Day 8 The Cloud's Silver Lining
The following morning, I was having an unusually realistic erotic dream in which Kate was sucking my cock. As I left dreamland, I suddenly realized that the physical sensation was far too vivid to be a dream. I opened my eyes. To my enormous astonishment, Kate really was sucking on my cock.
I propped myself up on my elbows, watched her for moment. The movement of the bed must have alerted her to my wakefulness.
She looked up toward me, and said mischievously. "It's time to wake up. It's better than an alarm clock, don't you think?"
"We haven't been using an alarm clock," I pointed out, "but it sure is a nice way to be woken up."
It would be an understatement if I were to say that the day was looking promising.
While I was taking care of business in the bathroom, I became increasingly optimistic that I was going to have a really good day.
When I rejoined Kate, she said, "You're right, Peter. Running off at our age is not practical and potentially very disruptive. Lucy doesn't deserve to be hurt. It's true I've been hard on Hal. Maybe I should give him another chance. There is no guarantee of course that we'll work things out. In any case, we won't find out until we talk face-to-face. And that's not going to happen until I get back to my regular life. I still intend to stay with my daughter in Boston for at least a few days before I take my flight back to Seattle. Hal made me wait a long time before finally contacting me. So, he can wait until I'm back home."
I nodded in agreement. What else could I do?
Then she added, "But there was one thing we still have to address."
"What?" I asked.
"We started an affair. Nothing can wipe out what has happened between us or what we've done. It cannot be undone now. So, there is nothing to lose by continuing what we've been doing until we reach Philadelphia."
'Oh joy! Oh joy! I chortled mentally. What I heard next was music to my ears. It was like having Christmas in May, knowing what my gift would be.
Then I thought of a Christmas son, 'Jingle Bells'.
'Jingle bells, Jingle Bells!
Jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a widely open lay.'
Kate must have noticed a smirk on my face. "What are you thinking about?" she asked, her brows furrowed in suspicion.
'Oh shit,' I thought, 'think fast man.'
"I was thinking," I said after a slight hesitation, "that you just gave me a Christmas gift even though it's May."
It was not a complete lie because she was, as far as I was concerned, a gift to me. But it was not a complete truth either, because I withheld the fact that the gift that I was hoping to receive was renewed access to her delectable little body.
She seemed to take what I said as a compliment, which it was in a male sort of way. She must have bought into my partial explanation because she changed the subject.
"Hal was the one who left me. As far as I'm concerned," she continued, "Hal and I are still separated until such time as we reach an agreement to reconcile," and then added, "if we reconcile."
My libido was beginning to surge. I suddenly wanted to make love to her right then and there.
I was about to make my move when, suddenly, we heard a loud crashing noise coming from outside. We looked out the window and saw that the noise came from a nearby road construction project, which was starting up the day's operations.
'Damn, another thing is getting in my way,' I thought, 'this time, a road obstruction project.'
I was in the mood for a round of hot sex, but, when I checked my watch, I realized that we really did have to get back on the road.
"Let's get out of here," I suggested.
'Damn,' I thought again.
I went to the front office to pay our bill while Kate performed her morning ablutions.
When I returned, she was about to put on a sundress, which she was pulling over her head.
As the dress fell into place around her body, I had a wicked idea. "Take off your panty."
"What?"
"Take off your panty," I repeated.
"But it would feel funny going without a panty," she protested, obviously embarrassed.
"I want you to take them off because it will remind you that I'm hot for you."
She hesitated.
"Nobody is going to see anything," I pointed out, "at least nothing I haven't already seen," I added teasingly. Then I appealed to her sense of being second to no man. "But if you're too chicken..."
