Author's Note: Another section of my writing tribute to my friend and fellow Litster. There will be several segments of this, and they are written in chronological order, so it would be best to read them in order. I hope you enjoy it!
After FINALLY getting out of the cabin (It's your fault! You're just too sexy to take my hands off of!), I take you for a drive through the mountains, showing off our version of paradise. We drive through the loop in Cades Cove, where you get to see deer, turkeys, horses, a thoroughly disinterested coyote...and a black bear. Even from inside the Beast, you're a bit anxious, and your little mini-shriek when I try to call the bear closer is highly amusing to me. (They don't REALLY answer to "Yo! Bear! Come here!", and I'm pretty sure you know that, but...). Then we cruise down into Gatlinburg to have dinner. We take a little stroll along the main drag, in and out of the little shops, then slide into Crawdaddy's so I can introduce you to Cajun food (Well, it's not REAL Cajun, but it's pretty close for being several hundred miles from Louisiana.) It's not quite dark as we head back to Townsend, but then I know the roads ahead of us, so I want to get us home.
These roads, which cut back through the park, are beautiful during daylight, but even then, a driver has to keep his or her attention on the road. They aren't narrow, but occasionally a rock or a tree may fall and block part of the road until the Park Service gets out to clear it. They wind and climb and dip around the mountains, and streams often run along the side. At some points, the drop off is steep on one side, and on the other side, the mountains climb straight up, a stony face not a foot from the side of the road. At least it's not winter time, so there's no ice to contend with.
That means I don't get to put my hand over on your leg as much as I enjoyed doing all day, caressing your soft thigh, stroking a finger here and there...maybe wandering a bit higher on the straighter sections of road. I smile to myself, as the darkness grows, remembering your gasp as I slid my hand ALL the way up at one point, stroking over your panties for a few moments before that hand had to retreat to the steering wheel. I edged close a couple more times as we drove, but kept stopping just short of the treasure zone. I couldn't tell if you were relieved or frustrated; maybe both?
But now, winding our way back to Townsend, those moments are brought back to me. Mainly, because now I feel YOUR hand on MY thigh. I can only steal a moment's glance over at you, but that moment tells me in trouble, because that mischievous smile tells me trouble is afoot. Or should I say "aleg?"
