THE VACATION
by S. L. Snyder

Timeline: May 1873


The family sat around the table having breakfast and watching Katie making a mess of feeding herself. They enjoyed this time in the morning when they were all together, especially since Colleen was home from college, having just graduated. And now that Sully had been pardoned and free to come and go, they really felt like a family again.

Michaela glanced up from her plate and looked down the table at Sully. He was gazing at her with that look in his blue eyes that made her weak. Sully was smiling at Michaela with a mischievous smile. She knew her husband well enough by now to know he was up to something. She heard a snicker from her left and looked over at Brian. He was glancing between Sully and her and having a hard time not saying anything.

"Well, kids, I guess it's time to tell your ma," said Sully.

"Tell me what?!" asked Michaela, glancing around and seeing smiles on the faces of Colleen, Brian and Matthew. They obviously knew something she didn't.

"Can I tell her, pa?" asked Brian. Sully nodded his head yes. "Ma, you and pa are going on a vacation! Just the two of you!"

"Excuse me?" Michaela said, looking at Sully.

"I worked it all out with the kids. Colleen packed your suitcase this morning. Matthew and Brian will take care of the homestead and help Colleen with Katie. Andrew will take care of the clinic. Ain't nothin' keeping ya from going away for a few days. We go by train this morning to Denver for a few days. I was even able to get the same room we had on our honeymoon!" said Sully.

"But, Sully, I..."

"No excuses, Michaela. There's nothin' to keep ya here."

"Yeh, ma," said Colleen, "you and Sully need this time. We can take care of everything just fine. You been working so hard and worrying about all of us and the things that have been happening, so now that everything is better, you and pa deserve to go away." Both boys nodded their heads in agreement.

"It's only a few days, Dr. Mike. Daniel will be in town, along with Miss Dorothy and Cloud Dancing. Andrew can take care of your patients, with Colleen helping out when needed. Brian and I can handle the homestead. And Katie's fun to take care of. We promise if anything happens that you should know about, we will telegraph you," said Matthew.

"You have all thought everything out, haven't you?" asked Michaela, looking around the table at her family.

Sully smiled and nodded his head and the children all said yes at once.

Michaela looked at Sully, "I guess I don't have a choice, do I my husband?"

"No, my wife, you don't! So let's get ready and head to town."


At 11 am, Michaela and Sully were ready to board the train for Denver. Besides the children, Daniel, Andrew, Dorothy and Cloud Dancing were at the station to see them off. Michaela was hugging and kissing the children goodbye. Sully hugged and kissed Katie and Colleen, and shook hands with Matthew and Brian.

"If you need us, have Horace wired us," Sully said.

"We will, but we won't have to," replied Matthew, smiling.

"All aboard," said the conductor.

Michaela and Sully boarded the train and sat down where they could look out and wave goodbye to their family and friends as the train pulled out.


The train pulled into Denver just before suppertime. Michaela and Sully got to their hotel and had dinner after checking in.

"I ain't got nothin' planned for this evening. Is there anything you wanna do?" asked Sully.

"Does that mean you have things planned the rest of the time?" Michaela asked. Sully just smiled. Michaela knew he wasn't going to tell her. "Okay-okay...I know, trust you!"

"That's right, my love."

"Can we just go for a short walk? And then go back to our room and sit by the fire?"

"Sounds good to me!"


They walked along the stores on Denver's main street, looking in the windows and stopping when they saw something interesting. They saw things they'd like to take back to the family and friends. After about an hour, they returned to the hotel and went to their room.

The staff had already lit a fire in the fireplace. Michaela went to the luggage and started unpacking, while Sully took his jacket and shirt off, then sat down to watch her. After she finished, she turned to Sully with a strange look on her face. "Sully, Colleen forgot to pack my nightgown."

"Yeh, I know. I told her not to."

"Sully!"

