Threes

With three children and three cats, Luna’s house seemed full of growing energy. In my own house where I lived alone, there was calm and orderliness. I suspected that that influenced Luna to declare that she preferred coming to me. She admitted to some anxiety about an unexpected visitor arriving at her house and that concern didn’t exist when she came to me. I was glad that she felt comfortable about exploring anal sex with me and I knew that we would continue to explore that territory.

In early December Luna texted her outdoor family photo with the four of them standing in front of the Christmas tree that they had cut down at the tree farm. There were plenty of cold red cheeks to contrast with the tall green tree and the white snow. Winter and Christmas were upon us in a rush and I needed to figure out what presents were appropriate for Luna.

I decided that a ring was premature and too meaningful, so earrings or a bracelet were a better direction. Luna enjoyed wearing colorful scarves and I was able to find one with giant red poppies on an Asian background at the Metropolitan Museum store. In other times, I had purchased many silk scarves while on my Southeast Asian trips. A silk scarf always made a great gift for a woman.

I labored over the choice of jewelry and it took many trips to various stores before I found some dangling red garnets set in silver. Those would highlight Luna’s choice of red streaks in her hair. Garnets were also my birthstone so they would add a personal touch, for me at least.

I knew that I would add Luna’s family to my Christmas cookie distribution. I always made tons of iced, shaped cookies with various colors of sugars and sprinkles. They were very festive and brightened up any room. I made multi-sized stars, angels, wreaths, snowmen and Santas. I was always entertained by observing which cookie someone chose to eat.

With all of these activities in play, I still didn’t know when I would get to be with Luna again. We maintained our limited texting for a couple of weeks until she had finished the school term. I was delighted to get a phone call one weekday afternoon. Luna asked about adding another man into the activities in my bed. She still wanted to be in a room with two masculine big dicked men. I could certainly relate to that request and suggested that I could find our third on Craigslist which still allowed sexual postings. I knew that neither of my male massage friends was going to be in town and it might be better for our first threesome to be with a person that neither of us knew.

Luna was open to that idea as long as I did all of the research work and then presented her with the information about the man who I had selected. That worked for me and the plan was put into motion for the upcoming Thursday when Luna was fairly certain that she would be available for an overnight starting in the evening. I was elated to have a plan in motion that included Luna. I didn’t have any anxiety about sharing her with another man who would likely only stay a couple of hours. Then the night would be ours.

The largest percentage of older men who used Craigslist was married men which would make the list of available options smaller in the evening when they would normally be home with their families. In this case, being close to Christmas was an advantage since they could declare that they needed to go out shopping. I was confident that I would be able to find a man who was well endowed and had a decent body.

After a couple days of going through responses to my extra man post, I settled on two possible choices. I forward the information and pictures to Luna who decided on the taller of the two men. Robert was recently divorced and I suspected that that was one of the appealing factors for Luna. He was more than six feet tall with short dark hair and an athletic body. He declared that he had more than seven thick inches of meat to offer us. He was exploring his bisexuality and didn’t mind if I played with him as well. As a late 40’s man, he seemed like a good fit for us. We exchanged some photos that kept identities private.

We set his arrival time for 45 minutes after Luna’s planned arrival, so that she could finalize her wardrobe and be relaxed when Robert arrived. I had suggested that we do a four hand massage on Luna who would be naked on my table. This idea was amenable to all and I had prepared the massage room in anticipation that Robert would be who he had declared himself to be. This also seemed to be a good method for assuring that Robert would show up. Internet meetings were never a guarantee.

Luna arrived at her anticipated time and had an air of special excitement about her. She was wearing tight black pants and a black leather jacket which complimented the black and red of her hair. She was striking and I was elated to have her back in my warm house. I had made a welcoming fire that would provide a sense of comfort and ease for both of my guests. Luna’s lips met mine before any clothes or shoes were removed. My lips relished the taste of her and my shaft rose in response to her presence. I found the leather to be an added excitement and enjoyed feeling it on her body. There was no doubt that there would be hot sex tonight whether Robert appeared or not.

Luna’s life of removing shoes upon entry took over while her lips were still pressed against mine. She became slightly shorter as a result and I had to lean down just a little more and turn to the side to keep our faces engaged in the joyful contact we had begun. My hands craved the touch of her flesh but the cold weather kept her encased in clothing. I brought Luna near the fire to warm her body; her spirit was already fully lit. I envisioned making her naked and having sex in the living room but I knew that she would want to keep herself clean and tidy for Robert.

