Context: After years of separation, Linda and Edward agreed to meet in Prague.
Linda was looking her best and, heart pounding, walked out of the Plaza Alta Hotel into the beautiful June light of Prague. The skies were a cloudless blue and the warm light put a halo around Linda. She gleamed. There was something about her that made not only the men on the plaza turn and gaze at her but the women also. She had something...she knew something...something that everyone else couldn't name but wanted.
She saw the cafe across the plaza and made her way there. As she approached, a waiter quickly sailed through the sea of tables to her. Even though it appeared that they were quite busy.
"Good morning, madame!" he greeted her in English. "I have the best table for you over here." Linda suspected nothing but there was something so easy about this. But, isn't this the way service should be? She thought that the dress must make her seem American, ...or British.
She settled into her chair and the waiter beamed at her. Linda thought he was waiting for a her morning drink order.
"I'll have a ..." but the waiter had just turned to look behind him, then scampered off.
"Hmmm," thought Linda. "I'll have to think twice about the service here."
She decided to make the best of it and allow them to come to here. She closed her eyes and drank in the morning sunshine, allowed her ears to pull in the sounds of Prague. Pigeons coo'd nearby, and being 10am the church bells began a short peal to precede the ten bells. Tourists and locals streamed through the plaza making the excitement of her day that much more intense.
As she opened her eyes she remembered. Don't get up. Don't get up.
Then her heart stopped for 2 seconds before pounding out of her chest. Looking across the sea of tables, through the couples and families, she saw Edward! He was looking directly at her. His manner was of a man that had been there relaxed and taking her in, enjoying the sight, ...in love.
Linda's first instinct was to get up. That quickly she had allowed that rule to slip out of her mind but before she could get up the waiter was back right in front of her, not only blocking her view but disallowing her to stand. Then she remembered the rule: Don't get up.
The waiter set down some coffee and talked in an excited but official voice: "Madame, this coffee is for you along with this writing note. It has been given to you by the man you can see across the way." He turned as he said this, pointing toward a man other than Edward. The man to which he pointed was wearing roughly the same color clothing but was about 85 and not paying a big of attention to Linda as he shoved a huge bite of croissant into this mouth. Both Edward and Linda put their hands over their mouths to hide the grin.
"Thank you, sir. You are so kind," Linda replied. The waiter beamed at Linda and quickly left. Linda beamed at Edward. Edward was leaning his head on one hand with his elbow on the table, looking dreamily at Linda. This connection continued for a happy minute until Linda realized that she had a note to read! Her hands quivered and fumbled at the envelope and dropped the entire thing on the stone pavement. She grinned at Edward as she pulled it back up to her. He was still looking at her dreamily.
Linda finally had the letter open in front of her and read, trying to keep her hands from shaking:
"Dear madam,
I could not help noticing you as you walked across the plaza. I think I recognize you but I didn't want to be forward. Nothing would make me happier than to join you at your table, but should you desire to be alone, simply fold this note and put it under your saucer.”
Linda folded the note and put it under the saucer. Linda worked very hard to keep a straight face and she no longer looked Edward's way. It was killing her but she just had the sudden motivation to tease him. Was she foiling his plan? Maybe this wasn't a good idea, she thought.
Edward's smile went a way for an instant after seeing her indicate her desire to be alone but he grinned when he realized what she was doing. He thought about getting up anyway, but he decided to play along and be coy. He looked around the plaza pretending to be disinterested. A quick glance by Linda saw this and she knew the game. Well, she was going to break another rule now. She didn't allow his advance to her so she was going to advance to him.
When she could see out of the corner of her eye that he was looking away she quickly gathered her things, stood up and walked toward the main part of the cafe that led indoors. In the shelter of the Sun she was hidden in shadow. She peered around a post out into the sun-filled plaza and found Edward again. He was scanning. She could see him suddenly change when his eyes met the empty table. She giggled.
She looked around the cafe and saw a door at the other end that led to a side part of the plaza. She could approach him from the other direction. She walked gaily through the cafe, snagging eyes as she did. Coming out the other side she could see Edward's backside at the table. She approached the table and slowed as she became closer and closer to him. Standing right behind him she was hardly able to contain herself. Here was the man that is the love of her life that she hasn't seen for decades and he's right here!
