Mason
In the coupleof weeks leading up to us going to see my parents, life turned crazy busy. Work went into overdrive for both Ems and me. She had two weddings and an art exhibition to put on, as well as the usual weekly clubs and associations that used the Ealynn Marina Hotel. Since the conference, my diary had been maxed out. Whether it was client and candidate meetings or internal conference calls with some of the senior team in London, my free time was practically non-existent.
When my alarm went off at three thirty on the Friday morning, we were due to fly to Mallorca, I almost breathed a sigh of relief.
I rolled over onto my side, expecting to see Ems next to me. We’d been taking it in turns to stay in each other’s rooms and she had definitely been there when I went to sleep last night. The taxi was due in half an hour and I didn’t want to risk being late, so I threw back the duvet and got out of bed, naked.
The bathroom door was shut and I could hear the sound of the shower running. Ems’s bedroom door was open so I guessed it was her in there. A smirk crept across my lips. There might only be thirty minutes, but I could think of one way to start off our long weekend. I could see Ems’s figure silhouetted in the shower and opened the door, creeping in behind her, hands resting on her hips.
“Shit! Mason! What the—”
I turned her to face me and cut off her protestations with a deep kiss, one hand snaking around her waist to pull her towards me. She tried to push me away, making noises about how the taxi would be here soon and we shouldn’t be doing this.
“Showering together will save us time,” I murmured, trailing a line of kisses down her neck. “Not to mention save the planet.”
The feel of her naked, wet body, slippery against mine made me rock hard. And when Ems wrapped her hand around my shaft, I knew it would be a quickie. Moving my mouth back to hers, I slid a hand between her legs and slipped two fingers inside her. She fell back against the shower wall, her breath escaping from her lips in tiny gasps, not stopping her hand moving up and down my cock.
“Fuck, Ems,” I groaned. The familiar pulse started all too soon for me. I wanted to enjoy this. A leisurely session of pleasuring each other was one of my favourite things, but our schedule was against us. I bit down on her bottom lip hard, my thumb mashing her clit, feeling Ems writhing her hips. She was close too. Breathing deeply, I came all over her hand, the powerful shower jets washing away any cum almost straight away. Grasping her chin between the thumb and forefinger of my free hand, I made Ems look at me as I crooked my fingers inside her, hitting her most sensitive spot. “That’s it, baby, come for me. Right now.”
Her eyes almost rolled back into her head, her mouth forming a perfect ‘O’ shape as she came undone. Fuck, I loved seeing her like this. How much I’d missed it.
Ems sagged back against the wall, and I withdrew my fingers, trailing them up her stomach and over her breasts to her lips. “That’s one way to start a holiday,” I breathed, tracing a line around her mouth, before crashing mine against hers again.
Somehow, we managed to make it outside in time for the taxi. Both of us had packed the night before and we planned on getting a bite to eat at the airport. The journey took us a little less than an hour, traffic at that time in the morning fairly forgiving. Once we’d checked our bags and swiped our boarding passes, we headed through security. Exeter Airport wasn’t exactly blessed with many places to eat, but I’d had the foresight to book us into the Executive Lounge so we at least had some peace and quiet. At this hour, we were the only ones in there and helped ourselves to the breakfast buffet, consisting of fruit and pastries. After the shower exertion, I would have preferred a bacon sandwich, but I’d take whatever was free.
“I don’t remember the last time I saw your parents,” said Ems. She took a bite from her croissant, a blob of jam dribbling down her chin. “Ugh, these are so messy.”
“Believe me, they haven’t changed much. Dad might have put on a little bit of a belly from all the good food and drink though.” I grinned. Tasting some of the delicious fresh fish was one of the things I was looking forward to, not to mention the opportunity of tasting Ems again too.
“You have told them about us, haven’t you?” Her eyes held a look of concern. “I mean, I’m not just going to arrive and have them freeze me out?”
I have to admit, I hadn’t told my parents much about how we’d split up the last time. If I remembered rightly, I’d put some vague ‘it was a mutual decision’ spin on it. More than likely they wouldn’t recall what I’d said anyway. Too much time had passed since then.
Once we’d finished our snacks, Ems declared she needed something to read on the plane. The flight was a little over two hours and I had already planned to have a nap. But to appease her, we went to the small bookshop. It took her ages to pick about half a dozen gossip magazines, which would no doubt be shared with my mum. The irony was, as soon as the plane took off, she snored quietly on my shoulder.
“Mason! Over here!”My dad’s voice boomed through the airport the moment we stepped out of the arrivals gate.
Instantly the moment the warm air enveloped me, I relaxed into holiday mode. Already feeling overdressed in a pair of dark jeans and a rugby shirt, I hoped Dad had aircon in the car. I reached for Ems’s hand and pulled her towards my dad.
He pulled me in for a hug, then held me at arm’s length. “You’re looking really well, son.” His smile took up almost the whole of his face.
“Where’s Mum?” I asked.
Dad rolled his eyes. “You know what she’s like. Wanted to make sure everything was tidy for Ems, so she stayed at the villa to finish cleaning.” He turned his attention to Ems. “Lovely to see you again, dear.” He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
“Lovely to see you too, Clive.” Ems shifted from foot to foot. “I really need to visit the bathroom before we get in the car.” She glanced around looking for the sign she needed. “Be back in a minute.”
I watched her walk away, her hips swinging in the flowered maxi dress she’d worn for travelling. Had we been interested in joining the mile high club, it would have been so easy for me to bunch that skirt up around her hips to give me access to what I wanted. Perhaps I could talk her into it on the way home. But I didn’t want to think about going home yet. We had almost four whole days to enjoy and I planned on making the most of it.
“I have to say, Ems is looking as lovely as I remember. Remind me why the two of you split up again?” Dad’s gaze was also fixed on her retreating figure. I hoped to God he wasn’t having the same thoughts I was.
“New York.” I shrugged. “But it’s a distant memory now. We’re in a good place.”
He clapped a hand on my shoulder. “Glad to hear it.”
On the forty-five-minute journey to Puerto Pollensa, I watched the scenery, remembering certain landmarks and quirky buildings. Even though I hadn’t been on the island in a couple of years, it was almost as if I’d been there yesterday. The place just felt familiar.
