Karen's Fantasy
By
Jane L. Daffron
Admiral Harriman Nelson wearily threw his suit bag and his briefcase onto the bed in his hotel room at the Hyatt Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. It had been a thoroughly useless, time consuming, bone weary day. Throwing his hat on the bed and loosening his tie, he then took off his blue uniform jacket and proceeded to unbutton the top of his shirt as he sat down on the edge of the other bed, exhausted.
Damn! I hate these ‘emergency’ meetings! They’re never a ‘real’ emergency in the first place…only some damn bureaucrat that’s got a hair up his ass and thinks it is.
He discarded the tie and threw it over on the chair. Unbuttoning the sleeves of his shirt, he slowly started to pull the shirt from his pants
God, I’m tired.
He slowly got up, picked up his laptop computer, and plugged it into the adjoining data port, then powered it up. In the meantime, he called down for room service, and then started to dress down. Opening his bag, he took out a small bottle of Glen Livet Scotch that he carried with him and, taking a glass from off the top of the mini-bar, filled it with ice, and then poured a very generous amount of the golden liquid into it. As he downed a large part of it, he stood and looked out the window at the scenery before him. Crystal City’s numerous office buildings and hotels dominated the landscape and and knew that beyond that, across Interstate 395, lay the Pentagon’s massive structure. Taking another gulp of the scotch, he turned back toward his suitcase.
Why in blue blazes did the CNO need me here now? I’ve got too damn much to
do at home.
As he began rummaging around for his pajamas, a large yellow envelope suddenly dropped out. It had been lying between the layers of his clothes…hidden…until he began to unpack. Turning it over, the only markings he found were ‘FYEO, Admiral Harriman Nelson, NIMR’ typed in large, bold lettering. No other identifying markings were to be found.
Hmmmm…wonder what this could be. I certainly don’t remember it putting it
in.
Taking another long drink, he sat down heavily on the bed and leaned back against the headboard. However, before he could open it, there was a knock at the door. Tossing the envelope aside, he got up and answered the door.
"Yes?" he asked as he opened the door to find a bellhop with a rolling table which obviously contained his dinner. In addition to his order, there was a single red rose in a clear glass vase and a wine bucket filled with ice containing a bottle of vintage Champagne. Furthermore, there was a box of chocolate covered strawberries next to the bucket.
"Your dinner, sir?" the young man responded as he proceeded to deliver the dinner.
"Ahhh…good…good…bring it on in. But I didn’t order Champagne," Nelson pointed out as he got out of the way so that the man could sit out the dinner.
"Don’t know about that, sir. I was just told to deliver the meal. Apparently the bottle is on the house."
"Humph…" was the reply as he dug in his pocket for the young man’s tip and managing at least a very tired smile. "Here you go and thanks."
"Sure thing, sir," the bellhop replied as he pocketed the money and quietly shut the door.
Walking over to the table, he picked up the bottle from the ice bucket.
Dom Perigon. Vintage year 1953. Hmmm, a very good year.
Expensive, too. Damn shame Karen’s not here to share it with me. She’d love
this. And strawberries, too. Damn!
He sighed heavily and then again picked up the glass of scotch, took a drink, and then picked up the large envelope. Taking a knife from the table, he opened the letter and pulled out a small stack of papers. On top was a handwritten note that he instantly recognized as Karen’s handwriting. At first he thought that it might have something to do with the expenditure report she had promised to have ready for him. However, something about the beginning of the letter as well as the fact that her perfume emanated from the paper made him realize that it was much more. He started to scan it when he realized that he might just be more comfortable sitting down. So as he stretched out on the empty bed, he began to read…

Harriman, You had to
rush away so fast yesterday morning that I forgot to do something. That
‘something’ was to give you a kiss goodby. I know the disagreement we had the
other day was very trivial...we’re both very strong opinionated people. No
matter what, no matter where, I’ve always kissed you goodby. I guess it comes
from remembering what happened to Robert and how, for some reason, I didn’t that
one morning. And I’ve always regretted it. Maybe it sounds a bit silly...but
humor me, will you? I don’t want that to happen with us. Anyway...the
enclosed papers are a little something for you to read and remember me with ‘til
you get home. I actually wrote it some time ago, not long after we’d first
starting seeing each other. Right before our weekend in Williamsburg. I was in a
really weird mood and sat down one evening with a glass of wine and wrote it.
