When I woke up in the morning I was feeling just a little despondent. Do brides normally have a let-down the day after the wedding? I don't know about others but I sure did.
The wedding had been wonderful and the reception had been marvellous. I will admit that I was a little disappointed (a whole lot) that we couldn't afford a honeymoon just yet. Still he'd taken me home (his father's place) and we'd had our wedding night. His father had been considerate enough not to come home that night so we had the place to ourselves.
I have to admit that I quite liked David. (That's Brian's father.) He was a cheerful man and nothing ever seemed to get him down. It was typical of him to absent himself for that first night.
As for the wedding night itself I can't praise it enough. Mainly because there wasn't all that much to praise. Disappointing is one way of describing it, but that description is possibly a bit flattering. Still, it had to get better. When you start at the bottom the only direction is up.
I'd risen early, leaving Brian snoring his head off. I'd slept naked, not surprising seeing it was my wedding night, so I slipped on a peignoir and headed for the kitchen and coffee. I'll tell you right now that my peignoir was chosen with a brand new husband in mind. It was totally sheer and I suspected that with any sort of light behind it it would be transparent. It certainly would not be my choice of garment if anyone but Brian was there, but as there wasn't then why not? I'd at least look sexy and glamorous when I went back to the bedroom.
I was leaning on the kitchen island, elbows on the island and chin in my hands, waiting for the coffee to perk. Did I mention that the peignoir was short? It was. Very short. It would cover everything (for a certain meaning of cover) when I was standing up. Apparently not so when I was leaning over a kitchen island resting my chin on my hands.
A hand slid over my bottom and between my legs, cupping my mound and gently squeezing, the owner of the hand not even having to disturb my peignoir.
I froze and my eyes opened wide, stunned.
Why, you ask?
Because that wasn't my husband's hand. His hands were smooth. This hand was calloused and rough. I knew straightaway who owned that hand. It was someone who does hard manual labour, such as bricklaying. Someone like, say, David, who was a brickie.
"David?" I asked, shocked.
"Good guess, kid," he said, continuing to lightly massage me in a very intimate place.
