October Afternoon

If you’d crept up the stairs on a recent chill October afternoon then peeked into the door at the top of the stairs, you would have observed the following:

One bedroom, extremely messy; an Esse forgotten on the floor; a bottle of lube tipped on its side; and clothes strung along both sides of a bed.  In the bed you would have detected a fluffy chocolate down comforter pulled up over a pair of lovers lying still in the dim autumn sunlight.

You might have thought the lack of movement odd.  A year ago I’d also have thought it strange, but now indulging in a brief nap between rounds of fervent fucking seems the most lovely thing possible, especially on a cold afternoon turning dark too soon due to impending rain.

We’d both had long weeks by the time we came together at midday: family obligations, travel and the first colds of the season left us wrung out.  “I need a nap,” M murmured after coming for the third or fourth time, so we found the pillows I’d earlier flung out of my way and snuggled into a spot not too dampened by gushing.  He used my breast as a pillow, I rested my cheek against the top of his head, and within moments we were off to sleep.

Except that I didn’t fall fully to sleep.  I dozed only lightly and only for a moment before a cat wedged himself between our bodies.  M’s breathing was soft and regular, and I alternated between stroking his arm and the cat’s head for twenty minutes of undisturbed, perfect rest.

Finally the cat stirred and stretched, waking my lover.  After a moment of silence:  “This wasn’t exactly what you had in mind, was it?”

“No,” I answered, “but it’s perfect.”

This wasn’t what he had in mind either when he met me eons ago, wielding a red dildo and offering to fuck his ass even before exchanging names.  It’s not what either of us expected, but it works.

I love how it works.
