As the first tinge of pink lightens the sky and creeps through the window shade, Gypsy’s eyes open. With her first movement, she encounters a body in her bed. She smiles, then smiles even more broadly, remembering why there’s a body in her bed! Yes! This is the stuff of which her dreams are made. She is living a dream and has been since yesterday.
Tommy slumbers on, unaware of her yet, the quiet sussurations of his breath unchanged. Gypsy slowly and quietly slips from bed, and freshens up, then returns, slipping her body into bed and moving close to him to touch his body. Inch by inch she molds her softnesses to his sleep-heated skin. Gypsy is in heaven or as close as a mere mortal can be.
As she contemplates him, loving each part of Tommy on which her eyes focus, she begins to gently stroke him, her front to his side. Her hand strokes his arms, his shoulders, the accessible parts of him. Then moves lower to his flanks, the slight flare of his hip from his waist, to the swell of his buttocks. Her moving hand is slipping into his unconscious mind, dragging him upward from the shores of Lethe, as his breath changes and then settles back to a peaceful rhythm.
