Tom could sense her presence behind him as he woke. He wasn't sure if it was her smell, the extra warmth she provided or the way the mattress bowed differently with their combined weight but he didn't need to roll over to know she was there.
But he rolled over anyway because he wanted to see her. The pain that shot through his injured arm and leg at the movement reminded him rudely of why she was there -- at least part of the reason anyway -- and he only just managed to stifle a groan.
It was worth it to get the chance to watch her as she slept. She was beautiful. Tom loved the way her hair was slightly tousled and the teasing glimpse he got of the top of her naked breasts where they peeked out from the duvet. Evidently, she had stripped off sometime after he'd fallen asleep. It only seemed fair considering his own nakedness. He liked a girl with a good sense of equality.
She looked so peaceful sleeping there that he didn't want to wake her but a bathroom break was in order which meant trying to make it out of bed by himself. Unfortunately, it seemed that a good night's sleep had done nothing to ease the pain in his joints. If anything, they were worse.
After a few moments of struggling unsuccessfully to get out of bed quietly Nikki stirred, stretched and said: "Morning you. Where do you think you're going on your own?"
"Hey sleepy-head. I was trying to go to the bathroom but it looks like I'm actually going nowhere fast."
"Hang on, I'll give you a hand."
She sat up and Tom got an eye-full of her amazing torso when the duvet slid off her. She didn't seem shy when she caught him looking but she reached for an old T-shirt of his that he sometimes wore to sleep in and slipped it on.
"Don't want to distract you too much." She said by way of explanation.
"Probably for the best." Tom agreed. "You have the ability to be very distracting when you want to be."
She smiled and stood up. Tom had been wrong; she hadn't been completely naked after all. She was still wearing a purple thong which Tom guessed would have matched the bra he'd seen her wearing yesterday.
She came to stand in front of him and Tom thought for a moment that he might still be asleep and dreaming. His T-shirt was hanging against her curves and, although it covered her, the old material was beginning to wear thin so he could see hints of flesh through it. Her nipples were clearly visible if he looked closely enough and, as he looked, they began to harden. The fact that the garment was short enough that it only just covered her hips meant that any movement gave him flash-frame snapshots of her thong.
"On second, thoughts." Tom said. "You are very distracting pretty much all the time."
In response, Nikki got that wicked glint in her eyes.
"Do you like looking at me?" She asked in a sultry voice while her hands strayed to the hem of the T-shirt.
"God yeah." Tom replied. He knew it was a rhetorical question and, even if it hadn't been, his gently swelling cock would have answered for him as she began to raise the hem above her tight navel.
"You like?" She continued as the turned around for him and rocked her hips slowly to work her thong-parted buttocks for him.
"Uh huh." Was all Tom could manage.
She continued her twirl until she was facing him again. Her hands were higher now and she was caressing the bottoms of her breasts where they were exposed under the T-shirt.
"Then you'd better be a good boy and you might get to see some more later." She said and let her hands (and the T-shirt) drop back down with a naughty grin.
"Tease." Tom accused.
Nikki smiled. "I guess I am. But I never noticed before." Her voice took on a more serious tone. "I've never wanted to do stuff like this with anyone else. I don't know what it is with you but you make me feel so sexy."
Tom was moved. "You should. You are the most sexy creature I've ever seen."
They held eye contact for a moment before Tom lightened the mood with a laugh and: "I would normally kiss you after saying something like that, but I can't stand up!"
Nikki laughed too. "There's all the incentive I need to help."
She gave him her arm and he was able to pull himself upright. Without letting go, he pulled her close enough that he could kiss her and then they held each other for a moment while Tom got his balance.
Once he got moving, he loosened up a little and was able to manage the last few steps to the bathroom unassisted. Nikki returned to the bedroom.
He made it most of the way back by himself and found her re-dressed in her clothes from yesterday.
"I'll help you downstairs and get you some breakfast then I'll pop back home to shower and change." She said.
"Err, I think you're forgetting something first." Tom indicated his state of undress with a dramatic flourish of the hand.
"I was hoping you wouldn't notice." Nikki answered with a grin. "Oh well, I guess I can help you put some clothes on then." Mock sulky face.
A combination of swearing, hopping and perching on the bed finally saw Tom dressed again and Nikki helped him downstairs and onto the sofa.
As promised, she then fetched him some breakfast which Tom happily tucked into while she was putting her shoes on.
"I'm going to head back home for a bit now." She announced. "Will you be OK for a few hours?"
"Sure, I'll be fine." Tom said. "Can you pass me my laptop before you go? I should be fine here for a while. I'm sure you've got better things to do than look after me."
"Well, I've got a few things I need to sort out at home. It's been a busy week so I've put a few things off. I'll come back this evening if that's OK. Will you be able to cope until then?"
"No problem. Take my spare house key, it's on the side there." Tom indicated the sideboard. "Then I won't have to get up to let you in."
"OK, if you need anything at all, just give me a call. I don't want you hurting yourself even more."
"I will. See you later." Tom blew her a kiss which made her smile and return the gesture.
Then she was gone.
-
Tom was startled by the front door opening. He'd been deep in some coding and hadn't noticed the time. In fact, he'd hardly moved since Nikki had left that morning.
"Hello." She announced cheerfully. "How's my invalid?"
"I'm doing OK. Actually, I didn't notice how late it was getting. I tend to get a bit lost when I get stuck into a bit of software."
