I'm lying in bed, just stirring, feeling the cool wash of predawn air from the open window over my bare skin. My brow furrows a little as I realize the sheet has been removed. I then relax and smile to myself...I hear your gentle footfall and the tiniest little creak from the doorframe. I know where the sheet has gone now...
I remain where I am, half curled on my stomach and side, pretending to still sleep. The blue light that fills the room is a reflection of the slowly lightening sky, translucent violet light, dark yet revealing. I can feel it on my eyelids, along with the chill air. My skin tightens in anticipation as much as from the cool breeze. I feel the mattress give behind and beside me as you kneel on the bed, leaning over me. The heat from your bare chest is palpable. You lean so close that the hair there just brushes my skin, causing it to tingle and my nipples to tighten at the subtly erotic sensation. I shift, tucking my hand under my chin, still trying to maintain my sleeping presence. Your small, quiet laugh, almost a breath, lets me know that you don't believe it. You know very well that I'm awake, but you're willing to play along.
You tuck my hair behind my ear from where it has fallen across my cheek and eye, and your fingers slide downward with the motion, trailing along the edge of my neck, over my shoulder and down across my ribs. Small waves of gooseflesh move outward from your touch and it's all I can do not to twitch suddenly. You lean even closer and I can feel your warm, gentle breath stirring the short hair at my nape, and the touch of your lips there is almost imperceptible. But my nerves are stretched taut and I feel it, and my entire scalp tightens in response to your kiss.
Your finger has wandered over my hip even as your lips nibble over and down the side of my neck, and you bury your mouth against the pulse hammering slowly along my throat. I suddenly feel a rush of arousal as well as a drop into sensuous dreaminess. I feel drowsy and surreally aware of what is happening, almost disconnected. I wait in suspended silence and stillness for your next touch.
