First Class Voyage

DAY 4 – COZUMEL, MEXICO

Mark and Katy had been to Cozumel a few times in the last three years. It was one of the places Mark loved to scuba dive and the beaches were beautiful for Katy to lay on while sipping a pina colada and that is what they were planning on doing for their one day stop.

As she slipped her bikini on, Mark sat on the bed and watched.

“Your body is amazing,” he grinned as he slid his hand up her leg.

“Thank you,” she smiled. “I aim to please.”

“Yes you do,” Mark growled as he sat up on his knees and pulled her to him. His lips found Katy’s and she immediately succumbed to his tongue. Her belly did little flips as it darted in and out of her mouth.

“We can be a few minutes late,” she giggled.

Mark pulled her down to the bed and undid the tie at her back and her bikini flipped off her body.

“Why can’t all your clothes be this easy,” he chuckled.

Katy ran her fingers through his hair and pulled him back to her mouth. She kissed him until he was breathless and he rolled over onto his back, pulling Katy over with him. She wriggled out of the bottoms to her swim suit and pulled her knees up, straddling his hips.

“Are you ready for me?” she purred.

“Always,” Mark grinned as she slid down onto him.

Down and down she slid ‘til she was fully engulfed with his length. Moving together, they slowly built their rhythm, up and down, around and around, until Katy was desperate for relief.

“Come baby,” he whispered.

Mark grabbed her hips and thrusted into her hard and waited. Katy ground her body into his and then threw her head back as her orgasm ripped through her body. Her fingers dug into his arms as she cried out his name and Mark pushed into her once more and released. With hearts racing and limbs limp, they held each other until they could breathe.

After several minutes Mark swatted Katy’s ass and kissed her forehead.

“Let’s go to the beach,” he grinned.

Patty had kept both children with her for the night, giving Matt and Janie a night without interruption. Janie awoke with her head on Matt’s bicep and his hand on her hip. It was the way they seemed to always wake up. She rolled back to Matt and saw him watching her.

“Morning,” she smiled.

“Morning,” he grinned and kissed her. “Do you remember the last time we made love in the morning?”

Janie chuckled, “Probably before Ella was born.”

“Well maybe not that long ago, but it’s been a while.”

Janie rolled over and snuggled into his side. They had made love slowly before they fell asleep in each other’s arms, something that didn’t happen very often now they were parents of young children. They had taken advantage of Patty’s kind offer and cherished the moment.

“What time is it?” Janie yawned.

“It’s still early.” Matt played with Janie’s hair and kissed her forehead.

“Mmmm,” she smiled. “Then we have a little time?”

Matt chuckled and rolled over on top of her.

“Yes, we do,” he grinned, and kissed her.

It didn’t take very long before their hands were all over each other and passion had been ignited. Janie held him firmly in her hand and squeezed.

“Need something?” she teased.

“You know it!” he growled.

“Come and get it then,” she purred.

Matt threw back the sheet and sat back on his knees.

“You are so beautiful,” he whispered as he worshipped his gloriously naked wife.

Janie immediately covered her stomach with her hands and dropped her eyelids.

“Oh, no you don’t,” Matt scolded. “You ARE beautiful. There is nobody else I would rather think about, or look at, or kiss,” he said as he bent and kissed her lips lovingly. “You are it, my sweet Janie. The one and only and I love your stomach.”

Matt lifted each of her hands and bent and kissed her belly button. Then he traced a faint stretch mark with his tongue and kissed her skin again.

“These tell me how much you love me,” he whispered. “How much you love Adam and Tyler and Ella and Christopher. These say you are a woman…my woman.” He kissed her belly again.

Janie managed a weak smile as she ran her fingers through his thick dark hair lying on her tummy.

“I love you,” she whispered.

Matt kissed his way back up her body, taking a moment to worship her breasts with his lips. As he kissed her neck, he murmured how much he loved her, how much he depended on her and how much he worshipped her.

“I love you with my heart, my mind, my body and my soul,” he whispered.

He entered her slowly, Janie’s body accepting him willingly. Their bodies melded perfectly into one, their hearts joined. He moved in and out leisurely at first, then building as their bodies yearned for more. Matt knew what would take his wife to climax and he moved with intent as he watched her eyes close and her orgasm take over. He held still, pushing into her as he felt her muscles contract around him and it sent him into bliss right along with her. He kissed her as their bodies celebrated their union in unison and then collapsed on her as she wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.

“Magnificent, as usual,” she panted.

“Only the best for my girl,” he grinned and rolled onto the bed.

They laid there for a few seconds, breathless and satiated, until a faint noise caught their attention. And then came a knock.

“Mama…Daddy!”

Another knock.

“Let L’Ella in…pease?”

Matt jumped from the bed after one more kiss and grabbed his pajama bottoms. He threw Janie her robe and slipped his pants on and walked to the door. L’Ella was waiting to say good morning.

The family was headed in all different directions for their day in Cozumel. Mark and Matt were taking their three boys, Adam, Tyler and Derek, scuba diving. The boys had gone to ‘scuba school’ just so they could go with their step-fathers. Janie and Katy were spending the day on the beach and doing some shopping.

The ladies left their men on the pier with their boat and guides and they headed off to the white sand and crystal blue water. Towels in hand, they selected their chaises and spread out for the morning of relaxing. A waiter immediately took their drink orders and Katy stripped down to her red bikini. Janie watched with a twinge of envy.

