Katrina's Story.
Day 2.
7.20am
I open my eyes and see Darren lying next to me. After gathering a few thoughts on my location, I remain with my head on my pillow and smile at him before he gently kisses me on the tip of my nose. "Morning babe." he says to me and we instantly hug each other close. Within minutes we both begin to make passionate love.
10.30am
Darren wakes me again. This time he brings a tray with grilled bacon, a scrambled egg and toast. Because there was only fresh orange juice in the house he realised that was the best substitute for my half grapefruit breakfast diet. He made the coffee stronger too because it was instant from a jar. "Aren't you eating anything?" I ask. He tells me he already had breakfast earlier and this was my special treat. But secretly I kept my thoughts to myself and appreciated his efforts. Breakfast in bed is so old fashioned.
11.40pm
I got attached to wearing his shirt around the place and got out of bed to follow him into the bathroom and gave him a squeeze while he was shaving. As I sat on the toilet he started laughing and then told me everything about what I did in the early hours of the morning. I eventually explained myself and my habit of sleepwalking. Playfully I pull the towel from around his waist and flick his butt hard with it. He chases me with another towel and because I'm fast and nippy, I loose him and find a place to hide in the kitchen…….. a neat cupboard where I could squeeze into beside the sink and close the door so that I was undetected. He calls my name out, not thinking about the cupboard, but I remain silent until my giggles give me away. He carries me up stairs and back to the bathroom. We kiss passionately under the spray of the warm shower, before soaping ourselves up and then he let me ride his hips to make love once more.
12.30pm
Darren dressed in shorts and shirt while I remained in my bath robe. The radio played its music and I looked out of the living room window at the rain outside. He put his arms around my waist and hugged me from behind, kissing my neck and nibbling at my earlobe. I could smell his sweet aftershave tantalising my nostrils.
"Guess what?" I said.
"What?"
"I found some old board games in that cupboard over there while I was having a root around."
"Chess?"
"I think so. Do you play chess?" I asked.
I clear the coffee table from all the things that were on it and Darren laid out the game. Red and yellow oriental pieces. "Ay! I wouldn't mind a set like this myself." He said, looking at the detail of each piece. I tap his hand to encourage him to start a game.
I knew he would be good at chess, because most "alpha males" tended to be excellent chess players. So I concentrated really hard using the strategy I learned as a child to out wit his forward moves. I played defensive, but then so was he. We soon got into a stalemate situation having both lost both of our bishops in a kamikaze style set of moves. "I didn't think you would be a chess player." He said. I smiled and watched him pop in yet another piece of gum.
"Look, if you really need a cigarette then I don't mind." I told him. He was fighting an urge, I knew it. He refused for a while but I pressured him by making a startling move. I was playing the game as I was taught. Pressure on the board and also on ones opponent. I was finding his breaking point, distracting his concentration by letting my robe slip open and baring my smooth breasts. "The winner of this game gets to act out their favourite sexual fantasy." I tell him.
1.50pm
Darren makes two mistakes earlier in his moves and I pressure his queen. "You're damn good Kat. But I'll get you." He said and I threw him a wicked grin. "Where the hell did you learn to play like this?" He stands up and tells me he will be back in a few minutes and then seeks out his secret stash of a pack of 10 cigarettes in the kitchen. I watch him light up and gasp with relief as he takes the first welcoming drag. "Sorry babe. I had to." I start to laugh at him, not minding his habitual needs. It was cruel not to allow him to smoke maybe just once in that first 28 hours. Darren gets hungry and we agree to hold our game until later to have lunch. All I needed was a few turkey salad sandwiches whilst he made himself burgers, chips and two fried eggs.
3.00pm
I checked out the washing machine and decided to try it. The rain outside started to ease off and we both hugged and looked out as the sun came out at the beautiful rear garden.
"Wish we could go out." I said.
