working at a hospital that specializes in treating PTSD. They
immediately got back together and got married a few months later.
I'm really happy for them."
Sam smiles a dreamy smile and says, "That is
so romantic! Your Mom is so lucky to have found someone that loves
her that much. For that love to last through all those years even
though they were separated, wow, I wish ..." She stops
speaking.
Rance asks, "You wish what?"
Embarrassed Sam says, "Oh, nothing. It was
silly."
Even though she didn't say, Stump thinks she
must be wishing for a love like his Mom and Dad's. He has often had
the same wish.
CHAPTER 7
When Stump wakes up early the next morning
inside the narrow cave, the first thing he realizes is that the
ground is hard. His shoulder hurts and his arm is asleep. Then he
realizes a warm body is curled up right next to him, their bodies
fitting together like two spoons in a drawer and only separated by
the material of the sleeping bags. She has her head resting on the
arm that is asleep. His other arm is around her waist and his hand
is cupping her luscious breast. As usual, his member is standing at
full attention, aching with need.
He needs to go and relieve himself but he
doesn't want to move. He wants to savor the feel of her body next
to his, imprinting it on his brain so he can relive it later, when
he is alone in his bed. Nature has other ideas and finally he
unwraps himself from around her and climbs out of the warm sleeping
bag and goes to the front of the cave to relieve himself. The rain
is still coming down in sheets and he is thankful he and Sam found
the narrow cave last night. If they had been forced to spend the
night out in the rain, it would have been cold and miserable.
When he returns to the sleeping bags he sees
Sam staring at him questioningly and she inquires, "Any ideas about
where I might go to relieve myself?"
He glances back over his shoulder and sees
her problem. He thinks for a moment and then says, "Well, I guess
we could go over to the edge and you can hold on to me and hang
your butt out in the rain. Otherwise, I don't know."
Much to Stump's surprise, she shimmies out of
her panties, climbs out of the sleeping bag and says, "Come on, I'm
going to need your support to pull this off."
Bracing her feet against Stump's foot and
holding on to his arm, Sam sticks her behind out in the rain and
relieves herself. Once it is accomplished Stump pulls her back
upright and encloses her in his arms to steady her. They stare into
each other's eyes for long moments before Stump forces his gaze
away. Damn! He wanted to taste her luscious lips so badly that it
is a miracle he was able to pull away.
He walks back to the sleeping bags and digs
around in the backpacks until he finds two more MRE's for their
breakfast. Giving her first choice between the two they sit back
down cross legged on the sleeping bags and begin eating.
About halfway through his meal Stump looks
over at Sam and realizes she never put back on her panties and the
shirt she is wearing is split revealing her most private area to
his view. His heart skips a beat and a quick intake of breath
causes him to choke on his food. He begins coughing and sputtering
and struggling to breathe.
Sam says, "Stump, are you all right? Can I do
something to help?
Stump points at her private area and then
succumbs to another binge of coughing.
Looking down at where Stump is pointing Sam
nearly faints from embarrassment. She turns bright red and
immediately slides under the protection of the sleeping bag quickly
replacing her panties. She says, "I am so embarrassed. I'm
sorry!"
Finally, Stump is able to stop coughing and
to take a full breath. He says, "You're killing me, Samantha."
Confused and a little hurt by his comment,
Sam looks at Stump and asks, "What? How am I killing you?"
Amazed, Stump looks at her and says, "You
really don't know, do you?"
Sam shakes her head and says, "No, I really
don't know."
He looks into Sam's sparkling
