PLAYTIME

Lying together in bed

Entwined and exhausted after a playful romp

That damn near broke the bed frame

I start to drift off to sleep

I close my eyes

But hold off sleep so I can savor the feelign a while longer.

You hear the phone ring

You grumble and get up to answer, naked as the day you were born

You toss the bedsheet over me so I don't get cold

But draw it back slightly

When it falls over my head

You kiss my hair

Then go get rid of the idiot

And while you're at it, unplug the phone.

You come back, jump into bed

I'd turned over in the opposite direction, so you spoon me

Your arm snakes aroudn my middle

And you pull me up against you

I feel the hair on your chest like silk caressing my back

I wiggle my bare bottom just a bit just to get comfortable

(And to feel your reaction, little tease that I am)

Sure enough

I feel a jerk and a start, and a sharp intake of breath.

Now sleep is starting to claim me

Now's a good time as any to drift off

I yawn and stretch, content for now

You take advantage of my vulnerable position this time

And caress my small breasts you say

Are more than woman enough for you

That, you damn well know, gets my attention

You go on caressing me, then tickling me

Because you know how that gets me off

Grab my sides and catch your hands

I dissolve into peals of laughter

That gets me turned in your direction again

The way you like it

Lips touch in a mutual fire

Laughter dissolves into sighs of pleasure

You take me in your bare arms and body again

Rolling over and over as one

The magic begins anew
