I let out a sigh as the cool air hit me as I walked out of the building and towards my dorm. I had just finished my last exam and now was rushing back to my dorm room to pick up my things so Arthur could pick me up for the flight. After a brisk walk across the college campus, I arrived at my dorm and headed upstairs, running into Chani on the way. She followed me to my room, where we hugged.

“You better stay safe, Mali.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANA3NDmE4BXGi
“Or else you’ll piss on my grave.” I rolled my eyes with a smile. “I know, I know.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAhEFxAwo6AI
Her smile faded as she grew more genuine. “I’m really going to miss you.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Blu3hfng
“I’m going to miss you too, Chani. But I won’t be gone that long. I’ll be back before you know it.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAjbq2gQWAMd
“I know, but I’m gonna miss you, regardless.” She smiled slightly. “We won’t get to spend the most miserable time of the year together.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANA5KPYlJSbta
“Maybe next year I’ll be here, and it won’t be so miserable.” I laughed, picking up my suitcase. “Arthur texted me and said he’s here, so I’ve got to go, but I promise you I’ll message you when I can.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAdB7uvPamuw
“I love you, Mali.” Chani leaned in for a kiss.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAiIQYA9Xl1L
“I love you too, Chani.” I moved back after we kissed.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAslydzSzJWj
“Hey.” Arthur sat down next to me in the terminal’s seats, pulling my attention away from the birds that fly around DIA. “I bought us some coffee. Decaf for you, of course.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAM03RAeSc68
“Thanks.” I smiled as I took the warm cup from his hand.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAes3PgbLcEt
“Are you nervous about flying?”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAQJmSl8eCXi
“Yes and no.” I laughed. “Yes, because of Chani hyping it up so much, but no, because of the medication I’m on making any worries numb.” I shrugged with a smile.
47Please respect copyright.PENANA4dCZNRzKno
“There’s nothing to worry about. I’ve been on plenty of planes, and I’m still around.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANARC2a2kOpvl
“You’re just barely kickin’, though.” I poked him with a smile.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAhICStyn5Og
“Was that an old joke?” He chuckled. “Just know you’re the one going to Amsterdam with an old guy.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAezgoT8J2ra
“Fine by me.” I shrugged. “I like old guys.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAYgOXHrJTAm
“You like old guys, or you like me?”
47Please respect copyright.PENANArwqyxjp400
“Just old guys in general, but I suppose you’re my favorite one so far.” I nudged him with my elbow.
47Please respect copyright.PENANA0NoBRZcQqw
“I’ll take it.” Arthur shrugged with a smile.
47Please respect copyright.PENANA6L8JR1W98e
“How long is this flight supposed to be, anyway?”
47Please respect copyright.PENANA3swYsjjEZR
“Around twelve hours. We have one stop in O’Hare in Chicago, though. That flight will be about two or three hours of the trip.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAAaNoys2Vx6
“Alright. That’s a long time, but I’m sure I’ll be fine.” I smiled.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAAvnoRW6sHv
“You will since I’m there.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANA53bZMCz21O
I laughed. “Oh yeah? You’re gonna make sure the plane stays in the sky.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANA562SzFlBGT
“Or else.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAV82Hqf8Mvl
I rolled my eyes with a smile. “Practically Superman.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAKqxlMOLA1u
“Goddamn.” I stretched my legs out in front of me. “I thought the seats were nice on the last plane, but this is even better!” The seats were bigger and next to each other this time.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAZBc3CXQTDo
“Usually, the longer the flight, the bigger the plane.” Arthur took a sip of his Old Fashioned, which he had let me try. Like every kind of alcohol I’ve had,it mostly just tastes like the alcohol itself.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAhXoci8BVFV
“And this thing is huge.” I moved in my seat to look back at the other seats. Arthur had gotten us first-class seats, giving us more room for my first flight this long. I had a feeling he was just a first-class kind of guy in general, but I wasn’t about to complain.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAkcF4LxpsXr
“I could’ve gotten us nicer seats if we got a different plane. I waited too long for that, though.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAWL6sa0shPG
“Do you see me belly aching?” I looked over at him with a smile.
