Mary kissed me saying "It was amazing, I am glad you didn't stop, this was different, enjoyable and fun. I felt deeper love for you than I ever have Ken."
We fell asleep holding each other sexually exhausted. We were falling deeper and deeper in love with each other; it just clicked. For this woman, I needed to take care of everything.

Our love towards each other continued to grow by leaps and bounds. We started studying together; she was helping me with advanced Accounting. I was assisting with her Sociology and Humanities. It was effortless spending time together and we simply enjoying life. Mary and I could see the end of our junior year at University of Maryland.
In April we celebrated Mary's twenty-first birthday and my twenty-seventh birthday. I was the old guy of the group and this really never bothered Mary. She was excited as was I to know that we only had one more year until we graduated and would start our lives as professionals.
Mary was hinting about the long term. Me? I was focused on finishing my education and then stability in life and in my financial wellbeing.
We continued dating and hanging out with Dave and Shelly, most of the time we just enjoyed different restaurants and bars. They had become really close friends. Dave and I as well as Mary and Shelly had so much in common. The love of the outdoors, sports, our fields of study were different but we clicked. Dave was studying Engineering; Shelly was Nursing, Mary Finance, and me of course IT. We also enjoyed the typical college antics of friends.
Over the past weeks, Mary, Shelley, Dave, and I had been discussing an "after finals" summer getaway. We all listed the pros and cons of where to go and what to do on our budgets. Shelly shared that she wasn't able to be away for too long with her entering her senior year as a nursing student and it would be demanding.
I needed to share with Mary, there are times my background and military experience kicks in and I tend to take control of things and become suggestive or guided others in what to do. This wasn't only with our little group, but in class projects, or in other organized or unorganized events.
I am a few years older than Mary, my friends, and classmates who all typically went to college right out of high school as I had spent three years in the Army. My friends and classmates admittedly looked at me at times as a decision maker.
We discussed many options but because of our proximity, our love of Shelly, and budget, we decided on a trip to Assateague Island State Park and Campground. It would only be about a three and a half hour drive.
I had some money saved up from when I was in the Army. I told them I would handle the costs of a week-long trip making the reservations soon. As a group, we decided that Dave and I would take care of the camping gear. Mary and Shelly would handle the food and drinks. We had five weeks until finals and then we would spend a few nice relaxing days away from reality.
We celebrated with finals completed and the summer ahead of us. We planned on meeting at my apartment Friday evening for a cookout. Everyone would crash at my place before we headed out Saturday morning. The timing of it all would work out well as Dave and Shelly needed some time to get moved out of the dorms for the summer.
By late Friday afternoon, Mary I had packed my Blazer with gear and the supplies that she and Shelly purchased. We decided to take a break because of the late afternoon heat. We stepped back into the apartment, I was again totally captivated and entranced by the sight of Mary as she walked in. Mary sat down on the couch as I grabbed us glasses of water.
When I approached her and offered her the water, her eyes met mine. It was if that is all I would ever need to see. Her beauty, smile, and looks left nothing more to be desired. Maybe it was a combination of the afternoon heat, or from exhaustion of packing, maybe it was from the memories of last night's love making session, but I smiled, dropped to my knees in front of her, leaned forward and kissed her deeply.
I broke the kiss and said. "Mary seeing you here with me in this moment is as if I never want it to stop. I want you to be mine, one day, I am going to make you mine, and we will be one."
I stood and moved onto the couch next to her. As we started kissing I could tell Mary was on fire! We were kissing with a passion like never before. Mary lifted her leg positioning herself with one leg on each side of me, sitting on my lap. Kissing me deeper, she started rocking back and forth grinding her crotch against me. After a few minutes, our kiss broke. Mary held my face gently in her hands as she looked deep into my eyes.
"Ken, I want you, to have me, to make me yours and yours alone. It is my true and one desire." She paused, "But there is something I need to show you."
With that said, Mary slowly kissed my lips, and then removed her shirt and bra. She gracefully slid down off of the couch kneeling on the floor. Kneeling in front of me, Mary proceeded to unbutton my jeans pulling them down exposing my semi hardening cock.
What Mary did next can only be described as a combination of pure love, lust, passion and utter desire to please me. Mary made love to my throbbing cock with her hands, mouth, tongue and breasts and was only totally focused on my pleasure. This woman was certainly becoming not only the sexual part of my life, but the love of my life.
I came hard finishing in her mouth; I lovingly pulled Mary up and into a position sitting on me again. Holding her in my arms and kissing her while tasting myself, I realized that she had just given herself to me, heart, body, mind and soul.
