As he stumbled up the stairs, Damon saw that the second floor had four separate bedrooms leading off of a large landing; he also noticed a full bathroom. The bedrooms were not all used as such; he could see that one of them had an extensive library of books, while another seemed to be full of Iris's clothes (don't they call that a boudoir?). The thought of burying his face in her skirts, blouses, dresses, and underwear flitted through his mind, but he was more interested in where his inamorata was heading at this moment. She had actually disappeared from sight.
But it took him only a moment to notice that she had entered what appeared to be the largest of the bedrooms. It was clearly
her
bedroom, and he smiled at the fact that it contained a king-size four-poster bed of antique vintage. It both amused and saddened him to picture her spending night after night alone in that immense bed, all by herself.
She had her back to the door, and she was slowly and carefully removing her clothing.
The blouse had already come off, and Iris was now paying close attention to removing the button at the side of her wool skirt, which when undone exposed a zipper that she calmly unzipped. Now loose, the skirt fell to the floor, and she daintily stepped out of it. She was now dressed only in bra and panties.
She turned her head around as she noticed Damon in the doorway, then returned to her task. With her back still turned, she reached behind herself, unclasped her bra, and shimmied out of it, placing it on a nearby easy chair. Then, with only a moment's hesitation, she peeled off her panties.
Only then did she turn around and face her lover.
Once again there was a curious mix of emotions on her face: agitation, apprehension, but also quite a bit of pride. And she had a lot to be proud of.
It was to be expected that Damon's gaze would focus initially on her breastsāfull and round but incredibly firm and high, as if they belonged to a well-endowed teenager. The flat stomach led to that achingly exquisite mound at her groin, covered with a thick tuft of fine black hair that had clearly never experienced the touch of a razor. He nodded approvingly at the sight, grateful that the mania for shaving that spot appeared to be dissipating among young women. He had already relished the luscious curves of her bottom when she had turned his back to him. But Damon was not one to gauge a woman as a mere collection of body parts; the total pictureāmental and emotional as well as physicalāis what enraptured him, and the image of mature but somehow untouched womanhood that met his eyes was beyond description.
It was no surprise that his member was firming up again even after its recent spasm. Iris gave its burgeoning contours a brief glance, then smiled quietly to herself.
Did I do that?
Damon walked stiffly into the room and opened his arms. Iris met him halfway and allowed herself to be enfolded in his grasp.
For minutes they did nothing but cling to each other, glorying in the heavenly sensation of skin on skin. Those heavy breasts really were as firm as he had imagined, and they pressed against his chest in the most delightful way. Because of their difference in height, their genitals didn't quite line up; while Damon's erection pressed against her belly, Iris's pubic hairs tickled his upper thighs. And he took occasion to stroke and knead her lovely bottom, finding it as superb as she had found his during her oral stimulation of his member.
Then she raised her face up in a mute request. He knew exactly what she wanted, and he fused his lips with hers, gently but emphatically, in a kiss that seemed to last an eternity.
He then led her to the bed, urging her to lie down on her back. She tossed the bedsheet and blanket away and arranged herself, looking up at him without the least embarrassment or trepidation. Remarkably, her breasts flattened only a little when she was in this supine position, and as Damon joined her he felt compelled to pay homage to those gorgeous globes with his hands, mouth, and tongue. He couldn't begin to explain to himself why these mounds of flesh, nerves, and fat carried such a symbolic weight for himāas they did for nearly all menābut he dimly recognized that it was far more than some faint remembrance of the nourishment we all derive from our mothers. There was something about a woman's breasts that, in some utterly inexplicable way, exuded a sense of comfort and refuge from the burdens of the world; and as Damon placed his face on the area between her breasts and pressed the two mounds against either side of his face, he exhaled with deep gratitude that nature had fashioned such a simple but profound haven for weary mankind.
His hands, however, were not idle, and at times he let one hand snake down to her groin and, parting her labia, rub the swelling nub he found there. She moaned softly in responseāthen moaned more loudly when he simultaneously stroked her clitoris and nuzzled one of her nipples. Her juices were flowing again, and Damon recognized that the time had come for the ultimate act of physical and spiritual union.
So he mounted her.
Parting her legs and placing his body between them, he rode up her frame and, propping himself up on his elbows, looked her right in the face. Her own expression had turned curiously blank, but he was troubled by a hint of alarm he saw there. But he sensed her hesitantly encouraging him to proceed, raising her legs and bending her knees in anticipation of his penetration of her.
He did not need a hand to guide his member into her.
