73. Honeymoon

Nicole sighed in relief as she dropped all of their bags on the bedroom floor of the cabin.

“Baby, you didn’t have to carry everything. I could’ve helped,” Waverly said while pressing her lips together, trying not to laugh at Nicole’s shaky arms.

“Nonsense. I wanted to carry all the bags for my wife.” She grinned at the term, and Waverly did the same.

“Well you could’ve at least gotten them in multiple trips, instead of just one.”

“I’m too lazy to walk that much.”

“I’m just saying, it looked kind of heavy.” Waverly shrugged and unzipped her suitcase to hang up her clothes.

“Heavy? Pfft,” Nicole swatted her hand across the air. “It was like carrying feathers.” She held up her arms and flexed them, earning a chuckle from Waverly.

“Your arms are shaking.”

Nicole pursed her lips as she folded her arms across her chest. “Okay, so maybe the bags were a little heavy.”

“My poor baby,” Waverly replied in a sweet tone as she massaged the redhead’s biceps. “I hope your arms aren’t too tired for some post-wedding activities.” She gave Nicole a knowing look as the corners of her mouth tugged up slightly.

“If you mean what I think you mean, then they’re never too tired.”

“Good.” Waverly grabbed her small toiletry bag. “I’m going to get ready for bed.”

“Wait, me too.” Nicole grabbed her toothbrush and stood at the sink beside Waverly as they brushed their teeth together, smiling as they looked at each other in the mirror. 

It wasn’t like they’d never gotten ready for bed together before, but now that they were married, it felt different. It felt much more domestic. When Nicole had finished her routine, she left to get everything ready as Waverly finished washing her face. 

When Waverly was done, she walked out of the bathroom to find Nicole lying in bed underneath the covers, shirtless and with her hands clasped behind her head. “I guess we’re skipping the clothes removal part.” She chuckled as she pulled her top off over her head.

“I just figured we’d skip straight to the naked stuff.”

Waverly grinned as she slid underneath the covers and faced Nicole, wrapping her arms around her new wife and pulling her into a kiss. It only took a few seconds for things to become heated as Waverly wrapped a leg around Nicole’s hips, and she almost immediately realized that Nicole was wearing the strap-on. She pulled back with a smirk on her face and said in a seductive tone, “You’re already hard for me,” Before giving a small wink.

“Well can you blame me? My wife is sexy as hell.” Nicole slid her hand down Waverly’s body and dipped a finger between her folds, and Waverly gasped in response. Nicole smiled in amusement as Waverly began to slowly rock her hips, clearly desperate for more. “What do you want me to do to you?” Nicole whispered.

“Everything.”

Nicole smiled as she crawled down the covers, trailing soft kisses down Waverly’s body until she felt coarse curls. She settled between Waverly’s legs and gently spread them apart before dipping her head down and tasting her.

“Shit,” Waverly whispered as she exhaled. She closed her eyes and relaxed against the mattress as she dropped her hands down to rest on Nicole’s head underneath the covers. 

Nicole flicked her tongue across Waverly’s bud a few times before moving it in quick circles while massaging her thighs with her hands. She moved her thumbs in slow circles on the Waverly’s inner thighs, and smiled when she felt the brunette squirming. Next thing she knew, Waverly was grabbing at her hair as the loud moans tumbled from her lips, and Nicole let her arousal drip all over her tongue before crawling back up her body with a huge smile on her face. She shoved her tongue inside Waverly’s mouth, forcing her to taste herself, and the brunette let out a small moan at the unexpected action. 

Waverly wrapped her arms around Nicole’s neck and desperately deepened the kiss before flipping them over so that she was straddling Nicole’s thighs. With a devilish smirk, she placed a condom over the dildo before squirting a decent amount of lube into her hands and rubbing it all over the shaft, being sure to put plenty of pressure against Nicole’s center every time her hand went down. She was amused by the way Nicole’s hips slightly jerked each time she did so. Without wasting anymore time, Waverly lifted herself up and lined the cock up with her entrance before slowly dropping down. Her eyes fluttered shut while Nicole’s eyes were watching attentively.

