I squeezed him so tightly that my body shook. “I can’t wait.”

SUBJECT: Good night
Kate,
I have a confession. The most gorgeous woman just fell asleep in my arms. I hope that doesn’t make you jealous. I had plans to let her seduce me, but my captivating conversation lulled her to sleep. What can I say? I’m a real Casanova.
I’m afraid to move, lest I disturb her. I’m still in the clothes I wore last night, don’t worry.
Kate. You’re here. I cannot believe I’m really holding you.
I’m sorry I didn’t tell you everything sooner. Listening to you sleep is the most soothing sound I’ve ever heard. To think, if I hadn’t been so scared, we could have …
No matter that. We are here now. I’m glad I finally shared with you. I’m thankful for this time together. I’m sorry I waited this long.
Love,
Charlie. Therealreal Charlie.
PS: You just rubbed your sweet body up against mine. I better go to sleep before my hands start wandering …

Charlie
Kate was wrappedaround my chest, and I didn’t have to leave. I could lie with her all night and watch her sleep. In a very normal, non-creepy way. I pulled off her glasses and set them on the side table, smoothing back the hair that snagged when I tugged them off.
She was so beautiful. The smooth line of her jaw leading down to her neck to a bare shoulder my oversized shirt had exposed. Her thick lashes and dark freckles. Her chest rising and falling in sleep. She trusted me enough to let me be this close to her.
Sharing those pictures slid in some final missing piece in my heart. I was deeply in love with Kate. I’d denied the truth to myself for far too long.
I wanted her to know everything about my sad little life. I had finally shared everything with her, and she’d been in awe as if the details were special to her.
How could I go back to Devon without her? There was nothing else for me. I almost slipped up and said that I imagined that upstairs room as her writing office. I wasn’t even sure how long I’d been imaging her in my life. Since our lunch together? Since our email exchanges started? My love for her felt brand new but also destined. Just started yet infinite. I was a fool to have lied to myself for so long. Why would I have saved all these photos to share with her if I hadn’t already understood that on a core level?
She said she wanted the cozy cottage life. She would fit in perfectly. She said she wanted to visit but that wouldn’t be enough.
At some point, I fell asleep because I woke up heated and hard. Fuzzy and not fully conscious, I couldn’t help how my body reached for her even in sleep. I had pulled her back to my chest, and my free hand lay heavy on her hip even as she arched into my hard prick. I traced up and down her beautiful waist, down to her thigh, moving aside my shirt, and brushing her knickers. Tiny goose bumps formed on her skin under my palms. My eyes were still closed, so I could sense that the room was no longer completely dark, but I had no idea how early or late it was.
She sighed softly.
“Is this okay?” I asked, stilling my hand against her stomach.
“Yes,” she breathed out. I nudged her ear with my nose, moving her hair to pepper soft kisses over her neck. She smelled delicious all warmed up with sleep.
She grabbed my hand and slid it under my shirt to her breast directing me to squeeze her. I grinned at her eagerness, gently rolling her nipple and coaxing moans out of her. My hand was large enough that I could reach around and hold both of her tits. I squeezed her whole body tight to mine, loving that every inch of her was touching me. I wanted to hold her tight to me, engulf her. She moaned, pressing herself even harder against my cock.
I finally blinked open my eyes to find the room was filled with soft morning light even though the clock told me it was barely past six a.m. We’d hardly slept. Kate quickly shimmied out of her knickers and snapped to sit upright. She pulled off her top and tossed it to the corner. She sat on her knees, unabashedly exposing herself to me.
She was glorious. My eyes couldn’t decide where to look first.
“Charlie?”
