For part one of Carrie and Dave's story, read "A Gift For Her Teacher"
*****
Dave was having a fantastic dream. There was a girl - warm, and naked - her hair smelled like flowers, her skin was so soft, and it had been so long since he'd had warm softness in his arms, he could hardly remember what it felt like. His eyes opened drowsily, in the faint grey morning light, and it wasn't a dream. Wavy brown hair was spread over the pillow, tickling his cheek, and he had a lush armful of curvy, naked Carrie. She snored softly, like a kitten. So damn cute, he thought. I hope...
...shit, I hope she doesn't regret last night. He rubbed the back of his neck, his brow furrowed with worry.
Maybe things had moved too fast, but it wasn't like they hadn't known each other for a long time. Two years ago, though, this would have been impossible. He had been 25, fresh out of college, teaching a 12th grade Honors English class. Carrie was one of his brightest students - inquisitive, perceptive, funny, sweet, cute in a nerdy-girl way...and he'd been undeniably attracted to her. Sure, she was 18, but she was also one of his students, so that made her completely, absolutely, off-limits. He'd kept his inappropriate feelings to himself, made it through the year with his integrity - and his fucking CAREER - intact, and didn't see her again.
That is, until a few weeks ago, when he'd seen her stranded in the rain at a bus stop. He gave her a ride that night, and offered to help her with a paper she was struggling with for a college lit class. Strange, only a couple of years had passed, but the age difference between 20 and 27 seemed like nothing now - and she was no longer his student. They had both been alone and lonely on Christmas Eve; one thing had led to another last night, and now she was naked and asleep in his bed this morning. He kissed her gently on her neck, right below her ear. She stirred a little and her eyes fluttered open.
"Well, hi," he whispered, "Merry Christmas."
"Hi," she replied, her voice slurred with sleep. "Merry Christmas to you, too...oh God, what time is it?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes, then self-consciously tucked the sheet up around her ample bosom and tried to smooth her hair. "Ugh, I must look awful."
Dave took her hands in his and kissed her knuckles gently. "No, you look beautiful. How do you feel?"
"Okay, I think." She shifted a little, winced, her intake of breath was a sharp hiss through clenched teeth. "A little bit sore, but okay."
He tentatively stroked her bare shoulder, not entirely sure what was the appropriate thing to say. "I...uh...think that's normal, but it shouldn't last too long."
She smiled shyly, "Oh, I'm fine, just not used to it. I'll get more used to it, the more we...I mean, if you ever want to...again...sometime...I mean..." She groaned in embarrassment and flopped back on the pillows. Covering her face with her hands, she mumbled, "I'll just shut up now, okay?"
Dave suppressed a laugh as he gathered her into his arms. "Aw, honey, don't be embarrassed. Yes, I want to again, of course I want to again, I..." He felt her stiffen nervously in his embrace, and then realized his hard cock was rudely and insistently poking her hip. Great, the poor, sore girl probably thought he wanted sex again RIGHT NOW and expected her to hop right on. He cleared his throat, somewhat awkwardly. "Oh, no, not right this minute, just ignore that," he shifted onto his back, and rolled his eyes as his dick erected a pup tent under the blankets. "It's just a morning thing, it'll settle down." He pulled her reassuringly against his side, and felt her relax a little.
"Does it...is it like that every morning?"
"Well, probably more so since I have a sweet, naked girl in my bed. Don't worry, I know you're..." he cleared his throat and searched for the right words. "You're going to need a little recovery time. He can wait; if nothing else, I can beat him into submission." For emphasis, he flicked the tent pole with his middle finger, then yelped in mock pain.
Carrie giggled and buried her face in his shoulder.
He drank in the moment, just holding her, gently stroking the soft skin on her arm. Then, untangling himself, he got up, sliding on his boxers to try to contain his raging morning wood. Carrie scrambled up, too, saying, "Oh wow, I'm sorry...do you have to go somewhere?" His heart ached a little when he saw her visibly cringe and heard her mumble, "God, how stupid of me, of course you have plans, it's Christmas." She dutifully began sorting through the scattered clothes they had discarded on the floor last night, searching for her bra.
"Nope, no plans at all, nowhere to go. I'm in the same boat as you - none of my family is close by, and my friends all have things going on with their own families." He had an inspiration. "Um, hang on a minute, don't get dressed yet." He tossed her a thick terrycloth robe he kept hanging on a hook behind the door. "This will keep you warm if you are cold."
Dave went in the bathroom and started a warm bath. He rummaged under the sink and found a bag of Epsom salts, and poured in a small amount under the running water. That always helped when he overdid it and had sore muscles.
He went back in the bedroom and saw Carrie, wrapped in his robe, standing in the middle of the room, looking uncertain and kind of lost. "Oh, I thought you went to take a bath."
He grinned lopsidedly and took her hand, leading her into the bathroom. "No, this is for you. Maybe it will help the soreness." He kissed her on the forehead, and left her to her bath, shutting the door to give her some privacy.
Dave went to the bed and pulled back the blankets. The evidence was there, a few dark pink spots on the sheet, but not so bad. He had tried to be gentle, to make it as good for her as he could, as easy as possible. He'd never been anyone's first before, and he wasn't sure what was the proper etiquette and protocol for the morning after. After a moment's hesitation, he stripped off the sheets, stuffed them in the washer, and made up the bed with fresh linens. Then he started a pot of coffee, lamented that there was really nothing to offer for breakfast, and went back to check on Carrie.
Dave knocked on the door, and heard a slight splashing, and a hesitant, "Come in?"
"Are you decent? Sure hope not." He waggled his eyebrows in his best Groucho Marx impression, then wondered if she even knew who that was.
"Yeah, right, Groucho." Carrie snorted derisively, "No, I'm not exactly decent."
Dave laughed. "Here, lean forward a little, I'll wash your back." He grabbed a clean washcloth from the shelf by the sink and knelt by the tub, working up a lather with the bar of soap.
Carrie leaned forward, hugging her knees to her chest modestly, glad for a chance to shield her nudity. He already saw everything last night...EVERYTHING...but it had been pretty dark, and they were in the moment. But now it was in the bright light of day, and maybe he wouldn't like what he saw. Her boobs were big, but certainly not perfect and perky, her belly wasn't flat, her ass was huge -
Dave interrupted her well-rehearsed mental list of self-criticism with a kiss on her neck. "Hey, no fair," he whispered in her ear, "You're covering up some of my favorite parts."
Carrie stared at him, disbelieving. "Well, speaking of not fair," she stammered, squeaking a little as he deftly slid the washcloth around to soap her breasts, "I'm the only one naked here."
"True, that," he admitted. He dropped the washcloth, pulled the plug on the tub to drain the water, and stood up. Carrie rose, too, still half-shielding herself with her arms, and started to step out of the tub.
"Oh, don't get out, I'm coming in," he said, stepping out of his boxers. He turned the water on, adjusted it for temperature, and pulled the lever for the shower. "Ah, that's better," he said, slipping in next to her and pulling the shower curtain closed. "And please...don't do this," he added, taking her wrists and gently pulling them away from her body. He placed her hands on his shoulders and held her by her hips, at arms' length, almost as if they were dancing. He slowly, deliberately, dropped his gaze from her green eyes; to her soft pink lips; to her full, round breasts, capped with rosy nipples almost the same color as her lips; to her cute belly button; to the curvy handful of her hips; to the sweet little triangle of fur between her thighs. He could feel his cock stirring to attention, and with great effort, he dragged his attention back to her face. "For a long time, I imagined how you'd look, but never thought I'd ever see you like this. I like the way you look, Carrie - please don't feel like you have to hide from me."
