|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken was nervous as he stood at the back of the chapel. He'd been
|
||
|
to other funerals, but this one would be different. The chapel
|
||
|
wasn't full, but it was well filled as the soothing music ended
|
||
|
and Bob Fuller walked up to the casket.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ladies and gentlemen," Bob began, using the lid of the closed
|
||
|
coffin as a lectern of sorts. The low murmur of conversation
|
||
|
ceased. "Rick McCleary asked me to say a few words here, and so
|
||
|
I'm speaking to you now. I knew Rick and Anne well, but not so
|
||
|
well as I would have liked. As most of you know, Rick knew he
|
||
|
was going to die more than a year ago, and many of you know that
|
||
|
this last year has been harder on those of us who know Rick than
|
||
|
it was on him. I don't know that I'd have the strength to take
|
||
|
things in the calm way he did, and I'm sure I'm a better man for
|
||
|
having known him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Before he died, Rick made some very special requests of some of
|
||
|
us, and as his minister, he consulted me on some of these re-
|
||
|
quests. I'm afraid that some of his requests may shock some of
|
||
|
you, I know they shocked me when the two of us first talked about
|
||
|
this together. Anyway, after hesitating a long time, I agreed to
|
||
|
go along with his wishes, and so, here I am.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ken, Anne, would you and the other pallbearers come forward?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken walked to his place at the side of the coffin, opposite Anne.
|
||
|
She smiled a thin smile at him, then took her place opposite him
|
||
|
and next to the minister; the other pallbearers, two men and two
|
||
|
women, all good friends of Ken and Anne, took their places by the
|
||
|
sides of the coffin.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Normally," Bob Fuller said, addressing everyone. "Normally, I'd
|
||
|
have objected to Rick's idea of playing a tape of him at his
|
||
|
funeral. It's usually something egotistical and tacky, but this
|
||
|
time, I agreed to do it because of his special wish. Here it
|
||
|
is."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bob Fuller walked over to the side of the room and pushed a
|
||
|
button on a tape player. As he came back to his place at the
|
||
|
head of the coffin, Rick's recorded voice filled the room. Ken
|
||
|
was a unnerved by the sound of Rick's voice. It wasn't the weak
|
||
|
voice of a dying man he had heard the week before, but the strong
|
||
|
healthy voice he'd almost forgotten. He guessed that the tape
|
||
|
must have been made months ago.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Friends," Rick said, and then paused. "I suppose if you're
|
||
|
listening to this, I must be dead. Sorry, I don't mean to sound
|
||
|
so corny. Well, if everything goes as I planned, Al, Beth, Fred
|
||
|
and Ellen should be around my coffin right now. I asked you four
|
||
|
to serve as pallbearers for two reasons. First, you are my good
|
||
|
friends, and second, you are all good friends of Ken and my wife
|
||
|
Anne, who should be serving as the other two pallbearers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Anne, my love of ten years, I suppose I've been a real pain this
|
||
|
last year, and in a way, I'm glad for you that it's over at last.
|
||
|
I know it's awfully unconventional to ask the widow at a funeral
|
||
|
to serve as a pallbearer, but I'm glad you agreed to do it. I
|
||
|
know enough about what you like to have felt awful about what
|
||
|
I've denied you, and, well, to be blunt, if you've been unfaith-
|
||
|
ful during my illness, thank you for being discrete, and I hope
|
||
|
it was with Ken."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken glanced nervously at Anne, wondering what had come over Rick
|
||
|
to make him record such an odd tape and why Bob had decided to
|
||
|
play it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ken," Rick went on. "I've known you longer than I've known
|
||
|
Anne. Remember long ago, long before I got sick, we were joking
|
||
|
about things, and you said that, if it hadn't been for me, you'd
|
||
|
probably be going after Anne? In a way, that's what inspired
|
||
|
this whole idea of mine. Some of you might call it a damned
|
||
|
idea, and maybe it is."