Nicole gazed at her gorgeous wife bouncing on her cock, and she reached her hands out to play with her breasts. She rolled the brunette’s nipples between her fingers, earning a moan from her.

“I’m already so close,” Waverly whined as she picked up her pace a little.

“Are you gonna come again for me baby?”

“Mhm,” Waverly hummed as she rolled her lips between her teeth, and dropped her hand down between her legs to rub her clit. 

Nicole grabbed onto Waverly’s hips and began to thrust in rhythms, going in deeper and harder, and Waverly moved her hand faster before placing her free hand down on Nicole’s abdomen to brace herself.

“Nicole!” She cried out as she came, and she dropped down onto the redhead, muscles tired and sore from all the work she’d just done.

Nicole held Waverly in her arms and brushed her fingers through the brunette’s hair as she looked up at the ceiling with a peaceful smile on her face. “I can’t believe we’re married. You’re my wife.”

Waverly lifted her head and looked at Nicole as she smiled. “You’re my wife.”

A small laugh left Nicole’s lips. “Are you excited for our honeymoon?”

“Three days of romance in this secluded little cabin and four days at the beach? Absolutely.”

“Me too, baby.” Nicole said with a smile as she closed her eyes.

“Hey, don’t fall asleep yet. It’s my turn to top you.” Waverly bounced her eyebrows as she pulled the harness down Nicole’s legs and dipped a finger inside of her.

Nicole closed her eyes, lips slightly parted as she breathed, and relaxed against the pillow as Waverly fingered her. The brunette added a second finger, and Nicole let out a small gasp. When Waverly dropped down to wrap her lips around her clit, Nicole whimpered and grabbed at the edges of the pillow. 

“Fuck, Waves,” Nicole rasped before biting down on her lower lip.

With a cocky smile, Waverly lifted her head to look at the redhead as she continued to pump her fingers. “You like that baby?”

“Mhm.” Nicole vigorously nodded her head.

“How about this?” Waverly gave one gentle swipe of her tongue across Nicole’s clit, and grinned in amusement at the way Nicole practically lost it.

“Yes, yes I really like that. Please do it more.”

“Hmm, maybe…” She dropped down to kiss Nicole’s pubic bone, right above where the redhead actually wanted Waverly’s mouth. “If you ask nicely.”

“Please?” Nicole whined as she writhed around in desperation.

“Aww, baby,” Waverly chuckled. “Do you want to come?”

Nicole nodded, and Waverly dropped her head down and sucked on Nicole’s clit while swiping her tongue across it, until she felt Nicole’s walls pulsing around her fingers as the sounds of her cries of pleasure hit her ears. She pulled her fingers out and sucked them dry before placing a few kisses on Nicole’s thighs. “I love these legs,” she whispered as she placed one last kiss before settling down beside her wife.

“I love you,” Nicole smiled sleepily.

“I love you too.” Waverly gave her one last kiss before laying her head down on Nicole’s chest. “Now go to sleep. We need to be well rested for our hike tomorrow.”

A few days later

It was their first day at the beach, and Waverly laid out on her towel, face down with her cheek resting on her arms while Nicole laid beside her on her back. The sun was high and there were barely any clouds, which was fine with Waverly because she was trying to get a tan. Nicole was too, but it wasn’t working out nearly as well.

“Ugh, I think I’m already burning.” Nicole sighed as she sat up and grabbed the bottle of sunscreen to reapply.

Waverly lifted her head slightly. “Even with it being SPF 100?”

“Apparently.” After squeezing a good amount of sunscreen, Nicole rubbed her hands all over her legs, arms, chest, stomach, and face.

“Here, I’ll get your back.” Waverly pushed herself up off of her towel and crawled over to sit behind Nicole. 

As she applied the cream to Nicole’s back and neck, she noticed the redhead’s attention ahead of her. Waverly followed her line of sight and noticed an extremely fit woman running along the shoreline. She looked at Nicole slowly turning her head as her eyes unblinkingly followed the woman.

“Are you seriously checking out that woman?” Waverly asked accusatorially as she raised an eyebrow.

