After our crazy trip to Solana Beach, Karin and I got back to her apartment around 2AM. Our clothes were still damp. We stripped, draped them on her balcony furniture to air dry and climbed into bed together, completely spent from our adventure.
Strangely at ease with each other, we did a little cuddling, a little kissing, but nothing more as we fell asleep in each other's arms, knowing that tomorrow was going to allow both us to stretch our boundaries further.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wake to Karin, nudging my shoulder. "Hey sleepy head, time to wake up. Don't you have to return your sexy date car?"
She's sitting cross legged, with a cup of tea in her hand. She offers it to me.
I sit up, across from her, folding my legs into a half lotus. I accept the tea with both hands, the cup is warm. She takes another cup from a bamboo tray at the foot of the bed and blows it a bit before taking a sip. She looks at me over the rim of her cup as I do the same.
The tea is English style with milk and a touch of sugar. It tastes delicious and clears my dry, sleep fouled palate.
"Thanks, this is delicious."
I sit there, glad that I am sober. If I had to sort through last night on a hangover, I would be lost. Karin is not in recovery, but she didn't drink last night either, so whatever each of us felt and did was with a "clear" head. And for me at least, it qualified as the wildest night I have ever had with a woman.
As I begin playing the night back in my head, I touch my neck where the broken capillaries from two hickeys still throb a bit and are tender to the touch.
"Oops!" Karin emits something between a giggle and a full laugh, covering her mouth like a shy geisha. Setting her cup back onto the tray, she moves the tray to a bench at the foot of the bed. She scrambles closer, leans into me and gently kisses each hickey.
"Now, you kiss mine." She pulls her hair back and shows me the love mark I left on her. Her fair porcelain complexion is in stark contrast to the dark purple and burgundy welt from the hickey I apparently gave her last night. I have no recollection of doing so and my stomach flips a bit when I see it.
"Shit, I am so sorry, I actually have no memory of doing that."
"Don't be. I loved it then and still do. It has a nice ache to the touch, it reminds me of you. But please kiss it anyway."
I bend my head and let my lips softly caress the wound I made. Karin shivers slightly.
"Thank you, for both."
She then lays her head on my shoulder, nuzzling my ear with her nose. "You were amazing last night, what an incredible surprise."
"It certainly wasn't the night I had in mind."
"So just what did you have in mind?"
"I thought I would impress you with the cool car and gradually work up the courage to let you know how I felt on the ride down. Then I would dance with you at the show and finally make love at your apartment or mine. As you know, I was a bit scared of rejection and I know that I did not handle the first move too well."
"You want to know what I had planned?"
"Yeah, I would like that."
She lies down on her back and lays her head in my lap, looking up at me.
"As you know, I had the hots for you, even though you seemed to be stone blind to my attempts to convey that. I was planning on dancing up on you, pretty much like we ended up doing at the show. Well, maybe not quite that much. If that did not work, I was just going to ask you to fuck me when we got back to LA. Sort of boring, huh?"
"I think I prefer reality to either of our plans. They are both pretty vanilla in comparison."
"What does a straight ex hippie like you know about vanilla vs kink ............ oh wait, you were the guy who put his tongue inside my ass last night! Yeah, I like the reality better too. So are you still into the covenant we made last night?"
"You mean spending the weekend together, more or less without our clothes on and letting our freak flags fly? Yes, I like the idea of hanging out with you and just seeing where things go. I have a hunch that we could really surprise each other some more."
"Yup, I agree. For a reserved, cold, fucked up AA guy, once you loosen up, you are fun to hang out with. Hey, by the way, have you noticed that we both have some serious BO going.............and my piss seems to be lingering a bit........................"
She is a bit hesitant about actually stating an opinion.
I am a bit hesitant too................... "Yeah about that.........."
I am not sure what to say, because I noticed it when I first woke and actually liked it. But we are doing so well right now, I don't want say the wrong thing, go too far.........Oh, what the fuck, she was the one who pissed!
"Karin, it turns me on. I already knew I liked body odor and I now know I like the smell of piss on me. At least your piss."
"You should get a whiff of what I am smelling down here. Mmmmmhhhhh, it is funky yummy! Tim, we are going to do just fine. And I think you are already a bit freakier than you know or admit."
"Hey, anything to save water!"
Karin laughs and goes on. "There are a few other ways that I am different and just don't want to freak you out."
"I am not sure what could freak me out after last night."
"Well, to start with, I like to get a little rough."
