I am unaware of anything at all, but I feel the faintest stirring of consciousness. I still have the feeling that I have no control, like I am in a dream. I can feel you near me, but I don't know where. Your very presence is enough to make me feel safe.
Slowly as I come out of my sleep state, I can feel your hand on my bare stomach. It is only now that I realise that I am in bed sleeping beside you and I remember that I have been dreaming about you though I remember no details of the dream. I want to reach out to you but my eyes are closed, and I don't know exactly where you are.
My arm slides across the warm, soft bed linen. The feeling of the fabric sliding along my soft inner arm is oddly sensuous right now. This part of my body has always been sensitive and whenever you stroke it, it sends shivers of delight over my entire body.
I connect with you, my fingers finding your arm. I make my way down until I can link my hand with yours. You pull my hand up to your mouth and sleepily start to kiss it. You are gentle and slow, but you're becoming more urgent by the second.
I am fully awake now, but groggy and I open my eyes. I can't see anything other than your faint silhouette in the almost pitch black. It must still be the middle of the night. It is the middle of another long, hot Australian summer, and if it were at either end of the night, more light would have filtered into our bedroom. I am still disoriented and I realise that the only way I could find out the time is to pick up my phone and check. Wild horses could not make me break the mood to do that. I realise that I don't care what time it is. I am just desperate to touch you.
You are still kissing my hand, more fervently now. I roll toward you and you release me, allowing me to move into your body. Instead of resting my head on your chest, I kiss it, encircling your nipple. You are smooth and almost hairless, deliciously salty with sweat. I extend my tongue and lick around your nipple before gently biting it. The nip makes you jump and your chest breaks out in light goose bumps.
I lift myself up so that I'm kneeling beside you with my hair draped over your chest. As I drag my long soft hair down your body, you gently moan and shiver. I go back to kissing your chest again, this time covering it with light gentle kisses. Moving upward I find your throat, I open my mouth and kiss your Adam's apple, sucking slightly, then I move around to the side of your throat and up toward your ear.
