Trent lay propped up in his bed, his gaze fixed intently on Lauren as she carefully retrieved the minuscule pill from the palm of her hand dressed in nothing but a T-shirt of his. With a delicate movement, she positioned it on her tongue, her expression a mix of determination and hesitation. A moment later, she lifted a glass of water, the clear liquid shimmering in the soft morning light, and took a deep gulp, swallowing the pill whole. The remnants of their night hung in the air, a palpable mix of exhilaration and recklessness, casting an almost surreal glow over the scene.
Engaging in unprotected sex was one thing, but letting your partner climax inside you was typically something reserved for those in committed relationships. It certainly wasn't the norm for whatever casual situation Lauren and Trent found themselves in, but at the moment it felt right.
"Come back to bed," Trent called softly, his voice laced with a mix of warmth and longing. He watched as Lauren turned to face him, her expression shifting from one of contemplation to a playful smile that lit up her features.
"Just a second," she replied, her tone light as she set the glass down on the nightstand.
Trent propped himself up on one elbow, intrigued by her sudden seriousness. "What's on your mind?" he asked, his brow furrowing slightly. He could sense a shift in the atmosphere, a subtle change that made him want to reach out and pull her back into the comfort of their shared intimacy.
Lauren hesitated for a moment, her gaze drifting to the window where the morning winter sun streamed in, casting a warm glow across the room. "I guess I'm just thinking about what happened last night," she admitted, her voice softer now. "It was... intense."
"Intense is one way to put it," Trent replied, a smirk playing on his lips. "But it was also amazing. I didn't expect it to feel that good."
She chuckled lightly, but there was an underlying seriousness in her eyes. "I didn't either. But it's just... this isn't usually how I do things. I mean, we're still getting to know each other."
Trent nodded, understanding her hesitation. "Do you regret it?" he asked with bated breath.
Lauren met his gaze, her expression thoughtful as she weighed her response. "No, I don't regret it," she said finally, her voice steady. "It was amazing, and I felt a connection with you that I didn't expect. But it's just... different for me."
"You're the first person I've ever allowed to do that," she revealed, blushing as she looked anywhere but at Trent.
Trent's heart raced at her admission, a mix of surprise and intrigue washing over him. "Really?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "That means a lot to me."
Lauren finally met his gaze, her cheeks still flushed. "I know it sounds cliché, but it felt right with you. I didn't plan for it to happen, but in the moment, it just did."
Trent smiled, feeling a warmth spread through him as he pulled Lauren on top of him, pushing his face into the crease of her neck.
He inhaled the soft scent of her hair, a mix of shampoo and something uniquely her, grounding him in the moment. "I'm glad it felt right," he murmured against her skin, his voice muffled but filled with sincerity. "I didn't want to overstep any boundaries, but everything about last night felt... natural."
