Journey to love 10
This episode contains sexual activity by concerning adults only. And likeness to persons known or unknown is purely coincidental. The places are real places the characterisations are not. I hope I don't upset any small rural communities in the process.

Journeys often take flights of fancy to new heights. Sometime one's dreams are fulfilled other times dashed. Time always tells.

"Fuck mozzies!"
I looked over at Sophie who hadn't stirred. Her beautiful skin was covered by at least a dozen feeding mossies. Frantically I swatted those on her before I attacked them on myself.
"Darling, mozzies. Wake up."
She groaned and moved a bit. We were so out to it from our lovemaking session that we hadn't even heard their annoying buzz.
"You hit them darling."
Well I tried to be gentle as I slapped all over her body. I got a few mid-feast, her precious blood spilt once again. It was a week for blood. That thought flowed through my mind.
My slapping finally woke her up and comically we were soon both doing the great Australian wave. I frantically closed the folding doors. Too late a barrier to the invaders. The problem was we were both stark naked. Easy targets.
Then I searched the bathroom for bug spray. It is Australia, so there was a can. I desperately tried to fumigate the room. Us in it unfortunately.
"Shit that's toxic, yuck." Sophie pronounced.
"All's fair in love and war. This is war."
Mosquitoes were still landing on us.
"Do you see any Aeroguard?"
"Dijahavagoodweegend"
"No the bloody mozzies ate us alive."
"Don't forget the Aeroguard and aveagoodweekend." We chanted together.
I started scratching.
"Don't start that Jack, it only gets worse." Sophie was on her phone.
"Shit we only have one of these cures. Cold shower."
So we bundled under the cold shower.
"Stand don't rub."
"That's no fun. "
It relieved the initial itch but it was clear we were both covered.
"Ok new game. Bite count. The most bites gets a trophy."
I started counting on Sophie. Front, back, even souls of feet.
"Thirty seven." I proclaimed after I lost count and had to start again.
"Okay you Jack, damn that's a lot."
"Cute there's even one in your butt crack. Seventeen, eighteen, turn."
She worked my legs and thighs.
"Jack, Jack you have three on your dick, and another on your balls."
"How am I not supposed to itch those?"
"Thirty five Jack. I win!"
"Don't genital bites count for two at least."
"No Jack."
"Does saliva help?"
"I could try."
We patted ourselves dry trying not to rub.
I sprayed the room again as there were still some mozzies left. It was only one AM. How were we going to sleep? I tried licking one on my arm.
"Hard to tell. Sophie. Fuck my ball is itchy."
Sophie was down there in a flash, gently sucking my ball into her mouth.
"Oh that's nice but I think for the wrong reason. My cock started rising."
"Fuck Jack there are two more, under your foreskin. They must have got you while you were hard."
"So we are a draw."
"Shit too much blood down there I guess."
"It's not snake bite." I said as she hoovered my cock into her mouth.
"But it is a snake."
"Fair point."
"Not sure about the bites but the distraction is helping."
I was only semi-hard.
"I doubt I can cum though, too many other distractions wanting a scratch."
"Check my folds please I'm feeling itchy down there now."
We sixty-nined.
"You win."
I licked the red mozzie bite in the folds of my favourite Labia. The smaller ones that stuck out from her bigger ones. I love seeing them when Sophie bends over naked or in the saddle gap between her thighs.
"Shit this could go on for ever. The licking I mean, but I think it's not really helping, just highlighting the itch."
"Let's try and get to sleep."
"Maybe the anaesthetic of sleep will take the mind off it."
We put on a sheet to hopefully protect against stray nasties. Then we lay sort of in each others arms. The cool was better than the heat. We chatted a bit about tomorrow. Lotion was added to the list of must buys.
"I can't sleep." Sophie complained.
"I tried counting sheep, but all I could see is killer mozzies buzzing Zero, Zero, Zero. Kamikaze bastards."
Eventually we must have dropped off as we were awakened by predawn caroling birds.
"Might as well get up and go on that early behind the scenes tour." Sophie pronounced, "but don't itch."
"Fuck it's hard not to."
Both of us were covered in red dots that appeared to have grown overnight.
We had an early breakfast. Followed by a behind the scenes tour of the zoo. It included meeting keepers and feeding times. The giraffes were keen to meet us. They had huge tongues.
I leant close to Sophie's ear and whispered.
