“How about you, Tara?” Helen said putting her on the spot.
“I just love having such great people to be with and enjoy these last few days of our school break.”
Everyone said, “awwwww.”
“What about you, honey?” Helen said to me.
“Just relaxing … and not having do anything or go anywhere I don’t want to.” I said, and fucking the delightful Tara, I added in my thoughts.
“What about you Mrs. B___?” Tara asked.
“Being exposed to nature, breathing the clean air, seeing all the magnificent tress, hearing the birds … I just love it here. I wish I could be here always.” Helen replied somewhat rhapsodically.
“With the bears?” Tara added, and we all laughed.
The rest of the evening passed uneventfully. Eventually, Amy and Emily were ready to head down to their tent.
“You coming Tara?” Amy asked.
“Well … ah … ah I was sort of ah … hoping I could sleep in the camper again … that is, if it’s OK with your folks.” Tara directed the last part to Helen and me.
Helen told Tara that it was fine if that’s what she wanted to do. Amy let out a big dramatic sigh and said, “whatever.”
Helen announced she was ready for bed too. “You coming too, honey?”
“No dear, I’m going to sit and enjoy the fire a bit longer.”
Tara and I sat and talked awhile longer. I asked her about school and what she planned on doing after graduating in the spring. Things a guy my age would normally talk about with his daughter’s college roommate. All the time, what I really wanted to do was go over to her and wrap my arms around Tara’s perfect body and kiss her passionately.
“Would you care for a glass of wine?” I asked after awhile.
“Sure.”
“Red or white.”
“Red would be nice.”
I was drinking the white, so I opened a new bottle for Tara. We continued to talk for while longer. Tara quickly consumed several glasses of wine and was clearly getting a bit tipsy. I was fearful that the wine might make her lose her inhibitions — heaven knew she had very little to lose. So I announced I was ready to retire for the night.
“Me too.” Tara said with a little giggle. As she spoke she jumped up and walked over next to me, bent down, bit my earlobe and whispered, “I’ll be with you soon, baby.”
“Good night, Mr. B___.” She said in a normal speaking voice.
I took care of the fire, put the cooler, and whatever food stuff was left out, back in the SUV. There really were bears in those woods.
I stepped up into the trailer and saw Tara standing by her bed just getting ready to climb in. I could just make out in the darkness that at least she wasn’t wearing the baby doll nightie. Instead, she’d chosen to sleep in just her panties — not even a top. She looked incredibly alluring and I desperately wanted to ravish her body once more. Of course, I knew Helen would be awake in an instant this early in the evening.
I striped to my underwear and crawled in beside Helen.
“Goodnight Mr. B___.” I heard Tara whisper.
“Goodnight Tara.”
I zipped up my bag and felt Helen turn over towards me. She gave me a kiss and told me goodnight, then, as usual, rolled back to her side of the bed and fell back asleep.
