‘It’s okay,’ I interrupted. ‘I don’t mind picking them up.’
‘Oh?’ Mum raised a suspicious eyebrow.
‘I mean to say that I don’t really have anything else to do today. A drive would get me out of the house.’ I forced a smile.
‘Well, if you say so.’ Mum returned her attention to the kitchen counter. All sorts of different types of food had been strategically placed in nice little neat lines all around the chopping board. Mum bent down and opened the oven door. The smell of something hot and spicy instantly flared within my nostrils. My stomach growled softly. It wanted whatever was cooking inside the oven.
‘You, away,’ ordered mum. She flicked a kitchen towel at dad and me, as we moved towards the oven like wild predators stalking their prey. ‘Dinner will not be ready for a while yet so go away and do whatever it is you have to do.’
‘I better go find, Lisa, and tell her they have our bags.’
‘You know,’ said mum. In that tone mums use when they are plotting something. ‘Miranda’s daughter, Sheridan, will be arriving here in a few days.’
‘Mum,’ I sighed.
‘No, no. Hear me out,’ she shushed me into silence with a wave of her hand. ‘Sheridan is the same age as you and she’s really very pretty. Miranda told me that she is bringing some of her girl friends along.’ Mum gave me a cheeky wink. ‘It might be a good opportunity for you to meet a girl. It’s about time you got yourself a girlfriend after all.’
‘Mum.’
How could I tell her I already liked someone?
And that someone just happened to be Nathan’s pretend girlfriend?
‘Don’t pick on him,’ said dad. He was busy packing things into his backpack on the kitchen table. I couldn’t help but smile at the clothes he was wearing. My dad the man who ate, slept and lived his job and never seemed to be out of his tailor-made business suits was now standing in a bright blue shirt and dark red shorts. He wore a strange green hat on his head and flip-flops on his feet. ‘Say, Conner, you fancy going fishing with me today?’ he asked, as he pointed towards the fishing rods laid out on the kitchen table.
‘Um, maybe another day,’ I replied. ‘I really want to go pick up my bags from the airport and that may take a few hours.’
‘Well, the offer is always open. You know where to find me if you change your mind.’
‘Okay, Dad.’ I headed passed them both and opened the back door of the lake house. ‘Has anyone seen, Lisa?’
‘I believe she went down to the lake for a swim,’ replied mum, as she began to chop away on the kitchen counter.
‘Thanks.’
I turned away and headed out of the lake house.
* * *
It was a five-minute walk from the lake house to the lake. The path was covered with muddy puddles, which were a reminder of the storm from last night. Although the storm had felt like some sort of biblical punishment from the gods, had I just arrived at the lake house today, I would have never known that such a terrible storm had been and gone, as today it was a perfect summer’s day.
The burning fireball of the sun had returned to its rightful place within the bright blue sky. The dark thunderous clouds had now sailed away and little white fluffy ones were scattered here and there against the bright blue above. The howling wind that had battered the lake house last night was now gone and today there was hardly even a breeze. I felt overdressed in my light shirt and trousers. I could feel the heat of the sun on the back of my neck warming my body to the point of discomfort in these clothes. It was such a nice day that it was no wonder that Lisa had headed down to the lake for a swim.
The forest path ahead of me opened into a sparkling mass of light, as the sun reflected like a million twinkling stars off the crystal-clear surface of the lake. My eyes scanned the scene before me. The lake was big beyond big. I could just about make out a lake house of similar design to ours on the opposite side of the lake, but it had to be at least a mile away.
My heart skipped a beat at the sight of Lisa sitting just twenty feet ahead of me beside the lake, but it instantly sank down into my stomach at the sight of Frank sitting beside her. The sleazy husband of my brother’s girlfriend leaned towards Lisa and smiled that charming smile that had got him into the panties of countless women throughout the years.
‘Would you like some lotion?’ he asked.
‘No, thank you,’ replied Lisa. It was clear to see that she was very uncomfortable with the fact that Frank was sitting so close to her. He was practically on her lap.
