The soft morning rain was soaking into my shirt as I made my customary morning jog through the neighborhood. The sun had just come over the horizon and combination of morning sun and water conspired to bring her memory back to me.
It was a similar morning when we created one of my favorite memories. Alys was a beautiful woman. She was full of life and lovely beyond words. The morning began with me gazing at her sleeping face before kissing her lightly on the cheek, rousing her from her slumber.
"Good morning beautiful" I sang to her when her eyes fluttered open. "I have a wonderfully exciting morning planned for us, you need to get up and get ready to go!"
"Mmmmmm, it's so early though" she responded.
"We need to be out and on the road before the sun comes up and that isn't much longer."
"Kiss me first" Alys demanded. I lowered my lips to hers and gently kissed her. Our kiss slowly increased in intensity as the passion of the night before began returning. I caressed her side and brought my hand up to firmly stroke her breasts. I could feel her nipples start to harden while our tongues began dancing together.
"Up, up" I said, backing away. "If we continue this we'll never get going!"
"Spoilsport" was Alys' response, followed by a lovely raspberry.
"Don't make me come in there after you with tickling fingers."
"Alright, peace, I'm going!"
We swiftly went about our morning rituals, touching and smiling the whole time. When the time came to get dressed I stopped Alys as she was picking out a pair of panties.
"You don't need those" I told her
"What? I thought we were going out."
"We are, but you don't need those. We're going to watch the sunrise on the beach, get your suit on instead."
"Oh, that's rather romantic of you, where did the sex starved lunatic I saw yesterday go?"
"He's still here, just you wait." I smiled at her before slipping my hand between Alys' legs as she stepped into her suit bottom. I could easily feel the she was damp when my fingers slid over her shaved mound.
"I thought we were going out!"
We eventually got our suits on and collected a pair of extra large beach towels before jumping into my pickup and heading to the beach. When we arrived the parking lot was empty and the sky was starting to lighten. We swiftly made our way down to the shoreline where we spread our towels out. We sat next to each other in the cool predawn light. Our hands were clasped and her head was resting on my shoulder. The feel of her body next to mine and the firm touch of her hand made me want to just cuddle forever.
The sun began to peak over the surface of the Pacific as we watched. The tropical plants around us began to take on more color under the rays of the sun. I can not remember having such a magical moment with someone so special before.
As the sun slipped higher into the sky I touched Alys' chin with my finger, turning her head towards me and lost myself in her kiss once more. The sun was much higher by the time I returned to myself and asked "care to jump in the water?"
"Sure" Alys said getting to her feet. "Last one in is a rotten egg!" Alys began running towards the water.
She made it there before I did but I exacted my revenge by wrapping my arms around her and carrying her deeper into the gentle surf.
"You're taller than me, I can't reach the bottom" Alys squeeled.
"Well, you should have thought of that before you let me capture you!"
"You villain" she said before grabbing my head and pulling it down to hers for another kiss. An indescribable time later I let go of Alys and we gently swam towards shallower water.
I lay on my back and started floating, bobbing gently up and down. Looking over at Alys I saw her take a deep breath and dive under the surface. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feel of the morning sun on my face.
Suddenly I felt a tug on my shorts and before I could recover they had be pulled all the way off my legs. I opened my eyes to find Alys grinning at me holding my shorts in her hands for a second before she started madly swimming towards shore.
I quickly took off after her yelling "hey, those are mine!"
