“No. Yes. I don’t know.” I throw my hands up in frustration. “I’m in unfamiliar territory here, Shaun. I don’t know what to do, what to expect.”

“Well, what do you want?” He crosses his hands over his chest, standing unashamed in all his naked glory.

Meanwhile I fumble around, shifting from one foot to another, crossing my hands over my breasts, wishing a robe would suddenly materialize around me. “Me?”

“Yes, you. The delightfully spunky woman who was beginning to show more confidence.The beautifully naked woman who just gavemesome of the best experiences in my life.”

“Really?” I whisper.

Shaun unfolds his arms, bringing them to my shoulders. “Yes, Abby, really. So tell me, what is ityouwant?”

Without hesitation, I say exactly what is running through my mind. “I want to shower and eat and do this all over again until morning comes.”

His face transforms as a brilliant smile emerges. “Good to know we’re on the same page.”

It’s my turn to smile as I throw my arms around him.

So, after our giddy hug—well, I felt giddy, I don’t think guys feel giddy—we take turns showering and dressing, and then decide to go out for dinner. While out, we make a stop by my place so I can check on it and grab some different clothes. After dinner, we buy ice cream and more condoms, and return to his place to watch a movie.

While in the process of devouring the ice cream, I show Shaun just how much confidence I’ve gained as I begin my plan of devouring him. I take his bowl out of his hands and set it aside, and before he can protest, I kneel before him. He certainly doesn’t protest when I work on his shorts, and he assists by lifting, allowing me to slip them off. We stare at one another as I take his hard length in my hands and stroke him until he closes his eyes, his moan breaking the silence.

I touch my tongue to his tip, tasting the drop of salty sweetness before I wrap my lips around him and take him all the way into my mouth.

“Damn, Abby,” Shaun groans. “That feels fantastic.”

His fingers thread through my hair, gently massaging my scalp while all I do is purr with excitement, knowing I’m making him feel good. My pace increases, and so does the force of my suction as Shaun’s hips begin to move. I continue my efforts, and I know he’s close when he tries to get me to stop.

“Abby, wait… I don’t… I can’t…” His voice is raspy and sexy, and I’m thrilled I can be the cause of that. I’m also unbelievable turned on as well.

He tries to still my movement, but I’m more determined than ever as I fist the base of his erection and give one more pull, causing him to explode. With a guttural cry, his body quakes and I swallow down all he has to give. I continue to watch his gorgeous body as he begins to relax, and after releasing him, he opens his eyes to look at me. We smile at each other.

“You are amazing,” he says. Then he’s reaching down to haul me onto his lap, sealing his lips to mine.

I close my eyes and begin to lose myself in his kiss. I feel one arm wrap around my back before I’m startled by his hand easily working its way into the lounge pants I changed into earlier, my garments doing nothing to deter him. I gasp as I open my eyes and see his wicked grin. He plunges his fingers inside me while stroking my clit with his thumb, and I instinctively rock my hips, moaning my approval.

“That’s it, Abby, your turn to come.”

It doesn’t take long for my orgasm to break, and Shaun covers my mouth, stealing my screams as I shatter.

Once my body returns to somewhat normal, Shaun removes his hand from between my legs to wrap his arm around me and pull me close. My arms go around him as well, thoroughly enjoying the feel of our bodies close.

“I think it’s time for sleep,” he whispers.

“Mm hmm, I’m already half-way there.”

Shaun chuckles as he maneuvers us off the couch and into the bedroom where we shed the remainder of our clothes before climbing into bed.

After the uncertainty I felt earlier, I fall asleep in Shaun’s arms feeling certain tomorrow will be a brighter day.

Even if it is a Monday.

****

Monday morning quickly comes and goes with more toe-curling sex, a run in the park, followed by more sex in the shower, followed by breakfast. Since I wasn’t expected back to work until Tuesday, we’d have another day to spend entirely with one another.

And Shaun made it pretty clear he wanted to spend every moment with me. Was I going to argue? Absolutely not. I couldn’t have been happier. And I made that pretty clear to him too.

Monday afternoon is spent with Sylvia and Millie as they tell us about their visit to the Independent Living Community. It turned out to bethe one. They were so impressed with the facility, the staff, and the other residents that they didn’t even want to bother looking elsewhere.It took a lot of the sadness away knowing that this was going to make them happy. Sylvia and Millie had been best friends for most of their lives. And with no remaining family of her own, Millie was considered family to Sylvia.
