The romance continues

Over the next few weeks, Julian and I met up when we could. We found a little coffee shop where we would meet for coffee after work on a Wednesday, and if we got the sofa by the window, we could surreptitiously hold hands. When he had the house to himself, I went round in the evenings after dinner, and we would talk, chat and kiss before invariably ending up in bed.

I loved his attentions, he would kiss me with such depth, he would stroke my hair, look deeply into my eyes and hold me close as he made love to me. His lovemaking was soft, slow and sensual, to the extent that I wondered if he was holding back... I whispered to him on the third night that we made love that he didn't always have to be just so gentle, and he said that he liked that. He told me later that he knew then he'd have to up his game.

He would be away a lot with work a lot over the next few weeks but email and text played a big part of our relationship. He was always in touch in some way.... and he definitely had a romantic side.

Some email snippets:

I reckon that not only will it take a while to sink in, but it will take some time - and time together - to define. I'm not sure what I expected when posting the ad - it wasn't casual sex, it wasn't marriage, but it wasn't you either. Obviously the surprise has been great.

I guess I meant that that's what makes all this so real. You're not just someone I clicked with as a friend, you're not just someone I slept with. There's way more going on.
-----------
So there's nothing much to tell, but that's the beauty of this e-mail. I want to tell you everything.
-----------
The idea of waking up next to you, followed by the ability to hold you close as we talk about the day ahead would be a good start. Breakfast in bed. Newspaper, perhaps, or books. Just a slow start. Though there might be some moments of slightly more activity ;-)
------------
Well our first few Saturday mornings together will be very relaxing... but I'm playing my cards for more than just a few.
--------------
Mushy texting may be over, but mushy feelings remain.
---------------
I'm in the DC public library, which is not conducive to writing e-mails to ones who feel long-lost.
----------------
I've been wandering around all day, wondering how long I can leave it before next e-mailing you. I'm rather pround of lasting three hours. Not sure if I'll get back here today, though. You literally haven't been apart from me today, and I like it like that. I cannot express just how overwhelmed I am by this.

Hey you... cuddles, love and kisses as I depart.

As you can see - very endearing. Any wonder I started to fall for him.......
