A Sanctuary for Elle (4 page)

Mark grew so ha
rd he ached as Elle made the most exciting noises he had heard from a partner before.  She responded so naturally to him, without any inhibition.  It was wonderful.

Mark rose from her legs and settled himself on top of her.  She wrapped her legs around his
back and Mark held himself ready.  He leant down and kissed her, thoroughly, carefully.  He massaged her breasts with her hands as he kissed her and Elle wriggled her hips impatiently.

Elle could feel him against her opening, ready but waiting as he kisse
d her.  She ached to feel his length filling her, tried to raise her hips to rub against his silky shaft.  He didn't allow her to take him yet though, holding himself back until the last possible moment.

Mark kissed her again thoroughly and then pulled bac
k to watch her as he entered her.  She gasped as he filled her.  They fit like a glove, it was tight but perfect, sensation so exquisite they both grew still for a moment.  He then began to move, slowly at first but then with more intensity as their orgas
m
built.  On and on he moved, heat built within until they were both crying out with pleasure.  The orgasm hit strong and hard, simultaneously bursting within them.  Mark kept moving languidly until the feeling inside subsided.  They held each other close
a
s they recovered. 

Elle suddenly felt exhausted and let tiredness consume her.  With her eyes closed she held Mark tight, loving the feel of him holding her.

Mark stayed out until he felt he was too heavy for her.  He then shifted them onto their side and
Elle turned so they were spooned together tightly.  Mark reached over to where the unused sleeping bag lay and threw it over them.  That way, if they did end up falling asleep, at least they should stay warm.  Mark closed his eyes and willed his body to
r
elax.  He felt Elle drift off and heard her breathing deepen.  She was asleep.  He could feel it in the relaxed state of her limbs.

Mark wished he could sleep too but his brain was suddenly on overtime.  Their situation was serious.  Being trapped was one
thing but would the air run out?  Would they get to them I time?  Could they be extracted from this nightmare safely?  He had tried to keep Elle unaware of the severity of the situation but there were any number of things that could go wrong here.  Their
m
oments together only intensified the need to survive this ordeal.  He had to get them out of this alive, he couldn't bear to think this was it, that he had finally met someone amazing and he may not live to see her in normal day to day life. 

Mark closed
his eyes and rested but did not sleep.  He watched the darkness give way to dusk, rays and slivers of light inching through the rocks around them.  Elle stirred then turned, shifting her body around to face him.

'Mark, what's wrong?' she asked.

'Nothing. 
I'm just tired.'

'Why? Did you not sleep?' Elle was confused.  He had a major frown on his face.

'No, I thought one of us better stay awake, just in case, you know?'

'Well I'm awake now, I feel better, why don't you close your eyes for a minute?'

Just as he was about to refuse her offer she lifted a hand and began to smooth it over his brow, creating such a lovely sensation that he felt tiredness wash over him.  Maybe just for a minute then he thought.  He closed his eyes and immediately drifted o
f
f.

Elle watched as Mark's face gradually relaxed.  She marvelled at what had occurred between them in this life or death situation.  He was a man in a million, she recognised that much, even though she didn't even really know him yet.  He was also so hands
ome it made her ache.  His skin was velvet smooth and completely blemish free.  She ran her hand across this forehead in slow, languid strokes, easing him to a deeper sleep.  The early morning light was shining through the gaps in the rocks now and she co
u
ld see him so much more clearly.  She was amazed that such a stunning man wanted her so much, was this passionate about her.  She hoped that when they were out of this car that they could spend some time together, really get to know each other.

Suddenly El
le heard something.  Mark's eyes flickered opened as she drew her hand away from this head and it was then that they heard the loudspeaker.  Their rescue was under way.

Chapter 3

Mark felt Elle's body tense as they both heard the disembodied voice of the
loudspeaker.  It was difficult to make out all the words but they heard, 'rescue, landslide, help, hours..' so they knew the emergency services had arrived.  Elle moved to get up, intent on getting her clothes.  She could not be uncovered and naked when
t
hey were finally rescued.  Mark prevented her escape by holding her fast.

'Elle, this can't be the last time I see you.  You must promise me that.  When we are freed, when we go our separate ways, say you will see me again.  Date me, let me take you to din
ner.  Make love with me more.'

The look in Mark's eyes made Elle melt.  'I would love to see you again.  Any time.  Dinner, dates, making love.  I've never experienced these feelings with anyone before Mark.  I want more of it.  More of you.  I still want
you now, even after hours of making love.'

The fire in Mark's eyes burned ever stronger. 'Now,' he urged, 'before they save us, one more time.'

'But Mark, we can't, they're just out there!'

'Elle it may take hours for them to reach us, you hear the sound o
f the machines, the diggers, they're a long way off yet.  We have time. Please.'

And with that Elle gave in, despite feeling ever so slightly daring that there was a rescue team, heaven knows how close, working on saving them and they were getting busy, n
aked as the day they were born!

Reservations aside, Elle's excitement grew at the unchartered territory.  Never before had she been daring enough to have sex in public or with the chance of someone seeing them.

Mark reversed their positions, moving Elle be
neath his strong body.  Without prelude he reached down to hook his arms under her legs.  He lifted them so that her legs were bent at the knee and raised to her chest.  He then put his arms under her knees pushing them closer onto her chest opening her w
i
de and ready for his plundering shaft.  He then got into position and with one forceful thrust entered her fully.  Straight to the hilt he went, pushing and pushing, her open position pushing him further than even before. 

