There was some part of me that hoped I could taste the passion between Sofie and me again, but in all honesty, I had no expectations for tonight beyond pampering her. She’d been a single mom taking care of our baby for so long that I knew she never took any time for herself. That was one thing I already knew about her. She was a completely devoted mother. It was time she took care of herself for a change. This was the only thing I could think of to do for her. Subconsciously, it might have also had a self-serving role, but I ignored that thought.

After checking into the B & B, we entered our room where I directed Sofie to sit on the couch while I ran her bath. Once I was satisfied with the water temperature, I headed out to the kitchen and cracked open the bottle of wine I’d had delivered in preparation of our arrival. I poured her a glass of the sparkling red liquid and located the chocolate I’d also procured. I took both of them into the bathroom with me while I checked the water level.

Once the bath was full, I went back out to the living area for Sofie. Hand in hand, we walked through the master bedroom, both of us pointedly ignoring the large king bed in the center of it. We entered the en-suite bathroom, the mirror already fogged with steam.

“Your bath is ready. Make sure you double-check the water temperature before you get in. I left you a glass of wine and some chocolate on the side table. Call me if you need anything. Take your time and just relax.”

I started to turn when her hand on my arm stopped me. Sofie stared at me, almost boldly. She slowly turned her back to me, peeking over her shoulder, as she pulled her hair to the side to expose her neck and back.

“Will you unzip me, please?”

I held back my surprise and delight at her request. I reached out, quelling my shaking hands, and clasped the zipper in my roughened fingers. The click of the teeth coming apart echoed in the room. As the dress opened even farther, exposing Sofie’s creamy white skin, my control flew out the window. Without conscious thought, my feet moved me forward until I was a hairsbreadth away from her. I couldn’t help but lean in to inhale her fruity scent. I dropped a light kiss at the nape of her neck and nibbled my way down her spine until I reached the dip at the top of her ass, pulling her dress down as I went.

The fall of her dress was momentarily stopped as it caught on her hips, but with only the slightest nudge, it slid past them and pooled on the floor around her feet. I trailed my kisses back up her spine, turning her to face me when I reached her shoulders. Her breasts sagged slightly with their weight, and I couldn’t help but picture Sofie nursing our daughter at these breasts. Of their own volition, my hands ran a path up her sides, cupping her glorious mounds, my thumbs flicking the pointed tips, causing a moan to escape her.

I dipped my head and took one turgid nipple in my mouth. Not wanting to forget about the other one, I moved to nibble her other breast. The sweet smell of her arousal filled my nose. Needing to know if my senses were deceiving me and that she truly smelled as delicious as I thought, my mouth blazed a trail downward, peppering kisses along her stomach as I lowered myself to my knees. My fingers traced a stretch mark here and there, and I was in awe that Sofie had housed and protected our little girl in her belly.

Finally, I reached my destination. Her tiny G-string left nothing to the imagination. I inhaled deeply her sweet smell.

“God, I love the smell of your arousal. It has me so fucking hard. I want to rip this underwear off and bury my face in your pussy, Sofie. I want to lap up every drop of your juice. My cock is begging to be buried deep inside you.”

“I want that too, David. Please, fuck me.”

Fuck the bath. I needed this woman more than I needed air to breathe. Her words were all the incentive I needed to yank the tiny piece of fabric down her legs. I never wanted to stop touching her, and I ran my hands up and down her legs before gripping her hips in my hand and feasting on her. Sofie’s fingers weaved into my hair as she gripped my head tightly, pulling me closer into her sweetness. My tongue traced around her clit before I sucked it deep into my mouth, drawing a choked gasp from above me.

Reluctantly, I moved away from her pussy, but knew my attention would return to it shortly. I gazed up at her flushed faced; her eyes were closed with an expression of ecstasy on her face. I knew at that moment I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this woman. I only needed to convince her. In one fluid movement, I stood and lifted her into my arms, one arm under her knees, the other behind her back. Her shriek of surprise had me laughing.

“David, put me down. I’m too heavy for you to carry.”

“Hush, woman. You’re light as a feather,” I said as I carried her out into the bedroom toward the bed we’d both avoided looking at earlier. I gently set her on her feet before reaching around her to turn down the bed. I drew my shirt over my head, only losing eye contact for a second. I kept my eyes on hers as I reached down to undo my jeans at the same time toeing off my shoes. Her eyes quickly followed the movement of my hands before returning to meet mine.

I lowered my jeans, taking my boxer briefs with them until I stood proudly naked before her. Never before had I been grateful I stayed in shape as, almost hesitantly, Sofie reached out to trace her fingers across my stomach. Her glance flicked downward, and her hands followed closely behind. She stopped short of my cock and just stared for a moment. It jerked when she licked her lips. I wanted to feel them wrapped around my throbbing cock. But that would have to wait. My need to be inside her was too great.

“Lie down.” A gravelly voice I didn’t even recognize as my own sounded in the room. Both of our breathing had increased with arousal.

As Sofie followed my command, I knelt at the bottom of the bed. When she was comfortably on her back, I bent her knees up toward her chest and spread her wide open. Her pussy, wet with arousal, and her puckered hole were both exposed to my gaze. My mouth watered at the sight. I slid one hand down her inner thigh, dipping a finger inside her to gather her juice before pulling out and gliding upward where I circled the tiny button peeking out behind its hood.

I watched as she threw her head back, her eyes closed in ecstasy. Without moving my finger from her clit, I raised up and took her mouth in mine. She tasted of the wine she’d had with supper and a flavor uniquely Sofie. I plunged two fingers inside her weeping pussy and swallowed the gasp that escaped her.

I thrust my fingers in and out as my thumb continued the assault on her clit. I crooked my fingers and felt the spongy place deep inside her. After only a few pumps of my fingers against her g-spot, Sofie’s body tensed, and an orgasm ripped through her. She screamed my name as she came and my chest puffed out with pride.

Sofie sighed in satisfaction, and a blissful smile crossed her face. Her eyes slowly opened, and we stared at each other, both of us overcome with emotion.
