When we awakened again, the sun was shining in the windows. Belle stirred, her silky hair tickling as she snuggled under my chin, a look of indecent satiation on her face.
“Good morning, baby,” I said, caressing her back. “Happy?”
“Mmmm… you have no idea,” Belle said in a purr. “I feel like butter all over. What time is it?”
I turned my head and looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand. “8:30 of a lovely sunny Saturday morning.”
Belle reared up, a surge of adrenaline wiping the cat-in-the-creamery look off her face, replacing it with alarm. “8:30! I’ve got to get up and get dressed! I have to open the store for a ten o’clock start! I’ll never be able to dress and do my makeup in time!” She started to climb out of bed; I restrained her.
“Hang on a second, Belle,” I said. “You have an assistant manager, right?”
“Yes, but this is her day off,” Belle said, trying to wriggle out of my grasp but not very hard. “She takes Friday and Saturday, I take Sunday and Monday. I don’t like it when neither of us are there to supervise the clerks. The girls are okay, they’re honest, but – “
“You must have some contingency plan for when one of you is sick. Call her up and say you’re sick. Or if you don’t want to do that, ask her for a favor.”
Belle looked at me. “Why?”
I kissed her gently, not trying to initiate something, but to let her know I didn’t want her to go. How to phrase it?
“Because, baby, I think we can be more to each other than just a one night stand. You felt it last night, the same way I did. We owe ourselves the chance to find out.
“You call in sick today, and I’ll call in on Monday. I have enough personal days on the books that I can do that and no one will ask why. That gives us three days to get to know each other outside the bedroom, and of course,” I went on, kissing the side of her throat and pressing just a little with my teeth a la Dracula; she shivered deliciously, “having more fun here too. After four days together, we’ll pretty much know each other and we can decide where we’re going from there. No recriminations, no regrets, no strings if we don’t click, and a solid foundation for us if we do. What do you say?”
Belle looked into my eyes and I fell into hers, noticing gold flecks in then I hadn’t seen in the living room. She settled back down onto my chest and sighed, a finger toying with the hairs there.
“I think that’s a marvelous idea, lover. Let me get to the phone.”
Belle called her assistant manager, who fortunately was up and about. Although I could only hear one side of the conversation, her deputy, also obviously a friend, wasn’t too upset at having her day off canceled. She agreed to do the favor, with the understanding that Belle owed her one. Belle hung up the phone and came back to my arms.
“We’re all set,” she said, her fingers trailing over my chest as she laid her head on the pillows. “No one will bother us here. What would you like to do, baby? I’m yours on a silver platter, after last night.”
“Flattery indeed,” I smiled, my hands roaming over her body. “But I think the first thing we ought to do, before we have breakfast, is take a shower. “Your scent is divine, but I smell like a locker room at the half!”
“Are you kidding?” Belle laughed. “I whiff of eau de goat. I think we both need that shower.”
With a lithe movement, she slipped out of the bed and pulled me up by the hand into a hug, her head on my chest, my chin in her hair and contentment running through both of us. After a minute, she led me into her bathroom.
The master bathroom was typical of a condo: a shower stall and a tub big enough for two if they were friendly, tile floors and walls and a two-sink counter with marble top. Fluffy towels hung off chrome wall racks, and a profusion of feminine beauty products covered most of the counter space. Belle opened the glass shower stall door and turned on the water. We kissed leisurely while we waited for the water to warm up, our tongues touching and tingling as our hands roamed up and down each other’s bodies, stroking sensation from each other like guitarists bringing forth music from their instruments.
Belle took liquid body wash and worked up a lather on my chest. Without haste, she washed her way down my body until she got to my cock. Taking more soap, she used both hands to ‘clean’ it, masturbating me into a raging erection. Sluicing it off, she took me into her mouth, ignoring the water soaking her hair as she sucked it like a Popsicle until it was standing proudly out, ready for action.
She stood up, her firm tits rubbing my chest in the tight quarters. She smiled impishly.
“Your turn, lover,” she said, putting her hands on my shoulders and rocking against me slowly.
I picked up the shampoo and poured a little into my hand. Belle closed her eyes and turned her back to me. I enjoyed the feel of her buttocks pressing against my cock, remembering how this affair had begun the day before. Taking my time, I worked shampoo into her scalp and cleaned her hair, combining the shampooing with a scalp massage. Belle purred under my ministrations, letting me know she approved of what I was doing.
Switching to the body wash, I reached around her and carefully ‘washed’ her breasts, going over every inch of them several times to make sure I got every last bit of sweat and dirt. I paid special attention to the brown roses that tipped them, making sure they harbored no thorns to prick my fingers. She squirmed against me and tipped her head back on my shoulder. I kissed her and sighed as she sucked on my tongue as she had my cock a few minutes before, inviting greater intimacies.
My hands quested farther south, gliding over the curve of her toned stomach and moving to her valley of delight. I worked up a good lather in her pubic hair, cleaning her of our mixed secretions with just a twinge of regret. A man likes to put his mark on a woman he has had, even if only temporarily.
My fingers found her clit and began to caress it. She moaned and leaned against me, pinning me against the stall’s glass wall as she moved her perfect ass up and down, rubbing my cock even as I teased her into full arousal. After a couple of minutes of this mutually-imposed torture, I could feel the oils from her sweet pussy on my fingers. Belle turned around and pulled my head to her, her mouth eager against mine as she kissed me.
