Taking one of her legs I put it over my shoulder and sent my lips towards her mound as my insatiable hunger took hold. She removed her finger and spread her pussy lips, and I eased slowly into position.
She was already wet and ready. I decided to tease her as I let out some moans of my own, and with slow and deliberate licking, I worked from the bottom to the top of her pussy. Over and over, I worked a rhythm. Ever so slowly. Water rushed over my face as I did.
Amanda’s leg started to shudder and each time I moved over her clit she would let out a little moan. Giving up on the tease I isolated her clit with her lips still spread and I focused all of my attention on it.
Running my entire tongue over her clit with a firm pressure I wrapped my lips around it, and sucked drawing it into my mouth. I flicked my tongue sometimes softly and sometimes harder.
Continuing, I could feel her shaking. “Oh god.” She moaned, “Oh god! Holy shit!” She continued, as she gripped my hair aggressively. She bucked on my face, riding it without care.
Letting out an enormous moan her legs shook violently as she orgasmed. She took hold of my head and tried to push me away, but I held my tongue in place not moving at all. She let my head go as she continued to spasm.
After she regained her balance I stood, slowly running my hands up her body and she shook as I did so. A look of hunger crossed her face. My body was responding and was hard again.
Standing up, I picked her up and pinned her against the wall roughly. Her arms wrapped around me while her nails dug into my back as I positioned myself, and thrust into her slowly.
She was extremely wet and the warmth coming from within her sent thrills through my body. Sliding in and out, I increased the pace as she bit into my neck viciously, and her moans mixed with mine.
She bounced up and down violently ,as my hardness pushed fully inside her. Putting her back on the floor, she faced the handhold and grabbed onto it while bending over to present her amazing ass.
Stepping behind her I entered her again and thrust forcefully inside. Skin slapping skin, as we fucked each other aggressively.
I was breathing hard and she was letting out louder and louder moans. I grabbed her hair with my left hand pulling her head back and held her hips with the other.
Releasing her hips, only to slap her ass firmly with my right hand. Squeezing and then slapping again, I continued to thrust deep into her as far as I could go.
The water was starting to get cold so I turned it up then returned my hands to her hips. Thrusting over and over we worked together as she pushed back onto me.
Her moans became constant and my grunts more forceful, “Fuck me!” She called. Increasing the pace my thighs slapping noisily against her ass, “Fuck me harder!” She yelled, “Harder!” She called again. I released a hand and slapped her ass violently, which left a red mark. Her cry of pleasure only increased my own as I slapped her again.
Grasping a handful of her hair I yanked her head back as I slapped her ass and thrust deeply into her. “Oh my god!” She screamed.
“You are so fucking sexy, I love fucking you.” I said gruffly. My breath coming heavy. I was nearing climax as I thrust as deep and hard as I could into her. She worked her ass against my pelvis until finally, “I’m cumming!” She yelled.
“Me too!” I grunted as I slapped her ass one more time harder than ever before. I breathed heavily and she let out an explosive moan as her entire body shook against me.
I came inside her with the next thrust, as the rushing built through me unleashing a loud sigh as I released into her. Pulling out of her she turned around and stood facing me with a satisfied grin on her face which I returned.
“Not bad.” She said, dismissively.
“Hey!” I replied, “My performance was at least a four out of ten!” I replied smiling.
“Three. But better than nothing.” She said with a shrug. I couldn’t help but laugh.
We finished our shower and got dressed. Walking out of the door Rachel was in the kitchen singing to herself. Looking up she spied us walking out of the bathroom, and let out a laugh and a thumbs up. Amanda was in front of me so she didn’t see me grinning like a fool and my returned thumbs up.
“Solid effort!” She called out.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Amanda replied haughtily.
“Whatever! The people the next block over would know what I’m talking about!” Rachel replied with a laugh. Amanda blushed slightly, and I joined in with a laugh of my own.
Some days passed and we found ourselves packing to head away for our adventure. For me it was incredibly easy, as most of my belongings were already packed away, but for Amanda it was a different story. Trying to decide on shirts and pants and shoes. It was comical to watch.
Thinking to myself, one of everything is plenty for a guy, I grinned at the display.
Amanda looked over and caught me grinning. “What!” She said exasperated, “It’s hard okay.” She added defensively.
“I didn’t say anything!” I replied, my grin only strengthened. She shook her head in disgust and returned her attention to her packing and muttered something under her breath.
At my best guess Amanda finished packing her bags a few hours later, and came over and punched me soundly on the arm. “Dick.” She said with a smile.
“You know it!” I responded, with a hearty laugh.
Walking past me she left the room and I lay back down on her bed thinking I should call Chris to let him know how everything had ended up. Picking up my phone, I dialed and he answered straight away.
“Hey James! How are you bud?” He asked with a hint of concern in his voice.
“I’m doing great thanks man! How are you?” I queried.
“Everything is good here! Nothing really changed since you left. Hasn’t been that long though. I have to know. How did everything turn out with Amanda?” He asked.
