Emily and I had spent a life altering evening together on Friday. At least, I wanted to believe it was life altering. Now that I'd gotten a taste of her sweetness, I wanted more. I wanted to embrace her with my whole heart. But I didn't want to rush things, either. I felt so uncertain.
Saturday morning, after my shower, I wandered around the apartment in my bathrobe. I could have been doing something constructive, but the truth was I just wanted to daydream about the glorious evening we'd spent together. After our kisses the evening before, I hadn't been sure what to do. Emily had solved my dilemma by saying she needed her rest, so I had walked her to the door. She'd turned quickly to brush her lips against mine, and lifted my heart with a promise to see me tomorrow. I felt like I was falling in love – and at a breakneck pace.
While I was musing that morning, I heard a knock at the door. My heart jumped up in my chest. It must be Emily! I ran to open the door. There she stood, signature smile in place. I admired her while she stood in the doorway. Such luminescent skin, such bright eyes. And I couldn't help noticing the way her clothing fitted her soft curves. I gave a rather inelegant gulp as I imagined my hands on her hips.
"Well, are you going to let me in or aren't you?" Emily teased. I grinned and motioned her inside. I wondered what today had in store for us.
"I should get dressed. Why don't you make yourself comfortable, and I'll be right back," I said, and started to turn. Emily reached for my wrist, though, to stop me.
"Just a second. Isn't there one room we forgot to decorate last night?" She whispered. I just gaped at her. My eyes were questioning, but hers were sure. "Shall we take a look at your bedroom?" Did she mean what I thought she meant? Goodness knows I wanted to experience Emily fully. Although part of me was worried that things were moving too quickly, another part of me reasoned that we had been waiting ten years.
I tucked away my arguments, grasped her hand in mine, and led her to my room. My knees grew weak as I thought of taking her in my arms. I had never before experienced a woman's touch as I had last night, but it felt so right with Emily. A thought flashed through my mind. Was Emily experienced? Had she ever made love to another woman? Her boldness made me think that she had. But I could not think of a way to ask her, without breaking the mood.
Inside the bedroom, I let her hand go and stood to face her. She was so beautiful! I reached out to caress her hair with my fingertips. Emily took my hand, and brought my palm to her lips. She kissed it, then kissed her way from my wrist up my arm – pushing back the sleeve of my robe as she went. Her lips lingered at the inside of my elbow, and her tongue slid out to gently tease my skin. My breaths were coming quickly, as my excitement grew. Emily seemed to sense my anxiousness. She gently took me in her arms, holding me tight.
"I want this experience to be everything it can be for you. I want you to tell me what you're feeling, any worries you might have." She smoothed my hair as she whispered in my ear. My eyes must have given my emotions away. I wanted this so much, but I was also unsure of how to progress. The new emotions threatened to overwhelm me.
"Why don't we lie down and relax, sweetheart. We can just talk for a while." I smiled at her use of the term, 'sweetheart'. I should have known Emily would be patient and understanding. We settled ourselves on the bed, me lying on my back. She took off her glasses, allowing me to admire fully the beauty of her eyes. She lay beside me, an arm crossed over my stomach. She gently caressed my arm as she began to talk.
"Now, I think I know what you're wondering. You've never been with a woman before, have you?" Her gentle tones and the massaging of my arm set me at ease. I murmured a 'no' in answer to her question.
