Mornings Unseen

The bedroom was bathed in the soft, golden glow of morning light filtering through the half-drawn curtains. James was already awake, listening to the gentle rhythm of Sara's breathing next to him, her body curled under the light duvet. He pressed a kiss to her bare shoulder, enjoying the way her skin felt warm from the sun's first rays.

He shifted closer, his hand tracing the curve of her hip before slipping under the sheets. Sara stirred, lids fluttering open as she turned towards him, a soft smile playing on her lips. She leaned in, meeting his mouth with hers in a slow, lingering kiss, her fingers brushing through his hair. James savored the taste of her, the perfect blend of sleep and sweetness, as he let his hands wander down her back.

"How about we try something different today?" James murmured against her lips, his voice still husky from sleep. Sara's eyebrows lifted in curiosity. He reached over, pulling a silk tie from the bedside drawer, an impish glint in his eyes. With a playful nod, she allowed him to slip it over her eyes, soft and cool against her skin. The anticipation hummed between them as he tied it gently behind her head.

James began with teasing touches, his fingertips skimming lightly across her body. The blindfold heightened her senses, every touch electric against her skin. He took his time, moving lower, until his mouth was on her, his tongue warm and insistent. She gasped, hips arching involuntarily, every nerve ending alight with the sensation. It was slow and maddening, her pleasure building, edged ever so slightly as he deftly alternated his tempo, bringing her close and then easing away.