He smiled, stood up and handed her a package which had been laying under his jacket. Michaela took it and opened it. Inside was a beautiful nightgown; it was turquoise, with satin and lace. It was open down the front with little satin ribbons to hold it together. Michaela looked up at Sully with moist eyes, "Oh, Sully, it's beautiful."

"I know ya ain't comfortable sittin' around without anything on and I figured this was as close as I could get to makin' us both happy!"

Michaela blushed as she smiled at her husband. "You're so bad, Byron Sully!"

"Yeh, I know," he said, laughing. "I think ya should try it on. Here, let me undo your hair and dress."

Sully turned Michaela around and took the pins out of her soft brown hair and combed it out using his hands. Then he started undoing the buttons of her dress. He'd undo a few buttons, then lean over and kiss her back. Finally he got her dress unbuttoned to her waist. He moved his hands up to her shoulders and pulled the top of her dress slowly down in front, pausing to caress her breasts as he went. Michaela couldn't have stopped him if she had wanted to as her arms were trapped in the sleeves of her dress. Instead she leaned back against his chest, feeling the warmth of his bare chest against her back. When his hands had her dress at her waist, he helped her remove her arms from the sleeves. He then bent over and kissed her neck and shoulders, moving his hands back up to cup her breasts. Michaela shuttered with pleasure at the feel of his hands. Then he turned her around and crushed her to his chest as his mouth found hers. Their kiss was deep and passionate and all consuming.

Sully pulled back a little bit, "I hadn't plan for this to start so soon. I wanted to see you in the nightgown and sit by the fire holding you in my arms."

Michaela took a deep breath and kissed his chest. "That sounds nice. We haven't gone so far not to stop yet. Let me finish taking my dress off and I'll put the nightgown on." She moved away and turned her back to him. He watched as she took the dress the rest of the way off. He liked her this way, seeing her gleaming body in the firelight, without any barriers. Then she picked up the nightgown and he watched it settle over her back.

Michaela turned around after tying the ribbons on the front and stood still for Sully to look at her. She saw the look in his eyes and knew the nightgown was a success. As he gazed up and down her body, she started to blush. She walked over to him and put her hands on the buttons of his buckskins. "Can I unbutton these for you?" she asked in a whisper, blushing even more.

"Yes," Sully replied. As Michaela started unbuttoning, he wondered at the thought that after all this time, her shyness was still present, but she also enjoyed these times with him. When she finished with the buttons, she pushed his breeches down and Sully stepped out of them. He turned her around with her back to him, slipped his arms under her arms and around her, just under her breasts. Again, as before, she leaned back against his chest. She could barely feel the nightgown between them. He pushed her hair aside and put his mouth on her neck and gave her little nips that sent shivers up and down her spine.


"Come, my love, let's sit in front of the fire," Sully said. They moved over to the fire and sat on the rug. Michaela sat between his legs, leaning against his chest, with his arms back around her. "You are the light of my life, Michaela. I can never get enough of you....to look at you....to touch you....to make love to you."

"Sully, you are everything to me. Our time apart was very painful. I would wake up in the morning and look at the empty space next to me and the pain would be very physical. So much of it was knowing that the army was keeping us apart. When you go on trips because of the job, knowing you'll soon be back, satisfies my feelings. I don't ever want to be forced away from you again!"

"I don't want that either. I need the pleasure just being with you brings....I need you more than I ever thought it was possible to need someone."

He leaned around and kissed her cheek. He moved his hands up to her breasts to caress them. He felt her nipples harden under his touch. Then he started pulling at the little ribbons holding her nightgown closed. He pulled her around in his arms to face him and their lips met. Sully maneuvered Michaela so she was lying on the rug, all the time they kept their lips glued to each other. Michaela moved her hands up and down Sully's back. She loved the feeling of his skin under her hands. As their kiss ended, Sully started moving his lips down her body. He caressed each nipple with his tongue and then moved down. Her skin was like silk. Just as Michaela thought she couldn't take any more pleasure, Sully moved back up to her lips. Michaela felt the pressure of Sully's body moving on top of her and she moved her body to accommodate him. As he entered her, she arched up into him and was lost in the pleasure of his motion.


