After finishing his bath, Marcus seemed to be trying to avoid me for the next hour or so. I figured he was trying to figure out how to deal with what had just happened between us, what it all meant, and perhaps, just how improper it had been, or
was
it improper for that matter.
I let him have his space for a while. If he needed to think things over, I didn't want to interfere with that. But after better than an hour, I decided it was time to step in and perhaps help him settle his mind a bit, or completely blow it.
He was standing on the front porch, leaning against one of the posts next to the steps, staring up the empty dirt trail running in front of our farm.
I eased up behind him, slid my arms around his narrow waist, snuggled up against him, and laid my head on his broad back. "What's wrong, Marcus? Something really seems to be working your mind overtime," I questioned. "If you still wanna go to town, I think you should go."
"It's not that. My mind is going around in circles about what we did this afternoon," he replied.
"You didn't do anything except enjoy what I was doing for you. If you're worried you did something wrong, you can shake that outta your head right now, cause you didn't," I said.
"Well, I got a lot to think about," he replied.
"Are you upset with me because of what I did?" I asked.
"Gosh no! That was the most wonderful thing anyone has ever done for me. I never felt so great before," he replied.
"You liked that, did ya?" I asked, hugging him closer.
"Oh yeah, I loved it," he answered.
"Well, what's bothering you about it?" I pressed on.
"It's kinda embarrassing," he said.
"What I did embarrassed you?" I asked.
"No, the things runnin' through my mind are embarrassing to talk about," he said.
"Things like what? You should be able to talk to me about anything without being embarrassed," I kept pressing him, I had to know just what was bothering him. For all I knew at that point, I might have ruined everything because of a few moments of uncontrolled passion earlier that day.
"Okay, if ya really wanna know. That was the first time I ever did anything with a woman. I've never even kissed a girl before," he finally opened up. "I mean, I didn't even know what I was supposed to do. I felt so stupid."
"You're not supposed to know what to do yet. I would've been disappointed if you had," I explained. "You did just what you should've done, sit there and enjoy something a woman was doing just for your pleasure."
"Well, I guess I did it right then, cause that's just what I did," he smiled. "But I know there's things I was supposed to do to make you feel good too, I just didn't know
what
. Even if I had known what, I wouldn't have known
how
."
I almost had to laugh at his innocence, but I fought it off. Instead, I hugged him just that much tighter. "You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say that," I said. "I love the idea of being your first and teaching you the right way to please a woman and yourself. If you listen to what the guys in a saloon tell ya, you wouldn't be pleasing nobody except yourself."
"Living out here in the middle of nowhere like this, today was probably all the sex I'll have for a long time," he replied.
"Wouldn't you like to do it with me again," I asked, using my best I'm-disappointed voice.
"Of course I would, but after my
great
performance this afternoon, I'm pretty sure you're not gonna be too interested in me anymore," he said. "I got so mad at myself for not knowing what to do. I mean, there were things I
wanted
to do, but I was afraid you wouldn't like it and make me stop, or even worse, get mad and stop doing what you were doing."
"What kind of things, Honey? What did you want to do to me?" I asked, still trying to coax some answers from him. "Did you want to touch me?"
He shook his head, yes, but said nothing.
"Where?" I pressed on. "Did you want to touch my breasts?"
"It was even worse than that. I know this is gonna sound really bad, but I actually wanted to kiss them," he said in a quiet voice, his face glowed red.
"What's so bad about that?" I asked, backing away from him a little and starting to slowly unbutton my blouse behind him.
