In the Jeep, the happy, very satisfied couple enjoyed getting to know one another even more. They talked about where they grew up, jobs they have had, pets they had owned. The drive was to the outer skirts of town. They drove past the hotels and homes as they rolled away from the coastline. She saw the tiny airport where she had landed a short day and a half earlier. So much had happened to her in a few short hours. Her head reeled with emotions. She felt so much but didn't know how she felt at the same time. The rugged, yet gentle man sitting in the driver's seat seemed too good to be true. Something in her was deeply attracted to him but not simply because of his sex appeal.
The salty, musty smell of the marshes flooded her senses as they drove in the open air. Spanish moss suspended beautifully in the massive oak tress that lined the roads. Snowy egrets walked the branches eyeing them curiously as the wind blew her shoulder length hair around. She decided to put it in a hair tie and create a tight, short ponytail. Gabe glanced over to see her bare neck, how it sloped into her shoulders. He gazed at her cute ears. She looked back and smiled. His eyes traced her body under the lacy swimsuit cover up that adorned her gracefully. The black and white one piece she had chosen to kayak in, fit her nicely. He eyed how the curves of her tits looked so round and smooth. Her hips sexily poured from the suit and he traced them with his eyes down to her cute knees, her tight, muscular calves and feminine ankles to simple, girly flip flops. His lust must have been quite visible.
"What?" She asked above the sound of the roar of the tires and wind.
Gabe raised one eye brow and let one side of his lips curl into a sideways smile. He just shook his head back and forth and turned to look back at the road as he felt his tires slipping over the shoulder into the grass. It startled Katiya and she jumped.
"You distract me greatly!" He excused himself for the reckless driving as he corrected back into the road. "Anyway, I got that snake!"
Katiya just nodded as she studied him as he drove.
They drove out a bit further in silence, until he slowed and turned onto a soft, sandy drive. She looked curiously at him.
"I have to run by the house. Gotta let the dog out for a sec and grab the kayaks. I wanna change into some of my own swim trunks as well. You don't mind do you?" He asked.
"Hmm" She thought. As she shook her head to signal no. "I'll have the chance to really see what he is about."
They pulled up to a relatively simple, quaint beach home. It was a single level place with minor landscaping additions. There were two trucks in the driveway. A large barn was off to the right back side of the back yard. Firewood stacked against the side of the barn, looked as if it had a few layers of age to it. She couldn't imagine him burning many fires down here on the beach.
"Wanna come in or shall I leave the Air Conditioning running for you?" He asked with a smirk.
"I'll wait. I don't want to impose." She answered him calmly.
The front door opened and out popped a young looking, burly guy wearing shorts, flip flops and no shirt. He had lots of tattoos. A big smile spread across his face. "What's up Unc?" He blared. "Where ya been? I thought you got lost at sea or somethin'!"
"S'goin' on kiddo?" Gabe said at a much lower decibel level. He turned quickly back to Katiya. "Katiya, Billy, my nephew, Billy, Katiya!" as he trotted up toward the door and hopped both steps on to the porch.
"Don't believe anything he tells you!" Gabe shouted while disappearing through the door.
The young man, without losing his smile, stuck out his hand to greet her. He laughed gently and she could see some resemblance in his face.
"You must not be from around here." Billy said.
Katiya smiled and shook her head no. He shook her hand firmly.
"How did you know that?" She pried.
"There just aren't many gals around here as pretty as you." Billy answered back confidently.
"I doubt that!" Katiya said while laughing, "But, thank you all the same." she couldn't break his gaze from her. He stared at her intensely. "Do you live here with Gabe?"
"Aww.. Yeah, ever since his divorce, I been hangin' out here." He said in a southern drawl. "Somebody's gotta take care of the old man!"
"I heard that!" Gabe shouted as he came out of the front door with a big yellow Labrador Retriever following him. "Katiya, meet Wilson. He actually owns the place, Billy and I just hang out here with him."
"Heeeyyyyy big boy!" Katiya leaned out her open side of the Jeep as Wilson put his front feet on the edge of where the door is supposed to be and reached in to give her the once over with his nose. She petted him and he seemed to love her immediately.
"Well, he approves." Billy laughed, "I approve." He added "I guess you're in chick." He said to Katiya.
