"I'm not telling you, but thoughts do come to my mind. Tie you up maybe and do mean things to you."
"Now you have me worried."
"The bet is made lover."
Chapter One Hundred Thirty Eight
They were well into their trip and well away from the hectic pace of the interstate, and Owen was leaning back with his knees almost resting against the dashboard as he watched the countryside slip by them. "Know where we are?" he asked her with a smile.
"Not exactly, now what do you say to that?"
"I'm at a loss for that to say, so care to add to that?"
"Well I know we need to go west and we're doing that, and eventually we'll get to the interstate we'll need to be on, but right now I want to do this," and she pulled over to the shoulder and stopped. "Get your camera ready stud," and she opened the door, stepped out and somewhat quickly looked up and down the road. Owen was smiling and holding his camera, but he didn't have a clue what she was up to. That is until she pulled her skirt down and off, tossed that inside and followed the skirt with her panties which she did her best to toss to him. "Here honey, take those home and show them to Nila as you tell her what we did. Then she boldly paused outside as she kept her eye on the road in both directions as Owen got a couple of candid shots of Alana's naked pelvic region. "I know," she told him as she bent down and into the car. "You drive for awhile," and she calmly walked around in front of the car and opened the door while Owen smiled and stared in surprise. He did however manage to get another picture of her as she slid into the car on the passenger side.
"Damn you woman, you're determined to drive me crazy."
"Honey, you just drive us west while I drive you crazy, but don't pull your man out because you have to focus on your driving."
"You can bet I'll manage to get more pictures of you my sexy one."
"Great," and she smiled as she looked ahead and Owen pulled back onto the road.
"have you ever done anything like this before?"
"I never have, have you?"
"I wish, but no. No honey, you're serving me large portions of erotic firsts actually."
"Wonderful. Now I know how to keep my mind away from tomorrow's task," and she slowly played with herself and Owen took more pictures until he let the right tires slip off of the edge of the road. "Careful stud."
"I'm going to be a drooling fool before this trip is over."
"I love to tease you."
"And there is nowhere I'd rather be right now."
"Don't ever let Nila know you said that."
"I don't plan to. Now be honest, do you wish Dan was here rather than me?"
"Oh no honey, you and I are doing this just right, and no, I'm not planning on telling Dan about most of this unless circumstances change."
"I won't ask what you mean by that."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have added that last part."
"Are you planning on riding all the way to Springfield like you are?"
"No, I was planning to do this," and she smiled as she removed her top and then her bra as he slowed down and she leaned back. "Maybe there are advantages to being skinny. It's easier for me to get away with this than if I was full figured. God Owen, this all feels so very sinful and so sexy."
"Alana my love, you are totally sexy," and he took her picture again and then again before he added, "Yes, I'll show those to Nila too, and you can count on that."
Turning toward him a little gave him a better view between her legs, and told him, "I detect something in the tone of what you just said. Care to elaborate just a little, or would that violate some sacred vow?"
"It would not," and he told her about the New York experience and how that caused him to go berserk and kick Nila out of his house.
"Oh my God Owen, but why did you...I mean considering what you've been able to experience." On he went with his tale until she knew every detail about Nila's reticence to flash or to tease him and then go to New York and do so much more with Jake.
"I'm so sorry honey. That really had to hurt a lot. I have to believe there's something in Nila that we're not understanding, but she didn't handle herself well at all. I am glad though that you two are working past that. So now she's more willing to be daring and to please you right?"
"We'll see. We really are just getting back together, and I still have that issue to get past, so only time will tell."
"I guess I'm not helping by teasing you then."
"Alana honey, you're helping more than you can imagine, and please, whatever you do, be yourself and do what you want to do. I'm having a fantastic time on our little sojourn." Then he stopped and asked her, "Which way do I turn here, left or right?"
She smiled and said, "I don't know, pick one."
"You are so totally crazy baby," and he turned left, which, by some luck just happened to be the correct way. Minutes later he said, "We're coming to a little town just in case you want to dress."