“Do you want a glass of wine?” “Oh, yes,” came the smiling reply which included sparkling eyes. I poured her a glass of Montepulciano while she hung her coat on a hook near the fire. She was wearing a black satin blouse that hung loosely on her body and offered a good view of her luscious bosom. Robert was going to be in for a delightful evening.

We sat on the sofa and enjoyed our beverages while looking at the romantic fire. As we got closer to Robert’s arrival, I sensed tension building in Luna and asked if she wanted to freshen up. She went to the nearby bathroom to enliven her red lipstick and check that her hair was perfectly in place.

While she was there the doorbell rang and I arose to open the door. Robert was as handsome as his photo and he was carrying a few yellow roses which I knew would be for Luna. He was a gentleman in all respects and I was happy with our selection. I welcomed him into my house and took his coat to place on another hook by the fire. Luna came from the bathroom and smiled her welcome while greeting him with a warm hug. We hadn’t talked about kissing since I had seen her kiss other men already at the sex party. That was her choice and I was fine with whatever she did. I knew that she would be sleeping overnight with me.

Luna put the flowers in a clear glass vase and then offered Robert a glass of wine which he accepted with a friendly smile. I took a seat in the comfy chair so that the two of them could be together on the sofa. Robert encouraged Luna to sit first and he took a place a couple of feet away so as not to appear aggressive. He commented on how lovely she looked and Luna demurely accepted the comment. I knew that she had worked hard to be as attractive as possible for this event. Perhaps he had as well. He had on khaki pants and a dark green cashmere sweater which hid his athletic body for now.

Luna covered safe topics like his work before she asked if he had had any experiences with threesomes. We knew that the answer to that question was negative, but it was a good way to turn the conversation to something sexual. It was the top item on his bucket list now that he was single and had more availability. Luna asked about his bisexual life and discovered that he had been sucked by a man before and really enjoyed it. He wasn’t sure about sucking cock himself, but he assured her that he had an open mind. All of that was fine since the primary purpose was for Luna to have two hard cocks at the same time.

As the conversation progressed, I sensed that the two of them were getting comfortable with each other and I asked if Luna were ready for her massage. I told Robert not to worry about his skill set, because I would guide him through the four handed massage. Luna rose and headed to the stairway as a response to my question. “Come upstairs,” she directed to Robert who lost no time in following her to the massage room. I made sure that all was safe with the fire before joining them in their ascent to the room of pleasures.

I had the music playing already but I needed to light the candles which would be the only light in the room. Luna knew the drill of being naked and face down for the massage and she didn’t hesitate to take her proper position. Robert seemed a bit surprised at her ease of disrobing in front of a stranger. I directed Robert to undress except for his briefs which were emblazoned with a designer name. My shorts had a more discrete designer name which he would not have been able to see. Robert’s defined chest and muscled arms were now fully visible and I experienced pleasure in viewing his attractive physique.

I took my usual starting place on one side of the massage table and guided Robert to the other side. I put oil on my hands and on his and informed him that massage didn’t need a lot of oil, but just enough to reduce friction. Luna’s lovely body was fully exposed horizontally and there were two cocks that were engorging as a result. I knew that while Robert had declared he was exploring his bisexuality, he would be primarily focused on Luna, as was I. My goal was for her to be happy and satisfied with this threesome experience.

Four masculine hands sensually rubbed oil on her smooth skin while soft music played in the background. I knew that Luna was stimulated in mind and body, but she stayed in the same physical position allowing me to control the pace of the action. I wanted to make sure that she had a proper massage before we engaged in sexual activity. I sensed that taking that approach would increase the level of anticipation for all involved. As the massage progressed, Robert became more comfortable and his hands gained confidence in touching this beautiful naked woman. This experience wouldn’t turn him into a therapist, but it would provide him with enough ability to become a better lover.

When I asked Luna to turn over, she slowly moved as directed while I removed the head cradle from the table. Luna’s nipples were thickened and pointing toward the ceiling. I wanted to put one into my mouth, but resisted the temptation knowing that I would be able to do so soon. We oiled her body including her lovely breasts and I sensed that Robert was more stimulated than she was. For my part, I knew that the time had come to transfer the intention from sensual to sexual.

