Page 17 of Wishful Thinking

Sal watched as the clouds cleared and one golden ray came streaming through, landing on Belle. It illuminated her in an angelic glowing light and he began taking her picture. She laughed and leaned back, flinging her long hair over her shoulder like a cape and he continued snapping.

“You’ve aged well, Sal, though, looking good as always. I’ve often wondered what would have happened if Gina hadn’t pulled her shit. I wonder,would wehave made it? Been one of those old married couples growing fat and content?” Her eyes held a far-away look and Sal felt a tear slip down his cheek. He wiped it as she looked at him, then she moved away from him.

“No sense in wondering. Time hasa way of soothing the heart. I’ll give it that much. It is good to see you again, I’ve missed you.” Sal set the camera down and walked over to her. He kneeled down and touched her hair, feeling the soft strands beneath his fingers.

“I’ve missed you too, Belle. Nota day has gone by where you weren’t in my thoughts. Trust me, I’ve kicked myself in the ass a thousand times since then. You’re right, you can’t go back and re-arrange the past. But, you can begin again, start fresh. We’re all grown up, a lot of water has moved below the bridges between us, but I’d give the worldto try again.” Her smile was sad, but she looked up at him with need in her eyes. She shifted and got up on her knees, touched his face and studied him.

“I believe you Sal. That’s one thing, your face was always like a picture. WhatI foundthere was alwaystruth. I don’t know what I want. I have to be truthful. There’s a part of me that’s wary. But there’s a part of me that wants you to layme down in the sand and fuck me like there’s no tomorrow. Silly, I know. It’s such a contradiction, hmmm…. So what do we do? You’re only here for a month, it seems like such a short time. I’ve got my life here. There has been no one for me, and I’m not sure I’m ready to give up my solitude and independence.”

Sal looked at her, his erection in full force as the words fell from her lips. He could see her nipples growing hard as they stared at each other and she ran her finger down his chest, through the hairs that marked his muscular torso. His stomach was firm, not quite a six-pack, but he took care of his body and wasn’t ashamed of it. Sal ran his finger down her face and she closed her eyes and breathed in. His face moved forward, and he kissed her softly. She met his kiss as he wrapped his arms around her. He knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her. Her hands roamed over his body and moved towards his trunks. Sal moaned and pushed her bikini top aside, moving his head down, he suckled her nipple, one after the other, paying equal homage. She purred and leaned back as Sal ministered to her body.

He slipped her bottoms down and stopped, gazing at her silvery blonde pubic hair. Not wanting to move fast, his fingers enjoying each stroke and moment he had with his beautiful Belle. She shifted her leg, and he moved between them. The sun streamed on their bodies as his mouth moved from her breast downward. She smelled of coconut and he inhaled the musk of her scent. His tongue nudging her lips apart, he lapped at her abundant juices.

Belle lifted her legs as his hand held her thighs. He moved his tongue in and out and she smiled as the feelings took over her body. She moved her body in time with his ministrations and he stopped as she neared the edge of losing it.

“Oh no, oh no…” Sal opened his eyes and glanced up at her. Her eyes opened wide,filled with fear.

“Oh babe, I’m sorry, maybe it’stoo soon. I should have been more thoughtful, we can stop.” Belle jumped up and grabbed her wrap.

“Christ, the tide’s rising fast. I forgot about that. If we don’t leavenow, we’ll have to deep diveout. I should have told you. It’s the only sucky thing withthese caverns. They fill up with water as the tide rises. With your camera, I don’t think you want to carry it swimming out. Trust me, we can resume our, um… position, just not in here. Let’s go, shall we?” Sal grabbed his camera and slipped it into the plastic bags, sealing each one in case. Following Belle through the thigh deep water, they made their way around the curve of the rocks and up to dry land.

“You didn’t get many pics, but God,that was fun. I’d forgotten what a master you were at that. Sal, you’rean artist painting the canvas. You’ve still got it.” Sal grinned at her.

“Glad I could oblige. How about we go to my place? It is quiet there, I’ve got beer, and the bed iscomfortable.” Belle chuckled.

“I thought you’d never ask. I’m getting hungry for a snack though, you have food, right?” Sal went through the options in his head and smiled.

“It’smicrowaved, but yeah, I’ve got stuff. Stella did a great job stocking the coffers for my stay. I haven’t needed a thing, and I’m more than willing to share my goodies with youif you’re a good girl. You’re still a good girl, right?”

Belle moved towards him licking her lips. She ran her hands over her breasts and stared into his eyes.

“Oh babe, does this look like a bad girl to you? I’m a good girl. But alas, through the years I’ve learned some tricks and sometimes I can be, well…Wicked, I suppose.” Sal closed the distance and wrapped her in his arms. He kissed her on the cheek and grinned.

“Baby girl, there’s a time and place for more loving. I’m afraid I’m still, how shall I put it, happy to see you?” he said looking down at the bulge in his trunks.

“I see Philippe heading down the beach. Unless you wish to give the boy lessons in love, I suggest we hit the road and head for someplacemore secluded. I’ll even spank you if you show me how bad you are, sweets.” Belle smiled.

“Well, I’m in a hurry for release, so I suggest you get a move on Mr. Snapshot, I’ve got a view to die for.” She giggled and headed for the road, not wanting to walk the beach and run into Philippe. Sal could feel his erection firing back into full hard-on mode and he followed like an eager puppy.
