“I may…never leave this…bed,” I confided into his armpit as we lay abed the day slowly creeping toward evening.
“I would not mind. You are tiny and do not take much room from me.” He kissed my soggy hair, pulled me close to his side, and whispered lovely little things into the growing dusk, neither of us willing to get up to turn on a light. What he was saying was a sleepy mix of English and Italian endearments. Never had I felt so cherished by a lover.
“Then I can sleep here?” I enquired as night settled over the city of flowers. I’d not done such a thing before. Staying over? One didn’t do that with hook-ups. It was wham-bam-and-thank-you-Stan with nameless randoms.
“Yes, please, sleep with me.”
I nestled in tight even though it was hotter than Satan’s parlor. Donvino moved to this side, rolling back at a second with his cellphone. I glanced up to see him holding it aloft, centering us in the frame. I looked a fright. A well-loved sight but a sight nonetheless. Sated, I smiled dreamily at the camera, the captured image sound floating about on the steamy air.
“Send that to me?” I sleepily asked, my arm resting on his belly, the fan pushing air over my backside.
“Please don’t share online.”
I pressed my lips to the firm muscle over his thumping heart. “I would never.”
“Grazie. I am…someday soon I will tell them.”

Great scene.
Jean C. Joachim says
What a beautiful scene! It’s so filled with love, care, affection and longing. So sweet and sexy at the same time. Loving their relationship, especially the narrator. His insecurity is palpable. I hope it holds up. Beautifully written.
Flossie Benton Rogers says
Ah, beautiful and a little sad.

A great scene as usual. You’ve got this genre nailed.
Tricia says
What a sweet but hot scene. Loved his inner dialogue about it being his first time to sleep over. Great job!
