Long Distance Love Ch. 11

Dawn spent the remaining days in absolute panic, vacillating between the sins imagined and sins to be committed. She and Bella took one afternoon so she could find the perfect outfits to wear for Graham and to discuss their strategy. She wanted to feel sexy and beautiful but would settle for looking her best. As they shuffled through the racks of clothes Dawn could feel Bella's eyes on her face and she responded to the unasked questions

"Yes, Bella, I've told him that you are coming. We're meeting in the Palm dining room at 11:30 for lunch and then you are free to wander and molest whomever you choose." She laughed because although Bella was a big talker she didn't necessarily walk the walk. But Dawn knew B would have a day full of shopping, champagne, spa treatments and then dancing; she had been fortunate that Bella was willing to help her live out a dream and she grabbed her hand across the racks and said

"Thanks again, B"

"Quit thanking me... you're paying for the champagne!" they laughed as they carried their haul over to the dressing rooms chatting all the while about shoes and accessories needed. She was sure that once he saw her he wouldn't want to do anything but talk so she wanted to look her best and feel like herself... like her old self while ignoring the shock and pity in his eyes and his feeble attempts at an excuse to leave. She would be happy with just talking to him but still knew the rejection would sting.

For their arrival on Friday morning she chose a simple sundress with the thin straps and the deep v neck bodice made of soft denim with a long flowing skirt that fell from just below her breast down to her ankles; the print was wild and featured classic Japanese dragons, koi fish and peonies and conveniently had a matching scarf and a pair of simple flat sandels. It made her feel young and free and the empire waistline accented her full breasts and hips.

Dawn and Bella arrived at the resort and they were like kids as they checked in and raced for their rooms all the while laughing and giggling. They had just an hour before Graham was to arrive, Dawn was filled with anticipation and the waiting was excruciating but his seminar would be ending and soon they would be standing face to face. There was a basket of fresh fruits and snacks plus a full bar in the suite along with flowers and champagne all courtesy of Bella Dawn squeezed her tight and whispered

"Bella, please tell me I'm doing the right thing."

"Dawn, we're talking about one night here. It's not like you're going home and packing up your life and moving to California. Worry about the guilt next week, ok?" Her voice tightened "You deserve this experience and I know if there is a god up there surely he will see the price you've already paid and pardon you completely. I know I shouldn't say that, I should be encouraging you to stay faithful to Dominic but I can't. Girl, I love you and have watched you suffer so much... I would carry the guilt for you if I could." A single tear slid down Bella's cheek but Dawn knew what that cost... because Bella DID NOT cry.

They freshened up and took the elevator up to the Palm Dining Room; as the doors opened and they stepped through Dawn felt a surge of heat and a tingle from the far end of the room and when she looked in that direction she saw him standing there. He was still in his suit and his face positively beamed with the biggest smile as he walked towards her. There was no one else in that room, nothing else existed but the two of them making their way to each other, the biblical parting of the red seas. As they met they fell into a strong embrace like the long lost friends they were; each breathing in the scent of the other and reveling in the bolts of electricity surging through their bodies. He pulled back, cupped her face and said softly

"Dawn, you look beautiful." She lowered her eyes and placed her hands on top of his and returned

"So do you." Their eyes locked and the energy between them was almost corporeal; he didn't appear to be shocked and she saw no pity reflected... yet . They struggled to break the connection as Bella cleared her throat a time or two. Dawn giggled and introduced them

"Graham this is my best friend, Bella. Bella this is my.... Graham" as she stammered and blushed

"Pleasure to finally meet you, Bella, Dawn has told me so much about you."

"Pleased to meet you as well, unfortunately, Dawn hasn't told me nearly enough about you." which she finished with her tinkling laugh as they sat in the booth.

