Path to Elysian

[BeachBum25]

Her perfect breasts were pressed to his chest. as his hands on her hips pulled her tightly to him. When she moved his hands to her breasts, he caressed them firmly... rolling her erect nipples between his fingers. Pulling on those nipples lightly, Michael kissed Paige deeply. He had wanted this for so long. Her moan into their kiss convinced Michael that Paige had wanted this too.

He was surprised at how aggressive Paige was being as she pulled him down on the bed next to her. Not that he was complaining. He was fine with it. He felt her run her hand over his stomach. The feel of her nails on his skin made him move his hips toward her. He moved one hand around to her back and began to caress her back lightly before moving his fingers slowly down her spine; caressing each vertebrae lightly as he went.

When his hand reached her lower back, Michael allowed his fingertips to slip inside the waistband of her panties. He moved them along the waistband, slowly, but did not push them any further in. He wanted her so badly, but there was no way he was going to rush anything. He had wanted her for so long, and he wanted this to be incredible.

He broke the kiss and moved his lips over her skin. He tasted her neck, her shoulders, her collarbone and the top of her chest... all while still allowing the tips of his fingers to tease as they moved just inside the back of her panties. His arousal pressed through his boxerbriefs and sweats and against Paige's hip. Oh, how he wanted to be inside her... filling her deep.

 

[zydrate]

She shivered as she felt his kisses on her skin as she moved her hands from his waist and up his chest. From there, she held his shoulders and pushed him down as she move up, bringing his face to her chest. Paige guided his face toward her breasts...

Paige was beyond desperate so it took a lot of control not to seem too eager as she dragged her leg up his until she had it draped around his waist. Feeling his hardness as it pressed against her, Paige could only whisper his name... almost in a pleading tone...

In between gasps and whispers, Paige and Michael made eye contact for a brief moment, both reading the other's look of acceptance. There would be no regrets with what was about to happen.

Almost without realizing, she's found herself on top of Michael.. both still clothed from the waist down as she pushed herself against the bulge straining against his pants. Their lips locked in a hard kiss.

 

[BeachBum25]

When Paige moved up his body, Michael found his face buried in her perfect breasts. His hands moved up and down the soft skin of her back as his lips found each nipple and kissed and sucked and licked each one before letting his teeth graze over their erectness.

He heard Paige whisper his name and he was certain that there would be no regrets about what was about to happen between them. This was confirmed by the meeting of their eyes; another confirmation that each of them were certain that they wanted this.

Looking up at Paige as she moved on top of him, his hands moved back to her breasts and caressed them firmly... his fingers rolling her nipples between them and pulling on them lightly as the kissed hard and deep. It was a kiss that said, "I have wanted and needed this for quite a while."

Releasing her breasts, Michael moved his hands to Paige's back and slowly moved them down; his fingers caressing her spine as his hands moved lower. After allowing his hands to caress her incredible ass, Michael slid his fingers into the back of her panties and started to push them down. It wasn't a rushed movement. He took his time, allowing his fingers to brush the flesh of her firm ass as the kiss deepened; becoming wanton.

 

[zydrate]

Their lips were locked in a deep, passionate kiss as Paige lifted her hips enough for her panties to slip off over her ass and in the same motion, she was able to discard them to the side as she was now pressed against his hardness.

With a small moan of disappointment as she hadn't wanted to break the kiss, Paige reached between them and pushed her fingers in the waistband of his pants and slowly pushing them over and off his hips. She took a deep breath as she had wanted to move faster but she was taken aback as she realized this was going to happen.

Paige had confided in him about her sex life, which was basically non-existent because of school and now her job... there had only been one before Michael. To say he got away? Well, that was fine as Paige wasn't ready for a serious relationship at the time. She had just finished her first 6 months at her job and he had wanted her to quit her job and stay home since he was a lawyer, and doing extremely well for himself. He wanted a trophy wife and well, that wasn't Paige's style. So they broke up. That was that. Since then, she had focused on her career.

Yes, her career was important but she knew when she returned to work next week, life would once again become hectic with both their work schedule.

Not waiting for Michael to fully remove his sweats, she once again straddled him and rubbed herself against his hard length... fuck! just from that, she almost fell over the edge of ecstasy... she rested her forehead on his shoulder as she felt him reach between him and guide his hard cock slowly into her and that made Paige moan out loud...

 

[BeachBum25]

With Paige straddling him, Michael moved his hands to her hips after guiding his hard cock slowly into her. Holding her in place, with just the swollen head inside her, Michael kissed and nibbled on her shoulder as she pressed her head down to him.

