Eleven Days: An Unexpected Love (24 page)

He stood up and kissed
her
forehead and said. "Go ahead and I'll be right behind you. I will double check the door and windows, and put away the pizza."

The more he walked around the more turned on
she
got.
She
realized
she
's not quite as sleepy anymore.
Her
body ached for him.

He brushed
his
teeth and walked over to
her
and sat on the edge of the bed,
her
side of the bed, grinning.
She
smiled back not knowing what he had planned.

Emotions were aroused in
her
and
she
adjusted herself on the bed to get a better look of
his
manhood. He obliged by turning towards
her
and spreading
his
legs just a little, and he unknowingly gave
her
what
she
wanted most, a peek.
She
wanted to make love to him, but
her
shyness overwhelmed
her
and
she
decided to let him lead the way.
She
hasn't been
with
a man since
her
husband and
she
was
n't sure of
his
experience, but
she
was
sure he had more than
her
. No way could he convince
her
he's been practicing abstinence, not
with
his
body.

He had different thoughts. To
her
surprise he went to the closet and got out a guitar. He played romantic songs from
several
decades. Mike had an incredible voice, and
she
knew
that
from him singing in the truck.
Her
favorite song
was
Feels So Right
. He also played some songs famous by Sam Cooke
You Send Me
; Percy Sledge
When a Man Loves a Woman
.

She
could have listened to him all night, except for tonight.
She
had other plans for him. By now
she
was
fully awake and anticipated the rest of the night.

He laid
his
guitar against the wall and reached over and plugged
her
ipod in the radio. He tuned it in the blues section, some soft romantic blues.
Lana
enjoyed listening
to the blues
while cooking and drinking a glass of wine.

"How did you know I had the blues on my ipod?"

"I looked through it when you took a bath and I like the blues too. You have Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, and best of the soft blues. I haven't heard these particular tracks but I thought it might be appropriate for tonight." He turned off the light and focused solely on
Lana
.

As the music played he slowly caressed
her
breasts and touched
her
nipples
with
a slight squeeze. As he slipped
her
t-shirt off he saw the perkiness of
her
breasts silhouetted by the dim light
that
peaked through the cracks of the drapes.
He wished he had
opened the drapes fully. The light
would
have been brighter, and he
would
have
had
a better view.

She
wiggled under
his
caress.
Her
lips parted and an uncontrollable moaning escaped
her
body.
She
led
his
hand between
her
legs and the wet warmth sent shivers through both their bodies.

Their bodies moved
with
the rhythm of the songs and their hands eagerly searched for sacred parts of their bodies. Parts
that
were there for the taking, and they touched every inch.
She
put
her
arms around him and gave him an erotic kiss. He responded by wrapping
his
arms around
her
and pulling
her
close enough to feel
his
stiffness.

He breathlessly moaned. "Baby I love you so much. Tonight is yours and I want you to enjoy every minute."

"Mike, shut up and make love to me,"
she
anxiously pled, wanting more, wanting every ounce of him.

He reached down and kissed
her
so intimately and tenderly
that
it took
her
breath away
.
"Baby, I want you more than I have ever wanted anyone, ever."

"Oh Mike," were the only words
she
could muster.

He rolled
her
on
her
back and touched every part of
her
body, and
her
body wanted more.
His
caresses started on
her
side and worked
his
hands down
her
buttocks, between
her
legs and then back up to
her
breasts.
She
gasped and wiggled
with
his
touch.

Her
hands
glide
d
over
his
strong arms and chest, and
she
wanted to see him naked. He obliged by rolling over onto
his
back.
My God, he's beautiful.

They touched places
that
were new to them, and inviting. Their bodies lacked in perfection but not in desirability. They obviously weren't twenty year olds, but they acted like it. Actually sex
was
immensely better because they knew what they desired and how to get it. Experimenting
with
their bodies
had developed
at an entirely different level, a mature level, a level of mastery.

