PART ONE

The night was dark. There was only a sliver of a moon showing occasionally through the blanket of clouds in the sky. The stars were barely visible. The air was warm and humid, a typical mid- July evening.

Ariel pulled her car into her driveway after a long day at Sunshine Kids Day Care Center where she worked. The cabin in the woods was dark and surrounded by trees. Ariel loved it. She parked the car and fumbled in her purse for her house keys before leaving the car. She found the key and went to the door. Her big white cat, Angel, was patiently waiting on the porch by the door, meowing. Ariel bent down and scooped up the cat, hugging her gently.

When the door was unlocked and opened, Angel jumped from Ariel's arms and ran into the kitchen to eat. Ariel closed the door, turned on the light switch by the door and kicked off her black high heeled shoes, putting them in the closet by the door. She went in the kitchen and took a bottle of beer from the fridge. She opened it and took a long swallow as she sat on the chair by the table. "What a day, Angel. Those kids were wild today, kitty." she said to the cat, who looked at her and meowed. She sat there for about 15 minutes, drinking her beer. She looked at the clock on the wall, 5:45 pm. She had just over 2 hours before Jack would arrive.

Ariel opened the cabinet door by the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine, putting it on the top shelf in the refrigerator to get cold. She took 2 wine glasses from the cupboard and rummaged around in the utensil drawer for the corkscrew, setting it on the counter by the glasses. With the wine chilling, Ariel went into the livingroom and turned on the stereo to her favorite country station. She walked back through the kitchen and into the bathroom, undressing as she went. 

She took off her blue button-up blouse and long black skirt, tossing them into the laundry hamper. She removed her black lace bra, black lace panties, black fishnet stockings and black garter belt, tossing them into the lingerie basket by the hamper. She pulled out the hairpins that were holding her hair up and placed them on the counter by the sink. She shook out her cloud of chocolate brown hair that fell to her waist. She turned on the water in the shower and stepped into it, closing the curtain.

Ariel let the warm water flow seductively over her smooth skin, which was tanned golden from the sun. It flowed over her ample breasts and pert nipples, over her slightly plump tummy and butt, down over the dark silky curls of her woman's mound and down her long shapely legs to her dainty feet with the toenails painted bright red. She closed her eyes and thought about the night ahead. Her boyfriend Jack would be there at 8:00 sharp. She opened her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall above the toilet: 6:00 pm. Exactly two hours til Jack got there for dinner.

Ariel smiled as she poured shampoo onto her hand and washed her hair, remembering the day she met Jack: She was shopping for a new computer at the local electronics store and he was looking at the one beside the one she was looking at. At first, Ariel thought he was one of the store salesmen, so she asked him, "Excuse me, sir. Could you tell me more about this particular laptop computer? What features it has and all?" 

He replied in a very sensual voice, "Sorry ma'am. I don't work here and I don't know much about that model. You might want to ask one of the guys wearing the green shirts."

At the sound of that silky smooth voice, Ariel looked up to see the most handsome man she'd ever seen. His long shoulder length hair was black as a raven's feathers, with blue highlights where the light touched it. His skin was a golden bronze from being out in the sun a lot. He had high cheek bones, a strong square jaw, and the most beautiful, heart-stopping blue eyes she'd ever seen. They weren't very light, but they weren't very dark either, almost a royal blue color that a person could almost drown in. 

He had broad muscular shoulders, long strong arms and hands that could probably be dangerous as well as gentle. He was wearing a tight white tee shirt with a patch of curly dark chest hair peeking out at the low collar. His chest was well formed, and Ariel could see the small dark bumps of his nipples poking against the thin fabric of the shirt.

Her gaze moved down slowly, taking in the view of his flat 6-pack abs, lean narrow waist, slim muscular hips, thighs and legs which were covered by a pair of tight black denim jeans. He was wearing a pair of black snakeskin cowboy boots. She quickly brought her gaze back up to his face, blushing as her eyes locked with his. He knew by her blushing that she had been checking him out. He extended his hand, smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Jack Coltrane." 

Ariel took his hand and shook it, feeling his strong but gentle grip and said, "I'm Ariel Jones. Nice to meet you, Mr. Coltrane." At the contact of his hand on hers, Ariel felt a tremor of heat move up her arm and down to the pit of her stomach, feeling like a hundred butterflies being released inside of her.

His smile would have knocked her socks off if she had been wearing any. His teeth were perfectly straight and shining brilliantly white in that gorgeously tanned, clean shaven face. Ariel resisted the urge to reach up and run her fingers over those full sensuous lips surrounding those pearly white teeth.

"What am I doing? I just met him. I can't reach up and caress his face like I've known him for years!" she thought to herself. She turned away quickly so he wouldn't see the rosy pink blush creeping up over her face. 

He smiled at her again, then he surprised her by asking, "Would you like to go out for coffee with me sometime?" She was speechless, so she nodded that she would like to. He reached into his back pocket, pulled out his wallet, then removed a card from it. He handed it to her and she read it. It was a business card with his phone number on it. "Call me when you can join me for coffee, ok?" he said with a smile.

She reached into her purse, pulled out a notepad and pen and wrote down her name and phone number. She tore off the page and handed it to him. She said, "Not if you call me first!" Then she gave him her own dazzling smile. they said good bye to each other, made their purchases, and Ariel left the store with her new laptop computer.

PART TWO

That Jack would actually call her within a week was really surprising to Ariel. He called her three days later and they met at a local coffee shop called Café Z. They sat at a corner table drinking coffee and talking about many topics, the weather, sports, music, current events, and their families. They were there for 3 hours enjoying each other's company when Ariel asked him to come to her house for dinner the next night. He accepted right away, saying, "I'll even bring the wine, honey." 

Since the next day was Saturday and Ariel was off from work, she went to the store to get the groceries needed for her dinner with Jack. She decided on Spaghetti and Meatballs, tossed salad, garlic bread, and Lemon Meringue Pie for dessert. She also picked up other items that she needed. She stopped by the drug store and picked up the refill prescription for her birth control pills, a box of condoms and a tube of lube. "Better safe than sorry," she said to herself. She stopped by the florist on her way home and bought a bouquet of assorted flowers for the table arrangement. She hurried home to get everything ready. 

When she got home, she put away the groceries, fed the cat, then set herself to work cleaning every room in her house: the livingroom, kitchen & dining room, bathroom, and her bedroom upstairs in the loft. She took the bearskin rug from in front of the fireplace outside and flopped it over the clothesline in the back yard to air it out. She beat it with a broom to get the dust out of it. She went to the barn and fed her two horses, Cajun, the Quarter Horse gelding and Lady, the Thoroughbred mare. Angel the cat was in the barn hunting for mice, and meowed when Ariel bent to pet her. 

Ariel grabbed a horse brush and went to run it quickly over the bear rug before taking it inside to put back in front of the fireplace. After putting the rug back, Ariel went out to the garden with a basket over her arm. She picked the vegetables needed for the tossed salad: lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, carrots and cucumbers, placing them in the basket. She carried the vegetables inside and washed them. She put them in the refrigerator to chill until she was ready to make the salad. 

She went outside again, grabbed the horse brush and put it back in the barn. She went to the wood pile and got an armload of wood. She took the wood inside and placed it in the woodbox by the fireplace. She put kindling wood in the fireplace just in case she wanted to light a fire after dinner if things went well. She glanced up at the mantle clock: 6:30 pm. An hour and a half til Jack arrived.. She washed her hands and prepared the vegetables for the salad, putting them into a big bowl in the fridge. She got the spaghetti from the cupboard, then put a pot of water on the stove. She took the garlic bread out of the freezer to thaw. 

Ariel looked at the clock again: 6:45 pm. She ran up the stairs to her room, threw open the doors of her closet and decided what to wear. She took out a black leather knee-length skirt with rhinestone studs along the hem and side seams, a red silk shirt with a floral design done in pink rhinestones, and her red spike heel shoes, laying the clothes on the bed and the shoes on the floor by the bed. Then she went to her dresser and took out her red lace and silk bra and the matching panties, black fishnet stockings and her red garter belt, putting them on the bed too. She opened her jewelry box and selected a pearl necklace with matching earrings and bracelet, setting them on the dresser. 

With her clothes and jewelry selected, she went back downstairs to the bathroom and took her shower. The clock said 7:25 pm. Thirty-five minutes left to get ready. She hurried through her shower, toweled off and applied her perfume and cosmetics. She dried and styled her hair into a mass of shiny dark brown curls and waves that tumbled over her shoulders and down her back. Wrapping a fluffy towel around her naked body, she went back to her bedroom and dressed. Then she double-checked to make sure she had the condoms and lube and other necessities in the drawer of her night stand before going downstairs. It was now 7:45 pm. 

She turned on the burner under the pot of water for the pasta. Then Ariel put a bright yellow tablecloth on the table, placing the vase of flowers in the center and two long yellow taper candles on either side of the flowers. She set out the plates and silverware, napkins and wine glasses, then checked the water and added the pasta. 

She went into the livingroom, put on a cd of soft rock music and made sure there were matches on the mantle for the fireplace. As she was coming back into the kitchen to stir the pasta, she heard a car pull into the driveway. Ariel looked out the window by the door and saw Jack getting out of his car, a 1974 candy apple red Chevy Nova, her favorite kind of car. He had a bottle of wine in one hand and a long white box in the other. 

She opened the door and met him on the porch. He leaned down, kissed her on the cheek and said, "You look beautiful tonight, Ariel." as he flashed that gorgeous smile at her. 

She smiled back and said, "Thank you Jack. You look very handsome yourself. Come on inside. Dinner's almost ready." Jack gave Ariel the wine and they went inside.

xPART THREE

Ariel went into the kitchen to stir the pasta, which was almost done. She put the wine in the freezer to chill. Jack came into the kitchen and placed the long white box on the table. He walked up behind Ariel and slid his hands around her waist, pulled her close and kissed her neck. Ariel laughed and gently pushed Jack away, saying with a laugh, "Dinner's gonna burn if you continue doing that! Here, make yourself useful and toss the salad." She handed him the salad tongs and he took the salad out of the refrigerator. Ariel put the garlic bread in the oven, then drained the pasta. She put the pasta in a bowl and sat it on the counter. 

Then she poured the hot sauce and meatballs into another bowl, setting it beside the pasta on the counter. Jack placed the salad on the table, then he put the bowls of pasta and sauce on there too. Ariel took the bread from the oven, put the hot slices on a plate and put it on the table. "Jack, could you please get the grated cheese and salad dressing from the fridge and the wine from the freezer for me?" she asked him. He smiled and got them for her, setting them on the table.