Nicole quickly looked away and furrowed her brow. “What? No. What woman?” The way she fumbled with her words along with the look of slight nervousness on her face said otherwise.

Waverly glared at Nicole for a few seconds, before breaking out into laugher. “Baby I’m just messing with you. I’m not that insecure.” Waverly squeezed some more sunscreen into her hands and rubbed Nicole’s shoulders. “Plus, she was pretty hot.”

“Right?” Nicole agreed, but turned around with a smirk on her face. “But not nearly as hot as you.”

The corners of Waverly’s mouth slightly curved up, and she rolled her lips between her teeth to hide her smile while focusing her eyes on her hands massaging the redhead’s skin. “You’re just saying that because you’re married to me.”

“And why do you think I married you?” Nicole bobbed her eyebrows. 

“Because of my amazing personality?”

“Okay, well that too I guess…” Nicole trailed off before looking at Waverly with a small smile, indicating that she was teasing her.

“Well I just married you for the sex.” Waverly shrugged as she moved back over to her own towel.

“Lies. We were doing that before we got married.”

Waverly shrugged while looked away out at the ocean, and Nicole shook her head as she gave a breathy laugh. 

“Are you ready to get into the water yet? I think I’ve tanned enough.” Waverly said while inspecting her bronzed arms and legs, coming to a conclusion of satisfaction.

“Well at least one of us has.” Nicole rolled her eyes. “But sure. I’ll race ya.”

“Ha! You’d lose that ra—”

“Go!” Nicole jumped up from her towel and sprinted towards the water, giving Waverly only a couple of seconds to fully comprehend what was going on.

“Hey! That’s not fair!” Waverly shouted as she got up and ran as quickly as she could.

Waverly grinned when she reached Nicole in the water, and she immediately lunged to jump on her back. Both of them screamed as they fell underneath the water, and began laughing when they re-emerged.

“That was mean!” Nicole was still smiling as she pushed her wet hair out of her face.

A devilish grin slowly spread across Waverly’s face. “Not as mean as this!” She placed her hands on Nicole’s shoulders and dunked her under the water again, giggling when Nicole grabbed her legs and pulled her down with her.

The couple continued to laugh as they splashed water on each other, until they found themselves in each other’s arms, still chuckling as they looked at each other.

“You know I won, right?” Nicole stated as she floated in the water, hugging Waverly’s waist while the brunette had her arms wrapped around Nicole’s shoulders.

“You’re disqualified, so I actually won.” 

“How am I disqualified?”

“You cheated.” Waverly shrugged. “Therefore, I win by default.” 

Nicole shook her head. “Why don’t we just agree to disagree.”

Just as they had leaned in for a kiss, a couple of guys walked through the water near them. “Hey ladies!”

Nicole and Waverly pulled out of the kiss to see a couple of guys who looked like Abercrombie & Fitch models, and Nicole immediately groaned.

“Can we help you?” Nicole asked.

“Sorry to interrupt,” one of the guys answered, “But we just wanted to say hey and introduce ourselves.”

Nicole looked at Waverly before looking back at the two men with narrowed eyes. “Look, we’re just trying to enjoy our honeymoon, so whatever it is that you want us to do to fulfill your straight male fantasy ain’t gonna happen. So just forget it.”

The men looked at each other as they evidently tried to hold back their laughter. “Actually, we’re gay. We don’t know a whole lot of queer people where we’re from, so we just thought we’d come up and say hi.”

Nicole’s face changed from very annoyed to extremely apologetic. “Oh. I’m so sorry! I really thought you were trying to get us to kiss or something.”

“Told ya your gaydar has been off lately,” Waverly whispered in amusement, and Nicole looked at her with a downward crease of her eyebrows.

“Do straight men really do that?” The other guy, who was also Middle Eastern but with much longer hair than his boyfriend, asked in surprise.

“Yep.” The frustration in Nicole’s voice indicated that it was something that happened way too often.

“Wow, that’s horrible.” He shook his head. “Well, I promise we won’t ask you to do that.”

