Sing a Song of Love (10 page)

“Do you want to share a taxi back?”  I asked Jessie
innocently and like a true actress she played along.

Soon as we got into the taxi I pulled her to me and tucked
her under my arm.  The Proclaimers were playing on the radio and I started to
sing ‘I would walk five hundred miles’ into her ear.  My breath must have been
tickling her as she started to giggle and squirm and I pulled her in even
closer.

 “Do you know how wonderful you are?”

“No but I like hearing you say so!”  She had stopped
giggling and looked up at me with those eyes that made time stand still. I
leant down and gently kissed those lips and wondered how I was going to make
this work. 

The taxi pulling up outside our hotel broke the moment and
after paying the fee we made our way up to my room which was very conveniently located
next to hers with connecting doors.  A man has to be prepared!

After closing the door I pulled her to me and started to
slowly kiss her face and her neck as I undid her buttons.  Every time I exposed
more skin I honoured it with kisses until she was naked in front of me.

  She had the body of a Madonna, all creamy pale with
beautiful curves and full hips and breasts.  I pulled the pins out of her hair
and let it cascade down her shoulders and back.

“I have never wanted anyone like the way I want you.” 

I took her hand and led her through to the shower and pulled
my own clothes off before I joined her under the powerful shower jets.  I
lathered up the sponge and started to wash her as her own hands found the soap
and started to wash my chest and back.  A shower had never felt so good and
after a few more minutes of taunting each other with this cleaning ritual my
lips found hers and I felt all my pent up need surge up. 

My hands found her face as I kissed her deeply before
dropping down and drawing her nipples one by one into my mouth.  She held my
head as she arched her back, letting me know how pleasurable it was and I
dropped my hand to her thigh.  With slow massaging circles I slowly made my way
up her leg and was pleased when she opened her legs a little wider to allow me
access.  My hand found her mound and I started to rub it calculatingly so as
not to bring her to orgasm too quickly.  And every now and again I would let my
fingers slip deep into her pussy causing her to moan deliciously.

I was still nipple hopping when I felt her move.  Her hands
slid down me like she was on a pole guiding her lower until I felt her take my
cock in her mouth.  Looking down at her sucking me in and out was almost enough
to make me come. It was so visual that I had to turn the shower off.

“Too good?” she looked up at me grinning and I grinned back
as she totally knew what she was doing to me.

I grabbed a big soft towel and gentle started to dry her,
kissing her as I went lower and lower until I finally got to the place I wanted
to be.  I pushed her against the wall and put her leg over my shoulder before
dropping my mouth to her clit.  She started to moan and I could feel how wet
and turned on she was.  I sucked her in deeper and deeper and then started to
lick her firmly. 

She had me by the head with her hands entwined in my hair
while mine were firmly cupped around her ass so as to pull her to my mouth as I
stroked her with my tongue.  I could feel her getting wetter and the breathing
more ragged and I knew Jessie was about to come. 

I picked her up and carried her to the bed pushing her legs
apart as I dropped between them.  I quickly pulled on a condom and guided my
throbbing dick into her pussy and was delighted at Jessie’s moans of
appreciation.  I pushed in slowly, letting her orgasm build once more while teasing
her nipples back to hardness.

As I quickened the tempo I lifted her legs up onto my
shoulders and pushed in even deeper.  I wet my thumb in her mouth so I could
continue to massage her swollen clit.  Jessie’s moans were getting louder and I
could feel spurts of wetness on my hand and knew her orgasm had started.  I
didn’t need to be told twice and let myself go as well and after a few more
deep strokes I exploded in a strong, long orgasm that was all the sweeter for
having waited.

I pulled the covers over us and drew her close.  So much for
our plan of avoidance!

I felt like a snowball rolling down a snowy mountain,
picking up speed before the eminent crash.  At the moment it was all about the thrill
of the ride but my smarter half was thinking about what happened when we got to
the bottom. 

