Third Date
It's a date. In fact, our third date.
We met online, the modern dating method of finding compatibility. Turns out that we both live in the same city; San Francisco, city by the bay. Cold winters, even colder summers. The fog envelops the city, keeping it cool in the Summer. In Winter, the jet stream brings cold air and bad weather down from Alaska. We agree to meet, perhaps taking things to the next level.
There seems to be a chemistry between us. The first two dates went well. Classic first date - dinner and then new movie - "Supernatural:Revenge of Crowley". Night ended with a kiss on the cheek. You turned at the last second or it would have been on the lips. Jensen Ackles makes you hot. I make you hotter, but it's too soon.
Second date - drinks at a local brewpub. I picked you up at 6pm, so you didn't have to drive. I suggested you try the chocolate peppermint stout. It tastes like a luscious sundae in your mouth. Creamy, smooth, chocolaty, minty. We talk for hours about life, the universe, everything. I ask them to make you your favorite pizza - a personal hot wing pizza - hold the wings. We don't notice the place is closing. Finally they kick us out. Oops - sorry :D We apologize as we scoot out the door.
I drive you back to your apartment. I open your car door for you. I walk you to your door. Dying for a kiss. My hand is shaking a bit as I lean in and brush the hair from your face. I hesitate for only a moment, then kiss you softly. Lingering on your lips. Wanting you to kiss me back. We kiss for an eternity. I move my hand down your body, pull your blouse out of your skirt, and slowly reach up underneath. Sliding my hand up your stomach, hand on your bra. Gently feeling the heat of your breast. You giggle and push me gently back. "It's late and I have to work in the morning". Denied again, sigh.
But this... This is the third date.
You agreed to an overnight fishing trip in the mountains near Yosemite. Sierra Foothills, Mining towns and pine trees. Gentle breezes, quiet solitude. Secluded camping spot on the California/Nevada border. We take the truck to make a couple of the stream crossings easier. Easier to bring in wood, fishing poles, coolers.
It's a long drive, so I pick you up early; 4am. You answer the door still sleepy eyed, I watch you throw your hair into a quick pony tail. Fresh out of bed and sleepy eyed. You look so innocent and beautiful. so warm and inviting, eyes gleaming, future looming, so alive.
We drive through California, starting at the beaches where we live, driving past the rolling hills, into the foothills, past the mining towns, into the mountains. You feel safe enough to sleep most of the way. I watch over you. Watch over you sleeping. Watching your chest rise and fall. Watching you dream. Making sure you feel safe and warm. You wake after a time. I put my hand on your leg and motion you closer.
You move into me, up close against me. Our hands in each other's laps.
We finally arrive at the campsite. The site borders on the lake. We're on the east side of the lake by design. I'm hoping that this location, watching the sun set across the lake, alone with me, might help to break down your barriers. You're no city girl. You help unload the truck. You help setup camp. Gather kindling for the fire; rocks for the fire ring. I setup the tent by myself and watch you work at the same time. Shit, I should let you do all the work. You are a pro. Organized and woods smart. You catch me watching you bend over while getting rocks and grin at me. I raise an eyebrow and grin back. Smiling in anticipation of the night to come.
It's afternoon now. Not prime fishing time, but that was our excuse for coming, so why not give it a shot.
We walk a short 20 yards over to what looks like a prime fishing spot. There's a tree a few feet from the water. The sound of the water gently lapping at the shore is the only sound around.
I sit down and lean back against the tree. "Come sit here with me", I tell you. I open my legs so you can sit between them. You look at me like I'm being pervy, but sit down anyhow, kneeling in front of me. I lean forward and grab your waist, pulling you into me so that we are both facing forward. Sitting cheek to cheek, my chin on your shoulder. "Let's bait the hooks and do a bit of fishing". "Nonononononononno" you say. "I can't stand to see the worms suffer."
"Here sweety, I'll help you." "It will be as quick and painless as we can make it."
I take out a worm, brown and wriggling and place it in your hand. My hands around your hands, guiding them into baiting the hook. Our bodies are so close together, our faces next to each other.
