(Hello again. I hope you enjoy this episode about the morning after. )
The whole time I have had the relationship with my neighbor, I had never woken up in her bed. I would at least try to get dressed, then head back to my bed next door. I had no idea why to be honest. I was not sure if it was because I belonged in my own bed or I did not want to cross a boundary. She shared her bed with her late husband for so many years. It felt like a bit of an invasion to sleep in her bed.
That was until that night after our first date. We fell asleep in each other's arms that night after some dancing and fucking. I opened my eyes and looked over to see her sleeping right next to me. I gently pulled myself out of bed and headed towards her bathroom to "drain the lizard". I finished my task and washed my hands before I snuck back into the room to find my shorts. I found them and started to put them on when I heard her stirring. I looked towards the bed. She rose from the bed, her chest exposed to my gaze as she stretched her arms. She then opened her eyes and saw me before she quickly pulled her blanket over her chest.
"What the hell?" she yelled.
It took a moment before she realized what happened. She started to soften, allowing the blanket to fall back to her bed, exposing her gorgeous breasts.
"Good morning, Romeo," she said saucily.
"Good morning, my pet. Did you sleep well?"
"I did. Sorry about the surprise. I have been sleeping alone for so long and..."
"I get it. Me too except when you slept over once or twice."
She shook her head.
"I never understood why sleeping in your bed was more comfortable than mine."
I took the moment to sit close to her and kiss her on the forehead.
"Because it didn't feel wrong to you. You know you were welcomed, and I would protect you. Being in this bed for me felt a bit weirder, like I was trespassing or..."
It was her turn to interrupt me with a deep kiss, pressing her breasts against my chest.
"Mitchell had a talk with me a few days before he left. He told me that I should not be afraid to open our bed to someone who would pleasure me. He did not want me to be lonely. It took a while for me to get the nerve to tempt you the way I did. I was not sure if you would be interested. The worst-case scenario was getting the thrill of playing near your pool. When you let me seduce you, it was beautiful, and it felt right. You are a good man, Romeo. Always being there for me when I needed to cry. Allowing me to get close to you while you mourned Missy. It was easy to fall for you."
I took a breath.
"I am glad you did. You have helped me so much over the last couple of months. I just wish..."
She kissed me again, a little deeper. The kiss blew me away. She looked in my eyes again before she spoke.
"I am not asking for forever. I am asking for one day at a time. I like what we have, and I do not want to make it complicated."
"I understand."