Mack was stroking my hair while holding me close and it was
easy to forget that when the tour ended so would we.  But what was the
alternative?  Keep fighting the attraction and be miserable for six weeks and
still be miserable when he left or embrace what we had and deal with the consequences
at the end?  I knew now that regardless of what choice I made I would still
miss Mack when he left so option two just made more sense.   I had always
promised myself after losing Joe that I would live life to the full and here
was my chance to do it.

I turned slightly and faced Mack, “So when did you arrange
for interconnecting rooms?” 

Mack looked a bit sheepish as he was considering his reply.

“Last week I rang and altered the room plan.  I know it
looks bad and like I premeditated this but it’s like half of me wants to be a
gentleman and the other half says to hell with it.  Bad case of Jekyll and Hyde
I’m sorry.”

I gave him a lopsided grin, “Don’t worry I get it.  My head
has been playing the same games.  Anyway this feels good.”  And I snuggled back
down enjoying, what for now, was mine.

“Are all kiwi girls this easy going?  You make my previous
girlfriends look right stroppy!” 

I chuckled, “Maybe! So how is this going to work?  I don’t want
to deal with a thousand questions on this.”

“Well I could keep organising interconnecting doors!”

I turned to look at him again, “And you haven’t already?”

“I knew it!”  And I donked him with the closest pillow
before starting to laugh.  He really was insufferable!

I had the best sleep that night and woke up feeling rested
and ready for whatever the day would bring.  Mack was already up and I could
hear him on the phone talking in the next room.  I looked at the clock and saw
that it was nearly nine and jumped out of bed.  Darn we were supposed to
meeting in the lobby in forty minutes to travel to Dunedin. 

I zoomed to my room and hurriedly packed before jumping in
the shower.  I was just drying myself when I heard a low whistle from behind
and turned to see Mack eyeing up my rear as he lazily lent on the frame of the
door.

“Don’t cover up on my behalf.”

I reached up and gave him a morning kiss and was about to
hurry off when he pulled me to him.

“Not so quick sexy.  It will be at least another ten hours
before I get you all to myself again.”

“Got to get ready Mack; you should have woke me earlier.”

“Believe me I wanted to but I didn’t want to risk it in case
you were one of those cranky morning people.  Are you?”  He looked interested
in my reply.

“Only when I’m running late!”  I reached up on tip toes and
gave him another quick kiss.

“Anything I can do.”

“Not really but thanks.  I’ll meet you down in the lobby in
twenty.”

I managed to get everything done and was in the lift heading
to the lobby right on schedule.  When I hopped out I saw Cam waiting with Lance
and wandered over.

“Morning guys.  How was the rest of the party?”

“Josh and I left about an hour after you and Cam was left to
make sure Robbie made it home in one piece!”

I turned to look at Cam, “and did he?”

Cam laughed, “Yeah I lured him away around two with promises
that we would repeat it all again next weekend.  Girl would be different but
everything else the same!”

Lance and I laughed.  “And I thought Robbie was the quiet
one!”

“He has always loved the girls and the girls him!” 

I looked up to see Josh and Robbie walking over and
considering his late night, Robbie didn’t look any the worse for wear.

The flight to Dunedin was uneventful and by two we were
checked in to the hotel which would be home for the three nights.  I smiled as
I saw the interconnecting door and felt a thrill of delight that I would get to
see Mack again later.  This new arrangement was definitely suiting me better!

The next two concerts were an indoor event and were almost
as amazing as the first one.  There was a different atmosphere as the venue was
smaller and more personal and in some ways I even liked it better.  They had an
area in front of the stage where there was room to dance and by the end of the
concert it was a mush pit full of jiggling bodies.  It was an absolute delight singing
to such a receptive crowd and both nights were a resounding success.

By Monday morning I was ready for a sleep in to recharge the
batteries and didn’t head down to breakfast until almost ten.  Mack had already
eaten and was catching up on emails when I left in the hope that we could spend
the afternoon together.  I had never been to Dunedin and I really wanted to
visit the Otago peninsular where the seal and albatross colonies were.

I saw Cam reading a newspaper over coffee and went to join
him.

