Instinctively, I rose, taking her hands in mine and leading her away from the crowd toward a private part of the park. Laying her down with me on the soft grass, we entangled ourselves in passionate kisses and gentle caresses. As the night sky shifted from a deep blue to indigo, I forgot about all of my worries and fears. We were just Zorak and Vanessa, two souls looking for adventure and ecstatic pleasure in each other’s arms.

“Vanessa,” I breathed, taking in every inch of her as my hands roamed every curve, every inch, every subtle nuance. “This is where we both belong.” My voice trailed off as I claimed her mouth with my own once more, causing a muffled cry of pleasure to escape her mouth into mine.

Fearing that I might lose control, I pulled away slightly, wanting to honor her request to take things slowly. She protested, grabbing my shoulders and pulling me to her again, wrapping her legs around my waist and making me want to forget all of my prior promises. My pants strained in protest as I rubbed seductively against her, causing her to writhe in ecstasy as she whispered my name with reverence.

My hands were drawn to her like magnets, my fingers tracing the soft curves of her body as she gasped with pleasure. She bit her lip, eyes closed in delight, and I could feel every ounce of her craving for me. Our kiss deepened as I slowly unbuttoned her dress, uncovering layer upon layer of creamy skin that begged to be touched.

I ran my hands up and down her body, exploring every inch as our mouths moved together in perfect harmony. The warmth of her body and intensity of our connection made it hard to stay focused. All I wanted was to make love to this beautiful woman until the morning light.

Vanessa seemed to sense my inner struggle and pulled away from me slightly, looking into my eyes with an expression of need and desire. “Don’t think, Zorak. Just feel......”

In response, I captured her lips with mine again in a passionate kiss, answering resoundingly yes without saying a word. As our tongues entwined, all of my hesitations and doubts melted away, replaced by the purest of desire and longing. I ran my hands through her hair and pulled her towards me as we embraced, deepening our kiss. Our bodies moved together in perfect synchronization as we explored every inch of each other with our hands, lips, and tongues.

Each caress sent sparks of pleasure all over my body as we continued to explore the depths of our passion for each other with no reservations or restraints.

Pulling away from Vanessa was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but I groaned as I pulled her into a tight embrace, communicating my need for her while simultaneously stopping our tryst.

“Zorak, I want this,” Vanessa breathed against my neck, igniting a fresh wave of desire coursing through my veins.

“This isn’t the right place or the right time, my darling,” I said, kissing her tenderly on the forehead.

I rose from the grass, taking her hands and helping her to stand. “Let’s go somewhere special instead,” I said, a devilish grin appearing on my face. “Away from here, where we can truly share in each other’s company.”

My heart raced as Vanessa smiled up at me, her eyes sparkling even more than the stars above us. She moved closer to me, pressing her body against mine as she nodded, confirming that this was indeed what she wanted.

We stayed like that for a few moments longer before we donned our clothes, I took Vanessa’s hand, and we started walking towards the parking lot. Glancing over my shoulder, I could see her blushing in anticipation of our upcoming journey together. I couldn’t help but smile as I eagerly looked forward to discovering what surprises awaited us – wherever we went.

Chapter 16

Vanessa

I could hardly believe I’d agreed to this. A vacation, with Zorak of all people! And not just any vacation – an adventure getaway to Xetor 5, known for its extreme sports and breathtaking natural wonders. I must have been out of my mind.

Yet there I was, packing my suitcase as Zoe flitted around my bedroom, helping me choose what to bring.

“You’ll need your swimsuit, of course,” she said, holding up my modest blue one-piece. “But how about this little number too, just in case?”

Zoe grinned and tossed a tiny red bikini onto the bed. I felt myself blushing. Did she really think I’d need that on a trip with Zorak? He and I had been cautiously circling around something more than friendship, but we were far from the point of skimpy lingerie!

Still, I packed it, along with shorts, tank tops, and a few sundresses for the warm climate. Zoe insisted I include heels and a little black dress too. “For dinners out!” she argued. I relented, knowing one dress wouldn’t take up much room.

The day of the trip, I was a bundle of nerves as the transport ship lifted off. Zorak seemed perfectly at ease, excitedly telling me about the cliff diving, moonlight hikes, and more adventurous activities he had planned. My stomach swooped. I’d always played it safe, but Zorak was pushing me outside my comfort zone. Strangely, instead of my usual anxiety, I felt a thrill of anticipation.

After checking into our plush resort, Zorak immediately wanted to go cliff diving. The cliffs were staggering - 350 feet high overlooking an emerald lagoon. Zorak didn’t hesitate, executed a perfect swan dive into the crystal waters below. I stared in awe, my heart hammering. No way could I do this!

Sensing my fear, Zorak patiently talked me through it, promising to jump with me. I took a deep breath and we leapt, my scream mingling with his exuberant shout. The free fall was terrifying and euphoric. We hit the water safely. Adrenaline pumping, I wanted to go again.

The next day, we hiked up a mountain to watch the twin suns set. The violet sky was unlike anything I’d seen on my urban home planet. Reaching the peak left me breathless but accomplished. Zorak’s hand brushed mine and I didn’t pull away.

I was having so much fun with Zorak that I made an impulsive decision - I handed off the legal brief I had brought to work on to a colleague back home. No need to interrupt this adventure with dry paperwork. Zorak suggested dinner that evening to celebrate my time off.

I chose the little black dress for the occasion, hoping it might catch his eye. Zorak looked sharp in a sports coat. We took a shuttle into town and I was surprised when we met another man around Zorak’s age at the restaurant entrance.

“Vanessa, meet my friend Jax. He lives here year round as an extreme sports coach. I thought it would be nice for you two to meet.”

My stomach sank slightly that we wouldn’t be dining alone, but Jax seemed friendly enough. The restaurant was intimate, just a dozen tables lit by flickering candles. We ordered local wine and chatted.

I was impressed by Jax’s adventurous lifestyle and passion. He and Zorak traded stories of daring exploits - edgewalking, wingsuit flying, zero-G martial arts. Laughing and relaxed, I joined in with my tamer tales of attempted surfing and bungee jumping. Still a thrill seeker compared to my usual life.
