The Sauna Part 159

I looked out the window and realized we were climbing up a steep driveway toward an enormous log home that was perched on top of a mountain. It was a good five hundred yards away still, but I could make it out from the lights inside illuminating the huge windows. My mouth fell open and I was speechless.

Jon chuckled softly as I stared in wonder as we approached the vacation home he had rented for the duration of our stay. This had been my fantasy for years since I had visited Colorado and I could barely grasp the fact that he had made my dreams a reality.

“Pinch me-this can’t possibly be real” I said, more to myself than to him.

He chuckled again as the limo pulled into the parking area and came to a stop. The home was the most beautiful place I had ever seen and went far beyond anything I had ever imagined. It was a two-story log cabin embedded into the hillside, though cabin could hardly capture how enormous the place actually was. It was surrounded by a huge deck and had windows that reached towards the sky, framing the interior of the dwelling that was lit softly by a myriad of lights.

We stepped out of the limo onto the frozen ground and the packed snow crunched beneath our feet. Jon took my hand and led me past the frozen pond alongside the house and up the steps to the main entrance. The snow was falling lightly all around us and there was a hushed silence that blanketed the scene. I squeezed his hand as he turned the key in the lock, holding my breath as he opened the door.

I gasped as he lifted me in the air and carried me into the place that would become paradise for the next several weeks. I never even noticed the limo driver who had come in silently behind us, depositing our bags and leaving without a word. Jon carried me into the living room and set me down in front of the immense stone fireplace where a bottle of champagne and two glasses were waiting.

I stood there frozen as I drank in the surroundings and Jon removed my coat without a word. I was completely captivated by the house and he was thoroughly enjoying my reaction. I touched the stone wall of the fireplace, flanked by logs of knotty pine on all sides and the monstrous moose head that hung on the wall nearest to me. The lights that cast such a warm glow were all made from deer antlers and there was a huge fur rug spread in front of the hearth.

“Should I make us a fire?” Jon inquired, beaming at me as I nodded in awe.

He removed his own coat now and reached for the long lighter on the mantle. The wood had already been stacked and was ready, a starter log buried in the center to catch the flame. He uncorked the champagne and poured us each a glass and came to stand at my side.

“To us” he said reverently, handing a glass to me.

We toasted and then drank, and I turned to focus my attention on the man who had made my dreams come true in every possible way. I looked into his eyes, shining with love and happiness, and I knew that I would never forget this moment as long as I lived. The tears that had begun to form in my eyes were a mixture of love and adoration for the man standing before me and I was overwhelmed by the surge of emotion I felt.

“Jon, I love you more than I could ever have imagined was possible. I can’t believe you did all this for me, for us. I am in awe; you are the most amazing man I have ever known. I don’t know where to begin to thank you for all that you do for me every day. You make me feel more special than I have ever felt in my life. I just love you so much” I said as I threw my arms around his neck, knowing the words were totally inadequate to express the flood of emotion I felt for him.

He pulled me closer, hugging me tightly in his arms for a moment. Then he took a deep breath as he held my face between his hands and looked lovingly at me. His eyes sparkled with warmth and were as clear as the bluest sky on a summer day. His voice was serious now as he spoke from his heart.

“You are everything to me; you’re a part of my soul and without you I could not be. I would do anything for you as you make me whole. I’ve become the person I want to be through your love; you are my inspiration now and the very breath of life inside me. Baby, you’re all I ever needed or wanted. You complete me” he finished.

The tears were streaming down my cheeks as I looked into his eyes and this moment became etched in my soul. No one had ever come close to being what Jon had become and my life before him seemed pale in comparison. I had thought I had been happy, but I knew now what poets and bards had written about for centuries. Jon had awakened things inside me I never believed existed and I wept for the pure joy I had found in loving him.

We both fell to our knees and gave thanks to the God and Goddess for helping us to find each other yet again in this lifetime. It had been no accident and we were filled with a deep sense of gratitude for the incredible gifts that we had been given. There was no better way to show our appreciation than celebrating our love in their presence.

