apologise, it’s just when I see a beautiful
girl like you wasting her time and emotions on an arsehole it makes my blood
boil. You deserve better.’
‘Yes, I do,’ I agreed with a firm voice as I
turned my head and looked out of the window at the blackness surrounding us.
Neither of us spoke for nearly an hour as we made our way off the main roads
and down onto a track with more craters than the moon. I winced as I suddenly shot
up in the air, then slammed back down on the seat.
‘You don’t like it rough?’ he asked with a
chuckle.
‘Not in a Land Rover,’ I laughed as I gripped my
seat trying to go with the flow of the vehicle. ‘Are we nearly there?’
‘Not far and you’ll soon be settled in the warm. I
left a fire going for you in both the lounge and bedroom.’
‘The bedroom?’ I asked, surprised. I didn’t
remember a fire in the mezzanine bed space.
‘It’s always good to be hot in the bedroom,’ he
smiled with another glance at me. ‘You still look cold.’ This time I didn’t
imagine his eyes flicking down to my chest. I looked down and sure enough, my
nipples were still stiff. As I looked at them it was like I suddenly tuned into
my body, ignoring the bumpy ride, and I felt the longing in me, the burning in
them and the slickness oozing from me coating my knickers. Damn, I was so horny
and the thought of getting hot with him in the bedroom was so inviting. I
looked over at his side profile as he drove and reassessed my verdict of his
age. The chin stubble and grey flecks in his hair made him look older than he
was, I reckoned he was in his mid-thirties. I blushed as he looked over and
caught me looking at him again. I stared back at the road and saw that the track
was cutting its way through some tall pine trees which were starting to thin
out. He slowed down and pulled into a small clearing and I could just make out
water, lined with rocks and a jetty.
‘We’re here?’
‘Nearly. We need to take the boat to the island,
it’ll only take a few minutes.’
‘What happens if the lake freezes?’
‘If you know the ice you can navigate your way
across by foot, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a novice, it takes years of
experience to really know what you’re doing.’ He unbuckled and got out of the
car, leaving me wondering why everything he said oozed sex. I slid out and
walked around to the back as he unloaded my case. ‘Come with me,’ he ordered. O
shit, that was one RSVP I didn’t need to think twice about. The thought of my
legs wrapped around those slim hips, my fingers grasping at his pert buttocks
as he pounded me relentlessly in front of the fire, I was confident I could
come with him very easily. I let out an involuntary groan. ‘Are you ok?’
‘A little sore from the journey,’ I smiled. It
wasn’t a total lie. The sound of his footsteps and my heels on the wood of the
jetty was deafening in the virtual silence that surrounded us. All I could hear
was the gentle breeze and the water of the loch licking at its stone borders. I
looked up at the sky and gasped in amazement, I’d never seen so many stars.
‘Beautiful,’ he whispered, I nodded and looked
over at him to see he was looking at me and not at the sky.
‘You don’t see stars like that in London,’ I commented
quickly, thankful for the dark to spare my blushes.
‘London hides many things,’ he replied. I frowned,
wondering what he meant. I heard the hoot of an owl in the distance and looked
up again, feeling more free and unburdened than I had in the last twelve
months. My hunk aside, this was going to be a perfect place to zone out and let
my creativity flow with no distractions. I watched as he elegantly stepped down
into a small open motor boat and deposited my case before holding out his hand
and helping me in. ‘Come and sit here at the back with me, I forgot to put the
wind breaker cover over the bow. You’ll perish in that outfit as we move across
the water.’ He patted the small
