They walked along the deserted shoreline together holding hands. His plane was leaving in a few hours and they knew goodby would be difficult.They wanted to remember the weekend they had shared knowing it would not happen again soon, ...........if ever. They talked about how unfair life seemed , about how they wished they had met at a different time in their lives, a time before kids and spouses and houses and all the things they felt incumbered by now.They talked about what they would do given different circumstances, different oportunities.
But that wasn't reality, this was and they wanted to make the most of the time they had left. They came to the beach house they had shared for the weekend and went inside. It had been cold walking the shoreline and so he lit a fire in the fireplace and they sat on the couch together. They finished off the wine they had opened the nite before and between the wine and the fire ,the warmth enveloped them. They stretched out on the couch and fell asleep for a short time.
She woke to his touch as he traced the edge of her jawline with his fingers.He traced her face slowly as though he might never see it like this again. He touched her lips with his fingers and then very softly kissed her. She felt herself begin to melt to him and ran her hands over his chest. She relished his body, the taughtness of his muscles and the leaness of his build. She would always remember how he felt so firm and lean as he lay underneath her.She rubbed her face against his and felt the brush of his day old beard on her cheek.
He touched the tip of her tongue with his, then went deeper, slowly in a soul wrenching kiss that left them both limp. She sat up and removed her sweater, revealing her breasts to him. Her skin was throbbing , but it went deeper, to the core of her being. His mouth was light on her breast making her shudder in response. Time was lost as he gave himself the pleasure of showing her each new delight.Their bodies moved rhythmically as their pleasure grew and then ebbed . He knew time was running out. He seduced her ,he took her slowly savoring each moment each movement until there could be no more.Reluctantly she slippped out of his arms and pulled her sweater back on.
They lay together for a long time after their lovemaking not talking just starring into the fire. It was time. Time to go back to their real lives, time to give up their cyberspace relationship and this one glorious weekened they had had.His bags were packed and sitting near the door. He walked over and carried the bags to the car. He walked up onto the porch. They held each other for a long time, knowing that their relationsip was over. There would be no more chats, no more mail messages, no more meetings. They had both agreed to this the nite before.
His eyes glistened with tears close to falling.He couldn't look into her eyes or he knew he would lose it. He kissed her softly,and walked down the steps, got into his car and drove towards the airport. She stood watching until the car disappeared. Tears were falling as she walked toward her car. It was over, for sure ..........but the memory of him would remain in her mind and in her heart for eternity, this she knew better than she knew herself.
