The Vacation: A Red Lace Romance (3 page)

His hands made their way down to her shorts and he pulled them off, dropping them off to the side of the bed.  He kneeled in front of her and examined her
succulent body. 

Jenn
ran her hands from his dense pecks down to his perfectly chiseled abs.  She outlined each indent and crease and could feel the dampness of his body as he began to sweat with passion.  She let her fingers rim the top of his boxers and slowly lowered them revealing the perfect V pointing down to his length. 

Gerard lowered himself over her body,
his tip just gently grazing her, as he kissed her passionately on her lips.  She was taken to a place of complete indulgence as her eyes closed and rolled back in her head.  She felt like she was floating on air, like she was being transported on clouds. 

Gera
rd wrestled his tongue with hers; he playfully bit her lower lip.  His fingers explored her and she gasped with pleasure at his every movement.  He traced a path from her lips down between her legs with his tongue and lips.  Kissing her gently as he lowered himself to her space.

He was slow and gentle.  He predicted her every desire and every pleasures.  She held onto the bed post with one hand as she grabbed at his hair with the other. 
He enjoyed watching her squirm under his most powerful muscle.  He sunk his fingers into her thighs and pulled her closer into his face.  When she was just about to explode he pulled away and kissed her inner thighs and up to her lips again.

He
kneeled her over body.  Frail from his sensual pleasurings, she was gasping for air from what he had just done to her and thinking about what he was going to do to her next.

A cheeky
smile crossed his face, and it softened, as he saw Jenn’s face contort in ecstasy and desire.  Jenn ran her hands up over his strong, thick biceps which bulged with every other inch of his hard body.

He lowered himself and kissed her sensually, slowly, patiently. 
She felt him enter her slowly, making his way deep inside of her inch by inch.  Jenn’s ears were ringing, and she lost track of her thoughts, she forgot where she was and the image of explosions transposed her to a place of immutable divinity. 

Gerard thrust into her
.  His every movement throwing her into a sensual plight of pleasure, his every momentary retraction recoiling herself to receive him again and again and again.  

“You feel so nice around me.”  Gerard whispered into her ear between heavy breaths.

Jenn moaned.  Gerard quickened his pace, Jenn’s moaning became louder, and it was tainted by breaths as she gasped under the sensations. 

Jenn
dug her nails deep into Gerard’s back.  Sweat dripped off Gerard and mingled with the droplets already on her breasts.   Gerard’s panting formed the melody to Jenn’s moans and they released their satisfaction into one another.

Gerard collapsed over her shoulder and
Jenn’s body sunk deeper into the bed as she revived herself from the carnality that took over her body.

Gerard kissed her shoulder, then her neck and then her lips, almost playfully but with comfort and meaning.
  He collapsed next to her, and they both lay next to each other staring at the ceiling as if trying to find their escaped souls and breathe them back in while their lungs recovered from excitement.

“That was better than I had imagined when I saw you
on the couch.” Gerard said between slowing breaths.

“I’m gla
d I could indulge your lust.” Jenn said still showcasing the vixen Gerard released from within her.

Gerard stretched out his arm and tucked it under
Jenn’s head.  She almost instinctively turned her body into his and laid her leg on top of his.  It was a comfort Jenn had missed and forgotten for many years.  The touch of a man’s body next to hers, and the feeling of closeness coupled with desire.  She felt safe next to Gerard, she felt wanted and protected.

Without thinking too much into the emotions, she relished in the moment.  She rested her hand on top of his chest and she could feel his heartbeat slowly fade awa
y under his sun-kissed skin.

They both closed their eyes and coveted the warmth of their bodies, holding each other close, and feel into sleep without expecting it.

Jenn felt movement next to her.  She opened her eyes.  Gerard had moved her onto her pillow and was standing next to the bed putting on his boxers.

Before she knew what was happening, he saw that she had awoken.  He leaned over her, moved the hair from her face and kissed her forehead, and paused over her for a few seconds. 

“I’m gonna run out and get us breakfast.  Coffee right?”  Gerard asked in an almost whisper

“
mmm, that sounds lovely.  Yes please.”

“I’ll be back in a little bit you vixen.”

Jenn smiled and turned over, she was still exhausted from what happened that morning.  She hadn’t had that much pleasure or passion in a long time. Her body was just adjusting to the pounding it had received. 

Jenn
woke up a half hour later.  Still a bit tired, but determined to wake up.  She was hungry and looking forward to breakfast. She went to the bathroom to brush and wash the sleep off her face.  She heard Gerard come back.

She found herself smiling at the thought of Gerard.  She stopped and looked in the mirror, ‘get
yourself together girl.  Don’t rush into anything.’ Her mind was telling her to keep her shields up, but this morning’s passionate session felt so perfect, almost like they were making love.  Jenn could feel the internal conflict writhing inside her. 

“
Jenn,” he called out to her from the kitchen as he set bags of food in the kitchen.  He had turned on the coffee pot before he left and the aroma of the bitter coffee transcended the entire apartment.  “Are you awake beautiful? I’m back.”

Jenn
emerged from the bedroom, wearing the same black tank top and shorts Gerard had so frivolously discarded off her body earlier that morning. 

“
Mmm, you look better than breakfast.” Gerard walked over to her, wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips.

It was all so unreal to the
Jenn.  She hadn’t been in a relationship for years, and even her last boyfriend didn’t treat her as well as Gerard was treating her right now, or treated her this morning.  She returned the kiss, “what’s for breakfast?”

“I got a bit of traditional Singaporean delights, some sweet, some spicy and savory.  Coffee’s in the pot and
milk’s in the fridge.”