Sully opened his eyes in the false light of dawn. Michaela was snuggled against him on the floor in front of the fireplace and what was left of the fire. The only cover they had was her discarded nightgown, but the room was still warm and their body heat kept each other warm. Michaela's hand was laying on his chest with a possessive curl to it and their legs were entwined. She was laying there with such abandon. As he smiled, he felt her eyelashes tremble against his skin as her eyes opened.

"What a nice start to our vacation, huh, Michaela?" Sully asked.

"Oh, Sully!" Michaela said with a giggle, then, "it was nice, wasn't it?"

"Hmmm...delicious! Would you like to move to the bed?"

"Yes..." she whispered.

Sully stood up and helped her up. Then he lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bed. He laid her down and then laid down beside her, looking into her incredible brown and green eyes. "I lose myself in your eyes," he told her. Then he laid his head down on her breast with her arms wrapped around him. They both went back to sleep.


A few hours later they rose, dressed and went to breakfast. After breakfast, they hired a carriage and had the driver take them around Denver and the countryside. They talked and held hands during the ride. They arrived back at the hotel at noon and after lunch, they decide to spend the afternoon in the beautiful gardens of the hotel. They found a small lake in the gardens, with ducks and swans. Michaela and Sully sat down on the grass and watched the waterfowl in silence, just satisfied to be together. They watched the afternoon sun move across the sky and the shadows lengthen.

"Michaela," Sully said, 'it's time to go get ready."

"Ready for what?" she asked.

"For a surprise. Don't ask, just come."

When they arrived back at their room, Sully told her to dress in one of the fancy gowns Colleen had packed. Sully dressed in the formal suit he had worn back in Washington D.C. Michaela choose to wear the emerald green gown she had worn in Washington. When they were ready, they went down to the hotel dinning room and had dinner. After dinner, Sully took her to a carriage and the driver took them to the Denver Opera House.

"Sully, are we going to the opera?" Michaela asked.

"Yes......and I was able to get us a box."

They were seated in their box a few moments before the opera began. Sully glanced at Michaela and saw her eyes shinning with excitement and knew the surprise was a success. During the opera they held hands and Michaela would squeeze Sully's hand with excitement. When the opera was over and they stood to go, Michaela threw her arms around Sully's neck, "I loved it, Sully. Thank you ever so much!"

"You're welcome. I enjoyed it also." he ended with a kiss.

Sully led Michaela to the carriage and they rode back to the hotel with his arm around her, holding her tight.


When they entered the room, Michaela saw a beautiful bathtub set up in the little dressing alcove. The water was soapy and steam was rising. "Sully?"

"I thought you'd like a leisurely bath. Ya always have a hurried one at home in the kitchen. Here ya can take all the time ya want."

"Thank you, my love!" Michaela quickly shed her clothes and climbed into the bath. Sully hung her gown up and came over to the alcove to watch Michaela at her bath. She was leaning back with her eyes closed, enjoyed the luxurious feeling of the warm soapy water. Her hair was still up, the way she had worn it for the opera. Sully went to the back of the tub and started pulling the pins out of her hair until it was all down and hanging outside the tub.
"Stay still, my love, I'll be right back."

Sully went to the dresser and got Michaela's brush. Then before returning to the alcove, he took off his clothes. Michaela's eyes were slightly open and she watched her naked husband walk towards her. She marveled at the strength and beauty of his body.

"Michaela, are your eyes opened?" Sully smiled and asked when he saw a small glint under her eyelashes.

She laughed and nodded her head.

"Do you like what c'ya see?" he asked.

