Sunset

1755 Words
Spreading a blanket on the beach, they place the basket with wine and snacks down, kick off their shoes and walk to the water's edge. With the cool water washing over their bare feet, they continue to talk. "The sunset is magnificent," he says as they stare at the glow together. the sound of Jess's phone breaks the comfortable silence and she digs for it in her pocket and answers "Dr. Jess, hello...wow, slow down...say again.. no I'm not, ..oh my....yes, I'm happy for you... can you get to the clinic? ...yes, be there in 10. bye" and hangs up. "I'm so sorry James, I have to go..." she says starting back to the blanket to grab her shoes and the picnic stuff. " Leave it, don't worry. Is everything ok?" James asks walking with her. "Yes, a couple got engaged, and she accidentally swallowed the ring.." Jess says suddenly facing him, and bursting out laughing when his mouth fell open. Oh boy, that laugh "wow, definitely a night to remember" James jokes and Jess laughs again." Go, I will take care of all this in a bit, maybe we can do it another night?" James questioned and Jess agrees, "definitely". " Bye," he waves as she drives off. Watching until her car disappears around the bend. With a heavy sigh, he makes his way back to the blanket on the beach, sitting down to watch the last rays of the sun fade. Gathering everything in the blanket and heading back up to the cabin, his mind replays the events of the day, and he smiles. I should probably eat some of these snacks, he thinks as he packs everything away, no use wasting them. Sitting in the cool evening air, he finds his mind has wandered to Jess again, wondering what she's doing right now...oh yeah, extracting an engagement ring from some poor soul. Smiling he goes inside when the clock on the mantle reads eleven pm. Time to try and get some sleep. James is exhausted by the time the sun rolls in the window. Two hours, two whole hours of sleep. Ugh, this has got to end, for heaven's sake, " I need more sleep!" The phone vibrates and Jess's name flashes on the screen. mmm. "Good morning to you too," he thinks as he checks the time, 8 am, and opens the app. He smiles as he shoots her a response, agreeing to a hike in the late afternoon. Having some time to spare, he lays back down, stretching out and resting. Opening his eyes again what feels like five minutes later, only to find that three hours have passed. "Well that's something" he mutters to himself, dreaming of her got him three more hours. " I wonder what the real thing would do...?" he gets up to take a shower chuckling to himself, and relieving the tension in his body. A quick lunch and a change of clothes and his feet hitting the sand, a good run will take the edge off his sleep and s*x-deprived body and mind. Running on the wet sand feels good. The water to his left, sand and forest to the right, and the cool breeze coming in from the sea blowing over his hot, sweaty body as he completes the five-kilometer jog on the beach. Wow, this feels good, he thinks as he steps into the bathroom to wash away the sweat. James is lounging on the chair looking out into the forest when Jess pulls up in her Jeep. Stepping out he gasps at the site, of khaki shorts, a tight white t-shirt, and hiking boots. The outfit looks fabulous on her, hugging her curves perfectly as if it was made for her. Her long hair was in a tight braid hanging over one shoulder. Oh boy, "I'm in trouble for sure," he thinks as his crotch twitches at the sight. Well, "Good afternoon miss Jess" he greats with a playful smile trying to reign in his feelings of lust. Her eyes light up at the sound of mischief in his voice, " Good afternoon, sir" a giggle escapes her lips. "Let me grab my water, and we can go, ok?" he says laughing as he walks into the cabin. Trying hard to get some distance between them to cool down. " Need anything" he shouts out to her, and she pokes her head in the door to reassure him that she is fine. "Let's go then," he says as he steps off the porch and they walk in companionable silence for a while. " So how was the ring extraction?" he breaks the silence. She laughs and shares the events of her day after leaving him on the beach. They laugh together. "What excitement did you get into once I left?" she questions. He shrugs his shoulders " I watched the sunset, it is magnificent, as advertised", he winks in her direction and she blushes. " Then dragged everything back in, made myself a snack, and packed the rest in the fridge." he continues. A huge smile spreads on her face. She should smile more, he thinks as they hike further into the forest. He