"I'll just slip down like this," and she smiled at him as they drove through the little burg and past the flashing light and out into the country again.
"I think you and I should take a long trip together."
It was a moment before Alana said, "I'd love that, but I'm afraid we might get arrested before we got home. That or we'd fall so in love that we'd never go home."
Surprised by her comment he looked over at her and she just smiled before she looked out of her side window without adding more. But a minute later, and as much to get away from what she had just said, she asked him, "Of the women you've been with recently, and excluding me and Nila, which woman impressed you the most. The chesty young one?"
"Impressed in what way? As eye candy, as a quick carnal tease, as an afternoon delight maybe, or as something with a little more substance?"
"You're surprising me with your questions. Okay, let's go with substance."
"Other than you or Nila it would probably be Wendy."
Sitting up a little straighter, she looked over at him and asked, "Why would you choose that Wendy?"
"It occurred to me that she's a lot like you. Lean, so very sexy, bright and quick, daring, exciting and yet there's that ability to love and to be loved."
"My God Owen, you make it sound like I'm perfect, and we both know that isn't the case."
"Of course you aren't, and neither am I, but I'm just answering your question."
"I'd like to meet this Wendy one day."
"I'll see what I can do to make that happen."
"Who else?"
"Kathy."
"Oh my God, I never would have seen that one coming."
"She isn't one for long sexy legs or stunning beauty, but she does have an all around sweet, healthy and pretty quality that I find very pleasing. She also has this quality...this unknown thing that makes me want to be close to her and to know more and more about her. She intrigues me, and she challenges my senses. That I'm sure makes no sense to you, but I'm at a loss to explain her in any other way."
I think understood all of that. "And me?"
He looked at her for a long second before he looked straight ahead again and said, "Alana, you're so much more than stunning legs and a sweet butt. I like...no I love your sense of adventure that I never realized you had until recently. I love your verve for life. You have a quick mind and I do believe you are passionate about things. Not just in lovemaking, but when you enjoy something, you really enjoy it. You grasp life with both hands. And of course I do love you, which of course totally defies explanation."
"I question how you see me, but thank you lover. This is working for me, so let's continue."
"Okay, but you better lay your top over your chest while we ease through this small town."
As the last little store and cluster of old houses slipped behind them Alana pulled put her top on the center console and smiled at Owen as she said, "There, now I'm back to the new me. Want to hear how I see you and think of you?"
"Only if you're kind and gentle."
"You're happy and full of life. You're sweet and caring and you have those dangerous silvery blue eyes that take my breath away. Handsome in a way, but not model handsome, and just for the record, and for me at least, that's a good thing. You're searching for something that is missing in your life."
"Really?"
"I guess that could be said of many people, but yes, I believe you are. I don't see that as a bad thing, and that may not matter at all, but that's what I think. You love all women and if you're not careful, some might say you wear your heart on your sleeve."
"I don't love other women like I love you and Nila though."
"Ooh, bad form baby, Nila and me you meant to say I'm sure." He just smiled as she continued with, "Now be honest, don't you love some of the other women in your life?"
"Honestly?"
"Of course. We both have to be totally honest in this game."
"Oh, well okay then. To answer your question, no. I don't love others beyond the friendship or relative level. I love my cousin Linda to death, but not in the same way that I love you and Nila."
"Baby, you did that again. Don't make that mistake if you ever tell Nila you love me. You mentioned Wendy earlier, and if I remember, that was the woman from the party and the wedding."
"That's her."
"But you don't love her."
"No, I do admire her and I'm infatuated with her to the max, but I don't love her.
Chapter One Hundred Thirty Nine
They made it to dinner at Bloomington about an hour later than now dressed Alana had planned, and then she chose the Crowne Plaza. Owen smiled at her before he made the turn and she said, "I think this special trip with you calls for this very nice motel."
"I think this very special trip with you calls for much more than we'll have time for."
It wasn't until they were in their room and the door was closed before they shared their first deep kiss. "Oh God Owen, I'm so glad you're with me, and that your past is as screwed up as mine is. I don't think anybody else can really appreciate what I went through better than you."
