Was it a dream? I new it wasn't. The fact that I was laying here in the darkness naked gave me a clue, and I smelled of sweat and sex. There is no mistaking that odor.
I fumbled around and found my clothes. I thought about putting them on, but decided against it. Walking across the room I pushed the door open. The light shining through the basement window was almost blinding. I stood there shielding my eyes for several minutes.
I made my way upstairs, holding tight to the railing to keep from falling. As I entered the kitchen I noticed that it had been cleaned, top to bottom. There was a note on the table. I could smell the coffee brewing. I grabbed a cup from the cupboard and filled it, then stumbled to the table and sat down.
The note was from Karen. She had gone shopping and would be back around two. I looked at the clock, it was one-thirty. "Time enough for a shower" I thought as I downed the coffee.
I went to the bathroom and turned the shower on. Waiting several minutes for the steam to fill the room before climbing in. Standing beneath the pulsing jets of water, I felt my head begin to clear. I thought about what had happened the night before, wondering how things would be when Karen returned.
I leaned against the shower wall and let the water spray down. I let my thoughts go and just enjoyed the sensation.
"Paul," a voice called from outside the door. "Are you alright." It was Karen.
"I'm fine." I said, and I really was. "I'll be right out."
I turned off the water and stepped from the shower. Drying off quickly I walked to the sink. The mirror was fogged, but I didn't care. I knew I needed a shave. Grabbing my razor I started to shave the stubble that had accumulated on my face. As the room started to cool rivulets of water began to run down the mirror. Suddenly I stopped, staring into the mirror as the rivulets formed an image. Julie's face appeared in the mirror, soft and kind. She was smiling at me and I knew what she was trying to say.
"Yes," I said, in a whisper. "It is alright. And I love you too."
As I stood there staring, the image seemed to melt away as the water continued to condense on the mirror.
A sense of peace came over me, and I knew it was OK.
Wrapping a towel around me I walked out of the bathroom.
"Nice to see you're up." Karen said from the living room.
"I'll get dressed and be right out." I replied.
I hurried to my bedroom and threw on some clothes. Then I returned to the living room.
Karen was sitting on the sofa. She was wearing a pair of shorts that revealed almost more leg than she had, cut clear to the crotch. Her top was even more revealing, being nothing more than a couple patches that covered her nipples tied together with some string.
Images from the night before flashed through my head as I walked over to her. She stood as I neared her, smiling.
"You like." she said, turning around.
I stared at her, unable to believe what I was seeing. Had last night caused this. I found myself nodding. I had to admit that the view was definitely nice. Her ass cheeks stuck out below the cut of the shorts, and her cunt lips were well outlined in the thin material. Her nipples were hard and poking through the material of the top.
"I like." I finally mumbled. "But Karen, can we talk?"
My mind was a jumble of thoughts, I wasn't too sure of anything. I needed to know what the hell was going on. It just didn't make any sense to me.
Karen moved in close, her lips inches from mine. I could feel her nipples pressing against my chest and the heat from her cunt radiating against my thigh.
"If you really want to talk, we can." she said, her hand brushing lightly against my cock, which was already rock hard.
"I know what you're thinking Paul. It doesn't make any sense to me either. I know we never really got along in the past, but I saw how you raised Julie. I know you loved that child and last night, well, I knew you needed someone, and I was OK with that. I mean, well, I saw you and well, things just sort of happened, and by the time I realized what was going on, I needed it too. And then, well." She looked down at her hands, then back at me.