But as he slipped in, she let out a choked cry that startled him.
Surely . . .?
He seemed to encounter an obstacle, but then felt it give way as he entered her nearly the whole way. She gasped at the sensation, and he could only assume that it had been quite a while since she had undergone this act. That's all it was, wasn't it?
Now lodged firmly inside her, sensing ecstatically her warm wetness coating his organ, he began pumpingāgently at first, then more vigorously. She had closed her eyes and her mouth, and there was a bit of a frown on her face. Damon tried to ignore that while he kissed her all over her face, neck, and shoulders. He could feel her arms clinging frantically to his neck as she endured his thrusts, and she uttered a hoarse grunt when he slid a hand down to her bottom and seized one of her cheeks. That hand then slipped between their bodies and in the direction of her sex, and he stroked her labia as he detected his cock pounding her. She seemed taken aback at his action: her eyes popped open and then, after some peculiar sounds from deep in her throat, she burst forth with a succession of shrill cries that coincided with a tremor that appeared to seize her entire body.
Damon was delighted.
Here's a woman who comes early and often!
He found the act of making a woman come even more thrilling than coming himself, because he sensed that women were even more responsive to such stimulus than men were. It wasn't merely that they responded to stroking of their pussies, bottoms, and breasts; they also derived pleasure from kisses or caresses to their neck, throat, back, and elsewhere. He recalled making one girl come by kissing and licking her fragrant armpit.
As he gazed down at Iris's orgasm, he slowed his own pumping to let her enjoy to the full the unexpected sensation she was experiencing. He was not at all ready to come, but he knew that too violent action on his part at this delicate moment would spoil the ecstasy Iris was feeling. After she relaxed a bit, he resumed his work and, moments later, had bestowed upon her the ultimate tribute to her beauty of mind, body, and spirit.
As before, his emission was prolonged and copious, and she uttered repeated cries as she sensed more and more of his juices filling her crevice. After what seemed like minutes, he collapsed on top of her, momentarily heedless of the heavy weight he was putting on her. But she didn't seem to mind, and continued to wrap her arms around him to keep him in place.
But after a time she did feel that his weight was a bit uncomfortable, and she urged him to pull out of her and get off.
As he rolled over, he seized her body and draped it over his own. He was not one to eschew physical contact even after his climax was over. She cradled her head in the crook of his neck, and he could feel her heart beating rapidly next to his own.
Even now, he knew this was only the beginning, and he just hoped that in due course of time she would be ready for further intimacy.
As he played with a lock of her thick-stranded hair, he chuckled softly to himself. "You know, dear, I had a bit of difficulty getting in. I almost thought you were a virginābut of course that's ridiculous." He gave out a genial laugh.
"No, I'm not a virgin," was all she said. There was an inexpressible subtext behind that simple sentence. Shouldn't she have laughed at the very idea that a cultivated, sophisticated thirty-two-year-old woman in the prime of her beauty and intellectual achievement could even for a moment be considered a virgin? She must have had a dozen or more lovers in the past, however celibate she may have been in recent years. But the way she said those words made it sound as if she was regretful that she
wasn't
a virgin.
Damon had had a few virgins in his own past (not recently, however); and he wasn't so full of himself that he believed Iris was somehow hoping she could have preserved herself intact for
him.
There were mysteries here that he was determined to fathom, even if it took the most delicate coaxing to worm them out of her.
But right now there were more pressing things on his mindāand on hers.
Suddenly propping herself up on his chest, she cried: "Oh, Damon, what have we done? This is wrongāwrong! We should never haveā"
"Why is it wrong?" he said ingenuously.
"Come off it, Damon! You're a student and I'm a teacher! Do you know what kind of trouble I could get into if this ever got out? I'd be fired immediately. You know the kind of climate we're living in right now: if a professor so much as
touches
a student, there's all manner of hell to pay. And in fact there
should
be: teachers and other people in authority got away with far too much in the past, especially men preying upon young and vulnerable women. This isn't like that, but we could still face all sorts of repercussions if people found out."
"I won't tell anyone," he said simply. (No doubt Damon meant those words quite sincerely when he spoke them, but in the end he didn't follow through on them.)
He had never seen her so agitated, and he wanted to do everything he could to soothe her. With his large and supple hands he began massaging her shoulders and back, straying down to her bottom; he sensed tightness in all those areas, and his ministrations did seem to have the effect of quieting her down. She flopped back onto his chest, not so much relieved as merely resigned.
What's done is done; there's no way I can pretend that this gorgeous young man didn't probe my body in the most intimate way.
