He held out his arms and she was immediately in them, clinging to his chest and crying. He wasn’t sure if they were tears of joy or not but they were certainly some kind of release. Soon she calmed down and snuggled against him.
They sat there holding each other. Dan realized how much he missed this. Just physical contact with another human being. He could feel it centering him. Bringing him into the now.
Dan realized that noise came from Willow’s tummy. She was hungry! She was hiding her face but he was sure she was ashamed or frightened. God, her reactions were so reversed.
He gently lifted her chin with his finger until he could see her beautiful eyes. “Let’s get you some lunch, OK?” he said gently with a smile. She nodded slightly and returned his smile with one of her own. On impulse he kissed her forehead. She gasped then squeezed him harder rubbing her face against his chest. He guessed she hadn’t received too many gestures of affection in her past.
“We’re going to have to get off the floor to make lunch, Willow,” he said with a chuckle.
She released him and sprung to her feet. She helped him up as well then followed him over to the pantry. When he realized she was sticking so close he snorted then turned to face her. “Willow, why don’t you have a seat at the kitchen table and help yourself to a few cookies and a glass of milk? We need to get some weight back on you. I’m just going to get some cans of soup to heat up for lunch.”
She dropped her eyes but he saw the little smile on her mouth as she headed back to the table.
Dan went into the pantry and did a quick assessment of his inventory then estimated what the impact of having a second mouth to feed was going to have on his stock. Including the contents of the freezer in the garage, he would have had enough for four months if it was just him. Now he was looking at dropping that to two or two and a half months. Not good. He was going to have to ask Wally to do an airdrop in the meadow to the east of the cabin. Considering his new guest arrived with no clothes or supplies for her womanly needs, an air drop would have been necessary anyway. He’d have to work out a new list of requirements and contact Wally.
Carrying two cans of soup with him he re-entered the kitchen and noticed the plate of cookies was empty as was her glass of milk. His glass was still full and the cookie he’d place on his plate was still there.
He smiled at Willow and said “You can have my cookie and drink that milk if you like.” She smiled and plucked the cookie off his plate and had it chewed and swallowed in the time it took him to get back to the counter, all of four steps away. She sipped at the milk slower while she watched him move around the kitchen. After a short period he brought two bowls of thick beef and vegetable soup to the table. He went back for spoons and also brought back some hard cheese and bread to soak up the soup. Warning her that the soup was hot he demonstrated how to eat it safely. He had no idea if that was necessary but she watched him carefully and emulated his exact motions until she was eating along with him.
“Willow, if you start feeling full, stop eating and we will package it up for later. You don’t want to give your stomach too much to deal with. OK?”
She nodded at him and put her spoon down after just two more scoops. She dunked her last piece of bread into the bowl then pushed the soaked bread into her mouth. He could tell she was stuffed and she had a sleepy look on her face.
Dan had hoped they’d be able to return to building her timeline but she was obviously struggling to remain awake. He gathered up the bowls and put hers in a sealed container in the fridge for later. He cleared the rest of the table and put the dishes in the sink. He walked back to the table and watched Willows head bob and she slipped into and out of sleep sitting in her chair. He went down on one knee and scooped her up into his arms, her head resting on his shoulder. She immediately snuggled in with a purr. He carried her to the guest room and tucked her into the bed and gave her forehead another kiss.
He walked back to the kitchen and did the dishes. When he was done he felt a little weary himself. It had been quite a trying 24 hours. Thinking about that he realized he was going to have to contact the police to let them know what had happened. He thought he’d speak with Willow first and maybe figure out her true name so he’d have something helpful to tell the police.
OK, he found himself fighting to keep his eyes open as well so he might as well take a nap too.
He walked back to his bedroom and on the way glanced in at Willow who seemed to be sleeping peacefully. He reached his bed and pulled back the quilt and top sheet and dropped himself in. He set his alarm for 2 hours then covered himself and allowed sleep to pull him under.
