My breath caught in my throat as I digested this information!
“O shit, please please tell me your kidding!”
One look at his face told me this was no joke!
“O god” I whispered. “So tell me, what does this mean?”
“I…I don’t know what to say” he whispered.
I looked over at him and saw such pure vulnerability and guarded emotion I let out an uncontrollable sob.
I went to him then, he was like a magnet. The raw male sexuality I had experienced only hours before was now replaced with a childlike mistrust and loneliness. I uncoiled my long legs from beneath me and went over to his bent form. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands.
He looked up when sensed my movements. The pain and betrayal in his eyes was so plainly visible and yet I sensed that it wasn’t really me who had caused that hurt and pain. He rose up, almost in defence as I came closer. I held my arms out to him and he came to me like a child seeking solace from his mother.
After some time we sank down on to the bed and I cradled him in m arms. Even though there was so many questions swirling round in my head I knew that he needed this more than I needed my answers. Eventually we separated and looked into each other’s eyes. “Why don’t I make us some coffee and then we can sit and chat yeah?” “That would be really great, thanks Maria.”
I heard the sincerity in his voice and was touched. I flashed him a smile as I slipped of the bed. I put on his disregarded shirt and went to make us a much needed caffeine fix just as I was pouring the freshly made coffee into the cups I got a shock as I felt Will slip his hands around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. I relaxed into his embrace immediately, it was like coming home.
