At 7 am it was already 73 degrees out, and the humidity was rising. We went in to get breakfast to start the day, and fell into line with the other thousand riders also waiting. It wasn't an awful wait. The UMF staff was serving up breakfast cafeteria style, and people were flying through. We sat with some other riders from the Gritty's Pub team who wanted us to find them at the end of the day at Colby College, where all the major teams would have pavillion tents assembled in what they called "Tent City". My company would have the largest tent there with tons of free eats, but it would be fun to visit everyone else. Breakfast concluded, I let him know I wasn't going to wait for him to start, since I was worried that I'd be late getting to my rest stop. So he left, and I left, and the day began.
The drive/route on day two was a little easier in terms of elevation gains, but the roads were narrower and there were more roads in disrepair than on day one. The views were beautiful, however, and I stopped on my way to Madison to take some pics.
Yes, I also took pics WHILE I was driving, and YES I'm straddling the middle line, and at times had to drive in the other lane to accommodate the riders. It got nerve wracking, especially coming up to the blind turns, but I just kept in mind that this was THEIR event, and I was there to help. I got to my rest stop in time, being at the second one this time.
It was a giant pavillion tent in a paper field, and the heat clustered underneath the tent, along with swirls of flies and other bugs. But we set to work making peanut butter sandwiches again for the riders snacks, along with cutting up oranges, apples, and grapes. I helped set out salty snacks, and filled in where I could as needed. It's fulfilling work to support this huge undertaking. I may never be able to ride in the event, but I can help, and that is a wonderful feeling. Our rest stop this time featured a face painting table, and I noticed, when the riders were coming through, that it wasn't manned, and people wanted it to be. So I stepped in, and face painted, arm painted, hand painted whatever anyone wanted. Cougars, pumas, team insignias and company logos, I did them all to the delight of the kids and adults both who were waiting in line for theirs. Malcolm of course smiled and cocked his eyebrow at me, his facial expression saying "Really? You're PAINTING??" LOL. I stopped to stay with him for the few minutes he was there, helped him get his water bottles refilled, and drank some ice cold water with him to rehydrate in the now 89 degree late morning. He didn't want to dawdle and stiffen, so he was off fairly quickly, off to conquer the eight miles until the next stop. We packed up, cleaned up, and set off, me trying to get to Colby College in Waterville as quickly as I could, knowing that he'd be exhausted, hot, and most likely cranky.
I had a hard time finding him at Colby, the campus just full and bustling with activity, tents, food, entertainment, and lots and lots of riders. Thank goodness we had our cell phones to find each other with. He was putting his bike in storage, getting ready for the next day's ride, and we met each other on the sidewalk below tent city. My back and hips were done from standing and painting, stooping, and serving, and he was just done, period. We were both exhausted, and the heat was frying my sunscreen free skin. We walked to Tent City, to our team's tent where we met with the captain, got his new team shirt, and ate...all around 3 pm. Neither of us had taken a shower in the morning, and, well, after a night of fooling around with Malcolm, we were both nasty as hell. We sat down and chowed, chatted with one of my co-workers, and Malcolm stripped off his shirt, rendering him virtually naked with only his skin tight micro biking shorts.

I noticed my co-worker looking a tad uncomfortable in Malcolm's overwhelmingly masculine presence, but I also noticed the scowl on his face, and knew better than to say anything to him when he was this hot and tired. He looked over at me picking at my veggie burger and wanted to know if I was ready to go. I did tell him that team photos were going to be taken in about 20 minutes, and he let me know, in no uncertain terms, that our team wouldn't miss him in the least, and that it was time for us to go.
We were staying at a motel that night, and we drove there, blasting the air conditioning. Upon arrival, I noticed that my body had decided to suddenly relax and let it all go, so I made the stupidest mad dash running for our room, almost crying when I couldn't find the elevator. I left a trail of my things in my hurry, and I heard Malcolm laughing all the way down the hallway as he picked up behind me. It was a quick jump for me from the toilet to the shower, FINALLY, and nothing in the world had ever felt so good as letting the water wash all the grit and filth away. God knows I love Malcolm, and God knows I love fucking the bejeezus out of him. But really, sex with him absolutely requires some kind of water afterwards, and preferably soap. The hotel shower was a godsend. He waited for me to finish, and took his own leisurely shower. He didn't want massage therapy, complaining that it hurt, that I was a sadist, and that it didn't help. Cry baby. We didn't sleep, but went shopping after at KMart buying him some shorts, both of us a matching pair of new sandals, more BenGay, and Ibuprofen. It was after this shopping trip that I got into an altercation with my sister and my mother over the phone, dissolving into tears in the middle of the parking lot and utterly breaking down. Malcolm took one look at me, heaved a huge sigh, hung up the phone for me, and said "Time for bed, NOW." So we went back to our motel around 4:30, and slept solid until 9 pm, when we decided it was time for supper.
Though he'd wanted liver and onions for supper from Governors, we'd overslept. So he took me on a mini date night to Ruby Tuesdays and we feasted, and talked, and held hands. We had an altogether amazing night, and we drove back to the motel, stomachs happy, and still exhausted. It was a pretty unanimous decision to just go to bed, full stomach and all, and once there, he fidgeted. He tossed, and turned, and he finally said "I just gotta fuck you, and it's not going to be pretty because I just don't have much in me." LOL, I asked him if he just wanted me to suck him off and he said "definitely not". So I asked him if he wanted me to ride, and he said No, he wanted to be on top, domming. Alrighty then. So he went down on me, to make sure I'd be wet for him, and he eased his hard cock inside, resting for a moment once he was in. This wasn't a hard fast fuck. It was soft and gentle, it was deep and slow. It was magnificent. But it didn't make me cum, and he knew it wouldn't. He blasted his cum into me, loving the way it felt as it tried to ooze back out around his cock. Then he laid on his back and gathered me into him, and told me to finish it for him, to make myself cum. He talked me through it telling me all his nasty fantasies, what he likes about our sex, what he wants to do soon. He let me tell him my fantasies, and told me he wants to make them all come true. And he bit my ear, and my shoulder, and spun increasingly nasty stories for me until I finally came hard and long, shaking with it, screaming with it, and then rocking for minutes with aftershocks. Going on almost 1 am, we closed our eyes and passed out.
