She took a shower after he left. Tired and pleasantly tingling all over, she laid down on the bed. 'Just for a few minutes,' she told herself. But a few minutes turned into several hours and she slept deeply. Normally, a light sleeper, she never noticed her lover standing in the doorway watching her sleep.
His eyes roamed over her body. She lay facing him, her expression peaceful and content. Her damp hair waved and curled over her shoulders and the pillows in a dark riot. The setting sun peeking through the curtains lit her hair from behind, glinting red and copper. She'd pulled a thin sheet over herself as she'd lain down and it covered her from just under her arms to the tips of her toes. One foot peeked out from under the sheet, her toenails painted a vibrant red. Still, as his eyes slowly wandered over her, he could tell she'd fallen asleep in nothing more than what she'd been born wearing.
As he watched her, she moved in her sleep. Her lips parted and she sighed contentedly. He licked his own lips, his breath caught in his throat, as she turned to face him more. Her arms reached out and embraced the pillow next to her. In the process of turning over, the sheet slipped down, baring one of her breasts to his appreciative gaze. Her body curled up next to the pillow in a position he found achingly familiar. He'd woken up that very morning with her arms around him that same way: her head pillowed on his chest, one hand on his shoulder, one leg draped over his.
He crossed the room quietly, coming around the bed to sit behind her. She murmured softly in her sleep as the side of the bed dipped under his weight. From the back, the sheet covered far less, and his eyes followed the line of her spine as he tenderly ran one finger from the back of her neck down to her waist. He watched her body react to his touch. Even in her sleep, she arched into his hand, murmuring softly.
He leaned over and gently swept her hair off her face. He took her earlobe into his mouth and sucked on it for a moment as his hand slid around her waist to settle on her bare stomach. She gasped softly and, still dreaming, tilted her head, offering up the column of her neck and the ear he had already captured. His teeth grazed over the tender skin of her earlobe as he pulled away and whispered softly in her ear.
"Hi baby. Did you miss me while I was gone?" The words were said softly, directly into the shell of her ear. His warm breath on her skin and the sound of his voice woke her. She smiled languidly and reached down to wrap his arm tighter around her waist. Her answer came in the form of a throaty hum as she moved her body closer to him.
When she finally spoke, her voice was husky with sleep. "You're home," she murmured.
"Uh huh," he kissed her neck.
"Mmmmmmm. Good. I never wanted you to leave this morning."
He smiled into the curve of her neck. "Neither did I, but I had to go into work." His hand slid higher, curving around one of her breasts. "Did you have a good day while I was gone?"
"Mmm hmm," she replied. "Got everything done I needed to. Even had time for..."
"A nap?" he teased gently. She nodded and his hand dipped lower, running over her stomach and between her legs. His fingers rested just over the smooth skin of her pussy. "Did you have time for anything else today while I was away?"
"No," she said as his fingers teased her lazily. They dipped even lower, into her, causing her to inhale sharply. The tips of his fingers came back wet and he brought them to his mouth, tasting her.
"Oh really?" he asked as he licked her juices off his fingers. "You wouldn't be lying, would you? Cause you know what happens when you lie, don't you?"
She shivered and closed her eyes, remembering past "punishments" and turned over to face him. "No, I'm not lying. You asked me this morning? to keep my hands to myself and I have."
His hand trailed over her body again, his finger dipping back into her. He brought his hand up and rubbed his finger over her mouth, covering her lips with her own wetness. Her tongue snaked out to flick over the tip of his finger and her lips, moaning at the sweetness. He groaned softly as he watched her tongue slip from between her parted lips and felt it swipe over the pad of his finger. She stared at his face as she sucked his finger between her lips, and he groaned again. "Are you sure?" he asked her again.
"Mmm... positive." He took his finger out of her mouth and ran it down her chin and throat as she kept talking. "I was having the most wonderful dream when you woke me up."
"And what were you dreaming about baby?"
She grinned. "Last night. This morning. Woke up feeling so..." She stared at his face, her expression so amused.
"Mmmm... I know exactly what you were feeling, baby," he grinned. His hand roamed lower again, cupping her breast again. "So you didn't touch my pussy while I was gone?" He noticed her expression changed slightly and her asked her again, "Did you?" He teased her nipple between his thumb and forefinger as he spoke.
She exhaled, shuddering at the pleasure that shot through her body. She locked eyes with him. "Only as much as I had to when I took my shower."