You may wonder what led me to do it...well, Admiral Harriman Nelson...even at
that point, after you first kissed me...I was attracted to you. Very strongly,
in fact, sir. Harriman, you stirred emotions in me that night on the beach that
I’d forgotten about. You have no earthly idea how much I wanted to make love to
you that night. But I knew it would have been wrong...for both of us. So a
couple of days later, I sat down with the wine and wrote this. You might be
shocked to learn that I had a major fantasy about you after that first night. It
was very interesting to put this to paper, knowing that I was going to be
seeing you the next day. Maybe you don’t really realize how much you really
affected me that night. I’d actually
forgotten about this (why did I need to fantasize about you after
Williamsburg)...it got put in some files that I’d moved from the apartment to
the house after we got married. I was going thru the files recently and found
it. Glad I did...and glad Caitlin never found it. She’d have had a heart attack
if she’d read it. She wouldn’t have understood how horny her mother really was
after that first date with you. Anyway, read
and, hopefully, enjoy. And just remember...I miss you. Love,
|
Cocking his head to one side just a bit, he picked up the sheets of paper and started to read. Again, the scent of her perfume invaded his nostrils. The manuscript was printed on embossed stationary…and a D at the top. Absentmindedly picking up his glass in one hand and downing the remainder of the glass, his tired eyes started to scan the pages. What he started to read made him sit up straight and pay closer attention to the contents…

D
How would I make love to you? I've often
wondered. We're both afraid of this
moment.... although we both have wanted it.... longed for it...and now...it is
finally here. My mind is reeling....my hands
trembling....my heart pounding so loud that my ears would burst I start by
taking you by the hand and tracing the outline of your face with the edge of my
finger. Lightly touching my lips to yours, I would then take my fingers and hold
your face gently and kiss you not once, not twice, but several times. My hands
would slowly make way down from your face to your shoulders and down your arms
to your hands. Our fingers would intertwine as we kissed, slowly.
Passionately…exploring each other...tasting of each other. You would try to
touch me, to stroke me…but I gently push your attempts away…whispering instead
that I want to make love to you…your time will come later. I look into your eyes, wide with wonder at
what I will do next...not knowing…but knowing that you want to take control…but
I won't permit it…knowing that this is as scary for me as it is for you…we're
not children, you and I…we're not inexperienced or naïve…just frightened -
frightened of what our passions really hold for us, now and in the future. I slowly start to loosen the tie you're
wearing, undoing it and pulling it slowly from around your neck. You stand
perfectly still.....afraid to move....lest I lose my courage and you lose yours.
Letting it fall to the floor, I then slowly start to unbutton your starched
uniform shirt. Your hands are trembling....mine are too.......First the button
at the neck and then each succeeding one downward, gently pulling the material
from within your pants. Your cotton undershirt is soft to the touch and I can
feel the nervousness of your skin underneath as I slowly trace a line with my
fingertips from the neck down to your belt buckle. My eyes never leave yours as
I carefully slide your shirt from your arms and glide it down until it drops to
the floor. My lips lightly brush yours and you whisper to me, My God! What are
you doing to me? Only what you want me to do,
I whisper back. Nothing more. Shall I stop? You do not answer, but it is only then
that I allow you to begin your exploration of me. You kiss my neck softly,
barely touching it but I feel your breath on my skin. It feels like warm
silk...soft but almost hot to the touch. Taking my hand, you kiss the palm and
then pull me tighter against you…your mouth searches for mine. Your tongue
captures mine and plays with it, teasing it, as your hands slowly find
themselves on my breasts. My thin cotton dress shows what you're doing to me,
the evidence readily apparent…and I can feel your reaction to me as it stirs
against my body. Your hands are on my arms, gliding, barely
touching, downward. You break the embrace and take hold of the material of my
dress, then slowly start to lift it higher until you are pulling it over my
head. My breasts are uncovered, the nipples hard from exposure to the night air
and the brief pleasure you have given so far. Your eyes never leave mine and I
slowly start to unbuckle your belt and undo your pants. My mind is
reeling…spinning out of control…from trying very hard to concentrate. I want you
so badly, but I want it to be right. It must be right. For both of us. For this
is a mutual seduction. I am so afraid of you…of the eventual outcome that we
both so desperately want, we both so desperately need…but I want you
nonetheless…so very badly my body actually aches…as much as you want me. You are backing me up slowly toward the
bed that is behind me…there is music playing somewhere - very softly…very
melodic. Slowly, as if time has
become suspended, you lay me down and then lay down beside me, our hands
exploring each other, touching lightly as if the other person were on fire. Your kisses are more demanding now, more
intense, more searching…more revealing of what you want from me. I'm having a hard time keeping track of
reality…it's all becoming blurred now…what is real, what is not…all I know is
the delicious feeling that I have by being touched by you. My hands feel the hardness that is you and
I struggle to free you so that I can know it, love it. Let me stroke you, touch
you, show you that I do remember how to love; it's been so long, so very long. You are lying here next to me, my skin
touching yours. I never knew that my nerves could be so sensitive, so alive -
almost raw. It's been so long...too
long…since I've known this feeling. Your hands wander downward and I feel you
take two fingers and find my spot of ecstasy. You slowly, lightly, gently, touch
it and start to rub it, sending shivers down my spine. My body shifts so that I can touch you. I
look into your eyes…eyes that are filled with wanting, longing…lust. Your
movements are making it hard for me to keep my concentration. After all, this is
my seduction of you, but it has slowly blurred into one of mutual activity. Your skin responds to my touch, you have
grown and hardened to meet it. You feel so wonderful, so warm…so receptive.