“We believe you,” Nicole chuckled. “I’m Nicole, and this is my wife, Waverly.”

“Hi,” Waverly waved with a chipper smile.

“I’m Samir,” The man with the longer hair replied.

“And I’m AJ.”

“It’s nice to meet you both,” Waverly said as she looked between them, and Nicole nodded in agreement with an equally warm smile.

“Well, we just wanted to say hi. We’ll let you get back to enjoying your honeymoon. It was nice to meet you, and congratulations.” Samir said as he and AJ waved goodbye before swimming out into the ocean. 

Waverly looked at Nicole and began laughing. “Well that was unexpected.”

“Yeah, tell me about it.” Nicole shook her head as she chuckled. “They were really nice though.”

“Yeah, they were.” Waverly looked out to where the couple was swimming further into the deep water. “I kind of want to go out there.”

“Into the deep part?” Nicole asked.

“Yeah.” Waverly swallowed thickly before looking at her redhead. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. 

“Well if you want to do it, then you should.” Nicole gave a reassuring smile.

“Will you come with me?”

Nicole looked out at the ocean. She’d never admit it to Waverly, but she was absolutely terrified of it. The shallow part they were in was fine, but any further made her sweat a little. “Yeah baby. I’ll go with you.”

“Okay.” Waverly beamed in excitement and took a deep breath as she began to swim out. 

As soon as Waverly had turned around, Nicole dropped her smile and clenched her jaw as she followed her wife. Her eyes shifted around, as she was on high alert of any sea creatures that she might come across, which was the main reason why the ocean scared her so much. As they got further out, Waverly started to give soft squeals, which was kind of cute mixed with her nervous laughter. Nicole kept her focus on the sound as it made her more relaxed. Being with Waverly in general always made her feel more relaxed.

When they got far out enough so that they couldn’t see the bottom anymore, Waverly turned around to face Nicole and grinned. “I can’t believe I’m actually doing this!” She moved her arms back and forth and kicked her legs, keeping herself afloat.

“Yeah, me neither.” Nicole looked around the water, visibly nervous.

“Are you scared?”

“Pffft me? No way.” Nicole replied, but Waverly clearly didn’t believe her. “Okay fine, maybe I’m a little scared.” Nicole continued to shift her gaze, keeping a cautious eye out. “Terrified, actually.”

“Me too.” Waverly replied. “But I’ve always wanted to conquer this fear, and now that I have, it feels so liberating. Like I can do anything.” She let out a heavy breath as she allowed the positive emotions to flow through her.

“So, does that mean we can go back to the shallow water now?”

Waverly let out a small laugh. “Yeah, let’s go back.”

Nicole and Waverly hung out at the beach for a couple more hours before going back to the small cottage to get ready for their dinner reservations. Waverly wore a short, baby blue skater dress while Nicole wore her favorite dark washed jeans with a short-sleeved button up. As soon as they checked in to the restaurant, they were promptly seated and ordered their drinks.

When Waverly looked around the restaurant, she recognized the guys sitting at the table near them. “Hey, it’s the guys from earlier.”

Nicole looked up from her menu and looked over to where Waverly was pointing her head. “Oh, yeah.” With a polite smile, she leaned over and said, “Are you guys stalking us or something?”

The couple looked up and laughed when they saw that it was Nicole and Waverly. 

“Hey, we were here first, so I think it’s you who’s stalking us,” AJ replied, and the four of them laughed.

“Have you guys been here long?” Nicole asked.

“Only about five minutes.”

Waverly and Nicole looked at each other, silently agreeing before looking back at the other couple.

 With a small shrug, Waverly asked, “Do you want to join us?”

Samir quickly shook his head. “Oh no, we wouldn’t want to impose.”

“You wouldn’t be imposing at all,” Nicole reassured.

The two men looked at each other and nodded. “Okay then.” Samir replied, and they stood up, taking their drinks with them over to Nicole and Waverly’s table.

They engaged in casual conversation until the waitress came back and took all four of their orders, along with their menus.

“So, you come to a seafood place and don’t order any seafood?” AJ teased as he lightly nudged Waverly in the arm beside him.

