Kevin simply lay down lightly on top of Carol as he regained his strength. She was also coming back down to life and she could feel his heavy breathing and her own. Soon he stepped down from the table and covered up with a nearby robe. Carol rolled over onto her back and pulled the sheet up around her. She smiled at him and said:
"That was quite unexpected and I hope it's not something you will do with every client."
"These are special circumstances, and you are not a client," he responded.
"I guess you're right, and if I am being honest I rather enjoyed the intensity of the internal portion of my massage," she said.
Kevin laughed and said "internal massage, I like that Carol, very clever."
He handed her a robe and she put it on as she gathered up her clothes. She started to get dressed and Kevin asked what she was doing.
"I'm getting dressed so I can go home," she said.
"Do you really want to put clothes on over your oily skin?" he asked.
"Well, I don't see what choice I have," she responded.
"You can stay here tonight. We can wash up and get into bed. I am doing laundry in the morning anyway and can wash your clothes, he said"
Carol stood thinking for a moment, as this would be a big step for them to take in their undefined relationship that seemed to be full of firsts. He assured her it was just a good night's sleep and she didn't need to worry about anything. She agreed as she didn't really feel like dressing and heading out into the dark night. Kevin told her she could have a shower and feel free to use whatever she needed. Carol headed to the bathroom and Kevin cleaned up the massage supplies and put Carol's table back in the bag. He turned down the sheets on the bed and picked out a pair of his boxer shorts and a long t-shirt for her to wear. Kevin made his way into the bathroom and told her he was laying some sleeping clothes out for her. Kevin took a towel and placed it on the rack next to the shower. He opened the shower door and walked in.
"Just what do you think you're doing?" she asked him.
"I am joining you," he said wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her in for a kiss.
"What happened to washing up and going to bed?" she asked.
"Just enjoying your company and not asking for round two" he replied.
They kissed for a while and he ran his hands over her body soaping her up. She felt the soft sensation of his hands and the soap and touch to her sensitive nipples. She also soaped him up as they let the water clean and soothe them. They stepped out of the shower dried off and settled the dogs in for the night before heading for the bedroom. They got into bed and Kevin turned off the lamp and they simply lay there on their backs quietly. It was an odd feeling because they both felt a little awkward, but they really didn't understand why. After all they had shared what was the big deal about sleeping in the same bed. Carol thought that maybe it was the idea that when you slept you let your guard down completely and were vulnerable. After a while of lying on her back Carol rolled onto her side away from Kevin as this is how she preferred to sleep. Kevin lay on his back a minute longer contemplating and then he simply rolled toward her and gently placed his arm around her spooning up against her. Carol felt his arm and his warmth and found it comforting. She began to relax and soon enough she was drifting off to a peaceful sleep.
In the morning Carol awoke earlier than Kevin as she had always been an early riser. She got out of bed and made her way into the living room. The sun was shining through the windows and she felt ready to face the day. She began to do some stretches and get ready for some yoga as she did every morning. It was a short while later when Kevin awoke and reached for Carol, but she wasn't there. He rubbed his eyes and walked out of the bedroom to see where she was. He saw here there in the sunlight doing some of her poses and it was beautiful sight. She appeared so natural, free and pretty all at the same time. She smiled at him and said:
"Come join me."
"I would have no idea what to do," he said.
"I can show you, and as I said before you need to learn to relax if you want to be a massage therapist. Yoga is great for that," she responded.
