INTRODUCTION TO READERS
WET ENCOUNTERS
is a novel-length story of love, lust and betrayal that takes place on a tropical Pacific island during the second half of the twentieth century.
It's seventeen chapters pivot around a single event that takes place when two people are forced to take refuge in an abandoned cabin when they are cut off by rising floodwaters.
During the three nights they spend together, they discover things about themselves and the regular occupants of the cottage that will destroy their previously stable lives.
The big question is, can anything be saved from the wreckage that remains after the floodwaters recede?

CHAPTER TWELVE
Juanita tried everything I had taught her about compression massage and mouth to mouth resuscitation in her attempt to resurrect my formerly upright steadfast soldier. Apart from getting a slight rise out of him, however, the best that could be said was that he might survive. Whether he would live to fight another day remained to be answered.
After reassuring her that I was confident that he'd come good and that he'd be back playing with her furry little kitten in no time, we cleaned ourselves up in the bathroom before I prepared us a light meal. In spite of our active afternoon and evening, neither of us was very hungry.
With our supper under our belts and the dishes washed, dried and put away, we sat down to a game of gin rummy. We'd thought about playing Squatter but I felt that Juanita's emotions were still a little too raw for us to be playing a game that her husband had introduced into his and Liz' - and now our - love nest.
It turned out that Juanita was an accomplished card shark and she ended up taking all my matches - which she called 'kisses' - from me before I surrendered, swearing to honour an IOU for the equivalent of another box of kisses (there were sixty kissed to a box back in those days). I'd hate to play against her in a game of poker; particularly strip poker. ...although?
It was about ten o'clock when we decided to call it a night and head for bed. Juanita had changed the sheets while I had been preparing our supper and had dumped the sheets and towels into the bathwater to soak. We decided to leave them in the water overnight but conceded that we might need the towels before the night was out. We wrung them out and hung them over a couple of chairs in the kitchen in the hope that they would be dry by the time they were needed. Fresh towels might be required by morning if things followed what had quickly become our usual pattern.
Having cleaned my teeth, I left Juanita to perform her own night-time routine while I checked the water levels and added my own meagre contribution to its volume. The water was still rising; albeit slowly. It was almost at the top of the step upon which I had placed the piece of firewood. It wouldn't be very long before it floated off so I raised it, putting it two treads higher.
I heard the toilet flush as I stepped back into the cabin. I assumed that that meant Juanita had emptied her bowels. Knowing that she would follow up her wiping with a wash and dry, I wondered whether that meant she wanted to take her thermal demonstration to the next level? I was sure she'd let me know either way. Unless I was sorely mistaken, however, I was convinced she didn't want to cross back to the other side of the creek without having experienced the loss of her anal virginity.
The enthusiasm she had shown towards having two of my fingers in the last of her holes led me to believe that tonight would be the night. If I was right about the speed at which the water might drop once the rain stopped falling, we might not have another; certainly not one as private and secluded as we had here in the mill manager's cottage.
My route to the bedroom took me first to the kitchen where I topped up the stove's firebox and damped it down. It would throw off enough heat during the night to dry the towels and to keep the little house free of damp. I met Juanita in the living room, where we shared a kiss before heading towards the bedroom. There was a chill in the air that we hadn't experienced during the past couple of days. That was an indication that the cloud cover was lifting, permitting the cool air to slide down from the mountain range that formed the spine of the island. It was also another sign that our time in on this side of the creek was drawing to a close.
Having lived on the island for the past seven years, Juanita also felt the coolness in the breeze. She, too, understood that this might be our last night together in our little cabin. That sense of impending closure seemed to intensify our love for one another. Rather than surrendering to our lustful passions when we climbed into our bed, we simply laid beneath the sheet and held each other close.
As had become our habit, we allowed our bodies to merge and let our hearts meld. Within a few minutes, our heartbeats became one and we drifted off to sleep. It was a time for emotional intercourse. The intense lovemaking would come later.
I don't know how long we had been asleep but I was almost at the climactic point in an erotic dream in which Noan, after having used her mouth to bring my soldier to attention, had straddled my hips and was lowering herself down over his head and was gradually sucking him up into her soft, warm body. As had happened previously, I awoke to discover that my dream was not a dream at all. It was a reality.
