Thanksgiving - Day 1
We looked at each other as the door was opened and the stewardess announced the deboarding of our flight.
"Here we go," Julia said just before she kissed me on the lips, then nuzzled her nose against mine. God I thought it was so sexy when she did that.
"I'm ready Babe," I said as I pulled her tight, kissed her and said, "Whatever happens, I love you."
We stepped out of the covered rampart and into the Duluth International Airport. It wasn't much to behold, but we made our way down to baggage claim and then to the car rental agency Julia's father had made arrangements with. The rental agent gave us the keys and the paperwork and explained that it was waiting for us out front. Gerald led the way to a GMC Yukon. I looked to Julia. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled. I thanked Gerald and put our bags in the back and then helped Julia into the vehicle. As I stepped into the Yukon I realized they had it warmed and ready to go.
"You warm Baby?"
"Yep," she said smiling.
"Okay, tell me the way."
We took Rice Lake Road north out of town and headed deep into mosquito country. I was glad though for it being late November. I had heard horror stories about mosquitos up here being the size of small birds. However, I hoped that the cold of such a late season had killed them for me. The road eventually opened up to a large lake on each side of the road where Julia pointed out on the east side of the lake a spot where they used to park a vehicle on the ice and take bets on when it would fall through when spring arrived.
"Nice, something to do when passing time drinking beer I guess."
"Yah, you know, we like dat up here!" she said pointing out my stereotyping of Minnesotans.
The road turned to the east once across the lake then shortly after turned north. Not long after that the road turned into Vermillion Trail and we saw a somewhat freshly cut road on the left leading to the northeastern corner of Boulder Lake. Julia said we needed to turn there. We headed down the narrow gravel road cut through the trees and what looked like former swampland. After a few turns the road opened into a large gravel roundabout with two houses along its outer edge. Julia pointed to the house on the right.
I stopped and stared at the house. It was more of a log cabin mansion. It was built on a raised surface making the land about 15' higher than its environs. A huge front porch looked over by two huge tree logs supporting a large deck above provided an imposing and magnificent entrance. The doors were single slabs of wood with tree branches for door handles sanded smooth and shining. Elaborate clear, beveled glass, cut and shaped liked stained glass showed a wooded scene with two deer on the left and a bear and moose on the right. Above, overlooking the deck was a two story glass wall covering the span of the great room within.
I was suddenly aware of a sharp elbow needling me in the ribs.
"OMG! Drive please, I gotta pee!"
I pulled up and a older Gentleman walked out and down the steps to meet us.
I let Julia out and walked to the man and extended a hand, "Good morning Mr. Salo, I am glad to finally meet you."
"I am so sorry sir," he said as he removed his hand from my grip, "I am Mr. Salo's Butler Edward. May I help you with the luggage?"
I awkwardly apologized and tried to assure him it was not necessary.
"I understand Mr Williams, but our young Miss Julia never travels light. I will give you a hand."
There was no ill will in the offer and there was a knowing smile as he began to lift a few of her larger bags. I grabbed the others as I watched Julia rapidly disappear into the large house. I followed him into the foyer and as he turned to the right and began the climb up the staircase on the right. Despite the the grandeur of the home it was modestly decorated, and done in very good taste. In fact the only part of the home that bespoke of its luxury was a full story crystal chandelier hanging from the center of the great room. We arrived at the landing of the second floor and turned to the right again. Down this hall there were six doors and based on placement one must have been a hall bathroom and the other a service closet. He set Julia's luggage down and showed me into the room.
"This Mr. Williams, is your room. I hope it meets your needs. If there is anything you need just ask, and I will do my best to assist you. It has been nice meeting you, Sir."
With that he left me standing in awe. The room was the size of my home. There was a small kitchenette off to the left of the door, a door further down the wall leading to a large bathroom with walk in shower, jacuzzi, a toilet and oh hell, a bidet. I laughed and returned to the room and began to unpack in the cedar closet and dresser.
Just as I was finished hanging my last buttoned shirt two hands covered my eyes. I turned and swept Julia into my arms and began to passionately kiss her. There was a bit of resistance at first but I shrugged it off as being in her father's house. Eventually she caved and began to eagerly return the kiss. My hands traveled down the curves of her body and and grabbed her ass forcefully pulling her close, and further up to my mouth. We slowly parted and my hands moved around and up to the bottom of her sweater and began pulling the sweater up. As she lifted her arms, I bunched the sweater together around her wrists, restricting her arms above her head and began kissing down her neck to her bra encased breasts. She began to moan as my mouth closed around her rapidly hardening nipple. As I lightly bit down -
"Ahem, what do you think you are doing?"
Oh shit, I thought, her Mother. I dropped Julia's arms and turned to apologize.