"I wish my tongue was that long last night."
"Dream on lover. If it was that long I would have no need for this."
She grabbed my crutch.
"Point taken."
The tour took us to the lion enclosure. This was a feed time. Large cut carcasses of cows were on the menu. There was an uproar as the male took his first share. The lionesses waited.
"We are missing the dominant male at the moment."
"Is that the one shagging under the bushes back there." I quipped.
"That's the one. Very perspective of you Jack."
"We came across them yesterday, and looked it up."
"The mating habits?"
"Yes. They were at it all night. We could hear them in the distance."
"Well done you would make a good keeper son. As keepers we have to be alert. Especially during mating. Just incase they get out of control. Lions have such difficulty getting pregnant. Every birth is important."
There were about ten people in the tour group. Including some younger kids.
In a quiet moment away from the others I asked the keeper.
"So if a lion does it so much, but for only seconds,how much cum does he actually squirt?"
"Great question. Do you want to hop in and find out for us?" He laughed. "Seriously the truth is we don't really know. Some scientists have tried to see if diet can increase the volume. But it is so little. Perhaps he manages 2- 3mls day. Not much reward for effort. It's why he has to shag himself out."
He called the group together.
"Jack asked a good question. Males produce so little sperm, that over a day, our male will produce much less than a teaspoon full in that time. Although that's an educated guess. The female, although fertile, is an opportunistic ovulator. Which means she may or may not release an egg. The biting and aggressive behaviour of the male is thought to help her release that precious egg. So the lions have a hard time of it.
"Notice they haven't eaten with the rest. Mating can take three or more days. When finished she will go off and find him some food."
"How long have they been at it?" Sophie asked.
"It's over fifty hours now."
"Poor bugger." One of the men quipped.
"That's way more than your quota for the year Charles." His wife added.
"Poor bugger." Another man added and we all laughed.
Well the Zoo is now open. Feel free to continue around from here, or cycle back to camp.
The family had a golf cart. They continued on.
Sophie and I peddled around to see our lions.
"I need to get busy and find a garage that will look at Daisy."
So we sat as I made phone calls and Leo made another deposit.
"Found one. I can bring her around today for him to make an assessment, as he's not heard of the car. He may be able to fit us in tomorrow."
"Well how about we get going and come back in the afternoon."
"Do you realise we have not gone swimming for a few days."
"We will need to soon, we have some long trips ahead."
We cycled back to our quarters.
Our first call once we got to town was a chemist. We ended up with three remedies. An antihistamine, which we took immediately. The chemist was worried about how many bites we had. Some Aloe Vera cream for immediate relief and some calamine lotion for overnight. I can't say we haven't scratched it was diving us both mad. We found a disabled toilet so we could smother ourselves in Aloe Vera. It meant a total strip.
I'm sure the old lady waiting outside when we exited thought we were fucking in there. I did not say that groping and some stimulus did not occur. It mainly amounted to giggles and tickles. As well as massive relief.
Next it was the motorcycle mechanic.
"Wow, very impressive. I looked it up last night. But to see one in the flesh, so to speak. It will be a privilege to work on it.
"Look we are really booked to the hilt tomorrow, but if you recon you can give me a hand early in the morning, I'm willing to squeeze you in."
"I would love to help. I may not be able to find someone to work on her further down the trip. So the more I can learn the better."
"Well you did well to get her going after the breakdown. So happy to give you some pointers as we work. Eight am okay with you."
"Perfect."
That dealt with it was ring time. So back to the Main Street.
"Jack the phone? What do you want?"
"Well the top of the range Samsung would be fine but there is one with Hasselblad lenses, and much bigger sensors and better cameras. It's an Oppo X8 pro. JB carry them. That would be better."
"I might need to take the car then. Those places are never on the Main Street."
Sophie dropped me off, and left me to navigate to the jewellers.
I was strangely nervous walking down to buy the ring, even though we had already bought it. It was the commitment I think. I hadn't really thought of engagement and ring buying growing up. Although I think girls do. But I certainly had never thought it would be for a Sister.
This was certainly not conventional. In one way it felt like a sham. Window dressing on an illegal relationship. But then, rings are only ever window dressing on relationships. A sign of intended commitment. A bond to the future and a pledge of faithfulness. Okay yep, reason to feel nervous. It was a big step for a nearly twenty year old.
