The sunlight came through the open curtains as soon as the sun was up because of the direction the room faced. We had neglected to close them before collapsing into bed the night before after our sexual marathon. I rolled my head over and looked at the clock β 6:00 A.M..
Sue was lying close to me and I could feel the warmth of her body as she slept. She had moved her head onto a pillow but her arm still rested across my shoulder. I looked over at her. Her hair was in disarray, her makeup all but gone, and she looked radiant in the sunlight. As I turned my head more toward her I caught the smell of her shampoo and perfume mixed with her unique smell even though we had worked up quite a sweat the night before. It lingered in my senses almost like morning mist on the valley floor.
I had to piss badly so I carefully removed her arm and rolled out of bed. Rather than disturb her more I padded through the door to my adjoining room to use my own bathroom. Besides, my toothbrush was in there and, based on the track the barefoot Indians left in my mouth, I really needed it.
I did my thing, brushed my teeth, washed my face and combed my hair. As I turned to leave the bathroom there she was leaning against the door. She had clearly also cleaned up a little. Her hair was combed back and her face had been washed. I assumed her teeth had also been brushed.
"You're really cute in the morning. I liked watching you do all that. Very intimate in a strange way. How about breakfast in bed so we get a little more cuddle time this morning?"
"We need to be downstairs at 8:30 and I am sure everyone will be curious if we don't show up at the communal table for breakfast considering we left together last night. As much as I would prefer breakfast in bed with you, let's save that for when we have enough time to really enjoy it. OK?"
"You are, of course, right. I don't like it that you are, but it's OK. The conference is over tonight and we don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow morning, how about then?"
"Works for me. I'll make the wait worth your while."
"I'll hold you to it. Want to share a shower?" She had his impish grin on her face.
"My goodness girl, you really know how to push my buttons. I love twosome showers."
"I'm sure you do β you dog! Keep the thought." There was a long silence which I did nothing to break. She had something on her mind and I was giving her the space for it. "John, can I be serious for just a minute?"
"Sure" She reached for my hands gripping them lightly in her fingers..
"I had the most glorious time with you last night, from beginning to end, and I would like to continue what we have started and see where it leads us. It is important to me to tell you something though. I don't think it will change anything and it might tell you something important about me. I was a virgin when I woke up yesterday morningβ experienced otherwise β but still a virgin. You couldn't have known because my hymen was surgically removed when I was twelve because of some other problem that is not important. The point is I knew there was someone that would come along out of nowhere and break down my chastity just by being who he was, not by any scheme or long term plan. When I saw you yesterday morning, I really did have those two thoughts. The first was instinctive and the second one was incredibly carnal. I cannot remember ever being so physically attracted to anyone in my entire life. And when I had to sit next to you all day it was impossible to concentrate. It's been like a whirlwind dream since yesterday morning. I don't know what it is about you but I don't want it to stop!"
"Sue, I don't want to sound false in any way. I am a real guy, I don't verbally share my feelings too often, and I already told you I don't lie about anything. And I certainly don't want you to think this gratuitous. I was so attracted to you from your first little smile that there was nothing I wouldn't have done to get to be with you. I wasn't a virgin yesterday and I can tell you, if that is what you were like the first time, I am looking forward to the next time. It was the most intense time I have ever shared."
She looked at me for a long time with a slight smile on her lips. Neither one of us cared that we were standing there naked. It wasn't about sex at that moment. I got lost in her eyes, in the way her hair framed her face, and the way her head was slightly tilted while she gazed back at me.
"Right answer" she said and reached up and cupped my face to kiss me passionately. It ignited both our fires with its intensity.
"Remember that all day." She said breaking for a breath. "It's a promise that I intend on keeping. Now let's get cleaned up. We'll save the twosome shower for later." She turned and went back into her room to clean up and get dressed. I turned for the shower β alone.
Before leaving the rooms we closed the connecting doors but left them both unlocked. We purposely timed our arrivals downstairs to try to avoid any suspicion. We even sat at opposite ends of the table. One of the officers asked if I had gotten all the dirt. I dodged the answer by saying that apparently there was a lot more for me to learn. Sue heard the conversation and shot me a little grin.
The day seemed endless even though we sat next to each other. We both knew how hard we were trying to seem nonchalant but each time one of us would lean over to speak to the other, there would be a touch here and a touch there - arm, hand whatever. It was an electric shock each time.
