Chapter Under The Stars
After dinner, Paul and James went off to make a campfire in the sitting area that overlooked the lake and was opposite the bay.
“She’s a good one,” Paul said as they were putting the fire together.
“Yeah.” James smiled before it faded slightly. “Though I just don’t know how she’d react to Julia showing up.”
“It’s not easy being a single dad, albeit a damn good one.” Paul stood up and looked at James.
James took a deep breath. “Thanks, Paul. You and Cathy...” His voice trailed off as Paul shook his hand.
“Julia is like a sister to the boys and second daughter to us, and you a brother. We would do anything for you guys and we know you would do the same.”
“Thanks,” James said.
“You going to tell her?” Paul asked.
“Julia?”
“Daphne,” Paul corrected.
“I just don’t know. It’s kind of scary and weird. We’ve only known each other a few days.”
“And you feel a bit guilty because of Silvia,” Paul added, seeing through him.
James let out a weak smile. There was no hiding anything from Paul or Cathy.
“How long were you going out with Silvia when you knew you would do anything to keep her?” Paul asked.
“Four dates,” James said softly, a sad look on his face.
“Silvia isn’t here anymore. She was a damn brilliant woman and Julia is a great little girl. She has already asked us if we could help you find a girl. She’s a smart one and she knows that you’re holding yourself back because of her and her mom.”
James focused on Paul before letting out a soft snort. “She can always see through my crap.”
“Just like her mother.” Paul grinned.
“Thanks, Paul,” James said.
“Always here if you need it. Now, can you hand me that paper?”
They continued building up the fire.
The two girls came down, drinking their wine and talking to each other as they brought big comforters with them.
“The fire’s not even lit yet. What were you two doing out here?” Cathy said with an accusatory gaze.
“Just having a chat.” Paul smiled, taking a lighter and putting it to the paper. It wasn’t long until the paper caught and started to spread to the rest of the wood they’d stacked up.
James caught Daphne’s eye and smiled before they both moved to one of the couches. They opened up the comforter and spread it out. James pulled Daphne in close and wrapped it around them as the fire took off and Paul moved to where Cathy was.
“So, what were you two gossiping about?” James asked Daphne.
“This and that,” Daphne said mysteriously.
James poked her side.
“Hey!” she complained. Her free hand pushed his finger down and held it on her leg as she sipped her wine.
James drank his beer as he moved his hand slightly, his finger slowly moving up and down her inner leg.
Cathy and Paul were chatting with each other, comfortably in their own world, and looking out at the stars and the lake.
Daphne’s hand moved, grabbing at his shorts, quickly making him grow larger as she ran her nails over the cloth of his shorts.
James’s fingers tapped on her jean shorts between her legs, feeling the heat that was being generated there. James couldn’t help but remember their time in the camper. He pulled his hand away and wrapped it around her shoulders, pulling her in close. “Later,” James said next to her ear.
“Now who’s the tease,” Daphne said.
The look in her eyes as she pulled her hand back ignited James’s lust. He wanted to rip the comforter and her clothes off, to take her right beside the fire.
He took a deep breath and drank from his beer, calming himself. “You’re too damn tempting—it’s impossible to resist,” James whispered back.
Daphne took a pleased sip from her wine glass.
“You’re going to have to show me around these different food places you go to when you’re back in Toronto,” James said.
“Oh?” Daphne said.
James didn’t catch her change in expression as she was looking away, sipping from her glass.
“Be more fun with the best-looking girl on my arm, if you want to go,” James said.
Daphne laughed and smiled at him coyly. “You just want to see me in a dress.”
“Mmm, in a dress…ripping the dress off.” James seemed thoughtful as his mind was filled with the images of her in the throes of pleasure.
“For a man with a brain so big, you’re pretty simple.” Daphne smiled.
“I don’t remember Miss Hot Shot Lawyer complaining,” James said in her ear, his voice turning deep and husky.
Daphne shivered and let out a shaky breath. “You keep that up and we won’t be able to stay here long,” she whispered back, her eyes filled with desire.
“I’m hoping it’ll be a long night,” James said truthfully, holding her gaze and slowly looking to her lips and back up to her eyes.
Daphne shook herself and moved her legs, biting her lower lip slightly.
James kissed her, pulling her tongue into his mouth and slowly pulling back. Their eyes opened and they looked at each other.
James could feel the restriction of his pants as his lust was starting to cloud his judgment. He sat back, trying to calm himself. He looked up at the stars as the fire burned and crackled in its fire pit.
“It’s peaceful out here.” Daphne moved to get more comfortable and used him as a cushion.
“That it is. Nice to get away,” James said. “And meet new people.”
They shared a smile and looked to the stars.
They talked about irrelevant stuff and pointed out star constellations they knew. A few shooting stars appeared in the night sky.
The night wound down and before long, Daphne stretched and stood up. “Thank you for having me over but I think I’m heading to bed,” Daphne said to Cathy and Paul.
“Okay, well, it was great having you over and we’ll see you later.” Cathy smiled and the two of them hugged, leaving Paul in the comforter.
“I’ll walk her home,” James offered, pulling the comforter together.
Paul indicated the comforter. “I’ve got that. See you guys later.”
“Thanks,” James said as Daphne and he made their exit.
James felt his desire coming back even hotter than before as they made it to Daphne’s camper.
“Well, thank you for the walk.” Daphne turned to him.
James put one hand on her ass, the other holding the back of her neck as he pushed his body against hers into the camper, pinning her there. As they kissed, their bodies moved against each other. Daphne let out a low moan her back arching ; one of her hands pulled on his back and her other fingers got tangled up in his hair.
James pressed against her lower stomach.
It took some minutes before they disengaged and Daphne fumbled for her keys, opening the door to the camper.
James followed her in, closing and locking the door. She threw the keys to the side as he grabbed her, picking her up and pushing her into the cabinets on the other side of the camper.
She pulled on his shirt, ripping it off him.
He pulled off her shirt and unsnapped her bra. With one hand on her back, his lips pressed to hers. He massaged her breast, drawing her nipple into his forefinger and thumb and he pulled on it lightly. Her nipples turned rock hard as she increased the speed that she kissed him and pulled at his pants, pulling them down and releasing James’s engorged dick.
He undid her jean shorts and pulled them off; she gasped, holding onto the counter and pushing off of James so she wouldn’t fall. He pulled it off of one leg, along with her shoe.
He pulled back and put his finger in her mouth; she sucked on it as he kissed the side of her neck, getting a shudder.
She gasped as his wet finger traced one of her nipples. Following her navel and past the manicured bush, he gently coaxed her, making her bite her lip and push her head back against the cabinets as James continued to kiss down her body.
His mouth reached his fingers, kissing the inside of her legs as she spread herself more. He looked up to her. She looked at him, and then banged her head against the cabinet again as he took his time, slowly teasing her and letting out slow kisses right next to her heat.
The tip of his tongue replaced his fingers.
She grabbed the hair on his head with one hand as she grabbed the cabinets with the other.
James pushed back against her hand, not willing to give her everything yet. He had payback for all the teasing she had done.
He sucked gently at the opening. The muscles in her legs twitched as his middle finger moved back in, entering her as he gently coaxed her from the inside and outside.
Daphne’s hand that had been on the cabinets moved to her breast as she pinched her nipple and pressed against her breast.
James couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed one of her legs and put it over her shoulder as he stood. He pushed inside her, letting out a low groan.
Daphne’s eyes flashed as he fully entered her.
He started off slow. The building excitement made them both twitchy as his rhythm built. Rocking his hips back and forth, he slammed against her. He grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in for a hungry kiss. She bit his lip roughly and pulled him back in as he pulled away, her breasts against his chest. His rhythm only increased in speed. He bit the side of her neck and teased her earlobe as he felt himself reaching his max.
Daphne held her leg up and bit her forefinger to stop herself from yelling out.
James could feel himself coming close; he knew he couldn’t stop it. The smell of her filled his mind and world.
Just thinking of her was intoxicating, but being with her drove him wild. He pulled back and slowed down the rhythm, still using his full length. He took in her face of pleasure and her attempts to hold back any noises that might escape.
“Ohh, shit.” James shuddered as he looked at her body covered in a slight sweat. He leaned in close as his speed ramped up and Daphne’s little squeals echoed in the small space.
He felt her free leg clamp around him, pulling him in. “You drive me crazy.”
He couldn’t stop himself or slow down as he reached his end. He pulled backward and out, releasing on her stomach. His body shook; his every muscle tensed as his toes curled and sweat covered his body.
Daphne dropped her leg and slipped down from the counter. “I haven’t been stretched that well in a while.” She let out a deep sigh as she pulled James in, kissing him.
He pulled her to him, his hand grabbing her cheek.
“Well, you said you did yoga—I was just testing it out,” James said, panting slightly still.
“Let me grab a towel.”
James moved out of her way.
She put a finger on his chest and pushed him backward, swaying her hips to either side. Every step made her breasts shake.
James felt the bed behind him as he was pushed back. He fell, landing on the bed, and looked up at her.
“I’ll be back in a minute.” She turned.
James held his head up with his hands, looking at her ass as she walked away and jumped into the bathroom.
He laid back, his heart pumping. He felt alive.
Daphne returned with a towel. She dropped to her knees at the edge of the bed, cleaning him up.
His vitality was coming back as he sat up on his elbows.
She placed him inside her mouth, causing him to fall back. He let out a shaky breath as she used her mouth and hand. She pulled off, her tongue playing across his head, making it twitch and shake.
“Seems you’re awake again.” She sank back down on him.
James was slowly being driven insane as she released him.
She licked her fingers and played with herself.
James made to sit up.
“Move back,” she said.
James did so as she stepped on the bed, spreading herself and lowering herself down.
They both let out sighs as she impaled herself, slowly lowering herself all the way to the base.
She started to ride him, slowly at first. She leaned backward. The moonlight shone off her body, making it hard for James to contain himself as he watched her ride him.
She picked up speed and started to stay upright, showing off her full body, circling her hips around as she pushed her hair back and held onto her breast.
Her movements set James on fire. He licked his fingers and gently teased her, making her eyes open in shock. Her rhythm increased in speed and she clamped down on him, starting to almost shake from the stimulation.
James didn’t move too fast, just slightly and enough, slowly pushing her close to the edge.
She was losing control over her legs as her muscles started to twitch.
He shifted his legs, lining them up as he started to meet her, pushing more fully into her. He grabbed her hips as he drove himself forward. She fell forward, her hands on either side of him. Their hips slammed together. Her breasts shook just above his face and he couldn’t resist—he teased them with his tongue and teeth.
“Yes, oh, yes!” Daphne slammed back into him, her eyes closed. She whipped her hair out of her face and looked up.
James quickly wet his fingers from her juices and rapidly played with her.
She collapsed, biting his shoulder. He felt her letting out screams and moans. It only drove him faster as she convulsed, her entire body tightening and releasing. He took his fingers away and slowed his pace. He was already reaching his end as he felt her twitching around him.
He flipped her over and pulled out, releasing on her stomach. She looked up at him in ecstasy, her body shaking, showing off her toned body and her hard nipples.
James spat on his hand. Taking both of hers, he pinned them back.
She looked at him with a cloudy but confused expression.
He put two fingers in her opening, quickly pushing in and out as she struggled and pushed back against the sheets.
He pulled out and massaged her with his fingertips; her body started to twitch.
“Don’t stop!” she said as he put his fingers inside her. She let out a breath as he pulled out and once again massaged her.
