and began thrusting slowly.

While he thrust into her anus, Penny told him to go a bit faster, which Leonard then did. That went on for fifteen minutes until he was thrusting into her at a quick pace, not as fast as he would into her vagina but still a nice pace. Penny squealed a lot, feeling him moving inside her in that weird way that still caused her to feel pleasure.

"Penny, I'm close." he groaned, feeling exhaustion creeping in.

"Don't come in my ass." she pleaded.

Leonard sped up a bit more, making Penny groan, to chase his climax. When he felt it arrive, he quickly pulled out, putting his hand over his tip to catch his spill. Penny collapsed forward, twitching as her body tried to recover from that glorious violation of a body part where a penis was not supposed to go.

"Be right back." Leonard said and hurried into the bathroom to wash his hands and manhood and to wipe the sweat from his face and neck.

"I hate you." Penny mumbled, her face buried in her pillow.

"Why?" he chuckled and climbed on the bed, dropping a few kisses on her ass cheeks.

"Because I love you." she huffed.

"That doesn't make any sense." he pointed out.

"If we ever argue about something, and we probably will, always remember that I allow you to fuck my ass with your thick like a tree cock." she hummed at his kisses.

"Don't exaggerate." he laughed. "It's not that big."

"Feels like it when it's buried inside my ass." she shrugged. "It feels like it's on fire."

"That might be the chili powder I put on my dick." he said.

"You did what?!" she gasped but saw his grinning face. "Ass."

"Yes, you have a beautiful one." he agreed and dropped more kisses on her cheeks, even gently biting it.

"Come on, cuddle me to sleep, we have to be up in seven hours." she hummed tiredly.

He pulled the covers over them and grabbed underneath her, giving her a little push. Penny understood and turned to her side and then wrapped herself over Leonard's body, her rest resting against his shoulder. She lifted her hand and he again interlinked his fingers into hers, their wedding bands touching. She quickly was asleep, his heartbeat a soothing staccato in her ears.

And after an early breakfast and a trip to the airport, they boarded the plane. Penny looked down at the countryside from high above, seeing the places they didn't have time to visit. Maybe she would agree to another vacation here in the future.

But for now, they would deal with the fallout of Sheldon learning that he would not be allowed to live with Leonard.

Chapter ends here. I'm going to work next week again, my back having healed enough to not warrant more sick leave. So, time wise, my days will be filled a lot again.

Review please :)
