Balcony Bliss

This is Story 2 from a family vacation when our kids were young, private time was hard to come by, and sex was furtive. (To read the first, see ”Vacation Innovation,” on Jan. 18, 2024.) As before, descriptive details – some imagined for lack of specific memories – were added to flesh out the basic elements of the episode, which ARE ALL factual as to time, place, positions, primary activities, and end result!  

Balcony Bliss

SETTING: Not sixty feet away from our run of balconied rooms, built hard against a swiftly flowing mountain stream, rose up a matching run of rooms on the other side. The room balconies on both sides very nearly extended over the burbling waters beneath – wherein lay the romantic appeal of the place.

Though bleeding daylight, there was still enough sky-glow to see folks enjoying their stream-side platforms opposite us (and vice versa) and the warm radiance of lighted rooms glimmered and glinted off the waters below us, adding to the ambient light. Since our young ones succumbed to weariness early and crashed for the night after a busy day of family fun, it happened that we would soon make use of our own outdoor balcony.

EPISODE: “Come out and listen with me!” my Petite Lady invited as she reached through drapes to slide open the glass door to our unit’s outside space. Moving to the railing, she winged her arms upon it, lowered her chin to her hands, and leaned in to enjoy the “music of the spheres.” Did she sigh contentedly and grow still, the hint of a smile turning the corners of her mouth upward, enjoying some secret thought? Or am I just imagining now that she did so? (You’ll have to decide….)

I pulled a deck chair up right beside her, perched on the front edge of it, and leaned my head against her cushiony side-breast spilling out from under her right arm. She shifted her feet to rebalance and as she did, I noted that they inched apart somewhat as I snuggled into her. Glued together like that, we relaxed, breathed, and listened to the murmuring sounds of tumbling waters and trilling bugs.

Being the kind of guy that I am, a question began to grow in my mind as we lingered in that position: what might she be wearing under that cotton coverup? She seemed in no hurry to leave, so I determined to find out while the woodsy insect music swelled and darkness deepened. But…! I needed do it carefully, lest I overreach (duh, literally) and discover her thoughts had been elsewhere.

Dropping the hand I hooked over her left hip bone, I drew her close, and casually brought it down to palm her shin just below the hem of her shift. I gave her shin a little “Hey there” squeeze, and she didn’t move. Squeezing again, I found she still didn’t move. “So far, so good,” said I to the spongey noodle that was now pondering whether to wake up from his comfortable slumber down in my pants. “It’s early,” I continued in my thoughts. “Don’t get your hopes up too soon.”

I reached my thumb around into that soft cavity behind her knee and began to thumb-tap the skin there. She lifted her head, turned her face in my direction, then nestled her left cheek on her hands and resumed her still-statue pose. Were her eyes closed at this point? Maybe. But I cannot say because my mind was focused on parts of her that were much more concealed.

I lazily moved my hand to her other leg and traced the softness behind her knee there. With a sweet sigh, she shifted again resulting in – Glory! – a slightly wider stance. (That WAS encouraging!) I danced some feathery touches up the back of her leg, then slipped around to lightly slide down the inside of one leg using the softest touches that I could bestow. (She LOVES feathery touches.)

If she’d had nine legs, I would have stroked them all. But having just two, I took LOTS of time. I gave my girl a veritable CONCERT of whispery touches that dusky evening, sometimes slip-sliding along, sometimes fingertip-tapping against her skin, sometimes digit-climbing her leg mischievously, like old Inky Dinky spider. Her legs, now nicely triangled on the deck under her cotton shift, twitched and quivered as I retraced such movements up, down, inside, and around, her legs from sandaled heels nearly to her bottom above. (At least I imagine that her legs twitched and quivered. Ha!)

By this time, I leaned against her in a delicious reverie. My gentle bids were welcomed and I was on the edge of sensual overload; the waters leap-frogging noisily below us; the light-drained sky with its orange horizon peeking through the trees; the mild night calming us; the softness of her smooth bare skin under my hand that felt bare-er the higher I reached (HOO! if that is possible); the tactile memory (Oh! now dominating every other thought) of just how hot and slippery her magical crease felt on earlier occasions when I had probed and pushed my fingers into its aroused form, AND, the evident enjoyment she was taking from my touching her thusly – well, how could it get any better than that!