|
||
|
|
||
|
While Rick's recorded voice spoke, Ken wondered what he had in
|
||
|
mind. He'd had some pretty weird talks with Rick after he got
|
||
|
sick, and on at least two occasions, Rick had more than hinted
|
||
|
that Anne and Ken should get together. Ken had agreed with him,
|
||
|
to quiet him down, but he hadn't followed through and actually
|
||
|
approached Anne. He really was in love with her, but at an
|
||
|
honorable distance. Just the same, he was more than a bit un-
|
||
|
nerved by Rick's open discussion of his interest in Anne.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Rick continued. "I've spoken to many of you about my hopes for
|
||
|
what would happen after I die, but I haven't told my entire plan
|
||
|
to anyone, that is, anyone other than Reverend Fuller. He didn't
|
||
|
like my idea at first, but if he's playing this tape for you, he
|
||
|
must have agreed to it at last. I hope so, because I did my best
|
||
|
to talk him into it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Anyway, Anne, You also told me once that if it hadn't been for
|
||
|
me, you thought Ken was as close to your dream man as they come.
|
||
|
You know I don't like mourning, we've mourned together for more
|
||
|
than a year, ever since I found out that my condition was termi-
|
||
|
nal. Enough mourning! You know I didn't really want a funeral
|
||
|
at all, I'm dead now, it doesn't do me any good. You folks who
|
||
|
are still alive can remember me if you want, but don't be sad
|
||
|
about it! Celebrate what I accomplished, if you wish, but spend
|
||
|
your time looking forward to a fun future, and while you're here,
|
||
|
make friends, renew acquaintances, and enjoy yourselves.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"With that in mind, I've asked the Reverend to spend some of my
|
||
|
money and book a place for dinner after you've planted my re-
|
||
|
mains, but before you do that, I've got some business in mind."
|
||
|
|
||
|
While Rick's voice paused, Ken realized that he was looking idly
|
||
|
at Anne. He'd never known that Anne had any romantic interest in
|
||
|
him after she married Rick, although she'd occasionally teased
|
||
|
him and she'd always been a very open and friendly woman. As
|
||
|
what Rick had said sunk in, Anne smiled weakly at Ken from across
|
||
|
the casket, then looked down at her hands as if she might be a
|
||
|
bit embarrassed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Rick thought that she looked pretty, dressed in a black dress
|
||
|
that he at first thought looked very modest. The dress had long
|
||
|
sleeves and a long hemline, and Anne wore the cowl neck of the
|
||
|
dress up over her head. As Ken looked more closely, Ken realized
|
||
|
that the dress clung revealingly to her slim figure, it was not
|
||
|
merely pretty, it was sexy, and it was only the black color that
|
||
|
made it discrete.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ken," Rick's recorded voice continued. "Do you really want to
|
||
|
marry Anne? If you do, and if she's interested, do it now!
|
||
|
Right here.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Anne. Please don't mourn my passing. If you have anyone else
|
||
|
you'd like to love, don't let my memory get in the way. If you
|
||
|
think it would be fun to marry Ken right now, do it! I've asked
|
||
|
the Reverend, and he's agreed to do it under one condition, that
|
||
|
is, that I give both of you a way out if you don't like my idea."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Rick's recorded voice paused again while Ken tried to deal with
|
||
|
the shock of what he'd said. Ken had never thought of himself as
|
||
|
a very proper person, but his sense of propriety was offended by
|
||
|
the idea of getting married to the widow at a funeral. Even so,
|
||
|
as he looked up at Anne's shocked face, he felt tempted to do it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Here it is, and these are the last words I've recorded. I've
|
||
|
asked the organist to play a meditative interlude when this tape
|
||
|
ends, and I invite you two to whisper over the casket, consulting
|
||
|
with the Reverend if you want. When the interlude's over, you're
|
||
|
free to get married if you want, or free to go home single.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You know how I'd like this to turn out, but let me say one more
|
||
|
thing. Don't worry about satisfying me, I'm dead. Satisfy
|
||
|
yourselves. That goes for all of you who are here for my funer-
|
||
|
al! Bye folks!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
The recording ended, and as promised, the organist began to play
|
||
|
something that was quiet enough to allow whispered conversation
|
||
|
and loud enough to mask the sound of such a conversation from
|
||
|
anyone else who might try to listen in.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"This is the craziest darned thing I've ever heard of," Ken
|
||
|
whispered.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You're not kidding," Anne whispered in reply. She paused and
|
||
|
then went on. "It's just like Rick, though, you know that?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken looked down at his fingers on the lid of the coffin. "Right.
|
||
|
So what should we do?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Do we have any choice?" she asked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I guess it depends," he whispered.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"On what?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"On us. When Rick first suggested that I start courting you
|
||
|
behind his back, I was offended by the idea, it just seemed so
|
||
|
wrong."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I know what you mean," she whispered as the music continued.
