Read Any Good Books Lately?

Mary and Gray dried themselves hurriedly with the rough towels kept in the cedar cabinet next to the hot springs, and then dressed as quickly as they could. They ran for her house, their slightly wet hair threatening to freeze in the below zero weather. Mary’s parents had suggested that Gray have dinner with them for his birthday. When they got there, however, they were both surprised to see her parents bundling up to go out, suitcases in hand.

“What’s going on, Mother?” Mary asked breathlessly.

Anna smiled apologetically. “I know this is sudden, but we’re going to a flower festival in another town, where it is still warm this time of year. We happened to run into Lillia at the supermarket, and she told me about a letter she had received today from Popuri. It seems there is this amazing festival we’d never even heard of in a town that Kai and Popuri have stopped in, and of course your father,” she rolled her eyes towards Basil, whose handsome face was beaming at the thought of flowers in winter, “just had to go. So, we’re meeting Zack at the beach. He’ll ferry us over to the train station. We’ll be gone about a week, but I know you’ll be all right.”

Basil clapped Gray on the shoulder. “Take care of Mary, son.” Gray’s mouth was open in shock. “Of course, you’re welcome to stay here while we’re gone to look after her.” Basil gestured at the kitchen. “We just stocked up today, so you two should be fine for the week.” He then gestured at the wine cabinet. “Help yourself to that if you like, just not the ones on the top shelf.” He winked at Gray, whose eyes were bugging out in surprise. “Those are for a special occasion, you know?”

Mary’s parents then gathered themselves up, kissing Mary goodbye. Basil shook Gray’s hand. “I know we promised you dinner for your birthday, and I’m sorry about that. But you two enjoy yourselves.” They left then, hurrying towards the beach to meet Zack.

Mary and Gray just stood still in shock for a few moments. They slowly looked at each other. “What just happened there?” Gray asked.

“I have absolutely no idea,” Mary responded.

“Did…did your father just tell me to stay here with you and drink his wine? Or am I having hallucinations from the cold?”

Mary shook her head. “Not unless I’m having them too. That’s what he said.” She clasped Gray’s hands happily. “Oh, Gray, do you realized what this means? We can pretend we’re married for a week!”

A grin slowly spread across Gray’s face. “Yeah…” he said, pulling Mary in for a kiss.

Mary then set to work making him a birthday dinner. They talked happily as Mary worked. Gray tried to lend a hand, but Mary insisted that he just relax, because it was his birthday, after all.

Dinner was wonderful. Mary had been hesitant to prepare baked corn for two meals in a row, but Gray had insisted that was what he wanted. “I could eat baked corn every day!” he proclaimed.

When dinner was over, they excitedly climbed the stairs to Mary’s room. When they got inside, Mary gently pushed Gray onto the bed, and told him to stay there. “Close your eyes and don’t peek, okay?” she implored him. Gray shut his eyes, but teased her by cracking one open slightly. “Oh, you!” she said, and fished an eyemask out of her nightstand, strapping it on over his head. “There you go. And seriously, don’t peek!”

Gray nodded, his eyes totally obscured. He could just hear rustling noises, and he thrilled himself by trying to imagine what was going on. After a few minutes, he finally heard Mary’s voice. “All right, you can look now,” she whispered shyly.

Gray removed his mask and was stunned. There was his Mary, looking totally different. Her long black hair, which she always wore down, was pulled up in a high, loose ponytail, with soft curling tendrils falling down on the sides of her face. Her glasses were off, and she had black mascara on her eyelashes, making them even darker and longer than before. She was wearing cherry red lipstick. And on her body…she wore a cherry red bra with matching panties. Gray couldn’t believe his eyes. He loved Mary no matter how she looked, but this was just amazing.

She stood a little ways away from the bed, looking nervous. He realized because she didn’t have her glasses on, she couldn’t see the expression on his face, and all she had to go on was his absolute silence. He cleared his throat and spoke. “You…you look so amazing…” he managed to get out.

Mary breathed a sigh of relief. “Good…I thought maybe I looked ridiculous.”

“No, no, not at all!” Gray exclaimed. “You look so sexy…” he whispered.