Before they sat down to eat, Jack took Ariel's hand and handed her the long white box. It was tied with a big red ribbon. She untied it and removed the top of the box. Ariel moved the white tissue paper aside to reveal a dozen long-stemmed pink roses and a small white envelope. Jack said, "Go ahead, read the card, baby." Ariel opened the envelope and removed the card which read, "Ariel, Thank you for becoming a special part of my live. May we have many special moments together. Sincerely yours, Jack C."

Ariel looked up at Jack with tears in her eyes and said, "No one has ever given me such beautiful roses, Jack. Thank you very much...." Before Ariel could say anything more, Jack smiled and leaned down, wrapping his arms around her tightly, pulling her up hard against his body. He kissed her so gently and passionately that her knees grew weak and she almost collapsed against him. When Jack finally broke the kiss, they were both breathing hard. Ariel's hazel eyes were darkened with her desire to a beautiful cocoa brown, and his had darkened to a deep cobalt blue. 

As Ariel was standing there against him, she could feel the proof of his desire pressing against her belly and she looked away quickly before Jack could see her blushing. Jack could tell she was nervous, so with a husky voice, he said, "Let's sit down and eat before this delicious meal gets cold." She nodded and sat down as Jack pulled her chair out for her. He sat in his chair and Ariel served dinner. Jack lit the candles for her and poured the wine. While they were eating, they talked about many topics, but always came back to former relationships that they'd been through. They sat there at the table for over an hour talking and laughing.

Ariel suggested going into the livingroom with the wine and dessert. Jack said with a wink, "Baby, I'm not quite ready for dessert yet." She blushed again. He helped her put away what was left of dinner, and clean up the kitchen. He washed the dishes for her as she dried them and put them away in the cupboards. Jack picked up the wine bottle and the 2 glasses, then followed Ariel in to the livingroom. He put them on the coffee table in front of the couch as Ariel sat down. He asked her, "Could I put in some country music on the stereo, honey?" 

She said, "Yes you can. Take your pick, I have lots of country cd's on the shelf there." He looked through her cd's and found one, put it in the cd player and pressed the play button.

He sat beside her on the couch. Ariel turned to him and said, "That's my favorite cd, Jack." 

He smiled and said, "Mine too, Ariel. We have the same taste in music, I see." 

She nodded her head and smiled, then said, "Jack, you know something? I feel as if I've known you for years, even though we just met a week ago. You are so easy to talk to, Jack. There's just something about you that I'm really attracted to." 

Jack smiled, chuckled and said, "I feel the same way, honey."

He took her hand in his and turned it over, palm up. He raised her hand and placed a tender kiss on her palm. Ariel flushed a bright pink as her heart seemed to skip a beat and her pulse started to speed up. Jack looked up at her face, looked deep in her eyes and knew at that moment, he wanted to be with Ariel forever. He pulled her close and his mouth swooped down and covered hers in a searing, toe-curling, soul-shattering kiss full of passion. His tongue danced a duel of love with hers until they were both gasping for breath.

When he leaned back and looked at her, he saw the desire in her eyes. He took her hands and pulled her up off the couch. He pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her and they started swaying to the music. Ariel wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him tenderly, then pressed her soft cheek to his, feeling the stubble of his beard against her skin. Jack leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Can we go to your bedroom, baby?" 

She nodded, saying, "Uh huh, Let's go, honey."

PART FOUR

Ariel stepped away, took Jack's hand and grabbed the wine bottle. He grabbed the glasses and they went into the kitchen, then Ariel led him up the stairs to her bedroom. She placed the bottle and glasses on the dresser. Then she walked over to her bookshelf and turned on her stereo to some soft rock music. When she turned around, Jack was sitting on the bed smiling at her. She smiled back at him then walked to the bed and sat beside him. He leaned over and kissed her tenderly. 

Jack unbuttoned her blouse and slowly pushed it off her shoulders. He nibbled her ear and his mouth slid down to kiss her neck. Jack raised his head to look at Ariel. He took her hand, placed it on the bulge in the front of his pants and said, "See what you do to me, baby? I want you so bad right now, and I'm trying hard not to rip those pretty clothes from you and ravish that sexy body of yours, honey." Ariel was speechless. All she could manage was a soft moan and a barely seen nod.

That was all Jack needed to proceed. He swiftly removed the rest of Ariel's clothes and laid her back in the middle of the bed. Ariel's heart was beating rapidly at the thought of what was to come. Jack stood by the bed looking down at her in all her naked glory. The lights from the candles on the dresser and night stands cast her body in a golden glow and brought out the red and amber highlights in her hair. Jack inhaled deeply then released the breath in a big gush of air.

Ariel stared openly at Jack as he quickly undressed and laid on the bed beside her, pulling her close to him. She could feel his hard maleness throbbing against her hip as his hands moved over the heated flesh of her tummy, her muscles flinching at the gentle touch of his fingers. His hand moved up to cup the fullness of her breasts, rolling the pert nipples between his thumb and finger. Ariel closed her eyes tight against the delicious sensations coursing through her body from the sensuous movements of Jack's fingers and hand.

Jack's head dipped down and his tongue flicked out to caress her nipples. Ariel moaned and arched her back, pressing her breasts closer to his mouth. He opened his mouth, drawing her nipple into it and sucking hungrily. He gave the same attention to her other breast and nipple too. Ariel's hands moved up into his hair, pressing him closer to her breast. His hand left her breasts to slowly slide down her ribs and tummy, to the triangle of dark silky curls atop her thighs. His hand cupped her secret area and rubbed gently, causing her to lift her hips closer to his hand. Jack slowly slipped his finger into the moistness of her flesh and began to stroke her slowly. Ariel moaned and closed her eyes as Jack slid a finger deep inside her hot wet hole.

She gasped at the first sensation of his finger in there, then he started moving it in and out, slowly at first, then slipping in a second finger and moving them faster, her hips moving in rhythm with his hand. He could feel her muscles quiver and tighten around his fingers as the first orgasm overtook her like a tidal wave. Ariel thought that his touch on her flesh was like liquid fire coursing through her veins as the orgasm hit her. She was panting hard and moaning softly at the exquisite torture he was causing.


Love's True Obsession



Jack pulled his fingers and hand out from between her legs and looked at his fingers. They were wet with her love juices. He licked his fingers, then kissed her deeply so she could taste herself on his tongue and lips. He pulled her up to a sitting position, then sat up on his knees in front of her. Jack asked her, "Do you want to touch me like I touched you, honey?" 

She said, "Yes Jack. I do. I want to touch you and I want to taste you like you did with me." He smiled, then laid on the bed as she moved up onto her knees beside him.

Ariel reached out with her hand, gently caressing his throbbing member and Jack groaned. She leaned forward and gently kissed his chest, leaving fiery kisses on his nipples. She made a trail of hot kisses from his chest, down his ribs, over his tummy to his navel. She dipped her tongue into his belly button and giggled as his muscles flinched. She did that a few more times, then her kisses continued downward toward her goal. She gently raised up the head of his shaft and kissed the tip. Ariel looked up at Jack and asked, "Is that good?" He groaned and nodded his head. Ariel summoned up her courage and flicked the head with her tongue tip, then swirled her tongue around it. She opened her mouth and leaned forward, taking his hard length almost completely into her mouth before closing her lips around it.

Jack put his hands on her head and started moving his hips, making love to her mouth. She continued to stroke his cock with one hand and fondled his balls with her other hand. Jack groaned and growled like a bear, eyes closed and jaw clenched. Suddenly he pulled out of her mouth, pushed her hands down and started stroking his cock. Within seconds, he reached his release and shot his load of hot sticky cum all over her face and chest. She licked some of it off her face with her tongue.

He pushed her back onto the bed, spreading her legs apart and kneeling between them. Jack leaned over and kissed her deeply. They both could taste each other's love juices and it turned them on even more. Ariel could feel the head of his still hard shaft pressing against her wet opening. He gently and slowly pressed into her until he was fully enclosed by her tight sheath. Jack knew she wasn't a virgin, since she had told him during dinner. When he was completely inside her, Jack stopped momentarily to allow her to get used to the feeling of him inside her since it had been months since she had been with a man.

PART FIVE 

"Are you ok, honey? Am I hurting you?" Jack asked. 

Ariel said, "I'm fine, Jack. It doesn't hurt at all. In fact, it feels wonderful! Love me Jack! NOW!" Jack smiled and kissed her as he started moving inside her, slowly in and out, almost withdrawing all the way before plunging back into her completely. Ariel drew her legs up, wrapped them around his waist and locked her ankles behind his back, giving him deeper penetration. 

He leaned down and took one of her nipples into his mouth, licking, sucking and nibbling on it. He gave equal attention to her other breast as his hands cupped her bottom, pushing himself as deep as he could go. Ariel wrapped her arms around Jack, holding him tight against her and whispering over and over in his ear, "Oh God yes, love me Jack! Love me!!" A loud moan escaped from her and Jack could feel her muscles around his shaft start to quiver and convulse as another orgasm overtook her, an electrical current flashing through her body like a bolt of lightening in a storm. 

XxJack continued the hard, deep thrusting, feeling his release closing in on him. Within a moment or two, Ariel felt his body stiffen as he let out an animal-like growl of pleasurable release as he spilled himself deep within her hot, wet sheath of love. Ariel's body quivered again with the throbbing of Jack's release within her. He collapsed on her, breathing heavily, his body still joined intimately with hers. He propped himself up on his elbows and looked into her eyes, smiling. 

"Damn, baby! That was even better than I had hoped. Thank you my love, for giving me such great pleasure!" Jack said just before he kissed Ariel. 

She smiled at him and said, "Wow, that was wonderful, honey. I've never had three orgasms during one lovemaking session! I am so happy, Jack. Thank you darling." Then she kissed him back so passionately that when the kiss was broken, they were both gasping for breath. 

Jack rolled off her, withdrawing himself from the warmth of her body and laid beside her. She moved closer to him, laying her head on his shoulder as her hand toyed idly with the hairs on his chest. She sighed deeply, causing him to look down into her face and ask, "What are you thinking, baby? You seem to be a thousand miles away, with that serious look on your face, even though you're smiling." 

She lifted her gaze to his and said, "I'm just so happy right now. I don't want this to end between us, ever. I want you to stay here with me, Jack. Move in with me, baby, please?" He looked surprised, yet relieved at the boldness of her statement. He had thought at first that she was joking, but the look on her face told him she was serious. He smiled and kissed her adorable little nose. 

