Title: My Eternal Summer
Author: thelovelylydia
Prompt: Blue Skies #10;
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade…
(Sonnet XVIII by William Shakespeare)

Summary: Alice and Tarrant are joining under the moon on one of the last nights of summer.
Summer was drawing to a close, Alice could tell by the shortening days and the less amounts of people enjoying holidays.
They called summer something different here but it was still short of the same. The people played in the sun when it was much too wonderful outside to concentrate on their work. They pranced in the pools when it was too hot to be outdoors. She looked down at her own skin, now freckled and a bit more golden than it was when she had returned home. Her mother would have a fit to know that she had let her sun go red under the sun. But gently it was settling into a nice shade of brown.
She was laying in the heat of the night, the crescent moon smiling down on her naked body as she had settled out in a field. Rather, she had settled alone; Tarrant basked in his nude glory next to her in the moonlight. They were enjoying one of the last warm nights of the holiday season before they would grow chilly. Then they would seek refuge near the fire, trapping heat in their bed.
It was much too hot to do what they were in a bed however. Alice smiled warmly to herself as Tarrant gently nipped and licked the skin of her neck. She laughed at him and rolled him over, straddling herself on his torso.
“I am going to miss rolling around in the grass in a midnight romp with you,” Alice smiled as she took his hand in hers. His hips were undulating beneath her causing the warm feeling to rise in the pit of her stomach.
“These months will return again next year, my love. They are a cycle,” He moaned as he pushed into her depths. Alice braced her body on his chest, leaning forward to look down on him.
“But that will be a long time to wait.” She said with a smile. “Summer is much too short.”
“Indeed it is.” He paused in his ministrations with a frown. “But everything is run by Time, He knows that some things cannot last forever. Things that He can control.” He whispered as he rolled over. Alice lay under him now, the soft grass tickling her back as he moved again inside of her. His rough hands were caressing her still fair breasts causing Alice to squeak in delight.
“Ohn than’ es fer certain,” He leaned close to her and moved more quickly. Alice felt her body pulsing with his, the warmth in her middle was spreading and she was close to the edge. “tha’ no ma’er wha’ season et es, Ah wehl always louve yeh.” He kissed her neck roughly.
Alice grabbed his shoulders as he pushed harder and in minutes she was moaning his name. His release came soon after and he shouted her name through the quiet night air. Alice heaved with air as the feeling of euphoria spread from the tip of her head to the ends of her curling toes. Tarrant rolled off of her, recovering for another round. She reached out across the grass where he lie beside her now and took his hand in hers.
“You will always be my eternal summer.”
