"Oh my God, Lisa, not here, not now."
"Later, after dinner, we'll have a moment alone. I promise."
"We'll make up some excuse, go down to the gazebo and look for stars. I'll figure something out, trust me."
I heard Lisa groan under her breath, and felt my panties snap back into place from her bite that turned into a grin.
"Ouch," I said, as we both began to laugh again, me with my ass up against the kitchen counter and Lisa, like an animal on her hands and knees, at my feet.
During dinner the guys carried on most of the conversation, while me and Lisa exchanged glances and ran our tongues over the tongs of our forks and the curves of our spoons, seductively at every opportunity.
Lisa in particular took great pleasure at turning herself into the visual equivalent of my main course, as she gobbled through the lobster bisque soup and then made a show of gratitude and amusement for all, by licking the last drop from her bowl.
"After dinner, I'm going to show Lisa how well the succulents are doing. We're going to take a quick tour of the gazebo. You guys will have to wait for your desert," I said.
I looked over at Lisa and watched her smile return, obviously pleased with the way I managed to practice what I preached.
As soon as we walked out the door, I took Lisa's hand in mine and brought it up to my mouth. I licked her finger tips, my fragrance of perfume, earth and salty air from our moment in the kitchen, was still there infused on the back of her hand.
Lisa tried to run away with me, pulling at my hand, as she leaped like a leopard down the path to the gazebo. We were both breathless, as we trudged up the last few steps to the top of the knoll and looked out over the valley.
The sunbrella fabric on the daybed was wet with evening dew, so we planted ourselves on pine wood wood floor and listened to it squeak under our combined weight, until we were silenced by the crickets, carrying out their own evening mating rituals.
"God, I loved the way you were turning me on tonight Lisa."
"I love to flirt," she said.
And that was true. Lisa could flirt the robes off priest, I thought to myself. It didn't matter with her, man, woman or boy, she could make lovers out of the lot of them. She could hug and kiss like nobody's business and she did it with abandon, which sometimes got her into trouble.
With me it was different. She knew from experience to respect my limits and generally followed my lead, and tonight was no different, as I reached over and took her hand and squeezed.
She let out a sigh, and rested her head on my shoulder.
