He tucked a blanket around me and then lifted me in his arms. I sighed. It felt so good to be wrapped in his embrace. I buried my head into his chest and took a deep breath.
He chuckled. “I probably smell like sweat and sex. But then again, so do you.”
“I like the way you smell. You should bottle it up and sell it.” I inhaled again. “Nah, on second thought, I think I’ll keep you all to myself.”
We’d made it into the bedroom. He put me in the middle of the bed and then climbed up to pull my back to his chest. He kissed the back of my neck. “I’m keeping you to myself, too. Forever.”
I let myself drift for a few seconds, easing my way to sleep, when it hit me. “Simon and Lynne.”
His arms tightened around me “They’re fine. I’ve got everything under control. What I need you to do is rest.”
With the reminder I could leave the world in his capable hands, I allowed sleep to overtake me.
I dozed off and on for what seemed like hours, never falling into a deep sleep. Nathaniel stayed beside me while I rested. Every time I roused enough to be aware of my surroundings, I felt his warmth. As the fatigue I normally felt after a scene slowly lifted, I twisted around to face him.
“Awake?” he asked with a kiss.
I yawned. “Almost.”
“Take your time.” His thumb trailed across my bottom lip. “There’s no rush.”
“Simon and Lynne still here?”
“Mmm, either downstairs or outside. I sent him a text letting him know I was staying with you and they could either go for a walk or hang out inside.”
“I hope Lynne’s still calm and the scene didn’t freak her out too much.”
“Simon said she really enjoyed talking with you.”
“She has a good head on her shoulders and is stronger than she looks.”
“I’m glad you got a chance to ease her mind before we did anything; I think it helped a lot.”
“Are you hungry? Lynne and I got most of lunch ready, and all I need to do is put everything out.”
He sat up, bringing me with him. “It’s a little after noon. I’ll go find them while you get dressed. We’ll eat on the sunporch.”
He gave me a quick kiss and then left to find our guests. I stayed in bed for a few minutes, stretching, before heading to the bathroom. My body was filled with delicious aches and pains that would stay with me for days.
Nathaniel had laid out an outfit for me to wear, as well as two pain relievers and a bottle of water. I took the two pills and drank half the water. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror, seeing a woman who’d just been consummately fucked. My hair was tousled, and my lips full. The marks of our play were on my backside, I noted, turning around and looking over my shoulder.
The outfit he laid out was a short skirt, no panties, and a soft cotton T-shirt. Casual, but still subtly sexy. I quickly brushed my hair, washed my face, and got dressed.
Lynne was in the kitchen, pulling sandwiches out of the refrigerator when I made it downstairs. She smiled at me shyly. I simply smiled back, remembering the odd feeling I experienced the first time I interacted with someone after watching them play.
“Did you and Simon go for a walk?” I asked, grabbing the glasses from the cabinet and filling them with ice.
“Just for a bit,” she said. “We dipped our feet in your pool, too.”
“Next time you’ll have to bring your bathing suits.” I watched as she got out the fruit salad. “Is there anything you’d like to talk about or ask without the men around?”
She shook her head. “Simon and I talked after. It was nothing like I thought it’d be and yet exactly what I expected at the same time. I know that doesn’t make sense.”
I laughed. “I think I know what you’re trying to say. Did anything surprise you?”
“I thought it’d be awkward, but it was really like we were watching something on TV. The two of you didn’t even seem to know we were there. I think that made it easier.”
“I can guarantee Master never forgot you were there, but you’re right about me. My entire focus was on him.”
“It was captivating, watching him. How he can be so hard and demanding and yet look at you with such love and devotion.”
He didn’t often have me meet his eyes while we were in the playroom, but I knew what she was talking about based on the few times he had allowed it. It was a look I never got tired of seeing and as I thought about it, an idea popped into my head.
Maybe if I could get him to video our play and we watched it?
