As it turned out, no one stayed over. It could be that everyone took pity on me and the fact that I hadn’t had s*x in years, or they were just horny themselves and needed to get laid. It was two o’clock in the morning by the time they were all gone.
I decided to clean up the games and put away the tables much, much later. I needed Ben right now.
He followed closely behind me as I led the way upstairs to my bedroom. To me it was cozy and inviting, the king-size bed comfortable. A lamp was on. I hadn’t any idea what my soon-to-be lover would think of it all. It was definitely subdued compared to his place.
“This room reminds me of you,” he said as he pushed me slowly toward the bed. “I like it. It’s lived in, comfortable, unassuming. Perfect.”
The back of my knees hit the bed and I sat.
