A Bath and More
Mary was supposed to meet Steve for afternoon drinks at a bar in his part of town, which Mary was happy to describe as 'working class' and not seedy in any way. It had taken a bit of convincing to be allowed out without a chaperone. Consequently, Martha knew about Mary's late night outings with Steve. The old woman was no fool. They had a sit down conversation about it, in which Martha acknowledged that Mary was a young lady, old enough to be considered an adult who would make her own choices. Her only advice was that Mary be discreet and not do anything that might get her into trouble. Martha realized that it was a new world after the war and that women were expressing their freedoms, her own granddaughter among them. If Mary wanted to be out with a man, so be it. Have her dalliances. But be careful. Apparently, Martha did not see this relationship in the long term.
Mary saw it a bit differently. She and Steve had spent a lot of time together and she could tell that she was starting to fall for him. They had fun together and he made her feel comfortable. He was kind and courteous and always a gentleman. He made her laugh and he made her think. And of course, he was one of the most handsome men she had ever seen. The only thing that may have made him unsuitable was his social class.
Steve arrived a bit late to their meeting and Mary was dismayed to find him covered in engine grease. He apologized profusely and said that he'd had to do some unexpected work on the airplanes. He hadn't even bothered to change out of his work clothes since he knew that he was going to have to take a bath. Mary was invited back to his flat while he cleaned himself up.
She was excited to get to see where he lived. The building was nondescript, and they climbed two flights of stairs inside before he let her into one of the apartments. Mary looked around as they entered. It was humble, but clean and tidy. At least he wasn't crammed into one of those tenements.
"It's lovely," she said, honestly meaning it, even if she couldn't picture herself living in a place like this.

"I love you, Mary," he murmured, his voice trembling slightly as he kissed across her neck and shoulder. "That was wonderful... I'm so lucky to have you."
no subject
"Mmm, I loved watching you... but I didn't..." Mary paused, her cheeks flushed as she debated whether or not it was appropriate to say. Why not? They'd just had sex. "I didn't have an orgasm that time. Is it because you couldn't really reach that spot?"
no subject
"It... could be, yes. Also, I was, uh... very... eager," he coughed. Now he was the one feeling embarrassed. "I didn't last as long as I'd have liked. And sometimes— well, sometimes people orgasm together or close enough, other times it just... it's not timed as perfectly, is all. It can also take a while for you to get used to... you know. A certain partner."
Which was to say, this was their first time, so the chances of them climaxing together were practically null.
"i can fix that," he said finally, after clearing his throat again. One hand slid down her side, resting over her hipbone. "Do you want my fingers on you, or... my mouth, maybe?"
no subject
"Your mouth?" Mary felt a shiver go down her spine as she imagined how that might work. She let out an involuntary moan. "Y-You would do that?"
no subject
His feelings for her had only grown since that night, but he had wanted her since that very first deep kiss, the way she pressed so warmly against him, how pliant she was in his arms. He had stroked himself to climax more than once that night, simply thinking about her.
"I would," he nodded, thoughtlessly licking his own lips. "It feels really good. Probably better than my fingers. And... I want to taste you."
no subject
His words made her blush again though, even as they aroused her. She involuntarily tightened her muscles around him. "H-How do you think I taste?"
Mary had decided though that she definitely wanted him to do it.
no subject
Well, it was only a small part of it. The main reason was that he wanted her to feel good.
"Seems as though you also want me to," he pointed out, hips raising and pressing lightly against her.
no subject
She felt a bit sore as she laid down on the bed next to him, but overall it was much less pain than her first experience.
no subject
Hands sinking to the mattress to both her sides, he hovered over her, leaning down to kiss her briefly, then his lips started trailing down her neck and lower, reaching her breasts and sucking at a nipple lightly before he mouthed across her stomach. There was a clear path he was following, even if he wanted to taste all of her skin on his way.

Mary was trembling with anticipation more obviously now and she felt herself growing wetter at the idea of having his tongue on her most intimate place.
no subject
Not wanting to taunt her too much, he finally dipped his head a little lower, tongue swiping slowly along her slit. She was wet and warm, and he sighed at her taste, letting the tip of his tongue go all the way up to that sensitive spot, swirling around it in a circling motion.
no subject
Mary resolved that if this was inappropriate, it didn't matter because it was between the two of them and no one else. Steve was the only one that she would ever want to touch her so intimately.
no subject
One of his hands slid up her inner thigh too, index and middle fingers sliding along her slit and gently parting her folds, so that she was more exposed to him, and he could more easily work his mouth against her.
no subject
Mary felt as though she was being worshipped, even while her most private place was exposed. He was gentle as always though, and the sensations were incredible. Mary tangled her fingers in his hair and held on tightly to him.
no subject
His tongue pressed fully against her slit, lapping across her flesh a few times, drawing up to her clit then sliding down to her opening and pushing into her along with his two fingers. His upper lip pressed against the sensitive knot of nerves in the meantime, not as thorough as his tongue but hopefully still present enough to please her.
no subject
"Oh.." She stopped watching only to lean her head back on the pillow and arch her back. Mary panted, her heart racing. "Steve... my God..." Her hips rocked in a steady rhythm against him.
no subject
His eyes closed when her head fell back, and instead he focused solely on working her. His head tipped slightly so his tongue could push deeper into her, doing it at the same time as his own two fingers, thrusting fast into her for a few seconds before pulling only his tongue back out. Lapping along her wet slit, he found her clit again, lips wrapping around the spot and the tip of his tongue flickering against it more insistently while he kept fingering her just as fast and deep as before.
no subject
The orgasm went off like a firecracker inside of her and she cried out for him as her muscles stiffened. She could feel the fluid dripping out of her. Her hips moved against his face until she was finally spent, laying back down on the bed.
no subject
He didn't stop even as she came, either. Her fluids spilled from her and right against his mouth and fingers, and Steve made sure to lick her clean to the very last drop. Once she flopped back on the bed, fully relaxed, he lapped at her opening too, humming softly as he swallowed her, and finally pleased with himself, he pulled back from between her legs, crawling up her figure and pressing a soft kiss to her neck.
"That was beautiful, Mary."
no subject
"I've never felt anything like that before," she said quietly.
no subject
He had taken great care not to make it yet another unpleasant experience for her, so he was pleased that he had managed that.
no subject
Her American relations might be tolerable, but she knew that the British ones would be a battle. Steve probably wasn't what Robert and Cora had envisioned for their daughter, even if he was the best man that Mary had ever met.
no subject
And he honestly hoped that she loved him at least enough to feel as adamantly about them being together.
Running his fingers quietly through her hair, he finally broke the brief moment of silence. "Your family— your father, your mother... they want you to be happy, right?"
