When I woke up in the morning, a narrow shaft of sunlight was peeking under the shades in the living room. I was on the pullout couch. The lights were off, but I could hear movement in the kitchen. After a minute, Sarah peeked around the doorway and saw that I was awake.
"Do you want coffee?" she asked quietly.
"Absolutely!" I whispered back.
I made sure that I was decent as she clanked around in the cupboard, and when I entered the kitchen, she handed me a mug of steaming black coffee.
"Bless you," I said. "It was kind of a late night!"
"How long did you guys stay out?" she asked.
"I think we got home at 2:00 o'clock...I don't think I've fallen asleep that quickly before!"
"Yeah-she's hard to keep up with, even if you're in drinking shape!"
"You're telling me!" I said with a snort.
To keep the questions from proceeding any further, though, I changed the subject.
"What are you doing up so early?" I asked Sarah.
"I've got to go to work for a while. We have a presentation on Monday, and I'm not quite ready for it. Do you want to meet later for lunch?"
"That would be great...where were you thinking?"
"How about you guys come down and meet me at Charlie's?"
My mind reeled with visions of a hot roast beef sandwich with gravy.
"Perfect!" I said happily. After a sip of coffee, I asked her what time.
"Let's make it one o'clock," she replied. "That way I can be done for the day."
"We'll be there."
Sarah passed me going into the hallway. She grabbed her leather jacket and purse from the chair by the front door, then looked back with a smile. "See ya later, then!" she said quietly.
"See ya" I said.
I think the same memories of other goodbyes clouded both of our thoughts right then. There was no kiss this time, just a lingering weirdness as we mentally adjusted to the new status quo.
To break the tension of that moment, I said "Get out of here-I'll wake Melanie up at noon so we can make it on time!"
Sarah laughed, her smile returning. "Good luck with that! Maybe start around 10:30!"
With that, she was gone, closing the door quietly behind her.
The apartment was quiet again, and I sat back down on the pullout couch in the faint illumination of the sun as it slipped past the window shade. My mind was filled with "might-have-beens" with Sarah, and I sipped coffee and reflected on our time together. At some point, I fell back asleep on top of the covers.
When I woke up again, my coffee was cold. With a start, I checked my watch and saw that three hours had slipped by. I got up carefully and went to the kitchen, topping up my cup from the carafe. Then, somewhat hesitantly, I wandered down the hall. First, I stopped in the bathroom and relieved myself. After that, I found myself drawn to Sarah's room. I felt like a stalker, but couldn't help myself. The door opened silently, and as I stood in the doorway, her familiar scent washed over me. The bed was made. There were clothes on the back of the chair, but not on the floor. The closet, I'm sure was a mess, but the doors were closed. All familiar patterns. With a sigh, I closed the door and turned down the hall.
Melanie's door was closed as well, but I felt a lot less hesitation opening this one. For one thing, she could sleep through an air-raid siren. Also, having just spent hours on their balcony last night snuggled under a blanket and fucking like deranged minks, I didn't think there were a lot of boundaries left for us to cross!
Oh, what a sight greeted me! The apartment was warm despite the cold Boston morning, and Melanie was nude, wrapped only partially in a purple cotton sheet. Her hair was a dark cloud that obscured her face and the pillow, but her back was to me and I could see her beautiful ass gleaming in the faint light, the curve on her arm clutching a pillow, and the pale side of one breast. Her breathing was deep and even, and she looked incredibly sexy and peaceful.
My cock stirred within my shorts as I stood there. Stepping to her bedside, I took one last slug of coffee and set the cup down next to her phone. Then I stripped off my T-shirt and shorts. Grinning to myself, I eased my weight down on the bed beside her. No reaction. I pivoted slowly and stretched out next to her without touching her body. No reaction. With a happy sigh, I laid my head on her pillow, draped one arm across her waist, and moved just close enough to feel the heat radiating from her nude form. My eyes closed with contentment.
I guess I dozed off for a few minutes, because my eyes popped open when Melanie shifted on the bed beside me. I glanced quickly at her face, but she was still asleep. She lay on her back now, one arm trapped between us and the other thrown up over her head. Her breast stood up proudly in this position, and I admired the taut pale flesh and the caramel color of her nipple.
Looking further down her body, I saw that her knee was bent on the side opposite me. This left her smooth mound fully exposed, and I didn't hesitate. My hand reach down and cupped her gently, my fingers curling down to lie along the delicate skin of her pussy. My cock was rock-hard at that point, and a smile crossed my lips as I thought of a way to arrange things.
Leaving her pussy for a moment, I rolled back and turned her hand palm down between us. Since I was liberally leaking precum, I rubbed the slick head of my cock all around her fingers and across her palm, then wrapped her around my shaft, thumb underneath. When I rolled back toward her, the grip tightened, and when I thrust my hips experimentally, I felt Melanie's hand traveling up and down just as if she was jerking me off. That was enough for now!
Returning to the lush body in front of me, I licked my middle finger and let it return to the line of her pussy. It slid between her lips effortlessly, and I was unsurprised to feel it sink easily into the tight clasp of her inner walls. Even in her sleep, she was slick and ready for me!
I humped her hand gently for a while, fingering her pussy and spreading her lubrication thoroughly over her clit. Her body began to twitch in response, and when I began to suck on the nipple closest to me, I knew she was waking up. Her free arm wrapped around my head, cradling me against her breast. I added another finger to the first and pumped them slowly in and out of her slick channel, curling inside her to brush against her g-spot. Her knee came up further and fell off to the side, opening her even wider for my attentions.
I stopped working on her nipple and looked up at her face. Her eyes opened halfway and a smile crossed her lips before she caught her lower lip in her teeth and moaned softly.
"Good morning, babe...are you ready for some more payback?"
"Mmmm...yes!" was all she said.
Taking that as a full green light, I focused more intently on her eager pussy. My fingertips were slick with her juices, and I made tight little circles around her clit. Her hips started to rise off the mattress, so I changed pace and plunged my two longest fingers deep inside her for a few strokes before returning to my circling. After several repetitions of this pattern, she was moaning steadily and thrusting against my hand. I decided to let her off the hook, so to speak, and the next time I had my fingers buried in her pussy, I left them there and used the pad of my thumb to exert pressure on her tight little nub instead. As I sawed my fingers in and out of her, the friction came and went in a steady rhythm. Melanie began to match it with her hips, and her ass rose off the bed completely.
The arching of her back told me she was ready to explode, and when I bit down once again on her nipple, Melanie's orgasm washed over her in waves. Except for a sudden gasp, she was silent, concentrating only on her pleasure. My fingers were clamped again and again as her body spasmed, and I could feel the long muscles of her body trembling with each ripple of pleasure. Slowly, her hips sank back onto the mattress, and a long sigh escaped her lips.
"Oooohhhh, fuck...that's a nice way to wake up!" she said with her eyes closed.
I didn't reply, but her face turned toward me and our lips met in a slow, deep kiss.
"Want some coffee?" I asked her with a smile.
"Nope. I want some cock!" she said in a throaty growl.