After a deep breath of courage she spoke. "Excuse me sir, but I believe this is your note." Edward visibly jumped at the sound of someone's voice behind him. She handed him the note. "I'm afraid that I don't like strangers flirting with me, especially American men. I don't believe I know you and I would like for you to cease your flirtations with me."
Edward needed time to regain his footing. His plan was falling apart but he might be able to salvage it. He didn't care though. The love of his life was standing next to him. He wanted to pull her down onto his lap right then.
"I'm s-sorry, madame. I must have had the wrong opera singer," he stammered.
"Oh, opera! Well, perhaps you do know me," she said haughtily. "You must be one of my millions of fans worldwide."
"Uh, yes I am Ms. Harris. Brenda Harris, is that right?" Linda was suppressing a grin as she attempted to look angry.
She came back: "Wagner is the name! Linda Wagner. I happen to be the biggest thing to ever hit the Berlin Oper."
"Ah, Linda Wagner, you say. I think I've heard of you. Oh yes, actually, I'm a fan of yours, too. I don't think I have your autograph. Would it be too much to ask you for one?"
"Not at all," replied Linda. And I have a special greeting that I give to all my fans." She shook his hand. Neither wanted to let go. They allowed the hands to touch softly and meaningfully for a few moments and then let go.
"That's the greeting, huh?" said Edward.
"Well, if you're in my fan club, there's something different," Linda provided proudly.
"Oh, Ms. Wagner, believe me, I'm IN the fan club."
"Well then, I guess you're entitled, then, to an upgraded greeting." She walked over to Edward, who was still seated. She put herself right up against his side and with her right hand tenderly touched his jaw and turned his head upward. At this moment they were no longer playing. She looked at him with eyes that never knew this kind of love until now. She kept that gaze until her eyes were within inches of his and she laid the softest kiss on Edward's shaking lips.
Linda then slowly pulled at his bottom lip with her two lips until it sprung back. Then she went in for another slow, full kiss. Her hand held his neck as she stood slowly back up.
Edward gulped, then said, back in character "Ms. Wagner. I love your fan club so much! That was a wonderful (he swallowed) benefit."
"There's another level of membership Mr...?"
"Rausch, Edward Rausch, but you can call me ...whatever you want to call me." His eyes were fixed upon hers and didn't seem to know or care what the plan was anymore.
"Well, Mr. Rausch. If you can prove how much of a fan you really are we can work out those extra benefits."
"Oh, the autograph!" said Edward. "I'm sorry but I left my autograph book back in my room. Perhaps we could go there tog...."
"Oh, that's too bad, Mr. Rausch." She sat down sideways on his lap and turned her shoulders to face him. The cafe diners didn't seem to notice. "I guess you're just stuck at this level for now." She began kissing his face all over. Somehow this began to attract attention. Some waiters were standing together smiling. The one who picked out the wrong man was looking confused and sorry.
"You got up out of your chair." Edward was able to whisper when she wasn't busy on his lips.
"I see that you are up right now!" Linda teased. It was true. She must have felt a slight change in elevation since she sat down.
"I love you, Linda Wagner!" he said gently into her ear.
"I love you, Edward Rausch!" she whispered back.
At this Edward couldn't stand it any longer and pulled her up as he stood and they embraced wildly, pulling each other in tightly. They stood there for minutes, frozen in this embrace, whispering constant words of love to each other, looking like one larger human being with four legs. More and more people were gawking at this scene, most adoringly so.
After several minutes they peeled apart but didn't separate very far. They kissed each other's faces and they held one another's hands in front of their chests.
Finally, Edward spoke first: "Are you hungry?"
"I don't think I can eat right now," said Linda beaming.
"Then I think, Ms. Wagner, that you should come back to my room and sign my autograph book."
Linda laughed, then said, "I think, Mr. Rausch, that you have a new level of benefits coming."
Edward grinned, "I think have everything now, Ms. Wagner. Could there possibly be more?"
"You'll just have to come see, Mr. Rausch, now won't you? I have an exclusive benefit level just for you." Linda's eyes sparkled back at him.
With that, the newly reunited couple slowly and blissfully gathered their things, and strolled slowly, hand-in-hand across the plaza, saying nothing but stealing smiling glances at each other all the way.
Linda and Edward, still hand in hand, were almost back to the Plaza Alta Hotel when Linda couldn't stand it any longer being "this far" away from Edward. She pulled his hand out and back to spin him around and threw her arms around his neck. She then slowed the action and pulled him gently in for a passionate, soft kiss. Edward finally came out of the surprise attack and succumbed.
