How clearly I remember my first lover. Who knew of him, with his blazing blue eyes and crooked smile, but me? None of them knew; I kept him well hidden. For who would have understood our solitary passion? How might he be explained to the girls who chattered incessantly about who was seen holding hands with whom? What might they have thought? My love would be lost on them. I told nobody.
Oh, but the times we had. At night, when all was quiet, I would gaze out my bedroom window into the deep blue sky, following the airplane lights with my eyes as he climbed into bed next to me. I stared at the moon as he whispered into my ear, reminding me that I was a woman now, desirable and lovely. I would feel the cool air from the window blowing his touch on my face, stroking my cheek, tracing my lips until my tongue reached out to lick them.
His hands would roam over my nightgown, tracing the outline of my full breasts.
"They're beautiful." His fingers probed around the outline of my breasts beneath my nightgown as he breathed these words into my ear. "The essence of woman."
I sighed as I began to feel my nipples growing erect against the fabric. His voice, now a husky whisper, revealed his desire. "Can you lift up the gown, sweet one? Can I touch them?"
Yes, I could, and did, and before long I removed it entirely. For long minutes he stroked my breasts and cupped them, as I lay staring at the moon. The words he whispered sent fire through me, awakening places that barely knew life yet. He took my hand and asked me to let him move it, to pretend it belonged to him. With my assent he ran my fingers across my breasts and traced the outline of my nipples. I glanced down in the darkness trying to see them come to life. How they would spring out as my fingers danced over them, squeezing them and rubbing them from side to side. Circling them lightly, around and around until they seemed to reach for the ceiling craving more. Then both hands cupping my breasts, teasing the nipples wildly, and I could feel his tongue brush against them with the cool April air.
The true woman awakened inside me; I could feel her dripping from me. She screamed for attention, as I closed my eyes and gazed into his. He looked at me lovingly, hungrily, and glanced my body over. He stopped whispering to me, instead taking my hand and easing it down to my panties, drawing a line down the hidden cleft. His lips almost kissed my stomach as my left breast and nipple still received the attention from our hands. He poked with my finger through the material, and I wondered how it could be so wet there that it could be felt right through the cotton.
