Janice -a Woman after Midnight
I was late getting to Deborah's. I'd been away for three months reporting the mess we are making in the Middle East.
I am Peter Fuller. That's what I do, I am a journalist/reporter but the job wrecks one's social life. I have already gone through two broken relationships, being away for so long.
Although Debs and I have been together for three years and purchased a nice little cottage near Winchester, England, she complains all that time that we have actually only been physically together for a period of six months.
"It is not like you are on a nine to five job and we see each other evenings and weekends and sleep together every night. You are off for weeks at a time and I get very stressed about it Peter."
It is understood, who would expect a woman to be that patient in putting up with long absences - unless she really was special, and that's my Debs, I don't know how she puts up with me but I know one thing, it makes me love her all the more and I am absolutely besotted by her, to seriously consider giving up the reporting lark and settling down to being just a writer - like doing my work from home with plenty of time for my girl and our social life, would be a hard nut to crack. I am in my element and love my work very much, I strive to report the facts as they are in my own words which are appreciated, and remaining freelance, I am able to offer my reports to the best bidder.
The vacant space in Deb's double bed has been like it on and off for far too long she complains. And she threatens that an admirer in the film studio has made several advances.
She gets to know the stars too in her work as script supervisor.
"Should I be worried?" I ask myself. I don't think so. She loves me too much.
But when I confronted her about how it must be so harassing for her, as it is with me, to withhold ones natural urges, adding that for a woman she is probably able to handle that; she looked at me daggers.
"You know very well the strength of my passion Peter so don't try to make it better for yourself."
"Well it is the same for me Debs. I just think of you and I am a goner. But that is not like being with you because I love you so much."
I aim to fill that void in our lives regularly; it is a crying shame that a woman like Debs has waited so long. I am taking up a job with Sky local news just undertaking local reporting. I shall miss the excitement of reporting overseas but it is a sacrifice I need to make. And anyway, it will enable me to have more time for my writing projects too
But though I am late Debs lets me in through the door, and greets me with a wonderful open hug , guiding me into the kitchen and fixing me something to eat and drink.
The male in me would much rather want to put that aside for later and be beside her to snuggle up and share her body with mine.
But a woman's practicality being what it is, I resolved that the best thing was for me to get my hunger buds sorted before anything else, and with Debs commenting on the way to my heart was through my stomach and that is what her Mum always said, I had no alternative than to accept.
"After all you need to get back some of that lost vitality if you want to share my bed for the night, Pete. I guess as usual this is just going to be a one night stand and you will be off again tomorrow, right?"
Now she was talking to me again after a brief silence, I knew the absence had made her heart grow fonder and I hoped her lust too. Of course I did, love and lust go together as far as she is concerned Correction; as far as we are concerned. Since I have known her has been a very passionate lover and that's for certain, but she always stipulates 'with the right guy' and so I consider myself very lucky to be her right guy because I have so very much to give her.
I tell her I shall be with her for the rest of the week. She looks at me happily and then says; "Well it is Wednesday today, that'll be four more days if you include the weekend - and then I suspect you will be away for another three months?"
"Yes but that will be the last time I will be parted from you for long periods. You see I have opted to go with the local TV news so I can spend more time at home with you, and perhaps get some writing in too."
"Are you serious Peter?
"Absolutely "
Debs is so very special and I have never known a woman like her, and me treating her the way I do, sometimes I am thinking I ought to be shot. I would be so sorry if she gave me up and could never sleep if she went with another - me thinking that he was getting what should be mine, those so wonderful Debs special's like she was loving for England.
Just the thought that at last I would be sharing her bed and her being had besotted the mind for a week, since I managed at last to get whole week's leave, imagining a whole week with Debs. Heaven!
She smiled like I have never seen for a long time, she was one happy girl. She closed to me and planted the most delicious warm and simulating kiss.
Then suddenly she paused with a wry smile, one of those smiles like she was going to tease me; "Is this because I told you about the guy at the studio making advances?"
"It could be!" I said but then I continued; "It is mainly because I love you so much and cannot afford to lose you."
I thought it best to come out with it and tell her the truth. Debs was so alert she would know anyway if I lied.
I soon tuckered my pizza down as she watched me so endearingly, giving me the occasional smile which said so very much she loved me, her whole face lit up, then I returned her smile and touched her lips with my fingertips, she puckered her lips and smoothed them around my fingers. It was so very suggestive and sensual, then her eyes said everything, how much she needed me as much as I her, and soon we would be gratifying that need, what wonderful feeling that was always present with us.
She whispered how much she had missed me the last few months since we had not been with each other, and how she had endured many lonely nights aching and craving for me.
And I had been the same, so many times, thinking of her especially as my head hit the pillow and the throb set off the strong aching passion that wanted the real thing, and not just self-gratification with only the image of Debs there in my mind-set.
Now she was for real, looking so absolutely right and lovely in a sheer silk and satin negligee which, she said, she had just bought for my pleasure; along with a few other small 'knick-knacks' from Ann Summers, to keep me 'on heat.' (It was that Tiger thing about us again). Not as though she would need anything on that account that night, but the mind boggled as to what else she had bought - but she said as I often remembered her saying before, that I would have to wait, that perhaps if I was a good boy she may just treat me.
"Awe!" I said, "and there was me planning on being a real naughty boy too!"
She chuckled in that certain way and took my hand and led me up the stairs, like we were climbing the steps to heaven, her heaven and mine shared...
She just stood there in her negligee and looked a million dollars, that's all she had to do, to lure me to her den, in my mind were those hot days of summer when she'd purr and make me growl like a tiger. It had been so very long that my nerves were all asunder, the waiting, the hoping, the sheer frustration was now in the past and here she was now, standing there in front of me, looking so wonderful, sexy and inviting.
I guess I had frozen in my stance just gazing at her beauty; she was as stunning as ever she was and then she closed to me, brushing her lips against mine and rubbing her nose to mine as her fingers gently clasped around the back of my neck and teased me there.
