Meri found herself alone again as she undressed and sat on the end of the examining table. She had decided to allow the doctor to fit her with an IUD. It seemed to be the best birth control option with the least amount of side effects. She lay back on the table and spread her legs wide to allow the doctor access to her vagina and uterus. She felt a sudden sharp pain when the doctor used an instrument to open the mouth of her uterus wide enough to put the IUD in place. The procedure was soon over and she was on her way back to the dorm. She could not get over this empty feeling that she had been going through ever since the accident. She had agreed to go out with Daniel on Friday night. Her feelings for him had not really changed. She loved him, wanted to be in his bed, and wanted to feel that passion that only he could give her. But she was having trouble getting beyond the loss of her baby.
When Daniel picked her up on Friday evening, he suggested they find a private place where they could eat and have a talk. It troubled him that they had lost the closeness that had been developing before the accident. He wanted her to understand that the accident was just that, an accident. While they were waiting on their meal, Meri noticed that Daniel was being very sweet. He tried to engage her in conversation and take her mind off the loss that she was feeling. He felt a glimmer of hope when she told him that she had seen a doctor for birth control.
After their meal Meri agreed to go back to the apartment with Daniel. She knew what would happen, but she had to see if she could still feel the passion that she once had for him. When they entered the apartment Daniel took Meri’s jacket and placed it across the back of a chair. He was on fire for her and took the chance of leading her down the hallway toward his bedroom. He felt relief when she did not resist.
Once they reached the bedroom Daniel placed his arms around Meri and kissed her deeply. She could feel that familiar fire began to build deep within her stomach. She didn’t resist when he started removing her clothing. To her it felt good to just forget about the reality for a while and enjoy the pleasure Daniel could provide her body. When she was completely naked she lay on her back across the bed. She watched in silence while Daniel divested himself of his clothing. She saw that his manhood was already fully engorged. She remembered how full she felt when she had taken it inside her body.
Daniel was trying to take his time. He wanted to make Meri remember the passion that the two of them shared. He knew that right now things were strained between them, and he hoped to rectify that situation tonight. He planned to take her to ever higher places that she had been before. He had remembered how much she had enjoyed the vibrator. Perhaps tonight he would take a different approach. He began slowly worshipping her body with his tongue. He nipped at her breasts while his fingers worked their magic between her thighs. He inserted one finger inside her while his thumb began working on her clitoris. She knew that she was lost in desire, and she intended to make the most of it.
Daniel kneeled between her wide-spread thighs to work his magic with his warm mouth and hot tongue. He would tease Meri almost to the point of release before stopping and allowing her ardor to cool a little. He wanted to take as long as possible. He wanted Meri to experience passion unlike any she had experienced before. He continued in this matter for several minutes, taking her almost to the brink, and then withdrawing.
Soon Daniel turned Meri over on her stomach and started once again driving her body crazy with his mouth. He kissed back and told her to close her eyes and enjoy. She felt something cool pour across her skin. Then Daniel began gently rubbing some type of oil into her skin. His fingers felt wonderful as the gently massaged her back and slowly moved lower. Meri could feel a slight tingling as Daniel worked the fragrant oil into her skin. She felt him pick up her hips and he reached for a pillow that he placed under her stomach. This allowed him better access to her womanhood. She felt his fingers separate her lips and spread the oil all over the outside of her womanhood. She then felt his fingers as they entered her, taking that tingling oil all the way inside her.
Meri didn’t think she could stand any more. She was on fire between her legs where Daniel had rubbed in the oil. She started to beg him to give her relief.
“Please,” Meri said. “Please, I can’t stand much more without some relief.”
Daniel spread her legs as wide as he could while lifting her hips to allow him a good view. He gently placed the vibrator inside her and turned it on. Meri started groaning with pleasure when she felt that gentle vibration go to work both inside and outside of her. The heat from the oil was adding to the pressure she was feeling for release. Daniel was moving the vibrator in and out, watching Meri’s womanly canal start to convulse around it. He switched it on high and for Meri all thought was lost. Her entire body was one passionate sensation after another. She had never felt such enormous pleasure. She heard herself begging Daniel to not stop.
“Please, I want you inside me,” Meri said. “I want to feel your cock inside of me. Please, put it in right now.”
Daniel withdrew the vibrator and rammed his hard cock as deep inside Meri as he could possibly go. She was hot and ready, and he knew that neither of them would last long. He began pounding hard into her. He pulled open her hips in an attempt to get deeper. He could feel the warmth of the oil as his rhythm increased. Soon he felt her canal start to convulse. He pounded as hard and as fast as he possibly could as the two of them exploded in midair. He spilled his hot seed deep inside her while her juices flowed from her and dripped onto the bed.