47Please respect copyright.PENANASAsunzJc6f
“You had an…odd way with words, Malia.” He looked over at me skeptically. “I’m glad but not surprised. You’re not really one to complain.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANARKsnAF6XMQ
“I appreciate you saying that.” I tilted my head to the side happily. “Oh, and thank you again for the gift.” I lifted my new iPad up. “I still think it’s too much, but I really, really appreciate it.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAs5ID6HwQHX
“It’s really nothing, Mal. And I’m glad you’ll get to use it on this flight. That’s a big part of the reason I got it for you. Can I see what you were drawing last flight?”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAOVCaiFQU3A
“Sure.” I pulled the iPad up and moved the cover before unlocking it. “It’s not the best.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAdwvmfGposM
Arthur smiled as he saw what I had been doodling. Mostly tattoo ideas and the tattoos I already had. “It’s good, Mal. You did well. These look exactly like your tattoos.” He pointed to some of them.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAz9g6tHQMih
“You should see what Chani can do.” I smiled as he handed it back to me. “She’s an amazing artist. She said she’d even draw something I can get tattooed.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAMf3OKeY2pj
“Chani is very intense.” Arthur chuckled.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAO59yI1oieS
“Oh, yeah…” I reached up to rub the back of my neck. “She really interrogated you. I’m sorry about that.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAbDvLVSVQp3
He smiled, shaking his head. “It’s alright, Mal. I’m sure things will work better between us if your girlfriend approves of me.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANASqlYFyxQUU
“Fair enough, but I’m still sorry. She shouldn’t have just gone in on you like that. Especially…with your ex-wife stuff.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANA5HlEF46ixx
“Well, you’ve never asked. I’m sure you shared some of her burning questions.” He looked over at me as if to see if he was right.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAvbDI3Tf9Kx
I shrugged. “I guess, yeah. At least a little.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANARfTSPLxDqp
“Do you have any other questions she didn’t ask? I don’t mind you asking.” He placed his hand on mine.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAQGK8ZIkIlV
“Not…right now, at least.” I shook my head. “But if I come up with any, and if you promise you won’t ditch me because of my curiosity, I’ll ask them.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAivejnpk8dy
Arthur chuckled. “Of course, I wouldn’t.”
After a long flight, we had finally gotten off and were able to stretch our legs and walk around again. I was happy to be off the plane and to think I wasn’t in the same country anymore, it’s crazy. I’ve only be to a handful of airports in my life, but the one in Amsterdam was very bright and airy. Even the air here felt different, or maybe it was just my excitement.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAdGph26LVvL
“You’re all smiles.” Arthur wrapped his arm around my shoulder, kissing the top of my head.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAXrne8PFJFp
“I’m just excited.” I looked up at him.
47Please respect copyright.PENANA62nDjfoHPM
“I’m glad to hear it, Mal.” He squeezed my shoulder as we made our way to the luggage pickup.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAT0jumUGxHS
After some time, we got our luggage and headed out to get a cab. We got in and started towards the hotel. I had my face glued to the window, watching everything as we drove by, not willing to miss anything. Eventually, we got off the highway and into the city.
47Please respect copyright.PENANASmJUPH8Utv
“Lot of bikes.” I glanced over at Arthur.
47Please respect copyright.PENANA23BaHo0muj
“A lot of places have better transport infrastructure than the U.S. does.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAm4GgHaoPTD
“Plus, there’s weed everywhere. So win-win.” I laughed.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAJdIRwI7Kuo
“Do you even smoke, Mal?”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAULGVudLePb
“Not…yet, but maybe someday. Chani does and has invited me to smoke with her before, though.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAPXdHZErac2
“I use to when I was younger, but it always made me sick.” Arthur shook his head.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAIDRRYLU5tQ
“Really?” I looked over at him fully with wide eyes.
47Please respect copyright.PENANA5dp1udwtdO
“Why does that surprise you so much?”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAmcgLPwEFLG
I shrugged. “Guess I didn’t expect it, is all.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAFRbLgXtktq
We arrived at the hotel and climbed out of the cab. I looked up at the Pulitzer Amsterdam. It was stunningly beautiful. I loved the architecture in the area. It didn’t take long for us to get checked in and shown to our room. I set my stuff down before jumping onto the bed, letting out a huff. Arthur sat down next to me, and I moved to rest my head on his lap.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAYpMxJSmpNF
“What would you like to do, Mal?” He ran his fingers through my hair.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAYKn7uUmU3Q
“Get something to eat and go to bed.” I admitted. I hadn’t slept the best on the plane, so I needed to catch up on some sleep; plus, I was just tired in general and a bit achy.
47Please respect copyright.PENANA8pC4fOPetj
“Sure thing. I’ll find us some food and then you can get some sleep.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANASf6nTKxFLd
The two of us woke up refreshed and got some food at the hotel. After breakfast, we embarked on a walking tour through the streets of Amsterdam, stopping at lunch. We split up from the tour and went to a couple of museums before the sun began going down. We ate dinner at a really nice Italian place before taking another walking tour of the red-light district. By the time we got back to the hotel, I was ready to never go for a walking tour again, but Arthur informed me we’d be going on a lot more on our trip.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAn6BSkbZNQQ
Both of us were tired and sore, so we agreed to use the bathtub that was next to the bed in the main part of the room.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAYAv7GAnZW1
“Are you joining?” Arthur glanced over at me as he stepped into the mostly filled-up bathtub.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAzsextWoe3b
I finally tore my attention from outside the window and stepped away. “It’s just so goddamn pretty. The view of the canal is so sick.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANA9BhB9WMQE4
Arthur chuckled. “I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself so much. You’ve been smiling nonstop.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANApJIRoaVNwt
“I’m just really happy.” I shrugged, laughing. After I had finished stripping, I looked up to see Arthur. He was watching me with a smirk. “Something you like, mister?”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAHA6zVnwrIg
“Something I like very much.” He nodded, his voice husky. “Come on and get in before the water gets cold.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAGRq2hI76Ur
I followed his command and stepped into the water, getting in on the other side of the bath between his legs. “Not as big as it could be.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAlc20RhwwOo
Arthur laughed. “When I get a house, I’ll be sure to have you check the bathrooms out for me.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANA6fn2BScCF1
“I’d love that, honestly.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAK5Yjae5qLl
We sat in the hot water for a while, before I sat up on my knees, moving to the other part of the tub to be chest-to-chest with Arthur. He ran his fingers through my hair as we made out. We made out for a while longer, before moving back.
