Dana

Dana's hips responded like a young colt's driving 
herself into my mouth again and again as I tried to 
keep her still so I could concentrate on giving 
pleasure. (MF, rom)

***

Shopping for her that Christmas had become quite a 
problem. She was my best friend, and in a perfect 
world, we'd be dating. But as anyone can tell you with 
a quick look around... this world ain't perfect. I 
lusted after Dana with the lust only the truly 
infatuated and completely unsatisfied can. If I were to 
open my personal mental dictionary and look up the word 
'perfection', Dana's smiling face would be staring 
right back at me.

And, if you listened to her personal definition of 
'perfect man,' I fit the bill completely... except for 
one crucial detail. She wanted someone "Funny, warm, 
sensitive, caring, not afraid to show his emotions..." 
And then, always, she would add, to my chagrin, "...oh, 
and sexually attractive."

Well, if you haven't guessed by <now> in which category 
I'm deficient in, let's just say that I <am> funny, 
warm, sensitive, caring and not afraid to show his 
emotions. GET THE PICTURE? What I did have was an 
absolutely undying love for this woman, a love that was 
fueled by lots of late-night and early-morning 
fantasies. She once asked me if I fantasized about 
'us,' and if so, what were my fantasies?

I told her quite honestly that I <did> have sexual 
fantasies about her, but in the overall scheme of 
things, that was only about one-tenth of the total 
fantasy/sex content ratio. The rest of the time, it was 
about dumb, romantic things like walking down the beach 
hand in hand, having dinner in some classy restaurant 
together, doing the dishes together, having people over 
to 'our' apartment... dumb, adolescent stuff like that, 
stuff I craved with every fiber and nerve ending of my 
being. And I knew with the deepest, most moral and 
emotional certainty that if we ever <did> get together, 
she would be popping her head against a brick wall for 
taking so damn long.

I'm one of those guys who's always on the outside 
looking in; a little smarter than the rest of the 
people around me, a little funnier, a little more 
'hip', in a weird, Nick-at-night kind of way. When it 
came to answering the questions on Jeopardy! I had no 
equal. When it came to playing Trivial Pursuit, 
everyone wanted to be on my team. 

When a female friend bought a new VCR and had no idea 
how to program it or get cable channels, they always, 
invariably called me. Manual? Who needed a manual? I'd 
scoot down in front of it, pushing my glasses back up 
my nose as I instantly decoded what the problem was and 
fixed it. If it was electronic and had some way of 
interfacing with the world, I could figure it out.

It was the flesh and blood computers, the one with the 
two large disk drives in front and the core memory 
underneath that I could never reverse-engineer and 
decode. They spoke in a language as foreign to me as 
binary is to most people. I swear to God, if I heard 
the "Let's Just Be Friends," speech one more time, I 
was going to kill something.

But Dana was different. She knew on some private mental 
plane that I was hopelessly in love with her, but 
didn't make me feel bad about it, didn't ridicule me 
about it. She rejected my affections without making me 
feel bad, and in my own private hell, that earned her 
high marks. So we remained friends, good friends, the 
kind of friend that will call you last thing at night 
and first thing in the morning...just to talk. Just to 
hear the sound of each other's voice, the sound of each 
other's laughter coming over the line. We had private 
jokes, inside little comments that we threw back and 
forth like a personal, private code that only we could 
understand.

If it were possible to have a love affair without the 
sex, Dana and I did. We were closer than most 
boyfriends and girlfriends, and we reveled in it.

But, as with all things of this nature, there were 
invisible lines drawn, unspoken but understood limits 
that we could never cross. Or, actually, that <I> could 
never cross. You see, it was somehow OK for her to call 
me and tell me about her latest boyfriend and what a 
stud he was between the sheets, and how he treated her 
like a queen. But it was <not> ok for me to talk about 
the women in my life (what few there were...) because 
that hurt her feelings. 

I know, this sounds incredibly masochistic, but those 
were the rules, and I stood by them and tried to quell 
the little flutter in my heart and the twisting knot of 
agonizing pain in my gut I felt every time Dana started 
dating someone new. That's not even mentioning the 
times I'd call her first thing in the morning and some 
man's voice would answer. Those times absolutely 
fucking sucked.