smiles at this weird out of place sentiment. Glancing over at James she can't help but be drawn into him, strong, domineering, and controlled. I wonder what he looks like out of control? Hopefully nothing like Andrew, she starts to think but quickly pushes the bad thoughts away. He seems sweet, and caring more than domineering and controlling. she muses walking in step with him. The hike is fantastic, they see some small critters, a dear, and traces of larger predators. It felt good in the fresh forest air. When darkness starts to settle in around them, they finally make their way back to the cabin. Not really wanting the night to end just yet, he invites her for some leftover snacks and a glass of wine, which she quickly accepts. It's just wine and snacks, I really need to start letting people back in, besides he seems harmless enough, not triggering her flight or fight response she usually has towards men, strange... she thinks to herself as she smiles at the thought of spending a few more minutes with him. He makes her heart stutter and her body warm, not sure why. .oh who am I kidding, he's s*x on a stick, that's why she thinks and smiled at her admittance. Definitely hot! He lights a fire on the beach side of the property, making sure the grounds are safe, and they sit down side by side on the couch, talking and sharing parts of their lives and their background. She stays clear of her history, just glancing over her life, focusing more on the here and now. One glass turns to two and then three before they know it the bottle is empty on the ground and they are both more relaxed. This feels so good, he thinks. The perfect night, she thinks. "It's a beautiful evening" she states and brings him back to the present. " It is magnificent, as is the company" he smiles and gestures to open a second bottle. "Oh, not for me thanks, I still have to drive, you have coffee?" she stood and made her way into the cabin. He follows close behind. Trying to be hospitable he reaches for the makings of the coffee she needs, but as he reaches for the cup, so does she. When their hands meet he chooses to wrap his hand around her wrist as she takes hold of the cup. She feels a sudden spark on her skin I wonder what his hands would feel like elsewhere on my skin...what the hell, I haven't wanted the touch of a man in years, not after what happened, That was so out of my control, and the only way to get back the control was to deny myself...oh but the tingles of possibility...She takes a slow breath as he dips his head lower to kiss her neck. A hot zing shoots straight to her core. Leaving soft sweet kisses on her shoulder and then her cheek, before making his way to her lips. The heat from his lips seeping into hers, she gasps at the sensation, and he deepens the kiss in response. Claiming her mouth, nibbling and licking, he pulls her into his arms, clearing all thoughts from her mind, removing the cup from her hand and placing it on the cabinet next to them. Her heart raced at the feel of his tongue dueling with hers, keeping up the fight for dominance in the kiss. Heat rising in her core, she presses closer to him to suppress the flames, but instead, they burn brighter and higher. His hands cup her ass and she jumps up to wrap her legs around his waist. Her hot little body molding to him, oh this feels so good he thinks as he devours her mouth. Making his way to the bedroom he pulls away at the door to take a breath and to look at her, to allow her the same and to give her time to decide, the look in her eyes for a moment makes him pause, Jess is struggling with herself, wanting the touch and the feeling of a warm body next to her, but scared shitless at the possible outcome, deciding to just let go and take it from there in the morning she smiles at him, Jess smiles warmly and smashes her lips to his, he steps through the door. She wants me too, but there is a hesitation, is this going too fast...she is so perfect... he thinks as he places her down on the bed slowly, lifting her body to lay in the middle of the bed. Kissing his way down her body, he removes her boots and socks, worshiping every inch of her body as he removes her clothing, and then his own. She looks magnificent stretched out on his bed bathed in moonlight. A vision for sure... "You sure about this?" he asks, wanting to give her a last chance to back out. She looks unsure and at war with herself, but when she sits up smiling at him coyly, and pulls him over her he wastes no time. They explore each other's bodies to the fullest and fall asleep sated and happy just before midnight, wrapped in each other's arms.