He wanted to plunge deep into her, but resisted that. Michael was going to make sure that this was what they had both been waiting for. It was going to be perfect. It was going to be earth-shattering. It was going to be the one they would measure future times together against.

With his hands on her hips, Michael slowly guided Paige down onto him; slowly filling her with his big, hard cock... stretching her so good. Paige felt incredible wrapped around him. It took every bit of Michael's strength to keep from thrusting up hard to her.

"Move with me Paige. Move that incredible body with mine." They started moving together. Nothing was rushed. despite the fact that he had wanted this to happen for so long, Michael resisted the temptation to pump up to her hard and fast. This was not a wild fuck. This was going to be an incredible lovemaking session that they both would remember for a long time.

As Michael's cock plunged deep into Paige, his hands moved to her perfect ass and he held her there. He pulsed his cock while it was buried in her, and the incredible sensation of her gripping him so tightly caused Michael to lightly bite Paige's shoulder leaving a mark. For a fraction of a second, Michael was upset with himself and thought about what would happen if Paige's mother or father happened to see that, but that thought exited his head quickly as they moved together again. Their bodies moved in a rhythm that would indicate knowledge of one another even though this was their first time together.

 

[zydrate]

Move with him.. that was no problem for Paige.. she gasp with pleasure as she pushed her hips down to meet Michael's... their moves were slow and methodical as if they were joined again from a past life. She gyrated her hips against his, grinding and tossing her head back, crying out each time he filled her deep.

It took a lot to increase the pace as she wanted this to last. Wanted them to move together and be in tune with one another. It had been a very long time since she had been with someone but this time, it felt different... like a feeling of completion between them?

Could it be because they had spent all this time together, getting to know each other while holed up in this house? The ideal setting for making each other laugh and telling each other a deep secret about their life... was that the connection?

Paige wasn't sure and right now, she didn't want to think about that anymore... she just wanted to feel Michael pump in and out of her....

Soon, their pace became faster and Paige leaned down, kissing him fully on the lips, their tongues fighting for the same control their bodies wanted. Before she knew it, she was on her back and Michael was on top of her... they never broke contact as they continued their frantic movements with each other...

 

[BeachBum25]

Loving how they moved so perfectly together, Michael continued to move his hands over Paige's wonderful body. He always thought her body was nice, but with the hard work that they had been putting in, her body was perfect.

As they moved faster together, Michael accepted Paige's full kiss. Their tongues began a wild duel; each wanting control. Without warning, Michael moved Paige onto her back... never pulling out of her, and once she was on her back, he plunged deep inside of her. Staying buried in her, Michael broke the kiss and looked down at her as he pulsed his hard cock deep inside her hot, tight pussy.

Grabbing her wrists, Michael extended Paige's arms over her head. Then, starting out slowly, he began to move in and out of her again. The slow movements did not last long, though. He wanted her so badly, and she felt so incredible wrapped around him that Michael began to quicken the pace... thrusting his hips to her faster... harder.

Leaning down, Michael kissed Paige's neck.. being careful not to leave a mark. HE wouldn't want Paige to have to explain anything to her mother and/ or father. Moving his lips back to hers, they began another hard, passionate kiss that let each other know just how badly they wanted the other.

As their hips crashed together, Michael pushed deeper and deeper into Paige. As much as he wanted this to last forever, he knew that neither of them would be able to continue for much longer without achieving mind-blowing orgasms. It was only a matter of time now, and Michael was not going to stop.

Breaking the kiss, Michael whispered in her ear, "Cum with me Paige."

 

[zydrate]

Paige arched her back, wanting to open up fully for him.. she wasn't going to hold back because he felt so damn good, pumping in and out of her, making her cry out with each push into her.

She held onto his upper arms, which she was sure her nails were digging into him but they were both too distracted to care because they were both lost in the sensations of their lovemaking.

"Ohhhh fuuuuuck..." Paige said, feeling herself being pushed closer and closer to the edge. She knew it was only a matter of time but when he started to pump into her, faster and harder, she tossed her head back and screamed when he told her to cum with him... there was no way she was being quiet as her scream of pleasure seemed to over take her body. She could feel the waves of their combined orgasm wash over her body as her pussy milked his cock as he exploded into her.

They were both covered in sweat as they rested their foreheads against each other, their panting almost matching rhythm. Paige looked up into Michael's eyes and then brought her mouth to his, feeling his cock continue to pulse as he emptied himself into her, as she kissed him deeply...

 

[BeachBum25]

Their mutual orgasm was off the charts. Each of them struggled to catch their breath as their bodies remained pressed together. They kissed deeply and passionately. It wasn't a kiss between two people that were just hooking up. There was more to the kiss. He knew that he had feelings toward Paige that went beyond just the physical. Was it possible that Paige had reciprocal feelings?