Stunned, she looked back and forth at Billy, then Gabe then the dog. They all seemed to be staring at her and smiling. "Chick?" She asked.
Gabe had changed shorts and apparently put on more cologne. He asked Billy to help him grab the kayaks and they went around the corner of the house.
"I have to use the restroom, do you mind Gabe?" Katiya said as she hopped out of the Jeep and Wilson grabbed a stick and brought it to her. She took it from him and gave it a toss and he bolted after it.
"Of course, mi casa is su casa!" he said as he came back around with a kayak over his head. His muscles flexed and shone in the sun. His grin showed his white teeth and she couldn't help but get caught up for a second, taking in the visual. There was just something about him and she was filled with lust for the moment.
"How could you still be horny?" She asked herself under her breath. "Damn, just look at him though girl..that's how." She stepped into the house.
Simple but nice. She made her way around until she found the bathroom. It was clean. The whole house was clean.
"Nice, and it smells good in here." She thought. "This guy... Mmmm."
When she returned he was sitting in the Jeep. The kayaks were strapped to the top and Wilson sat proudly in the back seat.
She looked at the dog strangely. Her eyebrows raised up in question.
"He said he wanted to go." Gabe said explaining. "Is it ok with you?"
Katiya shrugged her shoulders and hopped in sliding into the seat and buckling up. Gabe knuckle bumped his nephew who was still kind of staring her and grinning.
"You two kids have fun!" He shouted at them as Gabe backed the Jeep up and turned to leave. "Hey Unc, you're right, she's hot!" He chided as he threw up his hand and waved at them, turning to head back to the house.
Katiya flushed with slight embarrassment as Gabe just rolled his eyes and shook his head, smiling. "Gee-wizz." Gabe said quietly.
He popped the clutch a little and the tires spun in the sandy dirt launching the Jeep forward a little.
Katiya grabbed the handle above her head and squealed a little. Wilson braced himself in the back seat and they sped out of the driveway.
The quiet drive was nice. The scent of the salty marsh was overwhelming as it mixed nicely with his fresh cologne. She looked all around but really only wanted to stare at him. He drove with his left foot up on the side of the door hole where the door would be normally be if there were doors on the Jeep. She traced the inside of his masculine thigh down to the crotch of his shorts that hugged his manliness well. She thought of leaning over and pulling it out and sucking it while going down the road. She decided she shouldn't but imagined it and smiled to herself. Gabe caught the sudden smile and eyed her carefully, wondering what was going on in her mind.
Fifteen minutes went by without a word and he pulled off the road down the drive to where they would put in. A short few minutes and he had one long kayak off the Jeep.
"Do you want to double up or paddle alone?" He asked.
"Whatever you want. I'm game either way." She answered quickly.
"Well, there's room here in the middle for Wilson. Let's just take the one." With that, he leaned over, pulled her close to him and kissed her slowly, romantically. When she opened her eyes he was staring at her. Her mouth hung slightly open and she breathed out heavily. Her heart thumped inside her chest. He could have whatever he wanted at that moment.
"You just needed to get that out of the way, again?" She asked as she smirked in his direction.
"Something like that." He quipped.
They hopped in, Wilson laid down between them as he was told to do and they slipped off into a grassy wonderland of salt-marsh. For two hours they paddled. They saw fish swimming and swirling all around. They saw crabs scurrying across the mud flats. They saw a family of raccoon for a few seconds. She was amazed at it all, but the birds, the birds of all kinds were simply everywhere. Gabe seemed to know something about almost all of them.
They made their way around a bend and there was a dock that seemed to come from nowhere. It had a wooden walk that came out across the marsh-grass from the woods nearby. Gabe steered them to the side of the dock.
"Wanna stretch your legs?" He asked.
It was exactly what she wanted to do. They pulled up and he held the dock while she stepped from atop the long, flat two person kayak. Wilson Followed her and Gabe tied his end to the side of the dock and stood. He pulled a large rubber bag from in back of his seat that he had lashed there earlier. From within, he produced a blanket, a small basket, two glasses, and a large thermos. He spread the blanket on the dock surface and opened the basket. There was cheese, crackers, cookies, and a couple chocolate bars.
