Nikki woke up comfortably nestled against Amarisa, their legs were intertwined and Amarisa had her arms wrapped tightly around Nikki's waist. Mmm...Nikki snuggled up against her, she enjoyed the feel of the mermaid's smooth skin against hers. She shifted her leg and Amarisa stirred, tightening her hold on Nikki. One hand reached up to cup her breast. Oh you sly dog Nikki thought. Her stomach growled and she frowned. They had fucked for several hours and now Nikki was getting hungry. She left the cabin and the sleeping mermaid and headed down to the lake where she washed the mermaid's dried cum off of her. Oh man it was all over her, she waded into the lake, splashing water on her chest, then on her hair. She heard a noise behind her and whirled around, startled. Amarisa splashed into the water, joining her.
"Hey baby." She chuckled as Amarisa greeted her with a big kiss on the lips. "I didn't want to wake you." She squirmed happily as Amarisa cleaned her off with lake water, she enjoyed the attention as the mermaid rubbed her shoulders and her back. The sun was low in the sky and bathed the area in a cheerful orange. The sunlight shone down Amarisa, she glowed like the goddess she was. Their eyes locked and as if responding to an unspoken cue, they both leaned in and they kissed for a long time.
They went back to the cabin and Nikki put her clothes on and Amarisa put her sweatpants back on too. The thought of hot food was very tempting right now, and Nikki quickened the pace as they headed back to the campsite. She slowed down when she felt Amarisa's hand take hers, and they walked the rest of the way hand in hand.
"Meep."
"Eh?" Amarisa had stopped and Nikki turned to see what was going on. The mermaid beckoned her to keep going towards the campsite, but now she was heading towards the lake. "But...food." Nikki said, confused as she pointed at the campsite. Amarisa nodded, but still waved her towards the campsite. She pointed at the lake and mimed grabbing something, then stripped off the sweatpants, handing them back to Nikki.
"Ok, but hurry up." Nikki said. She wanted every last moment she could with her lover. She walked the beach, back to the campsite where Elena was waiting. "Hey." She said to Elena who had a beer in hand and was sitting in front of a roaring fire, reading a book. There was the mouth watering aroma of grilling steak and bbq sauce.
"You came back just in time." Elena said as she checked on the steaks.
"I didn't know we had steak." Nikki said, looking gratefully at the three massive sized steaks and the large rack of ribs as they cooked.
"We didn't, I drove to the nearest town and bought some food, we needed some more gas anyways." Elena said with a shrug. "I wanted today to be special, for all of us. If you want to go get the rest out of the cooler and the jeep everything will be ready when these are done." Elena said.
"Oh ya, for sure." Niki said. Wow, Elena had seriously downplayed how much food she had bought, there was enough in the cooler and the back of the jeep to make a real feast. She put on the table a premade potato salad, an entire loaf of French bread with butter, fresh ears of corn, veggie kabobs and chips and guacamole and salsa.
" Jesus, Elena." She said with a laugh of delight after she took two trips to get everything to the fold-out table. "You could feed an army with this."
"Probably." Elena said with a laugh. "Or two big eaters and a very hungry mermaid. Speak of the devil." Elena jerked her head in the direction of the lake, and there she was, a fish in her hand. "Hey." Elena said with a lazy grin. "Get over here."
"Look what Elena bought for us." Nikki said to Amarisa, patting Elena on the shoulder after she pointed to the spread on the table. She had to fight not to laugh as Amarisa's eyes opened very wide as she took one look at the picnic table, the large grilling meats on the fire and then slowly back to her own contribution, an impressive sized tuna but no way comparable to what Elena had brought.
"Oh that's great." Elena said enthusiastically, taking the already gutted fish from Amarisa, who handed it over meekly. Nikki tended to the cooking meat as Elena busied herself with getting the fish ready for the fire.
" Oh look at the coloring, Nikki." Elena showed Nikki the inside of the fish. "Such a healthy, beautiful color." Amarisa watched them shyly and Nikki quickly caught on. "Oh yeah, it looks so fresh and delicious." They fawned over Amarisa's catch until the mermaid seemed to get her confidence back and puffed her chest up proudly. "It'll take a while to cook this, let's get eating!"
They washed their hands with some soap and even managed to coax the reluctant mermaid to wash her hands too. Then it was time to eat. There weren't enough chairs for everyone to sit down at so when Nikki suggested they take the waterproof tarp from the jeep to sit on Elena agreed and then then all three of them were sitting, and cutting into the succulent steak and enjoying the other sides as well. Well Elena and Nikki were using knives and forks, the mermaid just ate everything with her hands.
"Everything's so good." Nikki said with a surprised laugh. It was hard not to be extremely happy in the presence of good company and good food, and they joked and teased each other as they devoured all the delicious food.
"Oh, I couldn't eat another bite." Nikki said, lying back onto the tarp, feeling stuffed and very happy. "Woof. Agreed." Elena said, putting her plate down away from them and leaning back as well. Amarisa was still merrily munching away at a cob of corn. They watched the sun set on the horizon, admiring the beauty of nature. Amarisa had seen this sunset almost every day so she took the time to get another helping of the potato salad. She really loved this human food! Finally even she was done and it was then that Elena decided that they should bring the sleeping bags out so they could unzip them and lie on top and enjoy the last rays of the sun.
Nikki lay on the soft sleeping bags, her arms behind her, propping herself up. It would be her last day here, and with that thought came sadness, she didn't want the wonderful camping trip to end, ever. The three women sat close together, Nikki in the middle, Elena on her right, Amarisa on her left. She could feel the heat emanating off of both of them, and she had never felt more happy, more loved.
"Meep." Amarisa had sat up and leaned over Nikki to put her hand on Elena's knee. She rubbed it gently and gave Elena a light squeeze. "Guess you did good with the food." Nikki said with a laugh. Elena beamed too. "I'm glad you liked it, you too Nikki." She said, reaching over to pat Amarisa's thigh and then to squeeze Nikki affectionately on the shoulder.
Nikki got up to go put the food away, and when she came back after a few minutes to see the two women sitting close together. Elena was showing Amarisa something on her Ipad. "And here's Nikki, feeding the monkeys." Nikki grinned as she walked over and sat back down, this time Amarisa was the one in the middle.
"I was just showing her some pictures of that time we went to the zoo." Elena said as Amarisa flipped through the pictures like a pro with a swipe of her finger. Nikki snuggled up to Amarisa, who was very absorbed in the pictures, an eager look on her face.
"Why don't we watch a movie?" Nikki suggested.
"Good idea." Elena said. "What should we watch?"
"Romantic comedy?"
"Ok. Sure. I downloaded some, let me just find it...." Elena took the Ipad back to find a movie, Amarisa seemed reluctant to return it but she did so politely. "You know, she has really grown these past few days." Nikki said as Amarisa rubbed her shoulders. "Mm that feels good."