Michael rolled onto his back, pulling Paige over on top of him.. never losing contact between the two of them. The kiss continued and Michael moved his hands over her body; caressing her back lightly... moving his hands down to her firm ass and playfully smacking each cheek before letting his hands caress her ass while digging his fingers into the wonderful flesh.

The post-orgasm kiss continued. There was no letting up between them. Their tongues attacked each other in an erotic duel. As far as Michael was concerned they could spend the rest of the day in bed together... creating their own form of Physical Therapy.

The sound of the bedroom door opening and a woman calling out, "Paige, are you in here?" shocked them both and obviously brought an end to the kiss. Looking up, Michael saw Paige's mother standing in the doorway. Then, he looked at Paige to see what her reaction would be. Michael had a feeling this was going to get ugly between mother and daughter.

 

[zydrate]

The last thing Paige remembered was screaming and then her mother running out of the room. With a couple of swear words, Paige managed to crawl off of Michael as she tried to get her clothes that were strewn about. "Mother!" She called out as she grabbed a robe, wanting to cover up but knew it wouldn't be enough.

She looked back at Michael and raised a hand at him, "Stay here. Let me talk with her," she said, exasperated while pulling on her robe.

It was as she left her room, she heard her father yelling and trying to comfort her mother. In between tears and sobs, Paige heard her mother say something about Paige and that guy from the security detail. Of course, it seemed like she wasn't making sense and when her father saw her, he continued to yell, "What the hell is going on Paige?! What did you do to your mother?!"

"What you both doing here?! You could have called!!" Paige said, "You can't just walk into my home, unannounced!"

"This is still my home!"

"Like hell it is! Grandpa left it to me, remember?! You both just can't--"

"She was naked with that man who got shot a few months ago!!!" Her mother screamed.

The screaming and shouting continued between Paige and her father while her mother leaned against the kitchen table, trying to get a hold of herself.

 

[BeachBum25]

He still had his hands on Paige's hips when she jumped out of the bed and told him to stay where he was while she talked to her mother. Michael could hear Paige's mother screaming and sobbing. The next thing he heard was Paige's father asking her what was going on, which continued into a debate about whose house this was.

Michael began reaching for his clothes. Despite Paige telling him to stay here, he thought it would be a good idea to have clothes on if her father came up the stairs and into the room. He heard her mother scream that Paige had been naked with the guy who got shot a few months ago. At that moment Michael saw his career going down the toilet. He knew Paige's father wasn't fond of him being around Paige, and now that her father was going to be the mayor, Michael figured the job was going to be impossible.

Once dressed, he sat on the edge of Paige's bed. What had been an incredible morning, and held promise for what could become a long-term relationship had now deteriorated into a nightmare. The shouting between daughter and father continued, and Michael felt the need to go out and defend Paige. He stood up and walked toward the door.

In the hallway outside her bedroom, Michael took Paige's arm in her hand. "Go back into your room and get dressed babe." He used the term babe on purpose and sound it loudly enough for both of her parents to hear him. When Paige looked at him, he nodded and kissed her forehead. Then, watched her go back into her room.

Walking down the stairs, Michael cut off Paige's father as he started to say something. "Your daughter isn't a teenager. She can make decisions on her own as to what she wants to do with her life. She is an incredible doctor that has saved many people's lives, and all you see in her is a pawn to be used when it is in your best interest. You roll her out for press conferences and photo ops, and then you send her back to do what she does without caring about her in the least."

Michael knew that he was twisting the knife in his career, but he didn't care. Paige was worth standing up for, even if her parents never did. "She took a bullet on that stage. A bullet that wasn't meant for her, but it was meant for you. Did you give a damn about that? Hell no. You used that whole situation as propaganda for your campaign. Your daughter and I have been up here doing physical therapy so that she can get back to doing what she does so well. I was doing physical therapy to help me heal from the bullets I took protecting you with hopes of getting back to work. However, knowing the way you are, I am sure my career is ruined."

He could feel his anger continue to boil. "Now, you will leave your daughter alone. You will not bother her. If she wants to see you, she will reach out to you. Other than that, you are not to contact her. If the situation changes, she will inform you of those changes. Now, i think both of you should get the hell out of here and leave Paige alone."

Turning his back to them, Michael looked up and saw Paige standing at the top of the steps. He didn't know how much she had heard, but he was pretty sure she heard it all. At that moment, Michael wondered if he had overstepped and was out of bounds on what he had said to her father.

