This is this final installment about a married couple that meets a US Army Ranger while vacationing in Cancun.
The next morning Mike and Emily got up early for their Mayan Tour. They rode the bus from the hotel to the central bus station where they exchanged their vouchers for bus tickets to Chichen Itza. As they sat on the bus watching the other tourists settle into their seat, Mike glanced out the window and spotted Jim running across the parking lot.
"Look whose coming." Mike said.
Emily's heart leaped as Jim stepped up on the bus.
"Good morning guys."
"Good morning Jim." Emily replied. Her face felt flushed as she pushed her hair back behind her ears. It was difficult to face Jim after her behavior last night. Despite her better judgment she had got caught up in the moment and went skinny dipping with her husband and Jim. Then when it was time to go she had practically stuck her pussy in Jim's face as she stepped out of the pool. It was so out of character and now she felt an incredible amount of shame.
"It's good to see you." Mike said as he winked at Emily then shook Jim's hand.
"I hope you guys don't mind if I tag along."
"Of course we don't mind." Emily replied reaching out to pat Jim's hand.
Jim stowed his day pack on the overhead shelf and then sat down across from Emily and Mike.
It was a beautiful ride to Chichen Itza. The tour guide was entertaining and informative. He provided a historical overview of the Mayan people and all the speculation about what actually happened to them. When the bus finally arrived at the archeological site, the tour guide asked that everyone stay together for at least the first half hour. After that everyone was free to tour the ruins. After fifteen minutes of following the tour guide around and listening to one tourist keep asking questions about where the Mayan people went, Jim, Mike and Emily decided to break off and do a little exploring on their own.
"Let's go climb up the El Castillo." Jim said pointing to one of the most prominent landmarks on the Yucatan Peninsula. Built before A.D. 800 the "castle" dominates the landscape. The steps up to the top are incredibly steep and some speculate that the steps were designed that way to ensure that you never turn your back on the temple of Kukulcan that crowns the pyramid's top.
"It looks kind of steep." Mike groaned as they crossed the open field and stared up the steps.
"It's amazing they were able to build something so magnificent." Emily said as they stopped to take in the view.
"They were an amazing culture." Jim replied. "Their calendar is pretty damn accurate. I think it all comes to an end in the near future."
"I heard that some people think that's when the world will end." Emily responded.
"I don't thank so, Emily. No one really knows when the world will end at least that's what the bible says." Jim answered.
Mike shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay I'm going up first." Emily announced as she started the climb.
Mike took a deep breath and followed Emily.
Jim let them move up about ten steps before he started his climb.
The steps were steep and treacherous.
About one-third of the way up, Mike stopped. Sweat poured down his face. "God I'm in bad shape." He moaned as he pulled his ball cap off and wiped his forehead. He looked down at Jim and then back up at his wife. She was continuing her ascent, seemingly without any effort.
"Are you okay?" Jim asked as he caught up with Mike.
"Go on." Mike motioned exhaling heavily. "I can't make it."
"Come on you can make it. It's supposed to be a great view up there." Jim said trying to convince Mike to continue.
"I don't have the lungs to keep climbing." Mike replied lowering his head.
"No problem."
"Take some pictures up there." Mike said handing Jim his camera.
Jim took Mike's camera and slid it into his day pack.
"Be careful going back down." Jim said.
"I'll be waiting for you guys at the bottom."
Emily was already half-way to the top. Jim had strong legs and it didn't take long for him to catch up. In spite of her baggy shorts and Kentucky Basketball t-shirt, Emily looked hot. Her shoulder length blonde hair was pulled tightly through the opening in the back of her UK cap. Jim stopped for a moment and looked back down to see if her husband had made it to the bottom safely. He spotted Mike walking across the field to a park bench underneath a small clump of trees. Jim smiled as he turned and looked up at Emily. Her baggy shorts provided a nice view of her tanned legs and when he leaned forward just a little bit he could see her not so sexy white panties. He took a deep breath and whispered, "Please God let me get this woman in bed before I go back to the war." It was an immoral prayer that had no hope of being answered; at least not by God.
Emily paused as she reached the top.
"I can't step up there." She sighed looking frantically at Jim. "I'll fall."
"It's okay Emily I'm right behind you." Jim responded placing his hand on her hips.
She started to move back down the steps.
"You can't go back down you're almost at the top." Jim blocked her.
"I'm scared." Emily cried as tears began to trickle down her cheeks.
"I'm right here and I won't let you fall."
Jim moved up and hugged her. He motioned for another climber to go on by.
"You can do it." He whispered.
"Okay." Emily crawled cautiously on all fours up onto the platform.
"See you made it." Jim said as he helped Emily up on her wobbly feet.
They stepped inside the temple room and leaned against the wall.
"I wanted to go back down so bad." Emily said her emotions still in disorder.
"I'm so proud of you Emily." Jim replied giving her a big hug. "Now look at the view."
Emily turned slowly and then stopped.
"Don't let go!"
Jim wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I've got you Emily."
"God it's beautiful up here." Emily whimpered gazing at the ball court ruins to the northwest.
"Yes you are." Jim replied.
Emily squeezed Jim's arms.
"I mean it Emily. You're beautiful."
Emily patted Jim's arms.
"I think I can stand on my own now."
Jim released Emily and watched as she placed her hand on the wall and walked back inside the temple. She gazed out the doorway facing the southwest and the jungle.
"Amazing isn't it?" Emily responded leaning out to look to the left and then right.
"Don't get too close." Jim whispered.
Emily took one step back and bumped into Jim.
"Sorry." She whispered.
Jim slipped his fingers into the belt loops on her shorts.
"I've got you now." He moved his hands back and forth causing her hips to twist.
"You can see for miles." Emily sighed ignoring what Jim was doing.
"Yes you can." Jim responded exhaling in her ear.
Emily shrugged her shoulders. She was doing her best to remain lady like and stay in control of the situation; but having Jim so close left her feeling weak and vulnerable. It was her fault she reasoned; especially after she let him see her naked. She had to figure out some way to cool things down. Emily had no intention of letting this get out of hand. Besides she was a happily married woman.
"Let's check out the next view." She said.
Jim released Emily and followed her back into the temple. The view overlooked the "Group of the Thousand Columns."
"Look at all those columns."
"They look like something you'd see in Gladiator movie." Jim chuckled.
Jim reached into his day pack and pulled out Mike's camera.
"Let's take a few pictures Emily."