As my eager (but patient) hand grazed higher, I pictured my Sweet-Pea-with-the-Pearl’s face bearing the ever-so-slight smile that softens her countenance when I’m causing her to feel good down there, though from my position, I could not see it. But I had watched that expression too many times not to imagine the corners of her mouth upturned slightly, her eyes closed, brow creases smoothed, her overall countenance beautifully dreamy. I sat still as a rock as I leaned into her side. Except…! Except for my left arm reaching high between her legs from behind up under her skirt.

All peacefully we breathed, feeling a little naughty indulging in our “public” evening delight. (MH readers who boldly flirt with the risk of being “caught” – all but naked, even! – may smile at our timidity but you gotta realize; we were raised fundamentalists. We pushed on our boundaries where we found them.)

Once again, my hungry girl shifted her legs. This time she planted her feet so widely apart that the invitation was unmistakable. Go for it, love! Slide that hungry hand of yours all the way up where you want it – where I WANT IT! My legs are open; the soft pink petals that you love to touch are waiting, and they’re verrry hungry. Oh, My Dear, I can say that they are positively DROOLING for your touch. YOU’LL see!

At least, that’s what I now fancy she was thinking. (A body movement can inspire a thousand words.)

Joyfully, I reached up to embark upon a full tour of the territory. All gently, I stroked those petaled parts and the deepening crevice that cradled them. Her outer lips were, by now, slowly separating hills, puffy and damp. The divided flesh curling down over her pubic bone was painted with that slickest of oils, her own self-supplied lubricant. (And boy, she was supplying a LOT.)

Ahem… Now confirmed. M’Lady was out on the balcony bare bottomed under her shift, just waiting to be discovered naked and horny. (Who was seducing whom?!) Well, discover I did. Now I determined to not disappoint her.

I stroked her swelling folds with fumbling fingers. I swished; I swirled; I kneaded in erotic elation. (Her arousal was, and still is, my greatest aphrodisiac.) For a moment or two – from my left arm position behind and beneath – I reached so high up in front of her that my hand clasped at the curves of her belly while her swollen pussy pressed wetly against my wrist (requiring a couple teasing wiggles for good measure).

From the soft skin of her belly, my fingers slid down to comb through her luxuriously curly, pubic hair. Such humid warmth therein! Such rich texture! I slid under, gathered her entirely in my hand, lifting against her outer hills, wet labia, prominent clitoris, and reddened deep portal. This was like the whole-crotch pressure that she often enjoyed when I hand-pleasured her.

Releasing that sweet gathering of parts, I traced her inner lips their joining on each side of her clitoral hood. Then I lingered for a fingertip dance around her pearl’s soft sanctuary. With deliberation, I traced her symmetrical lips downward feeling them wish-bone out, then back in, to encircle her darkening gorge. I reversed movements yet again, loitering at the top. The longer I touched all around her pearl’s pedestal, it thickened and distended. (I LOVE that little erection!)

My Dream Girl’s sloppy crotch was now so blood-pumped. My fingers fit mostly inside her deep-walled entry as I sloshed around its contours, sliding effortlessly.

Abruptly, her bare bottom jutted back against the coverup’s fabric, then jerked forward in a quick twerk. She jutted back again, then rocked her pelvis down and forward as I continued my stroking. Again, she did, and again. The jutting back, the tilting up. Both accelerated until her pelvis was freely rocking in rhythm with my accelerating fingers. This added extra pressure with each pelvic thrust. For my part, I was mouth-breathing now – almost panting – from the erotic stimulation coursing through our linked bodies and minds.

Oh, how I wanted her to come in a full frenzy of PLEASURE! I knew she was getting close. And ACK!! Let it be SOON, lest I pass out from hyperventilation!