 

[zydrate]

In her room, Paige knew she needed to get her head on straight. Her father was pissed and her mother... jeez... her mother always seemed to like to be so damn dramatic. As much as she wanted to dwell on it, Paige just shook her head.

Putting on a pair of black leggings and a sweatshirt, she waited a minute to calm down because yes, she was pissed. Pissed at her father treating her like this. She had asked for the extra keys back from him and he gave them back to her... and she could only conclude he had made a new set. Why were they here anyway? She told him she'd be back in town on Tuesday...

Taking a few calming breaths, Paige yanked her bedroom door open and bounded down the stairs just in time to hear the remainder of Michael's 'talk' to her father. He voice was loud. Almost reaching the same loudness as her father's....

Her father looked at her and started to say something but Paige stopped him, "Leave." She told him. And she hoped her voice wasn't shaky because that's how she felt. Was she helping Michael throw out her father?

No one said anything as her father's eyes locked with hers and Paige held her ground...

Once they had left, Paige stared at Michael. She bit her bottom lip before telling him, "I can't believe you did that." She said quietly as he approached the bottom of the stairs and she was at the 4th step above him. She saw he was going to say something but all Paige could do was look at him before she cracked a smile and jumped into his arms... and thank goodness he caught her in his arms, "No one, other than my grandfather, has ever stood up to that man like that." She wrapped her arms around his neck, "I'm sorry they arrived here unknowingly... " She told him about the key she had gotten back from him. "I guess he had dups made."

She was still in his arms as she continued, "Did you really mean all that... about what you said about me?" It seemed like a lame question but she had to know.

 

[BeachBum25]

After turning his back to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, Michael's eyes were on Paige. He didn't have to wait long to find out how Paige would react to what he had said to her father. When she told them to leave, Michael felt that Paige was okay with what he had done.

After the door slammed closed as her parent's left, Michael continued to look up the steps at Paige. "I did it because I don't like the way they treat you." When she suddenly jumped into his arms from the fourth step, Michael laughed as he caught her and held her close to him. He loved that she did that. It showed that she trusted him, and it also told him that what was developing between them was more than just about sex. Oh, there was nothing wrong with the sex that they had been engaged in earlier, and he was pretty certain that if her parents had not interrupted, they would still be engaged in.

"Paige, he is a bully. He figures out who he can manipulate and he forces them to do what he wants. I am sure that when your grandfather stood up to him that your father backed down. Your father doesn't want to deal with strong personalities. He is happy to strongarm the people that he can control. With you, he has been doing it since you were a child, I am sure. It has been your norm to just do as daddy and mommy say."

"If you want, I will go to the store today and get new locks for the exterior doors and I will change them. That way, your house will only be accessible to you. You won't have to worry about them popping in on you anymore." He gave Tori a small kiss on the lips.

Looking deep into her eyes as he still held her in his arms.. not putting her down. "I meant everything I said Paige, and, if I wasn't worried about making the situation even worse between you and your parents, i would have said even more. You are an incredible person. You are an amazing doctor. I have seen you work, remember. I have seen you take risks for your patients... risks that I told you were extremely reckless, but you did it because of your dedication to your profession. Oh, and you are incredibly beautiful and sexy too. I don't think I told him that part, but you are." He laughed a little and gave her another kiss.

"I have seen how they have used you as a pawn during his campaign. I did not know you when he was running for city council, but I bet he did the same things then, too. You are a highly educated, highly trained physician and you should not be at his beck and call to just appear at press conferences and photo shoots so that he can project an image. You have your own life to live and I just wanted him to know that he should leave you alone to live it the way that you want."

"So, I guess I should spend the rest of my day planning out my job search, because I am sure that the new mayor in Boston is already making calls to figure out how to end my career." He chuckled a little as he looked into Paige's mesmerizing eyes. "Do you need a man-servant? I can cook and do the cleaning and the laundry. I can make myself very useful."

 

[zydrate]

Of course Paige knew all this... she had stood up to her father several times and the ending result was never how it was tonight. But Michael was right about all this. Her father was a bully and her mother? Ugh...

He mentioned going into town later for new locks and that's when Paige remembered his birthday surprise she had planned for him later that evening. She nodded slowly, "Yeah, that would be a good idea." Then she laughed, "Look at you, taking care of my locks again... kind of brings back how we first met."

She realized she was still in his arms and tried to squirm out of them but he held her tightly so she stopped. "He's not the mayor yet... anything can happen." But she knew he was probably right. Her father was going to be mayor and he was already throwing around his weight.