|
||
|
"Rick told me I should be flirting with you. I guess I took it
|
||
|
as a kind of joke at the time, but..."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken paused to let her continue, but when she didn't, he did.
|
||
|
"But what? The truth is, I didn't follow up then, but in a few
|
||
|
months, after things settle down, after you've had a decent time
|
||
|
to get over Rick, I was thinking of calling on you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
She smiled quietly and reached over to put her hand on his. "I
|
||
|
was only going to wait a few weeks before I called you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"OK," Ken whispered, smiling faintly. "But I don't like being
|
||
|
manipulated like this. I liked Rick a lot, but in a way, I
|
||
|
resent what he's suggesting."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Me too," she said, "but is it really manipulation when someone
|
||
|
tells you to do something you already want to do?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
She broke off, as if startled by what she'd just said, and it
|
||
|
took a long moment for Ken to realize her full meaning. He
|
||
|
looked at her as her smile broadened, and then she leaned forward
|
||
|
to whisper. "Want to do it?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken looked at the mischievous twinkle in her eye, stunned, and
|
||
|
then smiled as he realized that it would be a fitting memorial to
|
||
|
Rick. "OK."
|
||
|
|
||
|
She motioned to Bob Fuller and whispered something in his ear,
|
||
|
and judging by his expression, he asked her a question, to which
|
||
|
she replied at length, glancing at Ken as she spoke. Bob looked
|
||
|
up at Ken and smiled, then leaned his way. "You really want to
|
||
|
go through with it?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes," Ken whispered.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"OK," Bob Fuller said, and then stood up straight at the head of
|
||
|
the casket and looked meditatively down at his hands while the
|
||
|
soft music continued. Ken tried to do the same, but he couldn't
|
||
|
keep his eyes off Anne, and when he looked at her, he saw that
|
||
|
her eyes were on him and that she had a faint smile on her lips.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As the music came to an end, Bob Fuller stood straight. "Well
|
||
|
folks, we've all agreed, so this will be more than just a funer-
|
||
|
al. Anne Smith McCleary, I've had long talks with you while your
|
||
|
husband was ill, and I know that you know Kenneth Anderson quite
|
||
|
well and you've known him for a long time. Do you take Ken to be
|
||
|
your lawful wedded husband?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I do," she said, faintly but clearly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Kenneth Anderson, do you take Anne McCleary to be your lawful
|
||
|
wedded wife?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I do," he said, shaking his head with wonder.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Then I pronounce you man and wife," Bob Fuller said. "Rick
|
||
|
asked me to make a specific request at this point. He asked me
|
||
|
to ask that you two kiss each other over his dead body, to be
|
||
|
quite literal."
|
||
|
|
||
|
There was a nervous chuckle from more than one person in the
|
||
|
chapel as Ken reached across the coffin to Anne and took her
|
||
|
hand, and then leaned over to kiss her.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Anne," Bob Fuller said, after they'd kissed. "Ken. I've known
|
||
|
the two of you for some years now, and I've known you were close
|
||
|
friends. Ken, you were Rick's roommate when he was courting
|
||
|
Anne, but if Rick hadn't set this up, I'd never have imagined
|
||
|
things working out like this. Social convention would have you
|
||
|
two waiting a good six months after the funeral, but you know
|
||
|
what? I figured that you two would marry then, and I think Rick
|
||
|
really is right, it's better that you two should comfort each
|
||
|
other. My blessings go with you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
The organist started playing a march as the pallbearers picked up
|
||
|
the coffin, but it wasn't a funeral march, it was a wedding
|
||
|
march, slow and dignified, but full of joy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Sorry about the mess," Ken said, opening the door to his apart-
|
||
|
ment.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You should see my mess," Anne said. "I don't really look for-
|
||
|
ward to going through all of Rick's stuff, that's one reason I
|
||
|
said we should come to your place."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken paused after he shut the door. Somehow, his thoughts all
|
||
|
afternoon had been dominated by the excitement of sharing some-
|
||
|
thing daring with Anne, and her mention of Rick's stuff was
|
||
|
shattering.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Anne," he said, and then hesitated. "Anne, what can I do to
|
||
|
help?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
She walked silently into the middle of his living room and looked
|
||
|
around briefly before turning to face him with a sigh. "Tomorrow
|
||
|
you can help me go over Rick's stuff, separating the trash from
|
||
|
the keepsakes from the rest." Her expression clouded briefly.
