The first night she got into bed with Kendis, he just lay there and looked at her, smiling. Then he reached over and pulled her over close and kissed her gently. He caressed her face and held her.
They talked about what he had done that day because, as she explained to him, she had done nothing.
He told her a story from when he was a child, she told him about the day her father brought Tally to live with them. She snuggled close to him and fell asleep listening to the beat of his heart.
The second night, he kissed her a little more passionately and pulled her into his arms. She shivered.
“What’s wrong, love,” he asked, teasingly kissing her ear. “Cold?”
She shivered again. “No, I’m actually very warm.” she looked up at him worriedly. “Kendis, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do when we…you know…”
He quit nibbling on her ear and looked at her. He thought back to his first sexual experience. He had been fourteen, just out of training at Nuisance Apprehenders Inc., and at his first work camp. He hadn’t been afraid - in fact he had been very eager - but, he hadn’t been real sure what to do either.
However, the female he had been with was a couple of years older and very experienced and did know, and she had taught him some things over the course of that first night and the next couple of months, until they had, amicably, gone their separate ways.
The thing was, he had never had occasion to be with an inexperienced woman and he sure didn’t want to mess this up. He knew he would have to take it slow.
“Don’t worry, Love, I’ll teach you,” he murmured. “There are some things we can do without actually consummating our relationship. Why don’t I show you a few of those first?” He grinned down at her puzzled look.
