WORDS FROM THE COMMISSIONER:

Part I

We start out on our 10 mile hike and make one final check of gear and start on our way up. An awkward silence has been looming over us a bit as no mention is made of the night before and my late night urges, but we try to make small talk to break the silence. We take in the smell of the pines and admire the beauty and solitude of this majestic place. As we make it halfway up, the hike increases in intensity with a steeper, rockier grade. However, this doesn’t pose a challenge as we have both trained for this. We continue on and break a sweat as it’s hot and we aren’t shielded from the sun. But all our efforts are about to pay off in a big way.

PartII

As the trail takes more twists and turns and seems to go on forever, at the next turn we are greeted with a stunning sight: a powerful waterfall with a sparkling rainbow mist to further accentuate its beauty. Our fatigue fades and we experience a sudden burst of energy as we run toward the waterfall. Behind the raging water we go and get wet all over without any hesitation. The cool water is a welcome change after the sun has mercilessly pounded on us all day. We can’t help but to smile and laugh because the moment is so natural and joy-filled and we go to kiss each other at the same time. It is long and deep and desired by us both like water quenching a terrible thirst. We relish in this incredible moment, flirting, kissing, touching, wanting each other as the water makes our clothes cling to our skin. The passion of this moment makes us forget time and night begins to fall.

Part III

We make our way back down the trail enjoying its ease and the cool feeling on our skin from the waterfall mixed with the cool summer night air. The mood has changed from the start of our hike; the awkwardness has faded and it can be felt. As we reach our campsite we are reminded of the vastness of this place and that we are very much by ourselves. We start a fire and grab a blanket and wrap it around each other; you are behind me and we are sitting down both gazing at the fire, enjoying each other, revisiting the highlights of the day. Our conversation grows more intimate as the night goes on and you rub my shoulder. I say “ouch!” and you apologize, and I realized now I had a very severe sunburn! Thankfully I had aloe vera and you applied it lovingly on my shoulders and back. The sensation was a tingling pleasure mixed with pain, but I asked you not to stop. The way I asked you “Please don’t stop” with a sweet yearning in my voice gave you a very clear indication of what I wanted. I invited you to explore my body with your strong hands, first placing them on my breasts where you gently play and tease me, making my body squirm. Then I help your hand travel downward you very skillfully play with me and make me sigh (I am sure you can think of many things to say here that I would enjoy ;). As you arouse me more I want to turn around to tell you something and you sense this. You stop touching me and say that we really should go to bed as we have to get up early to pack all our stuff and be on our way back home ?!?!