"Very much!" then she blushed

"Good," he said as he once again walked behind the tub. He knelt down and whispered in her ear, "it's all for you." Then he began brushing her hair. Sully knew he could never tire of brushing Michaela's hair. It was such a pleasure for him. As he was brushing, he looked over her shoulder and saw the tips of her breasts peeking up through the suds. He watched them rise and fall with each breath she took. "Beautiful, my love, beautiful," he said.

"What is?" she asked him.

"My view."

Michaela glanced down, realized what he was looking at and turned a bright red. "Sully!" And without thinking, she started to move her hands up to cover herself.

Sully dropped the brush and reached down to stop her hands. "No need to hide," he whispered in her ear, "no one here but you and me."

Michaela turned her head around to look at him, with a smile on her red face, and met his lips for a short kiss. "I can't believe the things you say and do to me," she murmured into his neck. "At times I feel like a naïve schoolgirl with you. Other times, just the opposite!"

"I like those other times very much," he said. "Have you had enough of your bath?"

"Yes."

"Then let me help you out."

Sully let go of her, stood up and got her towel. He offered his hand to her and helped her out. He wrapped her in the towel and held her close. He began rubbing her back dry with the towel and then proceeded to dry the rest of her. There were moments when Michaela would start to reach out to stop him and then she would stop, trying to conqueror her shyness at such administrations.

When he finished, Michaela said, "Now you get into the bath while I go put something on, okay?"

He smiled and stepped in the tub. It was still warm and did feel good. He took a quick bath and as he was getting out, Michaela came back into the alcove wearing the nightgown. She picked up his towel and asked, "May I?"

"Sure," he smiled.

As he had dried her, Michaela dried him. She even conquered her shyness to dry his private parts, blushing the entire time, as Sully stood still, with his hands on her shoulders. As she finished and dropped the towel, she moved her hand to tenderly caress his manhood, while looking into his eyes. Sully smiled at his blushing wife and picked her up in his arms to carry her to the bed. While Michaela had gotten her nightgown, she had also turned the bed covers down. He laid her on the bed and lay down beside her.

With their arms around each other, they snuggled close, relishing the warmth and comfort of the moment. After a few moments they started kissing, at first the kisses were light and tender, then they became more passionate, with their tongues meeting and enjoying. Then Michaela pushed Sully away a bit and started kissing his neck. Sully turned slightly so he was on his back and Michaela moved over him. She moved her kisses slowly down and her hand was playing with his chest hair. She kissed each nipple as her hand followed the line of his hair towards his belly. Sully made sounds of pleasure as she continued kissing and caressing his nipples with her tongue and her hand traveled down and felt his desire for her growing. She could not bring herself to go any farther, so she moved her hand back up to his chest, then she moved up to kiss his lips again. She looked in his eyes and they were full of love and desire.

Sully rolled Michaela over to her back and started undoing the nightgown. He parted the nightgown to reveal her body without a barrier, as minor as that barrier was. He kissed her forehead, then her eyes, cheeks and lips. He moved down to her throat, neck and shoulders, while his hands were caressing her body. Finally he reached her breasts and as she had, he began kissing and caressing her nipples with his tongue. His hands were still running up and down her body. He reached down to part her legs and moved on top of her, reaching down to guide himself into her. At first he went slowly, then all their desire and passion took hold they lost themselves in each other.


Michaela was the first one up the next morning. She put her nightgown back on and curled up on the bed to watch her husband sleep. She thought of the loving the night before and blushed at her actions of abandon. She knew he brought out the hoyden in her, something she never believed possible. A smiled formed her lips at the memories as she glanced down his body.

"What's ya smilin' 'bout?" asked Sully.

She looked up and saw him wide-awake and watching her. She blushed again at being caught in her review of him. "Last night."

"It was good, wasn't it?"

She moved her to hide her face in his neck as she whispered, "Yes...very...."

"I enjoy your boldness, and your touches!"

"I sometimes fear you might be disappointed in my actions," she murmured.

