Ram woke before dawn filled with an intense feeling of well-being, and slowly became aware of the naked woman sleeping beside him. His wife. Her back was to him, her breasts and belly pressed to the bed, one long leg straight beneath her, the other bent. One hand rested on the pillow next to her face. Her tangled hair lay like a coverlet over her back and shoulders. He had an urge to put his hands on her lovely round derrière but resisted. He wanted to watch her breathe for a few more minutes. They would have to rise soon to prepare for their journey, and he had already hardened at the sight of her.
His first glimpse of Mabelle had ignited a fire within him, and yet the intensity of their passionate joining was overwhelming. He was usually a man of few words when he bedded a woman but recalled sharing intimacies with Mabelle he had never uttered before. What he had experienced with her was more than a bedding. She had claimed him, possessed him, just as much as he had possessed her. It elated him he was the first man to penetrate her. He had never made love to a virgin. Why had he been sure she was not a maid? Would she ever forgive his cruel words?
It had seemed natural to cleanse her, something he had never been motivated to do for a woman before. As he looked at her now in the early light of dawn, sleeping peacefully, he tried to imagine what life must have been like for her before they met. It felt good to have her here, beside him, in the chamber he loved but had never shared with anyone. “I swear to you, Mabelle,” he whispered, “you’ll never want for a safe place to sleep ever again.”
He reached to fondle her hair when she stirred. She turned lazily and stretched. His need intensified and he gathered her into his arms, feathering kisses along her neck.
She blinked, seemingly disoriented for a few moments. Then she smiled. “Do we have time to do it again?” she asked.
His manhood reacted predictably to her sultry innocence. “We have time.”