“Perfectly. Well, almost perfectly. It was a bumpy ride at first because I made the stupid mistake of calling her and telling her I was here for her…” I said, “However, it all ended well. Remember I told you about Bob and Laurene. Bob came and whipped some sense into me and gave me a push in the right direction.” I paused for a moment, “Sadly though he did it on the day of Laurene’s funeral. Crazy stuff.” I said with a sigh.
“Wow that’s heavy.” He started, “What a good man though. Going out of his way to help you, on that day of all days. Unbelievable. If I’m ever down in LA, I’d like to meet him and shake his hand.” He said admiringly.
“Yeah, definitely. I want to see him too. I tried to call him a couple of times, but didn’t get an answer. So I sent him a quick email but he hasn’t replied yet. I’m sure he just wants some time to himself or something. It’s a bit hard to tell. Whatever happens, I’ll come and visit him once I’m back. From the Caribbean!” I said with excitement filling my voice.
“Now that’s pretty exciting. You going with Amanda I guess?” He asked.
“Yes we’re going together to work on our relationship. Just the two of us. In person. Fingers crossed I can keep myself together and not do something ridiculous, hey?” I said with a laugh.
“I’m sure you’ll do something stupid.” He added with his own laugh.
“Thanks for the vote of confidence.” I replied, feigning hurt.
“Come now James. You have a horrible track record!” He said bursting into laughter again. This time I joined him.
“I’ve got some work to do I know that. Nothing is meant to be easy though.” I said more seriously
“That’s right! Just for God’s sake, learn from your mistakes!” He exclaimed strongly.
“Yes, Dad.” I mocked.
“Good boy.” He said with finality.
“How’s Brad, Sam and James doing?” I asked.
“They are good. As I said nothing, has really changed to be honest. Any saucy updates though and I’ll be sure to keep you posted.” He replied
“Saucy updates
hey.” I laughed, “Appreciate that mate.” I added still laughing.
“I just figured you’d want to know that sort of thing right? Brad’s sex life for instance. He’s still having an on and off thing with his hand I’m pretty sure.” He said seriously.
“On and off?” I asked, mirth touching my voice.
“Yeah! He puts his hand on his dick, and then he takes it off when he’s done.” He replied, with a ridiculous laugh.
“You’re a dumb-ass.” I replied, but I couldn’t help laugh, “You’ll be a good dad one day with that type of joke.” I added wryly.
“Someone has to do it. Usually it’s Brad, but I can be as stupid as him if I want to be!” He said happily.
“Damn right” I replied, “Anyway mate, just thought I would call you to let you know I’m all good.” I said seriously.
“Thanks for that bud. It’s good to hear you’re back on track. Have fun in the Caribbean! And don’t do anything stupid like propose!” He said energetically, with a laugh at the end. I burst into laughter at the thought of a proposal.
“I’ll try my best to have fun thanks mate. As for the proposal. I think for some reason that might be a little bit too soon! But I appreciate the warning! Talk to you soon mate and keep out of trouble!” I replied.
“You do things at a million miles an hour James. Someone has to try and put the brakes on for you! If you had it your way, you’d probably be married to her with two kids and a picket fence already!” He laughed, “Anyway get out of here and have fun.” He added more seriously.
“Okay mate! Take care.” I replied and hung up with a smile.
It was great to talk to Chris after all of his help and advice. He was definitely one of my best friends now, and it had only been less than half a year since we met.
Joining the girls in the kitchen, I sat down and looked over to Rachel, “I seriously need to set you up with Chris.” I said with a smile, “When I’m back, I’ll get him to drag his ass down to LA to meet you.” I added with certainty.
“I’d like that. If you’re so in love with him, he must have some redeeming qualities.” She replied with a grin.
“From what I know of him, he is really nice.” Amanda said with a smile, “It’s about time you find a nice man.” She added, hiding a smile with her hand pretending to scratch her face.
“Thanks…” Rachel replied with a sidelong glance, “I just need to find a hopeless romantic like this big idiot.” She said patting me on the arm. I tried to protest but Amanda laughed and nodded her head.
“He is pretty hopeless.” Amanda said.
“I try my best.” I said, giving up on the protest with a small smile.
“I’m kind of impressed you came all this way just to try and fix things with Amanda though.” Rachel said seriously, “Not many guys would do something like that.” She added quietly.
“When you told me on the phone, I was so shocked I didn’t know what to say so I panicked and hung up.” Amanda said with a grin.
“That was my bad. I shouldn’t have blurted it out like that. My hastiness has always been a problem! Trying to make everything perfect straight away, just backfires on me.” I replied grimly.
“You need to build on these things. You can’t make it all happen at once.” Rachel said.
“I’ve been given that advice on more than one occasion, I just seem to ignore it when the time comes. When I get excited, all of the advice I try to remember, and on top of that, my intelligence… Everything goes out the window in a heartbeat. You make me stupid.” I said, looking over to Amanda.
“Hey, don’t blame me!” She said grinning, “Maybe you’re just stupid to begin with!” She added with a laugh.
