Part 38
They were exhausted. And Lisa hated it.
She wanted to go forever with him. To feel the deeply intense pleasure. To feel the love that erupted inside her every time she came with him and for him, before and after. She wanted him inside her for the rest of her life. To kiss and touch him, to lay atop him as she was now, her front to his back.
Eyes closed, she was listening to his heartbeat and breaths. He wasn't asleep but he would be soon.
Shifting, Lisa kissed the top of his spine, then the back of his neck. Her hands were resting on his wrists, her legs falling to either side of his. She loved when he was between them, no matter how he was between them.
Brushing her lips against his shoulder, she confessed softly, "I don't want to go to sleep."
"Law of nature, Cuddy. You have to," he said and his voice rumbled from his body into hers, making her shiver. "But I'll be up for you again. Frequently. Promise."
Lisa smiled. "I like that you call me that. But I don't know why."
Chin propped on his shoulder, she saw him smile. His eyes were closed.
"Because no one else ever has," he mumbled then told her to go to sleep.
"Can I sleep like this?" she asked, not really wanting to move.
"Sure," he said. "But I'm dumping you off if nature calls."
Lisa kissed his shoulder again and lay her head down to get comfortable. "Just don't roll over."
"The size of your ass would preclude that occurring without conscious effort."
Her old insecurity about the size of her behind reared its head at his words. Did he really think…
"You think it's too big?" she asked and heard her timidity. She knew he wouldn't miss it.
"Cuddy, your ass is perfect," he stated in a way that gave her no choice but to believe him. Then he said, "Whoever told you otherwise is an idiot. And if it was one of those fumbling teen-agers then they are double the idiot."
Lisa sighed and snuggled closer to him, feeling better.
"Okay," she said and let the contented warmth of him lull her to sleep.