Michael mentioned manservant and his job and Paige laughed, "You want to be my manservant? Hmm.. not sure if you could handle all my demands..." she kissed him lightly, "I wouldn't worry about your job. He wouldn't stoop that low..." Right?

"Tell you what, it's your birthday and I'm sorry we were interrupted so I owe you something for that intrusion and also for standing up for me. Do you want breakfast? Or what? You name it."

 

[BeachBum25]

Feeling Paige squirming in his arms, Michael thought that she was uncomfortable being there. As she continued to talk, he moved toward the counter in the kitchen. "He is going to be the mayor, you and I both know it. He has a commanding lead in all of the polls and his opponent has practically given up campaigning because he knows it is futile."

"Not worry about my job? Really Paige? You know the man. I have only had limited access to him as the head of his security detail. I know what he is planning. There are a lot of people who are going to be out of jobs because he either doesn't like them or he feels they have done something against him. I am pretty sure that you just witnessed me doing something to make him dislike me. He can't fire me, but he sure can make my life miserable on the job."

"You do have a lot of demands that you make, but I think I could handle them." Michael returned her kiss as he sat her down on the kitchen counter. The morning had started off so well, but he wasn't sure where, if anywhere, Paige saw things going between them. Their morning in bed had been the culmination of a lot of time together; each of them pushing themselves and each other to get better physically. Was it more than just an opportunistic sexual encounter between them. Michael would like to think so, but he wasn't sure about Paige. He still had that initial date in his mind where he thought things were going well, and the next thing he knew Paige was leaving.

"You don't have to do anything special for my birthday Paige. You have done so much for me already. Just getting me here and away from that rehab place was more than you could be expected to do, and then allowing me to rehab here for the last few months. That is enough of a present."

He backed away from Paige ever so slightly while looking at her. "Oh, and yes, this morning was pretty damned special too." He laughed a little. "I stand corrected, that was the best gift you could have given me. Oh, and Paige, you do not owe me anything for standing up for you. It was the right thing to do. I know you told me to stay in your room, but I couldn't let them... him.... yell at you like that. He needed to hear from someone other than you that you have your own life and he does not control it."

"How about I make some breakfast, and I let you clean up after breakfast while I go get the new locks? That can be a present for me... you on clean-up duty."

 

[zydrate]

"OK, OK... You're right." She said, knowing his was right about how her father would make his life miserable because he was mad at her. It sucked. There was probably something she could do about it, but she would wait until she talked to him on Tuesday. Yes, she was still going to go… well, she had committed to going and she wasn’t going to back out because of all this.

When he said she didn’t have to do anything special for his birthday, she kept her expression neutral and nodded. She wasn’t about to tell him about the small set of decorations and presents she was going to have delivered later day. If she could get it, perhaps she could get them delivered before he got back from getting the locks.

“Clean up after breakfast? Is that all? Hmm, I can definitely do that.” She quickly kissed him on lips and then hopped off the counter before ducking under his arms, “I’m going to go shower while you start breakfast!” She said, running off and up the stairs.

Once upstairs and in her room, she shut the door and grabbed her phone. It was then she saw the missed calls from her mother and of course, her father, made earlier in the morning. It probably would have helped her if she didn’t have her phone on silent then maybe she would have heard it? No matter. Quickly dialing the delivery service, she asked if she could have the delivery for that day bumped up to around 10-11 that morning. It was still pretty early so that would give everyone plenty of time to do what needed to be done.

She stepped into the shower and let the hot water massage and relax her. It had been a trying morning... more with her parents than anything else. She was not complaining about her time with Michael. Good lord, he was amazing in bed… it wasn’t anything she had planned but she was glad she kissed him. To be truthful, she had started to develop feelings for him over these past few weeks. They were good together… and so far, in more ways than one. They had similar tastes in a lot of things. She wondered if he felt the same way…

 

[BeachBum25]

Watching as Paige ran up the stairs, Michael couldn't take his eyes off of her until she went into her room and closed the door. Then, he went to the refrigerator and took out the ingredients to make Paige an omelet. He wasn't that hungry. Michael was still a little fired up after the interaction with Paige's father. He decided that it would just be coffee for him this morning before he headed out to get the new locks for Paige's doors.

Preparing the vegetarian omelet for Paige, Michael picked at some of the peppers that he was using for her breakfast. He enjoyed doing things for and with Paige. He really enjoyed his time with her and letting her know that he didn't expect her to wait on him for everything.

Once the breakfast was ready, Michael placed it on the counter and sat down with his coffee. After finishing a cup, he got up to pour a second cup, and decided to use the time waiting for Paige to come down to check the exterior doors and see just what he needed to replace. After making the rounds, he returned to the kitchen, just as Paige was making her way down the stairs. He looked up at her and smiled. "I am going to have to heat it up for you. You sure took your time in there."

