Chapter 39

She looked at him with passion filled eyes and wondered where this man had been all her life, but she was certainly glad that he was in it now. When she could at last speak, she said to him, "You are amazing AJ!"

"I think you're pretty amazing yourself, my dear!" he grinned and gave her a light kiss on the tip of her nose.

A short time later they rose from the bed and began to dress before going to eat, AJ felt the extra condoms in his pants pocket from the boxes he had left in the Escalade, he had been thinking that it would be a good idea to just leave some here at Miranda's. Pulling them out of his pocket, he grinned at her and said, "Would it be okay with you if I leave a few of these here for times like this?"

"Sure!" she smiled back at him, glad that he was thinking into the future for them.

Reaching for the handle of the bedside drawer, AJ said, "I'll just put them in here then."

Miranda exclaimed, "No, AJ, not there!" as he pulled the drawer open and it was too late to stop him from seeing what it contained.

There was a moment of stunned silence as AJ took in the sight of the drawer's contents and then he turned to look at Miranda. She was blushing furiously and more embarrassed than she had ever remembered being in her life. "I tried to stop you…." she said.

"Why would you be embarrassed by this Miranda?" he asked sincerely. "A woman has needs just like a man and you had already told me that you and Tom had talked about releasing sexual tensions together. When you said you hadn't, or couldn't, then there would have to be a way for you to do this on your own. Please don't be embarrassed because I know you have pleasured yourself. In fact, some time in the future I would like to watch you do just that…"

"Oh AJ you can't mean that! I couldn't….that's just so….so…."

"Intimate?" he asked trying to help her finish the sentence.

"Yes," she blushed again.

"And what we have together now isn't?" he questioned.

"Yes it is, but that's different. What you're asking me to do is to play with myself with my toys in front of you!"

"And I can't imagine a greater turn on than that. God, it's getting me hard just thinking about it," he tossed the condoms into the drawer and then drew her into his arms and pulled her close enough that she could feel his arousal.

"Why would that turn you on?" Miranda asked trying to overcome her uncomfortableness at the topic.

"Because, you would be doing it for me as well as yourself. You would be showing me what pleases you the most and I would be able to love you better knowing those things."

"You really mean this don't you?" she asked incredulously.

"Yes, I do. I'd love to watch you with your toys some time, but if you don't feel comfortable enough with me for that yet, I can understand. I'll just keep hoping that maybe someday you will feel ready for that."

"Oh AJ! You don't know that I already feel that I can share anything with you, so I will promise that someday soon we will do this together."

"Whenever you're ready and not before," he told her, kissing her forehead as she leaned into his arms. "Now how about dinner? I don't know about you, but I worked up quite an appetite."

Grinning, she replied, "I hope you like fajitas. That's what I was going to make."

"I don't think I've ever tried them, but I'm always open to new things," he told her with a wink that caused her to blush again at the sexual implications.

"You rat!" she exclaimed and left his arms to head for the kitchen. Laughing, he followed her.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I have all the ingredients chopped up and ready to cook. You just need to let me know what you like or don't. I have green peppers, onions, mushrooms, garlic, and chicken or beef or both."

"It all sounds good and as I said I'm pretty hungry so how about one of each?"