“Yeah, I guess that doesn’t happen too often.” Waverly chuckled. “I’m actually vegan.”

“Wow, that’s impressive. How long have you been vegan?”

“Nearly a year now,” Waverly replied as she looked up in thought. “Huh. I can’t believe it’s been that long.”

“That’s pretty awesome.” AJ nodded. “I don’t eat red meat, but I don’t think I have the will power to give up chicken, or seafood. I’m a seafood slut.” He laughed.

“He really is.” Samir nodded in agreement before looking at his boyfriend and shaking his head, feigning disappointment.

“I tried it for about a week, but couldn’t do it.” Nicole chuckled to herself. “I caved way too quickly.”

“Yeah, you really did.” Waverly laughed.

The conversation began to die down, and before the silence settled in too quickly Samir asked, “So, how long have you two been together?”

Nicole awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck as she already knew what their reaction was probably going to be. “Almost a year.”

“And you’re already married? Wow.” Samir shook his head. “That must be some true love right there.”

With a small smile, Waverly took Nicole’s hand and looked into her eyes from across the table. “It is.” Not wanting to linger too much in their affection, Waverly looked between Samir and AJ. “How about you two?”

Samir looked at AJ and blew out a short breath as he raised his eyebrows. “Well I guess it’s been…what, seven months now?”

“Yeah, seven months.” AJ nodded. “I can’t believe it’s even been that long.”

“Hey, time flies by quickly when you’re with someone who makes you happy.” Nicole shrugged.

Samir gave a large head nod and lifted his drink. “I’ll cheers to that.”

The four of them clinked glasses before taking a sip.

“And cheers to you two being married!” AJ added, and they clinked glasses again.

“Cheers to meeting new people on beach vacations!” Waverly grinned.

Nicole held her glass up and loudly added, “And cheers to being queer!”

“Hear, hear!” Samir and AJ shouted in unison, and the four of them proudly clinked their glasses together, not giving a damn about the attention they had received from the rest of the people in the quiet restaurant.

Later that night, after changing into something more comfortable, Waverly stepped outside of the bedroom balcony on the second floor and looked out over the empty beach illuminating under the moonlight. She crossed her arms over her chest, holding her robe closed as she closed her eyes and focused on the cool breeze hitting her skin. She tried not to think about how they were leaving in just a few short days. She loved home, and she missed her family and friends, but a selfish part of her wanted to stay here with Nicole forever. She wasn’t ready to go back to the real world yet.

When Nicole got out of the shower, she dried herself off with a towel and let her short, wet hair fall against the back of her neck as she slipped into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. She walked back into the bedroom expecting to see Waverly waiting for her in bed, but when she noticed the empty room, her eyebrows creased. 

“Waves?” She called out as she walked towards the bed and looked around the room. When she noticed that the door to the balcony was cracked open, she stepped towards it and peered outside, immediately spotting her wife. Her face relaxed and she quietly stepped outside and walked up to the brunette, tenderly sliding her hands around Waverly’s waist as she rested her chin on her shoulder. 

The corners of Waverly eyes crinkled when she felt the redhead’s grasp, and she placed her hands over Nicole’s clasped around the front of her torso. “Isn’t it beautiful?” Waverly’s voice was as soft as the atmosphere around them.

“It is, baby.” Nicole pressed her lips to Waverly’s cheek. “So beautiful.”

She continued to place soft kisses down Waverly’s neck as she ran her hands over her abdomen, until she found the knot in her robe. She began to untie it, letting the garment fall open and revealing Waverly’s bare body.

Waverly let out a small gasp when she felt Nicole’s hands sliding down the front of her body, hungrily touching every inch of her skin. “What are you doing?” She breathed as she snaked her hand behind her to the back of Nicole’s neck.

“Touching you.” Nicole whispered back into Waverly’s ear before sliding her fingers between her legs.

Waverly closed her eyes and relaxed her head back as she melted into Nicole’s touches. Her hand fell into a rhythmic pattern of clenching and unclenching around Nicole’s neck as Nicole dipped her fingers barely inside Waverly, teasing her.

