Chapter 38

"What if I promise not to snore too loudly?" AJ asked all broken hearted.

"Can you do that?" Julianna giggled. "I guess while you are confessing that I should tell you sometimes I get frustrated chasing food around my plate with the silverware and have been known to eat with my hands. Will that drive you away?" she looked worried.

"Is ice cream included?" he asked.

"I can usually handle that with a spoon. I was talking more about peas and things that run around your plate without permission!" she grumbled good-naturedly.

Leering at her he replied, "Here I was hoping that you chased your ice cream so I could lick your fingers clean. We all know where that would have lead!"

"Oooo, no, where could that lead?" she asked suddenly breathless.

"Hopefully to us making love to each other," he grinned. "By the time I licked the cold ice cream off your fingers, we'd both be hot with desire."

"I will be right back!" she exclaimed and hurried from the room, leaving a startled AJ behind. She returned just a few seconds later with an ice cream carton in her hands, sitting next to him on the bed she opened it and dipped her fingers in. Scooping up some with her fingers she sighed dramatically, "Now, what ever shall I do? I have ice cream on my fingers and can't get it off!"

Laughing AJ licked each finger slowly and thoroughly, and then he licked her hand paying particular attention to her palm. "Did you know you could get ice cream on other parts of you body, Julianna?" he asked grinning as her breathing had increased and her cheeks were red.

"You mean if I was a really messy eater? Where do you think the ice cream might land, AJ?" she gasped out.

"I'd rather show you than tell you, my heart. Should we put the ice cream back in the freezer until I run down to the drugstore?" he asked licking a small drop of ice cream between her fingers.

"That might be a good idea!" she told him, handing him the carton.

AJ took her key and locked the door behind him. He jogged down the block following her directions, with the idea that the number of steps could be off for him. He found the store quickly and was back at her apartment in twenty minutes. He felt like a kid about to make love for the first time. Unlocking the door and going inside he locked it back, just in case Tom decided to drop by. Hurrying down the hallway after going back to the kitchen to get the ice cream again he found her lying in her bed with the lights off and the covers pulled up to her neck.

"Are you undressed my love?" he asked her softly; at her nod he told her that he would undress too and join her.

"Could I help you do that?" she begged shyly.

"Only if you want to," he said. "May I turn on this light so I can put the ice cream down?"

"Yes, I forget that others need light," she giggled nervously. "I would like to help you, I want to learn your...body...but that means that I have to...umm maybe you should leave the lights off?" she blushed again.

"But, my darling, Julianna, I won't be able to see where to put the ice cream so I can lick it all off," he whispered in a sexy voice. "Just pretend I can't see you if it bothers you so much. I am going to see that luscious body one day, it might as well be now."

"But, AJ, no one has seen me naked since my mother dressed me!"

"But as your husband I will see you naked and it's much easier making love to someone if you can see what you are doing," he said. "Please, my beautiful, Julianna, let me look upon your precious body while I love you."

"So it will be hard for me to make love to you since I can't see?" Now she was worried about that!

"No, my love, you've learned to see by touch and I never did. I never had to I use my hands to see. Do you understand?" he asked.

"Yes, I guess I am just worried that you won't like what you see. After all you have many to compare me too, but you will be my first..." she said slowly pushing the sheet down to reveal that she was naked.