The kiss lingered, stopped, and started again.
Their lips finally pulled away.
"That's better," said Linda.
"I'll say. You know I'm trying to decide if your kisses are better than before," Edward teased.
"You can't decide, huh? Well, perhaps we'll have to get back up to speed on that."
"Well, if you think that's best. I don't want to inconvenience you while you're sightseeing in Prague."
Linda came back with "I've seen what I came to see. Well, not all of it. Some it requires getting those clothes off of you."
Edward grinned widely and Linda put a gentle but quick kiss right on the corner of his mouth. She grabbed his hand once more and pulled him toward the hotel.
As they entered the hotel it somehow looked quite different to Linda. Perhaps just the change in company. They continued into the wide lobby toward the elevator.
Linda stopped dead center of the lobby and asked, "Say, where are you staying?"
"Oh, I just checked in. Actually yesterday, but I just switched rooms because I didn't like the view." Linda thought that didn't sound like Edward. He's certainly not a snob. Edward continued, "let's go see your room."
Then proceeded to the small elevator and it became full of passengers. Linda and Edward stood side by side in the back of the car as it rose. Edward palmed one of Linda's butt cheeks. She at first flinched involuntarily until she realized it was, of course, Edward. Edward turned his head slowly toward her with his eyes wide and jaw dropped.
He mouthed exaggeratedly with no sound "No panties?" Linda, looking casual and coy, slowly shook her head. Edward made an audible long sigh. Some other passengers took a quick glance toward him then looked forward again. Something was growing in Edward's underwear.
When they exited on Linda's floor, they turned down the hall to see Hilda shutting Linda's door. A bell hop and a waiter were at her side.
Linda let out "Hilda! But what..."
"All is set, Mr. Rausch. You are now moved in, too" Hilda said a little gruffly like she didn't want to appear sentimental. "You two don't come out until you are ready for supper at eight." With that she scampered off toward a servant's staircase.
Linda stopped in front of her door to block it. She folder her arms in front of her and looked suspiciously at Edward, suppressing a smile. "Didn't like the view of your room, huh?"
Edward said, "Hey you have your secret no-panties trick and I have my own trick. Can we see your room? ...I mean our room?"
Linda's look turned into a huge smile and let out a little laugh. She took a fist full of his shirt, pulled him in close and gave him a soft wet kiss along with a little brush of her tongue. ...just to keep him off balance.
She unlocked the door and swung it open to find what was apparently Edward's luggage set neatly near the free-standing closet. But in the middle of the suite was a round table full of fruits and raw vegetables, some cured meats, fresh bread, cheeses, wine, and sparkling water.
Linda came up very close to Edward and they held each other for a long while, head together side-by-side saying nothing, sometimes squeezing harder or sighing deeply. They parted heads just to look at each other. Linda put a hand on Edward's face. Edward kissed her nose. She kissed his chin. They traded soft kisses like this until about every feature of their faces and necks were inventoried.
Edward directed Linda to a love seat where they sat down and removed their shoes and Edward, his socks. Here they sat very closely, touching, eventually with Linda's legs hanging over Edward's with Edward stroking her bare legs. For now, he tried not to think about what was not underneath her dress. They talked and laughed and caught up with their trips to Prague and their anticipation stories about seeing each other again.
"Linda, you're so lovely." He put his hand on her face this time. His gaze was serious, intent. "I am so happy to see you."
"Oh, and you, Mr. Handsome! Edward Rausch!" Linda added.
"Linda Wagner!" Edward came back.
They kissed once more softly, slowly and repeatedly on the lips. Edward stood up and pulled Linda up with him very closely.
"Well, with that food I think we can stay awhile," she said beaming. "But I'm still not hungry. ...except for you."
Edward beamed back and said, "Well, what if I'm not on the menu?" Ignoring that, and focusing intently on his face, Linda was already undoing Edward's belt, button, and zipper. His slacks fell to the floor. Edward was smiling widely. Keeping her face close to his, with both hands she felt the sides of his legs, squeezed his butt cheeks, and just grazed his penis. Edward let out an involuntary, and quick, soft "ah!" Then he said, "Wow, that got me started."
Linda said, "I see you're not a member of the no-panties club."
Edward came back with, "Oh, no. I love panties. Won't give them up for anything."
"Shall I put mine on then?" Linda teased.
"Uh, let's wait on that ...for now!"