Now! she whispered. FAST! HARD! I pressed down, bumped, and rubbed my fingers over her turgid clitoris with its standing pearl. That erect little prominence was now shouting (I can tell these things); More! MORE!! OH, PLEASE! MORE-E-E!!! DON’T YOU DARE STUH’ … [PANTING] … D-O-ON’T STO-O-O-OPPPPP!  OOOOOHHHHHHHH! UNGGG!! GUHHHHH!!! FWOOOO-EEEEEEEEE!

With a rush and a gasp, SHE. CAME. MARVELOUSLY!  Her legs snapped shut and clamped tightly, trapping my hand and wrist in her crotch. She twisted her hips to one side and her knees almost buckled when her first spasm broke. Each one sent heady rushes of pleasure through her body. She sucked in air and exhaled in sharp, clipped breaths.

How many times did she rise up, then slide down, those pleasure waves on that (still today) memorable night. Only to be surprised by more waves lifting her up, then sending her exhilaratingly down again? I will tell you; I have no idea! (Well it was FORTY YEARS ago, folks.) I know the waves crested and receded. The gradually calmed as they expanded outward from her little inverted hanging valley that I call my Puss. On cue, her brain dumped its boatload of happy chemicals. A deep peace seeped into her limbs, her thoughts, her quieting flesh.

When the waves quieted to serene, and her sighs subsided to normal breathing, she unlocked her legs. She stepped apart to release my wrist and hand that had been so strongly captured in her orgasmic embrace. I stretched out my crumpled, sticky fingers, then gave her sexy bottom some a few lingering feels. (I always loved tracing the delicate transition lines where her thighs ended and her round bottom cheeks began.) Fully pleased, I pulled my hand out from under her gown into the cooler outside air. I was coming down from my own panting excitement – a passion that peaked with hers when she climaxed. “GOD, what a creature!” I exulted.

Did someone look at us from across the dusky stream? Could they discern in that dim light what we were doing so long out there on our balcony? I doubt it. But what if someone did happen to watch us there? I hope they enjoyed it. Seeing lovers please each other on their vacation room balcony while creation’s night hits played around them.

My sweet lover floated in the sway of released endorphins. She gave a long, contented sigh, as she moved into that liminal state between dozing and dreaming. I sighed with her in the afterglow of our shared ecstasy.

Not a word was said – nor needed said.

And then we went to bed.

    Hubbie here, EDL, and thank you for a great second, and follow-up, post! I went back to your first, finding this introduction …

    “… married young more than 50 years ago and are midway through our eighth decade. We’re grateful that the fires of physical passion still burn in us! Nowadays they’re more like bright-coals-on-the-hearth and with a few lapping flames than blowtorch-hot episodes as in our early years”.

    Holy Toledo, that’s so identifiable! We’re coming to 45 this year, and the fires of physical passion are similar! We’re mid to late 60’s, but you and LovingMan and maybe just a few others are great inspirations to keep the fires lit for as long as we can! We’re trying to carry that torch as well!

    As for today’s story, I think the sex was really good, and I loved the exhibitionist potential of balcony sex with a similar building facing you. I don’t know for whom you wrote the “pushed our boundaries” disclaimer, but Queen and I identified with being MH readers who boldly flirt with the risk of being “caught”.

    Good job on pushing your boundaries! We try to push our boundaries all the time, as much as we can, and it makes for many of our story posts! I hope you pushed some more, and can add some more stories herein! Your memory was pretty good for this story. And “author embellishment” is always legit!

    Again, thanks for a great story, and please write again. Blessings and passion!

