It is almost ten o'clock. The darkness fully engulfing the sky at last and he breathes a little easier. He has been watching her for over a month. Every night the same routine. The sound of the door, the gentle bark of her dog, grown accustomed to his scent so nearby, it barely even gives a nod in his direction anymore. The long length of leg that peeks from under her towel. Her hair still wet, shining in the soft glow of her back door light.
His cock stiffening, right on schedule. He tenses a little, eases into a more comfortable position, and watches. She calls to the dog, a clucking of her tongue and the little beast trots obediently to her side. Oh, if only he could call to her, have her come to him so easily. He is lost in his thoughts, comfortable in the knowledge that in just moments, he will have the pleasure of watching her prepare for bed. Every night, the same ritual, shower, dog, undress, bed.
And while he watches, he will ease his cock from his trousers and stroke one out for her, here in the bushes, so close to her that he imagines he can smell the baby powder, the shampoo, and her sex.
Long minutes pass and the light in her bedroom does not come on. He frowns, checking his watch, something is wrong. What can she be doing? Why is she not in her bedroom, where he can see her? He swats absent-mindedly at a mosquito, swallowing the build up of saliva in his mouth.
He lets another full minute pass, then rises from his crouch, peeks over the bushes to find she has crept up on him in the darkness, her bare feet making no sound on the soft grass. He loses his balance, stumbling backwards, and lands on his ass, limbs tangling in the dense undergrowth.
She smiles at him, her eyes shining, pretty red lips parting to show a row of perfect teeth, and the soft tinkle of her laughter as she stares down at him, then extends her hand.
He shakes his head, to stall for time, and when she doesn't pull her hand away, he slips his into hers. She braces herself, and as he allows himself to tug slightly as he stands, it is just enough movement for her towel to drop to the ground.
He holds his breath, waiting for her to pull back, grab the towel and run back to her house. But, she just stands there, naked, staring into his eyes, almost daring him to reach out and touch her. So he does, at last, his free hand snaking forward, long fingers grazing lightly at the side of her breast, following the contour, feeling that warm flesh under the coolness of his fingertips.
She continues her eye contact, but he sees the slight catch in her breath, the quickened thump of the pulse that beats in her neck and the almost imperceptible tug of her hand, pulling him closer. His feet shuffle forward, close enough that his eyes lose focus, vision blurred as her lips press forward, pursed for a kiss. And once again, he delivers what she wants. His hand squeezing around her breast, her hand tighter on his, and the hot wet breath that she breathes into his mouth as a jolt of electricity seems to travel through his balls.
Locked together as time stands still. The air is silent but for the tandem beating of their hearts, the stir of their breaths.
With a groan she pulls away, the magic broken momentarily, until she smiles at him, the desire of her body lighting up her face, making her eyes sparkle in the moonlight.
Her voice breaks the silence as the melodic sound of her voice reaches his ears, "I have been waiting a long time for you to break the cover of the bushes and come to me, but tonight, I thought that I should be the one to cover the distance, and come to you."
He shakes his head, unsure what to say. Embarrassment colouring his cheeks, he can only stare at her, wondering if maybe when he fell he was knocked unconscious, and he is dreaming.