“You make me look like a beached whale,” she muttered as Katy began applying some suntan lotion on her legs.

“Nonsense!” Katy replied. “You just had a baby, for heaven’s sake!”

“Eight weeks ago, and I haven’t lost any of the fifteen pounds that didn’t come off when Christopher was born.”

Katy patted Janie’s hand and tilted her head, smiling at her lifelong friend.

“Janie, give it time. You’ll lose it. But while you’re thinking about those extra fifteen pounds, just remember your boobs. They are fantastic right now!” she laughed.

“True,” Janie chuckled. “They’ve never looked better. And Matt certainly enjoys them!”

The women laughed as the waiter brought their colorful drinks with little umbrellas poking from the top.

The unmarried brothers, Paul, David, Tim and Ben, were spending the day together exploring the island on an ATV excursion with twelve others from the ship. Paul was looking forward to spending time with his brothers. It had been so long since they had just hung out for the day. During his time off over the past ten years, he had spent the majority of it with his parents because if he died on a mission he wanted them to know that they had been the most important people in his life and that he loved them. Not that he had excluded his brothers. Not at all. But a day like today was a welcome change and he was very much looking forward to it.

They rode through the jungle, up hills and over sand dunes. They played on the beach and went snorkeling in the clear warm water. They had lunch and told jokes. He had missed his brothers, his friends. He didn’t want to miss them anymore.

*****

Peter took Andrew and Rory golfing at the Cozumel Country Club. It wasn’t a world-class course but it was good. Peter had brought his clubs with him to golf at every chance he had. Andrew had been with his dad many, many times over the years but this was Rory’s first time. He was an attorney that had spent the last several years building his practice with his partner, a good friend he had met in law school back in Washington. Now they had several associates working for them and Rory felt that he could finally scale back his work hours to take a vacation every now and then, and of course, start their family.

“I think every child should have a mother,” Peter had said. “But when you think about what some children are subjected to, two fathers can’t be all bad.”

Andrew had said that was his dad’s way of giving his approval of them adopting a baby. Rory needed that approval, as his own parents had all but disowned him when he ‘came out’ after high school. He came from a religious family that preached tolerance but didn’t actually practice it. So when the Lathem’s had welcomed him to their family with open arms fourteen years ago, their acceptance and approval became very important to him. He had told Andrew how very lucky he was to have a family like that. Not every gay man was that fortunate.

So golf with Peter was a highlight for Rory, even though he wasn’t very good. A day with his husband and father-in-law golfing was going to be a great day.

*****

Maureen and Patty walked down the pier to the port each pushing a stroller. When Maureen had overheard Janie’s plans to leave the children with their grandmother for the day, Maureen had immediately offered to help. Patty graciously accepted and the two women decided just to stroll around the port for a little while, stocking up on souvenirs and having lunch.

“This will be a nice way to spend a couple of hours,” Maureen chatted as they headed down the massive concrete pier towards the myriad of shops and restaurants.

“I thought the children, well, Ella, would like to go for a ride,” smiled Patty.

Ella was indeed having a great time sitting in the stroller, hat and sunglasses on, sitting up straight watching the multitudes of people all around them and the waves rolling onto the beach. Christopher was sound asleep, just having been fed, in an infant drunken state.

The two grandmothers strolled through the shops, purchasing magnets and postcards. Patty bought t-shirts for her other grandchildren, her daughter Elizabeth’s children, who lived in Atlanta.

“You’re very lucky,” Maureen smiled as Patty took her bag of purchases and they left the small store.

“Why is that?”

“You are a grandmother with lots of grandchildren.”

“Eight,” Patty smiled. “Well, actually nine if you count Derek. And four each for Janie and Elizabeth. Lilly isn’t married yet and I am not sure she ever will be. She is married to her job and career.”

Maureen snorted. “I understand that. I didn’t think Matt would ever settle down. But then Janie arrived and…well, we are just thrilled.”

Patty was glad that the Lathem’s had been so welcoming to her daughter.

“And Mark has Katy too,” Patty added.

“Oh yes. But…”

Patty raised her eyebrows and looked at Maureen. “But?”

“Well,” began Maureen, “It would just be so nice if they would just get married! I have tried giving hints, some not so subtle. But according to Mark, Katy just won’t budge.”

“Katy is a head-strong girl and she has been through an awful lot.”

“I know,” Maureen sighed. “I love her dearly. I just want them to make it official.”

“In their time,” Patty smiled. “In their own time.”

*****

The plan was they would all meet up for dinner to share the highlights of their day. So, once again, they all arrived at the dining room and announced they needed a table for seventeen. Matt held the booster seat for Ella and Christopher was asleep in his stroller. The staff ran around for several minutes making accommodations for the group and they were seated at the back of the restaurant, watching the sun set out of the windows.

Peter ordered the wine bottles and the food starting arriving and the conversation was lively. The three younger men had lots to share about their first scuba diving trip and Matt and Mark sat back looking like the proud fathers that they were.

Rory was thrilled to announce that Peter had only trounced him in their round of golf by thirty-seven points. The whole family laughed and cheered, both for the winner and the loser.

The four brothers had an excellent day zipping around the island on the ATV’s and Tim even had gotten a date out of it for later that evening.

The two matriarchs sat back and watched their families with such pride and love. How could they be any more blessed?