I massaged Luna’s left inner thigh and advised Robert to do the same to the right one. Involuntarily, Luna’s legs parted to expose her labia fully. There was a glistening there that was not caused by the oil we had provided. My right hand moved to cup her left breast and Robert followed my lead on her right breast. Luna inhaled and held her breath in place as her mind adjusted to what has happening to her body. None of our movements were rushed and all were done with a confidence that told her mind and body she was in good, safe hands. This was going to be a great evening.

Luna’s right hand reached over to massage the protruding bulge in Robert’s shorts while her left hand took control of what was in my pants. I lowered my underwear leading Robert to do the same. Luna now held onto two hard members that she stroked gently. I leaned down and kissed the nipple that had been on my mind and I was certain that Robert was happy to take the other nipple into his warm mouth. The breathing in the room picked up in intensity and volume. Mouths and hands reached for desirable parts and I knew that Luna wanted to feel a hard cock from in front and behind.

I used my middle finger to separate her labia and massage the opening to her pussy. Her legs pushed open further and Robert’s hand reached to massage her clit. Luna gasped from the dual attention and her body shuddered in response. I pushed my finger inside her pussy and located her G spot. I only needed to touch it softly to bring forth the first of Luna’s orgasms. Luna’s legs tightened on my hand but since I knew her body would attempt to push me out, I was able to keep my finger in place.

Our sucking on her nipples increased as did our breathing. Luna was no longer softly massaging our cocks but holding onto them firmly as her body anticipated being overfull. Luna pulled Robert’s member up to her mouth as she twisted her body to his side of the table. He was happy to oblige. Perhaps Robert hadn’t had his cock in a warm place in some time but tonight he would be well taken cared for. He turned his body sideways so that he could place his tongue on her clit while she sucked on his cock.

I decided that this was a good opportunity to test his bisexuality. I moved to the other side of the table and knelt where I could alternate sucking Robert’s cock with Luna. She was happy to see me ready to take on a hot man. She moved Robert’s hard member to me and I eagerly took him into my mouth. I didn’t know if he was aware of what was taking place but he made no movement to resist our efforts. He made approving sounds as he licked away at Luna’ clit and labia. Had he been in another position, I was certain he would have given her pussy a good tongue lashing as well. I adjusted myself so that I could lick his smooth balls, while Luna engulfed his shaft into her wet throat. She looked so sexy sucking on his cock with her red lips pressed against his veiny shaft. I was fully aroused and wanted to penetrate Luna.

I arose and put on a condom before directing Robert to assist in shifting Luna’s body to the edge of the table. I lifted her legs up onto my shoulders and slid my hard dick against her clit. Robert moved to the side of the table where Luna could take his cock back into her eager mouth. I slapped my hard shaft against her pussy repeatedly to stimulate the entry nerve endings. I teased Luna’s opening with the head of my cock, but she pulled herself against my body using her legs on my shoulders. I was pulled inside in one quick thrust that slammed my balls against her smooth ass. The rush of stimulation filled my brain with endorphins and I was the happiest I had been in more than a week. Here she was naked and sexy on my table with my dick filling up her pussy while a sexy man was shoving his cock into her mouth. Life was great!

I knew that she would orgasm quickly and pushed forcefully into her a dozen times to bring her to that great stimulation point. She yelled this orgasm into Robert’s cock which muffled the volume of her exclamation. I held Luna’s body tightly against my torso so that she would not be able to push me out. I slid my cock in and out of her strong pussy slowly and deliberately, giving sensuality a turn. Robert massaged her breasts and twisted the nipples while she was stuffed with cock at both ends.

I encouraged him to put on a condom and switch places with me. He was eager to do so and took my place at the end of the massage table. Robert didn’t tease her but pushed inside right away. She wrapped her smooth legs around his manly torso and pulled him against her body, just as she had done with me. Luna loved to take control and she looked forward to being able to expel this invader after he had brought her to orgasm.

I took my cock to Luna’s open waiting mouth and pressed my hand flat against her abdomen. I slid my hand lower until my middle finger located her clit. Her lips pressed hard against my dick while I gently massaged her very sensitive spot. As she got comfortable with my touch, I increased the pressure. Robert felt my hand in her crotch and thrust harder into Luna’s accepting body which twisted on the table from all of the stimulation. Her legs squeezed hard around Robert’s torso at the same time that she orgasmed onto his shaft. He was unprepared for Luna’s inner strength and his cock was pushed all the way out of her body. “Wow,” he exclaimed in surprise. We all laughed at his learning experience that I had had months ago.

