Her arms came up, breasts standing proudly from her chest, feet together and she started falling forward. She flexed her knees and pushed off. She sailed into the air, tucked in then straightened out and went head first into the lagoon. Any splash would have been washed out by the waterfall but to his eye, it was perfect.
She popped up several feet away and swam toward him on the beach. As she got to more shallow water, she stood and slicked her hair back from her face. She was a goddess to him. Her hips swayed in seductively natural motions. She was his siren of the lagoon. She walked up to him, cupped his face in her hands and kissed him. He felt breathless.
I hope that met with your approval? Alexandra said. Ben just stared and nodded, mouth drooping open. She closed it with her index finger.
You are magnificent Alexandra. He said. “Where have you learned to dive like that?”
I have trained in many sports. I am not entirely a geek. She said. “I take it you like swimming?”
Yes I did. I’m not sure if I should so soon. I still need the cane at times. He said. She looked at him critically.
You seemed to handle the sand well without it. She said then took his arm. “Come. I will help you.” And led him up the path.
When they got to the top, she guided him to the edge. There he could see a beautiful sight. The sun was nearing Noon and the lagoon looked very far down. He felt her arm around his back, holding him to her.
Now you have to keep balance and drop straight or you will hurt yourself badly if you land any other way. She began. He nodded knowing how much it could hurt. He’d done a pancake from only ten feet and it hurt like hell afterwards. She let go as he set his stance. She watched the muscles in his back flex as his arms came up. She saw the muscles in his legs tense and become starkly defined as he stood on his toes and bent at the knees readying for the jump.
Ben dropped lower in his stance and pushed off hard sending him out into space. He rotated in a backwards flip not once but twice then straightened just before plunging into the lagoon. Alexandra watched her new husband’s physique and felt tingly all over. His muscles worked, strained, tensed and he was gone. She watched as his body bulged in places as he worked his flip backwards and finally into the lagoon.
When he came up, she let her breath go not realizing she was holding it. She marveled at his masculinity and wanted him badly right then. She went after him with her own backwards flip and plopped in the lagoon. He waited for her and was surprised when he felt her hands on his cock and balls under water. She came up for air, wrapped her arms around him and spread her legs, wrapping them around his waist.
I want you now Benjamin. You look so perfect to me. She said breathless and they kissed before he could make any comments. As they did, their passion rose as did his cock. Soon it was pressing against her. She reached down and guided into her. She held on, clasping her fingers together behind his neck and leaned back.
Pumping slowly at first, he backed up until he was in thigh-deep water. Her juices were flowing and the effort was less difficult now to penetrate her. In a few thrusts he was hilt-deep inside her as he held her ass up, her legs draped over his forearms. He supported her as she took all of him in rapid pounding movements. His balls slapped against her making the act more erotic for them. He fucked into her harder and faster then slower and more gentle. He repeated the sequence until both were ready to find that place of pure bliss. It was bliss in paradise and the significance wasn’t lost on either of them.
Ben leaned over and sucked on one of her turgid peaks, drawing hard on it with gentle bites. His teeth closed around the hard nub and felt how large it had become in the last few months since he began sucking on them on their wedding night.
I love you Ben. Alexandra said again. Ben smiled and hugged her close to him. They lay on the bed naked, she snuggled into him using his shoulder as a pillow with her right leg over his. With his arm around her, he fondled her right breast, tweaking her large nipple now and then keeping them erect. She cooed at the sensation as she rubbed her mound against his thigh.
I do not remember a time when I was so happy and at peace. Alexandra said with a dreamy look in her eyes. Ben looked out over the lagoon. He’d remember saying something very similar when he was with Jean. Now that he had Alexandra, he had what he really wanted.
Epilogue
40 Years Later
Ben was sitting in his rocking chair on the front porch of the new cottage. It faced the field in the shadow of a few trees at one end. He took in the view and pondered his surroundings marveling at the splendid peacefulness of it all. As he looked out toward his left, he spotted the headstone of his beloved Alexandra’s grave site and smiled. It’s brilliant white marble shown in stark contrast with its surroundings up on the hill just above the creek.