Or the times she would regale with me tales of her 
sexual activity. Like the time she and one boyfriend 
flooded out the bathroom because of some bathtub 
gymnastics. Or the weekend she spent in front of a 
fireplace with another guy, twisting their bodies into 
impossible positions for hours on end.

I know.

Love's a bitch.

So here I was, Christmas shopping for the most 
important woman in my life, and there were still rules 
I had to follow: Nothing too personal. Nothing even 
vaguely sexual. Safe things, like sweaters and books 
and videos. Possibly a CD or two. But nothing personal, 
private...nothing that she could cherish and treasure 
for the rest of her life as having come from my hands 
and heart.

Oh, sure, I'd broken the rule once or twice. Like the 
time I sent her a vibrator as a joke. She told me that 
there was a dearth of male action twixt her sheets, and 
I helped her out with this glow-in-the-dark, plug-into-
the-wall latex vibrator that was huge. She loved it, 
and we nicknamed it "Glow Worm."

I'd given her a priceless Japanese porcelain mask to 
hang on her bedroom wall. It'd cost me almost six 
hundred dollars. It was a birthday present. You know 
what she gave me that year?

A keychain.

In the shape of a guitar.

I don't even <play> guitar!

So, anyway, being the miserable, self-abusing asshole 
that I am, I was shopping for Christmas and trying to 
figure out what to get her. The mall had shown me 
everything it had, and I had one of two reactions to 
every possible gift:

Reaction #1:  Not personal enough.

Reaction #2:  Too personal.

I hate Christmas. What did I have to look forward to? 
My parents were long since dead; my sister had her own 
thing going with a husband and two kids and her 
husband's entire family. She'd made it more than clear 
that as long as I sent her a check every month, she'd 
be happy if I stayed away. My brother was off in some 
far-away country with the Navy SEALs, and so was not 
going to be celebrating Christmas this year, unless it 
was to stick a Bowie knife in his mouth, sneak up and 
slit the throat of some unsuspecting guard somewhere. 
Dana was spending it with her new boyfriend, Ralph.

He was ten years younger and looked like a male model, 
and if you could believe Dana, had this thing between 
his legs that would make Mr. Ed hung his head in shame. 
So much for <my> Christmas Eve.

Anyway, I was passing through the lingerie department 
when something inside me snapped. I wasn't going to be 
sorry for my feelings anymore. I was going to give this 
fucking woman a real gift, a gift from the heart. 
Something classy and sexy at the same time, something 
beautiful and precious and wonderful, just like the way 
I saw her.

I spoke to a salesclerk and explained what I was 
looking for. She smiled at me and asked Dana's size. I 
had all that information in my address book, under "D." 
I read off all of Dana's measurements, obtained by 
going through her closet when she was in the bathroom. 
(It always amazed Dana that I managed to get everything 
right without asking....hehe...)

She brought it out and wrapped it in front of me. It 
was a teddy, emerald green with black lace trimming. 
I'd seen it on a mannequin, and knew immediately that 
Dana's long curly blonde hair and sea-foam blue-green 
eyes would do that outfit <justice>. A little part of 
me was sad that I'd never get to see her in it. A 
couple of years ago I was planning to get her another 
present along those lines, and she somehow found out 
about it and was kidding me on the phone.

"Hey," I'd said, "I won't buy you <anything> I don't 
get to see you in." And that had been the end of it; 
she hadn't had a response to <that> statement.

But this time it was different. I asked the salesclerk 
for a small card, like the one you send with flowers. I 
thought for a moment, and then remembered a little 
ditty from Willy Shakespeare:

"To me, fair friend, you never can be old, for as you 
were when first your eye I eyed, such seems your beauty 
still."

I wrote it on the card and taped it to the outside of 
the box. It was three days to Christmas, and I planned 
to drop it off at her apartment that night. But I got 
paged by work, and had to go in and rewrite some system 
utilities, and that turned into a forty-hour 
programming marathon. It was Christmas Eve, about noon, 
when I finally emerged from my office and told me 
secretary that I was calling it a night.

