A Trip to the Alps
Tumblr media
Drew Starkey x fem!reader
Summary: Your boyfriend Drew invites you to join him for some golfing weekend in the Swiss Alps. Your only interest is sharing the hot tub with him to help relieve his aching muscles in more ways than one.
A/N: OK I really am back this time around, I’m sorry it’s taken so long to get this up, but here’s some hot tub sex with Drew because let’s be honest who wouldn’t want to have sex with this man in a hot tub... Shout out to my bestie @starkeyobx​ for giving me the details of the idea!
Warnings: All the smut - sex in a hot tub, the usual x
Drew had to head to some event in Switzerland and was offered a plus one. Frankly, if he hadn’t been offered a plus one, he’d still find a way to get you there. You two had been together for several months now, but work kept you apart enough as it was, so when you found out he was heading abroad for some special golf event, you wanted to come too. He was grateful to have you there. In his career, he’d seen so many places in the world but it was obviously different when he had someone special by his side - and you were that person to him.
“How was golf today baby? Did you win?” you asked as you heard Drew let himself into the alpine style lodge you were staying in with him. It was beautiful; there was so much wood everywhere, views of the mountains for days, and a big balcony with a hot tub on it. Perfect for the pair of you to relax in after a long day. Even at this time of year, the snow was still falling over the Alps and it made quite the beautiful scene. You’d spent the days on the balcony wrapped in (Drew’s) warm clothes and painting the scenes in front of you. Work had been hectic for you recently, so you definitely needed all this time to enjoy yourself and do something a little different.
He came behind you, arms wrapping around your body tightly as he crouched down and looked over your shoulder at what you were painting. He loved how you managed to capture the scenes in front of you so perfectly and how you just had an eye for drawing. He could sit and admire your paintings every single day.
“Exhausted. My muscles are aching. I think I’ve walked seven kilometres today,” he murmured, his arms still wrapped tight around you as you put your paintbrush down and gave him your full focus. He glanced to the side, his eyes landing on the hot tub nearby. "Think it might finally be time to get that going, don't you think?"
It only took 10 minutes for Drew to fire it up and he was already waiting for you in it when you returned to the balcony in your favourite bikini and a big fluffy hotel dressing gown draped around you.
"There's my girl," he mumbled, scooting over in the hot tub to make more space for you. You would have rathered him stay where he was mind, so you could be sat even closer together. Ignoring his plan to give you more space, you just settled yourself on his lap and took his hands, wrapping them around your waist. His camera was perched nearby and you grabbed it, turning it so you could snap a picture of the two of you together. It was a digital camera, housed in an old fashioned styled one, and a gift from his mom. He never went anywhere without it. It was the third person in your relationship,  but you loved it and the way he captured your memories. There was nothing better than seeing life from his eyes.
"Smile baby," you said, leaning back into him as you took a few photos. In true photographer fashion, Drew had always encouraged you to take more than one photo. He kissed you softly on the head for another photo, his eyes trailing the path your hands made as you placed the camera on the table.
"I love you," he whispered, kissing your head softly as he took in the view of you and also the surroundings. It was truly beautiful, the way the sky was almost dark blue as day turned to night. There were hardly any lights,so the stars and moon lit up the clear sky. It was beautiful. Light pollution in Los Angeles, which you both called your home, was insane but out here in the middle of the Swiss Alps, you could see the sparkling of the stars stretching right out in the distance.
"I love you too." You turned around to cuddle into him, adjusting comfily in your seat (his lap). You felt your bikini top, a little tight, almost painfully tug at your body. You shifted uncomfortably, stretching around to tug at the strap. "Do you mind -" you asked, already knowing the answer. He reached around to help untie it for you, carefully and delicately undoing the strings as you held it onto your body and sunk under the water to keep away from prying eyes from nearby rooms whilst it was still a little bit light. Once under the water, you tossed it onto a nearby chair and resumed your position on his lap.
