Morning thoughts

When he awakens, Kael finds himself laying on his back, with Evie on his chest. The elven woman is still asleep, and still nude. Her nightgown lies discarded somewhere on the floor, forgotten in last night’s activity. Kael smiles, recalling their mutual confession of love, and hopes that the light of day doesn’t change her mind.

It certainly hasn’t changed his.

He softly rubs the bare skin of her back, watching her as she sleeps with her head resting on his chest. It’s incredible to him how quickly his feelings for her have grown. Kael has dated before, but never has he felt so strongly about a person, and certainly never so fast. It feels like Evie was meant for him.

Of course, it’s easy to feel like that towards the woman who is lying naked atop his chest. Kael chuckles to himself at the thought, but he also knows it’s a deeper feeling than just lust. That said, there’s definitely lust there as well. Evie is beautiful, and naked, and what they did last night was far from chaste, not that Kael is particularly concerned about that.

Still, he doesn’t want to push her too far or too fast. He reminds himself that this is her first…everything. Kael wants to be sure she’s comfortable with whatever he does.

As he’s having these thoughts, Evie stirs. She yawns, her eyes fluttering open. She looks confused for just a moment before realizing where she is. She immediately blushes, only adding to her attractiveness. Kael smiles, and kisses her.

“Good morning, Evie.”

Still blushing, Evie smiles. “Good morning mast…I mean, good morning, Kael.”

Kael chuckles. “As I said, either one is fine. Did you sleep well?”

She rests her head on his chest. “Better than I ever have before. Thank you so much for…everything.”

Kael rubs her back again. “Believe me, it was my pleasure.”

Evie blushes even more. “Maybe tonight we can…do something else?”

He smiles. “If you’d like. I don’t want to pressure you.”

Evie plants a kiss on his chest. “I want to. I want to make you feel good too. Because…I love you.”

There’s a note of worry in her voice, as if she expects his answer to change. Kael gives her a squeeze. “I love you too. I said it, and I meant it.”

Evie sighs, relieved and happy. “I don’t want to get up. I want you to hold me forever. I’m safe and warm and happy.”

Kael chuckles. “I wouldn’t mind that. But you know I have things to do.”

Evie pouts cutely. “I know. I’ll make breakfast.”

She turns her head to kiss him, and they share that kiss for a while. Finally, they separate, and Evie reluctantly slides out of bed. Kael can’t help but watch her as she bends to pick up her nightgown. Though she isn’t as curvy as past lovers, Kael gets an unexpected rush from seeing her so casually naked. Evie is slim, and fairly short, but despite that, she is emphatically feminine, with enough curves to draw his eyes over her body.

Evie seems to feel his eyes on her, and blushes even more. She meets his gaze, biting her lip momentarily, before smiling. “I-I guess I should get used to this…”

Kael smiles. “Sorry, didn’t mean to stare.”

Evie shakes her head. “No, it’s okay. I’m just not used to it, is all. Do you…do you like looking?”

Kael nods. “You’re gorgeous, Evie.”

Evie smiles, still blushing. After a moment she finally slips on her nightgown, and speaks softly.

“Thank you.”

She makes her way out of the room in a rush, her face still bright red. Kael watches her go, then sits up with a sigh. It was pleasant, but as he said, he has things to do.
