I Couldn’t Wait For You
I’m sorry. I know how much you want me at the moment. With my larger breasts and happier mood. With my swollen belly full of our kid to be.
I woke in the middle of the night, hormones raging, wanting you, wanting that release. Strange, I thought, that l only feel like sex in the middle of the night.
I thought of you. Your body, your amorous lips, the way you know how to touch me. How we made love on the last night before you left. I recalled how good that felt. That got me hot.
I thought of the two women making out in the movie I watched last night. They were naked, slick with sweat, kissing, caressing, fucking. That made me ache.
I thought of my favourite actress (you know who she is), resplendent in uniform, tough, sassy, sexy. That reoccurring fantasy I have run through my mind – of her wanting to kiss me, me undressing her, and crossing that chain of command. That made me slick.
I pushed back the covers, exposing my naked body to the air. I was ‘hot and bothered.’ You know how much I like those old school sayings. I wondered how long it was until you would be home. I looked at my phone. Four hours.
But how I felt, a minute was far too long to wait. I gave in, I couldn’t let myself go disappointed could I?
