BETWEEN TAKES

V - COMING SOON 🍋

/!\ MATURE CONTENTS /!\

The sun had already been up for more than three hours, but it had been difficult to get out of bed, so much did our bodies love to embrace and warm against each other. The few hours I had been given to sleep were invigorating and dreamless. They were unnecessary now that I was wide awake. I liked to watch her sleeping sometimes, in a deep sleep, half-smiling, clinging to my arm, or her hand resting on my chest. I'd caught her doing the same thing, caressing the back of my neck, then my shoulder, as I wrapped my arm around her waist to keep her still. It wasn't the sun that woke me up, but a draught of fresh air that made me shiver at the lower part of my back. I felt the sheets beside me, squinting, but I couldn't find her. I stood up, convinced for a few seconds that I'd been dreaming of her again, soaking the sheets. But the sound of the shower through the bathroom door made it clear that she was really there. I got up without getting dressed, attracted by the steam escaping from the shower. I saw her slim, perfect figure through the opaque glass of the shower, and stepped in without warning. She gasped:

'Tom! You scared me!'

She slapped my arm.

'Sorry...' I mumbled, smiling, as I approached her.

I kissed her, gripping her waist firmly, then pulled away from her. She wrapped her arms around my neck, raising her head slightly to look at me with a smile.

'What?' I said, surprised by her gentle smirk.

'You're incredibly handsome...' she said, close to my mouth.

I lowered my head, blushing slightly.

'What should I say about you, then?' I teased.

I kissed her tenderly, then:

'You're so perfect, Amy...'

She continued to look into my eyes, pushing my wet locks away from my face. I was still struggling to come to terms with what had happened, and with the night we'd just spent, tender, passionate, sometimes even wild. It was as if our two bodies had been created for symbiosis, and every moment together, every time we made love, made us even closer, and completely inseparable.

'Can I ask you a question?' I asked suddenly.

She nodded.

'How... how was it with... Darren? I mean... in bed ?'

She laughed, practically mocking me.

'Really, Tom? that's your question?'

'I just want to know if... well, was it like that? so... intense ?'

She lowered her head, clearly embarrassed by my question. She took a few seconds, then faced me again.

'If you really want to know, no... it was nothing like that! Darren and I were friends before we started dating. For me, to move on and be intimate with him was... quite unnatural. And... he was, well, very... premature... if you know what I mean...'

She hesitated for a moment, seeing the look of surprise on my face. I wanted to laugh but I finally understood: if only she knew how difficult it was not to be so with her, to hold back, to make the pleasure linger.

'And... you? With Jade?''

'Jade used to plan everything, even that. Not to mention the fact that most of the time, I was drunk, and I wasn't in control of my actions during those times. She hated that. Sometimes I'd even drink on nights when I knew she'd planned it, just to piss her off. It's not very glamorous, I know...'