She let out a coughing scream, biting her lip so hard it turned white as she bucked underneath him.
James pulled away and released her hands as he slumped down beside her, his chest heaving as the sheets stuck to him.
“Holy shit,” Daphne said.
“Yeah,” James said breathlessly. He took another breath and searched for the towel, quickly cleaning himself off and passing it to Daphne, who cleaned herself off as well.
She wrapped a leg over his hip, curling around his side. As he reached down, his hand got a plump handful of her ass. She still shivered slightly and her nipples pressed into his side.
“That…was orgasmic,” Daphne said.
James looked at her and she looked back. The two of them laughed as they settled down, both of them tired.
“I think you woke up the entire camp,” James said.
“All your fault,” Daphne purred, a pleased smile spreading across her sleepy face as she slowly woke up.
James turned over and kissed her, slow and deep.
She opened her eyes and looked back at him.
“I think it was worth it,” James said.
“Hmm…” Daphne started.
She relented as James’s hand moved closer to her assets, shuddering as he ran a finger over her now highly sensitive nipples.
“S-stop.”
James relented with a knowing smile before rolling back into his sprawled out position. James yawned and closed his eyes, Daphne at his side.
It didn’t take long before he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
***
Daphne woke up to the smell of coffee and the sound of the shower.
She cracked her eye open, looking at her coffee maker that was running and seeing the door to the shower was closed.
She stretched like a cat, a demure smile on her face as she thought about last night.
She found a sheet over her and let out a sigh. She knew that it couldn’t last. Already she was moving too fast and she had so much she needed to do. The problem was that it felt so good; she wanted to stay but she knew that it wasn’t possible.
Her eyes caught on that notebook as she fell into thought, thinking about her ideas, her plan that seemed to unravel in her head.
It was risky. There was no guarantee that she would get any business or that it would work, but she was willing to try.
To follow those dreams, she would have to rely on herself. She hadn’t relied on anyone else up to this point and she wouldn’t have the time for a relationship.
These thoughts made that smile on her face fade.
The shower turned off. She shook her head, clearing her thoughts, and got up, moving to the coffee machine to make herself a cup.
It wasn’t long until James came out of the shower with a towel. “Hope you don’t mind me using your towel.”
“No worries.” She smiled as he moved closer, his skin still damp as he pushed her up against the counter.
She looked up into his eyes, feeling the strength returning to his lower body as her body tingled once again from last night.
James looked at her, clearly wanting another kiss, but he pulled back and started gathering his clothes.
“You going to get Julia?” Daphne asked.
“Yeah,” James said, looking ot her to gauge her reaction.
“Do you want to meet her, it’s okay if you don’t want to,” James said, Daphne could almost see the vulnerability in his eyes.
She felt torn as she forced a smile.
“Yeah sure,” She said feeling guilty inside as another party of her mind had made a decision. She didn’t want to get suckled into this thing, whatever this thing was, she just wanted some fun, she didn’t want a relationship, or a kid, it was too sudden, too scary.
She thought she would be okay, but seeing James, she just didn’t want to break this little fantasy that they had going on.
Internally she was already planning out how to escape, to try and save her self from it all.
“Sorry, it’s a long drive, so I’m going to grab her and the boys from their camp. They’ve got the next two days off,” James said, a loving smile on his face.
“All right, I’ll be off, but I’ll see you later.” He pulled his shirt on and stood. He pulled her to him with one arm, giving her a slow kiss as one of his fingers sneaked around back, parting her lower lips slightly, making her step back in shock as her gaze turned heated.
He winked and with that, he was out the door, heading up to the cabin.
Daphne walked to her couch and sat down, looking at the notebook on her table. She could see out of her blinds as he got in his truck and drove away. She looked over her own notes and the ideas there.
Thoughts flittered through her mind before she finally came to a decision. It wasn’t an easy one.
She put down the coffee and cleaned up her camper.
