"Well…That was fascinating." Sheldon breathed, as Amy grabbed some tissues to clean up the mess.
Sheldon put on a fresh pair of underpants and grimaced.
"So…Will actual coitus be better than that?" He asked.
"Well, I'm still a virgin too, so I wouldn't know, but my guess would be yes." Amy replied.
Sheldon nodded.
"Well, dry sex was very good." He said. "Provided that we can get any mess cleaned up after we engage in coitus, I think I could maybe…" He took a deep breath, "I think that we could try."
Amy stared at him in shock, as she discarded the tissues and washed her hands.
"Is that the post-dry-coital comedown talking, or do you really mean that?" She asked, quietly.
"I really mean it." He replied, swallowing hard. "But not right now…I don't think I can perform again for a while, if the articles on the internet are telling the truth."
Amy continued to stare at him in shock. Taken over by both love and passion, she lunged in to kiss him.
"Thank you Sheldon. Please don't feel like I'm pressuring you." She said after breaking away.
"I don't." He replied softly. "I should have done this a long time ago."
Amy smiled.
"Would it be considered rude to ask about my performance?" Sheldon asked.
"Not at all. You were…Well, you learn fast, that's for sure!" Amy grinned. "I think the evidence spoke for itself."
Sheldon cleared his throat awkwardly. "Ahem…Yes, well…Does that mean that I will be good at the actual coitus too?"
"Oh I should think so!" Amy nodded vigorously.
"Interesting…" Sheldon frowned. "So, the fact that I released was a good thing, correct?"
"Yes."
"Then your performance was astounding."
Amy raised her eyebrows. "Really?" She asked, before taking a sip of her bottled water.
"Yes. I never thought I would enjoy something so sexual and touchy-feely so much, but surprisingly I did." Sheldon clarified. "I guess that means I'm ready."
Amy projectile-sprayed her drink out in shock and coughed a little.
Sheldon stared at her, before proceeding to pat her on the back.
"Sorry." Amy croaked. "When you say 'ready'…What exactly do you mean?"
"I thought it would have been obvious what I meant after what we just did." Sheldon replied.
"You mean…You want to sleep with me?" Amy asked.
"I will be sharing a bed with you for five months, so I'll already be sleeping with you. I meant intercourse." Sheldon said, holding Amy's gaze steadily.
"Hoo." She squeaked. "Wow…You're full of surprises tonight."
"If you'd rather wait, I'm happy to do that."
"No! No, I've waited three years for this, Sheldon. I'm ready when you are."
Sheldon gave a small, satisfied smile. "Alright then." He checked his watch. "It's very early morning. We should really get some sleep. May I use your bathroom to get ready?"
"Of course." Amy gestured to one of the doors.
Sheldon picked up his bag and took it into the door, passing a small kitchen as he went.
"Oh, you have a fully-equipped kitchen!" He commented.
"Yes, but it needs stocking up with food. So I'll be having room service delivered later this morning until I get some food in." Amy replied.
"We could go to the stores together later in the day with Penny before she flies home." Sheldon suggested. "That will also give us a chance to stock up on necessities. Will you inform the hotel staff that I am staying with you, or shall I?"
"I'll tell them tomorrow. They did say that neither the university nor I would be charged for an extra guest, should one come to stay with me." Amy replied.
"How considerate." Sheldon said.
"Hey! Hang on Sheldon, what did you mean by 'necessities'?" Amy called out.
"You know…Extra clothes, underwear, everyday household items such as washing up liquid, toothpaste, soap…Oh and condoms." He said, before shutting himself in the bathroom.
Amy blinked.
This was really going to happen!
She grinned to herself and snuggled down into the covers.
Minutes later, Sheldon re-joined her and slipped into the other side of the bed.
"Plenty of room between us." He said.
Amy's face fell a little.
"Oh, I didn't mean it like that!" Sheldon protested, seeing her expression. "I meant in case we move around in our sleep."
"Okay, good. You worried me for a minute there." Amy laughed nervously.
"Well, goodnight." Sheldon smiled to her.
Amy held his gaze, expectantly.
"What?" He asked.
"Don't I get a goodnight kiss?" Amy requested.
"Oh. Of course!" Sheldon leaned over to kiss her gently on the lips. "Goodnight Amy."
"Goodnight Sheldon…And um…Thank you for coming all this way to tell me that you love me, and for everything that's happened tonight." Amy said, softly.
"You're welcome. I'm glad I didn't just let you go." He replied, before snuggling down into the pillows and closing his eyes.
Amy smiled at him. "So am I."
