Ria stirred again, and I held her close. "Are you all right?"
She nodded. "Just a bit emotional..."
She turned in my arms, and I felt a thrill go through me as her soft breasts pressed against my chest. I felt myself begin to harden, and Ria smiled, sensing my arousal. She looked at me, her face somehow serious, and said, "Tim?"
"Hmm?"
"We've done some fun stuff since you got back, but... this time, can we just make love, well, the old-fashioned way?"
I held her tightly. "Darling... Whatever you want -- you only have to ask. The fun stuff is -- well, fun, but as long as I can be with you, nothing else matters."
Her cheeks were wet again, and she nodded wordlessly. She wiped away tears with her fingers, and turned onto her back, watching me. "Please, my love, now..."
I moved closer, kissing her cheeks, her ears, her eyelids. She closed her eyes, parting her lips, and I kissed her, feeling her respond. I began to stroke her skin gently, first her stomach, then her legs, then returning to caress her breasts. "Mmm," she breathed, her nipples hardening under my palms, and I curled my fingers slightly to draw my fingernails gently across her breasts, remembering what she'd said that morning. Her back arched, and she reached for me, pulling me towards her. "Use your mouth," she urged.
I began to kiss her breasts, softly at first then with tiny nips of my teeth. My lips surrounded a nipple, then suckled, the tip of my tongue flicking, and Ria gasped. "Ahhh...." I felt her shift, her legs parting, and I moved a hand down to caress her smooth mound. "I'm ready now," she whispered, "just take me."
I moved to cover her body with mine, and she opened fully to me, tilting her head backwards with a gasp as she felt my hard tip pressing against her entrance. I lowered myself onto her, entering her, and wrapped my arms around her, gently crushing her breasts with my chest. I kissed her, softly at first then more insistently, and I felt her hips begin to move, following my own gentle thrusts. She caught her lip between her teeth, moaning, and I felt the muscles of her stomach begin to tense. "So soon?" I asked quietly.
She nodded, and moved more insistently against me, wrapping her legs behind mine. I slid my hands down to cup her bottom, mirroring the movement of her hips, and her breathing became ragged. Suddenly she cried out, shaking uncontrollably and biting her lip, her fingers digging hard into my back, and I pushed as deeply as I could into her as her muscles tensed around me.
Finally she relaxed, and opened her eyes again. "Did you...?"
I shook my head, grinning. "Looks like all that attention you gave me earlier paid off."
She looked concerned for a moment. "But you will..."
"Of course. Now?"
She nodded enthusiastically. "Lift up just a little..."
I raised myself up, and she shifted, beginning to kiss my chest and move her lips from one nipple to the other. I felt myself stir in her, and gasped. "Oh, yes, Ria, that's perfect." I began to move in her again, feeling her silky wetness surround me, her lips and tongue exquisite on my nipples. "Oh -- yes -- don't stop -- I'm..."
I felt pleasure flood through me, and Ria's expression turned to delight as she watched my face, her hips mirroring my movements as I filled her with warmth...
Finally I lowered myself carefully onto her again, panting, and she wrapped her arms around me, squeezing. "That was perfect," she breathed.
Slowly I softened, and Ria feigned disappointment as I slipped out of her. "Again later?" she asked, her voice almost like that of a little girl.
I nodded. "Of course."
I glanced at the clock. "Ready for something else to eat yet?"
She shook her head. "Totally satisfied -- in every possible way."
I settled more comfortably on the pillow. "Want to talk, then?"
Ria nodded. "Tell me about your trip."
I chuckled. "You really want to hear about spreadsheets and organisation charts?"
She snuggled into me. "Just want to hear the sound of your voice..."
I began to describe the last couple of days, and Ria listened thoughtfully. After a while, I saw her eyelids begin to droop, and as her breathing slowed, I tailed off, smiling, and closed my own eyes.
When I woke it was dark, and I glanced at the clock. The glowing figures gave the time as five a.m., and reluctantly I pulled away from my sleeping lover, slipping into the bathroom and closing the door so I wouldn't wake her. When I was showered, I dressed in the gloom, and went down to the kitchen, quickly eating a bowl of cereal.
When I got back up the stairs, Ria was sitting up, the bedside light switched on. "We must both have been tired..."
I grinned. "Well, we did our best to wear each other out yesterday."
She gave me a soft smile. "Hurry back to me, lover."
"Will do."
The day passed quickly, catching up on emails and urgent tasks that had built up while I'd been away at the conference. Finally I closed the laptop and picked up my jacket, heading for my car. My mobile rang, and I heard Ria's voice. "Are you on your way?"