They were still locked in their embrace as he told her, "And still I can't truly imagine your shock. But until that horrible day, you were having a very wild summer staring at your neighbors."
"You're right, I was really enjoying all of that, and I was growing up and changing by the day, and didn't even realize it. But I was always so full of unanswered questions and struggled with half accurate information from my friends. Compared to the way things are now, we were so ill informed back then, and there was no way I could ask my parents of course. Until the end I didn't want to say or do anything that might end my gawking at my naked neighbors. Okay, we're getting into that awful area too much. I want to do something special for you baby."
"I'm yours to command."
"Go out into the hall with your camera and lean against the wall across from our door and wait until I tell you more."
"Gladly," and then he was gone, but his camera was on and ready.
Only a couple of minutes later she cracked the door and softly asked him, "Is there anybody in the hallway?"
"It's quiet as a tomb out here."
She opened the door and stood naked in the doorway smiling at him. "Is this what you wanted with your hobby baby?"
"Oh damn it Alana, yes," and he was popping photos of her instantly, but then she dared to look up and down the hallway and then stepped out and slowly moved from pose to pose until she lost her courage and stepped back into their room and smiled at him.
"Want more honey?" she asked him.
"I want more and more of you honey. I could never get enough of you."
"I have an idea, but we'll have to wait until later. Much later."
He knew their little photo session was over, so he joined her inside saying, "I just have to have you," and as he reached for his shirt she was undoing his belt.
Their lovemaking was fast and intense, and surprisingly long as she stared up into his dangerous eyes and urged him to go deeper, harder and faster. Her hands were riding his warm sweat slicked sides as she asked him, "Do you really love me Owen?"
"I love you so very much Alana," and she smiled and urged him on until both of them were finally spent and he lay next to her.
Rolling on her side toward him, she caressed the side of his face and smiled as she said, "Well we've finally made love, but now I want more and more of you. This night isn't going to be nearly long enough."
"I wonder what it would take for us to finally admit that we've had long enough."
"Assuming we could reach that point."
"Are we still playing the totally honest game?"
"Always honey, always."
"Does Dan bug you about flashing and things like that?"
"No, that really isn't his big thing. I surprise him with little stunts sometimes and he likes that, but nothing like what you and I have shared. You've told me how Nila is about that, so there again I think you and I are perfect for each other."
"We are perfect for each other. Dangerously perfect."
"And yet Nila is better looking than I am and I really like her a lot. I should be ashamed of screwing her fiancée, but I'm not."
"We should both be ashamed, but this has been building between you and me for too long. Nila really expected us to make love."
"Really? And still she said yes to this trip. I'm very impressed. Of course she can't possibly have any idea of what you and I really do share now."
"I don't think I'll ever get into that with her either. I do love her very much and I don't want to lose her."
"Good for you honey," and she slipped down until she took him in her hand and mouth. "Relax while you can baby, because we're not done with this night."
It wasn't long before they made love again, but the surprise she had planned for him wasn't to be, because they fell asleep next to each other and hardly stirred until after seven in the morning when Owen sat up and saw Alana standing at the foot of the bed. "Good morning my very sexy and fantastic lover. Been up long?"
"Just minutes is all," and she opened the drapes and stood there totally naked. "Looks like it will be a pretty day."
"From where I am it's already a pretty day lady."
She smiled and walked back to the bed and almost threw herself onto him saying, "You are so sweet and I love you."
He explored her smooth warm butt and on up to the curve in her back before he told her, "Damn it, I don't want this time to be over."
"And we can never really share any of this with anybody. This is all about you and me and just between you and me, but I'm okay with that."
"But behaving around others after this trip is going to be really tough."
"It's going to be almost painful."
"Be sure to screw Dan until he begs for mercy. Maybe that will help you."
"Is that what you're planning for Nila?"
"Well with us still feeling our way out of our crisis, I'm not sure. I'm getting there, but I'm struggling with that damn Jake issue. I just need time I'm sure."
