Sandy woke up and opened her eyes.  There was a scented candle burning on her nightstand.  She wondered who put it there.  She started to raise up; “Ouch,” she moaned and lay back down rolling onto her back.  Francine lay next to her and started to stir as well.  She was lying on her side and opened up her eyes.  Sandy was looking lovingly at her. 

“Wake up baby,” she whispered. 

Francine smiled. “Hey baby, what time is it? How are you,” she asked.

“I’m fine, baby,” Sandy said as she leaned and kissed Francine.  “The clock says 2:00. I can’t believe we did that.  How are you, baby, after our gang bang?”

“I’m ok, I think,” Francine answered.  “I mean, I am sore but it does not hurt as much as I thought it would.”

“Yeah, me too, my stomach is sore, and of course my butt and pussy feel like they’ve been used but not as bad as I feared,” Sandy replied.  “Oh my god, that was amazing!  I don’t think I need to repeat that, but I sure enjoyed it when it was happening.”

“Well, I hope you don’t want to repeat it,” Keith replied as he came into the room.  “How is my girl?”

Sandy’s heart swelled up when she heard Keith. How has this wonderful man been living next to me for all this time and I didn’t know he was such a good guy? She wondered.

He walked to Sandy’s side of the bed and leaned down to kiss her softly.  “How are you feeling baby?  You were sleeping hard!  You both were,” he said looking over at Francine.  “Hey, Franny.”

“Keith, Franny, and I both seem to be ok, thank you for being here; it means so much to me, to us, that you are looking after us,” Sandy told him.

“Yes, thank you, Keith,” Francine echoed.  “Where’s Joe?”

“I told him to get some sleep so he went back over to the house,” Keith answered.  “He’s expecting a call when you two wake; actually he is hoping for one from you, Franny,” Keith said as he smiled wryly.

“Oh my, then I think I will call him,” she said as she stood to find her phone.  Soon after making the call, Francine let Keith and Sandy know that she was going next door.  She walked out of the house and across the driveway naked and entered the house.

Keith sat in the chair he had placed on Sandy’s side of the bed.  He gazed at her with feelings he was not sure he was ready to have again since his divorce.  But there she was.  She is so beautiful, so vibrant, he thought.

Sandy lay on her side smiling at him.  Where did he come from, and why, oh my, why is he looking at me like that? She wondered.

Finally, Keith broke the silence. “Sandy, three days ago we barely spoke, and today, well today I find myself having feelings for you that I had put away in a box deep in my heart.  Please, please tell me what is going on with you.  Tell me what has brought you out with such life and passion.”

Sandy felt warm all over with Keith’s question.  Can this be? She thought. “Well Keith, I don’t know that I can really explain it beyond I just needed to live again.  Steve dying just took so much out of me, you know?  I just felt like I needed to snap out of my mourning.” She told him.  “When I made that decision, my body woke up first, then my spirit woke up, and now…now I think my heart is waking up too.”

Keith smiled.  “Yes baby, I have seen that happen, step by step.  I am most interested in the last part…your heart opening up.  Sandy, do you think your heart has room for me?  I would love to start to, well to get to know you beyond what we’ve had the last two days.  I’d like to see if we could be more,” he said.  “I just don’t know if I can open up that box in my heart again unless you felt at least a little bit the same as I am feeling.”

“Oh Keith, I’d love to explore us,” she said.  “I know I must have seemed like a crazy woman the last two days but it was like my body just took over, and then I had this enormous need to live, I mean really live, you know?  I can’t explain it, but my body must have needed some sex really bad,” she chuckled.  “I never thought that having feelings for you was going to be any part of this.  But it seems you’ve caused my heart to open.”

“I like the sound of that,” Keith said as he stood and moved to Sandy, leaning down and kissing her very passionately.  He lay next to her and took her in his arms.  Kissing her deeply, pushing his tongue into her mouth as his hand caressed her ass, squeezing her cheek softly.

Sandy’s heart, her body, and her mind all went into hyperdrive.  She experienced feelings that had long lay dormant.  Her nipples stood tall and hard and her pussy began to drip from what she was feeling for Keith. It had been so long since she found herself in the rapture of love, but that is what was happening.  She knew that she had moved beyond lust to love, pure untethered love.

Blinking away tears of joy, Sandy moved her hand to Keith’s hardening cock.  She wrapped her fingers around it and gently started to stroke him as their tongues danced.  Keith moaned as she worked to bring him to full hardness.  He broke their kiss and moved to her neck.  Gently he nibbled and kissed her neck.  Sandy moved her head to offer more access to Keith.  He kissed his way up to her ear, then he nipped at her ear lobe.

His hand moved from her ass to her breast and he began to gently squeeze it.  Then he rolled her hard nipple between his finger and thumb eliciting a low moan from his lover.  “Keith, I need you…I need you now,” she moaned.

Keith’s heart swelled up to hear Sandy say she needed him.  He pushed on her shapely hip rolling her onto her back.  Then he moved onto her between her legs.  Opening her legs with his, he moved to mount her.  Locking eyes with her, seeing the anticipation and love in her eyes, he pushed his cock into her welcoming pussy slowly and steadily until he was to the hilt inside her.  Her eyes closed and she focused completely on the magnificent cock that had just joined them together, not only physically, but the act had just joined their hearts together as well.  Keith had been inside Sandy a number of times over the last two days, but this time it was completely different.  They were one; body, heart, and soul. 

Both of the lovers moaned as Keith began to gently move inside Sandy.  Sandy felt the difference; there was no swearing, no naughtiness to this at all.  This was a man, her man, taking his woman, claiming her with this act of love. 

He groaned, loudly.  The emotions he was feeling were overwhelming.  His heart was bursting with love, and his body was naturally taking over, stroking harder and faster into his love.  “Oh Sandy, I love you,” he said locking eyes with hers.  Both sets of eyes were filling with joyous tears.

“Keith, my love, I cannot believe we have found each other after being blind to each other for so long.  I love you to the moon and back, forever,” she told him.  She felt an orgasm building deep in her core, moaning as she bit Keith’s shoulder.

Keith moaned at the bite and increased his pace and force.  He too felt an imminent orgasm.  “Baby, I am going to cum.  You feel so wonderful, I can’t hold back much longer.”

“I am so close baby; you are making me feel so blissful with your cock filling me.  Cum in me baby, give me your gift.” She told him.

With that, Keith began to cum inside his love.   He thrust deep inside her and froze, grunting as he gave Sandy his gift.  “Oh, oh, oh my god!  I am cumming,” she exclaimed.  Her body shuddered and she pushed her hips harder into Keith as both orgasms washed over them. 

“I love you, Sandy,” Keith said as he kissed her cheek, then her neck biting it gently.

“I love you too, Keith, so, so much,” she replied as tears ran down her face to her ears.

The two separated and cuddled with Keith pulling Sandy to him, spooning with her.  He kissed the back of her neck and the two lovers drifted off to sleep.