I walked in the door to a ringing telephone.

"Hello?"

"Rick!" The voice was Dana, and she was crying.

"What's the matter, honey?"

"That bastard Ralph! He broke up with me today!" She 
started crying again, long wracking sobs that tugged at 
my heart and made me wish evil things to happen to 
Ralph. Things involving anthills and honey.

"I'll be right over," I said, and hung up. The drive to 
Dana's apartment took six minutes. I walked in, as I 
always did when I knew she was alone, and found her on 
the couch, feet curled under her, crying into her 
hands. I went to her, sat on the couch, and gathered 
her shaking form into my arms, doing my wonderful best 
friend/Dutch uncle/good buddy routine.

She felt wonderful in my arms, like she belonged there. 
I was just over six feet, and Dana stood five-nine. 
Five-eleven in heels, so when we danced on those rare 
occasions, her head fit wonderfully on my shoulder. I 
chased those thoughts out of my head as I stroked her 
back.

"What happened?" I asked softly.

"He c-c-called me, and t-t-t-told me that he d-d-d-
didn't w-w-want to s-s-s-see me anym-m-m-more," she 
sobbed. "He s-s-said that he m-m-met someone else!" She 
dissolved into another round of crying, and I let her 
get it out of her system. We had this routine down pat. 
Dana would cry, I would hold her, I would tell her what 
a bastard he was and that he didn't know what he was 
giving up (and thus saying without saying that <I> knew 
what he was giving up and was ready, <anytime>, to take 
up the slack...but that's part of the dynamics of the 
relationship...)

So we went through the script. Neither of us flubbed a 
line. Finally, all cried out, she asked, "What are your 
plans tonight?"

"I don't have any," I said.

"Oh good. I'd hate to be alone." It sort of annoyed me 
that she automatically assumed that I'd spend the night 
with her, but there wasn't much I could do about it 
now. So, we made dinner, ate it, did the dishes (just 
like in my fantasy,) and sat down to watch "It's a 
Wonderful Life" on TBS. She loves that movie, and as 
usual, was in tears by the end. I must admit, I was 
also a little damp around the edges, and she knew it. I 
didn't care if she did or not.

We sat in silence, with her head on my chest as the 
credits rolled, and then the screen went to commercial.

We started talking about Jimmy Stuart, and what a great 
actor he was, always playing sweet, warm, sensitive 
men.

"Now why can't I meet someone like that?" Dana 
complained. "Someone kind and sweet and warm and funny 
and sensitive?" I'd heard this perhaps a thousand times 
before, and each time had kept silent. My arm was 
around her shoulder, and my hand reflexively closed, 
gripping her tightly, so great was my sudden anger.

Keeping my voice even so as not to let on, I finally 
said what I'd been waiting to say for as long as I can 
remember. "Yeah, it must be pretty tough to find 
someone like that. I mean, someone so funny that you 
can just call them on the phone whenever you're sad and 
he'll cheer you up. Someone so warm that whenever 
something happens to him, either good or bad, the first 
thing he wants to do is call you and share it with you. 

"It's so hard to find someone sensitive, someone who 
cries at the end of "Wonderful Life." Someone so sweet 
that they write poetry to you for your birthday." I had 
done all of those things, and I knew she knew it. 
Sarcastically, I added, "Yeah... must be <real> tough 
finding someone like that."

She didn't say a word. I dropped my hand from her 
shoulder and walked into the kitchen to get another 
beer. I was disgusted with myself for finally saying 
it...at ten to midnight on Christmas Eve.

"Oh!" Dana said, sitting up. "Your present! I almost 
forgot!" She ran into her bedroom and returned with a 
box. It had polka-dotted wrapping paper and looked like 
a huge dice. (die?) I took it and opened it carefully, 
smiling at her.

I pulled out a coffee mug. It said "Bestest Best 
Friend" on it. I exclaimed that it was <just> what I 
needed, and that I loved her for the sentiment. I 
kissed her on the cheek and she smiled at me with shiny 
eyes. I told her I'd be right back, and retrieved my 
present from my car.

