Chapter Three
I woke when she started getting out of bed. She was oddly modest, gathering the cast-off blanket around her as she went into the bathroom. I stretched and glanced at the clock. Jesus, 5:32 a.m. and she was up?
There was enough light now that I could see as she came out of the bathroom and went to her closet.
"Abby," I said softly, "come here."
She stopped and when she turned to look at me I could see that she was crying.
"Abby," I said again, "come here, baby. What's wrong?"
She came, slowly, still holding the blanket tightly up to her throat.
"Sit baby," I urged her, wondering what was going on.
She sat, but hunched away when I reached up and laid my hand on her shoulder.
"What is it?" I asked, gently pulling her down to me, overcoming her resistance.
"It was nice, wasn't it?" she said in a small voice.
I chuckled.
"Abby," I said, "it was more than 'nice.' But why the past tense?"
That seemed to open up the floodgates and now she was crying in earnest.
I pulled her down, holding her as well as I could around her arms crossing her breasts, and her hands holding the blanket tightly to her throat.
I kissed her but there was no response.
So I held her, waiting for the storm to pass.
When I felt her relaxing I leaned back and propped myself up onto one elbow.
"What," I said, trying to put some firmness in my voice, "is going on?"
"Davey, I know what I look like, and what my age is, and, well...................."
I smiled.
"You're serious?"
"Well, yes," she said.
"And just what," I asked, unable to keep the building laughter out of my voice, "is it that you, as you put it, 'look like'?"
"Davey," she said, and I noticed the diminutive affectionate name again, "look at me. God, I'm horse-faced, snaggle-toothed, big assed, varicose veined, big-footed, and homely."
I couldn't stop the laugh and that started her crying again.
I was still laughing as I grabbed her into my arms.
"You have that litany down pat, don't you? You forgot," I said, holding the laughter for an instant, "a broken-down old bag." And I erupted into laughter again.
"Dammit," she said, and I could hear anger in her voice now, "it's not fucking FUNNY!"
"Oh Abby," I said, holding on to make sure she couldn't use any of that martial arts training she had shown me last night, "it's beyond funny. It's fucking HILARIOUS!"
I hung on as she struggled and then as she started giggling.
The storm passed. I got onto my knees and grabbed at the blanket she still held so protectively at her throat.
"Stop it silly," I said, pulling a little harder.
With a quick sigh, she closed her eyes and relaxed her grip.
I pulled the covers away and just looked.
And liked, very much, what I saw.
She blushed and that made her even more attractive to me.
I laid down next to her, the blanket now on the floor, propped my head on my palm, and smiled at her.
"Okay," I said, "let's see. It was 'horse-faced?'"
She held my eyes and nodded.
My fingers traced the outline of her forehead at her hairline and followed the shape of her face around her chin and back up to where I started.
"How about," I said, holding her gaze, "a pretty oval face with a thin nose, delicate mouth, small ears, and absolutely beautiful eyes framed by a wonderful mane of auburn hair."
She started to say something but I put my finger to her lips, shushing her.
"Snaggletoothed?"
And she giggled a little.
"How about," I repeated, "very slightly crooked front teeth making a beautiful smile unique rather than just making her another pretty face."
I thought for a moment.
"Oh yes," I said, my palms finding her big nipples that hardened under the light touch, making the small areolas almost disappear, "flat-chested, was it?"
Again she nodded.
"Well," I said, lightly playing with her nipples, enjoying the way they tightened. They were big, about the size of my thumb, and the areolas were very small, almost disappearing when her nipples were hard. "There really is more to a woman than her udders," I continued. "You have very sexy breasts, Abby, a bit on the smallish side, and like, oh, something like a hundred billion women before you, the glands softened dramatically after you had a child and like every woman before you, gravity eventually is winning."
I got up onto my knees and deliberately surveyed her body, drawing another blush.
"I believe 'big assed' was part of your complaint. More on that in due course," I said, having fun now with the language as well as with her body.
"What you do have is wonderful hips and," and here I moved my hand down between her legs, parting them gently.
I stopped my soliloquy for a moment and touched between her legs where she had just been exposed.
"What do you call it?" I asked.
"Call what?" she asked.
I touched again, finding the way last night's semen still leaked a little bit, in itself, arousing.
"This."
"Oh god," and here she actually squirmed as well as blushing all the way down to those lovely breasts.
"What...do...you...call...it?" I asked, emphasizing each word.
"My pussy," she said in a small voice.
I grinned.
"Okay. Well, my dear, you have perhaps the prettiest pussy I have ever seen."
"Oh Davey, don't be ridiculous," she said, starting to join into the conversation.
"I am absolutely serious sugar," I said, "full labia and just enough of your labia minora, those delicate pink inner lips, showing to be really really sexy. Soft silky pubic hair. Absolutely lovely pussy." I chuckled and bent to kiss her there, the scent and taste of her nectar and my semen mingling.
"To continue," I said, holding up a finger, "varicose veined."
I looked.
"Yep."