I encouraged Robert to get back inside and give her what she wanted. He didn’t need much encouragement but quickly retook his place. This time he held her legs open as he made long deep thrusts into her body. His muscled body slapped up against her smooth flesh which jiggled in response to his movements. I saw the look of determination on his face and knew that he was going to keep on fucking her until he had his orgasm. There was no deterring him and I made no attempt. I lowered my face between Luna’s breasts and kissed her there and then on her lips while Robert took her pussy.

She held my lips against hers and separated them only long enough to say softly, “I love you.”  I didn’t think that Robert heard the words or cared. He was focused on his orgasm and left us to the relationship part. He was an attractive man and could have represented competition, but I didn’t have any emotional concerns. I was certain that Luna’s words were meant to confirm my place in her life and dispel any worries that I might have.

Our emotional moment was ended as Robert mounted his final thrusts and orgasmed into my sexy woman. She did her best not to squeeze him too tightly so that he could stay inside during the full length of his orgasm. The contortions on his face told me that he had released a great deal of tension in the process. I thought about moving behind him and massaging his back but I decided that he might not be comfortable with my hard cock pressed against his cute white ass. He released Luna’s legs and lowered them to the table as his spent dick slid outside.

I sensed that Robert’s time with us was finished now that he had made his orgasm. He behaved much like a still married man who hadn’t transformed into being single yet. Perhaps he had an early work day tomorrow, but it felt as though he just lost his comfort zone. I also sensed that Luna was ready to be done with our threesome and I didn’t care much one way or another. I had had a stimulating sucking on his fine cock and that was sufficient for me. I knew that more time with Luna to myself was just ahead and that was what I truly desired.

I directed Robert to the nearby bathroom for him to tidy himself. While he was away, Luna and I kissed passionately with her still naked on my massage table. It wasn’t going to take much to get her body back into an orgasmic state but we would wait for our guest to depart. “That was really wonderful. Thank you,” declared our gentleman caller as he came back into our candlelit room. He retrieved his shorts and began covering his lean muscled body. Once he was clothed, he kissed Luna on the cheek and shook my hand.

I put on pants to escort him to the exit. I retrieved his warm coat from the hook next to the potbelly stove and held it for him to put on. “Have a Merry Christmas,” I offered, knowing that I wouldn’t see him again prior to the holidays. “You too,” he returned as he exited into the cold dark night a happier man than when he had arrived. We hadn’t stretched his bisexual discovery much but he didn’t seem ready for more than we had done.

I returned to my naked sweetheart in the massage room. She was sitting on the table waiting for my return with open arms. I didn’t even take off my pants, but came directly into Luna’s grasp wanting to be with her as much as possible. Our lips met sweetly and she asked, “Are you OK?” I affirmed that all was well and assured her that I was not threatened by Robert. “I think that I want to keep our extra sex at the parties,” she declared. “Your Reiki treehouse is special to me and I don’t want to change any of that.”  I understood her need for a refuge from all of the pressures she endured from children, divorce and school. I was happy that my house and I could offer a safe haven that included love and nudity.

I wanted to orgasm with Luna still on the table. I removed my pants and brought her to the edge of the table again. Before I moved to penetration, I wanted to place my face between her legs and she was very amenable to that idea. As I knelt between Luna’s legs, she wrapped them around my neck and relaxed her body in anticipation of more orgasms. Her pussy smelled like sex and I licked the labia before I used my middle finger to stimulate her opening. I knew that she was eager for my finger to push inside and I didn’t linger long at the entry. I quickly located Luna’s G spot and pressed fully against her special place. She gasped openly and her legs tightened around my neck. I moved my tongue to her clit and lightly flicked it into another level of stimulation. Luna’s body thrashed back and forth on the table for a few minutes before she exploded into the most amazing orgasm I had seen her have. Her heels dug into my back but I didn’t stop any of my stimulating movements until she said, “Stop, stop. I have to breathe.” 

I had noted that she was gasping for air, but I also knew that she enjoyed pushing her limits. I wasn’t going to stop until she cried, “Uncle.”  I stood with her legs resting on my torso while my hard cock waited patiently for her to equalize her sensory receptors. I placed my Reiki hands on Luna’s abdomen to calm down her body and emotions.