“Morning, you had a sleep in too.”

Cam put down the newspaper and looked up with a smile, “Hey
Jess, sure did was knackered.  So glad we have a down day and a bit of time to
ourselves.  Got any plans?”

“Want to do a bit of sightseeing. How about you?”

“Lance, Robbie and Josh want to go to St Clair beach for
lunch and then soak in the Hot Salt Water Pools so I was thinking I would tag
along with them.  You want to come too?”

“No I have already organised to go sightseeing with Mack as
he was keen to see the penguin and albatross colonies too.” 

Cam’s eyebrows went up when I mentioned Mack’s name and I
wondered if he had suspicions but if he did he thankfully kept them to himself.

After breakfast I headed back to my room and went through
the connecting doors to see Mack.  He was totally immersed in whatever he was
doing and didn’t look up so I crept over to surprise him.  I was just about to
hug him from behind when he swung around and grabbed me, pulling me onto his
lap. 

Mack stopped my squeal of surprise with a kiss, “Nice try
gorgeous!  Good breakfast?”   He had already slipped his hand under my shirt in
his customary welcome and was talking to me as if nothing was up.  Half of me
wanted to succumb to the sensations but the other half wanted to make the most
of this day of rest, so I jumped off his knee.

“You are incorrigible Mack!”

“Not my fault, it’s inbuilt into my genes!”

I looked at Mack with a mixture of scepticism and confusion
and he added, “That’s how the Highland men would keep their woman warm on the
cold winter nights in the olden days.  Hot, steamy sex!  And lots of it!  Heard
of natural selection?  Well we were given a high sex drive for survival
reasons!  And that’s why we are such great lovers; we have had a lot of
practice!”

I cracked up at that as I had never heard anything so
ridiculous and Mack grinned back.

“Won’t be too much longer.  You figure out how to get there
and by that time I should be done.”

  We headed down to the hotel car park within the hour and
set off for the Peninsular.  It was a lovely clear day, though cool and there
was not a lot of traffic on the way out of the city. 

Dunedin was built on one side of the harbour and on the
other side at the very tip were the penguin and albatross colonies.  We headed
around it until we got to the bay road turn off.  It was a small winding road with
the water on one side and a cliff face on the other.  It was spectacular though
rather precarious for first time drivers but Mack seemed comfortable driving it.

“This kind of road reminds me of home.  In fact Scotland is
a lot like Dunedin in terms of climate and terrain.  It has the same rugged, greenness
about it.  I think you would like it.”

I looked at Mack to see where he was going with this and was
disappointed to see nowhere.  His face looked as if it was far away reminiscing
of home.  I knew he worried a lot about Alina looking after his aging parents
as well as running a big cattle station and I wondered if his thoughts were
there.

We drove in companionable silence absorbing the dramatic
coastline.  It was stunning the way it changed from green rolling hills at the
beginning of the bay to steeper more rugged cliffs by the time we got to the
harbour entrance. 

It took about an hour all up to get to the colonies but it
was well worth the drive.  Both of us enjoyed watching the wildlife immensely
and it was a relief to get away from the noise of the city.

“I read yesterday that there is a castle near here where we
can have lunch.”

“Sounds good, I’m starving.”

It took about twenty minutes to get to Larnach Castle, which
was an imposing stone castle that was set high on the hill overlooking the
harbour.  It had been restored over the last fifty years and was now a tourist
attraction. 

The restaurant was in the summer house overlooking the
gardens and had an aura and presence to it of times gone past. 

“It must have been a solitary existence for the owners back
in the day as it would have been a long trek into Dunedin city.”

“I guess that’s why they had so many rooms; to have enough
guests here to keep them entertained.”

“Different world to what we live in now that’s for sure! 
I’m looking forward to getting to Christchurch tomorrow.  I’ve never been there
either.”

“I’m looking forward to getting home soon.”  Mack was
grinning lecherously and his eyes where slowly roaming everywhere but my face. 
My cheeks started to burn.  Darn I thought I had that under control.
