I was married. He was not. I was in lust with him. He treated me like a kid sister. I wanted to do things, forbidden things, which married women were not supposed to think about, let alone do.
I climbed into bed, my limbs filled with sadness, making them heavy. A solitaire tear fell from my eye, slid down my cheek, and I made myself comfortable in bed. Pulling the blanket around me, I rolled onto my side, curling into my pillow. My mind became hazy as I laid there. My eyes slowly closed, and I sighed deeply as I sank into the darkness of slumber.
'Floating...that's what I feel like I am doing', I thought to myself. Blinking rapidly, the room became more focused, and I looked around, checking out my surroundings. I walked toward the hallway in front of me, stepping lightly. Approaching a doorway on my left, I slowed my pace, and carefully peeked around the corner.
There he was. Lying in his bed; naked. His comforter was entangled in his legs, exposing most of his body. I let her eyes wander over his sleeping form. I seen him as the real man he was, not some ideal figure I had developed in my mind. I took in his flaws, becoming aroused by the frankness of his nudity.
I silently stepped into his room, avoiding a pile of clothes, his wallet, and loose change. I reached out, running my fingers above his brow, careful not to touch him, for fear of waking him and spoiling the moment.
He snored quietly and rolled his head, facing me. I jerked my hand back, suddenly afraid. Watching him, waiting to see if he woke, I held her breathe. After a few minutes, he seemed to be sleeping deeply again.
Stepping close to the bed, my shins touched the metal frame. I bent over at the waist and lightly brushed my lips across his forehead. Moving down to his eyes, I kissed them each in turn, and then traveled to his nose, then his lips. Touching my tongue to his lips I tasted him. His mouth opened slightly, and I deepened the kiss.
Trepidation stayed within me. I was terrified that he would fully wake, and the moment would be gone. This was my moment, my time. I couldn't live if it was cut short, not allowed to fully evolve.
Pulling slightly back, I took note of his sleeping form. Even though the kiss had deepened, and his response was obvious, he did not seem to wake. I leaned in to test the waters further, kissing him again, more fully.
He moaned into my mouth, and other than our lips moving in unison, no other part of him budged. As moments passed, I grew braver. I pulled back again, and lifted the nightshirt I wore over my head, dropping it in a heap on the floor.