Suddenly, I was scared. She was going to freak. I knew 
it.

I handed her the box and watched carefully as she 
opened it, ready with an excuse or an explanation as 
soon as she saw it and went ballistic.

Amazingly enough, that didn't happen. She read the card 
and smiled at me. (I'm sure that I'd have to explain it 
to her later... she was never a Shakespeare fan...) 
Then she folded back the tissue paper and saw what it 
was. Squealing, she lifted it by the straps and held it 
in front of her.

"It's gorgeous," she breathed. "And my favorite color!" 
(Actually, her favorite color is <forest> green, not 
emerald green, but I wasn't going to correct her at 
<this> point.) She suddenly leaned over and kissed me 
straight on the lips.

Let me make something clear at this point. The entirety 
of our physical contact over the past six years had 
been two wonderful hugs, some slow dancing at a mutual 
friend's wedding, several kisses on cheeks here and 
there...and this kiss.

It was over in an instant, but it was an instant that 
would be burned into my mind forever.

She jumped up and ran into her bedroom, slamming the 
door behind her. I knew that she was trying it on, and 
I wondered if she remembered what I'd said about giving 
her sexy clothing. I turned my attention to the TV and 
tried hard not to imagine Dana stripping her clothes 
off to try this new present on. I flipped around and 
found some choir singing "Joy To The World" on cable 
and watched the sopranos reaching for those high notes. 

My mind began to drift and fantasize, and in my dream I 
imagined us married, on Christmas morning, watching our 
children opening presents and giggling, me standing 
behind Dana, my arms around her waist, the both of us 
in comfortable, fuzzy bathrobes as we watched our 
prodigy open their gifts. I got lost in that 
comfortable fantasy, turning it over and over, looking 
at it from different angles, the way a film director 
might, looking for the best shot.

And then, as always, that sad little tug at my heart as 
the fantasy machine ran out of steam and told me that 
it would never be, that I was chasing rainbows again, 
that I should be happy with things the way they stood, 
and that I should find someone to love, someone that 
would love me as much as I loved Dana.

The idea that there might actually <be> someone like 
that was, of course, ludicrous.

Snorting to myself, I changed the channel to HBO. 
"Ghost" was playing, and I watched Demi Moore and 
Patrick whatisname make slow love after smearing clay 
over each other. That closeness, that physical intimacy 
that was made so much better by the already-established 
emotional intimacy made me teary eyed. 

As always, when I watched two characters in love kiss 
on screen, I felt like I was having a heart attack. 
This little pain starts in the middle of my chest, 
about heart-high, and then makes a sharp left and 
descends... and then slowly fades away. I'm not sure 
what that is, but I feel it. The most intense I ever 
felt it was when I saw Dana kissing her boyfriend in 
the mall. She didn't see me, didn't know I was there, 
and I watched them osculate hungrily, tongues meeting 
to play on that silken field, and I wanted to kill that 
man with my bare hands.

I heard the door open behind me, and I noticed the 
clock on the VCR. It was 12:30am...Christmas Morning. 
Dana had been in her bedroom for forty minutes. I 
wondered if she'd brought Glow Worm out to play.

"Ghost is on," I said, without looking. I knew that it 
was one of her favorite movies. There was no response, 
and I detected that she was standing in the doorway to 
her bedroom. Curious, I looked over my shoulder and 
felt my heart seize and the breath lock in my chest.

Dana was standing in the doorway, leaning against one 
arm held above her head, all her weight on one leg, the 
other bent slightly and held forward of the other... a 
model's pose. And she was modeling my teddy.

"Like it?" she said. Her voice was a husky, deep-
throated whisper. I was speechless. I nodded softly. "I 
remembered what you said a few years ago... about not 
giving me anything you couldn't see me in. And then I 
remembered what I said tonight about looking for a nice 
guy. And then I finally listened to what you had to 
say, Rick. I really heard you this time."

Still speechless, all I did was nod.

"C'mere," she said, softer still. I stared at her, my 
mouth dropping open. Surely, she couldn't mean... could 
she? My question and prayers were both answered when 
she crooked her finger at me.