When Meri returned to classes on Monday, she reflected back on the weekend. Daniel had complete power over her body, but the pain of the lost pregnancy was still in her mind. She wished that she could let go of the doubts that she had about Daniel causing the accident. Somewhere deep inside of her she could not possibly believe that Daniel would do something so sinister, but she was having a hard time trusting him again.
Soon Daniel and Meri were facing a problem of a totally different kind. Their parents wanted to get the entire family together for Christmas dinner. The thought sent shock waves through Meri. How would she sit through dinner with Daniel at the table and act like they were basically strangers? The last time she was home she had been a virgin. Surely her mother could look at her and tell that was no longer the case.
Daniel was feeling some of the same fears as Meri. After getting off the phone with his father he wondered how he could possibly be under the same roof with Meri and not touch her. He had absolutely no control over his manhood where Meri is concerned. How could they possibly sit through dinner without either of their parents picking up on something?
Chapter 7
Christmas was strained, at best. They arrived separately and acted like they hadn’t seen each other since the Florida vacation. Harold looked at Meri and asked her if she remembered his son. Boy, if he only knew!
Amanda told Meri they had left her room as it was when she left for college. She told Daniel that his room was located at the end of the hall next to the upstairs bath. Amanda asked Meri to show Daniel where his room was when she took her bags upstairs. Daniel was thinking that he could not possibly have Meri and a bed in such close proximity without making love to her.
When Meri took her bags to her room, Daniel followed with his. At the top of the stairs she directed him to his room and the end of the hall.
“How are you doing,” Daniel asked.
“Probably about as well as you are, but we must not allow our parents to suspect anything,” Meri said.
Meri went directly to her room and looked around. Her mother had left it exactly as it was when she was home. Somehow it now seemed like a room for a little girl. There was nothing in the room that belied the passion she had experienced since the last time she was here. She placed her bags on the bed and opened one to find her red sweater that she planned to wear for dinner. She threw it over her shoulder and went back downstairs to see if there was anything she could do to help her mother.
Amanda wanted to hear all about college.
They were seated around the table enjoying an elaborate Christmas dinner and so far Meri and Daniel had avoided any slip ups.
“So how are you doing in your classes,” Amanda asked.
“I’m keeping my grades up,” Meri said. “My roommate is Anna and we get along great. We both joined the student participation program and we have been able to make a little extra money by being guinea pigs for the medical students.”
“Oh really,” Amanda said. “What types of tests have you volunteered for?”
Meri blushed. She knew that she could never tell the whole family about her and Anna volunteering for the pelvic exams. Daniel would likely have a cow. Instead, she told her mother they had given blood, had ultrasounds, allowed the students to place casts on various parts of their body, and do ekg’s.
“Well tell me, have you met any young men while you have been in college,” Amanda asked.
Daniel just about got choked. He was coughing and sputtering about something going down the wrong pipe while Meri was trying to figure out how to answer that question.
“Actually, I have spent the majority of my time on my studies,” Meri said. “I know that when I start in my medical classes I will have to work even harder. I have managed to get out with Anna a few times, but I mostly stay close to the dorm.”
Meri found herself lying with the best of them. She did actually stay fairly close to the dorm, but she neglected to tell them that Daniel’s apartment was not far from her dorm. She dared a glance at Daniel who was still trying to compose himself after his coughing spell.
Daniel soon joined Meri in the lies when his father asked him if he had been riding lately. Meri felt a swift pain in her chest when Harold mentioned the bike. Daniel told his father the bike was currently in the shop getting a tune up and new tires. At least part of that statement was true.
Meri was desperate to change the subject. If things kept going as they were, either she or Daniel would screw up and say something wrong. She asked her mom how things were going with her job.
When the long dinner was finally over, Meri told her mom she would help her clean everything up. Amanda insisted that she could do it later, but Meri was not going to be put off. She started toward the kitchen with an armful of dishes that she placed in the dishwasher.
The evening went on with Amanda and Harold giving each of them a gift. Meri held up a blue chiffon blouse that had delicate embroidery on one pocket. Daniel’s father presented him with a handmade billfold with an engraved picture of the Harley on it. After setting around the tree and chit chatting about school and Daniel’s job as investigator, it was finally time to go to bed. Meri could not wait to get into her bedroom and close the door. It was disconcerting to be this close to Daniel and not be able to acknowledge their relationship.
The following morning they enjoyed a homemade breakfast of sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, homemade biscuits, and gravy. Meri couldn’t wait to get out of the house and head back toward Memphis. She knew if she stayed here much longer something would slip and their parents might get suspicious.