"Give her time and room baby. Like I said, there may be something in her that we just can't understand. Forgive, but don't expect to forget is what it comes down to."
"Is that like with Dan and June?"
She smiled and said, "Yes in a way, but on a much smaller scale. Now that you and I are together, that whole event isn't as important as it was before. That's it, my life B.O and my life A.O."
"What's that for?"
"My life before Owen and my life after Owen. No, that's not right, because my life will never be after you. Only without you far more than I'd like. Maybe one day Dan will have another round with June, you and I will have our special time and Nila will have a go with some other guy for an afternoon."
"The big swap."
"That's it, the big swap, now there's a goal worth working for. Now I'm going to ask this one more time honey. Will you show the photos to Nila?"
"Absolutely yes my love. Will you show them to Dan?"
She thought about that for a second before she said, "I hadn't given that a thought, but maybe, if and when the time is right I could do that. I might even be able to turn that into a real porn weekend. Tease him with a few, screw each other silly and then pump him up again with more sexy pictures of us."
"Um, us?"
"Sure, I still have to get some more of you and maybe of us together somehow."
"We better come up with something now, because we'll be on the road home later."
She smiled and said, "Then get up baby and let's create some pictures of us together.
Chapter One Hundred Forty
The time had finally come for them to go see Alana's parents, and Owen drove as she read the directions to him. As soon as they knew which house it was, she had him stop so she could just stare at it for a minute. "This isn't where we lived back then of course, so I'm not struggling with those visual issues and that helps a little."
"Remember baby, I'm right here with you, so hold my hand and maybe in a couple of hours or so this will be done."
"I'll be okay I'm sure. This is just something that I have to see through."
"You never mentioned it, but didn't you ever have a good friend over to see the naked neighbors?"
That elicited a small smile as she said, "Andrea, my best friend came over a lot, and we'd sun topless behind the garage and talk and be silly. Anyway, she watched them with me a few of those times. She was the only one that I felt sure I could trust with my secret."
"Where is she now?"
Alana stopped staring at her parent's house and looked at him before she admitted, "My God, I don't even know. I wonder where she is and what's going on in her life now."
"Might be kind of interesting to look her up if that's possible, and just have a long afternoon of wallowing through the past with her."
"Maybe after I get home from this I'll get into that idea. My God, I wonder why I didn't think about this sooner."
"You've had a lot of other things to think about, and until just recently, I'm sure you were burying that whole part of your past deep into the recesses of your mind."
"I worked very hard to forget my sixteenth year for a very long time."
"You didn't say what you did after you saw them. Did you go live somewhere else?"
"With my grandparents part of the time, but the rest of the time, I just pulled into my own little world."
"When did they learn that you had watched them?"
"The day I left for college. That wasn't a nice separation as you can imagine. I told them and went out to my waiting friends without waiting to hear what they might say. I kept in touch with them for awhile, but that faded and I never went home again."
"Wow."
"Let's get this over with honey. By the way, their names are Irene and Doug."
"Irene is your mother, right?" She looked at him and then smiled a little as he added, "Just trying to lighten the moment a little."
"Thank you, and any other time that would have been very funny." Then he pulled forward and into their driveway.
Her mother was almost timid as she opened the door, and she and Alana locked eyes for a second before Irene stepped back and almost whispered, "Come in."
Doug was standing back a little and simply said, "Hi Alana."
"Hi. This is my husband Owen," and he looked at her with almost frightened eyes.
Owen was struck dumb from being introduced as her husband, but Irene stepped closer and offered her hand as she said, "We're so glad to meet you at last Owen."
Doug shook his hand saying let's go to the living room," and he led the way.
Owen didn't know what he expected really, but neither of them were anything like what he might have conjured up. They seemed almost staid to him. They really used to swap, screw neighbors outside and submitted to bondage and more? That was hard for him to even imagine. They declined something to drink when Irene offered, and she was a little disappointed, because she would have welcomed a brief escape from the situation. "How have you been Alana?" she finally asked.
