Chapter 5

I slept like a baby, the combination of a lovely meal and a wonderful time in bed with Carole had left me feeling completely satisfied. I half woke at some point during the night to find that I had rolled onto my side, Carole was cuddled up behind me her breasts pressed against my back and one hand lying loosely around my waist. I sighed happily and held her hand as I dropped back off to sleep, feeling so warm and cared for. My ex husband had never been very affectionate and I honestly couldn't remember ever having slept in someone's arms like this before. I was awakened eventually by the smell of fresh coffee, I slipped out of bed and followed my nose to find Carole in the kitchen just putting a tray of coffee together. She smiled,

"Morning love, I was going to bring you coffee in bed."

Her casual use of the word love as a term of endearment gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

"Why don't you take the tray through, I'll just go and freshen up and come and join you."

"Ok, I put new toothbrushes and stuff in the bathroom, help yourself to anything you need," she reached out and touched my arm lightly, "don't be long though, I need a kiss and cuddle."

I found my way to the bathroom, like the rest of the flat it was superb, the thick fluffy carpet felt so good to walk on barefoot. There was the biggest bath I had ever seen outside of a magazine with twin shower heads above it and a curtain all the way around. To one side was a bidet and washbasin and the item I needed most urgently. I sat down and sighed with relief. Looking around I still found it hard to believe that I was really here, less than twenty-four hours ago I had been coping with life as a single mother, resigned to continuing in that groove for what felt like forever. Now I was about to clean my teeth and then rejoin my lover in her bed. Just thinking the words 'my lover' sent a little shiver through me, I had been starved of affection for so long I knew that I could easily find myself falling in love with Carole if I wasn't careful. The trouble with that was that I was fed up with being careful, I wanted to be in love and to be loved. Carole had reawakened a side of me that had lain suppressed for too long and I was not going to hide it any more. I brushed my teeth and splashed a little water over my face to wake me up fully then teased my hair into some sort of order before heading back to the bedroom and Carole. She was sitting up in the bed, the covers pulled up to her waist, her beautiful breasts stood out firmly. I paused in the doorway, posing for her, I could almost feel her eyes on me, looking me up and down. She grinned,

"Stop flaunting yourself at me and come back to bed."

I giggled and threw myself onto the bed, crawling up to kiss her. Her soft lips parted as my tongue pressed against them, I tasted the mint of the toothpaste as I licked her teeth.

"Mmmm minty fresh."

Her arms wrapped around me pulling me down beside her. We cuddled together and she passed me a coffee.

"What shall we do today?" she asked.

"I have to collect my son tonight, he and his friend are going to a football match and should be back around six."

"Ooohh does that mean you are all mine until then?"

I thought briefly about my ironing and dismissed the idea,

"Well almost, I ought to be home by five but other than that I'm free all day, but what about your two?"

She laughed,

"Those two, now they are teenagers they wouldn't be seen dead with their mum, if it wasn't for needing their pocket money and meals I wouldn't see them at all at weekends."

I laughed,

"I guess I have all that to look forward to then, although Tom's already quite independent, comes from not having his father around I expect."

"Maybe, what happened with his father if you don't mind me asking."

"I don't mind, he left me for another woman, said he wasn't wasting any more of his life with a useless frigid bitch."

"Sounds like you are well rid of him then."

"Yes, if I didn't need the child support I would have nothing to do with him at all."

Carole's arm slid around my shoulder and she pulled my head down to kiss me,

"And I can definitely tell you, you aren't frigid, not by any stretch of the imagination."

Her eyes danced and she gave me a wicked grin,

"Quite the opposite in fact, last night was lovely."

I smiled and carefully put my cup down on the bedside table.

"Last night," I began.

"Yes?"

"There was something you asked me to do for you."

She looked puzzled for a moment then obviously remembered.

"Yes, but it doesn't matter, you don't have to do anything you aren't happy doing."

"I know but," I hesitated, "I think I'd like to try."

She put her cup down and slid lower in the bed pulling me down beside her. She pulled my head to hers kissing me softly.

"You can do anything you want darling."

I leant over her, kissing her, gently at first then more passionately, her lips were so soft, so inviting. I slipped my tongue between them licking gently across her teeth then probing deeper, searching for her tongue. She sighed gently into my mouth her arms lightly holding me, her hands stroking across my shoulders. I lifted my head slightly, looking down into her eyes I smiled then lowered my lips to hers again. This time I just kissed her lightly then began planting tiny kisses all over her face, her eyes, her cheeks, then down onto her throat. I felt her pulse against my lips briefly then moved slowly down her body. My kisses trailed their way across the upper slopes of her breasts then back and down the valley between them. Carole moaned slightly twisting her shoulders a little, wordlessly telling me she wanted to feel my lips on her nipples. I kissed each nipple in turn, still just light kisses, lips closed as I pressed them against the hardening tips of her breasts. I knew she wanted more and I did too, I took her nipple between my lips, nibbling it gently then running my tongue tip across it, flicking it from side to side. She moaned softly, her hand was on the back of my head now, not pushing or pressing just lightly holding me, her fingers stroking through my hair. I alternated my kissing from one side to the other giving each nipple the same treatment, kissing them, licking them, sucking them. After a while I shifted slightly so I was kneeling beside her, leaning over her, my hair trailed across her breasts, catching slightly on the trails of moisture left by my kisses. Carole's hand was stroking up and down my back now, her fingers tracing little patterns across my skin. My lips left her breasts and my trail of kisses began slowly moving down across her tummy. I felt her shiver as I kissed her navel and quickly ran my tongue in a circle around it then dipped inside. She stifled a giggle,

"That tickles, but it feels good, don't stop."

I smiled to myself, there was no way I was stopping now, last night I had been unsure about this but now I was determined to taste her sweetness direct, not just second hand on my fingers. I licked her navel again then swept my tongue down licking my way to the top of her neat triangle of dark curly hair. I shifted position again kneeling with my knees level with her shoulders, I leant across her placing one hand on the bed beyond her hips and lowered my head between her thighs. Her legs moved apart for me and I saw the lips of her pussy open slightly, the darker pinker flesh of her inner lips looked so inviting. I pressed my lips to her slipping my tongue between the outer lips and for the first time in my life tasted another woman. That first taste was indescribable, a musky sweetness that seemed to trigger an instant response in me. I plunged my tongue down licking and lapping at her, I pressed my head down further between her thighs licking up and down her pussy with long strokes, I could smell her, taste her, feel her against my face, my nose my lips. I moved my head from side to side and up and down, dragging my lips across the soft flesh of her inner lips, my tongue found the harder button of her clitoris and I licked gently across the tip. Carole's hips jerked as if she had been stung and I heard her gasp,

"Just there darling."

I did it again, then again, then began experimenting, licking up and down, then side to side, listening for her responses, trying to judge what felt best for her. I felt her hand on my head again guiding me gently to the side. I began a series of strokes with my tongue, starting just above her clitoris and licking down across it. By the fourth or fifth stroke Carole was moaning and then her hand suddenly tightened in my hair and her hips bucked up. Her thighs tensed locking my head between them as she shuddered and rocked in orgasm. Three, four, five thrusts of her hips and then her thighs relaxed and I lifted my head slightly letting her slowly recover. I spun around and lay beside her again watching her eyes slowly come back into focus. She grinned weakly up at me,
