Page 72 of When You Left Me Speechless

“Was it this good the first time you made it?”

“No, the first few years were awful, but she ate it anyway.I think she was just thankful I didn’t burn her kitchen to the ground. Eventually, I perfected it.”

She looks up from her plate and smiles. Her eyes are soft and she looks at me in a way no woman ever has before.

“Well, it’s delicious. I was starving, so thank you, really.”

CHAPTER 45: A LITTLE STRESS RELIEF

LOGAN

After dinner, we clean up the kitchen together.

“Do you want to stay for a bit?” she asks, walking toward her bedroom. I follow her, shutting the door as I enter.

“I’d love to stay, chatterbox.” She smiles and sits down on her bed. “How are you feeling about everything?”

“I’m stressed,” she answers honestly. “I’m worried about graduating and passing these final tests. Luckily, Beth is an easy supervisor, but working all day and studying all night is a lot. I’m just ready for it to all be over.”

“Can I do something to help?” I join her on her bed. My hand finds her shoulder, and I massage it for a few seconds trying to relieve any tension that may be there. Her head falls back, and her eyes close.

She lets out a soft moan, “That feels good.”

“You want a massage?”

Her eyes shoot open like she is surprised by my question. “You’d give me a massage?”

“If it’ll help, sure, but I’m going to need you naked,” I tease.

Without hesitating, she rips off her clothes and lays on herstomach, giving me the perfect view of her ass. “Fuck, do you have any lotion or oil?”

“Under the sink.”

I dig through the cabinet under her sink until I find a bottle of lotion. I remove my pants and shirt, leaving only my boxers, and crawl onto the bed next to where she lies.

I take some lotion into my hands, rubbing it together to warm it up before beginning to run soft but firm circles up and down her back. The citrusy aroma fills the air.Damn, this is why she always smells so good.

I take my time working out every muscle in her upper body. Letting myself linger on her shoulders and neck. I can feel the tension melt away with every touch as she lets me explore her body with my hands. It feels incredibly intimate. I return to her back, and she lets out a little moan.

“Where do you want me to focus?”

“My lower back feels tight. You don’t have to be gentle. I won’t break.”

I continue to massage every inch of her soft skin. Slowly increasing the pressure. My hands find her lower back and come dangerously close to touching her ass. She shifts underneath me, and she ever so slightly spreads her legs apart, barely pressing her ass into the air, like she is begging me to touch her elsewhere.

I take her movements as an invitation and slowly move my hands down her hips. I reach her thighs and begin to massage up and down her legs slowly. She ever so slightly spreads her legs a little more, granting me access to her inner thighs. My hands come dangerously close to her center as I reach the top of her left leg. I hear her let out a little moan, and she shifts her hips again. I move to the right thigh, and she does it again when my hands reach the top. I push her legs further apart, spreading her wider and giving me full access to every part of her.

Her breathing quickens, and her hips rock again, revealinghow wet she already is. I bend down, placing kisses along her neck and back. I repeat the massage on both of her thighs and when she says my name, I let one finger find her center and slowly begin to play.

“You like it when I touch you here?” A small hum escapes her mouth as I bring my finger to her clit and draw small circles on the bundle of nerves.

“You look so fucking sexy laying here like this, spread wide for me.” My finger finds her center again, and then I slowly push it inside of her. She clenches around me, and her breath hitches.

Her hips slowly begin to rock against the bed. I add a second and then a third finger, stretching her wider. She groans my name into the mattress, and it sounds like a desperate plea for more.

I continue to let her ride my hand. Her body writhes against the mattress, and when I think she is almost there, I curl my fingers within her, hitting her G-spot perfectly. I watch her body tighten around my hand and listen as she calls out my name.
