I woke to find the sun had gone down. I wondered what time it was, the room was dark, and I was alone. I sat up and noticed I had panties on, and my robe wrapped around me. I couldn't hear him breathing, and turned to see if he was still laying besides me, but he wasn't. Reaching over to turn the light on, I heard voices in the kitchen. Deciding to leave the light off, I wrapped myself in the robe and quietly moved towards the door, pushing it open ever so slightly.
To my surprise, I found him in the kitchen, talking to my daughters while he stood in front of the stove. I found myself making a weird face, almost surprised at the diatribe flowing between him and my kids. They were talking about music, internet gaming, it seemed they were bouncing from topic, to topic, never staying on one for long. I stood watching them, drinking it in. This man who had just ravaged me in every physical way possible had turned into a gentle spirit, fatherly, and patient. A grin spread across my face as he noticed me standing there and beckoned me into the kitchen.
"Hey mom, have a nice nap?" One of my girls asked.
"Yes, actually, I did."
I walked into the kitchen and sat at the table, continuing to watch my children interact with him, helping him make dinner. I was nearly in shock over that. One of the girls slicing tomatoes, the other washing lettuce over the sink. My focus turned to him, watching him, listening to him, his voice soothing and calm, patient and kind.
"Why don't you go take a shower while we finish making dinner love?" He asked.
I simply nodded and rose from the table, retreating back to my bedroom and gathering my clothes. Turning on the water my thoughts drifted to earlier in the day, the moment his lips touched mine, the way his tongue probed my mouth, the warmth of his breath on my skin. I shook my head trying to dispel the images from my head so I could focus on bathing, washing my now tousled hair, and shaving what needed a bit of tidying. I looked down as I took the razor in my hand, almost embarrassed at how unkempt my neither regions were. Embarrassed that he'd seen me like that, not having predicted that we couldn't even make it through the front door before he'd take me.