He told her, "You know what, baby? I had the feeling you might say something like that after I made love to you. I just happen to have a duffel bag outside in my car with clothes to last me a few days, if you're sure you want me to stay here with you." 

Ariel looked up into Jack's eyes and said, "Yes Jack, I do want you to stay with me. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't, my love." Then she reached up and kissed him deeply. 

They made love again, then fell asleep in each others arms, happily satisfied. They made love again twice more during the night. In the morning, Jack woke up before Ariel did. He propped up on one elbow and watched her sleep. Her breathing gently raised and lowered the silky smooth mounds of her breasts, which were partially covered by the sheet. Her thick eyelashes were fanned out on her cheeks like dark angel wings on a peachy pink cloud. Her lips were full and slightly parted in a sweet smile, as if she were having a happy dream. Her waist-length chestnut hair was spread out across her pillow like chocolate silk on a pink cloud. 

Jack couldn't resist picking up a long curl of that silky hair and sliding it between his fingers, loving the soft, smooth texture. He inhaled the scent of her hair, lavender with a touch of rose. He closed his eyes and savored the delicious aroma before smoothing her hair back across her pillow. Jack pulled the sheet up over her, kissed her lightly on the cheek and carefully got out of bed. He slid on his boxers and t-shirt before going downstairs to use the bathroom. He went in to the bathroom and used the toilet, then wet a washcloth and washed his face and groin area. After rinsing the washcloth and hanging it on the towel bar to dry, he went into the kitchen. 

Jack found the coffee and put on a pot to brew. He heard meowing at the front door, so he opened it. Ariel's cat meowed at him before running into the kitchen to eat. Since he was at the door, Jack decided to go out to his car and get his bag from the back seat. He went back inside, closed the door, and placed his bag by the stairs to take up there later. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and listened for a moment. No sound. "Ariel must still be sleeping." he said to the cat, who was sitting on the bottom step licking her paw, "Do you think she'll like having breakfast in bed, kitty?" 

"Meoww-oowww" was the cat's answer. 

Jack smiled and said, "I'll take that as a 'yes', Angel." 

PART SIX 

So Jack went to the refrigerator, took out what he needed to make breakfast, and sat everything on the stove. He opened the cupboard to get 2 frying pans, putting them on the stove. He opened the package of bacon that he took from the fridge, separated the slices and put them in one pan over low heat to cook. While the bacon was cooking, he poured a cup of coffee and sat at the table, looking out the window at two horses grazing in the pasture behind Ariel's house.. 

He glanced toward the stairs to see if the cat was there. She wasn't, so he turned back to the window. He was so engrossed in watching the horses that he never heard Ariel until she said, "Are you going to stir the bacon or let it burn, honey?" He jumped, startled, and almost spilled his coffee. He looked at her, standing at the bottom of the stairs wearing only a thin cotton robe in a startling shade of red that brought out the fiery red highlights in her waist-length brown hair, which was tangled from sleep. 

Ariel thought to herself, "Wow!!! He looks so fine sitting there in his underwear and t-shirt! It's like God made him just for me! Thank you ever so much, God!" and she smiled, her cheeks still rosy from sleep. 

Jack stood up and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her deeply before saying, "Good morning beautiful." 

She said, "Good morning handsome! You better stir that bacon before it burns, honey." Then she pulled out of his arms, walked over to the coffee pot and poured herself a cup of coffee, adding sugar, creamer, and a little bit of vanilla extract to her cup. She went to the table and sat down.. 

He walked to the stove and stirred the bacon, then came back to the table and sat down with Ariel. He leaned over and kissed her again then sat back in his chair and said, "I was going to make you breakfast in bed, baby. But you woke up and came downstairs, spoiling my surprise." 

"Angel woke me up." she said. 

"Angel? Oh, the cat, right?" he asked. 

"Yes, my cat, silly!" she replied. Jack blushed slightly and Ariel said, "It's ok babe. She jumped up on the bed and started purring in my ear, and that's what woke me up." 

Jack smiled and said, "I better finish making your breakfast, honey." Then he walked to the stove, turned on the burner under the other pan and added some butter to it. He cracked 4 eggs into the pan and let them cook, flipping them after a couple minutes. Ariel made the toast, and set the table for them. She took a jug of fruit juice from the refrigerator and poured some in each glass on the table. Jack took the bacon from the pan and drained it on some paper towels, then put the plate of bacon on the table. He carried the pan of eggs to the table and put two eggs on each plate, then put the pans in the sink. Jack grabbed the coffee pot and the sugar, creamer, and Ariel's vanilla and put them on the table, then sat down. Ariel placed some bacon and toast on his plate, then on hers. 

They sat eating in silence for a few minutes before Jack asked, "Are those your horses out there in the pasture?" 

Ariel smiled and said, "Yes they are. Their names are Cajun and Lady. Cajun is the big brown Quarter Horse gelding with the white stripe down his face. Lady is the Thoroughbred mare with the white front leg. Cajun used to be a stock pony, but he threw a shoe and came up lame. I bought him from a horse auction and now he's a good trail horse. Lady used to be a racer, but was retired two years ago when I bought her from her previous owner who was gonna destroy her. Now I use her for trail riding and horse shows." 

Jack nodded and said, "Sounds like you've made a good home for them here, baby. I'd love to go riding with you sometime if you feel up to it." 

She smiled at him and nodded, "That would be lots of fun, Jack. I know some good trails around here too. One leads to a private pond where there's a lean-to and firepit for people and a small corral for the horses. I go there sometimes to go swimming during the summer." Jack noticed that as she nodded her head, tendrils of her hair slipped down over her shoulder to cover one breast that was trying to reveal itself from the confines of her thin, almost transparent robe. 

Jack saw her nipples harden under his gaze and he swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down rapidly. He could feel the blood pulsing through his groin, and shifted in his chair. Ariel looked at his face and saw the raw spark of desire shining there in his eyes as her heart sped up and her cheeks pinkened. Suddenly Jack stood up, took Ariel's hand and pulled her to her feet. He kissed her so deeply and passionately that within seconds, her knees were going weak. Jack could feel her start to sway, so he bend down and scooped her up, one hand behind her back, the other under her knees. He carried her to the couch, laid her down and untied the belt holding her robe closed. 

The robe slid open, revealing a pair of golden-tanned, lush perky breasts just begging for his touch upon their creamy smoothness. The dark curls below her tummy were also fully visible, since she wasn't wearing any panties. Jack groaned as he leaned down and kissed Ariel deeply. His tongue traced the line of her full pouty lips, teasing them into opening. When her lips parted, he slid his tongue in and explored the sweetness of her mouth. His tongue caressed hers in an erotic dance of the senses. He could taste the juice and coffee she had with her breakfast, just as she could on his tongue. 

As Jack kissed her, his hands began exploring the silky smoothness of her ample breasts, cupping, caressing, kneading them gently as his thumbs brushed lightly over her nipples, causing them to harden quickly under that exquisite torture. Ariel moaned, a low sound that seemed similar to the purr of a cougar or tigress, very low and animal-like, Jack thought. She arched her back and his hands stopped their teasing dance upon her breasts.

PART SEVEN 

Suddenly, Jack's mouth was on her left breast, sucking hungrily upon her sweet, tender nipple. He gave equal attention to the right breast and nipple as his hand caressed her tummy in slow lazy circles, moving slowly toward her secret treasure hidden beneath that patch of dark curls at the juncture of her thighs. His fingertips grazed over the soft silky curls and he heard her gasp. He smiled as his hand cupped her treasure trove of sweetness. His fingers gently opened her, then slid into her wetness, rubbing tenderly across her swollen clit. 

Ariel moaned as he slid two fingers deep inside her and began moving them in and out of her hot sheath. Jack kissed Ariel deeply as his hand and fingers worked their magic on her body. Her hands slid up and cupped his face. She looked into his eyes and said, "Jack, please don't ever leave me. When I saw you in that store, I somehow knew that I had found my soul mate. I know that we haven't known each other long, but I feel like I've known you my whole life. I love you, Jack, and I want to be with you always." 

Jack was not surprised at all by her confession, and he told her, "Ariel, my love, I feel exactly the same way. I won't ever leave you, darling." Then he moved between her legs and pressed his stiff member deep inside her, slowly making love to her as he suckled on her breasts. She arched her back to press closer to him and raised her hips in time with his long slow thrusts. He started picking up speed, moving faster and deeper within her sheath, feeling the muscles start to contract around his throbbing shaft as her orgasm came upon her. He stopped moving for a few moments. Ariel looked at him questioningly and he said, "Honey, I want this to last awhile. No need to make you cum yet, baby. It'll be great that way, you'll see." She smiled and nodded her head, trying to catch her breath. 

After a few moments, Jack began moving within her again, this time going faster, harder and deeper than before, wanting Ariel to soar to the heavens with her orgasm along with him. After a few minutes, he felt her body start to tremble and the muscles of her love canal began to quiver. He knew she was almost to the high point of her orgasm, so he began moving faster in her hot wet love hole. She was moaning loudly and her fingernails were digging into the skin of his back, over his shoulder blades. He could feel his release coming ever closer to the edge, and within a minute or two, he was exploding deep within her, spilling his hot sticky love juice in her wetness. 

He collapsed on the couch beside her, his member still throbbing within her. He kissed her deeply and held her tight, running a strand of her hair through his fingers. 

"Baby, let's go take a shower together, then saddle up the horses and go for a ride." he said to her. 

She said, "Ok Jack. I'll run upstairs and get our clothes, unless you want to dress up in my room." 

He said, "Upstairs is fine, sweetheart." then he withdrew from her and helped her up from the couch. They went into the bathroom, took a shower and made love again, then dried off and went upstairs to get dressed. Ariel pulled on her black silk panties and bra, a pair of black jeans and a black t-shirt with a white horse on it. Jack pulled on a pair of blue boxers, a white t-shirt with a Harley motorcycle on it, and a pair of blue jeans. He grabbed a pair of socks from his bag, and Ariel took a pair of socks from her drawer, then they went downstairs. 

They sat on the couch and put on their socks, then Ariel got her boots from the closet while Jack put his boots on. Then he went out to the barn. Ariel brushed and braided her hair while she waited for Jack to come back inside. She grabbed her fanny pack from the closet and tucked her little first aid kit and her cell phone in it. She packed a picnic lunch into the picnic basket and put a picnic blanket, 2 towels, and a roll of toilet paper into a backpack. After she finished packing the bag, she looked out the window to see Jack in the pasture, 2 lead ropes in his hand. He walked up to Lady and attached her rope, then tried to get Cajun. Cajun would run away, turn around and stamp his hoof whenever Jack got close. Ariel watched him with the horse, and laughed, realizing that she had forgotten to tell Jack the way to catch Cajun easily. 