On shaking legs I stood and walked to her. She dropped 
the arm that had been on the jamb and let it fall on my 
shoulder. She curled her fingers, and she was suddenly 
scratching the back of my neck lazily, as one might 
scratch a cat behind the ears. Believe me, if I could 
have, I would have purred. Her touch on my skin, this 
first electrical, sexual touch sent bolts of passion 
shooting through my body. I wanted so desperately to 
feel and smell and taste every inch of her that I shook 
with desire.

Dana stepped in and molded her body against mine. I 
could feel the dual pressure of her breasts against my 
chest and the hot, burning pressure of her vulva 
against my abdomen. She levered my neck, bringing my 
face to hers, closer...closer.

And then we kissed. Really kissed, for the first time. 
Her lips were soft and hot and slightly moist, just as 
I'd always imagined them. It was a soft, friendly kiss 
at first, scared and slightly tentative. As the passion 
grew to overtake us, the pressure increased in little 
leaps and bounds until we were kissing hungrily, trying 
to consume each other through our mouths. My arms went 
around her, crushing her body against mine. 

Six years of accumulated passion and denial welled out 
of my body, transmitted to hers through the kiss. She 
could feel my need, my hunger for her, for every soft, 
sweet, tender inch of her, and she responded, grasping 
my shoulders with her hands, pulling me closer. As 
Groucho once said, "If I were any closer, I'd be behind 
you!"

And suddenly, it was clear. As clear as a mountain lake 
on a cool spring morning. Still kissing her, I bent and 
swept her legs into the crook of my arm and carried her 
into the bedroom. The only light on was the bedside 
table lamp, and it had a red handkerchief draped over 
it, giving the room and eerie, ethereal glow. Gently, 
like she was made of porcelain, I laid her on the bed 
and stood above her, admiring.

Dana's hands were by her side, and she slowly trailed 
them up, over her ribs, shoulders, and then into her 
hair. She lifted it away from the pillow, arranging it 
beside and behind her, imploring me with my eyes.

"Hurry," she whispered. "Oh, please hurry."

I started to take my shirt off, a heavy flannel work 
shirt that I loved because it was so warm and soft. 
Dana shot to her knees and slowly made her way to the 
edge of the bed.

"Let me," she said. Locking her gaze with mine, she 
undid the first button and spread the shirt, kissing 
the part of my chest that was suddenly visible. Her 
kisses were light and kittenish. Slowly, she unbuttoned 
the entire shirt, exploring the muscles and skin she 
found, slowly and gently licking each nipple until it 
throbbed in her mouth.

Returning her gaze to mine, she tugged the tail of the 
shirt out of my jeans and worked it down my arms, 
tossing it over her shoulder. I sat down on the bed, my 
back to her, and started to work my cowboy boots off.

Dana wrapped her arms around my neck from behind, 
slowly and softly running her silk-covered breasts 
across my back. I could feel the twin hot, hard points 
of arousal digging into my back. I moaned softly, deep 
in my throat, still trying to get my mind in gear.

The boots came off with a little tugging, and then my 
socks followed. I could feel the tension in my groin, a 
hot, bulging hardness, a staff of pure passion and 
hunger, all emotional and physical appetitive that 
would not be denied any more.

Standing, I turned to her and slowly unbuckled my belt. 
Dana sat back on her haunches, sexily biting her lower 
lip, her eyes focused on my hands as I worked. The belt 
opened, then the button, and the fly. I don't wear 
underwear, and the hot, hard tip of my staff peeked 
out.

"Ooooh!" Dana said, her features melting into an 
expression of pure desire. I shrugged my hips and the 
jeans fell straight to my ankles. I stepped out of 
them, and she could finally see me, all of me, 
presented for her inspection and approval.

She smiled, and I suddenly felt proud that I could 
display my hunger. Dana reached out a tentative hand 
and grasped me softly. Her hand was almost unable to 
enclose my girth, so aroused was I. She began a gentle 
stroking motion, sending electric shocks up and down my 
spine.

"I had no idea," she whispered. "No idea at all!" Then 
with a giggle, she said, "Is that <all> for me?"