The knock on the door brought us out of our daydream slumber.
"Hang on, I am topless, don't come in yet." I yelled.
Slapping me playfully, Mary grabbed her top as I pulled my jeans on, Mary ran to open the door letting Dave and Shelly in. We welcomed them in as the excitement grew for our trip.
It wasn't until part way through the evening as we sat outside at the picnic table that I realized that Mary, the little minx, never put her bra back on. As I was rubbing her back, she looked at me, smiled and winked.
"Is there something wrong babe?" She asked.
I shook my head no and slid my hand around her side resting it against the side of her bountiful breast.
Her sexuality was really growing on me.

At what is usually described O'Dark 30, the four of us took to the road. About ten miles into the drive, Dave bellowed from the back seat, something about coffee. With it being dark still and I couldn't see his face in the rearview mirror.
I replied to whoever heard, "My beautiful, amazing and one day bride-to-be, has taken care of that for me; obviously yours didn't. I am willing to share ... the coffee that is; not my baby."
I started laughing. There was a loud gasp and then a silence in my Blazer. I looked over towards Mary, again, it was dark and I wasn't able to see her face clearly.
"What? What's wrong babe?" I inquired.
I heard in a slightly quivering voice Mary say, "Bride-to-be? Really?"
Looking back at the road and being as careful as I could be, I reached for her hand, finding it, I pulled it to my lips kissing her hand I said.
"Absolutely my dear."
From the backseat I heard shrieks of joy from Shelly. I thought to myself; chalk one up for the good guys.
I saw the roadside sign for a 7-11 at the next exit. I pulled off so we could satisfy the needs for a bathroom and for coffee. I barely had my Blazer parked and shut off when Mary seemingly flew from her seat, over the console and almost onto my lap, her arms outstretched and wrapping around my neck.
"Ken" she kissed my lips gently.
"Yes dear?"
Dave and Shelly had exited and the dome light above allowed me to see the tears in her eyes and the smile on her face. Her lips connected in short sweet soft kisses all the while she was murmuring her love to me as well.
As she broke our kiss, she asked "Are you serious? No joking?"
"I am as serious as the greatest love stories ever. I swear Mary as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, and as certain as the sun will rise over us tomorrow and the moon shines tonight."
Kissing her once more, then rubbing her nose against mine while looking deep in her eyes.
"One day when I can afford the ring you deserve, you will be my fiancée and then shortly after that my beautiful bride." I kissed her lips once more, "Now let's get some coffee!"
With coffee for Dave and my refill, we headed south with College Park well in our rearview mirror. When we made the turn and headed south on Route 50, I thought I heard a rustling noise in the back seat. As I looked back, Mary drew my attention and whispered in my ear.
"Stop, eyes forward, don't pay any attention to what is happening back there, just drive you will be rewarded later."
Thinking nothing more of it, and with the wink I got from Mary, I continued on with my task. When the sun rose we moved on with continued conversation as I drove, Mary holding my right hand as much as possible. Her head mostly curled up leaning on my shoulder. As was normal with me just spending time with Mary brought happiness and peace to me.
We arrived at the campground check-in desk. This was it for me. I hesitated getting out of the Blazer. She looked at me and smiled.
"They saw it in the store. I have told them a tiny bit but nothing like you shared. It will be okay."
I opened my door and made my way out of the Blazer. We checked in with the grounds manager and I assured them I didn't need any special assistance or parking. My voice was rather gruff; Mary just squeezed my hand and smiled.
We made our way to our site and started settling in for a few days of relaxation and enjoyment. There was a constant smirk on Shelly's face when I looked at her and Dave seemed to be just as happy as could be. I hope my reward as promised would be a good one.
Dave and Shelly then Mary and I as couples separated and started getting our home away from home set up. We set our tent sites up with the tent openings facing the fire pit which is centered in the camp site. This allowed us to enjoy the romance of a burning and crackling fire as each lover enjoyed the time with each other.
As the mid afternoon sun shone down on us, Shelly and Mary had set up some light snacks as Dave and I finished arranging the camp with a shade tarp. We had really looked at the weather but just in case any unexpected rain decided to arrive, we had some additional shelter.
The ladies, dressed in as little as possible, took their seats on the chase lounge chairs and Dave and I started a fire. After a few minutes, Mary stood up and grabbed my hand pulling me to my feet announcing that we were going to take a walk. We wandered off down a trail nearby walking deeper into the woods.
Mary was easily ahead of me. "Hey! Easy there, speedy, I need to navigate the trail."
