Chapter 20: Wednesday

The next morning started with Mikes shower with the angel team, and then the others got theirs. Breakfast followed as in previous days, the whole group enjoying the closeness it created.

When all was cleared away Kelli said, 'I think we need another restful day, Mike told me there are some lovely secluded pools not far from the cabin where a couple can be alone; I want him to show me his favorite.'

Mike said, 'if any of you want to find the pools just follow any of the larger streams into the woods, most have at least one pool on them, if you think you are getting lost just follow any stream it will end at the lake somewhere. Keep a phone with you and call if any problems.

Between them, they made up four snack packs of food, each enough for two people, and added plenty to drink. Mike told them, 'you are welcome to hike about naked, there are no dangerous animals as far as I know but pushing through the bushes can be difficult and there are a few patches of poison ivy and you definitely don't want to fall in those naked. I suggest to cover-up until you find the pools at least.'

Grinning at Kelli he continued, 'anyway it gives you a chance to practice greeting each other if you start off covered in clothes. I know I will when we get to my spot.'

They all dressed in the bedroom, surprisingly most found it embarrassing to be half-dressed in front of the others, they had been naked for more then four days without feeling uncomfortable but half-dressed seemed different. Packing a couple of large towels into the knapsack with their lunch Mike held out his hand to Kelli, 'shall we go and find a quiet spot for awhile alone, I think they can pair up themselves now, so we can go, come on lets get a head start. It's nearly ten now so I think everyone should be back here by say four o'clock, that leaves some daylight to find anyone missing if needed, we don't want to be stumbling around in the dark, that ends up in broken ankles. Last point, each pair must have at least one phone, we all have each others numbers for emergency but still, be careful.'

Mike and Kelli left and headed along the shore for some distance until they reached a mid size stream where Mike guided her along the bank following the stream deeper into the woods. To Kelli it seemed they walked for miles, in fact, it was a relatively short distance, but Kelli was just not used to walking in real wild woodland. Finally Kelli stopped and shouted at Mike who had not noticed, 'hay Tarzan, how much further are you going, this is not my idea of finding a place to be alone, we could just have waited till the others had gone and been comfortable in the cabin.'

Mike walk back to her and kissed her, 'sorry love, its not much further, I think you will love it but if you want we can wimp out and return.'

'OK you Tarzan, me Jane, where you go I go with you, just remember I am a city girl not an explorer. I need someone to build a path to beautiful places not fight my way through a jungle to get there.'

'I think it is just round the next bend, I would suggest blindfolding so you get the whole impact in one but I think the ground is too rough for that. Let's just get there and see how you like it.'

He held out a hand to Kelli and she pulled close to him and put her arm round him so that they walk side by side, holding each other tight they walked to the next bend in the stream and turned into a clearing with a cliff wall on the far side with a waterfall dropping into the pool. The sun catching the water drops creating a rainbow effect over what looked like a cascade of brilliant diamonds. Kelli came to a complete stop taking in the scene, finally Mike squeezed her gently and said, 'well, was it worth the effort of getting here or shall we just go back to the cabin?'

'It is beautiful, thank you so much for bringing me here. Your uncle is extremely lucky to own somewhere like this. I am so glad he let you share this place and I will be jealous forever that you get to come here.'

'Well I doubt uncle Chester is going to object to me bring my wife here, remember we will marry as soon as we can. How about spending our honeymoon here, not out here but in the cabin?'

Kelli threw her arms round him saying, 'yes, yes, yes. Have to make sure we hold the ceremony in the summer so we can spend time here as well; it is so romantic, thank you so much for bringing me here. Lets move onto the clear area next to the pool and I want to greet you here.'

Mike kissed again saying, 'I agree we will plan for a summer wedding. Yes let's go over there but this time I am going to greet you, I have never done that so in this special place I will greet you.'

Kelli was in shock, although she knew that she and Mike would get married it had never hit home people would then be responding to her as his wife, not just them keeping it secret from others. Mike guided her to the flat clear rock and putting the knapsack to one side, he moved to the centre with her and said, 'Kelli, my beautiful cheerleader angel, please, may I have the honor of greeting you.'

Kelli was still too shocked to talk, she just nodded, their greeting ritual was a reminder for her of how far she had fallen in her own eyes when she suffered the punishment, and now he was making it turn round, and be part of the most romantic place she had ever been to. She could not put into words how it made her feel; she thought she loved him before but now there was nothing she could think of that was suitable to express her feelings.

Since Kelli always did the greeting naked, Mike stripped rapidly and return to hug and kiss her saying, 'you are the most wonderful angel I have ever seen, I still think heaven is missing its most beautiful asset and hope we can remain together forever.'

He started undoing the buttons on her blouse and, as he removed it slowly, he covered to skin revealed in kisses, taking time to work over every part possible. Finally, he finished removing it and pulled her into his arms to kiss her mouth again. Releasing her, he started to open his mouth to speak but Kelli just a finger to it and shock her head. He just nodded once and grinned, and then dropping to his knees removed her shoes and socks caressing and kissing each foot in turn. Then following the ritual rose to kiss her again, hugging her tight which she returned even tighter.

Next, her jeans, which took longer as there was more skin revealed which needed kissing. By now the emotion running through her head where making her shake and when he rose to kiss her, his face was obviously questioning whether they should continue, she smiled making him feel the world had got brighter, and hugged as tight as she could, telling him to keep going without words.

He reached behind her to release her bra and, as it fell from her arms, he covered her breasts with a storm of kisses finishing on the by then very aroused nipples. When they hugged this time, the contact between his chest and her breast triggered an intense climax while they were kissing. It took some minutes with Mike holding like he had the very first night just caressing her back and swaying gently for her to recover enough to release him for the final act.
