A question from Courtney

“Do… do you love her?” Courtney’s voice was a little stronger, but it was still such that Jeremy would have preferred to hear the sounds of a pack of speeded monkeys attacking a blackboard with forks. It was just so incredibly unsettling to him to compare how confident she sounded most times, although she would occasionally address him with a nervousness which had always made him cling to the hope that she loved him as much as he loved her, to how she was sounding as she stood with her body pressed against his.

“No,” Jeremy replied, making sure to add some extra emphasis to his voice as he repeated himself with another “No” a few moments later.

Struck by the fact that it seemed to be now or never, and exhilarated by the fact that Courtney had yet to turn angry at him, Jeremy decided that there was really only one thing more that he could possibly say.

“I don’t,” he began, suddenly feeling both incredibly calm and ridiculously nervous at the same time as he added “I love you.”

There’ he’d said it. It shouldn’t have been under the current circumstances, but now he had said what it had taken him fourteen years to come to terms with.

“You… you do?” Courtney’s voice sounded clearer now, even if it was still audibly affected by her crying and affected by a certain tremor which made the words sound longer.

His heart beating hard enough for him to suspect that it would come bursting out of his chest at any second, Jeremy waited with baited breath for Courtney to respond to his revelation, fearing that it would cause her to become furious with him.

Then, in what was probably the single most fantastic moment in all his life, Jeremy got to see how Courtney smiled at him. It wasn’t the liveliest smile he’d ever seen from her, but it grew steadily wider and richer as her previously red eyes suddenly seemed to glow and glisten in a way which he had never before seen.

“You do?” Courtney asked again, now starting to sound like herself again.

“Yeah…”

“Say it again.” Courtney demanded.

“Uh… I love you.” Jeremy hadn’t planned the “Uh…” bit. But by now, the knowledge that Courtney was naked as he held her in his arms had begun to sink in, and it was having a very palpable effect on him.

“You big, stupid…” Happiness shone from Courtney’s face and she sounded almost like she was singing before she stopped talking and placed her hands on his head. Jeremy was much too shocked to do anything about it when she pulled his head down far enough for her to kiss him.

Jeremy’s fingers went stiff and a low moan escaped from his mouth as he felt Courtney’s tongue press its way in between his lips, and then it finally dawned on him that it might be a good idea for him to kiss her back, so he began to mimic the movement of her tongue with his own while his hands began to fondle and caress her wet back, his cock suddenly fully erect and yearning quite violently to be freed as years of sexual frustration resulted in one of his hands coming down to cup her ass.

It was now Courtney’s turn to moan into her love’s mouth as his strong hand began to work the muscles of one of her full, firm buttocks, and she was influenced by her feelings for him into pressing her sex against the bulge at the front of his blue cargo shorts.

“Wow,” Jeremy again felt as though he was much less eloquent that he would have liked to have been, “that was…”

“Uh-huh…” Courtney gently nodded her head and smiled at him.

“Maybe, maybe we should get you into some clothes?” Jeremy suggested, desperately wanting to ensure that he wasn’t taking advantage of her.

Jeremy’s suggestion caused Courtney to bite her lip and feel her cheeks warm up.
So far into a day which for her only began an hour or so ago, she had gone from being very happy to being absolutely devastated to thinking that this was the happiest day of her life, and she had been meaning to suggest to Jeremy that maybe he should get out of his wet t-shirt when he had decided to be a gentleman.

It was awfully sweet of him to try and make sure that she wouldn’t do anything that she would regret later, and that side of him was one of the many reasons why she loved him so much, but she was quite certain of the fact that of the two of them, she was the one most suitably attired for what she wanted them to do.
