Neptune's Ring
asked
curiously.
    “I really haven’t thought much about it, to
be honest,” Vanessa said.
    “What about you, when is the last time you
had a real vacation?” Vanessa asked.
    “Years ago when Mom was still alive, we went
camping in the mountains of North Carolina for two weeks,” Levi
said with a sigh.
    “I bet it was a great time,” Vanessa
said.
    “It was the best time of my youth,” Levi
said.
    “So where would you like to go?” Vanessa
asked.
    Levi thought for a moment. “I would like to
spend a few weeks snowed in inside a cabin in the heart of the
Rockies with you.”
    “With a bear skin rug in front of the
fireplace and a feather bed,” Vanessa asked.
    “Ah, yes, I can feel the fire on my toes
already,” Levi said.
    “Well let’s make it happen then,” Vanessa
said.
    “Are you serious, Vanessa?”
    “Completely, I can think of nowhere else I
would like to spend a winter vacation.”
    Levi beamed up at Vanessa. “That would be so
much fun.”
    “Why don’t you spend some time on Liz’s
computer when we get back to the resort and see what you can find
for us,” Vanessa said.
    “I will do just that, my dear Captain,” Levi
said.
    “What time do you need to be up in the
morning?”
    “Boarding begins at eight, so Killian and I
will walk the ship one last time starting at six,” Vanessa
said.
    “We must get you off to bed then, My Love,
it’s almost midnight,” Levi said.
    “I know, but I am so much enjoying the time
with you,” Vanessa said.
    “We will have much more time together before
we reach the resort,” Levi said, as she stood and picked up their
glasses.
    Vanessa returned the chairs to their original
positions and picked up the empty bottle. She reached for Levi’s
hand and they returned to the cabin. Levi took the bottle and
glasses and placed them on the empty food tray.
    “I will take them to the kitchen in the
morning,” Vanessa said. “For now, come snuggle me,” she said as she
undressed and pulled back the covers on the bed.
    Levi stripped out of her clothes and crawled
in beside Vanessa’s warm body. “Have I told you lately how much I
love being here with you?” she asked.
    “Earlier today, but I love to hear it,”
Vanessa said.
    “I love you and being here with you,” Levi
said.
    “I love you too and I am extremely happy to
have you here with me,” Vanessa said as she kissed Levi’s lips.
    Liz and Nat tended bar together until well
after the evening rush.
    “Are you holding up ok baby?” Liz asked.
    “Yes, I am doing fine, Sweetheart, why do you
ask?”
    “Well, I did keep you up late last night,”
Liz said with a grin. “I was going to offer to take over for a few
hours and let you catch a nap.”
    “That’s not a bad idea,” Nat said with a
grin. “I could sleep until ten or so and then come back so you can
get some sleep.”
    “So why don’t you then.”
    “I think I will, my love, are you sure you
don’t mind?” Nat asked.
    “Not at all sweetie, you and Levi have
spoiled me and I am getting a little rusty.”
    “I will see you around ten then, My Love,”
Nat said, and after a quick kiss left the club.
    NeNe saw Nat leave and picked up the
telephone to call Liz at the bar. “Is everything ok?” she
asked.
    Liz chuckled at NeNe. “Yes, everything is
fine, NeNe, I just sent Nat off for a nap.”
    NeNe giggled. “Ok then, let me know when you
are ready to place a dinner order then.”
    “Will do,” Liz said as she hung up the
telephone.
    Del woke Simone by toying with her nipples,
watching them grow hard as Simone’s body awoke.
    Simone licked her lips. “Mm that feels good,”
she said.
    “It is almost seven,” Del said. “Are you
ready to shower and eat some dinner before we go to the club?” she
asked.
    “Do we really need to go to the club
tonight?” Simone asked.
    “You don’t want to go?” Del asked.
    “I would rather call for room service and
have you for dessert,” Simone purred, as Del’s hand moved