She ran outside to the garden, picked 2 carrots, then walked to the gate. "Jack! Come here for a second, honey! I forgot to tell you how to catch Cajun." she yelled. He led Lady over to her, handing him the leadrope. She broke a carrot in half and gave it to him. "You need to lure him close to you with a carrot, Jack. Put half of it in your pocket and hold the other half in your hand so he can eat it while you snap on the lead." she told him. 

"Ok honey. I'll try it." he said before he kissed her and walked back out to the pasture where Cajun was.

PART EIGHT

Cajun's ears swivelled forward as he slowly walked toward Jack, who had stopped walking. As the horse approached, Jack held his hand a little closer to himself so Cajun would come close enough to hook on the lead rope. As Cajun took the carrot, Jack hooked the rope onto his halter. The horse jerked his head but did not try to run away. Jack gave him the other carrot half and led him to the barn to be saddled. As he led Cajun to the barn, he saw that Ariel had Lady saddled already and was fastening a cooler sack to the back of the saddle. "What's in the cooler, baby?" Jack asked her. 

"Oh, nothing much, dear. Just some sandwiches, fruit, cheese, and soda for a picnic lunch. Can u fasten this back pack to your saddle for me, honey?" she replied, smiling at him. 

"I sure can, honey. What's in here?" he asked. 

"The picnic basket, four towels, the first aid kit and my cell phone, and a roll of toilet paper, just in case." she said with a wink.

"Towels, huh baby? You planning on getting wet somewhere during this ride?" he asked her. 

"Well, I do know of a place where we can stop for a swim, honey. And some other fun there too, Jack." she said. He finished saddling Cajun, tied on the backpack, and they mounted up after Ariel locked the door of the house. 

"Lead the way, darling." Jack said. They rode out, following a trail south. Along the way, they talked and laughed at funny stories each told about embarrassing dates or other things. Ariel pointed out different places along the trail and where other trails crossed it.




Love's True Obsession



At one point where another trail crossed with the one they were on, they stopped to watch a white-tailed deer and her fawn walking on the trail. Jack took that opportunity to come alongside Ariel and lean over to kiss her deeply. "I've been waiting for the chance to do that since we left the house, honey." he said huskily. 

She smiled and said, "We'll turn right at the next trail crossing, honey. There's a lean-to shed there by a pond in a clearing off the trail there where we can have lunch and go for a swim. There's an old corral there too where the horses can be put." Her voice was deep and Jack could tell that she was getting excited at the thought of making love in that lean-to or in the pond.

They rode on for about ten more minutes before turning right from the "Elm Trail" onto the "Maple Trail." Ariel explained that all the trails in the area were named after trees: Elm, Maple, Pine, Oak, Cedar, Sycamore, Poplar, Red Maple, and Willow. About a half hour later, they turned left, rode for about five minutes, and came to the clearing that Ariel told him about. They rode to the right where the corral was, and dismounted from the horses and unsaddled them. Jack led them into the corral while Ariel untied the backpack from his saddle, and the cooler from hers, carrying them to the lean-to on the left side of the clearing.

Jack looked around the clearing as he put the horses in the corral. The corral was on the right side of the clearing and had a pole fence. It was about 100 feet long and 50 feet wide and had a bunch of trees at one end for shade. There was an old barrel there for water and a bucket hanging on one of the posts, probably to use for hauling water from the pond for the horses. He closed the gate and picked up both saddles, carrying them to the lean-to. Ariel was bent over, rolling out the blanket onto the floor of the lean-to. Her jeans were pulled tight across her butt and Jack had all he could do to hold back from rushing to her and ripping her pants off her and taking her then and there. 

He looked away from the object of his desire, and surveyed the rest of the clearing. There was a fire pit about 30 feet in front of the building with stumps placed in a circle around it. There was a pond fed by a stream in the center of the clearing. He walked over to the pond and stuck his hand in the water. It was cool, but not too cold. "Just right for swimming." Jack thought. Then he went back to the lean-to. Ariel was sitting on the edge of the lean-to, beside the steps, just smiling at Jack as he was at the pond. He was very curious about the thoughts running through that beautiful head of hers. He would soon find out.

PART NINE

Jack grabbed the saddles and carried them into the lean-to, placing them in the corner. Ariel came in and bent over the cooler bag, about to unpack the lunch she had brought. Jack stopped her. He was breathing hard and Ariel could see the rather sizable bulge straining against the front of his jeans. She smiled at him as he said, "Lunch can wait, baby. I want you right now!" She put the cooler aside and stood up. Ariel slowly took the braids out of her hair, tossing the hair bands to Jack, who put them in a pocket on the backpack. She shook her hair out and Jack thought she looked like the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. She looked at him, smiling with a seductive twinkle in her eyes. She slowly reached down and took off her boots and socks, setting them aside.

Her shirt was next to come off as her hands slowly slid down her belly to the bottom hem of her t-shirt and pulled it up over her head, her hair spilling free of the black cotton. She slowly slid her hands down over her black silk covered breasts, down her tummy to the waistband of her jeans. Jack took a deep breath and shifted his position on the blanket where he was sitting. Ariel smiled, knowing that he was getting aroused even more from watching her. She unbuttoned her jeans, turned her back to Jack and slowly slid the pants down her long silky smooth legs. When she bent over to pull the pants off, Jack lost control! 

He quickly stripped off his clothes and shoes, tossing them on top of his saddle. Then he was behind Ariel, wrapping his arms around her as he pulled her tight against his hard throbbing arousal. She turned her head to look at him and smiled as she teasingly wiggled her bottom against him. He growled then turned her around, hugging her tightly as his mouth came down to capture hers in a kiss that could paralyze her senses to everything except the feel of his lips against hers, his tongue dueling with hers. His hands caressed her back, unhooking her bra, slipping it off her shoulders and dropping it on the floor. His hand came around to cup her breast, his thumb and fingers rolling the nipple to hardness as jolts of pleasure coursed through her.

He teased the nipple and heard her moan, a sound almost like the purr of a content cat. Jack did the same thing to her other breast and nipple, and she moaned again, louder this time. He kissed her again, then his mouth moved down to take over where his hands left off on her breasts. Ariel lifted her hands to his head, tangling her fingers in his long, blue-black hair as his tongue danced on her nipples. He pulled her down to lay on the blanket, then sat up and slowly slid his hands up her legs to the waistband of her panties. He pulled them off her, tossing them aside.

His hands slid back up her legs, caressing her feet, ankles, calves, knees and thighs lovingly. His fingers lightly brushed the damp curls of her womanhood. Ariel spread her legs to allow him better access to her and he laid on his belly, his shoulders between her knees, his face close to her secret area. He blew a gentle breath on her dampness and she gasped with delight. Jack's fingers gently stroked the lips of her woman flesh, spreading them open to reveal the treasure he was seeking. He held her open with one hand while he stroked the fingers of his other hand over the heated moistness in front of his face.

Jack breathed deeply of her musky scent as his fingers teased and stroked her hot flesh. His tongue crept closer to that hard little bud of her desire, flicking it enticingly. Ariel gasped and moaned with the exquisite torture of his tongue. She lifted her legs, spread them wide and placed her feet on his shoulders as he continued to lick her mound with his tongue. He slipped a finger into her hot wetness, stroking gently over her g-spot. Ariel's hips began to quiver and gyrate as he slipped a second finger inside her, stroking faster. He felt her muscles start to contract around his fingers as she reached her climax. Hot sticky love juices gushed from her hole around his fingers. He pulled his fingers out and his tongue took their place, licking and stroking, moving in and out of her wet honeyed sweetness. He showed her with his tongue what he would be doing with the other hardened part of his sleek, muscular body.

Ariel climaxed again from Jack's tongue loving her. He sat up, leaned over her and kissed her deeply. She could taste her juices on his tongue and it really turned her on even more than she already was. She pushed him up and she sat on her knees. He fell back on his butt with a thud and she giggled. He laughed also. She pushed back on his shoulders so he was laying down, then knelt between his legs and leaned over him, planting little kisses over his chest and moving slowly down over his stomach. As she approached his throbbing shaft, she glanced up at him and smiled. She kissed all around him without touching his shaft, and he groaned. 

Her hand started fondling his scrotum, massaging gently. His erection bounced against his belly in anticipation. She gently wrapped her hand around it and started stroking it slowly. She said, "You're so hard, and yet soft at the same time. Like silk over steel, honey." Then her tongue flicked out and started caressing the head of his thick long throbbing shaft. It swirled around and around several times before going down the full nine inch length of him and back up again.

Jack growled as she took him into her mouth, closing her lips tight around him. She sucked and stroked him until his hips started bucking into her face. He was breathing hard and had his eyes closed tight, loving the feeling of her mouth on his penis. She could sense that he was ready to explode with his orgasm, so she withdrew her mouth and began stroking him really hard and fast. As she felt the throbbing of his release beneath her hands, she leaned down with her tongue at the tip of his shaft as he shot his seed into her open mouth.

PART TEN

Ariel smiled at Jack and he could see his seed running down her chin and dripping onto her chest as she sat up. He reached over and unzipped the backpack, removing the roll of toilet paper. He smiled as he handed it to Ariel and she unrolled some of it, using it to wipe her face and chest before tossing it aside. Then she climbed up on top of Jack, her legs straddling his stomach, her breasts hanging over his chest as she leaned down and kissed him. Jack could taste himself on her tongue as they kissed, and since the taste of her wetness was still in his mouth, the flavors combined in the kiss to drive him wild. 

He grabbed her hips, pushing her backwards a bit and thrusting his still-hard shaft deep into her hot wetness, causing her to gasp with pleasure as he drove himself into her with wild abandonment. Her breathing became gasps for breath as his movements became more frenzied. His intense thrusting rapidly sent her soaring to clouds of erotic pleasure like none she had seen before with any other man. Suddenly he rolled her over onto her back, continuing to thrust his fierce shaft deep into her hot wet flesh. Jack could feel her vaginal muscles start to tremble as another strong orgasm overtook her just moments before he found his own orgasmic release deep within her hot sheath of love.

He collapsed on her, breathing hard and covered with drops of sweat. He rested his head on her chest, heating her rapid heartbeat gradually slow down to normal. She brushed a lock of sweat-dampened hair back from his cheek and kissed his forehead. She said very softly, "I love you, Jack." 

He looked up into her tear-dampened eyes and said, "I love you too, Ariel honey. What are these tears for, baby? Don't cry, sweetie. I'm not going anywhere, ever baby." 

