<strong><em>Elijah and Maddi...fishing?</em></strong><br/><br/>Elijah and Maddi matched thrust for thrust, digging small trenches in the sand.  They found a comfortable rhythm and it did not take long, with the emotions running hot, for the couple to hit their stride.  Elijah's twin assault caused Maddi to succumb first, but as Maddi's muscles contracted around him, Elijah quickly crested his own hill, and with a prolonged satisfied groan, coated Maddi's insides for the second time that morning.<br/><br/>Elijah slumped over Maddi's back for a moment, kissing her over her shoulder, before rolling to his back in the sand and pulling her on top of him.  Despite the euphoria that he felt with Maddi in his arms, he realized that his knees were now screaming at him.  He saw the abrasions that the sand had caused and knew that Maddi must have gotten it worse.  As he looked to her, she was already cleaning off the sand from her own knees.  Not much worse than his own.  "Sometimes, my dear....love hurts."  Elijah managed a smile.<br/><br/>"Now where were we, oh yes, fishing.  Have we caught any yet?"  In spite of the fact that they had a job to do, they felt the need to just lay in each others' arms for a bit longer before getting up to face the fish.