Lightly my fingertips touch the tip of you and it moves to meet them…as if it
has a total mind of its own. You
are trying to hold back…to allow me the pleasure of knowing you fully. A sticky moistness covers my
fingertips…your body's arousal is evident in so many ways. Your kiss is becoming more insistent
now…your fingers probing my body…entering it...making my mind insane in wanting
you. Finally, I realize that if I am to fully
master you, I must concentrate fully on you…pleasing you…make you want me as
much as I want you. I rise up and gently push you back against the pillow and
begin an exploration of your body. Your rapid breathing slows as you realize I
will not let you have your way. Accepting my desire to know every part of your
body, you guide me as my lips and tongue lightly touch your nipples. Suddenly
realizing that they are extremely sensitive, I slowly encircle one with the tip
of my tongue and then go to the other. My hands lightly touch your stomach, your
body hair stands on end from anticipation. I position myself so that one hand
can stroke your thigh and then the other. You move your legs slightly to allow
me access to you. Slowly, my fingers knead and rub your thigh until they gently
touch your testicles. I see them slightly move from my touch and I see your
penis jump when my hand momentarily touches it. You moan slightly, barely audible, because
of the sensations you are feeling. You reach for me, wanting me, but I slightly
shake my head no. I want you to see that I remember how to give pleasure…I want
to give it to you. My lips again touch your stomach ever so lightly, gently and
my tongue starts a path down. Another moan escapes your lips as my lips encircle
the very tip of you and tasting the saltiness of you…you feel like velvet
against my tongue…growing even a bit larger as I gently tease the rim. My
fingers lightly caress you, playing with your hair, touching you. Your body
moves in response to me…your feet and toes move because of the feeling you are
having Finally, you are afraid that you cannot
hold back any further…you want me to know the same sensuous feelings that I have
given to you. You take my head gently in your hands and guide me back up to your
waiting mouth. Then quickly you roll over and I am laying against the pillows as
your mouth and fingers begin an exploration of my body that I never thought
possible. Your breath feels hot against my skin as
your fingers lightly play with the nipple of my breast. You lower your mouth to
it and ever so gently bite at it then begin to suck and play with it. Your other
hand strokes my stomach and then wanders downward to the warm moistness that has
been generated by the anticipation of your touch. My hips are moving against
your hand, entreating your fingers to find the place that will drive me over the
edge. You slowly stroke me, urging me with both your hand and your tongue. My
body rises in response…my mind does not recognize reality any longer…only that
it wants release…it needs release…of the feeling that is building deep from
inside. Your mouth follows your hand and your move
my legs apart and place yourself between them. You open the outer lips of my
being and lower your mouth and tongue to it...tasting…stroking it. It feels so
wonderful, so delicious. My hips are beginning a rhythmic movement now, rising
and falling to meet the movements of your tongue. Pushing against you, imploring
you to probe deeper within me. You are pushing me further to a limit than I
never thought possible. My hands are buried deep within your hair, stroking your
head, moaning in total pleasure at the feel of your touch. Then, without warning…the feeling subsides
and you arise and you part my legs even further. You are now sitting on your
knees as you pull me to you, slowly stroking me with your hardness, the tip
rubbing the little place you had just pleasured with your tongue. You gaze at
me, but not seeing, only feeling the sensations of us…the wanting…the need…the
burning need to join…to become one. Slowly, you enter me…slowly, not wanting
to hurt me because it has been so long since I have known this act…this
feeling…this longing. Slowly…gently, you push deeper, deeper…until I have taken
the entirety of you. And then we begin to move…ever so slowly…you withdraw and
then push inward. I move my hips to
meet each thrust of your body. The urgency is growing stronger now…the
frequency is quicker…harder… My hands are wandering over my body now. I
want you to see what you are doing to me. You lower your mouth to one breast and
then the other as you thrust harder and faster in and out of me. Your mouth
finds mine and with an urgency so primal, your kisses are so hard and so vicious
that my breath is taken away. Then all of a sudden, you tense and a moan
escapes from you as you come…you explode inside of me, yet you regain and
continue. You want me to seek my
own release. Sitting up, yet still moving inside me, you take your fingers and
urge me to my own release. It doesn't take long…I'm almost there. My muscles start to contract violently
around you as you continue to move inside me… Your mouth once again finds mine and you
softly kiss me over and over. For
the first time in so very, very long, I know what pure, absolute pleasure