"So much better," you sighed, leaning your back on his shoulder and Drew's hands moved to your tummy. He rested them on your bare skin, smiling at you as he gently dragged his arms around your body. You sighed, mumbling into his skin as you turned your head and buried yourself in his neck. You pressed a kiss to his neck, grinning into the kiss as you heard a little moan escape from his lips. He had told you once, whilst drunk, that he didn’t really moan in bed - but it wasn’t that he wasn’t enjoying it, it was just one of those things he didn’t realise he had been missing until he met you.
“Baby, gotta stop that,” he mumbled, his hands moving eagerly all over you as he explored your body like it was the first time again. “Making me feel too good.”
“That’s the aim,” you teased back, only sucking harder on his neck now and leaving a little purple shaped bruise there to tell everyone he was yours. Hopefully someone could cover that when he had to have his interview for the event he was at the next day.
“Fuck,” he groaned out, pulling you around so you were now facing him and straddling his lap. You made a point to push your hips down on his, letting him feel you against him. The water almost escaped from between the two of you as you wiggled yourself and your hips down on him. He was desperate for more, pulling and clutching at your body to feel more of you. He tugged you onto him and let his hands explore your body, moving up and down your bare sides and gently massaging your wet skin and making your mind race.
He needed more of you and rushed to tug at the little strings on your bikini bottoms. “You’re beautiful,” he murmured letting his kisses trail down your chest to your breasts. He used his body to hold yours up, exposing you to the cool air surrounding you. He attached his lips to your nipple, running his tongue over the hard nub. He swirled his tongue in slow circles, moving his hand up to play with the other one. It felt so good; his tongue moving across your hot burning skin. He flicked his tongue furiously over your nipple, only spurred on by your desperate moans and your hands clawing at his body.
“I love you, I love you,” you said, your words being punctuated by moans as you grinded yourself down on his lap. “Need you inside me, need to feel you stretching me out, please,” you said, your lips against his ear.
He couldn’t even reply, furiously pulling your bikini bottoms off as he pulled his own swimming shorts down too. He held himself in his hand, stroking himself a few times as he lined himself up with you. “Sure you’re wrt enough for me?” he said with a grin on his face, biting his lip. He scanned down your body too, looking at your beautiful skin through the ripples of the water. “Hips up baby,” he mumbled, his lips against your skin as he ran the tip of his dick over your soaking wet core a few times.  You bit your lip, bracing yourself for it as he pushed inside you. Your hands were desperately gripping at his shoulders as he did. Immediately there was the feeling of stretch and warmth and a fire ignited inside you.
He helped you ease down on him, you still gasping and moaning about his size like every time before. “Cmon be a good girl and bounce for me,” he groaned, his hands moving to rest under your bum to help you with your movements. Once you were ready and could cope with the stretch, he helped to lift you up and then you sunk down on him again, matching each other’s movements in perfect harmony as you enjoyed him making you feel so incredible. You were squeezing around him, tightening with every movement and your whole body was electric with whatever he did. He grabbed at your waist, pulling himself closer to you as you rocked your hips with his. The speed and positioning matched so perfectly.
You rolled your hips in circles, his hands on your hips as he helped you control the movements the perfect amount as you felt that familiar build up in your stomach. You started tensing around him, him feeling you squeeze his cock and sending him hurtling over the edge too. “That’s it baby, keep pulsing around my cock.” His filthy words were sending you crazy and you could barely contain yourself with all feelings. Love, passion, and complete euphoria. He moved his hand down between your bodies, brushing his fingers against your clit as you rocked your hips slowly as your orgasm approached. You rode out your high, him thrusting up into you at a blinding pace as he chased his own high, it moments away too.
He felt you tense around him and that final squeeze sent him into orgasm too. A few more thrusts in as you orgasmed yourself had him coming hard. As he came, his head fell on your shoulder, his breathing so heavy and desperate. “I love you,” he mumbled, his lips hot against your shoulder as he placed fever kisses on your skin.
“I love you too.”