47Please respect copyright.PENANATaH06nDlBj
“I want you, Mal.” He watched me hungrily.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAgP3If4hJQh
“I want you too.” I leaned in to kiss him again.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAbf3bjZILD5
“Get on that bed, right now.” His voice was a low growl.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAJbMcL3q1mb
I crawled out of the bath and laid down on the bed, watching as Arthur got out of the water, still dripping. “Is it okay to get the bed wet?”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAAZokjLh5eK
“Don’t worry about it, Mal.” He chuckled, walking across the floor over to me. Arthur stopped at the edge of the bed, his eyes scanning over my body.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAa7WIu90yZo
Insecurely, I shifted under his gaze.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAkbcUpIaYXE
“What’s wrong?” He tilted his head to the side, his smile fading slightly.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAx4r6hesBrW
“I’m just still getting comfortable with people seeing me naked.” I admitted, quietly.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAI86iTwQkTB
“You’re perfect, Malia.” Arthur looked at me sympathetically.
47Please respect copyright.PENANA66IzU7AkFa
“Maybe in your eyes.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAm6hFrxNLxF
“I understand.” He nodded. “But you really are amazing. I hope, in time, you’ll feel more comfortable with yourself, because you deserve it.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAdpdgJK9m5d
“Thanks, Arthur.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAiwOWoFzuST
“Of course. Because you are perfect, in fact. Just look at you.” His eyes roamed over my body once more, the smile growing back on his face. “Fuck.” I glanced down his body towards his growing erection. More than anything, it was flattering knowing he was so attracted to me.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAu1HqufpfCj
Arthur got down on his knees. “Can I eat you out, Mal? Let me show you how I feel about you.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANADzm1hBxtN3
“I--I…sure.” I nodded.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAMqH81oeybl
I could see him smile between my legs. He moved forward, burying his face in my crotch. His tongue ran between my lips, causing goosebumps to form across my body. “Arthur.” I muttered his name as he began sucking my clit. “Fuck.” He continued sucking as he stuck a couple of fingers inside me, rubbing against my walls. I ran my fingers through his hair, holding on as he didn’t stop.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAMUVNjBLlsk
Knots formed in my stomach, but before I could get off, Arthur pulled back with a smile. “I’m gonna fuck you now. You can’t cum yet, Mal.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAb7hcx1lH5Y
I nodded, pleading with my eyes. I wanted him to finish what he started but also wanted him to enjoy himself. Arthur stroked himself a few times, before running his dick through my lips, collecting my fluids and probably some of his own spit. He inserted himself and began thrusting.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAccQcsQELwU
Arthur grabbed my ankles, pushing them towards my head as he pushed himself in as deeply as possible. “Fuck.” He spoke between thrusts, breathlessly. “You’re. Fucking. Flexible. Mal.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAEYXSbifDqM
“Oh. Fuck.” I moaned out as Arthur pushed into me, reaching the end of viable space, pushing into my guts. “Arthur.” I touched, well more like clawed at, his fists forcing my knees next to my head.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAQih4oocrfG
The moans, the gasps, the whimpers all rolled out of my mouth.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAp8ce901Rh6
“You’re so hot.” Arthur growled, leaning against my wet body to gnaw at my lips. Between the kisses, he bit at my lips, even drawing blood which he hungrily sucked away from the wound. Eventually, we finished together, leaving me to ride a wave of pleasure while he thrust a few last times.
47Please respect copyright.PENANAUi243RRWdP
“Holy. Fucking. Shit.” I panted, falling back into the bed. “That was amazing.” Looking over at Arthur, I could see him watching me with a crooked tired smile. “I need to pee.” I stood up on shaky legs. “I’m fucking shaking, Arthur.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAXtX1LFFIbC
“You fucking better be.” He chuckled. “You’re fucking amazing, Mal.”
47Please respect copyright.PENANAMbWSaFo27C
“You’re amazing!” I called after him as I walked into the bathroom, a large smile on my face that I couldn’t get rid of.