Mary smiled shyly and walked slowly towards him, wobbling just a little and reaching out to grab the bed, limited by her poor eyesight. She climbed up on the bed with him and crawled in for a kiss. Gray stroked her arm and gazed into her eyes. “I like your hair like that,” he whispered to her. Mary just smiled and leaned in for another kiss. Their kisses quickly became more heated, and Gray’s hands wandered over Mary’s skimpily clad body. He groaned as her hand found its way into his lap and touched his very hard manhood through his pants. She stroked him for a moment, then both her hands went to his shoulders and gently pushed him back on the bed, into the pillows. Gray was surprised but went with it.

Mary kissed a trail from his mouth to his chest. She unbuttoned his shirt as she went, planting soft, moist kisses straight down the middle until she reached his navel. There, her fingers worked at his belt. Gray moaned as he realized what she intended to do. She had his belt open and quickly undid the button and zipper, and with his help eased his pants down his hips. She continued her trail of kisses below his navel, to the waistband of his boxers. She kept moving down, kissing his hardness through the fabric. Gray sighed and reached down to stroke her hair. Mary then took her small hands to the waistband and tugged his boxers down suddenly, his erection popping out. Gray gasped as Mary took him in her hands and pressed her lips softly to the tip. Her tongue slowly crept out of her mouth , and she licked there very softly for a moment, causing Gray to groan in pleasurable frustration. She then took the whole tip in her mouth, lightly sucking there while squeezing the rest of him with her hands. Gray dug his hands into her soft sheets, grunting and thrusting his hips up at her, urging her to take more in her mouth. She complied, her mouth moving down, then coming back up. She worked him like that for a few moments, then swirled her tongue around quickly, making him cry out in pleasure. He was so turned on, that it didn’t take long before he was gritting his teeth, bucking his hips, and crying out her name in ecstasy. Mary kept him in her mouth for a few more moments, then carefully unwrapped her lips from around him, and came up to nestle next to him, resting her head on his shoulder. Gray struggled to catch his breath. “Happy birthday to me,” he panted.

They laid there for a while, snuggling happily. Then, Mary languidly traced her fingers down his chest, past his stomach, and squeezed him lightly down there to see if he was ready for more. He quickly reacted, his manhood engorging once again, and he rolled on top of her, kissing her urgently. His naked and still slightly damp member pressed into her through her satiny red panties. He could tell just from the slick way her panties moved against her that she was already very wet. With her help, he removed her bra and flicked his tongue across her sensitive pale skin, making her cry out in delight. He worked his hands over her hips and thighs, squeezing and stroking. He then eased her panties off carefully. Without even budging from underneath him, her slim arm reached out and back to the nightstand drawer, opened it, and fished out a condom. Gray kissed her neck hungrily as she tore at the plastic, getting it out and then rolling it down over him with one hand. As soon as it was on, he didn’t hesitate, plunging inside of her with one thrust. Mary cried out happily, and they grinded against each other.

Gray took his hands to the undersides of her thighs. She bent her knees and he pushed her thighs forward, so that the tops of her thighs were pressing towards her chest. The different angle felt incredible to both of them. Gray leaned forward and took her mouth in a kiss. He thrust eagerly into her for a few more moments until she gasped hotly, “Let me get on top of you.”

He happily complied, pulling out and moving onto his back next to her. She swung her leg over him and climbed on him, carefully easing him back inside. He reached forward and put his hands on her waist, marveling at how beautiful her body was. Her small, perfect breasts, her feminine shoulders, her slim waist. Mary, meanwhile, was working herself up and down on top of him. Her breathing suddenly changed and she pressed down heavily into him. She bit her lip hard and closed her eyes as a long moan emanated from her throat. Gray thrust up into her as she climaxed, and the incredible feeling she gave him made him climax as well. He threw his head back, crying out in complete bliss.

Mary relaxed her body down on to his, kissing his sweaty mouth softly, and then resting her head in the crook of his neck and shoulder. Gray brought his hands up to stroke her back gently. “This is going to be a fun week…” Mary whispered into his ear. Gray just grinned happily.
