The tree house had been a fixture in our family's back yard for at least eight years. Dan built it when our oldest child turned seven. Over the years it had been a hide-out, a fort, a clubhouse--"No Boys Allowed," and the central theme of many sleepovers and late-night campouts. I'd stood at the base of this old oak tree hundreds of times; to toss up an extra flashlight, offer another batch of chocolate chip cookies or to call the troops down for dinner. I ran my finger over the smoothed-out bark around the attached ladder...what memories.
A hand brushed across my shoulder and I instinctively jumped. "Oh, Dan, you scared the life out of me," I laughed as I turned and saw him grinning at me. I was in such deep thought apparently I didn't hear him approach me.
"What cha' doing out here?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing really. I just came out to water my camellia plants and my tiger lilies." I sighed and leaned back against the old tree. "It is so beautiful out here right before sunset, isn't it?"
"Sure is," he replied. Dan pulled me towards him and wrapped his arms around my shoulders in a casual embrace. I leaned my head against his shoulder and buried my face in the crook of his elbow. He sighed contentedly and I felt his body relax against mine. Dan gently cupped my chin and pulled my face up to meet his. He smiled. I leaned forward and brushed his lips softly with my own. He tilted his head and kissed me, firmly moving his lips over mine and gently pushing his way into my mouth with his tongue. He slid the tip across the roof of my mouth. He made slow, languorous strokes around my tongue, tickling the underside. His hands held the sides of my face and the ends of his fingers gently moved through my hair, rubbing against the base of the back of my neck. Tiny electric sparks rippled from the base of my neck down to my spine-'sparkles,' I always called them...and the warmth of growing desire flooded through my body.
I felt my nipples harden and press against the gauzy fabric of my sundress. Dan pulled his lips away from mine slowly. We stared into each other's eyes for several seconds and then he took a step behind me and leaned up against the old tree, pulling me back against his body and sliding his arms around my waist. I leaned against him and stared out at the last embers of the sunset as it dipped below the horizon. We both leaned there contentedly, softly talking about the beauty of the sunset, the marbled pattern of the colors of the approaching night sky and the tips of the mountain range in the distance that were swiftly fading to black.
Dan's arms uncoiled from my waist and his hands slid up my sides and around my middle section, resting there firmly. He held me in place against his warm broad frame. His right hand opened and covered my right breast. He kneaded it gently and I could feel the warmth of his hand through the thin material covering my skin. My nipples were strained against the fabric and as his hands gently squeezed my breast, the fabric rubbed and scratched against the hardened peaks. I moaned softly. He took that as an invitation and moved both hands to the buttons on the front of my sundress. He deftly upbuttoned each tiny pearl bead closure until the fabric hung loosely to my waist. He slipped both hands into the opening at the front of my dress and rubbed his calloused hands back and forth across my chest. By this time my nipples were so hard they ached with a heavy numbness and the caresses from his fingertips felt like tiny tongues of liquid fire, lapping against my taut flesh. Dan continued sliding and caressing his warms fingers across my skin while he leaned his head over and started breathing heavily into my left ear. He pressed his lips against my earlobe and then gently flicked the base of my ear at the bottom of my earring with the tip of his tongue. A shiver of delight ran through me.
Dan's left hand moved from my breast and traveled down to the outside of my left hip. He scrunched his fingers up against the cotton fabric of my sundress and started sliding it upward, bunching it into his hand. When he found the hem of the skirt, he pulled the fabric over the back of his knuckle and his left hand disappeared underneath my dress. He slid his palm up and down the front of my thigh. Then he moved it over to the middle of my most sensitive area, covering the mound of flesh with his hand. The warmth of his hand radiated through the delicate fabric of my sheer panties and I arched the top half of my body even further back against his torso, giving him unlimited access.
His right hand still cupped my breast and occasionally slid up and down across my nipples. He rubbed each nipple vigorously and then gently grazed the tips of them with the back of his knuckles. He continued this sweet torture while the fingers of his left hand lightly stroked the front of my crotch. One finger at a time tapped against me, as if he were tickling the ivories of a keyboard. He slid the heel of his palm firmly against the top of my panties and pressed his long middle finger into the vee at the base of my hips. His finger moved against the soft fabric of my panties and pushed them, along with his flattened finger, into my moist wetness. Dan gently started sliding his finger up and down. The scrap of satin that separated our skin was now drenched in my juices and it created a smooth friction as his steady hand moved back and forth. My clit was so sensitive to his touch that it was almost numbing. I couldn't decide if the firmness of his finger against me was too intenseβalmost painful, or if the ache that I was feeling was my body, betraying me with wanton desire. I parted my lips to whisper to him that it was too much. I only whispered his name and he instinctively stilled his finger and drew my mind back to focus on how deliciously he was stroking and touching both of my breasts. Dan alternated caressing my nipples and kneading each one between his thumb and forefinger. He pinched them into engorged tight peaks.