|
||
|
"I guess the rest goes to Goodwill or the crisis center."
|
||
|
|
||
|
She paused, looking at Ken, then grinned. "Third, make that the
|
||
|
day after tomorrow or later! These last few weeks have been
|
||
|
hell, and I need to totally wrap myself up in something else for
|
||
|
a while. Help me do that, will you?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken wasn't entirely sure he was ready to face what she had in
|
||
|
mind as he took her long coat and hung it in the closet by the
|
||
|
door. When he looked back at her, he almost did a double take.
|
||
|
She'd changed the way she wore her dress again. At the funeral
|
||
|
service she'd worn the cowl of her long black dress up over her
|
||
|
head, looking properly like a modest if slim and beautiful widow.
|
||
|
At the dinner party Rick had set up for after the burial, she'd
|
||
|
worn the cowl down around her neck, but now, she'd pulled it down
|
||
|
off her shoulders so the cowl formed a tight band around her
|
||
|
upper arms and over her breasts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She smiled at his attention and posed. "Like this?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes, that's quite a dress."
|
||
|
|
||
|
She grinned. "Would you believe Rick bought it for me six months
|
||
|
ago? He got it specifically for the funeral!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken shook his head and then chuckled. "So he did it to you too?
|
||
|
This is the suit he told me to wear!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I like it," she said, and then hugged him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken enjoyed her hug and returned it warmly, enjoying the soft
|
||
|
inviting texture of her dress under his hands and the warmth of
|
||
|
her skin under it. As he swept his hands slowly down her back,
|
||
|
he grew uncomfortably aware of her. Her hips were pressed
|
||
|
against his, and as his hand swept from her back to her hip, he
|
||
|
could feel nothing to hint that she wore anything under the
|
||
|
dress.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What a day!" Ken said, breaking the hug and sitting on the
|
||
|
couch.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Is something wrong?" Anne asked, sitting next to him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I don't know," he said, putting his arm around Anne's shoulder
|
||
|
more because the way she sat demanded it than because he felt
|
||
|
comfortable doing it. "It's been a long day, and I'm, well, I'm
|
||
|
not really prepared for the way it turned out."
|
||
|
|
||
|
She laughed gently. "I certainly never expected to get married
|
||
|
at my husband's funeral, but I'm glad I did. Come on, it's not
|
||
|
that late in the evening, and although we've known each other for
|
||
|
a decade, we've got a bit of work to do getting to know each
|
||
|
other."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken blushed. "I thought you might want to be alone. Are you
|
||
|
sure you want..."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ken," she said, leaning her head against his shoulder and speak-
|
||
|
ing in a soft, sad voice. "I've been alone and lonely too much
|
||
|
these last few months, what with Rick in the hospital and all.
|
||
|
Every night I slept alone, I had to face the fact that my husband
|
||
|
was dying, and towards the end, it was awfully hard on me each
|
||
|
time I visited him."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"He was my friend too," Ken said, remembering how Rick had
|
||
|
changed towards the end of his hospice stay. "So what do you
|
||
|
want to do with the rest of our evening."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"For now, just hold me like you are, make me feel secure."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Her head was resting against his shoulder, with his arm around
|
||
|
her and his hand resting gently on her hip. As she nestled
|
||
|
against him, she reached out with her free hand and held his free
|
||
|
hand to her stomach, stroking his wrist with her fingers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You know," she said, "sometimes, when Rick and I had a disagree-
|
||
|
ment, I used to wonder how things would have worked out if I'd
|
||
|
married you instead of him. Sometimes, I'd fantasize about
|
||
|
having an affair with you, or making love to you. How about
|
||
|
you?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken was slowly relaxing under her touch, letting his hand rest
|
||
|
against the warmth of her stomach as she stroked his wrist. "I
|
||
|
don't know, I guess I suppressed those kinds of thoughts, I
|
||
|
didn't want to hurt my best friends by threatening their mar-
|
||
|
riage."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"But you had thoughts to suppress."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes, you're very desirable, you know. I guess I always hoped
|
||
|
I'd find another girl who was as bright and pretty as you, but
|
||
|
nobody ever came close."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Her hand on his wrist gently urged him to shift his hand upward,
|
||
|
and now he found his thumb occasionally brushing the bottom of
|
||
|
her soft breast. "I like the way you're holding me," she said,
|
||
|
in a quiet voice. "Do you mind if I ask you how much experience
|
||
|
you've had with other girls? I mean, you introduced Rick and me
|
||
|
to a few of the girls you dated, but you never seemed to stay
|
||
|
with any of them for long."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Do you mean, am I still a virgin?" he asked, tensing up.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No, I just wondered why you never found anyone. No, that's not
|
||
|
really right, I guess I wanted to balance things. I mean, Rick's
|
||
|
name keeps coming up, and I thought that was unfair to you." She
|
||
|
was sounding flustered. "Oh hell, I guess I also wondered about
|
||
|
your sex life. Hold me!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
She pulled his hand up to her breast and held it there with her
|
||
|
hand while she continued to nestle her head against his shoulder.