"Never, my love. Only if you were afraid to act because of the silly conventions you learned growing up. Throw all those thoughts away. Every day, and night, is a new adventure and we should live and enjoy it to the fullest."

She kissed his neck, "Thank you for loving me...you complete my life."

"I thank you too and feel the same way. We are bonded forever, Michaela, and no one will ever break that bond...I swear this to you."

They held each other tightly for a few moments.

"And now, my darlin', what would ya like to do today? This evening is already planned, but we have all day to enjoy."

"What's happening tonight?" she asked, knowing he probably wouldn't tell her.

"Wait and see...you must have patience."

"You tease me so!" she laughed. "I think I'd like to do some shopping for the children....would that be okay?"

"Sounds good. We should go now to breakfast and then shopping, or we might not get out anytime soon if your hand doesn't stop wandering."

Michaela pulled her hand back with a giggle and got out of bed.


As they walked around, they talked about what the children might like. They came to a bookstore and entered. "Look, Michaela, here's a children's book about a bug called a katydid. We should get that for Katie!"

Michaela laughed and agreed. "A katydid book for our Katiedid!"

They continued looking at other books. They found some new Jules Verne books for Brian, some books for Colleen by a couple of her favorite authors and some law books for Matthew. Sully picked up a new book by Walt Whitman and showed it to Michaela. She nodded her agreement that they should get it. They made their purchases and went down the streets again. They purchased a number of other presents for family and friends. They found a small restaurant and had lunch, then because of the number of purchases, they hired a carriage to take them back to the hotel.

Once in the room, with purchases put away, they sat down together on the couch.

"Did you enjoy today, Michaela?"

"Oh, yes, very much. I'm excited about the things for the children. And you will read me the poems by Walt Whitman, won't you?"

"Yes...late at night, at home, when we're alone in our room and our bed. That's the best place to enjoy his poems," replied Sully.

Michaela smiled her agreement and rested her head on his shoulder. "I love you, Sully."

"And I love you," he replied, kissing her on the top of her head.

They sat like that for awhile and then Sully realized Michaela had fallen asleep. He carried her over to the bed and laid her down. He took off her shoes and loosened her dress. Sully was not tired at all..he felt exhilarated by this time alone with Michaela. He picked up the book of poems and sat down on the couch to read them.


"Michaela, love, it's time to wake up," Sully whispered in her ear. "We have to get ready for dinner and the night out that I've planned."

Michaela slowly opened her eyes and stretched her arms. As she lower her arms, she put them around Sully's neck and brought his mouth down to hers for a kiss. It was a tender, loving kiss. As Sully stood up, he pulled Michaela up to him for another kiss, then helped her out of bed.

Colleen had packed a second gown, this one of fire red. Michaela put it on and again did her hair up. Sully wore the same suit he had the night before. They had dinner in the hotel restaurant again and then out to a carriage. And this time the driver took them to the Denver Theater to see a play. It had been years since Michaela had seen a play and she enjoyed it tremendously. Sully enjoyed the play and enjoyed watching Michaela's excitement. The play was long and they didn't get back to the hotel until midnight. Although she had taken a nap, Michaela was very tired and dozed on Sully's shoulder on the way back to the hotel. Sully guided her to their room, took her dress off (leaving her camisole on) and tucked her into bed. She was in a deep sleep instantly. Sully undressed and crawled in to bed beside her, satisfied with the evening.


The next morning began their last full day and night in Denver. Sully had arranged for a picnic lunch from the hotel and two horses. They rode into the foothills and enjoyed the scenery. They found a quiet stream to eat lunch by and Sully pulled the book of poems out of his saddlebag. "I know I said this was for home, but we're alone now and I want to read ya one of the poems. I found it yesterday afternoon while you were sleeping."

Michaela lay with her head in Sully's lap and listened to her husband's rich voice as he read her a poem of love and desire. When Sully finished the poem, he leaned over and kissed her.