Ben thought of the twenty odd years of blissful marriage to Alexandra before cervical cancer took her. He also thought of the five children they had and raised together. Anna and Emma were the first. Twin daughters and oh so good they were. They both became financial advisors and ran the CPA office Jean built. Ben junior was next a year later and followed in his father’s footsteps by taking over the construction and trucking company.
Ivan came a year after that getting a degree in Computer Sciences and finally began his career as an electronics design engineer for Siemens. Their fifth and last child was born a little more than a year later. Catherine was the youngest and was already very successful architectural design engineer and running her mother’s design company. All were married and all but Catherine had children. Catherine would be due with her first in a little under four months.
He thought of his Aunt Jean and her husband, Daniel. They were both gone now but having lived full lives despite the sudden onset of Daniel’s Leukemia only eight years after they married. By the time it was detected, it had grown to terminal levels. Jean lived on peacefully but never married again. She passed away a few years ago but did get to see him have children. She spoiled them rotten but they still came out okay. She loved his children and more so only living a little over a mile away. She would come over any time and help Alexandra with things. Ben smiled at that thought too.
Ben remembered the old cottage burning down the day he went into the hospital for his knee injury. The investigation found that the oven was accidentally left on and the casserole inside which started the fire. The damp ground and field grass and such didn’t let the fire spread much sparing the forest around it fortunately. A new cottage was built. It was bigger, better and designed by both Jean and Alexandra as a dry-run in how to work together in their new partnership. Since its completion, the July fourth family get together tradition returned.
Ben thought of Alexandra again and her beautiful smile and wonderful little wiggle her hips had when she walked. It was a treasure to behold. He smiled at that thought as he studied the field again. Her dark red hair, beautiful green eyes, creamy skin and wonderful sense of humor all blended into the perfect woman for him. Her sense of architectural “rightness” still amazed him after building a second house on the hill after the first burned down after a lightning strike started the blaze while they were out of town.
They spent a year travelling the globe together after they married. The year long honeymoon ended with her announcement that she was pregnant while they were in Belize. They were only three weeks away from returning home and so stayed in Belize for the remainder of their trip rather than head for St. Thomas. From then on his was a happy family.
As Ben’s eyes shifted again to Alexandra’s headstone, it seemed to be a bit brighter this time than the last. He could see a figure standing next to it waving to him. He smiled and waved back. He slipped forward and walked toward the figure. In no time, he was reaching out to take Alexandra’s hand. They looked into each other’s eyes as they went into the light.
Catherine came through the front door out onto the front porch. “Daddy? It’s time to say good night to the children.” She touched his shoulder but he didn’t respond. She knelt down in front of him, took his hands and held them. She looked at his face and saw it was peaceful. He even had a slight smile. She turned her head and looked in the direction he was looking and saw the white marble headstone across the creek and she knew.
Anna. Emma. Catherine called calmly. Emma was the first to come.
What is it Catherine? Emma asked.
Get the others please. Catherine asked. Emma called for Ben junior and Ivan to come out to the front porch. They came and stood around their father looking at Catherine kneeling in front of him after seeing the expression on Ben’s face.
What’s going on Cathy? Anna asked as she came out on the porch. Everyone saw Catherine’s tears then looked to their father again.
Daddy’s gone home. Catherine said.
The End
Randy says
I DID LIKE SOME OF THE STORY BUT DIDN’T EXPECT IT TO BE AS A NOVEL, SO I’M DISAPPOINTED IN THAT. COULD HAVE SPARED US WITH ALL THE DEATHS! I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THE TWIST AND WAS SADDENED BY ADDING ALEXANDRA, BUT THATS ME. THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP. WHAT WAS IN THE PACKAGE THAT WAS LEFT AT THE COTTAGE THAT BURNED DOWN. IT WAS IMPORTANT TO JEAN AND THE AUTHOR MADE IT SEEN TO BE SO IMPORTANT TO JEAN TOWARD BEN?
Alan says
Lovely story.
I loved the ending. Absolutely beautiful.
Dingo says
What a load of croc, it started out with Ben and Aunt Jean being lovers but ended up being a story of two different couples married living separate lives. It should’ve stayed as the incest story it started out as. Disappointed.
