Chapter 10: The Slow One

He had waited twenty-four hours, and I could see every one of them on his face.

It was Friday at eight.

He stood in my doorway with his hands knotted behind his back, the way I had told him to on Thursday night.

I had sent three texts all day.

Don't touch yourself.

Eat lunch.

Think about me at four. Only at four.

"Come in," I said.

He walked in and stood on the hall rug.

"Did you do it?"

"All of it."

"Did you think about me at four?"

"I thought about you at four, and at five, and at all the times I wasn't supposed to."

"That's allowed."

"Oh, thank God."

I laughed, and took his hand, and drew him down the hall.

I had run a bath, and lit a lamp, and set a clean towel on the chair.

"Tonight is different," I said. "I'm not going to tease you."

"No?"

"I want it slow. I want you to feel everything. And I want you to look at me."

"Yes."

"Undress me."

He stared.

"Me?"

"You may. Slowly. Just this once."

His hands lifted.

He undid my blouse one button at a time.

Slid it off my shoulders.

He kissed the point of my collarbone.

He unhooked my bra and let it fall, and bent to kiss each breast, lightly, and the tenderness of it surprised me.

He knelt and undid my trousers and drew them down my legs, and kissed the inside of each knee.

He stood and looked at me, naked in the lamplight.

"Thank you," he said.

"For what?"

"For letting me."

"Take your own off. Then sit in the middle of the bed."

He stripped and sat cross-legged on the quilt.

I climbed into his lap, facing him, my knees on either side of his hips.

I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He was hard against my belly, and shaking, and I held his face between my hands and kissed him.

It was a slow kiss, deep and wet, and I felt a tremor go through him.

"Keep your hands on my back," I said. "Don't move your hips. I'll do all of it."

"Yes."

"Your only job is to look at me and breathe."

"Yes."

"Say it."

"Look and breathe."

I reached down for a condom from the nightstand, rolled it onto him, and he exhaled in a shudder.

I rose on my knees, and held him, and sank down.

It was slow, and deep, and perfect, and neither of us made a sound.
