Eventually, she pushed back a bit so they could communicate. I don’t know why I was crying.

Dustin gave her a soft kiss on the lips. It doesn’t matter. He kissed along her cheeks again. You were gorgeous. Thank you for trusting me with that. And I think it’s time to go to bed, now.

He maneuvered them both into standing, and then led Lena to the bathroom. He slowly stripped off the two scraps of fabric, now sweaty and crusted with cum, and hung them over the edge of the bathtub since he wasn’t sure how to clean them. Then, he wiped her down with a warm washcloth, and got a second one to clean the tears and makeup from her face.

She was pliant in his arms, letting him take care of her. It made his heart swell.

He gave her a moment alone to finish up, and then led her to the bed. When she was all tucked in, he kissed her forehead. As he stepped back, one of her arms shot out to grab his wrist. He stopped.

Are you leaving? She looked like she was trying to put on a brave face, that terrible mask she had of being strong and flirty. Like the answer didn’t matter.

He knew that his erection was poking against her thigh, but it wasn’t important right now.

Go to sleep. I’ll be here in the morning.

She nodded and nuzzled into his chest.

His arm was a little pinched and his cock throbbed uncomfortably, but he was happier than he’d been in a long time.

Now, he just had to hope that it meant something to her, too.
