little pang at the idea
anything could happen to Cecily.   He knew
all too well how fast death could strike unexpectedly.   By then they were at the top of the stairs and
he followed her into the fast flowing slide.   Her yips and shrieks delighted him so much he felt like a kid for those
swift moments until they splashed into the deeper area at the bottom.   As he’d promised, Daniel caught her and held
her close for a moment.   He wanted a kiss,
but they couldn’t block the way out so he put an arm around her waist
instead.   “It wasn’t so bad, was it?”
    Her
body trembled but she giggled. “No, I made it.   But let’s do something else.”
    They
strolled around the water park, dripping wet, and when a slight breeze blew
over them it was enough to send a momentary chill through them both.   “We forgot to bring towels,” he said with a
chuckle.   Almost everyone else sported
colorful beach towels, tied around their waist, draped over their shoulders, or
carried.  
    She
shrugged. “If we need some, they’ve got them in the shop over there.   I want to stop and put some sunscreen on or
I’ll get sunburned.   You want some?”
    Daniel
opened his mouth to tell her ‘no’, to explain his thick skin had weathered sun,
cold, and many other elements, but then he considered she might apply it on his
back.   As he imagined her hands rubbing
the cold lotion onto his skin, he changed his mind. “Sure, it’s a good idea.”
    At
the next vacant bench they found, Cecily sat down and poured some creamy white
sunscreen into her hands.   She rubbed
them together and then massaged up her legs.   She smeared some on the tops of her breasts rising out of the suit, on
her throat, shoulders, and face.   Then
she turned away from him and said, “Can you smear it on my back? I can’t reach
it.”
    Cecily
offered temptation and although Daniel thought he should refuse, he didn’t.
“Sure,” he said.   His large hands worked
the lotion into her back, his touch lingering on her light bronze skin.   He couldn’t resist a few caresses and once he
let his fingers slide beneath the fabric to stroke her breast. Although she
didn’t say anything, she leaned back into him and sighed, a soft, happy
sound.   When he’d done all he could, Daniel
handed her the bottle. “Now it’s my turn,” he said.
    “Turn
around, sugar.” Cecily squirted lotion into her hand and rubbed it across his
back.   The cool wetness contrasted with
the hot sun beating down onto his skin.   Her fingers worked it in with deft motions and then she massaged his
shoulders with a confident, capable touch.   Daniel felt his taut muscles ease as she continued.   Tension ebbed as her fingers worked magic,
and he wanted to moan with pleasure.   It
wasn’t quite erotic, but it still felt damn good.   “Oh, God, that’s great,” he said.   Eyes shut tight, he enjoyed
the moment and almost forgot they were in a public place.   When she finished, he failed to notice for a
few moments and then opened his eyes to brilliant sunlight.   Blinded, he stood up. “Thanks.   Let’s float the lazy river.”
    He
grabbed an inner tube at the entrance point and handed her one.   She sat down into the ring and headed down
river into the current.   Daniel parked
his rear on his and followed Cecily.   The
cement channel offered enough depth to keep people afloat without dragging
bottom and just enough momentum to keep moving.   Already relaxed from her massage, Daniel thought the languid float might
put him to sleep.   He struggled to remain
alert as he relished the experience.  
    Ahead
of him, Cecily called back something but he couldn’t make out the words.   They rode the river for a full three loops
before she stood up and mouthed something he didn’t hear.   Then she strode out of the water onto the
edge.   He followed and caught up. “Hey,”
he said.
    She
understood his inquiry. “I’m going to the ladies’,” she said and
