Island Paradisa.

[cgraven]

As Faith flutters kicks to shoe me away I fee something small and soft grab my bib toe. I twist and I see Snork smiling.

“Darats caught in the act before I could find cover again.” the lights plays with the golden highlights of Snork’s hair as it weaves in the current of the pool golden kelp on a golden mermaid and I smile accepting my defeat and surface like a purpose..

“Faith I am not the only fish in this sea.”

There is laughter in gayety in my voice. I am at ease in this seclude pool.

 

[Snork Maiden]

I watch as CG kicks his legs powerfully, sending him up to the surface. Taking a moment to watch a shoal of small fish edge tentatively towards me, hovering inches from within my grasp, they dart randomly about allowing me to examine their bright colors. Stirring the soft sand with my hand, grabbing a handful and letting it sift through my fingers; the fish dart into the slightly clouded waters that I have disturbed, seeking small morsels of nutrition.

As my lungs begin to tighten, telling me it is time to rise and replenish them I tuck my legs under me and kick myself off the bottom propelling myself rapidly toward the rippling interface that divides this aquatic world from my own.

My hands break the water and my body shoots skyward clear of the surface to my midriff before sinking back to my shoulders and neck, the warm sun reflects on the rippling waters of the pool and my face instantly begins to dry aided by the gentle warm breeze which blows in from the sea.

I begin to tread water gently, using my hands to paddle toward CG and Faith. Their shrieks and laughter fill the air and I smile as I move towards them.

This is such a beautiful place, the rushing sounds of the waterful behind me providing a canvas upon which others where overlayed. The birds, hidden from view in the lush green ferns and trees which lined one side of the pool, chirruked and squawked. The splashing from my companions as they played and the gentle lapping of the water as the ripples rose and fell against the smooth rocky outcrops along the waters edge making poping and slapping sounds. This is indeed an island paradise.

 

[faith]

Laughing at Cg’s playfulness, I swim away towards the falls. With each stroke, I feel the symphony of muscles and bone. Reaching the edge of the waterfall, I find a natural step. Sitting on the ledge I slightly part my legs, bending a knee, I lean back on my elbows then closing my eyes I raise my face to the warmth of the sun. A slight breeze caresses my body, exciting me, hardening my nipples…

I feel eyes upon me. Opening mine, I look down. My midnight blue eyes are captured by the fire I see in his hazel ones. Without fore thought I let my legs relax. Opening to him…giving him access to the core of all that I am…

As I watch him look at me, my breathing changes, need fills me… before his eyes, my fingers slide down and caress the flesh, parting it. My clit comes to attention before his gaze. Filling with blood to almost bursting. I can feel the echoing throb deep in my womb…in a voice just above a whisper…just a breath

“CG… I’ve missed you…”

 

[cgraven]

Snork shoots up from the pool kike Venus rising the life giving water shed from her nubile form in a thousand rainbow droplets. Faith laughter and teasing in this natural wonder of sight sound and smell, yes the furtive smell that surrounds us, sandalwood, jasmine and, the sweet fragrance of vanilla all combine with the primeval sent of the wild jungle that sourwoods us. Yes this is indeed paradise. Yet this Paradise was two eve but one Adam

Faith swimming for the falls her grace of moment natural and easy a live part of this very rare and special place and time. Again I slide beneath the shimmering surface in to the silent and tranquil world where sunlight is soften defused in to genteel columns reflecting off the living rainbow that make this pool home I see the alabaster columns of Faith’s legs open in an invitation bold and yet shy.

Slowly I rise to twin star shining midnight blue.

“CG… I’ve missed you…”

Faith’s voice a whisper, soft as eider down.

“And I you dear heart.”

I slip below the surface to except the invitation to
“Cupid’s Grove”.

Yes this is Paradise.

 

[faith]

Fire eats it’s way along every nerve ending, as i feel the power in his hand on my thighs opening me to his mouth…

Looking across the pool, I watch the Maiden…”God what is she thinking as CG pleasures me?” I arch into his caress. My eyes meet hers and silently plead for her to join with us…

 

[Snork Maiden]

From the cool waters of the pool, I watch as the two lovers begin their slow dance. Faith reclining on the cascading water her waist below the waterline but clearly seated on a concealed ledge smiles as CG swims towards her, he pauses and dips from view below the surface.