You cast your worm into the lake, and it falls with a plop. Bobber keeping the worm at just the right depth. I cast mine, just a few feet to the right of yours. Our bobbers, floating just feet apart. Our bodies snuggling together as the sun sets.
We occasionally reel in our lines and re-bait. I use every excuse I can think of to keep touching you - your hands as we bait the hook, your arms as you let me show you how to cast - though we both can tell you are a better caster than me. You let me feel like I'm teaching you something. And you still squeal a bit every time we put a worm on a hook. I can tell you really feel bad about it.
I kiss your cheek playfully each time we bait a hook - to hopefully make you feel a bit better. The last cast of the day and you turn at the last second and instead of kissing your cheek, our lips brush together.
Tingling, soft lips, I moan audibly. Then realize that I've moaned and awkwardly back away. "Um, sorry?" I tell you while blushing.
"Shaddap you fool, kiss me again", you murmur.
I lean further into you, grabbing your waist and pull you in to me. Rubbing the side of your ribcage, eager to go higher, go further, to touch you. Oh god, my hand is right there below your breast, I can feel the top of it rubbing against my hand, soft, warm and inviting.
You break off the kiss, pushing me back a little.
"That was nice Thunder, but I'm getting a bit hungry. You say you are some kind of cook - so let's see it...What's on the menu for tonite?"
"Tonite my dear I made you something special! We have Juicy Lucy burgers, which is your basic ground chuck mixed with a generous amount of sharp cheddar cheese, then formed into patties, and the standard toppings of bacon, lettuce, tomato, sauteed mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, and a bit of sour cream on top to make it good. I'll toast the buttered buns over the fire, then I'll butter your buns..."
"What?"
"Oh nothing, we'll then have a small greek salad with kalamata olives, feta cheese, lettuce, and artichoke hearts. And to finish we'll have chocolate eclairs. To drink we have Smirnoff Cherry Lime and Apple Bite - but the Apple Bite is mine!"
The burgers sizzle over the fire, getting a hint of smoke. The buns toast, the salad is made, and I serve you my ingenious creation. It is soo good. Hot and juicy, smoky, and the juice runs down your chin and into your fingers. I watch you lick the juice from your fingers. You notice me watching you and you smile, and slow down your movements. Slow motion, letting your tongue dance on the end of your fingers. Licking every moist drop. Looking into my eyes as you perform this erotic tongue manuever. I can feel my pants getting tighter. The fire flickering in your eyes, and your tight sweater, showing every curve make me think things. Bad things. Dirty things. That's the second time today you've made me want you so bad it hurts. Not sure if I'll be able to stand a third time.
We drink and eat and talk about our dreams, hopes, desires, successes, and failures. We have a logical and fact based discussion of Ford vs Chevy. Chevy wins, and I realize you are much smarter than I am. Your arguments are flawless, and your conclusions, inescapable.
Smarter maybe, but not necessarily in control.
We eat our eclairs, across each other from the fire. You continue to use your tongue to arouse me, and amuse yourself. You can see my reaction to your tongue guided eclair cream extraction. My bulge rising. Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see me? You get a twinkle in your eye as you finish the last bit of luscious cream.
Grinning mischievously, "Thunder, that was sooooo goooood. How can I ever pay you back......?"
I tell you, "Come over here and I'll show you...."
"Nononononon, you come over here"
"If I have to go over there, you are gonna be sooooorrrrrryyyyyyyyy", I say in a singsong voice.
You get a little pissy, and tell me, "C'mon Thun, are you afraid?"
I say to myself, "bitch I ain't afraid of nothing", but keep it cool and stare you down as I walk over to you in the dark, by the fire.
Once there, next to you, close to you, I move in to you, but don't touch you with my lips. My left hand strokes your hair, my right thumb on your cheek, fingers on the back of your head.
Quick as lightning, I grab your hair and pull your head back while at the same time grasping your throat with my right hand.
"I told you you'd be sorry....."
I can see the fear in your eyes as you struggle to breathe. I can feel your heart beating in your throat. I squeeze tight, choking you. You grab my hand, desperate for air, trying to rip my hand away from your throat.
