Not always, I conceded.Seven years ago, I had a wife and a child. Today, I would have been taking them out.I signed deeply and pained at the thought of that. I might have faced my past and years might have passed, but it's never easy. I never got over their death.

My voice came out a shaky whisper as I stood up.She looked like she aged ten years in the past five years. She had none of her jeweleries on her body, her hair wasn't braided or styled, there was no fancy cloth on her body.She stared at me with recognition. She stared at me with pain in her eyes.Suddenly, her eyes watered.

My body was drawn taut with the need to move but instead, I kissed her wet brows, down to her cheeks.Seconds later, she whimpered and went lax under me, making relief to course through me. I pulled back and stroked into her gently.A heavy groan escaped my lips because I found heaven, and it was more than I've ever expected. I took leisure strokes until she sighed breathily.Then, I stretched out on top of her, taking her hands into mine and pinning it above her head. I pumped slowly, getting my bearings, learning the lay of the tight land. I love that she clutched me so closely. Her face buried in my neck.