“Nicole,” Waverly begged.

With a smile of amusement, Nicole slowly pushed her fingers all the way inside, giving the brunette exactly what she wanted.

After a couple minutes of Nicole working her magic deep inside Waverly’s core, Waverly turned around, craving to feel her wife as well. Nicole rose her eyebrows in curiosity until Waverly kissed her lips with soft, rhythmic motions, easing any of Nicole’s concerns. Waverly greedily shoved her hand down the front of Nicole’s shorts and dipped a finger inside her, letting her get used to it for a moment before adding a second one.

“Oh,” Nicole moaned breathily. She immediately returned her own fingers to Waverly’s center as they simultaneously touched each other while their lips and tongues continued to dance.

Nicole stepped closer to Waverly, pushing her to lean against the railing of the balcony as she wrapped her free hand around the short woman’s back. Waverly instinctively wrapped her hand around Nicole’s neck, and their bodies rocked against one another’s, until they were both coming undone together. Their moans and heavy breathing mixed together into their kisses, and when their orgasms had come to an end they opened their eyes and smiled, fingers still inside each other. 

With her lips curled up, Waverly slowly pulled her slightly curved fingers out, enjoying the way Nicole’s breath hitched, before bringing them up to her lips and sucking on them. Nicole did the same, and Waverly couldn’t hide her grin. Even though they were now married and had been together for almost a year, their relationship still felt new and exciting. 

“Does this count as sex on the beach?” Waverly chuckled. Her voice was quieter than usual, as she was still recovering.

“I think it counts as sex by the beach.” Nicole replied in amusement. “But I think that’s better because we don’t have to worry about sand getting in places that sand should never be.” She let out a small laugh as she grabbed Waverly’s hands and looked into her eyes with a lopsided smile. “Are you ready to go to bed with me?”

“Always. It’s my favorite part of the day,” Waverly answered with unmistakable affection, and she followed Nicole as the redhead pulled her inside, shutting the door behind them.

When they got comfortable in bed, cuddled up beside each other with Nicole caressing Waverly’s upper back while she laid on her chest and Waverly smiling as she listened to Nicole’s heart beating, they looked up at the ceiling fan rotating in never-ending circles. The room was quiet, aside from the breeze coming through the opened window, and if they listened carefully, they could hear the faint sounds of waves crashing.

“I’ve been thinking about what your dad said, and I think I want to get my masters degree.”

Nicole looked down at the brunette with curious eyes. “Yeah?”

Waverly repositioned herself so that she could see Nicole’s face a little better. “Yeah. I think I want to teach college classes. I love talking about ancient cultures and languages, so I might as well talk about it to people who are there to learn, right?”

A supportive smile grew upon Nicole’s face. “I think that would be perfect for you.”

“Really?” Waverly let out a breath of excitement through her open-mouthed grin.

“Of course. I can already see it. Professor Earp. Has a nice ring to it.”

“Yeah. Yeah, it does.” Waverly nodded, thinking about all of the students filing into the lecture hall as she wrote her name on the chalkboard.

“Plus, we could have some rendezvous in your office.” Nicole smirked.

“Oh, that would be sexy.” Waverly wiggled her eyebrows as she leaned up to kiss the redhead.

Nicole sighed as they went back to their previous position of Waverly laying on her chest. Thoughts began to race through her head, specifically thoughts of what their future life might look like. “We’re married.”

Waverly squeezed Nicole a little tighter as a sleepy smile made its way onto her face. “We’re married.”

“I can’t wait for this new chapter of our lives together.”

“Me neither baby.” Waverly lazily rubbed her hand over Nicole’s chest. “Me neither.”

“And I can’t wait to have kids with you. You’re going to make such a sexy pregnant woman.” She looked down at Waverly with playful eyes and noticed that the woman was trying her best to laugh, even though she was falling asleep. 

Nicole laid her head back down on the pillow with a huge smile on her face as she continued to trail her fingertips up and down Waverly’s back, thinking about their future life together, until her eyes slowly shut and she drifted off to sleep.