When they were both ready, he w
his
pered in
her
ear. "Baby, I want you so much."

She
answered him
with
her
hands.
Her
entire body quivered
with
every thrust, and
she
had never felt such ecstasy.

When they finished he laid on top for a couple of minutes just caressing
her
face and kissing
her
gently. The kisses were to tell
her
he loved
her
.

They both
relished every second of the mo
ment. Life couldn't be better
with
the sound of the fierce ocean along
with
the soft blues music.
She
never wanted to forget what just happened.

He rolled over and pulled
her
to
his
chest. "
Lana
, I love you so much."

"I love you too." And
she
meant those words from the depths of
her
soul.
She
felt
completely fulfilled and exhausted.

"Tomorrow baby I'm going to spend every second
with
you," he said as he kissed
her
softly on the lips. "Goodnight my love."

"Goodnight."
Her
last thoughts were
she
had never told anyone
she
loved them since
her
husband. T
his
week had been momentous.

Day 6

October 20 4:32 a.m.

She
forgot where
she
was
for a few minutes.
She
pulled
her
arms out from under the blankets and realized how cold it
was
outside the covers. But
warm and comfy snuggled
under the several layers of blankets. It's amazing how life looked so wonderful in the morning after a great night sleep and great sex.
She
smiled thinking about the unequivocal pleasures last night. Lazily
she
rolled over to ogle Mike. To
her
surprise he
happen to be staring
right at
her
and
she
jumped, startled. "Honey, what are you doing?"
She
asked.

"Watching you sleep. And the answer to your next question, I've been watching you for about twenty minutes. You're pretty cute when you sleep,
with
a little drool running down your chin."

She
was
aggravated at him. "Why didn't you wake me? We could have snuggled sooner."

"Babe we have a lifetime for
that
, and you looked
so cute sleeping. Plus I knew you needed the rest." Even
with
all
that
has happened he knew
she
would
sleep sound
with
him there to protect
her
. By watching
her
t
his
morning, he knew he
was
right.

She
wrapped
her
arms around him and snuggled in close.

"You know what babe?" He asked while caressing
her
beautiful face.

"What?"
She
answered closing
her
eyes enjoying
his
touch.

"I know it is cold outside, but the ocean is so beautiful at sunrise. Let's get up and go for a walk. I'm not talking a long walk, but just maybe the length of a football field. The sun coming up in
the morning is incredible and I want
to share
that
with
you. Do you remember the beautiful sunset when you drove up the other night? The sunrise is just as beautiful."

"Yes, I
was
in awe. I
would
love to go for a walk
with
you. But only if you get a fire going and you fix the heater,
that
way we come into a warm house." Never did
her
hands stop caressing him.

He pulled
her
close and kissed
her
. "
That
's a deal. But first let's create our own heat."

*****

She
finished getting ready for their invigorating walk
with
layers of clothing. Mike looked at
her
and laughed. "You look like a blue Pillsbury dough boy." Everything on
her
was
bundled up except the middle of
her
face.

"I feel like him too. We better hope I don't fall, I may never get up,"
she
giggling.
She
didn't have any gloves so
she
had to
keep
her
hands in
her
pockets or Mike's. He had fewer layers on, but the layers were thick. The lining in
his
jacket
was
a heavy fleece. He had on long johns and a sweater.
Lana
had two pairs of pants, three shirts,
her
coat and Mike's coat.

Walking outside
was
a cold shock, especially once they left the protection of the porch. Neither one of them could see much. In the distance
they saw
an orange sliver of a line. Obviously it
was
the sun, but it
was
n't going to help them see, not yet. The sun woke up and crept into the new day, an inch at a time. As it rose it looked like it
peaked
over the ends of the earth, yawning. The tip of the sun looked so close. If they stretched their fingers they could touch it. The many clouds in the sky played peek-a-boo
with
it, but the sun
rose
so majestic
ally
it didn't pay any attention to the clouds.
