A Brush With Love *Mature Scenes*

Episode 13 - part 2

Sophie

"That was the best I've ever had!", I exclaimed with a heavenly sigh.
"Thanks"' Ben said smugly.
I giggled, "oh, I meant the pizza!".
"Buuurn", he replied, chuckling.

We both sat naked on his bedroom floor, empty pizza box between us. After we'd had sex the first time, we ordered a pizza, then cuddled naked as we waited for it to arrive. We didn't bother getting dressed. I was in heaven!

The phone buzzed on the bedside table. "You have a message", Ben said.
I got up and quickly dashed to his living room, grabbed my overnight bag, and took it back into Ben's room and said, "Not a message, it's my daily reminder." Ben looked unphased and carried on finishing his slice as I dug around in my bag looking for the small packet of pills. When I found them I popped out the pill for that day and swallowed it with ease.
"What's that for?" Ben questioned with worry in his voice, "Are you sick?"
I giggled, "No, I'm not sick. It's my contraceptive pill." "Oh", he replied, surprise in his voice.
"I didn't want to bring it up after the whole condom stash incident," I continued, "you seemed embarrassed enough."
"So how come you're on the pill?", he asked.
"Well," I started, wondering if this conversation was about to get awkward, "I've been on it for a few years now, from when I was in a relationship before, and I just carried on taking it. When you're taking things with hormones in them it's good to not mess your body around too much by stopping and starting them."
"Makes sense I guess," he shrugged. "And it doesn't hurt to take double precautions."
"True", I agreed, "but you know, the pill is just as reliant on its own too, you don't need to take additional precautions when you're with someone you really care about and want to be committed with." I rubbed at my arms awkwardly, suddenly feeling exposed for the first time whilst naked in front of him.
He smiled at me reassuringly, as if sensing my awkwardness. "I just told you I'm falling for you. I'm committed to us one hundred percent." It was his turn to look awkward as he said, "If you're suggesting what I think you are, you should know, I've never actually had sex without wearing a condom before."

With genuine surprise on my face, "You haven't? Really?"
"Well... no," he said sheepishly. "The one person I might have not used one with wasn't taking any additional precautions so I always had to. And the few others I've been with, well let's just say they weren't my proudest moments, and ones I'm glad to have used a condom with. My dad always stressed the importance of safety to me."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about," I said, proud of him for being responsible. "But", I continued, feeling nervous again, "I just want you to know that if we're serious about each other, then I'm happy to not use them...if you want to that is. If you want to continue to use both, then that's cool with me. Oh, and just for the record, I got tested before moving here, just for peace of mind." Ugh, why did I have to say that, now I feel really feel awkward.

He smiled sweetly, and leaned in to kiss my cheek "I'm very serious about you Sophie, and don't worry, I trust you." He pulled back, "But I don't know, it would feel really weird for me to not use one."
I scoffed a little and said, "Oh believe me, it would feel anything but weird."
He raised that devilish eyebrow and said, "Oh really? Tell me then, what's so great about it?"

"Well, there are pros and cons to both", I began, "Condoms are great for situations where you want a quicky but also there isn't any way to....clean up afterwards", he giggled at my awkwardness. "But sometimes they can spoil the passion a bit. Like, when you're in the moment and perfectly aligned, it can be a little frustrating to stop to have to put one on." I said apathetically, then I let my voice turn sultry as I said, "and if you think it feels good with one on, then imagine it ten times better without. Your body linked with mine, skin on skin, with no barrier, you really feel how wet I am for you and you slide in so damn good. Plus, you can have sex in places like the bath and the shower without one, without worrying about it coming off." I noted his Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed deeply. "You've made me consider it, that's for sure," he said, his voice hoarse, "but I'll have to think about it, okay?"
"Of course", I reassured, "I'll respect whatever you want to do, and feel comfortable with." I reached and put my palm on his cheek, he leant into my touch, then turned his head and kissed my palm.