When I sensed that she was ready, I slid my hard shaft inside her warmth and breathed in the rush of good feelings. I leaned forward to massage Luna’s attractive breasts while my dick slid slowly in and out. I was not in a rush but my cock was already overstimulated and I knew that my orgasm would come sooner than I might have desired. I chose to maintain my slow rhythmic thrusts without stopping. She was so beautiful and I was really in love with her.

I loved the way that our bodies merged in this act of sexual congress. Separate from the emotions that we created, our bodies meshed physically like a well-oiled machine. We knew how to arouse each other without having to think about it. Her pussy squeezed firmly against the hardness of my shaft and the head of my cock expanded in response. Perhaps that swelling stimulated Luna’s G spot and she squeezed fully against all of me as she orgasmed onto my dick. Her mouth opened wide but no sound escaped. Her pussy pressure might have expelled me but instead it brought me to my orgasm as well. My body tightened and contorted while my breath stayed within my chest until a huge exhale signaled the conclusion of my fluid release. “Woah, that was amazing,” came the words from both of us simultaneously. Laughter was the natural response to this situation and my cock could no longer remain inside her beautiful body. I leaned against Luna and kissed her with all my heart. “I love you,” slipped easily from my lips to hers. “I love you too,” came the soft, meaningful reply.

We remained in that embrace of love looking into each other’s eyes and souls. There was no doubt in either of us that we were deeply in love and connected in mysterious ways. The universe had brought us together, but we had both been open enough not to get in the way of coming together in this marvelous experience. The future was still unpredictable but we were both comfortable enjoying the moments we had without worrying about what might come next.

I pulled Luna from the table onto my body while she clasped her legs around my waist. I carried her into the bedroom and lay her down in the place where we would sleep. I pulled the covers over us and spooned up behind her with one hand enjoying the flesh of her left breast while my face enjoyed the nape of her neck. Our bodies relaxed into each other and we drifted off into the next day. No dream state could have been better than the reality that we had just lived.

Neither of us awoke or moved until the pale Winter light filtered through the window blind onto the bed where we lay. Luna was so used to being awake in the early morning that her body rustled first in response to the stimulus. She laughed lightly when she felt my hard morning cock pressing against her smooth ass. My little head was reaching out for attention and she was not going to be shy about responding. Her small smooth hand stroked my foreskin up and down until I had reached my full potential. I awakened to her sexy touch and soon realized what was taking place. I arched my back to push my member further in her direction.

Luna pushed her ass closer to me and tucked me up against her still wet pussy. It was easy for me to slide inside and enjoy the pleasure of her pussy under the warm covers. Her right hand moved forward to reach between her legs from the front. She stretched to feel my cock sliding in and out of her body. The moisture from Luna’s pussy covered my dick and made a good lubricant for her finger that moved to the clit. I loved when she massaged herself between her legs while I took her pussy from behind. I knew that she would explode with multiple orgasms while I would struggle to have just one. I had been so satisfied with our sexual exploits from the night before that my sperm would not be ready in the morning.

Luna’s breathing increased in intensity as she focused on stimulating her clitoral nerve endings. Her legs and ass tightened and I sensed that the first orgasm of the day was coming to the surface. Her pussy muscles squeezed hard on my shaft but I thrust in deeper to keep my position. There was a gush of warm, comforting fluids surrounding my cock and a long exhale of air came from her mouth. I felt special and protected in her space.

When she finished squeezing me and relaxed a bit, I returned to sliding in and out of her even warmer pussy. I pushed hard against Luna’s ass to get as deep as I could and held onto her attractive waist to stay in place. The mattress was thick and solid and easily supported our actions without making any sounds or movements. Even though she was no longer able to have children, this felt to me like we were making a baby. We were creating something for the future, a new life of love and connection.

Without warning a second wave of orgasm shook her body and pushed out my dick. She was writhing so much that I couldn’t quickly regain entry but I still held onto Luna’s waist enjoying her pleasure. When she regained her breath, Luna maneuvered herself back onto my waiting cock. She nestled her ass into place and seemed focused on an orgasm for me since she no longer played with her clit. She lunged her body back onto me with a sensuality that stimulated my mind and my body. I felt new sensations in my shaft and testicles and understood that she wanted to give me as much pleasure as she could.

