As Amber switched off the lamp beside the bed, the room fell into darkness. When my eyes adjusted, I looked to the large picture window. Outside, everything was covered in a thin layer of white. The city lights seemed to twinkle in the night through a lightly falling snow. From the warmth of the bed, the wintery scene was serene and relaxing to watch.
Amber rolled onto her side facing me and asked, "So, you good?"
Raising my eyebrows, I turned to her and said, "Good? Amber, that was incredible. Are you?"
I could see her smile as she said, "I'm better than good. And before you ask - no, nothing is going to change between us; and yes, yes I want to do it again. But... maybe we should get some sleep first."
I had a feeling of relief come over me. Amber and I have worked together for over a year now. We had become good friends and spent most of our free time together. Naturally, over time, I found myself becoming attracted to her. Alone in my apartment, I had fantasized about her naked body and masturbated while imagining her doing the same. I had imagined us together and wondered how she liked it. I had fantasized about her in every way imaginable. But I had kept all of that to myself, not wanting to risk our friendship.
Now, we found ourselves in Chicago to attend a convention for work. Arriving earlier this evening, we had decided on a quiet night in, drank some wine and ordered pizza. With our moods fortified by the beverages and our conversation much more disinhibited, our conversation ventured into areas we'd never explored. With a little bit of flirting, we eventually found ourselves getting undressed and pleasuring ourselves in front each other. In doing so, we also learned that each of us had done that many times before while thinking about the other. It was literally a dream come true, and now we found ourselves lying in bed together, the cool soft sheets caressing our naked bodies.
Amber leaned towards me. I met her lips and we kissed. With a flick of her tongue across mine, she kissed me one more time before falling back to her pillow and whispering "g'night."
Lying on my back with my head on the pillow, I looked up at the ceiling. I could taste her kiss on my lips as my mind raced, thinking back on what we had done earlier that evening. As an erotic replay ran through my mind, I drifted off to sleep.
---
As the first light of morning filtered through the window I slowly awoke. Rubbing my eyes, I looked beside me and saw Amber still sleeping. She was lying face down, with her head turned away from me her hair fell across her pillow.
Gently sliding out of bed, I walked over to the window and quietly drew the sheer curtains closed. Light still filtered through but it was softer, much less harsh. Walking into the bathroom and gently closing the door behind me, I flipped on the lights. Seeing my naked body in the mirror I couldn't help but grin at the thought of what took place the night before. After relieving myself, I brushed my teeth, gargled with some mouthwash, splashed some water on my face and applied some deodorant before turning off the light and walking back into the room.
Amber rolled over and propped herself up on her pillow. With an easy smile she said, "Hey."
Standing there, facing her completely naked, I was oddly at ease and not the least bit self-conscious. "Hey, sorry about the noise. I was trying to let you sleep."
"No, it's ok. I'm up," she said through a yawn as she sat up and stretched out her arms. As she sat up, the sheet slid away, exposing her beautiful, full breasts.
I eased myself back between the sheets as Amber sat on the edge of the bed. Her hair fell down to her shoulders, a little messy from the past night's sleep. Her long straight back lead down to her curvy hips. The soft, pale mounds of her backside stuck out to both sides and again I noticed just how smooth and impeccable her skin was. I felt a flutter in my chest as she stood up and looked back over her shoulder at me. "Don't go anywhere; I'll be right back."
As she closed the door to the bathroom, I rolled onto my back and stared up at the ceiling. I soon heard the toilet flush and then the sink running. A few moments later, she walked back into the room. "I hope you don't mind, I borrowed your toothbrush. Oh, and while you were in the bathroom I looked at our schedule today. We don't have anything until lunchtime. We've got nothing this morning."
I smiled as I watched her make her way around the bed and back between the covers. As she slid between the sheets, she sighed and said, "Ugh, I absolutely love the feeling of getting in bed naked. Feeling the soft, cool sheets engulfing my body, rubbing me in places that are usually covered..." As her voice trailed off, she slowly rocked her hips under the sheets and let out another sigh. She looked at me and said, "So, tell me about yourself."
For the first time I had a confused look on my face. "I mean, you already know everything about me."
"Sure, I know everything about you that anyone else could find out. I know where you grew up, where you went to school; I know your favorite sports, your favorite teams; I know your favorite foods and your hobbies. But I want to know more. I want to know the things you don't tell anyone, the kinds of things you told me last night. I want to know you."
Turning onto my side and facing Amber, I said, "Well, I'll tell you anything you want to know but I don't know where to start."
Thinking for a second she replied, "How about we play a little game? It'll be like truth or dare, but we'll just ask each other questions. We'll alternate. One of us asks a question, the other answers. But there's a catch; after the other person answers, the person who asked the question has to answer that same question before we switch."
When I agreed to her terms she smiled and started thinking of her first question. "I'll start you off easy. What do you normally sleep in?"
"Well, I usually put on a pair of boxers, either some mesh shorts or sweatpants, and a loose t-shirt. I go to bed in that but usually take the shirt off at some point."
With a nod, she said that she usually wore something similar, "Nothing too exciting, usually a loose t-shirt and a pair of loose-fitting pajama pants over some light cotton panties. I usually keep the shirt on but I take the pants off before crawling in bed and sleep in just my panties. See? That wasn't so bad, now it's your turn."
"Well, if you like lying in bed naked so much, why do you you wear clothes to sleep?"
Amber considered the question and said, "I guess I enjoy it so much, I worry that if I did it every night, it would lose its novelty; I'd start to take it for granted. So I save it for special nights, nights when I'm feeling horny before bed and I know I'm going to get myself off. Remember last night how I told you I enjoy walking around naked in my house? Well, when I start feeling like that before bed, I strip down completely naked. My favorite way is to do it slowly in front of a mirror, getting myself turned on before walking around freely in my house. After getting myself ready for bed, I turn off all the lights, crawl into bed and masturbate."
Listening to Amber, I pictured the scene in my head. My pulse quickened and I felt the familiar stirring in my groin. I focused on my breathing to calm myself back down. After clearing my mind, I told her how I also get turned on by walking around naked. "Sometimes I do it when I'm already feeling horny, as a sort of foreplay with myself. And sometimes I do it, when I want to masturbate but I'm just not in the right mood. Being naked usually gets me in the right frame of mind."
I then explained that I also usually save sleeping naked for nights when I'm planning on getting myself off. But I added, "Sometimes, when I can't sleep, slipping out of my clothes and lying naked in bed is a great way for me to get myself aroused, rub one out and get off to sleep."
It was Amber's turn again, and this time she didn't need to think up a question. In a lower, more relaxed tone she said, "We watched each other last night. It was without a doubt the hottest thing I've ever done. But last night, I didn't notice you until you were already hard. I want to know what it's like when it's getting hard. How does it feel?"
Lying back, looking up at the ceiling and taking a deep breath, I explained that "when I first get excited, there's just a faint tingling sensation in crotch. My scrotum tingles as my testicles rise and I feel it in the base of my penis. Usually at this point, I become aware of my pulse, thumping in my chest. With each of heartbeat, I feel my penis becoming fuller. As it thickens and then lengthens, I feel the skin tighten as it reaches its full size. Then as each successive pulse forces more blood into it, it begins to rise. Soon, it's pointing straight out and then angled up. Once I'm erect, every pulse causes my penis to twitch, sending a numb, tingling feeling through my body. I can feel how much bigger it is and everything in my mind is begging me to touch it. But the longer I can wait, the better it feels when I finally do."