|
||
|
He could feel her hard nipple through the tight band of her
|
||
|
turned down cowl, and the tip of his thumb rested against the
|
||
|
exposed flesh of her chest above her dress. He slid his other
|
||
|
hand up to cup her other breast before he went on.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"All right," he said, and then paused. The last time the topic
|
||
|
had come up between the two of them must have been back when
|
||
|
they'd dated each other, more than a decade ago. Ken had been a
|
||
|
virgin then, and so had Anne. "No, I've had sex with a couple of
|
||
|
the girls I've dated; should I name names? Oh hell, I've got to
|
||
|
live with you now, remember Karen? We slept together on and off
|
||
|
for a couple of years."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Was she good?" Anne asked, gently stroking his wrist as he
|
||
|
cupped her breasts in his hands.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Good? I liked her, I liked sex with her, we had lots of fun,
|
||
|
but..." He paused, wondering how to go on as he gently began to
|
||
|
fondle Anne's breast. "I guess she wanted lots of independence,
|
||
|
and I gave it to her. We never even mentioned marriage."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Anne sighed comfortably as he gently slid his hand over her
|
||
|
breast, and he wondered if she wanted him to slip his hand under
|
||
|
her dress. The way she'd folded her cowl down was inviting, and
|
||
|
he wondered how it would feel to slide his hand over her bare
|
||
|
breast and hard nipple. He slid his hand up and gently ran a
|
||
|
finger along the rolled top edge of her dress, letting it trail
|
||
|
under the edge a fraction of an inch.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She patted his hand with hers, then pulled at the fabric of her
|
||
|
dress, opening an inviting gap between fabric and flesh. He slid
|
||
|
his hands down over the rounded flesh of her breasts, feeling her
|
||
|
nipples between his fingers as he cradled her soft small breasts
|
||
|
under the tight band of her turned down cowl.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"So how do you like sex," she asked, speaking softly as she held
|
||
|
his hands to her breasts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I like it," he said, sliding one hand down to her stomach be-
|
||
|
neath the elastic fabric. "How do you mean?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What do you like doing?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Kissing, hugging, touching, intercourse, it's all fun..." He
|
||
|
was comfortably aware of the building pressure in his penis. "I
|
||
|
guess we didn't really try very many ways of doing it. Karen and
|
||
|
I didn't talk about sex much, we just did it. Cindy, well, she
|
||
|
liked talking about sex, but we didn't stay together very long."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Then maybe..." Anne said, and then paused. Without warning, she
|
||
|
eased his hands out from under her dress and got up from the
|
||
|
couch. She turned to face him, and then spoke in a low uncertain
|
||
|
voice. "Let me undress you, OK?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"OK," Ken said, excited by the prospect of being undressed by the
|
||
|
woman he'd loved at a distance for so long, but frustrated that
|
||
|
she'd pulled away from his hands. "Rick and I tried everything
|
||
|
in the book," she said, undoing his tie. "You know the kind of
|
||
|
man he was, always wanting to try things. Well, that applied to
|
||
|
sex and we tried quite a bit. Just about all of it was worth the
|
||
|
effort, and I think, right now, I'd like to surprise you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Anne undid his shirt, kissing his chest and sucking on his nip-
|
||
|
ples as she exposed them. He'd never really paid attention to
|
||
|
the sexual possibilities of his own nipples before, and he was
|
||
|
surprised to find himself reacting to her attention. His hands
|
||
|
were on her shoulders, and again, he slid his hands down under
|
||
|
the elastic fabric of her dress, sliding his fingers over her
|
||
|
muscular back and down to the sides of her breasts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He cooperated passively as she pulled his shirt off and set it
|
||
|
aside, but then he realized that it would be fun to take a turn
|
||
|
undressing her. "Can I take your dress off?" he asked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"OK," she said, standing in front of him."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"How does it come off?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Pull down."
