Morning Glow

The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting warm patches of light across the rumpled sheets of their bedroom. Carter lay beside Simone, the air still crisp from their joined sleeping forms. Carter reached over, pulling her back against his chest, enjoying the skin on skin contact that made mornings his favorite part of the day.

Simone stirred at his touch, smiling when she felt his lips against the back of her neck. Carter's hands traveled over her body, tracing the soft curve of her hip before sliding underneath her thin camisole. He loved the way she felt under his fingertips, the play of muscle and skin. She turned to face him, their eyes meeting for a moment before he captured her mouth in a deep kiss, their tongues meeting with a familiar hunger.

Their kisses grew more urgent, his hands finding her breasts, thumbs teasing her nipples into stiff peaks. Simone let out a soft moan, arching into his touch, her own hands finding the back of his neck, pulling him closer. She shifted, guiding him on top of her, his weight a comforting presence as he ground himself against her, reveling in the heat and pressure that built between them.

Carter's breath was quick as he pulled back slightly, his hand sliding down to part the waistband of her panties, watching her eyes flutter closed when his fingers brushed over her. Her body responded eagerly, and he grinned at the way her hips bucked, a sound of surprise and desire escaping her lips. He hadn't expected this quick spontaneity to be so thrilling.
