Lying on the cotton sateen sheet, Stefanie waited for him to fall into her arms, half atop her, which he did. Their mouths locked for more deep kissing, and she could hear the patter of his heartbeat. Or was it her own? Either way, the craving within her was insatiable.
This only built in waves as Campbell explored her body blindly with long, nimble fingers, their lips never parting. As he stimulated her taut nipples and private parts, she nearly screamed with pleasure. Instead, she simply lay back and enjoyed it for as long as she could, before her needs went beyond that.
“Make love to me, Campbell,” Stefanie demanded, stopping what he was doing, her own delight notwithstanding.
“Are you sure you’re ready?” he asked selflessly.
“More than ever!” Her voice rang with determination. She went a step further, grabbing the foil packet and ripping it open. Then she took out the condom and put it on his erection, leaving no doubt as to what she wanted from him. Now.
Heeding her call, Campbell took over from there. He propped up on an elbow and calmly positioned himselfbetween her legs. They locked eyes lasciviously as he slid slowly inside her. Stefanie adjusted her body to him and they began to make love. She planted her feet on the bed while urging him to go deeper and deeper.
As he capitulated to her wishes with abandon while fighting back his own urges, Stefanie climaxed, crying out. Her body quavered wildly as she kissed him—breathing in his enticing masculine scent—she’d nearly forgotten how good it felt to react to a man’s intimate attention. She sucked in a deep breath but knew this wasn’t over. Nor did she wish for it to be.
Wanting Campbell to reach his own heights of pleasure, Stefanie cooed to him, “Your turn. Let’s get there together—”
“All right.” Campbell sighed. He flipped her around so that he was on the bottom, and held on to Stefanie’s hips firmly. She moved gradually onto him and picked up the pace as he cupped one of her buttocks and they rocked and rolled their way toward his satisfaction.
When Campbell’s orgasm came, he let out a primordial grunt and his body shook. He turned them back around so Stefanie was beneath him and experienced a second climax as they soared to sexual heights like eagles in human form, in search of something rewarding that they had seized upon in their mutual pleasuring.
Afterward, both spent, they lay side by side, collecting their breaths while coming back down to earth for a safe landing. Stefanie wondered how Campbell felt, physically and mentally, now that it was over. Any regrets?
As if to alleviate any concerns on her part, Campbell laughed and said sincerely, “Wow! You were truly amazing.”
Coloring, Stefanie breathed a sigh of relief. “So were you.”
“Some things in life are worth waiting for. This definitely qualifies.”
She chuckled. “I’d have to agree with you there. It was certainly a good thing to wait for this to happen—and then achieve the desired results.”
“Amen to that.” Campbell laughed, then kissed her shoulder. “Next time, though—now that the sense of urgency was met—I’d like to take it nice and slow so that we prolong the intimacy as long as we can while enjoying the pleasures of sex.”
“Mmm…” Stefanie tingled inside at the notion, that there would be a next time. “You’ll get no argument from me there.”
“Good.” He kissed the top of her head. “I hate arguing, especially where it concerns matters of the heart.”
“Me, too.” She liked hearing him think of sexual relations between them as relating to the rhythm of their hearts.
Stefanie also wanted to see this as the start—or continuation—of something special that had lots of upside for the future. Maybe it was truly their destiny to meet the way they met, to lead to what just happened and could happen beyond. Campbell took her into his arms, and she fell asleep on that sweet thought.

AS HE GOTup the next morning, Campbell could not deny that Stefanie had more than measured up to any fantasies he’d had about going to bed with her. Beyond the hot sex, the chemistry between them in general was undeniable. The fact that the two of them both seemed to be on the same page—now that they had gotten that first night of intimate relations out of their system—in forging ahead,gave him hope that he might finally have found someone that pushed the right buttons in what he wanted from a partner for the long term.
Stefanie had done just that in no time flat. Campbell watched as she was still sound asleep—lying on her stomach beneath the coverlet, her face pressed sideways against the pillow while looking absolutely beautiful—no doubt needing some rest after their sexual escapades had worked their way into a second round that was even more frenetic and all-consuming than the first.
He was still in reverie mode when Stefanie opened her eyes. Yawning attractively, she looked at him and asked, “How long have you been awake?”
Campbell grinned and responded, “Just long enough to be able to appreciate how hot you look sleeping in my bed.”
Stefanie blushed. “You would say that.”
“I only tell it like it is,” he said truthfully, knowing that she was checking him out as well, still in the nude. “I was about to hop into the shower. If you need a little more shut-eye, I can wake you afterwards and make us breakfast.”
“I’m good,” she said, rubbing her eyes. “Why don’t I join you in the shower and then we’ll have breakfast?”
“Okay.” He smiled, picturing them fooling around in the shower while putting the soap bar to good use. This turned him on. As did much about her. Even while in the back of his mind duty still called, as he tried to solve at least one case of a fatal OD under mysterious circumstances. Which may or may not be associated with a similar incident that occurred way before his time.
