Amy slid towards Cyrus and rested her head on his shoulder after he laid down next to her. "Welcome back, handsome," she said nuzzling her head, "I still feel good." She wrapped her legs around his and rubbed up against him to remind herself of what they did earlier. Amy tried to remember if she'd ever felt this way cuddling with another lover. Most of her body was telling her,
Girl, you need to sleep
but a small part of her whispered,
just a little bit more please.
She never knew that calm and restlessness could exist in the same exact moment until now.
"I'm glad you liked it," he said in a slightly lower pitch before kissing her on the forehead, "How did you like the lube?"
Amy recalled sticking his fingers in her mouth and how the sent lingered on her lips. Sheepishly she answered, "It smelled nice."
Cyrus chuckled gently before saying, "I mean how did it feel? You know, on my fingers."
"Oh!" Amy felt her face redden in dark, "It felt really good. I've never had a guy used lubricant before," in a subtle effort to tell him she'd want him again she said, "I don't know if I could ever do that without it again." After releasing those words Amy wondered why she couldn't just say things like 'fingered' or 'lube' in normal conversations as easily as her roommate.
They're just words after all.
Amy wanted to change the subject to something that might lead them closer to bed so she threw out, "You know, now I'm craving cherry pancakes. Thanks for that."
"Sorry. Well, how do you feel about blueberry pancakes?"
"Those are great too but there's this breakfast place in downtown that has the best cherry pancakes," her mouth began to water slightly, "They top it with a handmade whipped cream and orange garnish."
"Oh, you mean the one where Karate Chuck's Dojo" he said the title in a mocking tone, "used to be? I pass it on my drive to work."
"That's the one. Margo and I would go meet Jake there every Saturday when they first opened up. We should go there sometime. Just you and me."
"I'd like that," he said rubbing his fingers against her shoulder, "I really enjoy spending time with you."
Part of Amy wanted to squeal in delight but calmly she said, "I enjoy spending time with you too," and then thought to add, "Thanks for the massage."
"Did it feel alright?"
She scratched his chest with a finger, "It felt great."
"By the way," he laughed mischievously, "the landing strip is cute." Amy did know how to react to that compliment. No guy had ever been considerate enough to say anything about the work she put into getting it under control. He broke the silence, "I don't know why I said that. That's not the first time I've said something dumb like that and I just never seem to learn," he said laughing. The tone in his voice wasn't his usual embarrassment but a jovial self-deprecation that she found entertaining.
"I've just never had a guy say anything about it. Well, I guess my first boyfriend asked me to try and shave a little closer but I try not to count that."
"You shouldn't," there was an odd anger in is voice which he meekly corrected with, "or I mean," he paused to arrange his words, "I know it matters to some people but I just think caring about it gets in the way of having a good time," she felt his head shake, "I don't know I've always been indifferent."
"That's good to know," which was her secret way of saying,
Thanks for taking the expectation off.
"Amy," she felt his chest rise and fall as he exhaled, "I'm sorry I haven't been able to hold myself back long enough for normal sex."
"I don't mind," she hoped he could hear the sincerity in her voice, "I like trying new things with you." Amy wanted to tell him the honest truth about how he made her feel,
He's the first guy to actually make me orgasm.
She felt like it would be a huge compliment but what if he asked more questions? Then she'd have to explain that she faked it with every other guy which would mean admitting she's lied to exes in the past.
He doesn't want a girlfriend who's a liar.
And then she remembered a far more significant lie,
I still haven't told him about the cage or that magic is real but not as cool as you think or that I'm a witch and...
Honestly dear perverts, the river of self loathing just flows on and on from there. Luckily for Amy, she was probably with the prince of self loathing.
"There's something I should tell you. Or I guess, want to tell you something wrong with me. The thing is," he gulped, "I'm still a virgin. I don't know what the problem with me is but..."
"Oh." Amy realized that this was supposed to be his big reveal but as you dear perverts know, that was the whole reason she ever got here in the first place. She wondered if she should do the surprise party thing, but then a sudden realization came to her mind.
I am a witch and I'm not really sure I want to lock him away anymore, well not forever anyway.
She patted him on the chest, "I don't really think that's a problem."
"Thanks for understanding."
"Good night, Cyrus," she giggled drifting to sleep with a simple but elegant plan.
Cyrus looked up at a darkened ceiling with Amy wrapped around him. He felt like he should be happy to be accepted but he just festered with a familiar confusion. He was fairly certain he wasn't dealing with an ordinary problem but everyone except Margo seemed to ignore it yet he never felt like pressing the issue either. He worried it wouldn't really get him anywhere until he figured something out for himself first. Unfortunately, nothing he tried seemed to get him anywhere and as the years went by, he only seemed to get worse.
