Chapter 40 - Chapter 39

I never thought I would have this again, waking up with one arm flung across Naledi's hip, our naked bodies spooned together in bed. Early morning sun glares through the blinds we forgot to close in our haste to have each other. The worst part is that I could get used to this ... again. Not just the sex, though. Yoh. It has to be said. The sex is better than it's ever been, and that's saying something, because it used to be fantastic. Is it the illicit nature of this that makes it feel so incredible?

Or is it just that good?

That addictive thing that used to draw us together is back with a vengeance and making up for lost time. There's a hook in every kiss and I've stopped trying to get loose.

But last night was the best so far. Sphe is camping with Jamal's family. Zinhle slept over at Nadia's. Being sneaky about it, I parked inside the garage and spent the night. We weren't rushed and could take our time, and not just with the wild sex. We made a meal together. Opened a bottle of Chenin. Talked over dinner lit by candles. It felt like a date, and that is treacherous behaviour I need to check.
