Chapter 18 For the balance of the day, Jennifer and I just walked about and looked at some of the sights that Seattle has to offer. After a trip to the Space Needle, Jennifer whispered that she wanted to go back to our rooms. I didn't need to be told what for. Back in our room, Jennifer pulled back the covers on the bed, stripped off her clothes and climbed into the bed. I followed and for the next hour or so we just lay there as lovers, gently touching and arousing one another until finally, Jennifer pushed me onto my back and started to fuck me in what had become her favourite position. Our mating was slow and gentle with both of us climaxing at almost the same time. ***** The next morning, Jennifer was awake, but still in bed. As I looked at her I could see she was deep in thought. All of a sudden she realized I was awake and watching her. "Do you like watching me?" she asked. "It's one of my favourite things to do" I said. "Another thing I like is..." and with that I leaned in and kissed her. "Mmm, I like that too" she replied as she pulled me over hug me. While her attention was focused on kissing me, I slid my hand down and started to play with her pussy. "This is another thing that I like to do" I told her. Jennifer got a big grin on her face and whipped the cover off. "Oh yeah, me too. I feel really horny this morning. Want to take care of that little problem?" I didn't need to be asked twice. True to her words, Jennifer was really horny and before I was even ready had grabbed my cock and was pulling it towards her pussy. "C'mon, slowpoke. Don't make me wait." I decided to get back at her for calling me a `slowpoke'. I started kissing her all over - her breasts but not her nipples, her face, nipping her nose then kissing down towards her pussy. I felt Jennifer grab my head and try to force it down so I'd lick her pussy but I resisted and started to kiss my way back up her body - this time sucking and nipping on her nipples." "Ohh! Ohh!! Oh damn you - fuck me!" she yelled. `Good thing this is a high class hotel with good soundproofing' I thought. I gave in to Jennifer's demands and fucked her hard causing her to come twice before I came. After a shared shower - complete with some playing of course - we had a room service breakfast. "Have you given any more thought about meeting other members of your family?" I asked Jennifer as we ate. "I have. That's what I was doing when you woke up." Jennifer paused and seemed unsure what she wanted to say. After a couple of minutes she continued. "Wally, I've decided that I'll meet them at their location. For now, I don't want anyone to know where I live. I'm not completely comfortable with what happened and even though I think I can trust Martin, we only have his word that the family wants to meet me. Am I being paranoid about this?" "Oh my no. Not in the least, sweetheart. Your parents apparently were treated horribly and it's quite understandable that you want to be cautious. Do you want to talk to Martin again before we leave?" Jennifer agreed and we called Martin and told him of Jennifer's decision. Martin was pleased and understood Jennifer's reluctance and we mutually agreed to keep in contact by mail. ***** We made our way back home with a stop off to visit Jennifer's lawyer in Vancouver to bring him up to date on her status and to see if there was anything that needed to be done. When told of our impending wedding, he only asked that we forward a copy of our marriage certificate when it became available. Usually we flew from Haida Gwaii to the mainland and back but this time, for a change we decided to take the ferry for an overnight trip. We boarded the ferry in Prince Rupert to make our way back to the main island where we'd use our own boat to make the last leg of our journey to our own little island. Since it was already late, we headed down to our cabin on the ferry for the night. As we lay there cuddling before nodding off, Jennifer told me she was going to stay with Elizabeth and Helen for a few days and would get Ben to call me on the radio when she was ready to come home. While nothing had ever been said, it was generally accepted that the two ladies were likely lovers so I jokingly asked Jennifer if she was going to join them. "Wally! Absolutely not! Elizabeth and Helen are just wonderful friends. What they do when they head off to bed is their business. I have my own room - yes they refer to it as `Jennifer's room' - and I don't pry into their affairs." Jennifer told me in a very indignant tone of voice. I had to back pedal a bit and try to get Jennifer calmed down. "Hey," I almost whispered, "I was just teasing you. I hope I know you well enough by now to know that there is only one other human that you truly love - me. Care to see how much I love you?" Jennifer giggled and took up my suggestion by stripping and jumping into the berth. "This berth is a whole lot bigger than my berth on the sailboat. We have lots of room to play." ***** Back on the main island, I left Jennifer at the store and headed back to our island. It was always funny to see the look on Maggie's face when she realized that Jennifer wasn't there with me. They may not be able to speak in human speech, but they sure know when things aren't right and not having Jennifer with me wasn't right. "Jennifer will be here in a few days. She's just staying with Elizabeth" I told Maggie. I know it sounds crazy, but Maggie seemed to understand and stopped her fretting. I helped our `cabin sitter' get away back to the main island then sat down to think over the last few days. They had been very eventful and somewhat stressful for Jennifer but in the end I think things will work out okay. A quick supper, some time with Maggie and Ralph then off to bed. More to follow soon!