is…what true joy can and does feel like between two people. I haven't known what
this feels like for so long…you have no earthly idea what you have done…no idea
how you have made me feel. For the
first time in a long, long time, you have made me feel like a complete woman…one
who can love again…and one who can give love again. Your hands cup my face and I look into your eyes as we lay,
still joined together. Your blue
eyes hold what you feel; they search mine…penetrating me…looking deep into my
soul. There are tears in my eyes now. You
don't know why. You look at me, unsure now of what has taken place between us. Don't be afraid,
you tell me. I'm here and I will never hurt you. You are still inside me. I can feel that
which came from within you coming from me. You gently kiss the tears from my
cheek, my eyes, my mouth. I'm not afraid,
I tell you. These are tears of joy. You've made me soar…you have no idea how you
made me feel. It's the first time in my entire life that I've truly soared. I
don't want to ever lose that feeling. I reach up and kiss you so lightly that
you barely feel it…but your lips are like fire on mine; your hand goes to my
hair and pushes it out of my eyes, away from my face You hold me tight against you; as if
you'll never let me go. I can feel
your heart beating against mine, so hard against me as if it would come out of
your chest. Slowly, ever so slowly, it quietens. Our breathing becomes less rapid and
calmer, more controlled. Hold me…just hold me…let me
know what it really feels to be loved again,
I ask you. You see, it’s been so long…I’ve forgotten what it really feels like. As our union is finally broken, you
surround me with your arms and my head is laid on your chest. Rest, my love.....rest,
you whisper to me. The next time, I will make love to you and these are the last
words I hear you say before we fall asleep in each other's arms…

Harriman Nelson read the pages not once, not twice, but at least three times. He slowly exhaled
My God!! Karen!! You wrote this after that first date?
A huge smile slowly erupted on his face. It was then that he realized how much he truly missed her. As he started to reread the papers again, he suddenly became conscious that he’d had a massive physical reaction to her letter. Reaching for the telephone, he quickly dialed the direct line into her lab. After about four rings, it clicked over and Terri Styles, her secretary, answered.
"Mrs. Nelson’s office. May I help you?"
"Terri, is she in?" he abruptly asked, his breathing having quickened in reaction to the words she had written. He was still flabbergasted . . .she’d never given any indication of these kinds of feelings those first few weeks . . .even during their time in Williamsburg. He kept staring at the pages...at the very words of the fantasy...unbelieving that his own wife had written them about him.
"No, sir. She left to go out of town. Said she’d be back about the time you would be. All I have are her cell phone and pager numbers."
Damn! "Okay, thanks. I’ve got those, too, so I’ll see if I can find her. But if she calls in there, tell her to call me ASAP here in Arlington. It’s very important. She’s got the number."
"Will do, sir. Oh, and sir...I think she’s got her laptop with her. You might also try e-mailing her."
"Thanks, Terri," he replied as he hung up the phone. Again, he picked up the
letter and the note and reread them. Shaking his head in total amazement, he
still couldn’t believe what he’d just read. The physical affect it had on him
was just as strong this time as it had been at the very first. Damn,
Karen…where the hell are you? You give me this and aren’t even where I can tell
you…Dammit!
Suddenly there was a soft knock at the door. Nelson quickly realized that his wife’s ‘erotic fantasy’ had had quite an effect on him. Calling through the door, he asked, "Yes, who is it?"
"Delivery, sir," was the soft answer from the other side of the doorway. This time the voice was feminine.
"Hold on just a moment," was his response and he then opened the door, only to find Karen standing in front of him. The look of total surprise was more than evident on his face.
"Karen?! What are you doing here? Terri just said…you’re supposed to be…"
"Aren’t you going to at least invite me in, Harriman?" she answered in a low sultry voice. "You really shouldn’t let your wife stand out in the hallway."
He moved out of her way as she slowly walked in. Then quickly turning around, her arms went around his neck and she pulled him into a very slow, very long, passionate kiss.
When the embrace was finally broken, he whispered in her ear, "That was some report you wrote, Captain."
"I’m glad you approve, Admiral. However..." she softly replied as she turned and, taking his hand in hers, led him to the bed. "... there are some things that are better physically demonstrated than verbally explained." She slowly started to unbutton his shirt, kissing him lightly, and, as his hands roamed her body, she smiled into his blue eyes and quietly declared, "There are also times when fantasies need to be made into reality."
He looked down at his wife as she was slowly divesting him of his clothing.
Funny…I couldn’t agree more.
