The Clerembeax Palace Hotel and Spa – Winter Solstice Pagan Rite

 

The beautiful Downshire village of Clerembeax St Giles was situated to the west of Abbeyvale located between Grace Hill and Bushy Down and on the outskirts was the Clerembeax Palace Hotel and Spa and one of the rooms was occupied by John Claffey and Lori Fourie who had to spend the night at the Palace after being snowed in after a snow storm on the previous afternoon and as a result had a bonus night of unbridled passion, a pagan rite on the Winter Solstice, so to speak.

It’s not uncommon for couples or married people, to take advantage of an unexpected stay at a Hotel, however John and Lori were not a couple, though they were married, just not to each other, in fact until the previous evening they hadn’t even met.

They had both spent the day, independently, using the facilities and enjoying some of what was on offer, choosing from, fitness classes, Yoga, gym, rock sauna, infra-red sauna, aroma steam room, ice fountain, drench showers, Jacuzzi, a Romanesque pool, Reflexology, Raki, facials, scalp massage, hand massage, Manicure and Pedicure, the world was their oyster.

Lori had been there with her sister, but she had to leave early to pick up her kids, and John was there for a range of treatments, including water therapy, following a knee injury sustained on the Rugby field.

They had both independently decided to take full advantage of the facilities and squeeze the last drop of enjoyment from the day at the Spa and then when it came time to leave they found the weather had closed in, so they both booked rooms and a meal at the restaurant and then spend the rest of the evening in the bar which was when they met for the first time and where they drank too much and ended up using just the one room and because it was still snowing the next morning they stayed for two nights.

 

By Sunday morning the thaw had set in which meant they would be leaving after breakfast.

John was the first to rise and showered first, leaving Lori sleeping and reflected, as he showered, on the delightful events of the two nights and a day they had spent together and was thinking about how he would begin Sunday in the same vein and still have time for breakfast.

So, he got out of the shower and hastily dried himself and was just about to open the bathroom door and put his plan into action when the door burst open and Lori rushed in

“Morning” she said and kissed him

“Hi Babe” he replied, and she bustled him out of the door and closed it.

When he heard the toilet, seat go down with a bang he shuffled away disappointed at not being able to put his plan into action, so he dried his long lean body off and with the towel wrapped around his waist and sat on the bed in front of the TV while he waited for the object of his lust to emerge clean and fresh from the bathroom.

 

When Lori finally appeared pink and pristine from the bathroom wrapped in towels she said

“Are you not getting dressed?”

“In a minute, I’m just watching the news” he lied as his eyes surveyed her every curve of her beneath her toweling sarong.

A curvaceous form he had become very familiar with in the short time they had known each other.

As Lori stooped over her bag and fished out a pink bra and matching pants, John walked up behind her and as she stood up she gasped and leant back in his arms, her short red hair, still wet against his skin

“You made me jump” she gasped

“I thought you might want some help” he lied

“Help with what?” she asked suspiciously

“To get you dry of course” John said innocently

“Really?” she asked doubtfully

“You are such a cynic,” he said as he wrapped his arms around her.

“I know it’s a character flaw” she said as he nibbled her ear, and then

Lori breathed sharply in and out through her nose as he un-tucked the sarong and it fell open to expose her nakedness.

“We’ll miss breakfast” she said as he kissed her neck, but it was said with no conviction and he wasn’t really listening.

 

When they collapsed in a breathless heap on the bed and just lay there, spent and panting.

“Can I have breakfast now?” Lori panted

“You have a one-track mind” he replied and then he suddenly realized the time, so they had to jump in the shower together to wash away their lust, so they could make the restaurant in time for breakfast and only made it by the skin of their teeth to satisfy a different kind of pagan rite.
