Mercy.

I opened my eyes and starred up at the ceiling of my bedroom. A passing vehicle was casting fleeting lights through the room and they reflected in to my eyes like a million poisoned needles.

Oh God,where was I and what have I done?

The question vanished as I became aware of someone pulling on my jeans, and glanced down my legs to fond Joshua standing between. His back was on me and was tugging on my pant legs like a mule pulling a heavy plow.

So much for the sweet disrobing by a lover,I thought,remembering my final comment in the van before the universe mysteriously faded.

"What are you doing?" I mumbled. The movement of my jaw did painful things to my head,and I decided not to do it again.

'Oh." Joshua looked over his shoulder. "You are awake."

I wanted to say something witty,but not badly enough to actually talk. Anyway,Joshua didn't give me time

"Good. You can put you PJs on yourself." He picked up my silk shorts from the dresser and dangled them in front of me. "Think you can manage that?"

Deciding that his sarcastic remark was simply too much,I sprang go a sitting position. My stomach immediately went queasy,but I still managed to snatch the pajamas from his hands hoping for a jaunty flounce,o instead lurched off the bed.

When had the floor states rolling like that? I wondered, as my stomach went into warning spasms.
Abandoning all dignity,I clutched the pajamas to my midsection and dashed for the bathroom.

After wards I took a shower,brushed my teeth and walked back,but I still felt like an imaginary human.

Heaven had failed to answer my prayers that Joshua would fall asleep before I returned. Having turned on a lamp,he was still wide awake,sitting on the chair.

"This will help." He said handling me a pill box. His voice was gentle as he stood up and entered the bathroom.
I fell on the bed and presses my face in a pillow. Fighting back tears, again,Joshua's kindness had killed me. Somehow it contained so much more bite than his sarcasm.

"Here." Joshua tapped my shoulder. He opened the packet and dropped the tablets into my glass of water. I took the glass and drunk it all.

"You sure this will help?," I put the drained glass on his hand.
"Trust me." He took the glass back to the bathroom,and I slipped under the covers while he was gone. I didn't know what he had in mind,but if it had anything to do with talking about the star, or shakers I wasn't up to it. I rolled over and pretended to fall asleep.

I could almost feel Joshua's eyes on me when he came back. But I didn't move. Soon I heard the sounds of his cloths coming off,then a click and the lamp was off. When the bed sank,I supposed he wasn't so mad that he'd sleep on the floor. Maybe it was a good sign

I was kidding myself,of course right? Joshua had been angry enough when Chris had exposes me,and I'd just added to it by making a fool of myself in the club. How would I ever face the co workers again? How would I face him?

Joshua's breathing soon settled down,but he tossed and turned restlessly. Although he lay as far as the narrow bed allowed, he stilled bumped my shoulder occasionally.

Each touch was a slashing knife blade. It had come to this. Stacked together like two lifeless boards,connected by a mutual lies,the inches between us stretching into miles. I blinked back the tears i bad been fighting all night. But this time they escapes and trickled down the side of my face. Sniffling I wiped the tears away.
"Mercy?"
"What?" I squelched a small leap of gladness.

"About what happened today...?"
The bed sagged as he turned over,creating a valley. Caught off guard,I couldn't help but roll. The next thing I knew,I was up against Joshua. My head brushing his chin,my breasts grazing his chest,our thighs pressed together.

I started to lever away,but Joshua crushes me to his chest. His breath sounded labored and I could feel his heart pounding.

"I can't stand this," he groaned.

Not sure exactly what he was talking about,I didn't answer. I stayed very still in his fierce embrace,the sound of rushing blood drumming my ears. He lifted my chin then, and brushes his mouth across my lips.

"Sweet Pepper," he murmured then deepened the kiss.

We couldn't make love! Not now,with things the way the way were! The knowing of that didn't stop me. Breaking apart inside from wanting him so bad,I met his kiss passionately.

"Joshua," I whispered into a brief space between the kisses,"I'm sorry."

"Don't talk about it right now. Not now"
I signed. I didn't want to talk either. I wanted to be touched,kissed and held close instead.

Joshua unbuttoned the top few buttons of my pajama too and skis the silk down my shoulders,stopping just above my elbows. With the remaining buttons Stoll secured,my arms were trapped. I struggled weakly,trying to free them.

Joshua held me still."let me give you pleasure."

He bent his head a s scattered hot kisses down the valley of my breasts,his trailing hair tantalizing my nipples. A streak of quivering need shot like an arrow straight of my center. I arched and moaned and tried to reach for him. My silken trap holding me fast.

"Let me touch you," I whispered. "Please"
"Later." Joshua gave a throaty laugh and moved his mouth down the center of my abdomen. He moved low,lower,lower still until he reaches the band of my pajama bottoms.

Grabbing it with his teeth, he pulled the bottoms with him and continued down my body. I lifted my hips to let the garment slide, wanting Joshua,wanting him to kiss me. Kiss me there.

Oh,there

"Yes,yes please," I whimpered.

A sound caught between a groan and a growl,escaped Joshua's lips. He released my arms and yanked the pajama down. I opened for him.

At the first flicker of the tongue,I felt pleasure so intense that light and color floated before my eyes.
Every nerve,every fiber,every cell in my Body sang in bliss. I buried my hands in his lush,loose hair,and let my mind slip away until I was aware of nothing but my thrusting hips, my burning body,and ecstasy awaiting me.

Immersed in pure sensation, I perceived Joshua's murmur not so much of a sound,but as a vibration that hummed through my skin. Still,the meaning was crystal clear and my heart joined my body in exultation.

"I love you, Mercy. Only you."

I know you want to beat me up 😂😂😂