      Thank you for your generous reply, 'Hubbie.' Glad to provide inspiration, if possible, to MHrs who are a bit, or a lot, younger than we are. You two aren't that far behind us, and yes, aging is an irresistible fact of life with plenty of unwelcome effects. But at our age, it's also nice to have little left to prove, isn't it? The ones just starting out on life's journey are the ones that we pray for. They can only hope their best dreams come true. So many of ours HAVE come true, as I imagine many of yours have as well. As to pushing our boundaries – HA! – given our start in life, we have indeed, slowly but steadily, pushed our sexual boundaries and practice in joyful ways. That said, I'm pretty sure my wife would find the thought of being "caught" more mortifying than erotic. For myself – especially in the throes of arousal – I have sensed the erotic draw of such a thing. I'm afraid it would turn out to be one of those "be careful what you ask for" moments were it ever to happen to us in some careless circumstance! Not that I can even picture what such a circumstance would be at this point of our lives. As to whether I thought of you specifically when I inserted that disclaimer, no, not really, though I'm aware that you have directly alluded to your exhibitionistic tendencies. I've read enough MH stories that described "being watched" scenarios to know that the erotic appeal of that is by no means rare among sex-positive and passionate Christian couples. I think if it ever happened to us, the best case would be to have been observed and appreciated by someone without us knowing at the time and them later confessing, but thanking us that they had been encouraged, moved by, even instructed in some freeing way in their own sexual expression. We might, I think, have been pleased at that outcome while being spared the embarrassment of knowing we were being watched at the time. DISCUSSION inquiry: Other MHrs following these comments – how many of you think you would be even more highly aroused to realize that you were being watched by someone while having sex? Very curious as to how and why "being caught" or watched has such appeal as it apparently does.

    • EighthDecadeLovers says:

      Well, this is awkward! I was replying to you LLL, but apparently, had accidentally landed in the text box of Mr. LovingMan. So please just drop down to his comment and you will see what I meant to appear here in this box!

  2. LovingMan says:

    EDL, that’s a great story! It takes creativity to find time for erotic marital fun when the kiddos are young! I loved this part of your story where you described the effects of a good orgasm:

    “On cue, her brain dumped its boatload of happy chemicals. A deep peace seeped into her limbs, her thoughts, her quieting flesh.”

    We did balcony bliss on our honeymoon about 30 years ago! We were in an isolated mountain cabin – surrounded by pine trees. So we put down our bedspread on the bedroom’s balcony and went for it.

    Hey, cum to think of it, I’ve never written about that for MH! You inspired me!

    • EighthDecadeLovers says:

      Well, Lovely Lady, I appreciate your affirmation of my "aesthetic." I set out to use metaphor, descriptive detail, and imagery to express my joy in the holy sensuality that my dear wife and I have embraced for more than half a century now. Partly that's because those terms and words have never rolled off our tongues with anything but awkwardness and eventual cringe (that conservative upbringing again!), but more because I think such "raw' language packs more punch for couples in the heat of the moment than it does for readers at a distance. You have been gracious in your comments on both my vacation sex stories, Triple-L, and I am grateful for your feedback.

    • EighthDecadeLovers says:

      To LM… I'm hoping this appears first under your above response and not second, below my misplaced reply to Lovely-L-Lady which also appears under your comment instead of under hers. Whatever – I figure you'll find it! But, thank you, sir! And God's mercies be upon you as you manage your various health challenges, and Melody hers, as well. I was especially pleased that you appreciated the "aftermath" details I wrote. The physical, mental, and spiritual "reset" to a state of primal peace is one of the most beautiful payoffs to a gasping, heart-pounding, over-the-top orgasm, is it not? I never tire of that relaxed and rested look on my beloved's face, and I feel SO GRATEFUL to have a hand in causing it. (Rather literally in my story above!) You have often described your beautiful partner's response as her countenance taking on a surprisingly youthful look, and I completely understand that. May it ever be so!

  3. Mokey says:

    What a beautiful story!! I have loved both of your stories, in fact they are both in my favorites. You are clearly a wordsmith. And as to your discussion comment, yes the thought of someone watching can drive me crazy, but not my bride. In our 41 years of marriage, she has gotten adventurous a couple times though. Please keep writing!

    • EighthDecadeLovers says:

      Thank you, Mokey. I am honored that the two posts registered so well with you. And thank you for your gracious compliment. I love words – numbers not so much! I have another story scheduled in late April. Watch for "The Long Boring Highway." And congrats on your 41 years. Stay healthy!
