Laughing Medusas

I dreamed I had awoken in your arms. You were still sleeping - so peaceful, so content. I just wanted to touch your face. To close my eyes and memorize how you feel beneath my fingertips. I was going to let you sleep so my hands only wandered down your neck and shoulders, then the length of your arm. I took your hand in mine and brought it to my lips.

I kissed your fingers, on which my scent still lingered from the night before. Memories, as random disconnected images, flooded my mind. I heard your voice whispering poetry softly in my ear and felt my nipples harden from the gentle breeze of your words. I tasted you in the back of my throat and me upon your lips. I felt your hands cupping my breasts and your fingers tracing my tattoo.

As I opened my eyes, desire growing anew, I saw you watching me, holding your hand to my lips and breathing the scent of our sex. I teased your middle finger with my tongue before taking it in my mouth, still locked in your gaze. You took your hand from me to stroke the inside of my thighs, while parting them slightly. Just enough to allow you to enter me and make me gasp.

"Shhh..." was all you said as you began to slowly slide in and out of me. I began to thrust back, wanting to go faster. But you placed your hands on my hips and held me to your slow, steady pace. Your fingers danced lightly across me, maintaining contact just long enough to leave my skin craving your touch. And your hips continued to rise and fall in slow, deliberate movements. We both knew if you would thrust just a bit harder or just a bit faster, it would push me over the edge. I opened my mouth to plead and you placed your finger on my lips.

"Shhh..." your eyes seeing the plea in mine before I could speak.

My body had begun to tremble in anticipation. You kept the same maddening pace, and leaned to kiss me. As your tongue parted my lips, pleasure washed over me. You kept your mouth on mine, swallowing my ecstatic cries. Still you kept the same pace. Until, quivering beneath you, I took your face in my hands, gazed into your eyes and softly moaned your name. Your face contorted and you pulled me close as you finally let your desire overcome you.

I opened my eyes and it was only when I turned to kiss you, that I realized you weren't here and I had only dreamed I had awoken in your arms.
