Turning restlessly for the twentieth time, her mind

still picking like a carrion crow at the scraps of the

day, her hand came to rest upon her hip where another

hand had been lying in wait for precisely such a mo-

ment. She realised then that she had slept and that

the dream had returned to share in her loneliness, that

she had no idea how long it had been with her, and

that, if she asked no questions of it, there would be

nothing to explain after its departure. In some distant

brightly lit time, a part of her sang with joy before

the darkness enfolded her, drawing her senses towards

the hand on its slow and languorous journey over

smooth hip and satin breast.

The body that had been curbed and controlled for

so long came instantly alive, quivering with yearn-

ings, aching with emptiness and the demands of grief.

He was there, vital and eager, pressing against her

and pulling her under him, and she was ready and

willing to be possessed and drowned in his loving, to

take in all of him in a frenzy of release that blinded

all objections with its suddenness. The restraints of

the day fell apart, and she clung to him for support.

As if it had anticipated her reaction and prepared

for it, the dream was a match for her in every sense.

His mouth, locked on hers, drew forth her cries of

desire and followed the path of her lips as they for-

aged for his breath, for the attention that would banish

the turmoil in her mind. She set the pace, and he

responded by taking control, slipping a thick arm be-

neath her back to swing her off the pillows, lifting

her beautiful breasts towards his waiting mouth. Like

a greedy infant, he tugged at her nipples with his lips

and tongue.

One ecstatic cry signalled her urgency, and there

was no more delay before her legs parted and he was

between them, entering her easily as if he had been

doing so nightly for years, yet with the heartstopping

excitement of a first time. Her cry took on another

meaning as her hand caught at his wrist where he

guided himself into her, too late to stop the entry but

firm enough to convey her apprehension. This was the

first time for her in over three years, the dream must

realise. Was it something one could forget how to do?

He waited, allowing himself to be held back. ‘It’s

all right,’ he whispered, breaking the rule of silence.

‘I know...I know. It’s all right.’ His wrist brought her

hand away as he eased himself further inside, slowly

dilating her and sending a shudder of bliss through

the perfect body that must now relearn how to give

and receive. Again, he waited, seeking her lips with

his to complete a circuit of sensations that linked

mind and body, cleverly, masterly, magically. His

kiss held and softened her, steadying her lungs, and

he began to move gently, rhythmically, reminding her

of the tender beat of a man’s loins and the breathtak-

ing rippling invasion that brought new life throbbing

into her emptiness.

She tried to remember and to compare, to assure

herself that this was how it had been before, yet each

slow and powerful thrust
