And that was if Martha and Mrs. Benson didn't come home to see my panties and slip and dress on display in front of the fireplace and Martha's nightgown crumpled on the floor. Why, if they walked in at that moment, they'd see me in Bruce's arms, naked as the day I was born, my hair tousled and faint purple marks on my hips, dried arousal staining my thighs. That would be a scandal. That would be the kind of story that would completely ruin my reputation. My parents might not even let me come home if a story like that got out, and I'd be homeless, with nowhere to go and no one to turn to just two weeks before Christmas.
Well, maybe. I had a feeling I could turn to Bruce. I had a feeling that Bruce might be my Christmas present, a gift from the universe to me.
Still, life would likely be much easier if I wasn't discovered naked in the Bensons' living room with the evidence of our lovemaking still written across my face and body. Hero or not, my father wouldn't be overly impressed with Bruce. He might even be angry, he might even yell or scream or threaten him. My mom would cry. Donna would be livid, I was certain.
It should have frightened me, but I was comfortable, and Bruce's arms felt so nice around me.
"Well, fuck what people think," I murmured, and closed my eyes again as he started to laugh.

Anonymousabout 1 month agoSoulful Healing of two wounded hearts. Great suffering and magical eroticism, that also implies Kismet. Cynicism, and crippling shame, but for the timely physical rescue of the innocent damsel in distress.
Anonymous5 months agoPlease tell me that there is MORE ! Your writing put me in the house with them. It was awesome and so absolutely believable ! I want a HAPPY ending. One of the best stories that I have read on LITEROTICA. You really are very talented. Best wishes for a long writing career ! 5 stars.
Wetmartinisover 1 year agoI really like the story. It is a simple story - no convoluted plotlines, no complications. But that simplicity hides (and underlines) the writing, the unfolding of the innermost thoughts and feelings of the two. I am a litteratur too young for the era (by about a decade), and from a different society, but it still resonated with me. Thank you.
SeaReaderover 1 year agoCheryl, I just love your writing! Rich characters, held back by, then overcoming their foibles and the roadblocks that the world throws at them, broken souls finding each other..., you weave it all together with dialog so realistic that we think we're in the room with them.
Please keep writing and sharing. And thank you for the support you give to other writers, which adds better material to the pool of stories we read here.
I'm always sorry to come to the end of one of your stories, but I know that if the were as long as I wanted, I'd never get up, eat, or sleep; I just want to live in your universe. Thankfully, your writing is so seductive and well fleshed out, thar rereading is also a pleasure. Thank you for all of the voyages you've provided thus far.
Safe, and many more travels to you.
