Josh closed the lid of the laptop, and rubbed his eyes. "I'm glad I got that sorted – sorry it took so much of the evening, darling."
Sarah shook her head, smiling. "It's fine. I've just managed to finish the book I've been reading."
She put the novel by her chair, and got up to stand behind him, starting to massage his shoulders. Josh closed his eyes, tilting his head back. "That feels better – I hadn't realised how long I'd been sitting there."
Sarah wrapped her arms around him, resting her cheek against his. "Ready for bed?"
"Mm."
Sarah stepped back to let him stand up, and he grinned at her. "Isn't it your turn for our bedtime story?"
She returned his grin. "Already got it worked out. I even have my costume ready."
Josh raised his eyebrows. "OK. So what are our characters?"
Sarah chuckled. "I think you'll like this one. You're the youngest son of a great maharajah, just coming of age, and I'm the most beautiful girl in the harem, sent to introduce you to the arts of love."
She indicated the stairs with her eyes. "So we start with you in your opulent bedchamber, waiting for me a bit nervously."
"OK." Josh climbed the stairs, glancing back once to see Sarah watching him. He went into the bedroom, and settled himself back against the pillows to wait.
After a few minutes he heard the tread of bare feet on the stairs, and Sarah's slim figure appeared in the door, silhouetted in the bright light from the landing. She stood for a moment, then walked gracefully a few steps into the room. Josh watched fascinated as she sank to her knees, pressing her palms together and lowering her head. "My lord," she said deferentially.
He was about to reply, when she rose to her feet again, and Josh was rendered speechless. Somehow Sarah's movements, her body language, had changed, projecting an unmistakeable sensuality that affected Josh as though she'd touched him. She moved closer to the bed, Josh's eyes on her like a bird fascinated by a predator.
She spoke again. "My lord.. I am here for your pleasure."
Josh swallowed nervously, and Sarah smiled. "I know you are not yet used to the ways of women. Do not fear – I will show you everything that is needed."
She reached out her hand, placing it softly on his. "Would it please you to unclothe me?"
She drew his hand towards her, placing his fingers on the loose bow in the silk cord fastening her almost-transparent top. He watched her face as the bow unravelled at his hesitant tug, and she gave him an encouraging smile, tilting her shoulder to let the garment slide to the floor. His eyes drank in her bare breasts, and she breathed in, her nipples lifting. "Touch them?"
Josh let his fingertips trail down her shoulder and over the curve of her breast, slowing as he approached the nipple. "Go ahead," she murmured.
He brushed the nipple, and she closed her eyes, tilting her head a little way back. "Mm..."
She reached out to touch his shoulder, then moved her fingers to his shirt buttons, deftly unfastening the top one, then moving to the next. When three or four buttons were undone, she slid her hand inside, running her fingers over his skin. "So smooth," she whispered.
She finished undoing his buttons, pushing the shirt off his shoulders and bending to kiss his chest. As if by accident, her lips wandered over to a nipple, and Josh gasped as she suckled gently. She smiled against his skin, and slid her hand downwards. "Hmm, seems I'm getting the response I hoped for."
Her fingers tightened, and Josh opened his eyes wider in surprise. Sarah chuckled, and knelt on the floor, unfastening his belt. She deftly slipped his trousers off, then moved to kneel astride him, her gauzy skirt draping over his stomach. She moved against him, placing her hands flat on his chest, and watched his face.
Josh felt warm dampness growing between them, and after a few moments Sarah looked at him with a knowing smile. She moved back, and slipped her panties down, dropping them on the floor and leaning back with her legs parted. "Now you see everything a woman is."