With Edward's pants down around his ankles, standing there with Linda feeling his skin and skivvies, he was feeling more than her love growing. He moved toward her and pressed his pelvis into hers. Her silky dress against his soft brushed cotton underwear made for a nearly naked feeling between them, at least compared to normal clothing.
They didn't gyrate and press hard, they were simply desiring a more conscious burn where they could better enjoy each other...give attention to other areas and then come back to the obvious later. Linda took Edward's face into her hands and pulled it down slightly as she went up on her bare toes for a better reach. Her kiss was as soft as lips can be and still be felt. She turned his head and hers until they were at crosses and she slowly swiped a long soft lick across Edward's lips.
Edward shuddered and went back to softly circling her mound with his bulge. Linda turned his head the other way and she crossed it again. As she went in for another lick, Edward licked her tongue! Linda giggling cause her head to bow down and Edward grabbed her face now with his hands and stole a soft kiss. He loved the way she smelled with his nose so close to her face.
Linda grabbed his waist and pulled his middle in close. Edward bent his knees slightly and, pushing toward her, stood up to slide his bulge in low past her pussy. Now Linda shuddered. He repeated this several times until her arms went limp and she leaned into him allowing his arms to support her.
Edward unzipped the back of Linda's dress all the way down to where it stopped. But he didn't remove it.
He lay her down on the nearby bed along the foot at the edge. He kicked his pants away and slowly took off his shirt, gazing down at Linda who looked with love back at him. Both smiled, contentedly. Linda casually caressed Edward's leg as he finished unbuttoning, their gazes ever fixed on each other. He dropped the shirt on the floor.
Edward said, "I hate to break this to you now, but ..." He looked serious. "I'm an auditor from the no-panties club. They knew I'd be seeing you on this trip and they've been suspecting that you've been wearing panties. I'm here to make an inspection and clear this matter once and for all."
Linda was grinning, "how long will this take, Mr. auditor? I know I'm innocent but how can I prove it to you that I'm ...in compliance?"
The auditor said, "Well, I'll have to spend some time inspecting tonight, of course, checking out under this garment you're wearing. But I'll need to spend the week performing spot checks at random times. I'm afraid it will be quite intrusive but it's the only way to truly clear your name."
Linda said seriously, "well if that's what it ...ohhhhhhh." Edward laid his hand directly on her pussy over her dress. Linda took the leg closest to her and pulled up her leg, spread it open and then touched her knee onto his bulge. Edward circled her clitoris ever so lightly and Linda moaned softly in appreciation.
In a moment, Edward stopped, straightened her leg so that she was again laying flat at the foot of the bed. Edward dropped to his knees and came close to Linda's face. She looked serene. She said softly and slowly, "My love, is this heaven?"
Edward kissed Linda's forehead, then the tip of her nose, each cheek bone, then looked at her, "I'm convinced it is, my sweet." And he continued by kissing her at the base of her neck and slowly kissed North until he reached her lips. They joined lips and their tongues played with each other's. Linda reached around and put her hand on Edward's bare back and pulled him in tighter.
In the mean time, Edward's hand was caressing Linda's closest leg just above the knee and slowly caressed his way up under her skirt. He stopped short.
He bent over her pelvis and kissed her mound just above her clitoris. She squirmed. He then pulled her closest knee up and toward him to spread her legs. Her silky dress skirt draped into the newly created crevice. Edward kissed, over her dress on her legs, inside her legs, around her pussy, ever circling but never going to the center. Linda was beginning to writhe on the bed. Linda was wet but it didn't show since Edward was not pressing his mouth directly against her there.
Linda whispered, almost inaudible, "take me!" But Edward didn't.
He got up and walked away! Linda was so horny she was ready to jump him but she was content to lay there and let the current feeling seep in. She didn't know why he walked away but she wasn't going to even think about it right now.
Edward walked to the food table and found the largest, ripest strawberry he could find. He took it back to the bed and lay it between her knees. Linda wasn't sure where this was going but she didn't care. Not today.
With both hands, Edward picked up Linda's dress skirt from the mid-thigh point and gently, slowly pulled it up over her so that the bottom hem played upon her thighs and pelvis as it came up. He lay it down softly on her stomach. She watched him with such love as he did this. Edward knew it and couldn't help but find her lips once more.