"All for you, always and forever," I whispered. With 
shining eyes she looked up at me, and then leapt from 
the bed like a jungle cat, wrapping her arms around my 
neck and dragging me back to the bed, crushing herself 
with my weight. I tried to shift myself off of her so 
as not to crush her, but she held on.

"I want to feel you against me," she said in between 
kisses. I settled on her body, running my hands through 
her hair, returning her kisses with all the passion I 
felt. We stayed that way for a long time, eagerly 
devouring each other's mouths, lightly rubbing against 
each other, my erection lightly teasing her silken 
mound.

Slowly, I began to expand the scope of the operation. 
Kissing Dana's neck, I removed the shoulder straps and 
moved to the skin there, lightly, dryly kissing her, 
taking my time. A little voice in the back of my head 
was patiently lecturing that this might be my one and 
only chance with the woman of my dreams and fantasies, 
and I was going to do it right. I had always professed 
to getting my own greatest satisfaction from my 
partner's satisfaction; it was now time to put rhetoric 
into practice.

I worked her body softly, always touching, always 
stroking, taking my time to taste every single inch of 
her, never rushing, never hurrying. I spent a good ten 
minutes on her shoulders, neck and face before removing 
the silk cups that surrounded her soft, snowy peaks.

When I finally revealed her breasts, I noticed that the 
nubs were already hot and tight with arousal. Her taste 
was sublime, better than the ultimate sorbet; I worked 
each orb slowly, gently, patiently working towards the 
ultimate conclusion. My hands were busy, stroking here, 
lightly touching there, always gently exploring, like a 
blind man might.

She began to writhe beneath me, the combination of my 
touches gathering momentum in her center, drawing her 
ever closer to the inevitable. I could feel her moist 
heat underneath my hand, and I gently rubbed her 
pleasure center, looking for the right mixture of 
pressure and motion. Her hands clutched my shoulders 
and she gently rode my probing digits through a wave of 
climax, sobbing softly so great was her pleasure.

Returning to the land of the living, Dana attacked my 
mouth, kissing me with an animal desire that I didn't 
know she had, but always suspected she possessed. I 
removed the teddy, and we were finally together, naked, 
bodies touching in the soft red light of her bedroom, 
staring into each other's eyes as my hands gently 
touched her chest and legs and her hands stroked my 
buttocks and back. There was a long moment where we did 
nothing but stare at each other, each thinking silent, 
private thoughts.

I have never felt closer to another human being than I 
did to her at that moment. Her skin was warm and soft 
and smelled slightly of lilacs. Under that, at a more 
primal, phenomenal level was the scent of her arousal. 
It filled my nostrils and made the thoughts in my head 
turn from the soft, loving encounter I had planned (?!) 
to more animalistic, passionate "taking" ... dismissing 
those thoughts from my head, I slowly lowered my head 
and kissed Dana again, savoring the taste of her mouth 
as our tongues gently entwined.

Two hands pushing against my chest filled my head and 
heart with sudden panic. Looking at Dana's face, I did 
not see reproach or anger, only passion. She wanted me 
to turn over, not leave. Heaving a mental sigh, I did 
as she wished, and then underwent the staggering 
pleasure of having her repeat to me what I had done to 
her only moments ago, a gentle touching and feeling of 
my entire body, centering around my pleasure centers 
for instants at a time, only to move on to less... 
dangerous place, lest I spend to quickly and break this 
most magical of spells.

She was kissing my knees, and then the inside of my 
thighs as she approached the towering monument of my 
manhood. It twitched, trying to both encourage and 
repel her slow, feline attack. And then her mouth was 
around me, enveloping the head, bathing my most 
sensitive skin with hot, moist saliva. I struggled, 
trying to think of anything but the incredible pleasure 
I was feeling. I thought of calm lakes and still ponds, 
sunsets over a gently crashing ocean. I thought of 
horseback riding across a grassy field, the sun at my 
back, the scent of wildflowers.