Iconic ‘Austintatious’ mural became work of a lifetime
Tumblr media
Iconic ‘Austintatious’ mural became work of a lifetime Kerry Awn knows they’ve said it before: “This will be the last time.” But really, this time it has to be true. He’s 74. So is Tom Bauman, better known as tommy b. Rick Turner is 75. The trio who created the “Austintatious” mural in 1973 as University of Texas art students in their early 20s, rendering weird hippie Austin in bright colors on the north outer wall of the University Co-op, never expected they would continue repairing this community treasure well into their 70s. “We didn’t always realize it was a lifetime job,” Awn told me, breaking into a hearty laugh. The artists are back this week – Awn from Alpine, Bauman from Driftwood and Turner from New York City – to repaint the central stretch of the iconic, fisheye-lens mural after a tagger scrawled 5-foot-tall letters across it last month. The three artists had already made plans to be here in April to repair their other mural at the 23rd Street pedestrian mall, “Tejas,” which was vandalized in January. (April seemed a nicer month to be outside painting.) Both murals were covered in an anti-graffiti coating called Vandl-Guard. If someone spraypaints on top of that, a companion product called VandlClean can be applied to break down any paints sitting on top of the VandlGuard coating. At least, that’s the theory. Turner said the product worked pretty well in protecting the “Tejas” mural, though some touchups are needed. But the damage to the “Austintatious” mural, which is decades older and painted on a fussier stucco wall, was extensive, requiring repainting of large areas from its depictions of the Texas Capitol to the former Gethsemane Lutheran Church (home to the Texas Historical Commission). Much of the surreal, cloud-filled body of Stephen F. Austin must also be redone. The artists, who last saw each other exactly a year ago for a party and official city proclamation celebrating the “Austintatious” mural’s 50th anniversary, picked up the conversation and their paintbrushes as if no time had passed. I nodded toward a freshly painted green spot where a small figure had been. “Who was that?” I asked. Awn shrugged. “Some street guy from 30 years ago.” No one with the staying power to be included in the restoration. Bauman, who earlier showed me his prized 2002 addition to the mural, an image of his son, Erick, as a 12-year-old Boy Scout on the Capitol steps, interjected: “We reserve the right to subtract as well.” The mural started as a mirror of 1970s Austin counterculture, featuring figures such as musician Johnny Winter, comic book character Oat Willie and Roland DeNoie, the Salvation Sandwiches vendor who famously sparred with UT and city officials. The mural reflected a time when that stretch of the Drag “was the center of the universe,” Awn said, alongside a thriving artists’ market and the church basement where the People’s Community Clinic (previously the People’s Free Clinic) got its start. But the mural was no time capsule. New figures were added with each restoration, including former Gov. Ann Richards and former U.S. Rep. Barbara Jordan (peering out windows in the Capitol), actor Matthew McConaughey (naked with a bongo drum), cartoon character Hank Hill (on his riding mower), and the late American-Statesman humor columnist John Kelso (in his typical tropical print shirt). The mural changes, Bauman said, “because Austin changes.” At the outset, none of the artists expected the mural to last this long. They have lives and commitments elsewhere. They’re proud of this mural, but they can’t tend to it each time a vandal strikes. If this is a cherished Austin landmark – and there’s no doubt it is – then it needs greater community ownership. Kelli Hanks, director of operations for the University Co-Op (which owns the wall and provides the paint for restorations), told me she’s brainstorming possible partnerships for UT art students or someone else to make any future repairs when needed.
Meanwhile, documentary filmmaker Mike Woolf launched a stunning interactive website last year (23rdstreetmural. com) to preserve some of the stories of characters in the mural. But there are more stories to tell, and sponsors are needed to underwrite that work. “These three guys are part of the reason (Austin) was cool in the first place,” Woolf told me Monday afternoon, as we watched Awn, Bauman and Turner bring the mural back to life, one brushstroke at a time. Though Turner lives the farthest away, he returns to Austin about once a year. He can tell the speed of change is accelerating. But when he visits, he stays on his sister’s 2.5-acre tract near Mueller in an Airstream trailer among a few older cottages that can accommodate all kinds of guests. Turner smiled. “It’s very much like old hippie Austin,” he said.