Ariel wiped her hand across her cheeks to get rid of the tears and said, "Oh, I know that. I'm just crying because I'm so happy that I found you. No one has made me feel this happy in years, Jack. I hope this feeling lasts forever." He smiled and kissed her as he pulled himself from her body and lay beside her.

She snuggled close to him, resting her head on his shoulder and her hand on his chest. Her skin was glistening with perspiration and the mass of her dark chocolatey hair was spread over his arm like a sheet of silk. He kissed her forehead and said, "How about a swim to cool off, baby? Then we can eat that delicious lunch you packed for us." She nodded then sat up while he pulled two towels from the backpack. He stood up, then pulled her up to her feet, handing her one of the towels, which she wrapped around her beautiful naked body. He wrapped the other towel around his waist. They walked hand-in-hand to the bank of the pond, dropped the towels and plunged into the cool refreshing water.

Ariel swam to the deepest part of the pond. Jack watched her and thought that she looked like a dark haired mermaid or water nymph, totally content in the water and very happy, gliding smoothly through the clear water. She stopped and turned to face him, treading water to keep her head above the surface. Her hair was a dark shiny mass floating on the surface of the pond and her cheeks were still slightly flushed from their intense lovemaking just minutes before. "Baby, you are so damned beautiful!" Jack said to her. She smiled then swam away, diving under the water. Her bare butt came up out of the water as she dove under and Jack laughed.

While she was still under water, Jack dove in. He swam under water toward Ariel, thinking to come up under her and nip at either her thigh or butt. Ariel came up to the surface and looked around for Jack. She didn't see him. All she saw was some ripples in the water where he had been before she dove underwater. Just as she yelled his name, she felt hands on her butt and a mouth on her womanhood. He had changed his mind. Ariel shrieked and reached under the water, pulling Jack up.

He came up laughing, water streaming down his face from his hair. Ariel hit him on the chest and said, "Jack! You scared me! Don't do that again!" 

He stopped laughing, pulled her close and said, "Awwwww, I'm sorry baby. I was only having some fun with you. I promise not to scare you again on purpose, honey." Then he kissed her deeply as she wrapped her arms around him. He slid his hands down and cupped her butt, pulling her close to his throbbing hardness. Jack knew then that he'd always be hard and ready for this beautiful woman in his arms, a hundred times a day if possible.

Ariel instantly lifted her legs up, looping them around his waist. She pressed herself teasingly against his hard shaft until he groaned. Then Ariel reached down between their bodies, grasped his hard penis and guided it to her awaiting flesh. He thrust deep inside her as she threw her head back, her hair floating around her in the water and tangling with their arms. She put her hands up on his shoulders, leaned back and tightened her legs around him as he held her at the waist, one hand on each hip. She moved with each thrust of his hips against her body, water splashing around them with their movements.

His hands tightened on her waist as she let go with her hands and laid back in the water, almost completely flat on her back in a reclining position in the water. The water was lapping against her breasts with each movement. Her nipples were temptingly protruding above the surface of the water. Jack continued to pound her, harder, faster and deeper. She moaned that low animal-like purr that Jack loved and he smiled. Her breaths were coming in gasps and her muscles trembled as the climax hit her full force. Her muscles around his hard shaft contracted so tightly that ha had all he could do to hold back his own release, which he wasn't able to do. Within seconds, Jack exploded deep within Ariel's hot sheath. As Ariel felt Jack spilling himself into her, she slowly sat up and wrapped her arms around him, then kissed him deeply.

PART ELEVEN

They stood there in the water for a while, still joined together intimately. Ariel could feel him softening inside her vagina. Jack pulled himself out of her and carried her to the shore of the pond. He bent down and Ariel grabbed the towels, then Jack carried her back to the lean-to. He laid her on the blanket and dried her off. He handed her clothes to her and then dried himself off while she dressed. While Jack dressed, Ariel straightened the blanket and set out the picnic lunch that she had packed in the cooler. 

They had ham & cheese sandwiches, fruit, potato chips and soda for lunch. Jack raised an eye brow when she handed him a bottle of soda. She laughed and said, "Sorry honey. I was out of beer." 

He took the bottle and said, "Well, don't forget it next time, baby. We'll be coming out here a lot so keep a good supply of beer handy for me, honey." 

"I will, dear." she laughed, then leaned over and kissed him again. They sat there and ate lunch and talked about what they would do if they owned this little patch of land in the middle of the woods, laughing at the funny things they would do, and about any changes that could possibly be made to the building and corral. As they talked, an idea began forming in Jack's head.

Jack looked at his watch and said, "I think it's about time to head back, baby. Don't you?" Ariel yawned, nodded her head and began packing up what was left of their lunch. Jack picked up the saddles and bridles and took them to the corral while Ariel picked up everything in the lean-to. Jack took the lead ropes from a nearby tree branch after he sat the saddles on the rail by the gate. He went into the corral and hooked the ropes to the horses' halters. He led them to the pond to get a drink before they left to go home. After a few minutes, he led them back to the corral, tied the ropes to the rails and saddled them up.

By the time Ariel had everything packed and ready to go, Jack was just finishing saddling Cajun. Lady was all set to go. Ariel gave Jack the backpack to tie to his saddle and she tied the cooler to her saddle. Jack helped Ariel mount up. She leaned down and kissed him before he walked to Cajun and climbed on. They rode out, following the "Maple Trail" to the "Elm Trail" and back to the road to her house. They turned into the driveway, rode past the cars and right to the barn. They dismounted and unsaddled the horses, brushed them and cleaned out their hooves before turning them out into the pasture.

Jack picked up the cooler and backpack after he put the saddles and bridles in the barn. He followed Ariel into the house and sat everything on the kitchen table. As Ariel went to unpack the cooler, Jack pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly and kissed her hard. Moments later, he broke the kiss and said, "I love you, baby. Thank you for a wonderful day." 

Ariel looked into his eyes, smiled and said, "I love you too, Jack. I really enjoyed being with you today too. Now let me get the cooler unpacked, babe. Go watch some TV until dinner's ready, ok?" He nodded, kissed her again, then went into the livingroom to watch TV.

All of that happened less than a month ago, Ariel recalled happily. She finished her shower and dried off. She wrapped a big fluffy red towel around her naked body and applied her deodorant and perfume. Then she went upstairs to get dressed. Angel, the cat, was laying on the bed curled up into a ball sound asleep when Ariel went into the bedroom. She opened her closet and looked through her clothes. After a few moments, she decided on her white and red striped sun dress, the strapless one with the heart-shaped bodice that hugs and lifts her full breasts without her having to wear a bra.

She went to her dresser and took out a pair of white lace panties, a white garter belt and a pair of beige stockings. She also took out a long red scarf to use as a belt with the dress, which she would tie around her waist in a bow positioned over her left hip, just for fun. She took out a white scarf with red stripes to use in her hair. Ariel dropped the towel and pulled on her panties, garter belt and stockings. Then she put on her dress and zipped it up, adjusting her breasts to show in the best way. She took the red scarf from her dresser top and tied it around her waist in a provocative bow over her left hip, then went to her closet again and took out a pair of daring red three-inch high heels. She slid her dainty feet into the shoes, then picked up the wet towel and the white hair scarf, and went downstairs. She glanced at the clock above the toilet in the bathroom. It said 7:00 pm. Only an hour before Jack arrived.

She dried her hair and styled it into a long curly dark brown mass cascading down her back. She tied the white scarf into a bow around her head with the bow itself just slightly to the left of the top center of her head. When her hair was done the way she wanted it, she sprayed it lightly with hair spray. She applied her make-up, natural shade foundation and face powder, dusty peach blush, black mascara and eye liner, lavender and pink eyeshadow, and rosy pink lipstick. She looked at herself in the mirror and decided she looked good, then cast a glance at the clock - 7:30 pm, only a half hour left. 

She could feel the butterflies starting in her tummy. Ariel used the toilet, washed her hands, checked her hair and make-up again, then went out to the kitchen. She put more dry food and water into Angel's dishes, checked the wine in the fridge, then went into the livingroom. She turned on the stereo then sat on the couch to read her emails on her laptop computer while she waited for Jack to arrive. She pulled her laptop from the shelf on the end table and plugged it in. She clicked on her email inbox and checked her mail. She had messages from her mom, her sister Linda, and three of her friends. She had just read the message from her sister Linda, when she heard a car pull into the driveway.




Love's True Obsession



Ariel glanced out the window to see Jack getting out of his red 1974 Chevy Nova. He had a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Ariel turned off the computer and put it back on the shelf, then went to the door to meet him. She didn't wait for him to knock and she opened the door, running into his arms. Jack laughed as she ran to him, arms opened and a dazzling smile on her face. He scooped her up, hugging her close and spinning around in a circle, her skirt of her dress billowing out around her legs. He stopped spinning and steadied her on her feet before kissing her deeply. He broke the kiss to gasp some air into his lungs and said huskily, "Hi baby! I've missed you so much!" Then he gave her the flowers he had brought for her - pink and white carnations and some daisies.

She smiled, took the flowers and said, "Thank you Jack. They're beautiful. I've missed you a lot too!" As they turned to go inside, Angel came out the door to greet Jack. He bent to pick her up and she nuzzled her head against his cheek then licked his nose. 

"I'm glad to see you too Angel-kitty." Jack said to the cat. 

"Meooowww-ow." was her reply before she jumped from his arms and strolled slowly to the barn to hunt for mice. 

"She really likes you, Jack." Ariel said. 

He nodded, saying, "Yeah baby. She sure does. Let's go inside now so you can take care of those flowers, honey."

PART TWELVE

They walked inside hand in hand and Jack closed the door behind him. Ariel took the flowers into the kitchen, pulled a large vase out of the cupboard and put water in it. She removed the plastic and tissue paper from the bouquet and put them into the vase of water. She carried the vase into the livingroom and placed it on the mantle above the fireplace. Jack was sitting on the couch looking at one of Ariel's horse magazines.

When she turned around after putting the vase on the mantle, she smiled as he patted the couch cushion beside him. She walked over and sat beside him. He pulled her close and kissed her deeply, his right hand coming up to cup her breast, massaging and squeezing it gently. She moaned and he smiled. He could feel her nipple harden beneath the think fabric of her cotton dress. His fingers crept up and pulled down the bodice of her dress, exposing both of her full, golden tanned breasts. He gently squeezed both of her nipples, hardening them almost instantly at his touch. 

His hand slid down her side and her hip, stroking gently. He kissed her again and said, "Baby, I've been waiting all week for this, you know." His voice was deep and husky with desire. 

