I awoke to the sound of my buzzing purse. I groggily threw myself halfway across Cassie's bed trying to reach the source of the noise. I had already sent my husband a text message informing him that I had drank too much and was staying with a friend for the evening.
I brushed my thumb across the answer button and wearily said, "Hey honey. Everything okay?"
Court sounded just as tired but there was a hint of worry in his voice, "Just making sure you're okay. Don't forget we have the charity golf thing tomorrow at two."
I knew that the concern in his tone wasn't about my safety, but to make sure he got to hit balls with his buddies and that I played the part of the perfect wife.
"I haven't forgotten. I will be home in time to make the salad and look presentable. I'll see you then. Love you."
"Love you back." I hung up and threw my phone back in my purse, and gazed over at Cassie. Her delicate face was quite eloquent in the soft light of the moon shining through the bedroom curtains.
Her features held an elfin quality, chin and nose small with dark sweeping lashes that covered her sleeping eyes. She was such a beautiful woman, so carefree and intelligent. I decided not to overthink how I ended up in in her bed, I just wanted to be near the sweetness of her.
Pulling the sheet over my nude body, I lay back down onto the fluffy pillow; Cassie obviously was a connoisseur of luxury, as the Egyptian sheets softly caressed my body. I hadn't noticed the bedding earlier in my drunken state but I did notice how Cassie's red hair flowed over her pillow while she snored lightly.
I felt my hand reaching out to caress her leg, just the outer portion of her thigh. She stirred at my touch and I felt my face burn with embarrassment, not wanting to wake her. She had given me such pleasure the night before, the orgasm was nothing I had ever experienced.
I turned over and shut my eyes, hoping to forget that I had to be Court's forced date tomorrow for his work cronies.
I quickly began to slip back into sleep when I felt Cassie's leg slowly push between mine. The silkiness of her skin against my own felt like the kiss of a butterfly, so very subtle and light. Sighing, I felt my nipples harden with an electricity that surprised me, in spite of my exhausted state.
This woman had an effect on me that I couldn't fathom, especially at this early hour.
