It was nice to be home. We set up the folding chairs out in the backyard around the fire pit. The hubby started ripping up the usual pound of old newspapers to start the fire going. I grabbed the marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers off the kitchen table inside. Outside, the frogs and crickets began their chirping.
"Honey, you remember that night when we first did this?" Owen said as he stacked the wood in the pit.
"Yeah, at Lucky Loggers Campground. It was the night that I kissed you." I sat down in the chair near him.
"You made yourself out to be so young and innocent. But you weren't. You were a naughty girl weren't you?" Owen was smiling. I could tell he was back in those first moments of love we shared that evening.
"Oh, yes. I loved it when you gave me back that tender, soft kiss in return." I picked up the sticks beside the chairs and put marshmallows on the ends.
"Yes, that was a real kiss, unlike the peck on my dimple you gave me."
"Hey! I was young and innocent, you know. You were the one that kept moving back behind me, trying to hide your rock hard erection. I felt it up against my spine the whole night. And you loved it when I put your hand up my shirt."
Owen had that lustful grin on his face. I could tell tonight was going to be a good night. He gave a low growl and made his way over to me. The fire was now crackling into the night air. I lifted my face as he leaned down, brushing his lips along my own. I reached up and grabbed his head, pressing my mouth into a deeper kiss with him. Our tongues swirled in an ancient dance we'd been practicing for years.
"So you wanna stay up 'till three in the morning, like we did that night?"
"Sure, but don't just kiss me this time, okay?"
"What do you want me to do?" Owen scanned with his cane, until he found the large log that we kept for special evenings like this. He sat down with his legs over each side of the log. Folding up his cane, he motioned for me to join him. I grabbed the two sticks and leaned them up against the log. I swung my leg over the wood and sat down. Owen wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug. This is what love felt like.