I flipped her flat onto the bed and moved myself into a plank position over her body. She was so moist and open that my cock easily entered her body. I plunged in and out with speed and force like doing sexual pushups. My arms tightened along with my core and the veins on my shaft swelled to the maximum. Luna moaned in response to the swelling and I felt the stirrings of my orgasm which lent confidence to my new thinking that I could cum. Luna squeezed her ass but not her pussy to give my entry easy access but stimulate my cock at the same time. I arched my back and pushed in hard and deep as I felt the squirts of morning orgasm rush from my body to hers.

I had used all of my energy in sexual pursuit and had none left to support my relaxing body. I lay down on top of Luna and used one arm to reduce the pressure of my weight. I knew how much I enjoyed the feeling of a man resting on me after he came in my ass and I sensed that Luna wanted that as well. I breathed heavily into the back of her neck and kissed that same spot softly when I was able. As my softening cock slipped from Luna’s pussy I moved to the side and pulled her into the same spooning position we had used for sleeping. I luxuriated relishing the moments that she was naked with me in my warm bed with the morning light shining upon us. It was a scene of beauty and fulfillment blessed by the universe as a gift of love. We drifted off again into the warm pleasures of each other’s bodies.

I awoke with a start when I felt her slip away from my arms and head to the bathroom. She closed the door signaling privacy and I remained under the covers feeling her warmth lingering where she had been. When Luna returned, it was my turn for some bathroom privacy with the door closed. We were still young in our relationship and worked not to offend the other.

When I returned to the bedroom, she lay peacefully smiling back at me with love and happiness beaming from her attractive face. Luna’s hair was no longer perfect but I never asked her to be perfect and loved her however she was. I just wanted to be with her and know her better.

“I’ll bring up some tea,” I offered in my host role. I kissed her on the lips that had been red with lipstick not so long ago. As I descended the stairs to the living room, the sunlight filled the room with light and joy. Luna didn’t have to go to school today and we could enjoy a leisurely morning. I made coffee for me and one of the special teas for Luna. Steam escaped from the large mugs and left a trail behind me as I returned to the bedroom.

Luna had curled herself into a cocoon, but sat up when she heard me enter the room. She tucked pillows behind her naked body and pulled the comforter up to her chest to keep in the warmth while she accepted the steaming cup of tea. I took a similar position next to her with my coffee in hand. We both exhaled deeply and relaxed in the closeness and ease of being with each other.

It felt as though I had known her longer than three months, but that was the full length of our history. We hadn’t even had two nights in a row because she was so busy. I didn’t resent that, but wanted more even though I understood that more was not an option.

It was no surprise when she informed me that she would be spending most of Christmas week with her children. I would have a few days with my children in Massachusetts so Christmas would be delayed for us. The good news was that she could join me for my annual New Year’s Eve party and sleep with me on the first day of the new year. I was always happy to have a mark on my calendar for when I would be with her again. I much preferred that to living with the unknown and just waiting for her schedule to open up.

When Luna’s stomach noises signaled hunger, I offered to make blueberry pancakes from New Jersey berries I had frozen when they were in season in July. Luna was not big on sweets and these pancakes took their sweetness from the large berries and real maple syrup from upstate New York. We put on some comfortable clothes and descended to the kitchen to refresh our warm beverages and make the pancakes.

Because we had lingered in bed it was almost 11 AM which was my usual breakfast time. Before long we were sitting at the kitchen table stuffing our faces with the delicious berry cakes. They were so good that we left nothing behind including any small crumbs.

I didn’t want our time to end and offered to make another fire, but Luna declared that she had to take advantage of the time when the children were in school to get some shopping done and hide presents in her house where they wouldn’t think to look. They were all intelligent children and good detectives so she had to be creative with her hiding spots. I did my best to be supportive, but I knew that I would miss her the moment she walked out the door.

I pushed Luna onto the soft sofa and kissed her passionately while my hands held her close to my body. “You know your cock has nothing left to give,” she laughed at me. “I know. I know, but I don’t want to let you go.” “It won’t be long until New Year’s Eve and we’ll both be busy with families.”  I kissed her once more and lifted my body. I used both arms to pull her back into a standing position indicating my acceptance of what had to be.

She gathered her things from upstairs and put on her coat and shoes at the door. Luna kissed me softly on the lips and said, “I love you.” “I love you too.”  She turned and took some of the sunlight with her. I crumpled into the soft sofa and felt sadness at the departure, but I didn’t want that to be my feeling and so I shifted my mind to recall the amazing events of the night before. I had taken great pleasure from Luna’s company and her body. The smiles and declarations of love nurtured my happiness and I would now look forward to New Year’s Eve.