After breakfast Daniel told them he needed to get on the road. He had to return to work the following morning. Amanda tried to talk Meri into staying a few days since classes did not start up until after the first of the year. Meri told her that she was going to take this time to get in some extra studying, and she and Anna had plans for the New Year. She failed to mention the fact that those plans were not the two of them together.
It was a relief to see the dorm. Meri let out a sigh of relief that the strain of the Christmas with family dinner was over. She and Daniel had somehow managed to get through it without arousing suspicion. If things had worked out differently, she and Daniel might have been telling their parents about the baby. Instead, she was still dealing with her feelings of doubt where Daniel was concerned. She really wanted to believe him when he told her it was an accident. He said he would never deliberately put her in danger.
With the holidays finally behind her, Meri was ready to get back to her routine. Once she got these classes behind her she would get to start actually studying medical related subjects. She was looking forward to finally getting into what she was there to study. Because her mother had been a nurse, Meri had always had a fascination with medicine.
Daniel continued to see Meri on weekends, but things were just not right. She was still distant after losing the baby. He desperately wanted the passionate innocence back that Meri had when they first met. As hard as he tried, Meri just refused to allow him back in. He had to find a way to win her back. He simply could not picture his life without her.
The trees were starting to put on their leaves and flowers were starting to bud. Spring was rapidly coming to the campus and it was one of Meri’s favorite times of year. It was a time of new birth. Daniel asked Meri to spend her spring break with him. He had arranged to have a week off from work and wanted him and Meri to take a trip to Florida. Meri wasn’t sure if she wanted to spend an entire week with Daniel in a romantic destination. It was Anna who finally convinced her that she should go.
“This is the only man who has ever meant anything to you,” Anna said. “He obviously cares a great deal for you because he refuses to give up. You owe it to yourself to find out if he is the one for you. And who doesn’t want to go to Florida?”
Meri finally gave in and told Daniel she would go. He was ecstatic. He secretly hoped that he could get her to the place where it all started and maybe they can start over. He was grinning from ear to ear when he picked her up early on Saturday morning.
“Don’t forget your sunscreen,” Daniel said. “I plan on keeping the top down for most of the way.”
Meri had figured as much and had made sure to get a fresh tube to keep in her purse.
It was a beautiful morning. The sun was up and the morning air felt refreshing as they hit the road. Daniel wanted to wait until they got out of town before stopping for breakfast. He didn’t want to give Meri time to change her mind. He had some great plans for the week and he was very hopeful that they would be able to get past her doubts.
Meri was starting to relax a little. It felt good to be riding down the road in a convertible and have such a handsome man behind the wheel. She had decided to take Anna’s advice and see if she could get past her doubts. She was looking forward to a week sandy beaches, moonlight strolls, and waking to the smell of the ocean. This time she and Daniel will be able to enjoy the week without the presence of their parents.
The ride down was great, but Meri was glad to finally arrive at their destination. Daniel had rented a condo in the same complex as they had before. This one was not as large, but still beautiful. She walked out on the balcony and took a deep breath. The ocean breeze smelled wonderful. She couldn’t wait to feel her toes in the sand and the water washing it away from beneath her feet.
Daniel came up behind her and put his arms around her. This was the place where his feelings for her began. He planned to sweep her off her feet this week and make it impossible for her to turn him down. She leaned back into him as he kissed her behind her ears before moving down her neck.
“This scene is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you,” Daniel said. “Why don’t we move this inside before we get arrested for inappropriate public display?”
Meri laughed as they went back inside the condo and closed the door behind them. Daniel took her hand and led her to the bedroom. He hadn’t planned to make love to her as soon as they arrived, but where Meri was concerned all reasoning went out the window. She stood still as he slowly started undressing her. Each time he revealed a part of her body he had to stop long enough to kiss it. By the time her last article of clothing hit the floor she was quivering in desire and anticipation. He quickly undressed and led her to the king-size bed.
Daniel stood for just a minute adoring Meri’s body as she lay there looking back at him. He could see desire in her eyes as she lay there waiting for his next move. She didn’t have to wait long. Daniel leaned down
and kissed Meri long and hard. His hands began roaming across her body, leaving a trail of fire everywhere they went. His mouth moved down her body, leaving a trail of hot kisses behind. He pushed her legs apart to allow his mouth access to all of her womanhood. His tongue started teasing her clitoris while his fingers entered deep within her. He looked up to find Meri had raised her head and was watching what he was doing. That simple action set his body on fire.
Meri was already on fire. She wanted to see what Daniel was doing to her so she raised her head as far as she could. She watched as his head dipped between her legs to tease her clitoris. She found that watching what he was doing to her body somehow made it hotter. She knew it would not be long before that building sensation would start between her legs. Once it started, she could do nothing but allow it to take over her body.
