I live for the moment I hear that catch in her throat with our first kiss. Her breathing getting heavier with each tender touch and caress of her sensitive places, I wait for those three words she will not say..., yet.
Catherine - Chapter 26
Knock, Knock, Hi It's Me
It's the multiple tap, tap, taping sound of leather heels on hard wood flooring ending at, "Knock, Knock, Hi It's Me." Her voice setting me back in my chair, turning it around to see Catherine standing in the doorway of my den.
"What are you doing here!?" Pleasantly surprise at seeing her there in the door way.
"I've missed seeing your smiling handsome face and the sound of your voice," she says. "So, what have you been up too," she ask, nodding her head at the clutter of books and note pads arrayed on top of my desk --- as well the multiple computer screens lit up.
"Working on this paper," my right hand gesturing towards one of the computers, "trying to pull it together for Wednesday night's class," replying to her question.
"Well..., how about taking a break from all that hard work and have some coffee with me," she ask.
"I was thinking of doing just that; making a fresh pot," telling her, as I hold up my mug of stale cold coffee. "So if you give me a couple of minutes to close all this up," waving my hand at everything I have laid out. "I'll be right out to make some fresh," telling her.
"Take your time," she says. "I've already made some."
"You have!?" Surprised at hearing that. "How long have you been here?"
"Long enough to hang up my coat and seeing that the lights were on in here. So, I thought I'd make a fresh pot of coffee; after seeing what you had made was cold. So..., maybe ten, fifteen minutes at the most," she's telling me. "Now hurry it up, I've missed you!" She says, is followed by her turning from the doorway to the sound of her tap, tap, taping leather heels fading as she goes back up the hallway to the kitchen.
Slumping back into my high back leather desk chair to a deep breath with this thought --- not only does she take my breath away, she's that total surprise at every turn since I met her.
An now it's the aroma of fresh brewed coffee that first hits me at entering the kitchen. The second thing is the sight of Catherine sitting on one of the near side bar stools, one leg casually crossed over the other at the knees, her dark brown knee high leather boots, a slit in her belted knee length brown leather skirt revealing the hint of --- the woman does have some long gorgeous legs! Her button down, long sleeve cashmere sweater molded to her perfect breast. That look reminding me of a lunch date we had, except the skirt was longer; the weather was colder that day too.
Pouring the cold, stale dregs of coffee from the mug I brought back with me into the sink along with a quick look back to see Catherine watching me as I'm rinsing out the mug. Where it's another look back to Catherine before taking the carafe from the coffee maker to pore some fresh back into my mug. And, as I've been stirring the sugar and creamer in with the coffee, it's been my casual looks back to see her intently watching what I've been doing..
"What?" Asking out loud, as I look down to see if I've spilled coffee on my 'Marine Corp' lettered tee shirt or onto my sweat pants. It was showering after I got back from my run through the park where I didn't bother putting on under ware so it's also my flaccid penis bulge I see too.
Looking back again to Catherine, her head cocked slightly to one side, a confused expression on her face, "The way you were watching me, I thought I spilled coffee on me," my explanation to Catherine's quizzical look.
"Can't I just watch you," she replies. "You are a, 'hunk,' you know."
Which has me laughing at her remark --- slopping some of the fresh hot coffee on my hand has me hastily setting the cup back down on the counter top.
"Don't laugh Swaggart!" She says. "You are one hot, good looking man!"
"Well thank you for the compliment," as I'm running some cold water over my hand. "Just please, don't use that one when I'm drinking hot coffee," telling her.
"I guess I should have just said, I missed you.," she replies.
"I've missed you too," my replying. "So..., how was the reception for your guest and the dinner party; went well I hope?" Asking her now.
"Good, even great I should say! Maria and her sister did a fabulous job with the dinner table arrangements and the dinner itself; everyone loved it! Even Jon's mother was full of compliments over it and she's a real stickler when it comes formality." Catherine's telling me.
"Formal dinner," my asking now. "You mean coat and tails for men, fancy evening dress for women." More my stating than my asking.
"No Swaggart!" She replies. "Just a suite and tie for men. A casual out to dinner dress for the women," she replies,
"You mentioned your mother was coming.., how did that go? I think you also said one time, your mother doesn't care all that much for Jon's family," my follow on questions.
"They got along very well," Catherine's reply. "My mother and Jon's mother; her name is Madelin, even sat together over a glass of wine later in the evening, where I found out later too, that Madelin was very surprised at my mother being a published author," Catherine's telling me. "My mom having to fudge about the kind of writing she does; of course," Catherine goes on.
"Ah.., yeah," I laugh. "I think you told me Catherine, your mom writes erotic novels; right?" My asking
"Yes she does," Catherine replies. "It's definitely not the kind of literature, Jon's mother would read. I've, a..., often wondered too if, my mother writes from experience or from a very vivid dirty imagination," she goes on.
