Good Neighbors Ch. 092

I have expounded so many times about how much my neighbor had been there for me since before my wife passed. I have pontificated equally about how much she has let me in her world after she lost her husband soon after. This fact was best illustrated a few weeks ago when I was home. I overdid it at work and my knees were hurting a bit. I tried to man up and push through it, but it was during a night where I was with her romantically that it came to a head.

Simply put, I was getting ready to get in one of her favorite positions. She begged for me to take her from behind which was also one of my favorite things as well. I was getting into position when I bent my knee and felt a sharp cramp-like pain. I grabbed my knee and rolled on my back while cursing loudly. She turned around and was immediately trying to help me. She persuaded me to let go of my leg and stretch it out. Once that was done, she helped me roll over on my stomach so she could start rubbing where the pain was.

I felt a bit defeated at that point. Here we both were naked while she was rubbing into my knee and leg. I felt horrible before I felt her kiss right above where the pain was. I turned and saw her smiling as she was still rubbing me.

"You okay, Romeo?" she asked.

"Just my pride, Beloved," I answered, my voice revealing my disappointment.

She climbed back on the bed and snuggled next to me before my arms wrapped around her.

"You forgive me, Beloved?"

"For being a human being? It happens to the best of us, Romeo."

She accentuated that statement with a kiss before she held me close.

"I honestly thought I was gonna fall apart first tonight," she said.

"You are built well to start with," I responded. "You take very good care of yourself. You exercise as much as you can, and you eat right. Keeping up with you wears me out."

She smiled.

"I'm not a machine, Romeo. I wish I could keep up with your libido sometimes. I want to pleasure you as much as possible. Sometimes, I don't have the strength."

'It's one reason I love holding you, Amor. I just need you close."

She was quiet for a bit while we held each other. The pain in my leg was waning and I wanted to show her I wanted her still. I started to kiss her neck before I felt a quick slap on my ass.

"Oh no you don't, Romeo. We need some water first."

We both stood up naked and walked into the kitchen where I poured us both some ice water. She talked me into getting one of those filter pitchers a while ago and it encouraged me to drink more water. As we sat down at the table, we were talking pleasantly and drinking. It wasn't long until I refilled our glasses and we saw the clock.

"Sounds like it is almost dinner time. What are you thinking, Romeo?" she asked.

I started to check out the local delivery service before I remembered our state of dress. I rose from my chair and went to grab us a couple of robes. As I put one down for her, she looked up at me with a grin.

"Do you really want me covered up, Master?" she said teasingly.

I looked at her smiling before I called Sal's place for pizza. As we waited for the delivery person, she started to undo the belt on my robe.

"I feel like teasing you so badly," she whispered.

We were making out on the couch when the doorbell rang. I stood and retied the belt before opening the door and signing for the pizza. Once the delivery guy left, we dropped the robes and went into the dining room to eat. It was a bit longer to eat before we decided to shower together and lay back down. It was when we were back in bed that we started kissing again.

By the time we woke up the next morning, my knees were feeling better. So, we tried her favorite position again that morning. This time, it was successful, and we fell into each other's arms after. As we kissed a bit more, I looked at her and smiled wider.

"What are you thinking, Romeo?" she asked.

"Just appreciating you, Beloved. You're the best."