I could feel the fire of hatred starting to burn within my stomach.
‘Are you sure? You don’t want to get burnt.’ He squeezed the contents of a yellow bottle into the palm of his hand. ‘I would hate for someone so beautiful to get sunburn.’ He placed the lotion covered hand on the top of her thigh and started to stroke it upwards.
‘No, thank you,’ snapped Lisa. She pulled away from him.
Before I realised what was happening my feet were carrying me out of the forest and towards the bank of the lake. Frank glanced over his shoulder in my direction. ‘We’ll finish this later,’ he said and smiled that charming smile. I wanted so badly to slap that grin off his face, but by the time I arrived at Lisa’s location he was already moving off along the bank of the lake.
I stood over Lisa and watched until he disappeared from sight.
‘What a creep,’ sighed Lisa. ‘He has been coming onto me all morning’
I looked down at Lisa, as she sat on the bank of the lake.
Fireworks instantly began to explode within my heart. She was so beautiful it was beyond description. Lisa was laying on the grassy bank in nothing more than a small black bikini. My eyes struggled to take in every inch of beauty that was on display. It was an impossible task. I couldn’t look at everything at once. Where do I start? With her long smooth elegant legs? Or her perfectly toned hour glass figure? Or should I start with her large firm breasts that seemed to be spilling out of her bikini top? Or maybe I should start with her smooth neck and kissable shoulders? Or maybe with that angelic smile that she wore?
‘You are drooling all over me,’ Lisa chuckled.
‘Sorry,’ I replied, as I picked my jaw up off the floor.
‘Don’t be. I like it when you look at me like that.’ Lisa patted the hand on the grassy bank beside her. I didn’t need telling twice. I joined her on the edge of the lake. Lisa slipped her hand into my palm and interlinked her fingers with mine.
‘I spoke with, Miranda and Nathan,’ I admitted. ‘I know everything.’
‘Good.’ Lisa let out a sigh of relief. ‘I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you everything last night.’
‘You were in a difficult situation. I would have done the same thing,’ I replied.
‘What does this mean for us?’ she asked.
‘I don’t know.’ I hesitated for a moment and turned my eyes away from her. ‘I wasn’t sure if you wanted to see me again.’ The tips of Lisa’s fingers touched my chin and she gently lifted my head to face her. My heart began to melt within my chest, as she leaned forward and pressed her soft red lips against mine. Instinctively I pushed myself against her lips and applied more pressure to the kiss. Lisa pushed back and opened her mouth. My tongue slipped inside. Within an instant, we were devouring each other. My hand unconsciously dropped onto her thigh, but instantly I pulled it away. This is what Frank had done just a few minutes ago and it had upset her.
‘It’s okay,’ whispered Lisa. ‘You can touch me.’
I had to swallow down the lump in my throat. She couldn’t help but giggle at my nervous reaction. ‘Conner, I’m yours. You don’t have to be shy anymore. You can do whatever you want to me.’ She took my hand and placed it back upon her thigh. I couldn’t believe how smooth her skin felt.
‘I said to, Nathan, that we would help keep his relationship with, Miranda, a secret for the next six weeks.’ My hand began its slow journey up her thigh.
How far would she reall
y let me go?
‘It means no one can know about us,’ whispered Lisa.
Lisa’s breathing started to grow heavy with anticipation, as my hand moved onto the inside of her thigh. With each breath she took, her breasts heaved up into the air. The pleading, almost begging look, behind her eyes sent pulses of pressure straight down between my legs.
She wanted this as badly as I did.
‘That is the worst part in all of this,’ I whispered back.
My heart nearly exploded out of my chest, as Lisa casually spread her legs.
Was she really going to let me do this?
‘What is?’ she asked.
‘The worst part is that I can’t shout to the world that the most beautiful girl in the whole universe is my girlfriend.’
A pleasing sigh escaped her lips, as I traced the contours of her lips over the top of her bikini panties. She was already wet.
‘You want me to be your girlfriend?’ I pulled her bikini panties to one side. ‘I thought you said you were waiting for the right woman.’