"I know, I have too, Jack." she replied. He continued moving his hand down her leg to the hem of her dress. His hand stealthily moved under her dress and up the soft smooth skin of her thigh. His fingers brushed against the soft lace of her panties as they sought out her feminine heat and moisture. Ariel moaned as Jack's fingers slid under her panties to caress her damp curls. He slipped a finger between the lips of her swollen flesh and caressed the little nub of her womanhood.

Ariel raised her head up and her tongue flicked out to lick his earlobe, pulling it gently between her teeth. Jack growled and she giggled. Her hand slowly unbuttoned the front of his shirt then slid beneath the cloth to caress the coarse mat of hair on his chest, her fingers swirling through it teasingly over his nipples. He gasped as she gently pinched the flat brown nubs of his male nipples, which hardened quickly under her sweet assault. Ariel pushed his shirt off his shoulders and arms, then tossed it onto the floor. She fully exposed the muscular chest and bronze-gold tanned skin covered by a mat of curly black hair that trailed down his belly to disappear under the waist band of his pants.

She leaned over and flicked his nipples with her tongue, then placed light kisses all over his chest, causing him to let out a low animal-like growl. Her hand slowly slid down over his tight 6-pack abs, following the trail of hair over his bellybutton to the waistband of his pants. She unbuckled his belt, removing it with a quick tug and tossing it to the floor. She rubbed her hand over the front of his pants, feeling the obvious bulge of his desire, separated from her hand only by the fabrics of his pants and underwear. She unbuttoned his pants, slowly and carefully unzipped the zipper, then slid her hand in under the elastic band of his boxers to caress his firm shaft.

Ariel could hear his breathing increasing as she stroked his now swollen member. She pushed down the fabric of his underwear, releasing him from his tight confinement. She reached down and lifted his scrotum, tucking the waistband of his underwear beneath so that he was fully exposed to her hungry eyes. She stood up and slowly removed her dress, shoes, and panties, leaving on her stockings and garter belt.. She stood there in front of Jack, his eyes glazed with desire, his manhood long and erect, bobbing teasingly against his belly. His breathing quickened as he rapidly shed his shoes and the rest of his clothes. He stepped right over the coffee table and picked Ariel up, carrying her upstairs to the bedroom and tossing her into the middle of the bed. Angel quickly ran from the bed as Ariel landed on there.

Jack laid on the bed between her thighs, his hard throbbing shaft poised at her hot wet opening. He leaned his head down and took her left nipple into his mouth, sucking hungrily as he thrust himself deep within her. She raised her legs up, bent her knees and spread them wide to give him deeper penetration as she curled her fingers into his soft black hair. His thrusts started out slow, giving Ariel the most exquisite pleasure, causing her breathing to become harsh pants. Her sighs of love turned into loud moans of desire building to unmeasurable heights of sexual delight. As he began moving faster within her, she soared higher and higher on that cloud of pleasure until suddenly that cloud of desire burst forth with bright fireworks of jolting pleasure coursing through her body as the orgasm hit her. 

Her hot sticky love juices flowed from her body as he continued the sweet torture of her body. Moments later, Jack reached his own release, spilling his hot seed deep within her. He collapsed on her, still buried within her hot wet, throbbing sheath of love. They were both breathing hard, their heartbeats were racing like horses down a race track. Jack leaned on one elbow and used his other hand to push stray locks of hair from Ariel's damp cheeks, tucking them gently behind her ears. She looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you Jack. That was wonderful!" she said dreamily. 

"Mmmmmm, it sure was, baby." Jack said before he kissed her.

PART THIRTEEN

Jack pulled his now soft shaft from her dripping love nest, rolled off her and looked at the clock on the night stand. It said 8:45 pm. He turned to her and said, "Honey, we better get cleaned up and dressed if we're going to arrive on time at the restaurant where I've made dinner reservations. The reservation is for two at The Dream Scape Restaurant for 9:45 pm. I've arranged for a private candlelight dinner in one of the small private dining rooms, complete with wine and dessert if you want it, baby." 

Ariel's eyes brightened and a huge smile spread across her face as she sat up and threw her arms around him. "Oh Jack! That sounds so wonderfully romantic!! I've never been to that restaurant because I thought it would be really expensive and there was no way I could afford it." she said. She jumped out of bed, ran downstairs and grabbed their clothes from the livingroom. She was just coming into the kitchen when Jack appeared at the bottom of the stairs. She gave his clothes to him on her way into the bathroom. She washed up, then fixed her hair and make-up. Jack followed her into the bathroom, used the toilet, then washed up and combed his shoulder length black hair after he dressed.

He helped Ariel with her dress, zipping it up for her, then tying the red scarf around her waist for her. She pulled her panties back on and adjusted her garter belt and stockings. She brushed her hair and tied the white scarf back into it. She touched up her makeup again and added more perfume, then followed Jack out to the livingroom. He picked up her shoes from the floor by the fireplace and said, "Sit on the coffee table, honey. I want to put your shoes on your feet for you." Ariel moved aside the potted plant on the table and sat down.

Jack knelt on the floor in front of her, her shoes in his hand. He gently picked up her dainty left foot, kissed it tenderly, then slipped on the high-heeled red shoe. He did the same thing with her right foot and shoe. She smiled as he placed his hands on either side of her hips and leaned forwards, kissing her deeply. When Jack broke the kiss, he stood and helped Ariel stand up. She said, "I forgot my bracelets upstairs on my dresser. I'll go get them and be right back, my love." 

He said, "Hurry up, darling', we only have half an hour." Ariel giggled then hurried upstairs to where she left her jewelry on the dresser. She put on her ruby earrings, with the matching necklace and wrist bracelet, and her pearl and ruby ankle bracelet around her right ankle.

Then she went back downstairs, turning off the light on the way. Jack had turned off the tv, and all the lights except for the light above the kitchen sink, and he was waiting by the door for Ariel with her ruby red knitted shawl in his hands. She grabbed her purse from the closet and her housekeys from the hook by the door. Jack draped the shawl over her shoulders, then opened the door for her. They left the house, locking up behind them, and walked to the car. Jack opened the door for her to get in. He fastened her seatbelt for her as he kissed her, before closing the door. He went around to the driver's side and got in, buckling up his seatbelt before starting the car. 

He backed the car out of the driveway and drove to town, reaching over and taking Ariel's hand in his. He squeezed it gently then brought it up to his mouth and pressed tender kisses into her open palm, sending goose bumps up her arm and making her smile lovingly at him. He smiled back at her. About ten minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant. Jack parked the car, then got out and opened Ariel's door for her. He took her hand and they walked into the restaurant. The host took Jack's jacket and Ariel's shawl to the coat room. He came back and led them to their private dining room. Ariel looked around the room after the host helped her to sit.

There was a big fountain in the corner, and lots of plants and flowers surrounding a built in fish pond beneath the fountain. "Oh Jack, that is so beautiful! I'd love to walk over and look at it, if that's ok." she said to him expectantly. 

"Of course, baby. Go ahead and look at it." he said. He pulled out her chair for her and she walked over to the fountain garden pond. She looked at all the beautiful flowers and cupped a large yellow blossom in her hand, dipping her nose close to it and inhaling deeply of its sweet fragrance. Jack saw which flower she was admiring and said, "That's called a 'Cup o' Gold' blossom, baby. It originates in the Caribbean on an island that pirates used to inhabit back in the 1600's." 

"Would that island be called Tortuga, by any chance, dear?" she asked with a wink. 

He nodded his head and asked, "Yes baby, how did you know?" 

"Just a guess, Jack. I remember reading about these blossoms in an old book that my grandma used to have." she told him.

PART FOURTEEN 

Ariel stared in awe at the gorgeous fountain garden where little orange and white Koi fish were happily swimming in the pond. She turned to Jack and said, "Oh Jack, this is so lovely! Thank you for bringing me to this beautiful restaurant. I love you so much, Jack." 

He got up from the table and walked over to her by the garden, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her deeply, then said, "You are so welcome, baby. I knew you'd like this place." As he spoke, his voice turned husky. He looked into Ariel's eyes and saw the sparks of desire twinkling in her amber eyes, and he knew that she saw them in his eyes too. He led her back to the table and helped her sit, then he took his seat again just as the waiter came into the room with a bottle of wine for the two lovers. 

The waiter quietly poured the wine, then left the bottle in an ice bucket by the table. They sipped their wine, staring intently into each other's eyes with unspoken promises for the night to come. They didn't break the eye contact until the waiter arrived pushing a cart containing their meal: Lobster with Lemon-butter sauce for Jack and Haddock filet with asparagus for Ariel, crisp green salad topped with fresh vegetables, fresh baked rolls with butter, and Chocolate Mousse topped with whipped cream and shaved chocolate for dessert. 

Ariel was astonished with the magnificence of the meal Jack had ordered for them when he made the reservation. "MMMMMM Jack, dinner looks absolutely delicious! I can't wait to taste it!" she said as she forked off a small piece of her fish and popping it into her mouth. She rolled her eyes and groaned in pleasure, then said, "Oh My God Jack! This fish is positively exquisite and extremely delicious! You have to try a bite!" 

She forked off another piece and fed it to Jack, who chewed it slowly and said, "You're right baby. It is good! Would you like to try a piece of my lobster?" 

"No thank you, dear. I don't care for lobster much. But thanks anyhow love. May I trouble the waiter for a glass of ice water? The fish is making me thirsty and the wine isn't helping much, but I don't want to be a bother to you." she replied. 

Jack chuckled and said, "Baby, you are not tonight, nor will you ever be, a bother to me. I love you with my entire heart and soul for all of eternity. My days and nights are so full of thoughts of you, baby, that it's hard for me to concentrate on anything else when I'm away from you. Nothing and no one will ever come between us, honey." Then he signaled to the waiter for a pitcher of water before he lifted her hand to his lips and gently kissed her palm, causing those familiar currents of desire to course through her again and making her shift slightly in her chair. She looked at him and saw the desire smoldering there, and he could see it in her eyes too. They both ate their dinner happily, laughing and talking. 

They ate the Chocolate Mousse, had another glass of wine, then left the restaurant after Jack paid the bill and they got their jackets. They walked back to the car, Jack had his arm around her waist and she had hers around him. Before opening the door for Ariel, Jack pulled her close, leaned her against the car and kissed her deeply. He pressed his hips against her so she could feel what she did to him. His hard bulge of arousal pressed against her tummy, causing her to moan softly and whisper, "Let's go home, baby. You need to have that (Here she moved her gaze down to the front of his pants.) checked out by someone special!" She giggled at the wicked gleam in his eyes and winked seductively at him as he opened the car door for her. 

