I watched him sleep. It was our last day to actually do things. We would pack up and go home the next day, and that would be a totally different world to navigate. For now, I wanted to make things super fun for Skyler so he could remember this trip forever.
What would he want to do? More hiking? Swimming? Get on the river again? I was up for any of it.
Skyler’s eyes fluttered open. He seemed startled to be awake for a second, and then he smiled. His green eyes caught the sunlight filtering in and sparkled like peridot stones. “Hi.”
“You are so fucking beautiful.”
He laughed. “Yeah, I don’t think so. Are you drunk already?”
“Don’t. Don’t do that.” He frowned, and I hated that. “Skyler. You’re the best thing I’ve ever seen. Inside and out. Please do not think otherwise. Don’t deflect my compliments. I mean them.” And to prove it, I leaned over and kissed him. Not gently or teasing, nope. I kissed him hard and dirty.
He moaned under me, and I wanted him all over again. More than anything, I wanted to make love to him, fill him up. That would have to wait. “Let’s get breakfast.”
“Okay, Daddy.”
“I love that, you know.”
“I figured. I kind of like it too.” Oh, fuck me. His blush was adorable. I covered his face in kisses, pecking his cheeks and forehead and nose, ending at his lips.
We got up and headed to the bathhouse to take care of our morning rituals, then headed over to the food RVs, hand in hand. A few people were frying bacon and handing off the excess grease to the egg station, where they used it to scramble eggs. So not healthy. But it smelled so good, there was no way I wasn’thaving some. A third station was making toast, so we loaded our plates with all three and then sat at an empty table.
Before we finished, Warner and Cody joined us. Cody was a good boy for Warner. Everything he wanted. But not my type. Skyler wasn’t anything like him, past his slim build. But I noticed how Skyler watched him, maybe seeing him in a different light.
Cody stole a piece of bacon from Warner, laughing when Warner scowled. “Thanks, Daddy.”
Then Warner smiled at him. “Anything, for you, Cody-boy.”
I watched Skyler taking in the interaction. His eyes grew wide. I think he liked it. He glanced at me and blushed. Yep, he wanted it but was afraid. At least this was something I could help him with.
“Hey, you guys want to hit the water with us? We’re going upstream a bit this morning,” Warner asked.
“Skyler? What would you like to do?” I reached for his hand, lacing our fingers together.
He let me hold it. “That sounds fun.”
“Okay. Let’s clean up and get out there!” I stood, picking up my plate, and Warner did too.
Cody hooted. “Up the river! Yay!”
We put the paddleboard in and had a fantastic morning. Skyler seemed to enjoy it a lot, whether it was hanging his feet in the water, lying on his stomach and peering into the depths, or jumping in to cool off. I was definitely bringing him here again.
Once we made it back to the campground and put our stuff away, we decided to go into town for lunch. And maybe a drug store. We hunted Danny down to see if we could get a vehicle,but we couldn’t drive the big bus. That was frustrating. No one else had a vehicle we could use. I normally camped with my SUV, but this trip had been different.
“We could call an Uber,” Skyler suggested.
“I guess if we’re going, we’ll have to.” The closest little town was too far to walk, so I pulled up my app, and we walked to meet our driver at the campground entrance.
He seemed nice, and we piled into his SUV and headed off. “Where exactly are you going? The app said into Dunnellon.”
“Well, we want to get lunch. Any suggestions?” I asked.
“Most people go to Swampy’s, but it’s kind of touristy and expensive. Hmm…you might like Blue Gator Tiki Bar. They’re less expensive and just as good, if you ask me. It’s a cool outdoors vibe.”
“Sounds good.”
“Do you mind stopping at a drug store on the way?” Skyler asked.
I smiled. It meant he was still very interested in sex with me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said anything.