"More," she murmured.

"The poem or the kiss?" he asked.

"Both!"

So he read her another poem and kissed her again. He put the book down, moved her off his lap and lay down beside her, with his head propped up on his hand and his other hand resting on her abdomen.

"What are you looking at?" Michaela asked, knowing the answer.

"You."

"What are you thinking?"

"If anyone comes here much."

"Why?"

"Because I'd like to unbutton your dress and bury my face in your skin."

Michaela blushed. "I never knew I could blush so much," she said with downcast eyes.

"It's very charming!"

"Sully! What are you doing?"

"Nothing..."

"Then how did those buttons come undone?" she asked, laughing.

"Hmmm...let's see....oops, some more are undone!"

Sully unbuttoned her dress to her waist and pulled her top apart. He put his head down and buried his face in the valley made by her breasts. Although her camisole was still there, it was so thin he could feel her through it. He pulled the dress apart a little more so that he could kiss the tip of each breast and as he did he heard her sigh. He knew he had to stop there, because this was not one of their private places near home where they could and had made love in the woods. He lifted his head up and looked in her smiling eyes. He knew she would not have stopped him if he had tried to make love to her here.

"I lose myself in your body, in your smell. I can easily forget where I am at times like these," he said.

"I too forget where I am when you touch me. The desire for you overwhelms me."

He reached down and buttoned up her dress. "I planned for us to have dinner in our room tonight and stay there the whole night. Is that okay with you?"

"More than okay."


Michaela and Sully returned to the hotel close to dinnertime. Shortly after arriving, the waiter brought their dinner up and set it up on the small dinning table near the fireplace. They enjoyed their quiet, cozy dinner.

After dinner, Sully pulled a chess set out of the dresser. "I asked the hotel to provide us with this. I thought ya might like to play."

"Oh yes, please..."

"Why don't ya put on your nightgown first?"

"To play chess?!"

"Sure. Especially if ya wanna win. The view would be so distracting I might not play good."

She laughed and then turned around and went into the alcove to remove her clothes, take her hair down and put on the nightgown. When she came back out, Sully had set the chess game up on the low table near the couch and he was sitting on the floor on the other side of the table from her. He did not have his shirt on and as she walked closer, she could see his bare legs.

"Sully, have you got anything on?" she exclaimed.

"No...'member, I ain't got a nightshirt and I wanted to be comfortable. Ya don't mind, do ya?" he asked with that mischievous grin of his.

"Dressed like this I can hardly said no, now can I?"

He smiled. "Shall we play.....chess that is?"

Michaela frowned at him, but with a twinkle in her eye. She sat down on the opposite side of the table.

"Your move, Michaela."

The game progressed slowly. Sully was enjoying the view and Michaela couldn't concentrate, between Sully's looking at her and knowing he was sitting there naked. Finally, when she made a bad move, she threw her arms up in frustration. "I can't play anymore!" she pouted.

"Why not?" he asked innocently.

"Because your eyes keep taking my gown off and sitting across from you knowing you have nothing on is distracting me!"

"I thought I would be the distracted one, my dear. So sorry. How can I help?"

"Oooo...," Michaela said in exasperation.

Sully laughed and stood up so quickly that Michaela did not have time to avert her eyes, although she knew she really didn't want to. He moved around behind her, lifted her to her feet and put his arms around her. "I love to tease you, Michaela."

"You do it so well, Sully!" She said, trying to sound angry, although he knew she wasn't. Of course, with his arms around her and his lips caressing her neck, it was hard to act too angry.

He held her tighter and kept his lips on her neck. "Ya know what I have really loved about our vacation?" he asked.

"What?"

"The knowledge that we won't be interrupted in here. At home there's always the chance one of the children or a sick patient will come asking for help. Here they don't know you're a doctor, so no one's gonna bother us unless the hotel catches fire!"