After putting the omelet in the microwave just long enough to heat it up, Michael took it out and sat it in front of Paige. "I hope you like it." He poured her a cup of coffee and sat it in near the plate. Then, he moved around the island and sat next to Paige. He watched as she ate, and actually stole her fork and took a couple of bites of the omelet. "Not bad, if I may say so myself."

Once she was finished eating and starting to clean up, Michael said he was going to head to the big box store to get what he needed to change the locks. "I shouldn't be too long. Is there anything else you need while I am out Paige?"

At the store, Michael picked up the tools he would need to do the work, and he picked up new handles and deadbolts for all of the exterior doors, including the side door to the garage. If he was going to change the locks, why not just do all of them. On the way back to Paige's house, he decided to stop at the little flower shop in the small town. Paige had a tough morning, so, he thought he would get her some flowers to cheer her up.

Pulling into the driveway, Michael gathered all of his purchases, and headed for the front door. It had been a couple of hours since he had left and he wondered if Paige had any misgivings about what had happened in the morning that she would have spent her free time thinking about.

 

[zydrate]

Paige was just finishing up with the last of the decorations... balloons. She wondered if she had ordered too many balloons? Maybe she should have ordered more?

The living room, fire place and entry to the kitchen were decorated in black and silver. Why those colors? Well, it was Halloween AND it was Michael's birthday so... she wanted something not too loud. She could have done a bunch of wild colors but he wasn't a wild colors guy. Even the 2 layer cake was probably a little too much but she didn't care, he deserved it.

She had a roast in the oven which wouldn't be ready until later that evening but for now, they could snack on a few snacks she had ordered that were delivered with the decorations and cake.

After making sure everything looked good, she had changed into a pair of black leggings and a white t-shirt.

While she waited, she thought about this morning and all that had happened. She knew deep down she would have hell to pay when she showed up at her father's own election party. But she would do her role, show up, smile for the cameras and pretend their were the every loving family that everyone thought they were.

Well, not everyone. Michael had seen right through it all. And normally, she wouldn't have cared so much had he just been another security detail for her father but no... she did care.

She cared enough to make love to him this morning... no inhibitions, no regret.. hell, she secretly wondered if they were going to do it again... soon, she hoped.

"Wait... love?" She said out loud to herself. They had sex. That was it.

No.. it wasn't just sex... it was more--a lot more.

Just as she was going to think about it more, there was someone at the door. It was Michael. Going up to the door, Paige opened the door for him and pushed him back outside, "Wait!!" She said, smiling, "I have a surprise for you."

She had reached up to cover his eyes with her hands but he was just too tall. Not that she wasn't short but she didn't want him to see anything and to make sure he didn't look, she wanted to over his eyes. With a quick decision, she spoke up, "Kneel down." He gave her a puzzled look before doing so. Wow, no argument? Perfect.

Paige got up on his back and covered his eyes with her hands from behind, "I'll guide you inside."

 

[BeachBum25]

Michael was shocked when Paige met him at the door and pushed him back outside. Initially, he thought that she didn't want him to come in because of what had happened this morning. However, when she said she had a surprise, he relaxed a little.

When Paige reached up toward his eyes, Michael enjoyed how her body pressed against him. He got a quick glimpse at her in her white t-shirt and black leggings and was disappointed when she covered his eyes that he didn't get a better look at her.

Having no idea what Paige was up to, but being willing to let her lead, Michael got down on his knees as she asked him to do.... or was she telling him what to do? Watching as Paige moved around behind him, he then felt her climb on his back and cover his eyes. This was a side of Paige he had never really seen. She was always so conservative, well, until this morning anyway, but now she was being playful. This was a side of her that Michael really enjoyed seeing.

Once she was on his back and covering his eyes, Michael stood up. Carefully holding onto the packages in his hand, he was even more careful to hold onto the special package on his back. "Okay Paige. I trust you to guide me. Of course, if you don't do a good job of it, you are the one who will have the longest fall."

Carefully, Michael stepped inside Paige's cabin with her on his back and her hands over his eyes as a blindfold. He had no idea what she was up to. What could be the surprise that she had? He wasn't sure, but he had a feeling he was going to like it.

 

[zydrate]

"OK... ok.. walk forward..." the verbal directions she gave him where precise enough for them to make it through the door and about 2 feet from the kitchen island. At the island, Paige told him to stop before whispering in his ear to keep his eyes closed. With that, she slid off his back and took the bags from him and set them aside.

