Before she wakes in the morning, I slip into her room and hide myself in the shadows. Even as she sleeps, the radiance of her beauty nearly blinds my eyes. Her lithe arm rests upon a crumpled pillow, her chin tucked just below the warmth of the comforter. I want her. I should take her now, as she sleeps, without warning. But, even as I contemplate the act, she rolls over, her eyes open, and she sits up in bed.
The comforter falls carelessly away, exposing the delicate curvature of one bare breast. Its pink nipple fills my vision for the moment, and my mouth begins to water. I shrink back further into the shadows, even though I know she could not possibly have caught sight of me. She leans forward, stretching and arching her back like some giant jungle cat. Will I see that same cat in her actions and reactions later? And her back! Perfect and unblemished, like a new canvas awaiting the artist's stylus to forever mar it's beauty. My desire is almost unbearable and I feel the first stirrings of that loathsome animal between my legs.
She rises and gathers up a few things for the bath. Her fluid movements are soft, yet outstanding in their nudity. She becomes an unwitting temptress as she moves about, flaunting that which I so desire. She shall pay later for her indiscretion. She slips into a terrycloth robe of pure white that must be as nothing next to the softness of her skin, hiding from my eyes the objects of my lust. She leaves the room to go to the shower just in time for surely I would not have been able to resist taking her for much longer. Ahhh, but it will be better this way. Now I shall have her clean and fresh, as close to virginal as any man, save , of course, her first. While she is away I try to steal from her bed the scent of her frame. Cigarettes! No matter. All that will be washed away when she returns. And her true scent would only serve to torment me in her absence. I return to my shadows, and wait.
She returns through the door like a breath of fresh Spring. She has bathed, and her silken, tawny, shoulder-length hair has been replaced by a damp turquoise towel. She moves toward the sink, where I know the inconvenient little door will be used to block her actions from my view. As much pleasure as I would derive from continuing to watch her morning ritual, having it blocked from my view is a thought most intolerable! I must have her now!
Like lightning I am behind her, right hand over her mouth before she can utter a sound, left arm about her middle pinning her arms to her sides. She tries to turn to see who it is that has her, but I am too quick. All she manages to do is shake the towel loose from her head. I whisper silently in her ear "Shhhh. You know I won't hurt you, but I can only be taunted for so long."
As I inhale, that which I tried to steal from the bed fills my nostrils. Her scent! Fresh and clean. It is tangles in her hair and clings tenaciously to her body. But with every breath I tear a little of it away and make it mine. I can't bear to be this close to her and not test the softness of her skin. I must know it's touch, like that of a peach. I trail soft butterfly kisses down her neck from her ear and across her exposed left shoulder, tasting my way along her body, forcing her scent onto my tongue. As I make this journey I feel her relax just a bit, the tension brought about by my swift and sudden arrival ebbing away. Good, she will enjoy this now.
