Before... before the beginning, I had been told by many that I was defective. But also before the beginning - meaning before "we" dreamt of being sexual with one another - "he" said that I was not. I knew that he cared about me and that he wanted the best for me. I thought that having him - us having one another, to learn and care for each other, would "be the best," I knew that I could "care for him" - so we talked. Okay, at first I was the one who was talking. But he listened, really listened, and he didn't walk away.
In the beginning I just dreamt of being intimate with him. I dreamt of being "with" him when I was "alone" with myself. Alone pleasing myself, which was a "good" - but not a "great" activity. I talked to him about "us" in broad strokes. His viewpoint - which was positive while remaining practical - and his reaction - basically that he didn't turn away from the discussion screaming - gave me the courage to wordlessly ask for him to "be mine."
He took my hint and asked me. Then - after the beginning - so many wonderful days went by. There were so many first times. My first "real" kiss, my first beneath my clothes feel, my first "tingling" caused by his hands feeling me beneath my clothes. The first time I wore nothing but a big tee-shirt for him and showed him my naked bottom. Then I slowly turned around so he could see my naked front. Then I even more slowly lifted that shirt off.
The first time I felt his lips caressing my body. His mouth on my chest, my breasts, my belly, my thighs, my butt, and my pubes. The first time that I reciprocated and my lips made that same wonderful journey on his naked body. The first night that I slept, actually slept, naked in his arms.