They drove back to Ariel's house, stopping at the local convenience store for beer, soda and snacks. Jack pulled the car into the driveway. The headlights of the car shone on the front door and porch. Ariel saw her cat Angel, sitting on the rocking chair on the porch, daintily licking her paw. Ariel turned to Jack and said, "Angel must have had a good hunt for mice, judging by the way she's licking her paws." 

He nodded and said, "Yeah, babe. I think you're right. You've got a great mouser there, honey." They got out of the car and Ariel scooped up Angel while Jack unlocked the door and turned on the light. Ariel closed the door as Angel jumped down, running into the kitchen. 

Ariel kicked off her shoes, putting them on the bottom stair to take up to her room later. She turned around to find Jack leaning against the counter watching her. She walked into his embrace and hugged him tightly as his lips came down to claim hers. She felt him growing hard against her belly as his hands slid up and down over her back and bottom, pressing her body against his. "I've been waiting all evening for this, baby. Let's go upstairs." Jack whispered to her, his voice husky and deep in her ear. Ariel nodded then pulled out of Jack's arms and went to the stairs, grabbing her shoes. Jack locked the front door, turned off all the downstairs lights except for the bathroom, then followed Ariel up the stairs to the bedroom. She was putting them in the closet when he entered the room. 

She stood up and walked to the dresser, removing her necklace, earrings and bracelet. She lifted her leg up and put her food against the dresser to remove her ankle bracelet as Jack watched from the bed. She tossed her hair to the side and glanced at Jack as she slowly slid the hem of her dress up her leg to mid-thigh, where she unfastened her beige silk stocking from her garter belt. She rolled the stocking slowly down her leg and off her foot, tossing it onto the dresser before lowering her leg and repeating her performance with her other leg and stocking. 

Ariel heard Jack draw in a sharp deep breath, and she knew that if she turned around, she would see a throbbing bulge at the front of his pants. She stood up and put her foot back on the floor. Ariel untied the red scarf from around her waist, laying it on the dresser. She took the white scarf out of her hair and shook it out, making her hair fly around her like a chocolate cloud. She turned to face Jack, smiling seductively. Jack quickly stripped down to just his underwear before coming to Ariel. He unzipped her dress, letting it fall to puddle at her feet in a pile of red and white stripes. Her breasts were bared to him and all she was wearing was her white garter belt and her white lace panties. 

PART FIFTEEN

He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tight against his body, his arousal very evident against her tummy. She slid her hands around his waist as he kissed her, then she moved them down to his hard firm butt and squeezed hard with both hands, making him grunt and growl. He picked her up and tossed her onto the bed. He unfastened her garter belt and tossed it to the floor, her panties following quickly. He spread her legs and lay between them, kissing her deeply, his tongue engaged in a sensuous dance of love with hers. His kisses left her mouth to trail over her cheeks, eyes, nose, forehead, down to her ears, then on down her neck to her shoulders. He tenderly kissed the throbbing pulse-point at the base of her neck, feeling it beat rapidly in anticipation.

He kissed her shoulders, then moved down to nuzzle her breasts, kissing and teasing each nipple to full hardness. He licked, kissed, sucked and nipped both nipples, gently taking them between his teeth and giving gentle tugs. Ariel moaned her pleasure as Jack continued his sweet assault on her lush breasts. He moved down slightly, leaving a fiery trail of kisses all over her ribcage and tummy. He dipped his tongue into her belly button and he smiled when her stomach muscles twitched. H did that again and again, causing Ariel to giggle. He kissed her belly button, then left hot kisses down to the dark silky curls at the apex of her thighs.

He placed kisses all around her womanhood, on her tummy and inner thighs, but carefully avoiding her secret spot, just to tease her. He heard her let out a low growl when he lightly nuzzled her curls with his nose, inhaling her rich tangy scent. Jack raised his head, looked up at Ariel and saw the desire shining in her beautiful hazel-amber eyes. Her face was flushed and her full kissably soft lips were slightly parted. He looked down at her mound and saw that she was starting to leak her love juices, dampening the dark curls. Jack smiled wickedly just before burying his face in her love nest.




Love's True Obsession



His fingers gently opened her up for his probing tongue, spreading wide her swollen flesh. His tongue found her pleasure nub and flicked over it rapidly several times before he clamped his lips around it and sucked hungrily. He slowly slid two fingers into her hot leaking hole in a slow steady rhythm of lovemaking. Her hips lifted to meet his tongue's loving touches and she reached down to tangle her fingers in his hair, pressing his mouth and tongue into her wetness even more. Jack licked her whole mound, inside and out, savoring the sweet tanginess of her love juices. Within seconds, she was moaning and her love tunnel was tightly contracting around his fingers, her juices gushing out all over his fingers and hand.

Ariel looked down at him and said huskily, "I want you Jack. I want to suck and lick you, just like you just did to me!" Jack gave a husky laugh and sat up, his legs over the side of the bed. Ariel got off the bed and knelt on the floor between his legs. He placed his hands on either side of her face and kissed her deeply, his tongue probing into her mouth to stroke her teeth and tangle with her tongue. She could taste her juices on his lips and tongue, which excited her even more, then she broke the kiss, gasping for breath. He let her push him back on the bed. She put her hands on his thighs and began massaging him. She placed kisses on his thighs, moving up to his tummy, but not touching his groin area yet. She dipped her tongue into his belly button the same way he did with her, making him laugh and clench his tight abs. 

Ariel moved back down to his thighs and gently cupped his testicles in one hand, massaging and fondling them, while her other hand wrapped around his stiffening shaft. She slowly began stroking it. Her head bent low over his stomach and her long brown hair drifted across his belly. Jack gasped at that exquisite feeling, like a sheet of silk being trailed across his belly. She took a thick tendril of hair and brushed it across the tip of his now erect manhood, causing it to jerk in her hand. She giggled at his response, then opened her mouth. Her dainty pink tongue darted out and flicked the head of his cock, making it jerk again in her hand. She started to stroke him faster as she took him into her mouth, feeling him fill her completely. She began sucking him steadily, in rhythm to her hand strokes. 

She continued sucking and stroking him, increasing the speed and pressure until he growled that deep lion-like groan and his release hit him. His hot sticky cum shot into her mouth and all over her tongue, dripping out and running down her chin. "Oh My God baby!!! That is so good! Now get your ass up here on the bed so I can make love to you!" he said to her as he sat up and pulled her up onto the bed. He was still laying on his back so he said, "Climb on and ride me, baby! I need to feel my hard cock deep inside your hot wetness now!" Ariel got up on her knees and straddled his waist. She rubbed her pussy teasingly against his throbbing cock. Jack put his hands under her hips, raised her up slightly and buried himself deep within her love tunnel with just one thrust.

Jack began a steady rhythm which Ariel quickly matched, raising and lowering her slick heat over his swollen nine-inch shaft of silken muscle. He could feel her muscles quiver as the orgasm hit her, flooding his shaft with her hot juices as she threw her head back screaming, "Oh God, Yessss babyyy! Fuck me harder Jack! MMMMMMMMMMMM Oh God!!!! OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jack quickly pulled out of her and turned her around, telling her to get on her hands and knees. She did and Jack knelt behind her. He spread open her wet hot flesh with one hand as he guided his hard shaft into her tunnel with the other hand until he completely filled her.

He placed his hands on her hips and began thrusting rapidly in and out of her hot flesh. He reached one hand under her tummy and began rubbing her clit firmly, making her moan loudly. Her ample breasts were swaying with each thrust of his body against hers, his testicles slapping against her clit even as he was stroking it. She could tell she was about to cum again as her muscles tightened around his cock, sucking him fully into her sheath of love. The orgasm hit her like a hurricane, causing her juices to flow out of her like water from a fountain. Her juices flowed over his cock and down over his testicles, dripping onto the bed between his knees. 

Jack continued to thrust hard and fast and deep within her for a few more minutes, making her cum again before finally reaching his own release. He pulled out and stroked his cock fast, shooting hot sticky cum all over Ariel's bottom, letting it run down the crack between the two golden halves of her ass. Her legs gave out on her and she collapsed onto her belly, her body glistening with dewy perspiration, her breathing ragged. "Oh my God, Jack! I would have to say that THAT was the best sex we've had so far since we met, baby." Ariel told him caressingly as he collapsed on the bed beside her, his breathing as ragged as hers. He took several deep breaths and lay exhausted beside her. He sleepily agreed with her as he pulled her close against him, draping an arm over her and placing his hand on her breast. She reached down and pulled a blanket over them and they fell asleep completely satisfied and totally in love.

PART SIXTEEN

BUZZZZZZ!!! BUZZZZZZ!!! BUZZZZZZ!!! Ariel slowly woke up to the sound of her alarm clock going off. She looked at the clock: 7:30 am. She reached over and turned it off, then stretched her arms and legs out. She rolled over to look at Jack, but she was surprised to see that he wasn't in bed beside her. She yawned and looked around. His clothes were still on the chair by the dresser where he had left them. All that was missing was his underwear. Her clothes were sitting in the laundry baskets for washing, and even her jewelry was put away in her jewelry cases. She smiled as she realized that Jack had tidied things up while she slept.

She listened quietly and heard Jack talking to the cat downstairs in the kitchen. She sat up, swung her legs over the side of the bed and padded barefoot to her dresser. She pulled open a drawer and took out her red lace nighty and slipped it on, then she took the matching robe from the hook inside her closet. She went quietly down the stairs, thankful that none of them squeaked as she stepped on them. As she got to the bottom of the stairs, she saw Jack sitting at the table, a cup of steaming coffee in front of him. Ariel saw Angel sitting on one of the other chairs watching Jack, meowing back at him as if carrying on a conversation. Ariel heard Jack ask Angel, "So Angel-kitty, do you think that your beautiful owner is awake and ready for some breakfast yet?" 

Angel replied, "Meow-oww." then looked toward the stairs where Ariel was sitting.

Jack turned and saw Ariel sitting there on the bottom step, elbows on her knees, chin on her clasped hands, watching him dreamily, as she said, "Good morning, handsome. Yes, I am awake and ready for some breakfast, dear. What are you making?" Jack stood up and she saw that he was wearing only his red boxer shorts, which Ariel thought made him look really sexy. He walked over, took her hand and pulled her to her feet. He pulled her close and kissed her deeply. Ariel could taste the coffee in his mouth and it made her stomach growl loudly. They both heard it, and they laughed.

"I was thinking of whipping up some ham and cheese omelets, toast, juice and coffee, baby. Is that ok? I already checked in the fridge and everything I need is in there. Can I pour you a cup of coffee, honey?" he asked. 