I shook my head and Rachel started to laugh too. Throwing my hands in the air with an exaggerated sigh, I rolled my eyes and gave up. I wasn’t going to win this.
“I’ll take that. I probably deserve it, but you two better watch out when you screw up.” I said, returning Amanda’s own words from long ago to her as I rubbed my hands together eagerly.
“Oh but James! You’ll be waiting for so long! We would never be able to keep up with all of your mistakes.” Rachel said playfully, throwing her arms up defensively as I moved towards her with an evil look in my eyes. Amanda grabbed me from behind hugging me and I stopped in my tracks laughing.
“Let’s watch a movie together before we head away, Rach is going to be all lonely!” I said, turning around embracing Amanda.
“That sounds good.” Amanda replied, letting go of me and moving to the couch. Rachel only nodded with a slight smile.
Our night was spent lazily, with all of us watching movies and drinking whatever we could find in the fridge or cabinets. Sometimes the best nights were the easiest ones and this was one of them.
On the day of our departure, we casually stood in line at the airport check-in with tickets in hand. We spoke of the adventure to come with smiles on our faces. My nerves were not bothering me at the prospect of flight, and I was feeling good about getting on a plane. I even smiled at the thought. Amanda looked at me questioningly and I shook my head indicating nothing was wrong.
We made it to the front of the line and checked in without any problems. Walking hand in hand we found a cafe and waited for our flight to be called. “Something like this is what I wanted to do from the start, but the last few weeks, I wouldn’t have thought it would have ever happened, let alone so fast.” I said smiling across the table at Amanda.
“And whose fault was that! At least you made up for it.” She replied, her eyes shining the whole time.
“It took some convincing from an excellent and amazing man, but here we are!” I said still smiling.
“We should go and see Bob when we get back. I’d love to meet him.” Amanda said in reply.
“Let’s do that. I’m sure he would like the company. I can’t thank him enough.” I said as I looked into the distance.
Boarding for our flight was called and we made our way to the gate. We found ourselves through the line and on to the plane. Walking through the door I handed my ticket to a flight attendant.
“Row 15 seat A.” She said and I looked up at her in surprise. I laughed and walked towards our seats. Amanda looked at me quizzically and sat down next to me after stowing her carry on.
“What’s so funny?” She asked quizzically.
“Just row 15.” I replied, still laughing to myself.
“What about it?” She persisted
“Every time I get on a plane it seems I’m destined to sit in this row.” I said, shaking my head with a smile.
I settled into my seat further and sighed as I looked out the window. “My adventure started back home in Australia and I was sitting in Row 15. Here I am starting a new adventure with you,and here we are sitting in the exact same row. It’s a nice coincidence is all.” I said, turning back to Amanda with a broad smile on my face.
“That’s kind of nice.” She replied, taking my hand in hers.
“I like to think so.” I said, as I squeezed her hand.
It didn’t take long for us to taxi out onto the runway and the engines roared. The plane moved down the runway and the increasing pace forced us back into our chairs. The nose lifted from the ground, and we rose into the air majestically. We were away.
Epilogue
Soft waves broke against the glistening white sand. A fresh sea breeze caressed our faces as we looked out upon the ocean.
The sun began its slow descent as we sat hand in hand watching the spectacle. “This has been the best year of my life,” I whispered, not wanting to ruin the moment.
“Mine too,” Amanda replied in her own hushed tones. Neither of us turned to look at the other, but instead our hands tightened together and a slow smile crept across my lips.
Everything had happened so quickly, but I knew it all happened for a reason. It had been more than a year since Amanda and I had decided to travel together to the Caribbean, and our adventures had only started the
re.
We visited fifteen different countries together on a shoestring budget and had shared so many experiences.
Our latest adventure had been introducing Amanda to my family. Everything went smoothly and they immediately fell in love with her. The whole affair had been a whirlwind trip. We had left with our hearts and stomachs full.
Leaving had been hard as it had been a long time since I had seen my family, but sitting with Amanda on Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays, more than made up for it.
It was perfect.
We sat together until the sun was touching the horizon and I released Amanda’s hand and turned my head to watch her. She looked over at me, and smiled softly and returned her gaze to the sunset.
Watching her for a moment longer, I smiled my warmest smile. “What’s that?” I asked slowly, pointing to something sticking out of the sand slightly down the beach.
“Hmm?” Amanda replied coming out of a reverie, “What? Where?” She added as she turned to follow my pointing finger.
“You see it?” I asked.
“I do now. Let’s go have a look.” She replied, standing up and brushing sand off of herself.
As we walked over Amanda let out a small excited noise “It’s a message in a bottle!” She said.
“Oh nice! What’s it say?” I added, my own excitement building.
She put her fingers gently into the bottle and slowly drew out the note. Speaking softly, she read the note out loud…
I never thought I would find someone who would mean so much to me. For years, I felt like I had been missing something. Searching for something, but could never place my finger on just what it was I was missing. Only now I understand just how much I have been blessed in this life.
It took a chance encounter in passing to first see the love of my life. At the time I didn’t know just how special she was, but a feeling struck me, that one day I would find out.
