The intensity with which he looked at her began to make Wendy feel self conscious. Never before had she been the instigator of a sexual liaison. Suddenly she began to nervously reassess the situation.
"Ben, I'm not sure if...." her voice trailed off as his cool fingers moved to her lips, shushing her.
"I'm sure, sweet Wendy." Came his low response.
His hand moved up to brush her hair away from her forehead as Wendy sighed and willed herself to relax. He moved forward, one hand on the small of her back and the other gently stroking her hair.
"You can leave anytime but I really hope you'll stay. I may be old but I've got a lot of love to give and I can't think of anyone I'd rather share it with than you right now."
Wendy locked eyes with him and saw him for exactly what he was, a very lonely man in need of passion and yes, even love.
She slowly nodded and then whispered, "I could sure use that right now."
Ben smiled and leaned in for a soft kiss. Wendy's lips parted and she eagerly licked his lips. All second guessing ended as they came together in ravenous desire, their lips and tongues insistent and unquenchable.
After a time Wendy moved back and took both of his hands, leading him over to the bed. Wordlessly she turned to pull back the covers as he hurried to the other side of the bed and began to do the same. Then they both moved onto the bed facing each other.
