It was early when I woke this morning and Julia was nowhere in the room. I lay their curiously listening to see where she was but…
Then, a few minutes later I felt fingers moving through my hair and heard slow relaxed breathing in my ear. “Miss me Babe?” Julia asked.
“Yeah?” I said very slowly. “What happened to you?”
She kissed my cheek and said gently, “I found myself wide awake at 3:30 AM and just couldn’t fall back asleep. So… Rather than wake you up I figured I’d go in my study and deal with some paperwork and general business related housekeeping.”
“You could have woken me up,” I said quietly. “I wouldn’t have minded.”
She whispered, “I know. And… I do appreciate that. But… You were resting so peacefully…”
She then kissed me deeply for a long moment. Then she simply looked at me for a while, or at least I think that’s what happened.
I must have fallen asleep again because the next thing I knew she was laying astride me and moving slowly above me. I was inside her and could feel her pleasure at my return to reality. “Welcome back my love,” she said in a breathless tone.
When we got out of bed a little while later, she had the coffee ready and actually seemed like she was well rested. “Did you sleep at all?” I asked her softly.
“No,” she said. “I was laying there matching time with your breathing and my naughty side kind of took over. Then my hand slipped under the covers for a peak at the state of affairs below your waistline and… Well… I found what I was hoping to and proceeded from there.”
“I’m glad you did,” I said. “Thank you.”
She leaned over on the love seat next to me and kissed me lightly before saying, “Thank you. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to get away with it if you didn’t trust me to take charge like that. And… You sleeping on your back so much really tells me that you are feeling safe with me in general. You have no idea how happy that makes me feel inside.”
After showering together, we got the show on the road and started getting down to our respective business matters of the day. And… being that for me, it’s the beginning of the month, I was pleased to see the deposits rolling into my PayPal account to the tune of about seven grand by the end of the day.
That number keeps getting larger every month. But the work associated with it keeps getting to be more like child’s play. I’d meditate on why that is but, “What’s the fun in that?”