|
||
|
|
||
|
He sat up and reached tentatively forward to hold Anne's thighs
|
||
|
between his hands, then paused for a minute looking at her as she
|
||
|
stood in front of him. She was a beautiful woman. He tentative-
|
||
|
ly slid his hands up her hips to her waist and then up to the
|
||
|
sides of her chest where he took the edge of her knit cowl in his
|
||
|
hands.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He tugged on the turned down cowl and pulled it down to expose
|
||
|
her breasts. They were small but pretty, not big enough to sag,
|
||
|
with large brown areolas surrounding her nipples. He let go of
|
||
|
her dress to gently touch them, and then pulled the dress down
|
||
|
farther so he could free her arms from the sleeves.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"May I kiss you?" he asked, looking at her breasts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You don't have to ask," she said.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He sat forward and gently touched his lips to her nipple while he
|
||
|
held her hips in his hands. She held his shoulders in her hands,
|
||
|
gently pulling him to her, and after gently kissing her other
|
||
|
nipple, he went back to the first, touching the velvet soft skin
|
||
|
of her areola with his tongue as he savored the smell and taste
|
||
|
of the woman he had known and loved from a distance for so long.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As he kissed her, he ran his hands over the soft fabric of the
|
||
|
dress that still covered her fanny. Again, he felt no hint of
|
||
|
underwear through her dress and again he hesitated. Her nipples
|
||
|
were hard between his lips, and he was content, for the moment,
|
||
|
to concentrate his attention on them as she ran her hands through
|
||
|
his hair and down the skin of his back.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You can slip my dress off, if you want," Anne said.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken let go of Anne's nipple as he slid his hands up to the turned
|
||
|
down top of her dress. He pushed down, letting his fingers slide
|
||
|
over her smooth skin as she slid the elastic cloth down over her
|
||
|
rounded bottom.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You're really not wearing anything under this dress?" he asked,
|
||
|
admiring the smooth curve of her belly and the neatly trimmed
|
||
|
patch of pubic hair between her legs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Nope," she said, stepping out of the dress as it slid down
|
||
|
around her ankles. "With dresses like this one, anything you
|
||
|
wear under them shows. You know, panty lines, that kind of
|
||
|
thing. I could have worn panty hose, I suppose, but with a long
|
||
|
dress, it doesn't seem to serve any purpose." She paused.
|
||
|
"Besides, Rick always liked it when I went without underwear; I
|
||
|
hope you don't mind."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken looked at her as she stood in front of him, admiring the
|
||
|
clean lines of her body. "No, I don't mind. I never
|
||
|
imagined..." He stopped, unsure what to say.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She knelt in front of him as he sat on the couch. "Come on,
|
||
|
let's get back to getting to know each other. Stand up so I can
|
||
|
finish undressing you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
He stood up and she took his hips in her hands and kissed his
|
||
|
belly, just above the belt, then leaned back so she could see
|
||
|
what she was doing as she undid the buckle. He was acutely aware
|
||
|
of his erect penis, only inches from her face as she opened his
|
||
|
belt and began to undo his pants.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You smell nice," she said, brushing her nose against the bulge
|
||
|
in his shorts as she slid his pants down.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I do?" Ken said, surprised.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You do!" she said, smiling as she pulling his shorts down to
|
||
|
free him. "I always liked the smell and taste of Rick. Come on,
|
||
|
sit down and relax."
|
||
|
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Good morning," she said, and Ken was disoriented for a moment.
|
||
|
He opened his eyes and yawned while he tried to focus. Anne was
|
||
|
sitting up on the bed beside him, resting her hand lightly on his
|
||
|
chest and looking at him with a faint but pleasant smile on her
|
||
|
face.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Good morning," he said, remembering the events of the day be-
|
||
|
fore. Between the funeral that had turned into his wedding and
|
||
|
Anne's interest in oral sex, he was surprised that he'd apparent-
|
||
|
ly managed to get a sound night's sleep.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She leaned over and gave him a gentle kiss. "Want to play around
|
||
|
a bit before breakfast?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
The idea was tempting, but Ken wasn't sure he was ready. "No,
|
||
|
I've got to piss, then let's get dressed and eat."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Don't get dressed," Anne said as Ken sat up in bed. "I've been
|
||
|
thinking about this since I woke up. We've got to get used to
|
||
|
each other's bodies, and what better way to do that is there than
|
||
|
to spend the day nude with each other?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Nude isn't always romantic," Ken said.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No, but so what? The point is to get over being shy with each
|
||
|
other."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken chuckled. "If that's what you want, you should ask to watch
|
||
|
me while I piss."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"OK," she said, surprising him. "Rick and I always kept the
|
||
|
bathroom a private place, but..."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I didn't mean to seriously suggest..." he protested.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I don't care if you meant it," she said. "It's a good idea.
