She awoke languidly
She heard that word somewhere before
She thought it fit her mood
Comfortably nude
Next to her
He was in a deep slumber
Light snore
She won’t wake him this time
That would be rude
Especially after last night
Well
It started yesterday evening
Maybe it was the quality of the food
Or the way he spoke
Or his eyes
Maybe the way he dressed
Or what he said
Most of it jests
Jokes
To keep her laughing
Or maybe it was his last words at the table
Maybe they said it best
“You’ll never have to worry.
There are no others.
Rest assured
I know your value
Your worth.
I know that I am blessed.
I know in the past small things grew
And split us apart
But this is now
Maturity
That was then
Youth.”
Remembering that part of the evening
She smiled
Looking down
At his sleeping figure again
Seeing
Maybe for the first time
A beautiful man
Must have been
Because of last night
The way he was holding her
Helping her to stand
Leading her to the car
With that look on his face
Holding the door with
Faux elegance
Asking her
“Do I get a kiss at the end of the night
To solidify this romance
Or do we end it on like…”
“Love
Might be better.
I know this lady
Who would love to show you what I mean
If you let her.”
So went
The conversation on the ride home
Was all in good humour
As they reached the living room
Everything was off
Bright lights
Phones
Clothes came next
And as he sat on the couch and watched
She removed her own
He partially undressed
As she came closer
To allow strong arms
To investigate her charms
Touch her curves
Squeezing firmly at some points
Others teasing her nerves
Removing whatever little more
She wore
Inviting her
To tease his core
Feeling ready
She eased on before
He could get up
And from there on
The connection didn’t let up
No matter on
Directions given
No matter where from
And she felt the difference
He was in rare form
Held her close to him
Throughout
So warm
So again she stretched languidly
Remembering the feeling
Healing
Stealing a another glance
She saw eyes watching her
Felt hands touching her
Blood rushing her
Mood matching that of the night before
“You seem happy.”
“Well
I can be happier.”
He heard the hint
And she floated away again
With what came after
