sat beside Derek. She watched the shore line meandering by and sipped her coffee, her back to his side, his arm over her shoulders.
“Derek, I have had a fantastic time this weekend and I don’t want you to take this the wrong way.”
“I hear a –but– coming.”
“Well, nothing could have prepared me for last night. I’ve never felt so alive, but I also have to admit, I’m a little worried about myself. You spanked me, had sex every which way from Sunday and tied me to the bed. We did things I’ve not only never done before, but things I’ve never imagined. And I just gave you free rein.”
“So, it isn’t that I did those things but that you let me do it that’s bothering you?”
“Yeah, I guess. In fact, you had me so worked up, it didn’t occur to me not to let you have your way. You made me feel great, there’s no denying it.”
“Is that such a bad thing?”
“Not bad, but it is a little frightening losing control like that.”
“So you’re saying what? You don’t want me to fuck you again?”
“I think we shouldn’t see each other again. It isn’t I don’t want you to fuck me, but that when it’s happening I never want you to stop.” Thia sniffed, losing the battle to hold back tears of emotion. Wiping her eyes she continued, “See, my emotions are out of control. Yet here I am, letting you hold me and not even trying to get control of myself. I haven’t been like this since my mother held me as a child.”
“So let me see if I have this right, you’re telling me you had such a good time, you don’t want to do it again?”
“Oh, I will be dreaming of this weekend for the rest of my life but, I don’t know, I guess you’re too far out of my league. I think we should stop here and not see each other again. This has been great, but for a fantasy weekend. In the real light of my real world, this is too much, too fast.”
He studied her and then shrugged. “I’m sorry you feel that way, but I respect your decision. Thanks for a memorable trip to Monterey, Thia. I wish you all the best.”
“Thanks for understanding.” She turned to watch the traffic on the shore. She knew she’d made the right decision, not to see Derek again. But she feared she had a long life ahead of her in the sex department. Despite Derek’s good wishes, she had the nagging suspicion she’d already had the best.
Chapter 6
Thia sat straight up in bed before slapping the snooze button. After several seconds, her heart slowed and she controlled her breathing. Monday. Yes, it was Monday. Or was it Saturday and she was waking from the wildest dream she’d ever had? She looked at the other side of the bed. The clothes she’d left out Friday night weren’t there, so it couldn’t be Saturday, and the tingly, delicious aches she felt below the waist proved her “dreams” weren’t dreams.
Gripping the sheet, she pulled it over her head. What have I done?
Slowly she lowered the sheet and smiled into the empty room. Ohhhh, wow. What have I done? She’d had the best sex of her life, an adventure that made her feel alive, discovered a mystery with a stranger, and—lest she forget—had the best sex of her life. Sex made every nerve ending tingle, and sensation explode and radiate through her body.
What a weekend!
Getting out of bed, she grimaced when muscles she’d forgotten she had screamed in protest. She did a few extra stretches before climbing on the treadmill. Watching the early news, she started at her normal pace but soon realized she wasn’t up for running. She used those extra minutes in the shower, letting the hot water work out her aching kinks.
By the time she rushed out the door, she felt human again. Alive in a way she hadn’t known in years. Sexy, bold and in control. Life was good.