Turning from them I plunge below the surface myself back into the world of coors and wonders. The fish swim by in colorful shoals and the sunlight ripples on the softly undulating sandy bottom, broken by the ripples on the surface. The pounding of the waterfall muffled by the water resounds in my ears.

Reaching the edge of the pool I surface and clamber behind the cluster of ferns to retrieve my towel and clothing. Slipping quietly away affording them some privacy in this pocket of Utopia I make my way towards the seashore, carrying my beachbag and vestments.

 

[faith]

Very gently i reach for CG, with grace he lift himself out of the water... very softly I join our lips... leaning back I look in his eyes...

"love, lets save this for another time..."

Seeing the agreement in his eyes...I call out...

"Snork, give me a moment to get dressed and then please join CG and me on the beach... Phoo has pack a feast and we'd love for you to join us"

 

[cgraven]

“Yes faith later Luv.”


“Hay Snork Want to play on the beach and have some lunch?.... Phoo Ming is the best cook this side of Shanghai.’

There is a genuine light heartedness in my deep voice that some how got lost between bass and baritone .

 

[Snork Maiden]

Hearing Faith and CG calling after me I turn and wave smiling.
'Hey guys, no problem', I call back in response to their polite invitation to join them for lunch, 'I just fancy a quiet walk along the shore, you guys go ahead maybe I'll catch up with you later'

Turning back on the narrow trail that leads through the lush jungle, I continue on to beach. Ahead I can hear the sound of the waves that makes up this part of the Pacific, and the familiar smell of ozone and salt fill my nostrils.

Pulling my Raybands from a side pocket of my beachbag I look up through the canopy of trees which lines the path, the Suns rays breaking through the finger like branches of the palms as they sway in the breeze. Ahead of me the azure blue of the sea extends unbroken to the horizon.Its color darkened through the lenses of my shades contrasts against the golden sands of the beach.

 

[Henry]

Henry

I was enjoying the exquisiteness of the water as i lay in its tranquil arms, it was like a blanket and i never wanted to leave.

Hearing the sounds of footsteps approaching down the path i distinguished two sets , the island i had got to know most of its sights, sounds and smells and knew if something was different.

I slipped into the clear depths of the pool and swam swiftly and quietly into the cavern underneath the rocks. As the footsteps got closer my ears were aware of one set a little heavier than the other set. A couple have decided to explore the island and the water.

They soon found themselves in the waters tranquility and having a good time in the water. As i had lived on this island without company i watched in fascination as they frolicked in the water, looked like they were playing a game of chasey in the water.

I was extremely pleased that i had company on the island and wanted to shout out to them but then i spotted another vision of beauty in the water. I hadnt seen her on the island before and watched her intently as she glided amongst the schools of fish.

Time had passed as i sank lower into the water almost sitting on the bottom nearly stopping my breathing trying to be as quiet as possible. I didnt want them to leave and felt if i made a move they might.

MMMM that sure smells devine as the aroma was wafting over in my direction which is what half woke me up. Gradually coming to the surface i looked towards the sand to see the couple sitting down with some type of basket in front of them and the other beauty slowly walking off.

Damn i was hungry and the smells were really whetting the appetite, i glid under the water towards the beach.

I stood and slowly walked out of the water before saying "excuse me can i join you" as i watched the other vision of beauty leaving , hoping my words had been heard and that she might return.

 

[cgraven]

The sudden call of a voice startled me at first and I sun around by instinct and taking a step forward placing myself between its source and Faith, I guess too many years at sea made me weary and the Idealist setting had lulled me into a sense of security. Then I blushed seven shades of red.

Henry sorry you startled me Mate ……….Hell yes come join us for lunch It is the least we can do to show you are gratitude for being so charming as to lets us come to your Island.”

 

[Snork Maiden]

Walking along the water line, the waves rush up the shore spreading a white foamy blanket which dissolves almost instantly as the water seep into the warm sand.

I press my toes into the wet sand watching it lighten in color around my soles as the pressure of my footsteps forces the water from it. Another wave rushes forward, splashing gently around my ankles and covers the tops of my feet with a light covering of sand.