She dimmed the lights and with the overcast of the day, it made the cabin dimmer than usual at this time of day. Paige quickly grabbed the electric lighter and lit the candle on the cake before stepping back next to Michael, "OK...open your eyes!" She looked up at him and watched his reaction as he saw the sight before him and she told him, "Happy Birthday!"

Walking up to the decorations and the 3 little gifts she had gotten him the last time she was in town, she pointed out what was what, "I know you said you never really celebrated your birthday but I like parties, so..." and continued as she paused to catch her breath, "I kept the cake and decorations simple."

"I hope you don't mind?" She finally stopped and looked at him, hoping his reaction was going to be positive even after all that happened earlier in the day, "I had all this planned for a good few weeks so.... yeah..."

Following Paige's directions, Michael maintained a tight hold on her as she rode on his back and covered his eyes. When she whispered in his ear, it sent shivers through his body despite the fact that she was only telling him to keep his eyes closed.

Complying with her, Michael did as Paige said and kept his eyes closed. His mind was racing; wondering what Paige was up to. This added to the "new" Paige that Michael was experiencing.. and was enjoying. Her playfulness about hiding his eyes and riding on his back and now the mystery of having him keeping his eyes closed while she was doing something... what? he had no idea.

When Paige told Michael to open his eyes, he was in shock. He looked at the candles burning on top of the cake. the decorations, and what appeared to be three small gifts wrapped and sitting near the cake. He couldn't believe his eyes. All he could say was, "Paige!"

Leaning into her as she stood next to him, Michael continued to look around. Then, looking over at Paige, "you didn't have to do all of this. I can't believe it. Thank you very much."

"No, Paige. I don't mind. I never really celebrated, because there hasn't been anyone to really celebrate with. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this Paige. This is really thoughtful." He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "So, you like parties, do you? It doesn't look like this is going to be a big party, but I hope that I am enough company for you to enjoy yourself."

He turned to face her and took Paige in his arms. "You are incredibly thoughtful, in addition to being beautiful. Thank you very much." He kissed her deeply while holding her close to him. Once they broke the kiss, he smiled at her. "Let's get this party started."

"Wait.. make a wish and then blow out your candles!" She said, seeing the wax on the 3 single gold candles. She watch with keen interest as he did so.

Paige had to laugh when he said to get the party started. She looked up at him, "Well, I have a roast going and so that won't be ready until dinner so... how about I help you with the locks first and then start our daily exercise?" And much as she wanted to say to continue their morning 'activities' she felt it wasn't the right time... at least, not now...

That is if he wanted to continue. She wasn't sure if this morning was just a one time thing or if it was something he was willing to continue.

She took the candles off the cake and then placed it in the fridge as it was a cake that had a mousse filling. They would attack the cake later after dinner. Her heart was fluttering as she was happy he was pleased with this surprise. A weight was lifted as she could relax now... she just hoped the roast turned out edible.

"OK, I can help you.. just tell me what to do to help. I just don't want to get in your way."

 

[BeachBum25]

He laughed a little when Paige told him to make a wish and blow out the candles. After doing so, he fully expected Paige to ask him what his wish was, but she didn't, and that was good, because he wasn't going to tell her. She might be upset if she heard what it was.

When Paige said that there was a roast in the oven and she was going to help him with the locks, Michael was a little disappointed. He had hoped they would spend some time together continuing what they had been doing when they were so rudely interrupted. Maybe she wasn't interested.

"Oh, okay. I see how it is. You are going to surprise me with a birthday cake, then you are going to put me to work doing manual labor at your house, and then you want to workout. Hmmm, that doesn't sound like a birthday celebration to me." He tried to keep a serious look on his face, but couldn't. He didn't want to upset Paige after she had worked so hard to surprise him on his birthday. Hell, he didn't want to upset Paige, period.

Giving her a wink and a smile, Michael grabbed the bags with the locks and the tools. "Okay then, boss, let's get to work on these locks. We have to make sure you are safe here since you are out in the middle of nowhere."

They started on the front door, Michael removed the existing lock and then he unpackaged the new lock. "Here is where you get to help." Michael explained to Paige what to do, and watched as she put the new lock in. "Be careful Dr. Jackson, we don't want you to injure those delicate hands." He laughed as she used the screwdriver to tighten the screws to secure it in place.

Looking at the finished product on the front door, Michael nodded his approval. "You did that with the skill of a surgeon. Maybe you missed your calling." He smiled at her, hip checked her lightly and then grabbed the bag with the remaining locks and moved to the next door. Over the next hour, they replaced the remaining locks with Paige helping on each one. He thought she was happy to help, but he was certain that he was happy to be spending the time close to her securing her house from her parents' invasions.

