When William arrived at Arlene's house, he found her looking puzzled and a bit concerned. She was dressed and ready to go and had two suitcases sitting just inside the door, too.
"You look radiant, Arlene," William said. He picked up her suitcases and started for the car. "I think I better get these in the car."
Arlene blushed at William's compliment. "Th...thank you, William," she said as she followed him outside.
William put the bags in the car's trunk, then he closed it and turned to Arlene. "Are you ready to leave?" he asked.
"I-I guess so," Arlene replied. "But...but William, where...where are we going? And why?"
"I'm taking you someplace where you will be safe," William told her.
He held the car door open and Arlene slid in. He went around, got in the car on the driver's side. He started the engine and drove away from Arlene's house.
As they rolled down the street, Arlene looked across the front seat at William. "What do you mean we'll be safe? William, what are you talking about? Where are we going?" she asked.
"I'm taking you to my family's lodge in the mountains," William replied, "Your ex-husband won't be able to find you there."
"Why...why would I be in danger from my ex-husband?" she asked. "William, what's going on?"
"I reported what he tried to do to the police," William told her. "The officer I spoke to suggested that it might be good if I took measures to ensure your safety until the matter is resolved."
Arlene's eyes widened and she went pale. "You did what?" she asked, shocked.
"I reported his blackmail attempt to the police," William said. "I couldn't do anything else. You have to understand, Arlene, I didn't do it because I was trying to protect myself. I simply could not allow him to continue harming you. That's why I'm taking you away for a time. I want you to be safe until the police apprehend him."
"But William, we can't hide forever," Arlene exclaimed, "And when we come back, Mel, he..."
"He won't be around when we come back," he replied. "The police officer I spoke to seemed quite sure your ex-husband would be in jail before too long. And that he would be staying in jail for a considerable length of time."
Arlene tried to comprehend what William was saying. As she did, another thought occurred to her. "But what about...about your parents?" she asked. "If there's a trial, they'll find out about you and me and..."
William looked over at her and smiled. "I no longer care whether my parents find out about us, Arlene," William replied. "I think it's about time I start acting like an adult, with a mind of my own. I love you, Arlene. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. I intend to spend the rest of my life with you, so I would have had to tell them about you sooner or later."
When the true meaning of what William said sank in, Arlene was almost overcome with emotion. "Oh, William," she said. Tears filled her eyes and she laid her hand lightly on his arm.
"Meanwhile, while we're at the lodge, we can spend time some together and enjoy ourselves," William said. "For the next week or so, we can sleep late, hike, go swimming, and go fishing."
"Swimming?" Arlene said. "I-I can't go swimming."
"Why not?" William asked. "Can't you swim?"
"That's not it," Arlene said. "I-I didn't bring a swimming suit."
William smiled at her and winked. "You don't need a suit," he said. "The lodge is in a very isolated area."
"Oh," Arlene replied.
Both of them were quiet for a while as they continued. Arlene found herself relaxing as Jamestown - and Mel Ott - fell farther and farther behind them.
"I'm glad you called the police, William," she said after a while. "I'm glad you did something to stop Mel."
"I should have beaten him silly!" William said. "The man deserves to be thrashed within an inch of his life!" He glanced over at Arlene. "He is never, ever, going to threaten you again. I wish I-I wish I had courage enough..."
Arlene laid her hand on his arm. "I-I'm glad you didn't try that, William," she said. "Mel's a bully. You aren't like him. I...that's why I love you."
Two hours later William drove through a small rural town. A few miles past the town, he turned onto a dirt road and continued to the end of it. There, a long distance from any other habitation, sat the Atherton lodge.
Arlene, stunned, looked around at the building in front of the car. "William, this is gorgeous!" she said when they got out of the car.
William took her hand and they walked around to the back of the lodge. She saw the lovely little lake that lay at the bottom of a gentle slope in front of the cabin. It was beautiful, an idyllic setting.
"There it is," William said. "We own all of the land around the lake, several hundred acres, so we have all the privacy we'll need."
They carried all of their things inside. Arlene was as impressed by the interior of the building as she was by the outside. The two-story house William called a "lodge," was made of real logs. It was looked rustic, but it was quite luxurious. The large kitchen was filled with modern appliances and the furniture in the living room looked expensive, but comfortable.
"I think we'll be able to manage for a week or two, don't you?" William said. "We have all the comforts of home. Why don't we get settled in? The bedroom's upstairs on the left. If you want, you can go up and put your things away. I'll put the food in the refrigerator while you do that."
Arlene headed up stairs to the bedroom. She discovered it was every bit as sumptuous as the downstairs was. After she finished unpacking, she had an idea. She took off her clothes and laid down on the bed.
"William, can you come up here for a minute?" she called.
"I'll be right up," he replied.
Arlene lay on the bed, nude, filled with anticipation. She heard William's footsteps as he came up the stairs, then he was standing in the bedroom doorway. His eyes widened when he saw Arlene.
"My God!" William said reverently as he gazed at the lovely nude woman lying on the bed. His heart pounding, he walked stiff-legged across the bedroom, toward the bed. His eyes roamed over Arlene's lovely bare body and he swallowed hard. His mouth opened and he licked his lips.
"Do you like what you see, William?" Arlene asked.
"God! Yes!" William whispered, his heart thudding. He felt as if he might never be able to breathe properly again. Before him, on the bed, was the most extraordinarily lovely sight he'd ever seen.
"Let's get your clothes off, too," Arlene said. She rose from the bed and stood next to William, whose breath continued to rasp through lust-constricted breathing passages as his chest moved in and out.
Arlene began to remove her lover's clothes. His shirt came off first, then his T-shirt. Next came his slacks, and underwear. Then she had him sit down and took off his shoes and socks. She really liked doing this, being William's willing love-slave.
Arlene turned and hefted William's erecting cock in her hand. "This is magnificent, William!" she murmured. While she continued to hold his cock in one hand, she began sliding the other hand over his body. She felt him tremble and heard the sharp intake of his breath.
William was totally overwhelmed by what Arlene's actions. He loved having her remove his clothes, and her caresses were evoking wonderful responses. All he could do was groan, gasp, and twitch as her soft hands stole over him. It felt almost as if she was touching him everywhere at the same time. Thrills coursed through him, raising his desire for her to a level he'd never known before.
Arlene kissed William's chest, her lips tickling and rousing him as they moved through the mass of curly hair that grew there. She began sucking on his nipples and each little nub grew erect in her mouth. While her lips worked on William's chest, her hand continued to toy with his erection. She felt stickiness spreading as pre-cum oozed from the tip.
William was totally overwhelmed. He'd never been this turned on! Never! He was on fire with desire!
Arlene's oral caresses moved downward over William's body, and she grew more and more excited as she experienced the warmth of his skin against her lips and fingers. What she was doing to William turned her on almost as much as it seemed to be turning him on! His belly rippled as her lips and fingers moved across it. What she really wanted, though, was his swollen penis. She wanted it in her mouth, so she could taste it.
"Arlene!!!...Oh, Goddd!! You're making me...Ohhhhh!!!...crazy!!!" William groaned as Arlene continued to give him thrill after thrill. "I...Ohhhh!!! I-I...can't stand ittttttt!!!!"
Arlene's lips continued their downward journey. She began kissing the area around William's groin while her hand continued to move up and down on his tumescent spear. His penis was so swollen she had a hard time getting her hand all the way around it. Heat emanated from it and veins bulged from the surface.
