“You have turned a delightful
shade of red Jessie.  I’d say a penny for your thoughts if I wasn’t worried
about being shocked,” said Mack feigning innocence.  His face pulled it off but
the twinkling eyes were so full of mischief that I couldn’t help but laugh. 

Mack leant over and pushed a
stray curl behind me ear and his touch left me tingling and wondering where I
was going with this.  Other than Jay I hadn’t slept with anyone else and after
six years of marriage the only orgasms I’d ever had where those that involved
just me!  I longed to experience the mind blowing sex that you read about in
books and my inner thoughts were persuasively saying Mack was my man!  No
wonder he thought I was having naughty thoughts, I so was!

I had always thought I was an
old fashioned girl who liked to take it slow but it was like someone had
flicked a switch.  I was mortified by my flirting and powerless to stop.  My
hands had a life of their own and one destination.  I might as well have had a
flashing neon sign on my head saying I’m available and keen!  

I could feel the blush deepen
and was glad when the waitress turned up with our meals as I could see Mack was
finding the whole blushing thing highly amusing!  I changed the subject to
safer topics and asked him what he did for a living. 

Mack was quite general in his
answer and I decided not to probe and instead we talked about some of our
hobbies and quickly found that we both had a love of the outdoors and anything
adventurous.  

We bantered our way through
dinner and by the time we finished the local band was starting up.  It became
hard to hear each other over the music so Mack suggested a walk on the beach. 
I liked the idea of being alone with him and agreed.  It felt like I had known
him so much longer than the couple of hours over dinner and I didn’t want this
night to end just yet.  I wanted to spend more time with this Scottish enigma
who was so strong and manly on one hand yet soft and caring on the other. 

Mara wouldn’t accept a cent
for dinner.  She gave me a warm hug and strict instructions not to head back to
Auckland on Sunday without saying goodbye.  I laughed and kissed her on both
cheeks and said I wouldn’t dream of it. 

Mack guided me out of the pub
and I was delighted to find my hand inside his large one as we wandered in
silence down to the beach below.  It was a clear night and the stars away from
the city lights were extra bright and the moon was low over the sea lighting up
the beach.  It was magical and we both stopped half way down the hill to drink
in the view.  Mack was behind me and he gently pulled me back into his arms so
that my back was nestled up against him.  

“I want you Jess.”  Mack
whispered so softly that I barely heard him over the waves below and he turned
me around and pulled me to him.  I could feel the heat of his chest through my
blouse and I felt breathless as he lowered his lips to mine. It felt like I had
been waiting for this moment all my life.  Or for at least three hours!  His
lips were warm and firm as he gently explored my mouth and I could feel my body
responding.  My hands found their way to his hair before they ran down the
length of his back and finally found their way under his shirt to his chest. He
felt warm and strong and I longed to get his shirt off and for our bare skin to
be touching.  

Urgency arose in my body as I
felt Mack’s arousal pressing against my stomach.  It had been so long since I
had been held by a man.

There was a tug on my shirt
as it was pulled from my leggings and I felt his hand move up my back before,
deftly undoing the clasp on my bra.  He pulled me in even closer as he deepened
the kiss and his hand came round to cup my breast as he gently rubbed my nipple
until it was hard and aching for more.  I wanted his lips all over me.  

Mack pulled back fractionally
and looked down at me, his eyes asking me if I wanted more and I wordlessly
grabbed his hand and led him round the path towards my parent’s holiday house. 
I pushed down the niggling doubts that this was insanity and we had just met. 
For once I was determined not to overthink things.  I wanted to go with what my
body was feeling and this felt so right!

It took just five minutes to
walk home and as soon as I opened the door Mack pulled me towards him as he
pushed the door closed with his foot.  His lips found mine and I felt that
drugged feeling return to my body.  My legs went weak from the pleasure I was
feeling as his hands pushed down my leggings and my stomach filled with
anticipation.

 “I wanted to be doing this
from the moment I saw you.”  Mack was murmuring in my ear as he continued to
undress me and I soon found myself naked in front of him.

“You are even more beautiful
with your clothes off!”  And what I saw on his face made me forget my usual
insecurities at being naked.

“You can quit the compliments
now Mack, I’m a sure thing!”  And I grinned at him as he pulled me forcefully
back to him.

“I’m going to give you a
night to remember my sexy nymph, starting with kissing you all over.  So if you
have any objections you better tell me now.” 

I started to giggle as his
hands cupped my ass pulling me to him and I felt his warm breath on my face, “None
from this corner!” 

  He effortlessly lifted me up
onto the hall table, and then dropped to his knees in front of me as he pulled
my legs apart.  I felt him draw me towards him and then his lips found my clit
and I felt a bolt go through me.  He teased and sucked it in ways I had only
dreamt about and the waves of pleasure building in the pit of my stomach made
me grab his hair as if I was about to fall.

My body arched up at the
pleasure his fingers where giving me; it felt like every nerve was alive with
sexual energy and I knew my orgasm was near.  I could feel the waves getting
stronger and when Mack drew a nipple into his mouth and started to suck the
lights went off.  Never in my wildest dreams had I believed sex could be this
good.         

Mack lifted me up and carried
me through the rooms looking for the bedroom.  When he found my room he laid me
on the bed and started to kiss me and I could feel my body waking up all over
again.

I wanted to give him pleasure
like he had just gave me.  I rolled him over and straddled him and undid his
belt.  His hands reached up to play with my breasts and his eyes sparkled with
appreciation that made me feel desirable and brave.

I eased his trousers and
boxers down and dropped my mouth onto his erect cock and was rewarded by his
sharp intake of breath.  I started to suck and lick and slowly draw more and
more of him into me. 

