“What the—I guess it doesn’t matter. I was just coming back to get some paperwork the owners left in a drawer here. They took your offer by the way. So you can stop by my office this afternoon and get everything signed up.”
He says this all the while walking around us, keeping his gaze averted. He opens a drawer, pulls some documents out, and retraces his steps. He’s just stepping out the door, his back to us, when he pauses. “Congratulations.”
Then he’s gone, leaving us to our nervous laughter.
Chapter 12
Two Months Later
“I’m going to leave you behind,” Holly calls from way up the trail. I’d been intentionally walking behind her, watching that cute ass of hers sway back and forth as we climbed the mountains near our new house.
After picking up my pace, I race up the volcanic rock and lift Holly from behind. We've been doing a lot of nature walks lately, and Holly’s right: it’s super relaxing.
This whole life is. Although there are times I miss the conveniences of the city, I don’t miss the crowds. And we can hike all afternoon here and not meet another soul. None of the tourists venture up here, and the locals are busy with real jobs during the day. Which means that it’s just Holly and me up on the peak of this m
ountain.
“What do you think?” Holly asks as we look out over the scenery. From this lookout point, it feels like we can see the whole ocean. Our house is just a little speck down below.
“It’s gorgeous,” I say, but I’m not talking about the scenery. I’m still holding Holly from behind, and I slip one hand down the front of her jean shorts.
“Here?” is all that Holly gets out. Any pre-packaged protests die away when I place two fingers over her clit and rub around softly, careful not to overdue it too fast. I lean forward so that our cheeks are touching. It’s in this way that I see her lick her lips at the same time that she widens her stance to give me more access.
As she grows wetter, I speed up. Her breaths match my pace, and soon she’s panting and moaning and pressing against my hand. I shift so that I can insert a finger inside her and this has her turn her head and envelope my lips with hers. She moans as I bring her to a shaking orgasm that leaves me having to hold her up.
When she finishes, she collapses on a large rock off to the side of the trail. She leans back, supporting her weight on her arms, and throws her head back. Basking in the sunshine like this, in the afterglow of a quickie, Holly has never looked so amazing. So carefree and natural.
I want to capture this moment and seal it up in a bottle for a rainy day. But that’s the great thing about Hawaii: we can have this every day, and we almost never have to worry about rain stopping us. And even if bad weather rolls in, we can hole up in our comfy house and watch the ocean roil while we watch movies, eat food, and find ways to entertain ourselves.
We still have jobs, but since I’m a financial consultant and Holly’s writing up articles completely online nowadays, our flexibility is basically infinite. So taking a hike like this right after lunch isn’t even something we have to consult our schedules over.
“It’s been a while since we’ve been to the city,” she says, he voice still a bit breathless.
“If you’re wondering if I miss it, the answer’s a resounding ‘no’.” I squat down in front of her and give her a kiss that she drags on longer than the peck I intended. “Not when this is the alternative.”
“I just meant that maybe it’s time to head to Honolulu. Stop by a supermarket and get that whiskey you keep saying you can’t find in any of the local stores.” She gives me that seductive smirk of hers. “Maybe stay the night at one of those fancy resorts.”
Just as I’m picturing her completely naked and splayed out on a king-sized bed, a bottle of champagne half finished on the table, Holly hops up and begins prancing back down the trail. She looks around, confirms that we’re alone, and then stops to turn back to me.
“We could eat at a nice restaurant instead of ordering out. Get a massage. All that jazz. And then you could have all this.” She lifts her shirt up and flashes me. It doesn’t matter that I see her nude every day; this instantly has me throbbing hard. “Unless you’re busy.”
I am decidedly not busy. I’ve never been less busy in my life.
And whereas my job was once my life, now it’s Holly. And as I chase her down the trail, watching that cute ass that will be all mine tonight, I know I made the right decision.
We went through some mighty storms to get here, but we finally found our paradise.
