An American Braviour's Fantasy

Part 15 : Paradiso ~ Goedemorgen!

As the sun crept up over the horizon and peaked across the city skyline, a small sliver of light between the curtains covering the window began to grow brighter. Birds began to chirp and people were beginning their day. It was Saturday and the world was waking up all around them as they slept. Sam was the first to awaken. He blinked his eyes and the first thing he saw was a pillow full of curls. Some time in the night, Rashelle must have rolled over because her back was now facing him. Her bare shoulder was poking out from the covers and he could not resist. Sam put a hand on her shoulder and traced a fingertip down the side of her upper arm, stroking her little patch of freckles as gently as he could, as if they could be rubbed off if he wasn't careful enough. He slowly lifted himself up off of the mattress and slinked closer to her, propping himself up on his elbow, he gently smoothed a lock of hair from her cheek so he had a full view of her face. She was stunning. Completely serene, surrounded by the muffled sounds of morning.

Sam wondered what they could be, if they got the chance. He wondered what the week would bring. He wondered how he was going to make it through the morning without attacking her! The trick to satiating his desire for her was contact, he was figuring out. As long as he was touching her, somewhere, he could hold his lust at bay. Mind over matter, and not having sex yet mattered - for all of their sakes!

Rashelle stirred and he took the opportunity to squeeze in even tighter up against her, nuzzling his forehead against the back of her head, breathing in the scent of her hair, and wrapped one arm around her waist, sliding his fingers along her back first, then across her belly until his hand rest against her ribcage just below her breast. When Rashelle stirred again, in her sleep she grabbed his hand and clutched it to her, pressing her lips against his knuckles and drifting off again. Sam just squeezed his eyes shut, savouring the moment for as long as it lasted, and it lasted a while.

Sam must have dozed off because when Rashelle awoke, she could hear his soft and easy breathing in her ear and could feel his steady heartbeat gently thumping against her back. Rashelle just squeezed her eyes shut, savoring the moment for as long as it lasted, but it didn't last long. She found his hand wrapped up in hers and she couldn't help but raise it to her lips and tenderly plant kisses across the bridge of his knuckles. Sam breathed in deeply and cracked open his eyes, forgetting for a moment where he was, but the scent of her in his arms brought him back to the present in an instant. He realized that she was awake so he was less stealthy this time as he curled himself around her and squeezed.

"Goedemorgen." He said while nuzzling his nose into the nape of her neck, burying his face in the curls of her ponytail, and it was like sniffing a bouquet of flowers. He wondered what kind of shampoo she used because it smelled amazing! Almost fruity but flowery sweet mixed up with vanilla and of course her own personal aroma which he had no words to describe other than lekker!

"Morning." Rashelle said before completely surrendering to the embrace and she was unsure how much time had actually passed before the alarm on her phone began to buzz and twitter. Sam grudgingly broke the contact to reach around behind him to snatch the phone from its dock and handed it to her. She rolled over onto her back and took it from him, switching off the alarm and returning them to their quiet serenity.

Rashelle sat the phone on the end table on her side and then lay back on her back, reached up her arms above her head and stuck out her legs before stretching herself as far as she could in either direction and finally relaxed back against the mattress. Rashelle glanced over at Sam and their eyes met for the first time this morning. He was propping up his head on his hand, resting on his elbow, hovering above her. He reached out and ran a hand across her belly which made her flinch but instead of super soft female middle, he felt something else - muscles? He made a funny face and then pulled down the edge of the sheets and pulled up the hem of her tank top to get a better view of her abdomen.
