With everything in motion for the construction of our new house, Amber and I found ourselves hitting a rut of sorts. Spring had given way to summer and with it, the Florida heat had returned. During the week, she and I were pretty well occupied with work. Weeknights were more of the same; I'd make dinner, we'd spend the evenings watching TV and then go to sleep to do it all over again the next day. With the oppressive summer heat, we found ourselves going out less on the weekends. Instead of our golf outings and trips out to the farm, we found ourselves falling into a boring routine of doing chores and running errands. We still found time to enjoy each other but some of the spark seemed to have left us. I couldn't tell you the last time we did anything spontaneously on a weeknight and even our weekend sex was becoming routine and predictable.
Amber and I had discussed taking a vacation; but, we both wanted to save up our days off. With our house potentially being done around the end of the year, we wanted to have plenty of PTO banked up so that we could take time off and enjoy the process of moving into our new home. So, instead of going away on a long vacation, I decided to propose the next best thing.
While in college, I had worked random jobs in order to save up towards achieving a lifelong goal of mine. I had always been fascinated by aviation and had known since I was a little kid that I wanted to fly. To that end, I spent what I had saved on flying lessons. After a few months, I had earned my private pilot's license and then went for my instrument rating.
With those goals completed, I continued the pattern of saving up, then spending that savings on plane rentals. It absolutely isn't a cheap hobby but it's one that, once it's in your blood, there's nothing you can do but satisfy that urge to slip the bonds of gravity.
With a few hundred hours in my logbook, I considered myself to be a proficient pilot but knew that I was rusty having not been up since Amber and I had been together. Plus, I had a few currency checks that I needed to go through. So, one weeknight, after finishing dinner and getting cleaned up, Amber and I had been watching a baseball game. When it was over, as we did every night, we gathered up our things, shut off the lights and headed back to the bedroom. After each of us had brushed our teeth and gotten in bed, I spoke up, "Hey, I've got an idea."
Turning her head towards me, Amber gave me a dubious look and asked, "Is this idea of yours going to require me to get undressed?"
I just chuckled and said, "No, but I was thinking of something we could do this weekend. You'll probably want to get undressed then."
With a smile, Amber jokingly said, "Sure, I'll get undressed for you this weekend. What'd you want to do to me?"
Reaching over and playfully rubbing her breast through her t-shirt, I said, "Well that depends. What did you want me to do to you?"
Laughing at my attempt to distract her, Amber shook her head and said, "No, I want to hear your idea first."
Teasing her breast a little more intently, I kissed her neck and said, "How about we take a trip after all? I was thinking; we've got plenty of time built up. Let's take Monday off and make a long weekend away, just you and me."
Interested, Amber simply asked, "Oh? And where would we go for this weekend away?"
With a nervous laugh, I said, "Well... I was thinking that after work this week, I'd go over to the airport and get current again. Then I dunno... how does spending a few nights in the Keys sound?"
Continuing to caress her breast, I anxiously awaited her response. Suppressing a whimper as I teased across her nipple, Amber stifled a laugh and, clearly excited, asked, "We can do that?"
With a laugh of my own, I said, "Sure. That's kind of the whole point of having the license." Then kissing her again on her neck, I added, "It's also one of the benefits of being married to a pilot."
Amber laughed again and said, "Yeah, I mean, that sounds awesome. How much does something like that cost?"
Trying to avoid the question, I said, "Ehh... you sure you want to know?"
Relaxing as I switched over and played with her other breast, Amber sighed and said, "Nah. I know it's something you love doing. And I know we've been too busy lately. Sure, go do it this week and then absolutely, that sounds awesome!"
When she turned her head towards me, I kissed her and said, "Thanks, babe."
Amber just looked at me and asked, "Is that all?"
With a shrug, I said, "What? I didn't think you wanted to have to take your clothes off."
Biting her lower lip, Amber shrugged and said, "Well, that was before you played with my tits and told me you were whisking me away for an adventure this weekend."
Leaning over and kissing me again, she sighed and whispered, "Now I want to fuck."
Reaching over and starting to pull up her shirt, I said, "Well, you're gonna have to get undressed for that."
Laughing again as her shirt came off over her head, Amber shrugged and said, "I mean, I was going to have to get undressed in the morning anyways. Now I can sleep in another minute."
Cupping her breast in my hand, I gave it a gentle squeeze. As it filled my hand, I caressed her soft, smooth skin. Bending over and kissing the top of her chest, I commented, "I might not be the longest lasting guy on Earth but I think this is going to take longer than a minute. You sure you wanna do this? It'll be a net loss in the sleep column."
Reaching down and teasing her fingers up the front of my shorts, she said, "Well, I guess we better make it worth our time."
Kissing down towards her nipple, I chuckled and replied, "Has it ever not been worth your time?"
Amber reached down and pulled my head up. Looking me in the eyes, she just smiled and shook her head. Then with a wink, she seductively said, "No... there's nothing I enjoy more than having sex with you. I'm sorry if things have been a little off lately."
I just smiled and gave her a little shrug. Then leaning back down and teasing the tip of my tongue around her nipple, I said, "It's ok. It's nothing that a weekend away can't fix."
Exhaling as my tongue flicked across her nipple, Amber just sighed, "No, we start fixing that now."
Amber relaxed back onto her pillow. Softly moaning as I kissed across to her other nipple, she brushed her hair behind her ears and softly said, "I don't care when we get to sleep. Just take your time. I'm going to enjoy this."
Smiling as I flicked my tongue across her other nipple, I reached up and took her breasts in my hands. While I gently massaged and caressed her chest, Amber reached over and teased her fingers back across the front of my shorts. When she felt my still-flaccid penis, I let out a long, low moan as she reached down and took my dangling balls in her hand. Amber looked down and watched as, while she massaged my scrotum, a prominent bulge formed at the front of my shorts. Looking up at me with a playful smile, she just winked and said, "That's better," before lying back on her pillow.
Taking my shirt off, I tossed it aside before slipping out of my shorts. Amber lifted up the sheet. Peeking underneath and seeing my naked, aroused body, she just smiled at me before lying back again.
Lying down next to her, I went back to just lightly rubbing my hand across her chest. As my palm transitioned from her warm, smooth skin to her hardened nipples, Amber tilted her head back and softly moaned. She winced and then groaned, "Oh yeah..." when I teased her nipples between my fingers.
After giving one a gentle little tug, I rubbed my hand down across her soft but sexy belly. Teasing my fingertips down across her waistline, I then rubbed and then massaged from her hips up her sides. After massaging the sides of her chest, I brushed my hands back across her chest and then down her belly again. With my fingertips tracing out a line under her waistband, I asked, "Should I keep going or do you want me to massage your feet first?"
Amber just smiled at me and said, "Can I get the foot massage after?"
Moving my hand down to the inside of her shapely thigh, I just shrugged and said, "You can have whatever you want."
Biting her lower lip, Amber sighed, "Mmm, anything?"
Teasing my fingertips up inside the leg of her shorts, I just nodded my head to the side and said, "Sure, just say the word."