The fire was blazing now, mirroring the passion we felt rising inside us. I unbuttoned Jon’s shirt, my gaze lingering over his powerful muscles rippling with strength as he pulled my sweater over my head. We kicked off our shoes and I smiled at him as he stripped off his jeans and I slid mine over my hips, our eyes fastened on one another. Our lips met in a heated kiss as we succumbed to the sacred need to consecrate our union.

Jon covered me with his body as I lay back against the soft fur carpet beneath me, feeling the hardness in his loins as I spread my legs to receive him. He entered me easily as my hungry flesh enveloped his rigid shaft and I melted into him. I inhaled the musky scent of his cologne, intoxicated by the intensity with which my senses seemed to perceive everything.

His hot breath in my ear drove me wild as he plunged deeper, taking me fiercely as his need grew stronger. I circled his waist with my legs and raised my hips to meet each thrust, panting, as I felt my release approaching. Jon’s teeth sank into my shoulder as he struggled to hold back, and I came instantaneously as his seed spilled inside me like liquid flames.

My hands caught in his hair as he lifted his head and uttered a groan of pure pleasure. My lips curved into a smile as the waves of our climax rocked us together and filled us both with such a feeling of immense satisfaction. The mists of time descended and enveloped us in the ageless spiral of energy that our love created.

“Baby …” I cooed as I looked at him through heavy lidded eyes.

“I know …” was all he could say as he kissed me tenderly on my lips.

We collapsed in each other’s arms, our breathing less heavy as we became aware of our surroundings once more. The intensity of our love-making had drained us and I was content to lie in his arms for eternity but Jon raised himself up on his elbow and looked at me, softly stroking my skin as it glowed in the firelight.

“You are so beautiful …” he said reverently as he trailed his finger between my breasts, glistening now with sweat.

He bent his head and lightly took my nipple between his teeth and I shuddered, still raw from the force of his loving. I stretched out my hand and brushed away the dampened lock of hair that had fallen across his face. He was every bit the vision of the God to me too. I sat up and reached for our champagne glasses and raised a toast to him.

“You are my God” I said with conviction.

“And you will always be my Goddess” he swore, echoing my thoughts as we drained our glasses.

Jon pulled a blanket from the nearby sofa and wrapped it around us to keep warm. Neither of us had the energy to climb the stairs to the bedroom and falling asleep by the fire didn’t seem out of the question. He threw another log in the brazier and drew the blanket around us as we huddled together, feeling a slight chill.

“I guess the tour of the house can wait until tomorrow?” he grinned impishly.

“I’m guessing there is a hot tub hidden somewhere in this castle” I teased, feeling like a queen.

“In the master bedroom” he replied with a smirk.

“You really did think of everything, didn’t you?” I observed, shaking my head.

“Here’s the best part, babe. If you like this place, we can keep it. We have an option to buy it” he said proudly as he refilled our glasses.

“Oh my God and Goddess, are you kidding? Jon, do you mean it? Seriously? This could be ours?” I gasped, my eyes flying open.

“Yeah, baby, just say the word and I’ll call the realtor” he smiled.

“You mean we could actually live here? Oh my Gods, Jon, this is too much. I really need you to pinch me now” I said breathlessly.

“You have no idea how hard it’s been for me to keep this a secret all this time. The only one who knew was Richie. Remember when we were in California and you raved about Richie’s house? He knew about this place then and I’ve been waiting that long to bring you here. He actually helped me find it on the web and he was there when I made the decision” he explained.

I couldn’t believe it. I was absolutely stunned. I couldn’t imagine keeping a secret like that from him for this long. I had no clue at all that he had even considered moving from New Jersey and I was completely undone. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him.

“I guess I’ll call the realtor tomorrow then?” he laughed.

“Wait until I see that Richie! And they say women keep secrets!” I laughed too.

We’d finished the champagne and we were both beginning to get sleepy. Jon yawned and lay back down, pulling me with him. I snuggled against him as we wrapped ourselves with the blanket and cuddled contentedly.

“We should get some sleep, wife. There are a lot of rooms in this place we still need to christen” he smiled lazily and I chuckled, thinking that was a task I was certainly looking forward to.
