The Dead Body Under the Mattress: Ch. 1

Ricky rested a hand on my shoulder, making me turn to face him. I had been staring out at the lake in the front of our run down motel room and just appreciating nature. It was our honeymoon and we wanted to go somewhere quiet and just spend time together. Just for the hell of it we chose upstate New York. There were a total of two hotels within the general 20 miles where we wanted to be, and one of them was abandoned.

"Ryan, can we go swimming?" It was midsummer, so this would be the warmest the water would be getting. Also, my goal was to make this a week to remember.

"Of course, babe." Ricky smiled cheerfully, moving to where we had dropped our suitcases. He found both of our bathing suits and tossed mine to me. I watched as he turned his back to me and began to strip, making sure to wiggle his ass as much as possible without it looking like he was purposefully trying to get to me.

"Perv." He playfully snit as he looked over his shoulder. I snickered and began to undress, making sure to quickly cover myself up. I grabbed the towels we had brought with us, unfolding one of them and wrapping it around Ricky's shoulder. He chuckled and tied it like a cape, skipping around as he grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door. I snatched the key from the table quickly before stepping outside, running after my husband. We didn't even have to check before crossing the street since it was such a desolate area. There wasn't even a cellphone tower within range of us.

"Can we go to where those rocks are over there?" Ricky asked, pointing out to a small island that was fairly close to the shore. I passed him my towel and stepped into the water slowly, finding that it was still chilly. I bent down and dipped my hands into it, making sure my fingers emerged wet. I turned back to Ricky and tossed as much water on him as possible, causing him to laugh and hit me gently.

"Hop on my back." I insisted, turning so he could easily climb on me. I held the back of his thighs tight, not wanting to drop Ricky into the cold water - or even worse - onto stones. Slowly I waded out, resulting in my lower half being soaked and freezing.

"Thank you, Ryan." Ricky purred as I carefully lowered him onto the moss covered rocks. He kissed my cheek and began to wander on the new territory. Everything here was so natural and beautiful it made me consider moving here permanently.

"Hey, Ry. Come check this out." I heard Ricky call to me. I turned to see him poking his head out from behind a small grouping of trees. I danced over the slippery rocks to where he was squatting down and looking through a small metal box. It was rusty and dented in but held an array of items. From wedding rings to hunting knives to polished stones, there was an array of small and meaningful objects. There was a note scratched into the top of the container in rather messy handwriting, 'TAKE OR LEAVE'.

"Ryan... what do you think about maybe..." Ricky paused as he held up a pair of somewhat matching rings. Both had turned black with age and the diamonds were blurry but I couldn't help but be drawn to them. I smiled and sat down slowly, pulling the polished bands from our fingers and replacing them. I linked my hand with my husband and kissed the symbol of our vows before dropping them in the box.

"All the more sentimental now." I stammered, caressing his cheek. We slowly leaned into each other, our lips meeting. Lots of our kisses were passionate and filled with joy, but this was slow and warming. It felt like our wedding day all over again, which nearly brought tears to my eyes.

I reached for Ricky's waist, pulling him close. He fell forward onto me, his fingers wrapping around the inside of my thigh. I hummed into his mouth and carefully leaned back, hauling him to lay on top of me.