They all kept the conversation light as they ate lunch. Dawn couldn't stop the fluttering in her stomach; nor the stirring between her thighs and her eyes only left his face to explore the other areas of him. He'd removed his jacket and she could see the wide shoulders beneath the tailored shirt; his hands were big and strong; and his belly taut. His eyes were exactly as she'd remembered them from the pictures, his smile even more engaging and his face more rugged and handsome although a bit older. Still he was what her mind and body had imagined and it sent shivers down her spine as she met his eyes again. There was no mistaking the look, her green eyes were at half mast and dark, her bottom lip caught between her teeth sending his senses soaring through the roof. He knew from their time together that at the moment she had her thighs clenched together around her throbbing core and he brought his hand up to rest just above her knee under the table and felt the tense quadriceps and knew he was right. She blushed as Bella continued rambling on about who knows what while her adorable dragon panties were getting wet.

After they had finished lunch Bella began to regale Graham with yet another tale to Dawns embarrassment just like a mother bringing out naked baby pictures and showing them to your first date; so she kicked Bella's shin under the table.

"Hey!"

"Oh Yes look at the time... I know Bella... such a shame you have to run but you don't want to be late for your massage!" Dawn laughed as she rose to see Bella off and Graham came to his feet, extended his hand which Bella pushed away and pulled him into a hug. "You hurt her I'll kill you." Then pulled back and with her sweetest June Cleaver smile patted his cheeks twice, kissed Dawn and then made her exit from the dining room in such a grand way that only Bella could pull off.

They had moved to the lounge and they sat there for a while just talking over cognac and holding hands. A piano man came in and started tinkling the ivories while he told her of his marriage and divorce, his successes and failures and then became quiet as his thumb caressed the top of her hand. She knew he was waiting for her to fill her blanks and so stumbled

"What have I been doing? I just started singing again at this little piano bar and I love it a lot. But I really haven't been singing for the past year." Her voice trailed off and she tugged subconsciously on the scarf as she hummed along to a John Coltrane song. He loved the way she nibbled on her bottom lip and he leaned in for a sweet kiss catching Dawn off guard. But just that brief meeting of lips sent a course of tremors through her body and she caught her breath.

"Why hadn't you been singing, love, it was always your passion?"

"Things kind of got in the way for a while." He could sense that she was nervous now and he wanted to reassure her by bringing his fingers forward to touch her face starting with her lips and then her nose, the rise of her brow and the blush of her cheeks. Once again they existed in their own bubble as everything was drown out by the music until she felt his hand on her neck and she tightened and he misread her reaction

"Dawn, are you ok? We don't have to do anything you don't." his brow furrowed

"No, Graham, I'm fine... really. It's just... perhaps we can go somewhere a little quieter for a bit?" They made their way outside and meandered through the pool and trail areas. He was a perfect gentleman helping her with her seat, opening doors, and elevators... holding her hand or letting his rest on the sway of her back until they stood alone beneath the sun surrounded by the sound of the tumbling creek and the foliage. He turned to face her and their heated gaze met as he stepped into her, his hands on her arms their bodies so close. She leaned into him and they fit together exactly as she had dreamed like to peas in a pod, like a perfect jigsaw puzzle piece. Their arms pulled them closer together and their kiss deepened; heads dipping and turning so their tongues could taste and savor the flavor of the other. He broke the kiss slowly taking several moments to pull back and apart completely; he pressed his lip to her right ear and then dipped lower to the spot just below her lobe he knew would make her squirm but she pressed her hands against him... it was too close and she wasn't ready. She captured his mouth again with hers; her kiss was strong yet timorous and she sighed deeply into him. His tongue joined hers twirling around and invading each corner of her hot mouth and he felt her begin to quiver; one hand leaving her waist to gently cup her buttocks and another intertwined in her lush red curls; pressing the length of his hardness against her belly. They panted and devoured each other until he heard the telltale coo that signals her imminent release and he continued to kiss her but opened his eyes so he could finally see her as he heard her cum. She broke the kiss and let her head fall back and her eyes close; she leaned fully against him their bodies sealed as one and he felt the tremor shoot through her and watched her beautiful face contort with pleasure in the beautiful sun, her breaths came in gasps and tones he'd heard a hundred times, but to see the pure joy on her face that accompanied her sounds sent a drop of glistening cum down his thigh.
