The next couple of days were spent sight seeing. The couple went to the famed Ramsey Canyon Reserve. Neither had ever paid much attention to birds before so this was going to be an experience. They watched several breeds of humming birds being banded and hiked miles of trails. They ate at a couple of the restaurants recommended by Mark and Jane, the La Casita Mexican Restaurant and Cantina and the Stagecoach Steakhouse and Saloon. They went bowling at Vista lanes and wore themselves out. An older couple bowling at the lane next to theirs told them about the copper mine just a few miles to the east, Carla and Dave had talked about it before and now decided that they must go see it for themselves. They got up early the next morning and set off on the adventure.
They visited The Queen Mine and took the guided underground tour. It was a nice ride, about forty minutes southeast of Sierra Vista in Bisbee, it was also one of the coolest places to be this day with temperatures reaching nearly one hundred degrees. The Queen Mine is famed to be the oldest copper mine in Arizona. Wearing the slickers and hard hats provided, they rode the trains through the mine with a tour guide who had been a former miner. It was fascinating stuff.
The morning of their last day in Sierra Vista, Carla got up early to fix Dave breakfast and to see him off. The night before he had hinted that he'd like to play another round of golf before they left but didn't feel right leaving her home again without a car. Carla explained that she wanted to get the house back in order and the bags packed and could do it easily by herself - when she finished she would just hang out at the pool until he returned. He obliged promising that they would do anything she wanted that night when he returned.
He left and Carla cleaned up the breakfast dishes and piddled around the house for a couple of hours tidying up, doing a little laundry, and packing.
With the work done, she searched the bedroom for her swimsuit. As she undressed, she noticed that the redness from the sunburn she acquired as a result of taking her top off a couple days before was turning tan and her nipples weren't so sensitive anymore. Dave hadn't noticed the burn. Last night, when he had made love to her, she trembled and groaned every time he brushed across her breasts. "He must have thought he was really good," Carla laughed, "thank goodness the lights had been dimmed," she sighed with relief.
Carla stretched out on a lounge chair by the pool, drink in hand. She remembered to use a sun screen on her entire body. One just never knows what surprises fate may bestow upon them. The outdoor stereo was tuned to a local "oldies" station playing Hold Me, one of her favorite songs by Fleetwood Mac. It reminded her of her first husband. It was "their song." She thought about him once in a while never really understanding why she left him. Too young and impulsive was probably the best answer to that question. He always referred to her as "My Carla" and he held her hand everywhere they went. Carla still loved listening to Fleetwood Mac for their rather seductive music and lyrics. She had almost fallen asleep when a voice called from the other side of the fence snapping her back to present, "Mind if I come over?"
"Sure, come on over," she tried to sound nonchalant but her voice betrayed her with an "I thought you'd never show up!" anxiousness.
He entered through the gate as before this time wearing denim shorts barely riding on his hips, button fly, with the top one undone. He pulled the other chaise over to hers and sat on its side staring at her back. It didn't take him long to notice that not only were her straps not tied around her back and neck, but they were not hanging over the sides of the lounge either. "I've been watching for you," his nervousness evident, "I was hoping to see you again before you left."
Carla rolled over, "I hoped to see you too." Shawn leaned over her and covered her mouth with his. He kissed her long and hard until she began to laugh, "This is crazy. I must be out of my mind!" Shawn moved down to her nipples and seeing that they were sunburned licked very gently. Carla shivered. He asked her how such a nice little girl got such a nasty burn on her breasts. She laughed and replied, "I can't seem to remember." He bit her.
Shawn took his time teasing her body with his tongue. He licked from one nipple to the other and down to her belly button, round and round stopping to place delicate kisses here and there. When he reached her bikini he looked up into her eyes, "Now?" he pled.
"Now," she nodded. A shiver of excitement zinged through her body. She raised her hips slightly to help him with the task. Shawn hooked his thumbs around the elastic band and ever so slowly worked the panty down. It was a little tight, she fought not to reach down and hurry him up. The garment reached her knees and then stopped. Shawn teased her tracing the triangle of her pubis. Anxiety was building inside her until finally she wiggled and kicked and flung the article from her feet.
"Patience, patience," he chided. Carla had never known an eighteen-year-old, especially one bearing a hard on, to have patience. She grabbed him by his neck and pulled him down on top of her. Shawn yelped as he toppled over her. Bracing himself on his elbows, his face grew serious looking into her eyes full of want. "You're sure."
Carla tried to slow her thoughts and actions weighing the seriousness of what she was about to do. She had never cheated on her husband before, never ever even considered it, or perhaps, the opportunity just never presented itself before. The sex in her relationship with Dave had been completely unsatisfying of late and she just couldn't help herself. She wanted Shawn right this moment, somehow, it didn't seem so wrong.
Taking his face into her hands, she pulled his lips to hers and kissed him softly. Her hands moved down to his shorts and awkwardly tugged at them. Shawn grunted as he stood. It was obvious that she wasn't going to get the job done in her incommodious position. He started pulling the shorts down as she monitored every movement. There he stood at attention before her, she was melting, wishing that he would quit playing around and take her.
But he didn't. Shawn knelt at the foot of the chaise and pulled her to him by her legs until his face touched the heat of her. She bolted upright the moment his tongue touched her skin. His eyes were grinning but his blessed tongue never let up. She collapsed again on her back and tried to relax but it was impossible. Her body trembled, her hips bucked back and forth, up and down, trying to rid herself of the sweet torture and at the same time begging for more. Carla clutched his hair and held on tight. Her moans advanced into squeals, her body began to shake and . . .
Shawn stopped. The sound of the garage door opening startled them. Shawn rose, kissed her and quickly jumped into his shorts. "Wait . . . stop . . . don't leave," Carla trying exigently to regain her control , "Stay and swim. I want you to meet my husband."
"No way!" Shawn waved as he opened the gate.
"Please!" Carla begged.
"I don't know," quite uncertain about her plan. "Just stay out here!" desperate now.
She entered the house wearing only the bikini bottom and met Dave just as he was coming in the garage entrance. "I thought I heard you come in." Carla greeted.
"Where are your clothes?" He growled, walking on past .
"I've been swimming. Want to join me?"
"Um, guess so. Let me change clothes," was his perfunctory reply.
Carla raced to the kitchen to fix drinks. She poured three cokes. One for Shawn, with just a little bit of bourbon to loosen him up. One for Dave, with about 50/50 bourbon and coke to ease his disposition, and straight up coke for herself, she wanted full control of her senses tonight. Carla brought Dave's drink to him in the room. He was laying on the bed and promised to join her in a few minutes. By then hopefully he would have drunk most of his drink, she hoped.
Carla rejoined Shawn in the pool handing him his drink, giggling, like a child who has just pulled the proverbial wool over her parents' eyes. She jumped in the water and snuggled up to Shawn who was hiding by squatting down, back against the wall so his head wasn't visible from the patio doors. She leaned her still bare breasts into his face waving them back and forth until he laughed. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer taking a mound of boob into his mouth, biting playfully. She squealed, holding him by the ears.
They played in the water until Dave came out carrying a beer. Shawn had consumed half of his drink and was getting a little aggressive. Carla stepped out of the water and introduced the neighbor who emerged from his perch and turned demurely to confront her husband. He felt as if his guilt showed all over his face, it did not help that Carla was still bare breasted, but Dave seemed oblivious to that fact. He stepped out of the water to shake hands and the two sat at a table and talked while Carla swam.
Shawn wasn't sure what Carla had told Dave and felt embarrassed about the position she had put him in. He tried to explain, "Your wife, I mean Carla, she wants to . . . "