And then it was too late. With a lurch and a staggering 
gasp, I spent, casting my seed upon her. Dana did not 
let up, but redoubled her efforts, intense on retaining 
as much of my essence as possible, wanting so much to 
keep this gift I had offered her. In my dealings with 
her in the past, I knew that this had been a sticking 
point with a previous lover, her inability or lack of 
desire to fulfill to completion this most intimate of 
kisses, and I was warmly touched by her efforts to 
satisfy me in this way.

Finished, she crawled up my body and settled into my 
arms. Knowing that it would both surprise and amuse 
her, I kissed her mouth, tasting the brine of her most 
recent activities in my own mouth; if asked previous to 
that moment, I probably would have denied any desire to 
do this, but with Dana it was an intimate, special 
moment that sealed the passion between us better than 
any mere words ever could have.

She was tentative at first, unsure that I knew what I 
was doing; as she realized that I not only knew, but 
welcomed it, the kiss intensified and we shared the 
remnants of my generous liquid. Rolling over on the 
bed, I returned to tasting her body, eager to give her 
the same pleasure that she had given me. I worked my 
way down her torso, stopping to French tickle her 
navel, listening to the responding giggle and thinking 
that the songbirds in the trees would be jealous could 
they hear Dana's laugh, and then continued on to her 
legs, all the way down to her petite feet, taking each 
toe in my mouth and sucking gently, rubbing and 
touching seemingly everywhere at once.

Returning northward again, I slowed as I approached her 
center, wanting to draw out the agonizing tease, 
wanting her to be shuddering with need and desire 
minutes before I arrived.

And then I had a sudden thought. I knew something about 
her that no one else did. Years ago, scant months 
before we first met, there had been another man in her 
life, a so-called friend that had taken advantage of my 
Dana one night, a night spent with too much liquor and 
not enough common sense, until she was in no position 
to refuse his advances, until he took from here that 
which should always be given. 

My outrage and murderous impulses towards this man were 
only compounded the night Dana tearfully admitted that 
not only had he committed that atrocity against her 
body and soul, but he had left something with her, 
something that would always be with her, a little 
horrid something that would appear in times of stress 
and linger for days. We called it "The 'H'" between us, 
and there was always an understanding that it made no 
difference to me one way the other, and it was about to 
be proven in the most intimate way there was.

I'm sure she expected me to swerve, lest it be the 
wrong moment. I knew that if she knew, she would tell 
me so that we would take the proper precautions, so I 
continued ever upward. I was willing to take the 
chance, and not stop and spoil the mood by asking. I 
wanted my absolute disregard of personal issues to be 
another gift to her, another way of telling Dana that I 
loved her no matter what... forever and always.

And then I was upon her, tasting her arousal and 
excitement, following it up by rubbing her pleasure 
center with my nose, gently, like a kitten might bump 
noses with you. Dana's hips responded like a young 
colt's driving herself into my mouth again and again as 
I tried to keep her still so I could concentrate on 
giving pleasure. 

Her slickness aroused me to no end, and I tried to 
capture and taste as much as I could, knowing and 
believing that it was ambrosia. Her hands were in my 
hair, nails scratching my scalp. Little feral moans, 
animal sounds really, started emanating from deep 
within her body, and I rode her slick "V" through two 
monumental climaxes, grinning to myself and feeling 
myself grow closer still.

Finally, I separated from her vulva and made my way 
still northward, again sharing a kiss with her. She 
sucked hungrily at my mouth, eager for her own taste, 
her own scent. We stayed that way for several long 
moments, enjoying the glow of pleasure and satisfaction 
between us.

A hand reached down below my waist and gently circled 
me. "My, my," Dana said. "Is this all for me? And so 
soon?"

"Always and forever," I whispered again. Dana smiled at 
me and tugged at my waist, pulling over on top of her. 
I felt myself nudging at her entrance, and then I was 
penetrating her, filling her with me. She was 
mercurially warm for me, a silken vise coated in slick, 
hot honey that covered every inch of my passion and 
bathed it with hers. We began to move together, gently 
at first, softly, two friends exploring the dimensions 
and limits of passion together, trying to find a 
rhythm, a pace that we could call our own and dissolve 
into, losing our separate identities and becoming a 
spiritual 'one.'