Whether it was because her senses were heightened by the morning escapades,
or because the food in Singapore was that much more delicious, Jenn enjoyed the selections Gerard had brought back.

They sat at the table across from each other. 
Jenn was a little shy to begin conversation. She had just slept with a man she barely knew, but for some unexplainable reason felt comfortable around him as though she had known him for years.  Luckily, Gerard was bursting with conversation.

“So, if you don’t have anything planned, I was wondering if you wanted to head out with me.  I’ve got some errands to do and then I can take you around and show you some of the city.”

“Sure that sounds perfect.  I’m not really looking to do anything to extraneous.  I just want to get a feel for the city,” replied Jenn.

“I’ve got plans to meet up with friends later toni
ght, they’re all heading out to hit up a few bars then maybe go to a few clubs.  Do you want to come along? Singapore nightlife is an exotic experience.”  Gerard was casual about his invitation.  He wanted to show Jenn a good time but give her plenty of space to unwind.

“Yeah, you know what I will.  I haven’t had a night out in ages.  It’s been so long I think I’ve forgotten how to dance,”
Jenn laughed.

“
Oh, I don’t know, from what I saw this morning, those hips still have a good bit of movement in them!” 

They finished breakfast and got ready to head out
. Vincent, the concierge, had arranged their ride and it was waiting on them outside the apartment.  It was only 10am, but it was swelteringly hot.  Jenn wore a simple white sundress but she could feel the thick humid air cling to her skin.  The air conditioning in the taxi was a welcome reprieve.

The
y spent the day between the mall and shops; Gerard had a few things to pick up for himself and it gave him a chance to give Jenn an outline of the city. Jenn noticed that everywhere they went Gerard seemed to know the shop owners and the management. 

When they walked through the luxury shopping district everyone seemed to be smiling or waving at him.
Gerard kept his head down or diverted his gaze as best he could as though he was trying to hide something from Jenn.  She didn’t make mention of it to him though.

Singapore was beautiful.  Like a brand new city unwrapped and still shiny and new.  Buildings towered high into the sky and streets were lined with tall palms and beautiful exotic flowers. 
Everything was kept to the highest degree of lush tidiness.  Each street was adorned with a beautiful array of flora that shone in the brightness of the tropical sun.

People of exotic origins and all different backgrounds crowded the metro stations, malls, the abundant café’s, restaurants, and
hawker’s markets.  Jenn really felt like she was on a five-star vacation that was created to the most pristine opulence that could be afforded her.

By mid-afternoon, the heat became unbearab
le, so Gerard whisked her into his favourite hawker’s market where they enjoyed some light dishes suitable against the heat and an ice cold beer in frosted mugs.   They talked about Jenn’s life in London, about their time in University. 

“Sussex was fun.  I met some really great people in my time there.  We sti
ll stay in touch as best we can,” said Gerard.

“I can
’t believe I don’t remember you!  Simon said you were in Commerce.  That was right next door, to my building.  I can’t even remember seeing you at the pub or any of the student events.”  Jenn, wasn’t exactly the social butterfly, but she always remembered a face, no matter how brief.  Considering that their campus was closed to all but the Business students Jenn was surprised that she couldn’t remember Gerard.

“I was busy then, between
work and studying I barely had time to go out.”  Gerard was quick to give a response, almost as though he wasn’t telling her the truth.  “I don’t remember you either,” continued Gerard, “and believe me, I would never forget a beautiful face like yours.”

He reached over and ran his finger down the side of her face and rested his thumb on her lip.  She bit his thumb playfully.  It was a moment created for a kiss, but they just looked into each other’s eyes. 
Jenn’s body was beginning to get warmer and her space between her legs moist. 

Jenn
wanted to throw Gerard down there in the middle of the market and enjoy him, but she restrained herself.  She took his hand in hers and laid it on her thigh, she leaned into him, she could smell his cologne- it was dark with a hint of spice.  The sweetness hit all her senses at once and she felt the urge to lick to kiss his neck, but she restrained herself. 

She lowered her voice almost to a whisper, “let’s go back to the apartment.”

Gerard gave her a soft, knowing smile.  He raised his eyebrows slightly, and whispered back in like, “sure, we can do that.”  Gerard always managed to distract her attention.  He was suave, she couldn’t deny that, and she was undeniably attracted to him.

They got up and walked to the taxi rank where Gerard hailed a cab.  The cab ride was about fifteen minutes to the apartment
, but for Jenn it might as well have been an hour. 

Jenn
sat up close next to Gerard and he put his arm around her and stroked her arm.  She put his hand on his thigh and drew circles with her finger.  They smiled and looked at each other as though they were going to kiss.  It was such an innocent moment, like two young, new lovers.  The cab driver was keen to their romance and was quick to distract their attention.

“So you are going to
the Mandalay Apartments?” asked the cabby.

“Yes, you can just drop us off at the round-about in the middle.” replied Gerard.

He leaned into her and whispered “I’m going to take my time with you when we get back.”

The cabby was keen to make sure nothing would happen in his cab. “So you both live here or just visiting?”

Gerard was onto the cabby’s ploy.  Jenn was amused by his attempts and slightly embarrassed at the thought that the cabby knew that they were going to go home to have sex.

“I live here,
she’s just visiting.” Gerard said with a sly arrogance.  Jenn giggled- the cabby almost seemed flustered every time they moved. 

‘Did he honestly think we would
get it on in the back of his taxi?’ Jenn thought amusing at the whole situation.

Partly to entice Gerard and partly to
aggravate the cabby, Jenn leaned towards Gerard’s ear, “I can’t wait to feel your hands all over my naked body.”
