breathtaking; the lake was shaped like a great big kidney bean, and they were at the southeastern most point. When you looked to the west, you could see the town of Amulet and then all the cabins and houses wrapped around to the south from there, all the lights twinkling off the water. Directly to their east, just a few hundred yards away from where they were, was a huge cliff that jutted upward from the water and wrapped around to the north, ending just before a clearing that the city owned and where most of the town’s celebrations happened, as well as the public beach access and a few of the more upscale houses in town. The northern half of the “bean” was mostly hills and forests and Sara knew that there was only one cabin on that part of the water, but she had no idea who lived there.
“You want to eat now, Sara?” Darrin yelled from the pick-up.
Sara smiled as she walked back across the lot, swatting at the grasshoppers that were jumping out of the tall weeds. “Sorry, I wanted to see the view is all.”
Darrin had the door of the truck open, and was standing on the running board, leaning in between the door and the frame of the truck. He looked Sara up and down before answering with a grin, “I know. I’ve been enjoying the view myself.”
Sara could feel her cheeks warming as she continued to walk over to the truck. Shaking her head from side to side, she smiled back at him and answered, “Thanks, Darrin. It’s been a long time since anyone has talked about me that way.” Darrin jumped down from the truck, reaching behind him to grab the bags, handing them to her. He grabbed the pizza box and a blanket from the back seat, and started walking towards the water.
There was a small bit of sandy beach on the west side of the dock, and Darrin headed that way. He set the pizza down, and then spread the blanket on top of the sand. He stretched himself out and started to pull Sara down towards him before she could protest. Landing in his lap, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back so that she sat sideways, directly on top of his groin. Once he had gotten comfortable, he rested his chin on her shoulder, leaning against the side of her head.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, listening to the water lap against the dock before Sara could feel her tummy protest, especially since there was a mouth-watering pizza waiting for them. She started to wriggle in Darrin’s lap to get him to loosen his hold on her, but instead he gripped her tighter. “You keep moving like that I will pin you down to this blanket and have my way with you, Sara.” Feeling a bit brazen, she did it again, laughing to herself as Darrin growled seductively in her ear, “You’re going to pay for that, doll baby.”
Sara giggled at his term of endearment, as he nuzzled closer to her neck, softly kissing the sensitive skin under her earlobe. Sara’s laughter turned into soft moans of pleasure as he continued to torment her with his mouth, sucking and nuzzling all the way under her jaw, turning her face to move across to her other ear.
All thoughts of eating dinner flew away as he spread his legs out to the sides, letting Sara slip into the cradle of his thighs. Darrin grabbed both of her wrists in one hand, flattening his other hand between her breasts and pushing her backwards, as he used the grip on her wrists to ease her down on the blanket. Once her back was resting on the blanket, he let go of her wrists, but grabbed her right leg and swung it over his head to the other side so that she was resting on top of his thighs. He leaned forward just enough to press a gentle kiss against her belly, before pulling her back up by her arms again. Sara felt like a limp rag doll as he positioned her body where he wanted it, and it felt wonderful to be taken control of again, even if not exactly what she was expecting from Darrin.
Darrin slipped his hands under her T-shirt, skimming his fingers around to her backside. He firmly