It felt like only moments later that he heard the gentle chimes of his alarm waking him up. He was sweating under the quilt and then realized he wasn’t alone under the blankets. Willow had snuck into his bed while he slept and had curled up against his chest. He reached out and turned off the alarm. He looked down and saw Willow’s eyes peaking up at him, seeming to gauge if he was going to punish her. He pushed off the quilt to let some of the heat out and sat up. He realized that they were both going to need to shower again as sweat stained their clothes. He’d have to change the sheets too. Her eyes never left his face as she waited for him to indicate if he was upset with her. He looked at her lovely green eyes and tenderly pushed a strand of her blond hair from her face. She melted against his touch and the tension left her body.
“We’re a little sweaty and stinky, so we should get cleaned up,” he said.
Willow immediately got out of bed and began taking her clothes off. She looked over her shoulder at him and smiled shyly at his awestruck expression. “Uh, I meant separately.” She dropped her eyes and bit her lower lip. He could see her confidence had taken another hit. She was so bloody fragile. Even when he was trying to think of her he somehow messed up and hurt her.
“It’s OK, we can shower together but just for cleaning up this time, OK?” he said. Her eyes flashed back to him and for the first time he saw an impish smile on her lips. Sighing he pulled the sheets off of the bed, picked up her clothes and felt her reaching around his back to unbutton his shirt. She made quick work of those then pulled the knot loose on his track pants. She dropped them and his underwear to his feet and he stepped free of them. She placed them on the pile of laundry and he carried it out to the laundry room. It felt a little odd walking around nude but it wasn’t like he had any neighbors. He moved her clothes from the washer to the dryer and got it started. He loaded the rest of the dirty laundry and prepared it for later.
When he got back to the bedroom he could hear the shower going. Ah! Maybe she took the initiative to have her shower first? He looked into the bathroom and nope, she was standing by the glass wall with a smile on her face. He walked in and she entered the stall. She had prepared the temperature he realized as he stepped into the warm spray after her. She immediately set to scrubbing his back and of course, the feeling of her hands running over his body had the expected effect.
Willow was standing in front of him, having cleaned every other surface of his body. Her eyes were on his erection and she was beginning to breathe a little fast. She glanced at his eyes looking for permission to touch it. Instead Dan took the soap from her and lathered up his hands. He proceeded to soap her body as she had done for him only this time he used his hands instead of the loofa. She seemed to far prefer being washed in this way. His touch was soft but firm and he made sure she was well cleaned. He tried to remain clinical in his technique but her sighs and coos as his hands touched her soft flesh were an incredible distraction and his cock wasn’t buying the act at all. It remained stiff as iron throughout the entire exercise.
Once they were both clean they were breathing hard and standing facing each other. The moment he leaned towards her lips she surged forward to press hers against his. His tongue slipped forward to brush against hers and suddenly she was sucking at his tongue. His hands came up and cupped her breasts and he gently took her nipples between his thumb and finger, feeling the little gold barbells and rings dangle from them. Willow gasped into his mouth as he tugged gently on the rings and released them. Her hands immediately went to his cock and it was his turn to gasp into her mouth. He slid one hand down her stomach from her breast until his fingers curled under her clit to slide through the soft, wet lips of her pussy. He slid one then a second finger into her wet opening and he felt Willow’s legs buckle a little. She was beginning to make those needy yips as she rolled her hips against his invading fingers. She tugged the head of his cock to line up with her pussy but he jolted back.
“Willow, I don’t have any condoms and I doubt Percy had the decency to put you on the pill. We can’t.”
“I can’t get pregnant,” was all she said as she tugged at his rigid cock.
“What?” he gasped, as it was difficult holding a conversation with her holding his cock.
“The doctor made sure I couldn’t have babies so it’s OK,” she said in a matter of fact tone.
His head was spinning. He was still incredibly worked up and wanted to take Willow right now but she’d just dropped a bomb from her past in his lap and his mind was reeling with the implications of her words.
