"This is fucking madness."
She leant against the doorframe and pulled him into the room. "You don't like it? I thought it would be fun."
"We have a perfectly good bed at home." He sighed, hefting his suitcase through the door.
"You're such a party pooper, this is just why we need to do it. A holiday will do you good." She laughed. "Anyway, you're not here to talk." The door slammed behind him and he followed her down the short corridor, his possessions discarded. The bedroom was painted white with a bed to the left. Opposite, floor to ceiling windows opened out onto a sun-bleached deck that led to a wide, manicured lawn. Beyond that, was a sliver of white sand and the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. In the room,she had half covered the windows with shades that streaked the room with light and shadow. It was, he thought, the perfect place for a holiday.
"What am I here for then?" He smiled, kissed her neck, the worry of every day life melting away. There was something about being here with her that made him feel unspeakably relaxed as though the sun and her calm, easy way leeched the tension right out of him and left him filled with sunlight.
"You're here to be a warm, functioning dick, sugar." She purred. "A balm to my aching cunt for the next couple of weeks. You don't have to think, you don't have to be anything to anyone but focus entirely on making me happy."
"Oh, I-" He stuttered then stopped, beamed over at her; even after all this time she still had the power to surprise him. "You know just how to turn me on."
"You can wear the hood or the gag." She said, ignoring his flattery on purpose, gesturing to the two items placed on the bed. The gag was simple; black straps and a fine, silver bit that made him drool horribly. It was precisely why she had chosen it, he was certain. Next to it, was a black, latex hood that covered his face but left a sliver of his jawline free like he was some submissive superhero come to save the day. She would nip at his jaw and tell him as much whenever he wore it. "I know that you had a bit of a panic the last time we played and you had the hood on." Her arm was curled around his waist now, her fingers rubbing tenderly at his side. "I want you to be comfortable otherwise you don't get subby for me." Her hand was moving in bigger, soothing arcs now, her voice a delicious lilt that made him want to sink to his knees right there. Of course, he didn't dare to do so; she would set the pace.
"Thank you." He kissed her hair. "You always remember."
"I try." She shrugged, pulled off her cardigan, flushed with the heat. "Are you feeling okay now? The trip here wasn't too arduous, was it?"
He shook his head. "You have no idea how glad I am to be here. I've missed you. I missed this." He gestured to the room.
She smiled, pulled him nearer and kissed him, her body melting against his, coming alive once more at the way he felt. In response, he ran his hands over the small of her back. "I missed you." She whispered. "So much."
"I know." He said, pulling away and looking down at her with inky eyes. "Missed you, too."
"But now we have as much time as we'd like. This holiday will do you good." She looked up at him, batted away an errant strand of hair. It had grown longer since she had last seen him; long enough that he could pull it into a ponytail. She laughed.
"What?" He frowned at her, pulled her towards the bed. They sprawled out on the cool sheets and then, he realised, he'd never been more thankful for anything. It beat six months on a camping cot, that was certain.
"This will be fun." She teased, pulling at his hair so that it wrapped around her hand.
"Oh." He coloured slightly. "I hadn't even thought of that."
"Hmm." She purred, pulling his jaw upward with a single movement of her palm around his ponytail. "You walked right into that one, didn't you, sweetness?"
"I suppose I did." He grinned. "I never thought about it. It just seemed practical."
"I love it on you." She pushed him back, her mouth meeting his again, their hands grappling with cotton and zips and buttons like they were parched for one another. "You look a little roughed up, it's sexy."
"It's twelve hours travelling." he laughed, his dark eyes flickering over her bared shoulders, the relief of her body underneath the thin sundress she wore. "Then, before that, a whole lot of time in the jungle."
"Did you miss me?" She purred, her fingers loosening the buttons on his shirt. "All that time in the jungle with only your fellow naturalists for assistance." Her mouth skated across his jaw, the stubble catching her lips. She knew that she'd end up looking like she'd been punched in the mouth but, if she was honest, she didn't care and felt that the people in the hotel wouldn't either. Why else would you book the honeymoon suite?
"I can't tell you." He smiled, genuinely relieved. "I spent so many days and nights longing to feel you next to me, to feel your body in my arms, pressed against my chest-" he stopped, kissed her again, "that at one point I began thinking about getting kidnapped by the tribespeople."
She laughed. "Well, I'm glad to see you didn't get eaten or ritually killed. The only person that will be kidnapping and torturing you from now on will be me."
He sighed happily. "Now that's something I can get behind."
