SHE SHIVERED FOR A LONG TIME afterwards, cradled against his nude body under the single white sheet that covered them. He smoked a cigarette, with an ashtray propped on his chest, and looked worried.

Her hand pressed flat over his breastbone, testing the hard muscle there. “What’s wrong?”

“You bled a little.”

She nestled closer. “Yes. But it didn’t hurt.”

“Still, it may be unhealthy for the baby,” he said quietly. “I was rough with you, at the last. I didn’t mean to be, but my body was too hungry to listen to reason.”

She recalled the fierce, rough buffeting of it with pleasure, seeing again his body arched over her, his face clenched and wet with sweat as he cried out and convulsed. The sight of him brought her own pleasure to a peak, and while it was less violent, it was just as satisfying.

He smoothed over her hair. “I like it when you watch me,” he said gruffly, and his fingers contracted. “It makes the pleasure almost beyond bearing to feel your eyes.”

She pressed her eyes into his throat, because she couldn’t look at his face. “I like…to watch you,” she confessed in a whisper. “It is very intimate.”

“We are married,” he reminded her.

“Yes, but I have learned things about myself that make me a little ashamed. I whisper things to you that make me blush afterwards.”

“And you think that it’s unnatural, between lovers?” He sounded amused.

“You’re the only lover I have ever had,” she reminded him.

He put out his cigarette and set the ashtray on the floor before he rolled over and pried her red face out of hiding. “You are the only lover I want,” he returned, studying her face. Her hair was loose and splayed across the white pillow, its chestnut richness barely visible in the darkened cabin when the lights of a city flashed past and highlighted it momentarily.

His leg eased between hers and he moved her, gently, so that they were lying side by side, perfectly fitted to each other. He put his finger over her lips when she started to speak.

“Slide your leg over mine, so that I can get closer,” he whispered.

She obeyed him, loving the roughness of his long leg against hers. He made no move toward greater intimacy, and seconds later, her head was pillowed on his shoulder, with the cover over both of them.

“Cal, we cannot sleep without our nightclothes on!” she exclaimed. “We are naked!”

“Yes. How glorious it feels, Nora,” he whispered, running his hands along her silky back. “How exquisite your skin is to touch.”

“But someone might come in,” she worried.

“I have locked the door, and the blinds are drawn. Sweetheart, there’s nothing to worry about, I promise you. Now, go to sleep. It’s been a long and trying day, and you’re tired. So am I.”

She gave up arguing and closed her eyes. It was sweet, she had to admit. So sweet…