Behind me the same wave rushes over my footprints gently erasing them slighty with each passing so that they appear no more than faint reminders that something has passed. Still further back they have vanished completely, the surface healed of the wounds made in my passing.

My earlier companions appearing no more than miniture figures now as I glance back, they are settling down for their picnic and appear to found a new guest to entertain although it is too far distant to see who it can be.

The warm breeze blows my hair across my face and I brush it back with a hand. Out to sea a flock of gulls circle a shoal of fish, swimming close to a sandbar and seeking food.

Ahead of me a small headland juts out covered in the familar green of the palms which line the top of the beach, forming a tide break for this sandy bay.


I continue my walk occasionaly stooping to pick a colorful shell from the wet sand and rinse it in the warm water.

 

[Henry]

Slowly walking towards the shore feeling the wet soft feel of the sand engulfing my feet with each step i take , I thank CG for accepting me to join them.

Smiling and looking at both CG and Faith

The island is your island too. All i ask of those who visit is to have fun and be in peace with nature and themselves

Slowly relaxing my leg muscles i lower myself to the ground and sit cross legged across from CG and Faith, I *smile* knowing the island is filled with happiness and it makes me feel so warm inside.

CG i shall stay for awhile but I will leave as i dont want to intrude on your time with Faith here in such a secluded and very pristine part of the island.

The smells coming from the basket in front of CG and Faith were calling to me and made my tastebuds dance in my mouth

My eyes travelled away from the pairing of CG and Faith towards the vision of beauty that had walked away. She was fast disappearing out of sight, my eyes strained to see the outline and curves of her body in the distance.

My earlier close up views of her had been breathtaking. The way she moved so gracefully through the water was like a ballerina on a stage. How i wanted to get close up to her again.

Feeling a little awkward about sitting here i stood up and felt the muscles in my leg tighten as i excused myself from CG and Faith's company to take a walk in the direction the beauty had taken.

 

[Snork Maiden]

Reaching the point of the bay where the beach curves gently to the headland, I lay out my beach towel and stretch out to sunbathe.

The gentle rushing and ebbing of the sea as it runs up the sand soothes me. I close my eyes and let my self drift, carried by the sensual rhythm of the sounds around me.

 

[Henry]

I started walking along the path that flowed underneath the shadows of the palm trees breathing in the freshness of the air and feeling the palm leaves tickle my face as i walked past them.

Feeling more at ease back on dry land so to speak I let my senses guide me in the beauties direction. I stopped abruptly as i noticed her laying on a beach towel and sitting myself down slowly on a rock i let my body rest.

I observed the beauty laying there in peace with all around her and was captivated by the scene in front of me. It was like she belonged here.

Being as silent as i could i sat on the rock resting and relaxing my body tuning into all sights , sounds and smells around me becoming one with nature as island had intended.

 

[Snork Maiden]

Lying in the sun, relaxing and listening to the song of the sea, I am ware of the feeling that something or someone is watching me.

Pushing myself up on my beach towel I turn my head looking up the beach to the rocks and trees which crown the soft white sands dunes. It is man, closer now I recognise him from the China Pearl Inn, he is the quiet thoughtful one who comes by to smoke occasionally on the porch and to sup a few cool beers.

'Hey There, Henry', I call, 'Isn't this just a beautiful place'

I wave to him, hoping he will come and sit a while and chat.

 

[cgraven]

Beach Picnic

Henry joins us for a few minutes and then a bit uncomfortable at the close embrace that has Faith nestled in my arms.

CG i shall stay for awhile but I will leave as i don’t want to intrude on your time with Faith here in such a secluded and very pristine part of the island.

Henry excuses myself and takes a walk in the direction that Snork had taken.

Leanings over I whisper in Faith’s ear. Dear I think we are driving folks away….. Did I forget to shower this morning?”

I tease Faith

“For I know it can’t be you.”

Playful I roll Faith over on the old Canadian Army blanket our lips meet in a passionate kiss , then part slowly . They seem reluctant to part cling to each other pulling at each other till at last they separate.

Standing I offer my hand to Faith .

“If you gather some fire wood I’ll dive and see if I can find some rock lobster to go with Phoo feast. Faith.”

