Her fingers trailed down to the small of his back, and then beyond, traipsing lightly over his taut, perfectly shaped ass. She slid her hand up, across his side and under his arm, finding his broad, solid chest. She could feel her excitement grow as she played with his nipples, pinching them firmly enough to at last draw a slight moan. She smiled in amusement as she slid her hand down his chest to his flat stomach. And then lower, and lower, until …
“I gotta take a leak.”
She giggled. “That’s so hot. I can see why you get all the ladies.”
He rolled over and kissed her. “I’ll be right back!”
He pulled back the covers and stood up. He stretched his arms high over his head, in all his splendor, and let out a loud yawn before he walked over to the bathroom door. He didn’t close it, but stood with his back to her as he relieved himself. She smiled inwardly at the intimacy.
Before he got back into bed, he went to the window and peeked out through the heavy curtains. “It’s snowing again,” he said.
“Is it?”
“Jesus, I’ve never seen a winter like this before. Feels like the last time I saw a color other than white or gray was a fuckin’ year ago.”
“I can add a little color into your life,” she teased.
“I bet you can.”
He turned to look at her, lying in bed, partially covered by the sheet. He was hard, and she could feel her own excitement grow. Gazing at him, she was shocked at how beautiful she found him fully naked. She’d always been drawn to men, and she had been confident in her sexuality at an early age. She had enjoyed sex with the men she had dated, but she had never consciously been appreciative of the male member. For some strange reason, though, she was truly enamored with that particular part of Buddy’s anatomy. As she stared at him, she blushed at her brazen desire. She wondered whether the pregnancy was pushing her hormones into overdrive. At the moment, though, she didn’t really care. “Come here,” she demanded.
“I should check my phone first.” He came over to her and sat on the side of the bed, picked his phone off the bedside table.
“No,” she said firmly. “We promised each other the phones stay off. This is our vacation, remember?”
“I should really—”
“No!” She grabbed the phone out of his hand. “I read an article that said that couples are losing interest in each other because they spend too much time on their phones. It’s killing intimacy.”
“Where’d you read that?”
“Some article that came up on my phone’s newsfeed. See?” She put the phone back on the table. “Come back to bed.” She grabbed his hand and pulled him toward her.
He smiled at her. “You’ve convinced me.”
