Chapter 16
In the Morning Light
I must have slept like the proverbial log, hardly stirring all night long, and when I woke I was pleasantly surprised to find that in spite of the events of the previous night I felt fully refreshed. Even so I lay there for a few moments, and as I gradually made the transition from sleep to wakefulness I recalled much of the excitement we had shared, so it was some time before I realised that the bed beside me was empty.
But I only had to turn my head to see Lucy, she was up but still resting, obviously lost in thought as she sat on the bench-seat in the bay window.
She was sitting sideways on to me, her bare feet up on the cushioned top, and her arms around her knees, which she had pulled up close to her chin. Shafts of the early morning sunshine angled in from just above one shoulder, lighting up her face as she stared out of the window, and as it always did, her sheer loveliness simply overwhelmed me. So as she didn't know I had woken I remained silent, lying there and taking the opportunity to quietly enjoy just looking at her.
She had put on a short, semi-transparent nightie but because of the angle of the light I could see her body in silhouette, and in the space between her arms and legs, the outline of her perfectly shaped breasts. But tempting as that sight always was, and in spite of the first stirrings of response it stimulated in me, at first I was quite content to focus on her face. Not just the classic beauty of her profile, but looking at every tiny detail; her skin's subtle tones of colour, the delicate curves of her ear, eye-brow and mouth.
There was an air of complete innocence about her, innocence verging on vulnerability. But vulnerability of a sort that stirred feelings the total opposite of those I had felt a few hours earlier, when she was tied nakedly down. I wanted to care for her, shield and protect her, guard her not only from danger, but even from any sort of trouble or unpleasantness.
But at the same time, at another much more basic level, I knew I also wanted to see the look in her eyes when we made love, see the rapture, and hear her cries of overwhelming pleasure when I took her to orgasm.
I suppose it wasn't really surprising that those thoughts prompted an even stronger response somewhere deep inside me, and I became aware that my cock had begun to slowly stir.
I had been watching her for several minutes before I noticed a small frown furrowing her brow. She continued staring out of the window for a few moments longer then, with a deep sigh she turned, closed her eyes and dropped her head down on to her knees.
Her apparent distress worried me and although still naked I slid out of bed and padded across the room. But because she was so deep in thought, she seemed not to hear me, even when I sat down on the other end of the window-seat, facing her. I was about to reach out, to say something, to ask what was wrong, when my eye was caught by what I could see.
From where I was, with the sun-light above and behind her shoulder, I shouldn't have been able to see up into the shadowy space between her up-drawn legs. But thanks to a purely decorative mirror on the wall behind me, which was reflecting a single shaft of sunlight straight up under the short night-dress, I could. I could see all the way up the length of the insides of her silky smooth thighs, see right up to their apex. And there, nestling between them and picked out by that stray shaft, I could see her honey-blonde pubic hair, and below it, her pussy.
Although at one level of my mind I was still concerned by what might be worrying her, the sight was stirring, and at the same time triggered a strange line of thought. Of the sheer blissful ecstasy a woman's pussy could give a man. Pleasure so strong that by being able to award or withhold it, that relatively small part of a woman's anatomy actually had truly awesome power over men. So much so that history was littered with stories of those who had lost everything; position, authority, wealth, lost them all as a result of their pursuit of one particular pussy.
But the sight also brought back memories of the feelings of indescribable joy she had given me just a few hours earlier. And those flooding memories brought an even stronger response from my cock and I felt it starting to stiffen.
Then my mind clicked back to reality, and in that moment I realised something odd about what I was looking at. In those circumstances, with Lucy apparently worried about something, I would have expected to see her pussy's delicate pink lips tightly furled. But they weren't, they were flushed, puffy, glistening moistly in the reflected sun-light.
Wondering about that I finally reached forward and rested my hand on hers. 'Good morning my darling.' I said softly.
She had been so deeply immersed in her thoughts that my touch and the sound of my voice made her almost jump out of her skin. 'Oh! Oh Jack! I, I didn't know you'd woken.' she said nervously. 'Have you been up long?'
'Just a couple of minutes. You look as though something's worrying you?'
'Worried? Me? No, why?'
'You were frowning.'
'Was I? Well I promise I wasn't worried.' she said with a smile. 'How could I be worried about anything when I'm with you.' she added, reaching out and pulling my head forward and kissing me.
I was frankly surprised at how much passion was behind that kiss. Surprised but of course delighted, and when I felt her other hand sliding up along my thigh, I felt a sudden rush of blood to my already rising cock.
'Aah, that's nice!' she whispered, gently biting my neck as her fingers found and then closed around the stiffening length. 'If you still want to know, that's what I was thinking about. Remembering just how marvellous you were last night.'
What she said explained why her pussy had looked the way it had, and realising she was already turning-on, I slid my free hand along the seat between her legs, then turning it and slipping my fingers underneath her bottom, I lightly pressed the heel of my palm against her pussy.
'Ah that's nice too!' she said softly, at the same time starting to gently stroke her fingers up and down the rapidly hardening shaft of my cock. 'I lay watching you sleeping for quite a while.
At first of course I was remembering last night. The things you did, the way you made me feel, the excitement of it all. Then I couldn't get over the feeling that this was all just a dream.
Meeting you the way I did. Then falling in love with you. Loving what we do together. Then hearing you tell me that you loved me too. And all the other wonderful things, the presents you've bought me, sharing your house, your life.
It's all just too bewildering. But wonderful Jack, so very wonderful.' she added as her hand continued lightly stroking me.