‘I found her,’ I admitted.
Lisa let out a sweet moan, as I pushed two stiff fingers inside of her. I couldn’t believe how wet and warm she felt to the touch. The lips of her pussy tightened their grip on my fingers, as I continued to push them deeper inside of her. Instantly Lisa kissed me hard. Butterflies fluttered wildly within my stomach, as she began to devour my face with deep and powerful kisses.
I began to slide my fingers back and forth.
I pulled my fingers to the point of almost slipping out from between her soaking wet lips and then forced them all the way back inside of her. The feel of Lisa rolling her hips to meet my incoming fingers sent wave after wave of pleasure rippling down between my legs.
Hardness was setting in.
‘Is this the first time you have ever had your fingers inside of a woman?’ whispered Lisa. She moaned with her mouth wise open. I began to cork screw my fingers in a clockwise and anti-clockwise motion.
‘Yes,’ I replied. She took my fingers completely inside of her.
Lisa giggled. ‘You are so,’ I could feel her pussy gripping my fingers. ‘You are so fucking good at it.’
Suddenly the sound of a snapping twig echoed out across the lake. Instantly Lisa and I pulled apart and acted as if we were doing nothing more than sitting by the lake having a normal non-sexual conversation. Dad walked out of the forest with his fishing rod in one hand and a bag of fishing supplies, mainly beer, in the other. He gave us both a little wave, as he went by and continued off along the edge of the lake whistling happily. Lisa and I looked into each other’s eyes. We couldn’t help but laugh. We had nearly been caught for a second time. Dad began to set up his little campsite a little further alone the lake, but within our line of sight.
‘Looks like we won’t get to finish what we started,’ whispered Lisa.
‘The airport called.’ I suddenly remembered why I came down here. ‘Our bags have arrived,’ I explained. ‘I was thinking that maybe you and I take a drive and pick them up.’
Lisa’s smile threatened to consume her entire head it was so wide.
‘I think going with you sounds like a very good idea.’ Her eyes unconsciously fell towards the large bulge beneath my trousers. She bit her lip deep in thought. ‘I will finally get you all alone.’
I couldn’t help but smile. ‘I like the sound of that.’
Chapter Ten: Something Lost and Something Gained
Picking the bags up at the airport had not been as straight forward as I had imagined. Lisa and I were directed from one section to another until we were finally able to collect our bags. It had cost us several hours in which time day had turned into night. The headlights of mum’s car illuminated the dark forest road before us, as we headed back towards the lake house. Trees flashed by in a blur of motion, as I pressed my foot down on the accelerator and the car sped along the deserted road. Lisa sat in the passenger seat beside me. Her eyes were locked on the picturesque view of the moonlight reflecting off the surface of the lake through the gaps within the passing trees.
‘It looks so beautiful,’ she muttered more to herself than anyone else.
‘You are beautiful,’ I corrected.
Lisa laughed. ‘You only say that because you’re in love with me.’
‘Not at all,’ I replied. ‘The fact that I’m in love with you does not affect the fact that you are beautiful.’
Lisa turned her bright blue eyes towards me and for a long moment regarded me in complete silence. ‘What’s wrong?’ I asked nervously.
‘You said you loved me.’
‘I do,’ I admitted. ‘Did I say something wrong?’
‘No,’ she muttered. ‘But how do you know that you’re in love with me?’
‘I just know,’ I shrugged my shoulders. ‘In my life there have been plenty of women who have come on to me, but it always felt wrong. It’s like when they touched me or kissed me I could feel this hollow void inside of me, but when you touch me and when you kiss me I feel complete. I feel like you are the missing part of my soul. It feels right with you.’
‘I always believed in true love. I always believed that out there somewhere in the big wide world was the perfect someone for me, but every single man I ever met just used me for sex. It felt exactly as you said. I could feel this emptiness inside of me when I was with them. I tried to turn a blind eye hoping that one of them would one day manage to fill that void of nothingness within me, but with each failed relationship that emptiness within me seemed to grow bigger and bigger.’ Lisa placed her hand on the top of my thigh. ‘But you have filled that void. You are the man that I have been searching for my entire life. I love you, Conner.’
My heart melted. I couldn’t believe my ears.
The most amazing woman I had ever met was in love with me?
‘I love you too,’ I replied. ‘I really do.’
Pressure began to gather between my legs at the feel of Lisa’s fingertips slowly stroking up along the inside of my thigh. ‘I can’t believe how happy I feel.’ Lisa giggled. Butterflies fluttered within my stomach, as her delicate touch stroked the bulge that was growing beneath my trousers. ‘Why did you decide to stay a virgin so long?’ she asked.
‘I saw how sexual relationships can complicate life and in some cases hurt good people. I wanted to wait for the right woman,’ I explained. ‘I was waiting for you.’
‘Do you,’ Lisa hesitated. ‘Do you want to make love to me?’ she asked.
This was one question I didn’t have to think about. ‘Yes. I do.’
Lisa’s smile spread from ear to ear. ‘Why don’t we stop here for a while,’ she suggested. I replied by slowly applying pressure to the brakes. The car pulled to a stop at the side of the road.
The time had finally come.
* * *
Lisa led me by the hand through the dark forest.
‘Wow,’ she muttered to the world in general.
‘Wow,’ I repeated.
We were standing high on a hill that overlooked the entire lake. From up here we could see for miles. The moon sat high in the cloudless sky surrounded by a million sparkling stars. A mirror image of the heavens above reflected off the surface of the crystal clear lake water below. The only un-natural lights came from the seven lake houses that were positioned here and there at various locations around the lake, but apart from that it was like a perfect picture painted by the gods themselves. I had never seen such an awe-inspiring location in all my life.
‘Conner,’ Lisa said from behind me.
I turned to face her and my heart stopped.
Her long flowing summer dress, black panties and black bra were resting in a pile on the forest floor. Lisa was standing before me completely naked. ‘Make love to me.’ Her words came so softly from her lips that it caused a thousand butterflies to take flight within my stomach.
Lisa stepped towards me.
My eyes unconsciously fell onto her perfectly sculpte
d breasts and large erect nipples. ‘Touch them,’ she said, as if reading my mind. Without warning, she took my hand in hers and guided them to her breasts. They felt so firm within the palm of my hand. I could feel pressure instantly rushing down through my body. It was all gathering at one spot between my legs. I squeezed her breast in the palm of my hand.
It felt so right. I wanted more.
I dropped my head and stepped into her. Lisa released a loud pleasing moan, as I took her breast within my mouth. My lips sucked hard on her large erect nipple. The feel of her delicate fingers curling through my hair sent a quake of pleasure tingling down my spine. She grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled me into her, as she forced her breast into my mouth. I couldn’t believe how nice she tasted. I opened my mouth as wide as humanly possible and I began to consume as much of her breast as I could. The seconds rolled by and my lips moved from one nipple to the other. I was no longer sucking her tits, I was devouring them.
Lisa gasped loudly, as I sunk my teeth into her nipple.
Her hands instantly dropped down and she lifted my head up from her breast and forced her lips firmly against mine. Her tongue lashed powerfully inside my mouth, as she walked me backwards until my muscular back pressed up against the rough bark of an ancient oak tree.
Her fingers began to fumble with my shirt buttons, as she continued to devour my face with deep hard lustful kisses. Lisa moved onto my trouser buttons once my shirt fell open to reveal my rippling abdominal muscles. Unconsciously I pulled my shirt off and dropped in onto the forest floor.
‘Yummy,’ giggled Lisa.
My trousers fell down around my ankles. I wasn’t wearing any underwear, which meant my hard throbbing cock hung exposed in the air. ‘Oh god,’ I couldn’t help but groan at the feel of her fingers wrapping around the shaft of my cock. One touch from Lisa sent a trillion pleasing sensations rushing throughout my entire body. She began to jerk her hand along the shaft. I kicked off my shoes and stepped out of my trousers. Now we were both naked upon the hill that overlooked the lake.
