Nick just rolled over onto his back and breathed heavily, saying nothing. Heather took the opportunity to climb off the bed and headed straight to the bathroom. This time he didn’t stop her, for which she was grateful. In the bathroom, she cleaned herself with a wet washcloth while sitting on the toilet. She was sore and felt a little dirty about what she had done, but after a moment’s reflection, she realized she liked the feeling.
Back in the room she slid between the sheets and curled up next to Nick. He wasn’t asleep but he wasn’t fully awake either. “Wanna go one more time?” he asked when she draped her arm over his chest.
“Mm-hmm,” she answered. “Give me a few minutes, okay?”
“Sounds good.”
Before either of them realized it, they drifted off to sleep.
