Struggle For Control

Alex woke up in the middle of the night, her heart
racing. She had been having a dream,
but now that she was awake, she couldn’t remember a thing about it.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She looked to her right and calmed down.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Hard to be scared when you don’t have to
wake up alone. She stirred under
the covers a bit, inadvertently waking Mort.

His eyes opened slowly as he asked, “Everything
O.K.?”

Alex ran her fingers through his hair.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Bad dream, I think.”

“Can’t remember?”

“Hm mm…”

“Come here.”
Mort lovingly pulled Alex to him so that her head was resting on his
chest. “Better?”

Alex sighed.
“Much.” She remembered what
Karen had told her about waiting. It
had been nearly a month since then and although she hardly wanted to ask him
while he was half asleep, she found the words flowing out of her mouth, unable
to stop them. “Do you like it here?”

Mort snuggled against her a bit deeper.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Mm hm,” he responded, fighting against the
incoming slumber.

“Have you ever thought about, um, maybe…staying
here?”

Mort’s eyes opened very slightly.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Aren’t I doing that now?”

Alex’s voice became noticeably nervous.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Well, yeah, but I…I was wondering if…never
mind.”

Mort was fully awake now. “What’s on your mind?”

Alex positioned herself so she could see Mort’s
face. “I love you,” she said softly.

“I love you too.
Now that that’s cleared up, what were you wondering?”

“Well, you like it here and I…I really like
you being here.” She began to ramble a
bit quickly. “I love not waking up
alone and seeing you first thing in the morning and I love the way you are with
Julia and I love making love to you and I…”

Mort chuckled.
“Slow down, baby. What is all of
this leading up to?” The look in his eyes
told Alex that he already knew.

“Don’t leave,” she whispered.

“As in in the morning – or ever?” he asked with a
smile.

Alex kissed him deeply. “Ever.”

Mort’s face lit up and he sat up in the bed.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “You aren’t sleep committing, are you?”

Alex laughed.
“No, I’m very much awake and aware of…what’s your answer?”

“My answer?”
He kissed Alex with every ounce of emotion in his body.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Clear enough?”

She smiled at him.
“Hm, I don’t know…I think you may need to convince me a little bit
more. I mean, this is a big step, after
all.”

Mort smiled back.
“More convincing, huh?” Alex
kissed his chest, causing him to shiver.
“I can do that.”

Mort gently rolled Alex onto her back.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He slid her nightgown up over her head and
let his hands roam her newly exposed flesh.
His lips graced her neck and traveled to her breasts, while his hands
fingers began to trace down along her curves.
He began to kiss his way down her body, stopping at her navel.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He smiled and pulled away her underwear.

Alex let out a slight growl and rolled over.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Mort looked confused, but was happy enough
when Alex slid his boxers off and straddled him. She kissed him almost roughly as she lowered herself onto
him. Mort heard himself groan at the
contact.

Breathlessly, Mort asked, “And what’s gotten into
you?”

Alex stopped moving for a moment.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “You don’t know how happy you make me.”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She started to move again, her hips
thrusting faster than they were before.
Alex bent down and Mort took the opportunity to change their roles.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Once Alex was on her back, he let wrapped
his arms around her and let a combination of love and lust take over his
body. His thrusts were strong; Alex
wrapped her legs around his waist, clinging to him. She found her release shortly, as did Mort.style="mso-spacerun: yes">

When they had finished, Mort continued to kiss and
caress Alex. He couldn’t remember ever
being happier than he was at that moment – and nobody in his head was taunting
him about it, which only added to his bliss.
He had Alex and Julia - and now he was to share their home.style="mso-spacerun: yes">
