Chapter14
At first, Rachael had assumed it was a dream; she fancied herself lying in a soft, warm bed, with her lover wrapped protectively around her. His plans for her were becoming evident, first from the hot hardness pressed against her bottom. His fingers were beginning to stimulate her, first from behind and then having gently rolled her onto her back, directly from the front. Her first, foggy thought was that this was the sort of dream she could really get to like, and that under no circumstances did she want it interrupted. Such caprices were all too often impossible to regain when lost. Instinctively, she curled onto her side, in a foetal position. Something hard and stiff and warm was entering her. In her semi conscious state, it seemed no more real than what'd passed to date. She'd had dreams like this before; a disembodied presence, using her to mutual satisfaction. The presence partly withdrew, and entered again, repeating the motion until it had established the rhythm of gentle sex.
The indications that this was no dream began to enter her fogged consciousness. The squeak of bedsprings echoed as he adjusted his posture; the intrusion slipping from her, a soft voice expressing a muffled curse. He made a clumsy and ineffective attempt to re-enter her, and she tensed, suddenly awake and in momentarily unfamiliar surroundings. There was a warm hand, firm on her hip.
A voice in the dark - "Are you awake?"
Recognition stirred as she placed the voice, bringing with it a new wave of arousal. She spoke:
"Patrick...what ARE you doing? Don't you know it's rude to have sex with an unconscious woman?
"You weren't asleep. Or of you were, you respond remarkably well to foreplay when you are."
She could feel his penis, warm and heavy pressing again at the juncture of her thighs. She reached behind her, and caressed it.
"That'll go in a lot more securely from the front." she whispered.
The darkness wasn't absolute, she realised. One corner of the room was lit by a soft glow from the banked stove. It was sufficient for her to see him as a dark shape, moving to settle herself between her knees. Then he was over her, supporting himself on his elbows, placing no weight on her at all.
"Let me" she whispered. She found him with both hand and guided him. She placed the head at her already part open inner lips, before raising both arms to wrap them around his neck.
Her wish had been for something gentle, relaxing, as befitted what she assumed would be their last coupling of the weekend. His entry into her was indeed as slow and gentle as she could have wished. From the very first, however, it was far from relaxing. She was transported back over a year, to the first time he'd entered her. As he slid into her, he was muttering endearments; much as she wanted to reciprocate, she was speechless.
During the foreplay, she'd felt that there was no way that she could have felt any urgency this time. After all, they'd made love just a few hours before, as they'd gone to bed. This midnight coupling was unexpected β and unwanted?
That illusion was dispelled within moments. She raised her legs, crossing them behind his buttocks, suing them to press him deep. Rachael found her voice.
"Oh, Lord. That's lovely. Now, fuck me."
He responded, adopting a steady tempo. It wasn't long before she found herself urging him on. Their earlier lovemaking had been subdued. Now she wanted something more unrestrained.
"God, I love this. I don't know how I lived without this. I love it being so deep."
She was staring up at him. Even in the dim firelight, he could see wildness in her eyes. She continued.
"Faster"
She was thrusting back at him, propelling him to a faster rhythm. He was now moving his hips in a corkscrew motion, causing the head to push at and stretch the upper parts of her vagina in different ways with each stroke. The sensation was rapturous, making her less coherent, more vocal. She was overcome by a need to share her delight.
"That's it. Like that. Keep doing it and I'll come. I love it when you make me come being inside me."
Then
"God, how did I manage to go a year without this? It's only you that makes me feel like this, makes me come when fucking me."
Even in her elated state, she felt that wasn't a sentiment she should have shared. She couldn't stop herself, though. He slowed for a moment, his knees slipping on the bed sheets. She groaned in complaint.
"Don't stop. I'm getting close"
He lowered his mouth close to her ear, "Me too."
Rachael was galvanised. Her peak was rapidly approaching. Somewhere in the back of her mind, a small, lucid part of her brain was sounding an alarm, but she could pay it no heed. Her climax hadn't quite yet started when he stiffened, and grunted. She sensed, rather than felt the gush of his fluid within her. It was sufficient, though. They were coming together, their mouths seeking each other. His thrusting slowed. Rachael spoke first.
"Stay inside. Stay in me."
Aftershocks were rippling through her walls, clutching at him. Carefully he moved his upper torso to her left before lowering himself to the bed. It left their legs tangled awkwardly together. He murmured.
"You're gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous". Within seconds, he was asleep.
She was content to wait as her internal tremors slowed, then stopped. She was in a soft haze of contentment, drifting to join her lover in slumber. She moved to untangle their legs, but carefully, in order to keep him within her, plugging her, retaining his semen in her..
On the very edge of sleep, an unformed thought nagged at her. That same alarm that had been discounted earlier. What was it?
Ah. She had it. The moment when she'd slid from the bed, following their earlier love-making, to clean herself in the bathroom and to removed the diaphragm. There was none of the alarm she knew she should have felt. In the comforting warmth of her post-coital glow, it was easy to reassure herself with the thought that the pills would provide sufficient protection. Even as her thoughts slowed, she found something satiating and primal in the idea of her lover's sperm bathing her unprotected womb.
This time, the general vagueness left few doubts it was definitely a dream. She was at some form of gathering. The event being celebrated wasn't clear; what was though was that she was the centre of attention. It was obvious why. She was heavily pregnant. Her swollen belly and breasts suggested, by the standard of her one prior experience was she was seven or eight months gone. She seemed to be dressed in a short, tight clinging dress. The dress, in fact, she'd worn on the night she'd first met Patrick. Nor was it just the dress, she was clad exactly as she'd been then, down to hose, bangles, necklaces, earrings and shoes. The shoes were a problem, with her unbalanced body. She was naked below the thin material of the dress, her enlarged nipples prominent. There was something else. She was feeling very, very horny. For Rachael, her first pregnancy had been the most sexually aware time of her life. By the time she'd reached the advanced stage she seemed to now be at, Alistair could have made love to her each night and morning, and she'd still have been happy to have had more. This time, the symptoms seemed redoubled.
The room was and odd combination of unfamiliar, but commonplace; perhaps the function room of some anonymous chain hotel. Most of the people that filled it were known to her, though. They were acquaintances and friends, work and university colleagues, distant family. Also, she somehow knew, closer family were due to attend, but weren't there yet. There was, she noted, an undercurrent of muttering, of comments passed behind hands, as she moved amongst the guests.
"Rachael." Some feet away was the welcome sight of Lesley and Kate - probably her two closest friends, known as far back as schooldays. They fussed over her, congratulating her, assuring her that she looked well. More than well, in fact:
