Love's Retreat(8)

Alex stared at the woman stretched out before him. The events earlier that day had been in a darkened room. He had not been able to witness the supple beauty of each curve and valley and peak. He wanted to feel it all quiver under his hands and sink himself deep into her. His boxers were slid off and he knelt down on the bed, carefully straddling her.

Her hand shook as Jess touched Alex’s chest then slowly moved down to the hard, hot penis that lay on her stomach. She took the condom from him and gently slipped it on. He leaned down to kiss her stomach, then up to her breast as he arched and slid himself into her. He heard her gasp as he filled her. The heat and wetness almost made him come. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He eased down on top of Jess, not moving for a moment, caressing her hair and cheek. He nuzzled her neck then rose up to kiss her passionately. As his tongue played along the moist lips, Alex pulled his hips back then gently pushed forward.

Jess moaned and clutched his hips, pulling herself up to meet each thrust. She breathed hard and fast as she reached the brink. His lips muffled the scream as she came. He lay still for a moment, feeling the pulse of her release. When her breathing calmed he slowly stroked in and out, testing to see if she was too sensitive for him. When she grabbed his bottom and pulled him hard against her, Alex smiled and began thrusting faster, matching her moans with his own. His body stiffened as he came, then he quivered and lay gently on top of her.

Jess pouted at the loss when he pulled out and rolled off. He reached out and pulled her close against him and drew the cover over them both. “Wow,” she sighed.

Alex chuckled. “Yes…wow.” He rubbed her stomach casually then moved up to cradle her breast. Jess snuggled back to press her body completely against his and fit her head under his chin. Comfortable in each other’s embrace, they fell asleep.

Several times during the night, Jess woke to roll over. When she bumped into some part of Alex’s anatomy she smiled, more content than she’d ever been.



The morning gong sounded. Jess pulled the quilt around her shoulders and reached for Alex. He was not there. She sat up and looked around the empty cabin. She listened for sound from the bathroom. She was alone.

The floor was cold on her feet when she climbed out of bed. She found her clothes neatly arranged on the chair and slipped into her panties. On the table she found a note under the beach stone. “Need coffee, will be back soon with breakfast.” She traced the strong lettering, pressing her finger on the heart at the bottom and smiled. She thought about climbing back into bed and tempting him on his return but decided against it as she felt a little worn out by the night before. She took a quick shower and was dressed when Alex returned.

There was a look of disappointment on Alex’s face when he saw Jess putting on her shoes. “And here I thought you would be craving more of me this morning.”

“You were the one who left.” Jess stood and slowly walked to Alex. “Without so much as a kiss,” she pressed herself against him, “or a squeeze,” she reached around and squeezed. She turned to teasingly walk away.

Alex dropped the coffee and danishes on the table and reached out to pull Jess tight against him. He pushed her hair aside and forcefully kissed her neck, licking then nibbling when she squirmed. His hand cupped her breast, roughly massaging.

Jess’s breath quickened, and she pressed her breasts further into his grasp. She reached her arms up to encircle his head. She turned her head and breathed in his scent and moaned as one hand released its prize and moved down her stomach and inside the waist of her pants. She reached down, unbuttoned her pants and lowered the zipper.

Alex pressed his face against her shoulder, eyes shut tight. His hand moved lower, stopping only for a second to cup her soft mound. Jess stepped to spread her legs for him. He accepted the invitation and delved into the soft wet lips.

Jess groaned. Her hips thrust forward in rhythm with the caressing fingers. She tensed when he gently touched her clit, then moved in slow, light circles. She bit her lip and arched her back as the waves began to overtake her. As she came he thrust his finger inside. She shouted in joyous agony.

As her body began to slacken in release, Alex rocked her gently. He turned her in his arms and cradled her close.



Jess walked slowly to her morning session. Her body was still numb with passion. Alex had allowed her to choose whether they went back to bed or drank their coffee and left the cabin. As much as Jess wanted to feel him inside her again she knew they had to go out to the real world. She needed to think with a clear head and she definitely could not do that with Alex close by.

She found Nora in the Contemplation Hall and sat down next to her. Jess was relieved to see that Nora looked as worn out as she was. They shared a conspiratorial smile. They listened to the Mentor. Jess took several notes and tried to stay concentrated on the lecture.