"I hope I didn't wake you, Matthew," the woman straddling my hips said. It was only then that I realised that Noan had gone and Juanita had returned. It was the use of the word, Matthew, rather than, Mister Matthew, that gave it away. Juanita had apparently decided that she no longer wanted to share her enjoyment with her substitute persona.
"I am starting to enjoy being woken in this way, my darling Juanita," I mumbled as I felt her slowly engulfing inch after inch of my penis into her vagina. "I hope it doesn't stop when we cross back over." I think we were both starting to think of the creek and the divide between heaven and hell; or at least, between heaven and reality.
"I don't believe there is any danger of that happening," she answered. "I'm sorry for waking you but I just couldn't wait another minute.
"I'm beginning to understand why Liz felt the need to go looking for a replacement penis while you were away. If she was as addicted to yours as I have become, and if I had to go without for more than a couple of days, I think I might also have gone in search of a substitute.
"I'm not making excuses for her. But am beginning to understand her motives. Mind you, she certainly hasn't found anything to compare with this in James."
"I might agree with you if our sex life had been anything like that I've experienced during the past day or so." I said. "Sadly, it hasn't. I think that after we were caught out when our daughter Tracey was born - I think we told you that she came a bit earlier than expected and was delivered in the local hospital - she has been a bit worried about becoming pregnant again.
"I can understand her concern as I wouldn't want her to have to go through another birth in what can only be described as a third-world hospital. But since then, our lovemaking has been limited to her non-fertile cycles. That's probably why I didn't notice the change from limited to almost non-existent when I returned from Australia after I'd buried my mother.
"If I'm right, that change fitted in with what I believe was the beginning of her affair with James.
"In fact, I even have a theory about that. But I think it is something we can discuss later. It seems rude to be talking about such things while you are trying to fuck the life out of me. Besides, I don't believe I have your full attention."
"Perhaps you're right," Juanita said. "I think I lost you when you at, 'I might agree with you'."
As I looked down along my body, I could see that she was using both hands to hold her pussy lips apart while she was sliding down on what felt like a rigid, hardened steel rod. Her head was thrown back and her eyes were closed. She slowly let out a long moan of pleasure as she bottomed out and her open vulva settled onto my pubic bone.
After releasing her grip on her labia, she leaned forward and rested her hands on my chest. I reached up and took a firm hold on each of her nipples and gave them a squeeze and twist. At the same time, I gave my penis a twitch.
Juanita's eyes popped open and she let out a loud squeal, which coincided with a short, sharp spasm of her pubic muscles. I felt her release a small amount of fluid, which squirted onto my pubic hair. She hadn't come but she
had
pissed herself. Whether it was urine or ejaculant, I was yet to find out.
"I was going to call on Noan to help out with this part of the experimentation... I'm sorry, demonstration," Juanita said, breathlessly, as she recovered from her mini-orgasm. "I'm pleased I didn't."
"I'm pleased that you didn't, as well," I responded. "Although I must admit to loving Noan almost as much as I love you. She's a very cheeky young thing and she seems to be up for anything. I hope you plan to bring her to live with us when you move in. I think the three of us could have a lot of fun together.
"I agree," Juanita said. "I'll have to ask her. I think she'll agree. I think she might love you even more than I do, though, so I'll have to watch her.
"Now, if Noan was here, what would you be teaching her about the last of your human thermal techniques?"
"I'd prefer to show her personally," I said, "but I guess if I show you, you will be able to tell her about it. Of course, I will have to give her a hands-on demonstration for her to understand it fully.
"Before we start, though, I will need an infusion of oxygen. Would you like to show me what you have learned about mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? I believe that I'm about to expire."
Juanita leaned forward and applied her mouth to mine. Her technique was outstanding. I had to give her extra marks for the way she not only engaged her tongue with mine but also for the way the walls of her vaginal tunnel gripped my cock during the kiss. A lesser man might have required additional bottled oxygen just to get over being revived.
"Excellent!" I exclaimed as she released her limpet-like grip on my mouth. "Now, before you have me exploding, I need you to turn around so you are facing my feet. It will make it easier for me to continue the stretching exercises we started earlier. As this might be our last night here in our luxurious honeymoon bungalow, I'd like to introduce you to the third temperature taking procedure tonight.