 

[Henry]

As i lifted my head i felt eyes upon me and knew i had been sprung. I noticed the beauty was waving at me and i stood up letting the blood flow back to my legs, as i went to step i froze in midair.

Mind was racing a thousand thoughts as i moved forward gradually towards the beauty *smiling*.

In response to Snork " I called out it sure is beautiful in more ways than one" .

As the sand glided through my toes i crept closer towards the beauty hesitantly and nervously i stopped just before her as she was kneeling on the blanket.

I let the strength from my legs go and gradually lowered myself to the ground just in front of her.

 

[faith]

*feeling his lips on mine*

the familiar taste of him is so heady...the weight of his body feels right... passion gives way to gentleness that comes with time ..our lips linger for just a moment before parting.... smiling into each others eyes he stands and offers me his hand...

“If you gather some fire wood I’ll dive and see if I can find some rock lobster to go with Phoo feast. Faith.”

*grinning*

"How did I know that you would end up in the water?...*laughing*...it's a deal!"

Giving Cg a saucy look over my shoulder...I *wink*

"catch enough to share"

Walking away, i start scanning the beach for drift wood

 

[Snork Maiden]

'Isn't it wonderful here, no traces of civilisation or the bustle modern world. Just Sun, sea and surf and the beautiful flora and fauna.', I say as the man cautiously approaches.

'It's ok', I smile, 'I won't bite.... At least not on the first date', I laugh lightheartedly in attempt to reassure him.

 

[cgraven]

“Never fear Faith…. I’ll find enough to share .”

reaching into my boat bag I rummage for a bit and find my mask, snorkel, and fins. Ther all “American Diver’ the design military and quite out of vogue with the modern scuba diving and snorkeling public. I strap on my dive watch more out of habit then need and wade into the lagoon before slipping away under the surface into to that quite tranquil world beneath the surface.

This is a far different world then the one of the falls pool a watery world where fresh and sea water mingles. A little of both worlds live and thrive here, and some forms of life that need this mixing of waters to survive. I glide along slowly letting the salt water buoy my body my movements effortless the snorkel just breaking the surface trailing behind me, my catch bag on a long lanyard behind me.

I cruse above the line that marks the separation of shoals from channel this is where I’ll find my quarry. The water is alive with the brilliant living color of the creatures that make the reef there home. Then in a line on the sandy bottom I see tem marching in single file rock lobster . and I dip fully beneath the water no longer the observer , but now the hunter.

 

[Henry]

"I feel in one with mother nature by being here on the Island".

The beauties laughter fills the air with such jubilation i start feeling a little easier and sit beside her.

Taking the beauties hand i kiss the back of it , pleasure to meet you Snork.

I let her hand slip from mine as i felt a little uncomfortable and nervous still in the beauties company.

 

[Snork Maiden]

Smiling as Henry, touched by his chivalrous gestures as he takes my hand and kisses it gently, 'I am so pleased to finally get a chance to spend a while with you', we always seem to miss each other at the Inn. Please call me Ro, all my friends know me as that'

'I promised Faith and CG that I would join them later for the picnic that Phoo has prepared, but for now we can leave them to do their own thing and we can do ours. ', I smile kindly at him

'Do you like to swim, I'd love to have a splash about in the water for a while, maybe snorkle the reef for some Crabs and catch Lobster to bake on a camp fire, wha' cha think?'

 

[Henry]

"Yes we do always seem to miss each other at the Pearl" . It is a pleasure to spend time with you here Ro.

"Joining them later does sound a good idea" *smiling at her * lets have some fun of our own.

I'd love to take a swim over there as i move my eyes towards a shallow inlet just off the beach foreshore. Perfect spot to find some yabbies to put on a camp fire.

My eyes roamed from the small inlet to just under the palm trees , then i said " a good spot for a camp fire dont you think".

 

[Snork Maiden]

Henry indicates a good place to swim and hunt crustacians, I smile, 'Looks good to me', he suggests we build a camp fire up near the trees.

'That can wait', I grin mischieviously rising to my feet and grabbing his hand to pull him up, 'Come lets swim, I'm baking out here in the Sun. I start to run towards the inlet, shouting back, 'Last one in cooks dinner'
