He had broken up with her, again. I wanted to tell her to move on, to forget him, but she was still insisting that she loved him. So I told her as much of the truth as she would listen to, that she deserved to be treated so much better than this, she deserved to be worshipped. I hated to see her look so sad, and only wished I could somehow bring a smile back to her face.
While Jess shared her story, we shared a bottle of wine. By the end we realised she wouldn't be able to drive home, so I gave her a t-shirt to wear and we settled into bed. She curled up, her back to me, and I lay behind her, holding her close to me with one arm, and stroking her hair gently with the other. We had slept together this way many times before, and were totally relaxed and comfortable with each other.
She turned round, so her face was inches from mine, our noses touching. I could smell her shampoo as I kept stroking her hair. Her arm was round my waist now, and she started to gently scratch my back. I tried to keep my breathing steady, but the feel of her fingernails was turning me on, especially when she slipped her hand under my t-shirt and was scratching my bare skin.
I wanted her, I wanted to kiss her. She was so close, but I was terrified that she might not feel the same way. As I was silently debating what to do, I realised her hand was wandering further down my back, sending a delicious shiver up the length of my spine. Slowly but surely she was getting closer to the waistband of my thong. Jess was breathing faster; I could almost feel her heart racing in time with my own. I tilted my head and kissed her, tentatively. She instantly responded, and as soon as we realised we both wanted this, things moved quickly.