Once they were finished, Michael put all of the old locks in the bag. "I will keep these. Maybe I will be able to use them someday. You never know when someone needs their locks changed." After putting them away, and having Paige tell him where he could put the tools, Michael told Paige that instead of one of their physical therapy routines, that he would like to go for a run around the lake. "You can set the pace. I just think it would be a good way to burn off some energy."

They each went to their separate rooms to change for their run. Michael put on shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt. He was hoping to work up a good sweat. Once he was changed, he walked past Paige's room. Although he was tempted to go into her room, Michael did not. He still wasn't sure that she wanted to continue what happened between them earlier. So instead, as he walked past her door, he said, loudly, "I will be downstairs when you are ready Paige."

It felt good to help out with the locks, changing them to something different. It also felt more secure now that they were all finished. The roast was starting to smell really good. She hadn't much planned for tonight, the biggest thing was getting the decorations and Michael's gifts delivered on time and while he was away. Truly, if it hadn't been for the locks, she would have sent him to get something from the store...

As they finished up and put things away, Paige went to her room and quickly fixed her bed. Her thoughts went back to this morning and it sent a shiver through her. She had no regrets to what happened, she just wished they could have continued... As she changed into her running attire, she thought more about this morning and how her parents ruined it. Damn them... she was going to have a long talk with them when she got back next week. But for now, she wasn't going to worry about them.

She heard Michael say he would be downstairs and she told him she was almost ready.

But the truth was, she did worry. She worried more about what Michael had said her father could do. He wouldn't be that petty... would he? Yes, he would...

That thought echoed in her mind as she finished up. Well, she would still talk to him, get him to back off, hopefully.

Once she changed, she bounded down the steps and saw Michael looking out the window. They were lucky so far and hadn't gotten any snow. But the forecast had said they were bound to get some this weekend.

"Ready?" she asked as she opened to side door and headed out.

They stretched for a few minutes and even though it was chilly, she knew the weather wouldn't phase them when they worked up a sweat.

Paige smiled at Michael, "Ready?"

As he promised, he let her set the pace. This was also something she hadn't done before meeting Michael... run for exercise. But now, she was able to keep up with him, especially now they were about to go back to the city.

They hadn't talked much as they ran, mostly because the trail wasn't that wide so he had to follow her. Paige led them around the outside of the lake and then back toward the house. Just as they were a few yards, it started to lightly snow. Paige took a minute to catch her breath and watch the snow.

She had a sudden thought as she shivered a bit from her sweaty head and the cooler air, turning to Michael, she nudged him, "Join me in a hot shower?"

 

[BeachBum25]

After descending the stairway, Michael moved to the window and looked out toward the lake. He really loved it here. It was so much different than the city, and he was starting to think that getting out of the city was something that he wanted to do. He had the skills to find gainful employment out here... doing what, he wasn't quite sure, but he could do it. He would just have to find the money to buy something out here on the lake.

Lost in his thoughts, he did not here Paige come down the stairs. He heard her ask if he was ready as she opened the side door. He turned and saw her in her running outfit, and his jaw fell open. She looked incredible. It made him want to grab her, carry her back upstairs, and continue where they had stopped this morning when they were so rudely interrupted. Instead, Michael just nodded and followed Paige outside.

As they stretched, Michael had a perfect view of Paige's tight ass. They had started their stretching facing one another, but now, as she bent over to stretch her hamstrings, she was facing away from him. Michael wondered if she turned away on purpose in order to tease him.

Their run around the lake was awesome for several reasons. The scenery was great, both the lake and trees and Paige's ass. Since the path was so narrow, Michael had to run behind Paige, and his focus almost the entire time was on her glutes. This caused a problem several times because he wasn't watching the path, and he stumbled a couple times.

As they approached Paige's house, the snow started to fall. It was only a light snowfall, but it beautiful as it fell through the trees. He could feel it getting colder, and combined with the moisture in the air, it made it time to get inside. He bent over to stretch for a second, when Paige nudged him and asked if he would join her in a hot shower. Michael stood up and looked at her. "Well, if I don't join you in that hot shower, I may need to take a cold shower after seeing you in your sexy outfit and following that incredible ass around the lake."

He followed Paige into the house and locked the door behind them. He wasn't sure what was going to happen between them, but whatever did happen, he wanted to make sure that they were not interrupted by uninvited visitors. He placed his hands on her hips from behind and pulled Paige back to him. He kissed her neck and then whispered in her ear. "Taking a shower in cold water would be hot with you Paige. You are so damned sexy." He then turned her head and kissed her passionately.