"Yes dear, coffee would be good and the omelets sound absolutely delicious! I'm starving!" she replied as Jack led her to the table and pulled out a chair for her. She sat and Jack went to the coffee maker and poured coffee into Ariel's favorite mug, a tall red one with a Queen of Hearts playing card painted on it. He added cream, sugar and the vanilla to the coffee and stirred it good before bringing it to Ariel. She tasted it and said, "Yum! Just right, baby! You remembered just how I like my coffee!" He smiled, kissed her, then went to the fridge to take out what he needed for the omelets. 

Ariel thought to herself, "I wonder how many other women are having their breakfast made for them by a gorgeous hunk walking around in tight red boxer shorts that really show off his tight ass and delicious package...." Jack turned around to look at her and caught her staring at him. Her face blushed almost as red as the robe and nighty she was wearing, and Jack knew she had been checking out his lower body, covered only with his underwear. Just to make her blush more, he lifted one side of the front of his boxers, giving her a peek at his love muscle, which was starting to harden right before her eyes.

Ariel unconsciously licked her lips and Jack chuckled, then turned back to making the omelets. He cooked both omelets, made the toast, then carried the two plates to the table, placing one in front of Ariel and the other in front of his chair. He went to the cupboard and took out two glasses, then got the jug of juice from the fridge, pouring some into each glass. He sat down after putting the juice on the table and they ate breakfast. "Mmmmm baby, this omelet is delicious!" she told him with a smile. 

Jack smiled back at her and said, "Yes it is, baby. But not as delicious as the taste of your silky soft skin or your honeyed sweetness, my love." She blushed again and Jack knew that she was remembering last night's fun upstairs.

"I have a surprise for you today, baby." Jack told her when they finished eating. 

Ariel looked up at him and said, "You do?? I wonder what it is." 

He smiled and said, "You'll find out soon enough, honey. Now let's get these dishes done, then get dressed if you want your surprise." They washed, dried and put away the dishes, then Ariel went to take a shower. As she was coming out of the bathroom wrapped in just a towel, Jack said, "Wear jeans, baby. We'll be riding the horses to get to where the surprise is." She nodded and went upstairs, deliberately dropping her towel on the way up, teasing Jack with a glimpse of her bare bottom and long shapely tanned legs. Jack laughed then went into the bathroom, took his shower and dried off, not bothering to wrap a towel around his waist. 

He went up the stairs naked, since his clothes were in a couple of drawers in Ariel's dresser. When Jack entered the bedroom, he expected to see her laying on the bed waiting for him. She wasn't. She was just pulling on a pair of black jeans over her black thong underwear. She already had a red shirt with a white horse on it pulled on. He asked her, "What's under that shirt, baby?" 

She gave him a sly glance and a wicked little smile and said, "That's a surprise for you, baby." Then she let out a husky laugh as she zipped and buttoned her jeans.

She went to the dresser and took out a pair of socks from the drawer while Jack opened the other drawers to take out clean underwear and socks, a blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Ariel sat on the bed and put on her socks while she watched Jack get dressed. She was getting excited just watching the rippling muscles move beneath his skin as he dressed. She asked him, "Jack honey, can you please toss me my hairbrush and a red ponytail holder?" He tossed them to her and she brushed her long hair, then parted it into 3 strands and braided them into a long braid that reached her luscious bottom, wrapping the ponytail holder around the end of the braid.

Jack finished dressing and took her hand, pulling her close and kissing her deeply when she went to put her brush back on the dresser. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and gave him a big hug. When he broke the kiss, they were both breathless. "I love you so much, Jack!" she said between gasps of air. 

"Oh honey, I love you more than life itself. I'd die for you if I had to, babe. You know that?" he asked her. She nodded and kissed him. Then he took her hand in his and they went downstairs to put on their boots.

PART SEVENTEEN

Jack pulled the picnic basket out from under the kitchen counter and took the picnic blanket from the closet after he put on his boots. Ariel looked at him curiously and he said, "The picnic is part of my surprise, baby. I packed it when I came downstairs this morning. And if you look outside by the barn, you will see that the horses are both saddled and ready to go too, baby." She looked out the kitchen window, and sure enough, there were Cajun and Lady, all saddled except for their bridles. They had the saddles on and had lead ropes fastened to their halters. They were both tied to the hitching post and nibbling on the grass around the post. 

Ariel smiled and asked him, "When did you do that, honey? When I woke up, your clothes were still on the chair upstairs."

Jack laughed and said, "Right after I came downstairs, I slid my boots on and went outside in just my boots and underwear, with a couple of carrots in my hand. I had no trouble catching them so I put their saddles on and tied them to the post before coming in and packing the basket and making a pot of coffee." 

She smiled, winked at him and said, "Wow, you sure were busy this morning, baby. What time did you wake up?" "Around six, honey. I knew you were going to get up at 7:30 so I wanted everything ready for the surprise before you got up. Are you ready to go, baby?" he asked. 

"Yeah I guess so. Do I need any extra clothes or anything?" she asked him. Jack shook his head "no" then Ariel took Angel's food and water dishes out to the barn and they left the house, Jack locking the door behind him. Jack tied the basket and blanket to the back of his saddle while Ariel put Lady's bridle on her. Jack put on Cajun's bridle too. Ariel was about to take off the lead rope when Jack stopped her. "We'll need the lead ropes, baby. Leave it on her. Mount up, darling." he said.. They both mounted up on the horses and rode out. When they got to the trail down the road, Jack stopped the horses. 

He handed Ariel a black blindfold, then took Lady's lead rope in his hand and said, "Put the blindfold on baby. I don't want you to see the surprise before I'm ready for you to see it. You'll only need to wear it for about a half hour, honey, so don't be afraid." 

Ariel cocked an eyebrow at him and said, "I'm not afraid, Jack. I'm just very, very curious about the surprise." Then she put on the blindfold. 

He said, "Now hold on, honey. I'll walk the horses to the surprise that awaits you, my love." Then Ariel felt the horses start to move and she held tightly to the reins. Every few minutes, Jack would ask her, "Are you alright, baby?" 

Ariel would reply, "Yes dear, I'm fine. Are we there yet?" 

He laughed and said, "No baby, not yet."

She felt Lady turn right, onto another trail she had guessed. Jack said, "Five more minutes baby, then you can take off the blindfold." 

She said, "Ok honey." then felt Lady stop. 

She heard Jack dismount and he said, "Stay right there for a couple minutes, baby." She heard him removing the saddle from Cajun, then she heard him lead the horse away a short distance and heard a gate close. Ariel jumped as she felt his hand on her thigh. "Easy baby, it's just me." he said soothingly. He put his hands on her waist and lifted her down after she put her hands on his shoulders. Her body slid slowly down his and she heard him take a deep breath as her lower body slid over his and her feet touched the ground. He kissed her and said, "Stand right here, baby. Don't move until I come to you." 

"Ok Jack." she replied.

Ariel heard the creak of leather as he unsaddled Lady, then hoofbeats as he walked her away. Creeeeeaaakkkkk, gate opening. Hoofbeats, Lady walking. Creeeeaaakkk, gate closing. She heard him walk over and lift the saddles and walk away. A moment later, she heard two thumps as Jack dropped the saddles on something that sounded like wood. More footsteps on the gravel, then Jack was taking her hand and leading her. He stopped and said, "Ok honey, take off the blindfold." She took the blindfold off slowly to allow her eyes to adjust to the light. When she could see clearly, she looked and saw the lean-to where they had gone for their second date. 

But it wasn't a lean-to anymore. The side that had been open before was now closed in and had a door in front of the steps. Attached to the outside wall was a large wooden box with a lid on it. Ariel walked over and opened the lid to see the saddles and bridles in there. That was the thump sound she had heard. She closed the lid down and went up the three steps and opened the door. Jack was watching her, smiling. He had purchased this lot from Ariel's neighbor as a birthday surprise for her, but she would find that out soon enough. As Ariel opened the door, she gasped at what she saw. Along the wall at the back was a wide platform bed, about six feet wide and seven feet long, with a queen sized mattress, two large fluffy pillows and several blankets on it.

Jack was standing in the doorway and said, "There are more blankets, sheets and pillowcases in the drawers beneath the bed, baby." She turned to him and smiled, then continued looking around. In the corner by the foot of the bed was a dresser with four drawers, and candles sitting on top of it. On the wall to Ariel's left, she saw several shelves, loaded with pots & pans, dishes, a coffee can with silverware and utensils in it, and canisters of dry goods like flour and sugar, coffee, rice, and other items, and a bunch of canned foods. Beneath the shelves on the floor was a large trunk. Ariel looked to the right and saw a small table and two chairs with an oil lamp hanging from the ceiling above it.

"Oh Jack," she said hoarsely, "it's beautiful! Did you do all this for me?" 

He smiled and said, "No love, I did it for us." 

"But how? When? I don't own this property, Jack. You can't do stuff like this on someone else's property." she said, slightly upset. 

Jack pulled her close and said, "Calm down honey. First of all, I know you don't own this land. I do. I bought it last week from your neighbor, Mr. Johnston. I paid him a visit and asked him if he wanted to sell it, and he did after I explained why I wanted it. Then I borrowed a couple of his driving horses to haul the lumber out here to do the building to the lean-to and build the platform for the bed and the tack box outside."

"His son, Andy, helped me with it and he drove the horse and cart to bring out the mattress, furniture and bedding for me. I brought the dishes, lamp, candles and foodstuffs out here a couple of days ago while you were at work. I had them in the trunk of my car and Andy met me at your house that day with the horse and cart. We loaded everything into the cart and brought them out here. And if you look in the drawers of the dresser, you will find clothes for both of us, and in the trunk there, is some towels, soap, shampoo and other necessities we might need."

Ariel opened the drawers and saw their clothes, then opened the lid of the trunk and saw the towels and stuff Jack mentioned. She also saw a shoe box with a ribbon tied on it. She looked at Jack and he said, "Take it out and open it, honey." She took out the box and closed the lid on the trunk. She carried the box to the table, sat on one of the chairs and untied the ribbon. She lifted the top off and put it on the table, then moved aside the tissue paper. She took out a large envelope, a smaller envelope, a small box and a pocket pack of tissues. She was wondering about the tissues.

PART EIGHTEEN

Jack told her to open the bigger envelope first. She did so, removing some papers and reading them. She looked at Jack and said, "Mine?? This land is mine? Ohhh Jack! Thank you so much, darling!" She was crying happy tears as she leapt up and hugged him tightly.
