An insistent buzzing noise cuts through my sleep. I throw a hand out to one side and find a phone, vibrating as someone persistently calls it.
I thumb the button to answer and realise, with a shock that it's not my phone! I hang up immediately, pulse racing.
Nudging my princess, she barely has time to say "Wha?" before the phone vibrates again.
"Answer it," I say, thrusting the phone into her hand.
"Hu-hullo?"
I hear a distant female voice through the speaker, tinny and high pitched.
My lover gets up and moves out the room, pausing only to mouth "Anya" at me; Her friend from the office. I hear them talking in her native tongue in the hallway, rapid conversation punctuated by girlish laughter.
I lie back and reach for my coffee, taking a sip I find it's stone cold. I cast around for my phone, finding it, I see it's mid afternoon! We've dozed and fucked most of the day away.
My phone vibrates as a message comes in, I don't recognise the number. The message reads,"M gave me your number. Want to meet us tonight for beer and go out? Foxes at 7pm. Anya. x."
My princess bursts back into the room, bounding to the bed, she launches herself into it and into my arms.
"I gave Anya your number. She's going to text you."
I hold up my phone, "She already did."
"Wow! She wants to see you out tonight! She likes you!"
"What's not to like?," I smile at my lover. "I need some food, you've starved me."
"Let's go then," she grabs a robe and heads to the kitchen, I follow pulling on my jeans.
We pull together a simple meal, fuel to keep us going through the day and into the night.
"I am going to have a shower and get clean for going out. I stink of sex," my lover leers at me briefly at the end of her sentence and heads to the bathroom.
I clear the kitchen mess into the sink and strip out of my denims, fully intending to surprise my lover in the shower. Pausing outside the door, I wait until I hear the water running before opening the door and slipping inside.
I'm surprised to see her standing by the bathroom basin, looking into the mirror, turning her head and looking closely at her skin.
Moving up behind her, I touch her shoulder, "What's wrong love?"
"My skin. It is never going to clear."
My lover has little pockmarks in her face from a teenage illness, they're not noticeable, unless you know what to look for and her face is scrubbed of makeup.
"You're beautiful love, you know that."
She hangs her hair in front of her face, a habit I've tried to take from her.
Her voice is quiet, "You only say that to make me feel good."
I brush the hair from her face, clearing her view of herself, she catches my eye in our reflection.
Keeping one eye on her in the mirror, I start to kiss her shoulder, then her neck. Running my hands down her arms to pin her hands onto the basin, she sighs under my touch.
My cock rises against her lower back, warm and hard to the touch of her.
I stoop to her and slip my hardened shaft between her legs, finding the widening hole of her pussy.
I raise my lips from her skin and look her in the eye, "You're beautiful princess."
She starts to speak, I slide a hand up her arm and cup her chin, silencing her. Holding her head in one position.
I repeat myself, whispering in her ear, "You're beautiful princess. Every man wants you."
I slide my cock into her, she's not quite ready and gives a small groan.
I hold myself still in her, not thrusting, not rocking my hips, just still. Allowing her to feel the depth of my lust.
"Look at yourself princess."
Her eyes remain locked onto mine in the mirror.
"Look at yourself," more forcefully, not threatening, not a raised voice.
Slowly her eyes roll away from mine to her own.
"See yourself love. See the beautiful woman. See her as I see her."
Keeping one eye on the mirror I return to kissing her neck and shoulders. My tongue darts out to tease the skin of her neck, my lips brush past her shoulder.
My lover tries to roll her head forward, to look down to where we are joined and not moving.
I won't let her, guiding her head back to the position of looking directly at the mirror. At me. At herself.
"I want you to know how hard I am for you. Remember it. When you look at me outside, in our public lives. I am this hard for you. Always."
I slide myself free from her soaking flesh and turn her in my arms. We kiss each other, hungrily.
I break the kiss and lead her with one hand towards the shower, spraying hot in the bath. Pulling back the curtain, I indicate she should step in before me.
"Let me wash you love, then we need to get dressed."
She steps into the shower, allowing the spray to soak her hair, plastering it in heavy strands to her head and body.
She turns and looks at me, the water running down her face and I can't tell where her tears are.
Without speaking I kiss her forehead and stepping into the stream of water, hold her head to my chest.
After a few moments pause, I turn her around and reaching for the shampoo, squirt a little into my hands and start to work it through my lover's hair.
Leaving the soap on her hair, I pick up the body lotion she likes and start to soap up her body, working my way down from her shoulders, massaging her and using the soap as my lubricant to soothe her.
She purrs under my touch, my hands following the muscles of her back, down to the gentle curve of her ass, ascending again on her abdomen and chest. She gasps as I start soaping her breasts and I spend some time there, deliberately, for her own pleasure as well as mine.
I turn her to face me, "Tilt your head back," I tell her.
Squeezing her eyes shut against the water flow, she rolls her head back into the stream and I run my hands through her hair, rinsing the soap all the way to the ends.
Taking the shower head in one hand, I move it around her body, sluicing the suds from her with my other hand.
I notice my lover's kept her head tilted back and her face is still scrunched up against the water flow, even though it's playing over her body now.
I angle the jet upwards towards the top of her thighs as I lean forwards and kiss her squarely on the lips.
