This is my first attempt at writing an erotic story. Any feedback will be welcome. Thanks for reading!
Megan slowly crept into the room to the side of the bed and gently touched Paulâs blond hair. Slowly she ran her fingertips down the side of his face. Paul opened his eyes and smiled at her and then slowly closed his eyes. It was nearly one in the morning and although she hated to wake him, it was necessary to nudge him every hour or so.
She thought back to the events of the evening Megan though how vulnerable he looked lying on the football field, not moving. Her sixth sense told her he was hurt, she wasnât sure how bad. She agonized for several minutes before Paul sat up and was helped to the sidelines by the trainer. Megan was on the sidelines as a press photographer during the game and even though she was able to walk over to where the trainerâs were working on Paul, she stayed away. She told herself it was so she wouldnât be in the way, but in reality she was fearful of seeing him hurt.
She looked again at Paul sleeping and smiled. Fortunately tonight he suffered from a mild concussion and he would be fine. The doctor at he hospital released him with instructions to wake him every hour or so and make sure he knew his name and what happened to him.
It was nearly one thirty now and Megan was feeling rummy from stress of the evening and from the lack of sleep. Soon it would be time to nudge Paul again. Just enough time for a quick shower to see if she can keep herself awake. Megan slowly crept out of the room, leaving the door ajar and headed for a shower.
Paul had been living in a two-bedroom hotel suite for the past couple of weeks while he prepared to play in the annual all-star game. He had developed into an outstanding football player sot out by most Division I college football programs. He was still undecided on a college. The one that appealed to him the most was State College in Portland. It was something he had yet to talk to Megan about.
Paul was a unique person. A domineering mother who had been married and divorced five times by his 14th birthday raised him. The abuse Paul suffered was awful, not only physical but also mental abuse. Paul would show up at school with bruises or black eyes and tell people he fell down or ran into something.
Paul spent most of his free time with Megan and away from his mother. His mother drank excessively and wasnât awake when he would slip out the back door and over to Meganâs back yard. He would stay out watching TV with her and her parents or doing homework until it was bedtime. Meganâs parents we aware of some of the bad things that happened to Paul and did everything they could to help him see how a family is supposed to be. The kindness Meganâs parents showed Paul helped him grow to believe in himself. Even though he was only 19, he like Megan was mature beyond his years.
Megan lived a much different life, in a happy home with loving parents. Tragedy struck her during the summer between her junior and senior year in high school when she lost her parents. While Megan leaned on Paul for emotional support, she also learned to believe in herself. Megan planned to attend State College and to become a photojournalist. Photography was her first love. Megan was creative and had a wonderful eye behind the camera lens. She, like Paul also excelled at athletics. She was an outstanding basketball player and also ran track. Although she was much smaller than Paul at about five six, she could dribble the ball around him in circles.
The hot water felt good to Megan as she stood in the shower, she started to feel some of the tension leave her body. She knew Paul would be fine in the morning, but she worried non-the less. She remembered giving him a bad time when she tucked him into bed earlier. When she kissed him on the forehead, he gently hugged her and told her he loved her. She kept replaying the exchange over and over in her head. Him kissing her back softly on the lips, telling her he loved her and asking her to marry him. Her telling him he must have been hit on the head harder than anyone thought. Him telling her he was serious and he would ask her again in the morning. She turning the light out and telling his shhhhhh, go to sleepâŚ..
As Megan stood in the shower, she knew she loved him she, couldnât help but hope Paul was serious. Megan turned off the shower, dried herself,finding something to sleep in would be a different story. She hadnât gone home after the game, but straight to the hospital with Paul and then to the hotel. She wrapped herself in a large robe and used the blow dryer to partially dry her hair.
Paul was soundly sleeping when Megan tiptoed into the bedroom and sat on the side of the bed. Only the muted light from the living room of the hotel suite illuminated the room. Again she touched his hair and gently stroked the side of his face. Paul stirred once again and opened his eyes. He reached up and touched Meganâs face with is hand, smiled once again. Megan felt her heart skip a beat as she brought her hand up to his and gently squeezed.
âAre you cold Megan? Youâre shivering!â
She realized the air conditioning was running the room was chilly. âA littleâ.
Paul pulled the bedding back. âHere, climb in and get warmâ.
âI donât know Paul, can you be trusted?â She jokingly said.
âI think you have the advantage on me.â Paul responded.
Megan climbed under the covers and pulled them up around her neck trying to get warm. Paul drifted back to sleep once again. Megan slowly drifted off to a restless half sleep/half awake state.
