I stepped out onto the balcony and breathed in the cool night air. The old house turned bed and breakfast was set further back off the street than the buildings in the heart of the french quarter where the balconies actually hung over the sidewalk, and a big magnolia tree in the small front yard left it with a secluded feeling, but I still had a good view of the neighborhood from my balcony. Just a few blocks away was the hustle and bustle of the quarter but the street in front of me had a more residential feel, even though most of the old houses had been turned into vacation rentals.
A couple strolled along the street hand in hand talking too softly for me to distinguish what their conversation was about but from their smiles and the glow on their faces I guessed they were on their honeymoon. In the distance I could hear the sounds of the city but I felt a million miles away from it all. The cool breeze felt like it went straight through my thin gown leaving chill bumps on my entire body but I felt so alive that I almost enjoyed the chill.
The warmth of his hands as he wrapped his arms around me and slid his hands down my arms startled me. I leaned back into him and enjoyed the feeling of his skin against mine.
"I missed you," he said as his lips found the bare skin of my neck and nuzzled in close.
I smiled. "I was only gone for a few minutes."
His hands slid back up my arms then across my breasts, covering them but not really caressing them. I didn't turn around to look at him but I could feel bare skin and realized that he was standing behind me on the balcony in his boxer shorts. I was surprised that he wasn't worried about someone seeing him. He was kissing my neck and ear and I could feel myself getting aroused.
"Have you decided what you want for dinner tonight?" I asked, trying to not think about how good his lips felt on my bare skin.
"Mmmm hmmmm," he mumbled moving down to kiss my shoulder.
I could tell that he didn't have food on his mind. His hands stroked back down my bare arms and came to rest on my hips. He lightly gripped my hips from behind, sending a little thrill through me because it reminded me of how he holds on to my hips when he takes me hard from behind.