I was so lost in the moment
that I didn’t feel Mack’s hands on me until he had flipped me on to my back. 
He deftly put a condom on before he pushed my legs apart and with his eyes
firmly locked on mine, entered and started to gently move inside me.  

“I couldn’t take anymore;
that felt so good Jessie!” 

His eyes were full of desire
and were talking to me in a language of their own; I felt one hundred per cent
woman and totally sexy!

“Deeper,” I moaned as I felt
those waves starting to build again and he obeyed by driving himself in deeper
and harder.  All the while keeping his eyes on mine. 

Mack made me feel free and desirable
as I never had before and just as I was about to come he dropped his mouth on
mine and kissed me with abandon while weaving both his hands through mine above
my head.  Then with a few more deep strokes I felt him join me in waves of
pleasure.

Mack rolled off me and drew
me into his arms.  I could hear his heart thudding through his chest and the
rhythmic sound of it made me feel safe and sleepy.  I guess this is the post
coital moment that they talk about in books where the world seems all rosy and wonderful. 
I smiled to myself as I drifted off to sleep as it really was something.

Mack

I woke up to the sun
streaming in through the bedroom window and looked down to see Jess still
curled up fast asleep in my arms.  She looked angelic in sleep with her curls
cascading around her face and shoulders.  Her creamy skin accentuated her rosy
red lips and made me want to kiss her awake and start up where we had left off
last night.

I was feeling like a right
bastard though as I knew more about her that she knew about me. 

Before I left Scotland on the
boy’s tour, Weka Recordings in New Zealand had sent me a list of possible
singers to work with.  I had gone through the various demo tapes and had been
taken with Jess and Cam straight away.  But I had been concerned by the notes
that accompanied the demos that said Jess’s latest work had been terrible and
that they thought there were personal issues behind it.  They had recommended
we go with a different crew so I had flown over a few days early to look into
the matter.

I had a vested interest in
the band as the lead singer was also my sister Alina’s kid.  I had known him
since he was a wee bairn and loved him like a brother so I wanted to get this
right.  Normally I didn’t get involved in the day to day running of bands but
had made an exception for Lance.  Also Alina wouldn’t agree to them signing
with us unless I was their personal manger while on tour.  She was a tough
cookie when it came to her children so I had known better than to ague.

When I arrived in Auckland I
had tracked down Cam whom I clicked with instantly.  He was easy going and his
voice had a velvety tone that harmonized beautifully with Jess’s.  I knew they
would be perfect for High Land Boys and would give their single the depth and
texture I was looking for. 

Cam had told me Jess was up
north at her parent’s holiday house and would be back on Sunday for the Monday
auditions. 

I decided on the spur of the
moment to head up there to see if I could engineer a meeting so I could gauge
where she was at prior to the auditions.

I had been staying up at the
local pub at Matapouri hoping she would come in and dine and was rewarded on
Friday night when she turned up.  I knew what she looked like from the demo
tape but in person she was so much more. 

Her face was at odds with her
body that oozed sex appeal which was due in part to the way she dressed.  She
had a thorough appreciation of how to accentuate her assets while not looking
like a tramp.  

She had on a pair of
patterned leggings with calf high boots that made her legs shapely and enticing
and an oversized sweater that dropped off one shoulder and clung to her breasts
in way that left you in no doubt of their generous proportions.  I had always
been a tits and ass man and hers where just how I liked them!  I hated the
skinny look that seemed popular these days; for me there had to be something to
grab and she sure was offering plenty of that!

Her face was beautiful in a
less obvious way.  Her curls framed a heart shaped face with beautiful wide hazel
eyes and her mouth was wide and generous and quick to smile.  Jessie didn’t
seem to have any idea of the effect she had on the opposite sex and this
unaffected charm made me want to get to know her better.  Also I wanted to know
what was causing the sadness behind her smile as it was stopping her eyes
lighting up as they had on the tape I had watched.

Soon as Mara had completed
the introductions my one tracked mind was thinking about how much it wanted to
make love to her while the business half of me was telling me not to fuck this
up.  I was here on business to talk to Jess about the auditions and to
ascertain whether she thought she was up to it.  I had this crazy notion that
maybe talking to me might help.

During my years on the road I
had helped many artists and had found I had a way of getting into their heads;
helping them sort out what was holding them back. 

I don’t know when I had
selfishly decided not to tell Jess; actually it wasn’t that I had decided not
to tell her but more that I had got caught up in the moment and by the time I
had come to my senses it was too late.  Things had gone past the obvious point
of disclosure and we had had sex.  I could have kicked myself for breaking my
cardinal rule of not drinking on the job.

Sex with Jessie had been
incredible though.  She was so responsive and carefree and there was nothing
measured or rehearsed about her.  It was refreshing to meet a woman who
genuinely loved sex as there was nothing as demoralizing as making love to a
woman who finds it a chore. 

I was totally enamoured with
her and just wanted this day before the real world descended once more.  I knew
I was taking a risk but the magic of this place had done a number on me and I
didn’t want the fantasy to end just yet.

I looked down as I felt
Jessie start to stir and was glad to see her lips move into her trade mark
smile.  I had been a little concerned she may have regretted last night seeing
as how we had just met as girls seem to have different rules about that sort of
thing.  So you can never tell how it’s going to pan out the next morning.

“Thank goodness you’re awake;
I thought my arm was going to drop off.”  I rolled her onto her back so I could
see her better and placed a kiss on her wide smile and was pleased when her
arms came around my neck and she kissed me enthusiastically back.