Slowly, in stages, our passion increased until we were 
rutting like animals, sweat pouring between us, our 
skin sticking on each stroke. Our breathing 
intensified, and we moved closer and closer to the 
ultimate, mutual release point. My view was filled with 
the sight of Dana's face, her eyes closed in enjoyment, 
concentration and passion, sexily biting her lower lip, 
her upper lip covered with a fine sheen of 
perspiration, her incredibly soft and firm breasts 
jiggling with each stroke, her soft, guttural moans of 
enjoyment filling my ears. 

I could feel my own impending release arriving, and I 
waited for her, exercising a control I wasn't aware I 
possessed, until I felt her clutch at me, inside, 
drawing my semen from me, into her, until we 
completed...together, collapsing against each other as 
the waves of release and passion washed over us, 
drowning us both in their unstoppable waves.

Slowly, our breathing returned to normal as we held 
each other and talked and laughed quietly.

"My God!" she enthused, smiling like a woman who had 
just discovered a very delicious secret. "I had no 
idea, Rick!"

"I did," I said seriously, a half-smile on my face. "I 
always knew it would be like this... between us."

A little frown crossed her face. "Really? How?"

I shook my head, eyebrows raised. "I don't know 'how' I 
know... I just did. I've been thinking about this 
moment for six years."

"Since when?!"

"The day we met. I looked up at you, and I knew at that 
moment that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with 
you." She opened her mouth to respond to <that>, and I 
silenced her with a finger across her lips. "That's not 
what I meant, Dana. Even if nothing else ever happens, 
it will be worth it, because I have this perfect 
pristine moment, holding you in my arms after we made 
love. I've wanted nothing but that for the longest 
time, just the chance to show you what we can be like 
together. 

"Let's just leave it like this for now, honey. I'm not 
expecting anything from you. I just want to spend 
tonight in your arms, holding you, feeling you next to 
me. As far as <tonight> goes, I don't want to let you 
go. When the bright, rational sunlight of morning is 
filling this bedroom, we can discuss all the other 
issues. But for tonight... just let me hold you."

She dissolved into my arms, sobbing either with 
happiness at this newfound joy, or sadness because she 
suspected it was only for tonight.

I didn't know which, but you know what? As we slowly, 
softly fell asleep that Christmas Eve, I didn't care. I 
knew that I had given her something only one person on 
the Earth could give her; I'd given my all to her, 
given of myself to her, and she had taken it 
gratefully, with love and warmth and tenderness. 
Whatever arctic winds waited in the wings for tomorrow, 
ready to blow what we had out to sea, I knew I would be 
happy and content.

We fell asleep in each other's arms. I woke first, 
almost half an hour before Dana did. I spent the time 
watching her sleep, the sun cutting in from the window, 
split into prison-bar shadows by the blinds, 
perpendicular to her body. Dana was on her stomach, her 
face towards me, her hair a glorious mane of disarray 
on the pillow. I could see the flattened weight of her 
breasts against the mattress, and the gentle sloping 
curve of her rump. The sheets were down below her 
waist, low enough so I could only see the beginning of 
the cleft of her behind. 

Breathing slowly, evenly, her face the innocent mask of 
an angel, I toyed with her hair and brushed it away 
from her face, content to just look at her as she 
slept. In my fantasies, I always used this special time 
to whisper sweet nothings to her, to tell her sleeping 
form how much I loved and adored her, how I would 
never, ever leave her, things like that.

"Dana," I said softly so as not to wake her, "I'm not 
sure what today is going to bring for us, let alone 
tomorrow. But I want you to know... that I always loved 
you, and I will always love you. You're the first 
person I want to talk to every morning, and the last 
person I want to talk to at night. I want to share 
every aspect of my life with you. I know that it may 
not be what you want... but I want you to know that 
it's here for you if you want it. All you have to do is 
ask me, and I'll be yours... always and forever."

Dana opened her eyes and smiled at me, and I knew with 
a sudden, embarrassed certainty that she'd heard my 
entire spiel. Kissing me gently, she asked, "Always?"

Kissing her back, I said. "Forever."
