FERRY-LOVE-BOAT

Chapter 56

Maya's POV:

Warm. Comfortable. Relaxed.

This is how I felt when my body began to awaken, when my dreams were interrupted by the dim light that filled the room and the sound of rain against the window that somehow tranquilized me even more. I opened my eyes and along with them a big smile when I realized that I had Carina pressed against my body as I held her close to me, her back firmly pressed against my front as my face sank into the curve of her shoulder.

That morning I didn't want to jump out of bed, put on my running clothes and go out into the streets of Seattle, I didn't even want a quiet ride on the ferry while enjoying the scenery and a nice cup of coffee. That morning all I wanted was to stay there, clinging to Carina, feeling her chest rise and fall as she lightly snored.

I could hardly believe the night we had had, it could have been a dream, but the light burning in my ass confirmed that it had been real.

Sex had always been a practical thing for me, spreading my legs and trying to get a little pleasure, an orgasm to reward myself for surviving a tough week or a self-care Wednesday, and Carina was changing every single one of my conceptions on the subject. Yesterday was a real proof of that. When she told me that enjoying the ride was much more worthwhile than going straight to the orgasm I questioned her - that's not how I used to think - but in every moment that she brought me to the edge and kept me from cumming I found a new nuance of pleasure that I just didn't know existed.

She made me want more. Want it all. To try everything. To experience every fantasy and possibility. Knowing that Carina loved sex and would be willing to do all of this with me was enough to make me happy and slightly aroused already in these first moments of the morning.

I kissed her shoulder a few times, my mouth delighting in the warm, soft skin, as I moved my lips to the curve of her neck before moving back down to the back of her shoulder. I brushed my teeth across the area when I felt a familiar pressure between my legs - last night didn't appease the fire burning inside me, it just showed me that feeding the flames was much more pleasurable - and I pressed my arm tighter against her stomach to pull her even closer to me.

-Good morning. - I murmured against her skin as soon as I felt Carina move inside my arms.

-Baby. - She murmured back; her voice thick with sleep.

-What? - I asked, still kissing her shoulder.

-Good morning, baby. - She spoke, wriggling so that her bottom was pressed against my front. - That's what you should say after calling me "baby" so many times last night.

-I... - I creased my forehead at her words and then the memories came flooding back and she was right, I really had done that. I felt my cheeks heat up immediately and stopped my kisses against her skin to hide my face against her back. - You call me "bambina" all the time.

-I'm not accusing you of anything, it's not a bad thing. - She laughed. - I love it when you call me "baby".

-Good. - I whispered, still hiding from Carina and then I realized something. - Hey, I'm holding you!

-What? - It was her turn to be confused.

-We went to sleep last night, and I was holding you and we woke up the same way, I'm definitely getting better at being the big spoon. - The words came out of my mouth quickly and Carina laughed along with me.

-Practice makes perfect. - She said and turned around in my embrace, facing me. - Buongiorno, bambina!

-Buongiorno. - I repeated the word and she raised her eyebrows.