Michaela turned, in Sully's arms, to face him. She put her arms around his neck and her lips met his. They kissed in a series of little pecks. As that was going on, Sully moved his hands between their bodies and started untying the ribbons of her gown.

"Sully?"

"Hmmm..."

"What are you doing?"

"Nothin'."

"Oh," she said with a laugh.

When he was done with the ribbons, he slipped the gown off of her. Now they stood there, flesh to flesh. Sully crushed her to him, loving the feeling of her body pressing into him. He put his mouth on hers and searched for her tongue with his and finding it. They continue the deep and passionate kissing. Michaela's body started to tingle with pleasure as Sully hugged her even tighter. They slowly dropped to the rug in front of the fireplace and Michaela ended up on top of Sully. She started to roll off of him, when his legs pinned her where she was.

"Stay..." he whispered.

Sully began running his hands up and down her back, as far as he could reach. At times he pressed his hands into her and at other times he made them feel like feathers. Michaela moved her hands up to bury them in Sully's hair and a thought flashed through her mind about when she saw Sully for the first time she thought his hair was much too long and he should cut it in the manner of the Boston men she was used to; now she wouldn't have it any other way.

When Sully's hands became the feathers, Michaela pushed herself off of his chest. Sully glanced into her eyes and saw they were bright with passion. She moved her lips down to kiss and lick his nipples, one after the other and then back again. Sully couldn't help but groan with pleasure. As she continued, he felt her breasts pressing against his abdomen and his manhood rising. "Michaela."

"Hmmm?"

"I need to be in you."

"Yes!"

She brought her lips to his and he reached down to guide himself in. He put his hands on her rear to help her find their common ground. This was a rare experience for Michaela as Sully had usually been on top in their lovemaking. As they reached the heights of pleasure together, she knew it would not be the last. Slowly the movement subsided and the pounding hearts slowed down. While still together, Sully turned so they were on their sides. They lay there, coupled, gazing into their lovers' eyes. Finally Sully withdrew, turned on his back and Michaela laid her head down on his chest. They fell asleep this way, with their arms around each other.


Michaela had a pleasant sensation of hands on her breasts. She woke up and found Sully touching and playing with her. "Sully? Is it morning?"

"No. I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. I was watching ya when the desire for ya came. I wanted to make love to you one more time before leaving Denver. I decided to try to wake ya up with pleasure!"

"Hmmm...it worked."

Sully cupped her breasts and caressed her nipples with his thumbs. Michaela moaned as the pleasure got intense. She covered his hands with hers and stopped his movements to ease the waves of pleasure washing over her. He waited until she removed her hands and then he began again. After a few minutes, she moved her hands back to stop him again, so he moved his hands to grasp hers. While holding on to her hands, he moved his lips and mouth to her breasts and as she had kissed and licked his nipples, he returned the favor, one after the other. Michaela started to squirm under the intense pleasure of his administrations.

He knew the time was near, so he took one of her hands he grasped and moved it down between their bodies. He let her go when their hands were low enough. She reached and grasped his manhood, eliciting a sigh from Sully, then she guided him home. Their movements increased and as they had before, they ended the race together.


As they boarded the train for Colorado Springs, they took a last look (for awhile) back at Denver.

"Sully, this has been the best vacation ever. Thank you for these days...and nights. I didn't realize out worn out I was until you made me take this time off. I will never forget this 'second honeymoon', I think it's been better than the first because I've had the time to know how good togetherness can be."

"Second honeymoon. That's a good name for it. We have had a very 'loving' time," he said and watched the light blush creep up her face. "But when we get home, we need to remember to take time for us, even if it means spending a night at the waterfall."

"Oh yes, I agree...that actually sounds wonderful."

They went into the train car and took their seats.

"Sully? Please don't take this wrong, but I'm glad we're going home. I miss the children so very much."

"After this week, how could I take anything wrong? And yes, I agree, I'm glad we're going home to our family," he said as the train pulled out of the station.
