Looking down, one breast, the smaller one, peeped out and she could see his wistful look as he gently pulled her dress back over it.
What?He wasn’t taking this any further…
“You…?”she asked, incredulous.
He smiled, shook his head.“But, but… I want to give back to you.”Bewildered, she pushed up on her elbow and looked at him.
“We will.I promise.Just not now…” He took her fingers and again kissed each one in turn.
“B—but I want to do the same—to give you…”
Yet even as she said it a soporific heaviness was overcoming her senses.Her limbs leaden, her brain delightfully befuddled.
“Very soon.Just not tonight.”
Judith roused herself.“If it’s to do with no condom.I could—”
“Shsssh—” A finger came to his lips.“I’m going to put you to bed then leave you to sleep.”
With effort, she tried to protest again.“Ohh, no-no-no-no.Stay, pleaaasssse.”
“I’ll stay for a while.”
“You can’t drive,” she pleaded.“We drank the whole bottle of wine, you’ll be over the limit.”
He hesitated, stroking the damp hair away from her forehead, his eyes full of tenderness.“Okay, I’ll lie with you.”
She was so sleepy as he put her to bed, barely able to focus.Like a rag doll, she let him peel off her dress and when he pulled back the covers, she sank thankfully down on the mattress.When she felt him spoon into her back and his arms fold around her, she relaxed with a happy sigh.
“It’s an extra-long mattress,” she murmured sleepily.“Plenty of leg room.”
“Perfect,” he whispered, and she felt his lips on the soft skin just below her ear.
“Do you like me?”she mumbled drowsily.The question was unnecessary really, after what Carts had just gifted her; some last vestige of insecurity.
All she heard before slumber took her were the words, “More than you can ever imagine.”
As Carts walked,a gentle rain pattered onto his head and shoulders.The night was balmy, embracing him in a mist that was unusual for Perth in late summer, when usually the air was hot and dry.He lifted his face up to the sky and saw the moon, shadowy and soft behind a veil of clouds.
He felt wonderful, alive—more than alive.Like every cell in his body was vibrating with cosmic energy.
He’d given everything he had to pleasuring Judith, and sure, he’d been aroused (how could he not be), but not to the point where it was out of his control.
Every time he’d got close to the edge, he’d directed the energy back upwards into his heart and given it all to Judith.With every ounce of his being he’d focused on her body’s response, the pulse and rhythm of her build-up and release.
He’d always known that if he couldn’t attract a woman easily, he had to have other skills, and yeah, even when girls didn’t dig him that much, they always told him he was really good at getting them off.
It just seemed he could never quite win their hearts.
Until now.
The realisation that Judith wanted him as much as he wanted her blew him away.It almost overwhelmed him that he could inspire such strong desire in a woman.Here was a completely different image from the one he’d always had of himself.The guy who never quite made the grade.Like a bird with a damaged wing.He might be able to fly, but he’d always be a bit crooked and prone to ungainly landings.
But now he was soaring on the wings of an eagle.In the slipstream, gliding effortlessly.
The Proclaimers song,I’m Gonna Besuddenly sprang into his head.
Because he would, wouldn’t he?He’d walk 500 miles for her, wear the soles off his shoes, worship at her feet.Give her everything he had.
