Rekindled Love

With that, I conceded, the mind-blowing fantasy-turned-reality sex catching up with me. I nodded and rested back into the couch. She was still shirtless, and I stole a glance at her breasts as she smiled down at me. I watched her ass as she turned and left the room with a grin on my lips as I fell asleep.

I smiled and sat up, yawning yet again. I looked down at my watch, the time reading well past eleven o’clock. She was still smiling at me as I stood, and she wrapped her arms around me. I breathed in a sigh of happiness at the contact and snuggled into her.