With her knees to her chest, in
a position Elle had never tried before, Mark thrust long, steady strokes deep inside her molten core.  His tip reached depths inside she didn't know possible and this only added to the rapid pulse of sensation he was starting. 

Mark captured her lips with
his and their tongues tangled in unison, knowingly exploring each others now familiar mouths.  His hands cupped both breasts and squeezed and tormented her nubs with experienced hands.

The combined sensation of his deep thrusts, her tingling breasts and h
is clever tongue hit her with a sudden forceful climax. She shouted out and he silenced her with his mouth, covering it with his and continuing to thrust as wave after wave hit her. 

His ruthless onslaught continued as she rode the wave of climax and came
down to see him still before her, his eyes watching her face as she came.  His slow smile gave her a magnitude of pleasure as she looked into pools of languid fire.  He continued to move, deep, long thrusts which kept her body tingling with desire.  He r
e
ached between them to find her slick dewy centre and rubbed in a circular motion with his thumb.  The intimate touch combined with the deep, hard thrusts brought on another orgasm, a slow rise with a blissful sudden spark of crescendo as she reached the p
e
ak within her.  Mark felt Elle rising and let go to lose himself inside her.  He pumped his seed deep within her until he felt completely empty and spent.  He collapsed into her soft shoulder and held her close. 

'Elle.  Elle.' Mark struggled to a sittin
g position and began to pull clothes on whilst grabbing bits of hers. Elle eased back and upwards confused with his sudden frantic movements.

'What's going on?'

'Can't you hear that? They're close now Elle, and we're naked.  Get some clothes on.  I don't w
ant your modesty effected.

'Okay.  Pass me my bra and thong could you.'

'Here's your bra, your thong took a battering though.  I don't know if you can wear it.'

'Okay, I' ll just have to go commando!' Elle eased her trousers up and fastened them with haste
.  Next came her bra which she covered her sore breasts with.  She then put her t-shirt and jumper over the top.  When she glanced up she found Mark was pretty much dressed too.  He had his shirt and tie looped loosely around her neck.  His trousers were
o
n but he left his suit jacket strewn across the floor of the car. 

Their eyes met and so many things went unsaid;  Their gaze said volumes though as the electric chemistry still seemed to course around them.  How could it still be this potent after all th
e things they had done together in the last 8 hours?

Mark opened his mouth to speak just as a huge sound splintered through their silence.  The world suddenly opened up and the sunlight shone through, blinding them both momentarily.

A large figure encased in a massive search and rescue suit appeared at the window and shouted, 'Hey! My name is Dan, and I'll be your rescuer today!'

Their rescue mission was in full force.  Dan calmly explained that they would be removing the window first
in order to have room to extract them from the car.  They used a machine that looked rather threatening to Elle who was huddled as far from the window as possible next to Mark.  It whined into action and the window was cut and sort of sucked away.  A lar
g
e circular hole was created which Dan then spoke through. 

'Okay, we need to get you too out now.  I'm going to pass through some protective gear that I'd like you to out on.  We'll then ease you out and get you onto a stretcher.  Now, no telling me you'r
e just fine, I don't want any of that.  You get stuck in a landslide, you get checked by a doctor.  No arguments.'

Neither Elle nor Mark argued, they simply followed the straight-talking man's instructions.  Elle was first. She put on the helmet given and
padded protective jacket.  She then looped on the harness that would connect her to Dan and she was carefully eased out and through the window where waiting paramedic's quickly took her to the ambulance.

Mark was then removed from the car in the same fashi
on.  He was out quickly and put on another stretcher, whisked towards a different waiting ambulance.

Elle tried to sit up from her position on the stretcher she had been ordered to lie on.  The paramedic asked her to lie down and then informed her that she
would be taken to a hospital and checked over thoroughly. 

'But what about Mark?  Where's Mark?'

'He's being taken to hospital too, he is going in the other ambulance. Don't worry he's just fine,' The paramedic tried to reassure her.

To Elle's distress, she didn't even get to say goodbye or see you soon to Mark. The emergency services just took over and bossed her about.  She was frustrated and found herself pushed into the ambulance before she could object.  'What about Mark?' she he
a
rd herself exclaim again.  'Where's Mark?'

The ambulance pulled away swiftly and the paramedic bustled around her, fiddling and checking and doing things Elle considered completely unnecessary.  She felt fine!

The paramedic repeated her earlier words, 'Th
e other patient will go in the other ambulance.  You can see him at the hospital.' The paramedic's words reassured her slightly and she let herself relax a little.  Closing her eyes she let tiredness encase her banging head.  Exhausted. Her mind was spent,
she had barely slept.  They had been too busy doing other things.  Other wonderful things.  Things that had made her body sing with happiness.  She closed her eyes and felt the tiredness creep in.  The paramedic was checking her closely, she was a little
delirious, clearly suffering from exhaustion but otherwise seemed fine.  Her brief memory lapse caused by sheer tiredness. 

Elle didn't recall the journey to the hospital, she was so tired that she fell fast asleep and didn't surface until she was somewhe
re entirely different and foreign.  It seemed that her life and death experience was well and truly over. 

Chapter 4

Elle awoke in unfamiliar surroundings.  She was clearly in hospital, one look around at the white walls told her that much.  She was alo
ne, she felt better, the tiredness that had come over her in the ambulance was now gone. Mark! Where was Mark? Was he okay? Was he still here?  She desperately wanted to see him.  Touch him. Have him kiss her again.  The experience in the car had been inc
r
edible, she couldn't bear the thought that she may not see him again.