|
||
|
Come on, go pee, I'll watch."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ken got out of bed and went to the bathroom, with Anne following
|
||
|
close behind. He felt awkward as he lifted the toilet lid and
|
||
|
began to piss, but she broke the ice with a nervous giggle.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You know something? I always knew men pissed standing up, but
|
||
|
I've never seen it done. Do you ever miss the toilet?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I've had plenty of practice," he said, shaking the last drop off
|
||
|
his penis and flushing the toilet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I suppose so," she said, sitting down. "Still, it seems odd.
|
||
|
Want to split a shower with me before we eat?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Sure," he said, noticing the warm musky smell as she pissed.
|
||
|
The smell was very familiar, but it was a while before he could
|
||
|
remember why. It was a smell he remembered from his childhood,
|
||
|
the smell of his bathroom after his mother had used it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Five minutes later, they were in the shower together. After they
|
||
|
were both wet, Anne turned off the water and then handed Ken the
|
||
|
soap. He lathered up his hands and then began soaping her wet
|
||
|
skin, starting at the neck and working his way down. Sliding his
|
||
|
wet hands over her soft breasts was fun, and by the time he was
|
||
|
soaping her fanny, he had a mild erection.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Don't be shy about my crotch," she said, gently resting her
|
||
|
hands on his shoulders as he knelt in the tub in front of her.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He realized he'd been avoiding sliding his soapy hands into her
|
||
|
crotch, and even with her urging, he hesitated for a moment
|
||
|
longer. Finally, he slid his hand up between her legs and cupped
|
||
|
her pubic bone, working soap into her pubic hair before he slid
|
||
|
his hand back to clean her soft lips and farther back between her
|
||
|
cheeks.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Did you and Rick do this often?" Ken asked, tentatively explor-
|
||
|
ing the warm cleft between her lips.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"That feels nice," she said with a sigh. "No, it's fun, but most
|
||
|
tubs and showers aren't really built for two."
|
||
|
|
||
|
He didn't linger long with his fingers inside her, she was right
|
||
|
that the tub wasn't a very convenient place for such play, and
|
||
|
kneeling in front of her on the hard tub began to hurt his knees.
|
||
|
Even so, he was very erect as he finished soaping her legs down
|
||
|
to her feet and then stood up to let her soap him. He expected
|
||
|
her to soap him as he'd soaped her, using her hands, but she
|
||
|
surprised him, using her soapy body to do the job. She hugged
|
||
|
him tightly in her soapy arms, sliding her body against his, and
|
||
|
only when she'd covered half of his body with soap that way did
|
||
|
she let go and use her hands.
|
||
|
|
||
|
After they'd rinsed and dried each other off, Ken hugged Anne,
|
||
|
kissing her as he enjoyed the pressure of her breasts against his
|
||
|
chest and the feel of her pubic hair against his still-erect
|
||
|
penis. She ran her fingers over his back while his hands rested
|
||
|
on the rounded mounds of her fanny.
|
||
|
|
||
|
After a long deep kiss on the mouth, Ken began gently kissing
|
||
|
Anne's cheeks and earlobes. His lips tingled slightly with his
|
||
|
excitement as he touched her smooth skin and gently nibbled on
|
||
|
her earlobes, and each gentle kiss Anne planted on his shoulder
|
||
|
seemed to stick there long after she'd moved on to other places.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Let's go back to bed," she whispered, between kisses.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He turned, holding her tightly as they walked back to the bed-
|
||
|
room. Ken pulled down the covers with one hand and sat on the
|
||
|
edge of the bed, still holding Anne's waist. Her left breast was
|
||
|
there, so he kissed it as she began to sit, and followed her
|
||
|
down, never letting go with his mouth as she spread herself out
|
||
|
on the bed.
|
