that he couldn’t feel her excitement.
“What did you
have in mind then?” She asked, trying for a casual tone.
“Well, look
around.” He waved his free hand to indicate the other passengers. “Everyone is
asleep or watching their movies or working. No one is interested in us. So, why
don’t we cuddle a bit?”
“Cuddle?” She
asked, completely dumbstruck. She’d acquiesced to anonymous public sex and he
wanted to snuggle? This wasn’t going according to plan at all. She’d been
clear, hadn’t she? Evidently not.
With an amused
glint in his eyes, Sam reached over her and grabbed the blanket he’d requested
earlier from the flight attendant. “You look cold, Honey,” he said loudly for
the benefit of the retired couple sitting in front of them. “Why don’t we get
you warmed up?” With a devilish look he reclined his seat back as far as it
would go, tucked the armrest away and beckoned her closer. Unsure of herself
but intrigued, Mona inched closer until she was leaning over him with their
legs entangled and her breasts resting against his ribs. He began arranging the
soft fleece blanket over their bodies, completely obscuring them from prying
eyes.
She glanced
around nervously but the couple in front of them seemed oblivious to their
activities. Mona wasn’t sure what to expect next but it certainly wasn’t Sam’s
big arms wrapped innocently around her waist as he pulled her even closer to
his warm side. Was he serious? They were really going to cuddle? In her touch-deprived
world she’d hugged her friends and held hands with the few men she’d briefly dated
but holding someone for an extended period of time just for the pleasure of
being close to them was an alien concept to her. She’d been contemplating dirty
sex with a stranger, not this oddly sweet and erotic interchange of intimacies.
“Relax,” Sam
whispered, bringing up one large hand he smoothed his fingers over her hair and
pressed a soft kiss against her temple. “You’re as stiff as a board. Just go
limp and let me touch you. Okay?”
Mona tried.
She really did but this didn’t come easily to her. She felt like she should be
doing something. Not just lying half on top of him like a horny rag doll. But
she had no idea what to do with her hands or her lips or any of her body parts.
She knew the mechanics of sex but foreplay she’d assumed would take care of
itself. Of course it would be just her luck to be trying to seduce the only man
in the world who liked to cuddle before sex.
After a few
awkward moments she did as he asked and allowed her body to relax into him. To
her surprise, he felt quite wonderful, so warm and firm against her curves.
Masculine bodies were a mystery to her, so hard and unyielding compared to her
own softness. Unable to help herself, she smoothed one of her hands over his
chest, marveling at the way his flesh flexed and twitched under her fingers.
Fascinated, she traced the contours of his pectoral muscles with one fingertip.
His masculine grunt of approval when she accidentally brushed one of his nipples
completely unnerved her. He seemed to like her touch but she had no idea what
to do next, so she withdrew her marauding hand and tucked it against his side.
She tried to get
more comfortable by sliding one of her bare legs up his thigh. What she hadn’t
counted on was that this slight adjustment would bring his hard thigh in direct
contact with the moist heat between her legs. Embarrassed at her own arousal
she started to slide her limbs back into a slightly less provocative position,
but he stopped her with one large hand. “Where do you think you’re going? Get
back here,” Sam said, his voice a playful rumble against the top of her head. He
hooked his fingers around the back of her knee and slid her leg even higher
until she was wide open against him.
Mona had to
fight the urge to push away from him. She was practically straddling him now.
Suddenly this all seemed much too fast. But she