Then he dropped to his knees again and took the large, juicy strawberry and, placed in his fist, he squeezed out the juice while circling her pussy. It dripped on her stomach, on her mound, her upper thighs, a few drops strayed down onto her pussy.
Linda giggled lightly and smiled but the smile turned more serious as Edward began cleaning up. Again he was circling, only circling, but this time on bare skin, licking up the strawberry juice. She was now wetter than the strawberry and finally he lapped up her pussy from the bottom up very slowly with a wide, soft tongue. He circled her clitoris and and then played with it with his tongue. She writhed again.
In a few moments she whispered, more strongly now, "Fingers!" Then, almost inaudible, "Please!"
Edward lapped across her pussy in various directions and then stopped licking at all for a moment. He stuck two fingers into his mouth and got them wet with saliva, not that they needed much help. With the tips of these fingers he circled her pussy until she was practically trying to guide the fingers in by wriggling her pelvis.
Edward obliged. Linda gasped. He slid his fingers in and out very slowly, methodically. Linda spread her legs wide and writhed in rhythm with the conductor.
With his other hand, Edward gently grasped the neckline of her dress and pulled up. Linda, distracted, felt the tug and knew what to do, she lifted her arms and with the zipper already down, the top of the dress came off and he lay it also on her stomach.
Linda was not a member of the no-bra club today. Or, she was non-compliant today. Edward took his free hand and wriggled the clasp between her breasts and it flipped open, her breasts free of their twin captors. With his other hand still stroking in and out of her, he used his hands and mouth to discover her breasts, licking her taught, hard nipples and kissing her breasts all over.
In a moment he moved his efforts south, concentrating his tongue activities on her clitoris. He licked it in quick but soft strokes and his fingers found ever more speed. Linda was making different sounds now in the heat of passion. She occasionally lifted her pelvis into the air and writhed in circles.
Edward kept up his concentration and Linda began hold her pelvis into the air, feet flat on the bed, pushing upward into his hand as if to ask for more. Edward had to stand and bend slightly to keep up the licking. She went rigid. Her breathing would stop then she'd gasp for air and then stop again. And, finally as she went rigid once more, she came!
In that moment of ecstasy all the love and memories and hopes of the past many months get to know Edward again flashed through her head. She grabbed Edward by the shoulders and pulled him down upon her and in tightly. Edward lay on her for a long moment then rolled across her, pulling her on top of him and and wrapping his arms around her. She allowed her body to go limp, tucking her face into his neck and giving him the occasional kiss when her energy came back.
"I missed you!" she managed to whisper into his ear.
"Oh, I missed you, Linda!" Edward returned. They held each other more tightly and Edward rolled her to the side. They were now on their sides facing each other.
Linda put a hand on his cheek. "It really is you. Edward Rausch!"
"Linda Wagner!" Edward returned. "Can you believe it?"
"Hardly," said Linda. "I'm still pinching myself."

Deep dense love
anchored in bedrock
grounded in Earth
energizing the soil
electrifying the rain
exalting the rivers
swelling the aquifers
stirring the oceans
glorifying the meadows
calming the fauna
flirting with the flora
encouraging mountains
confusing the compass
defying calculus
befuddling logic
but viral in meaning
up through the bones
of one woman in Berlin
one man in Milwaukee
their hearts vibrating in sync
Their hearts singing
unbounded by geography
anchored to the depths
across shimmering skies

He looked over the boy beside him and out the window but could see only clouds. Thankfully only white billowy ones, not gray, dark. Though the brightness in them was definitely waning. "Soft cotton," he thought. Yellowing but still, soft cotton.
He noticed that the boy was also looking out the window. Possibly to avoid the adult's glance beside him. Eleven? Twelve years old? The boy only gave single word answers to his questions early in the flight so the interview ceased early and the napping began. Definitely German. Perhaps he feels insecure about his English. The air needed lightening a little.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you my name. It's Edward. Or, Herr Rausch, if you prefer." The boy turned slowly toward Edward. "Do you mind if I know your name?"
"No." He hesitated as if he only needed to answer the question. "My name is Heinrich" he said in a textbook kind of way.
"I'm pleased to meet you Heinrich." and Edward stuck out a hand to shake. Heinrich looked at it for a brief moment not quite knowing what to do, then, with a suppressed grin, shook hands with his new friend. "We should be descending soon, Heinrich. Do you fly much?"
"Sometimes." A long pause. "My father lives in Chicago now."
"I see. And your mother is in Deutschland?"
"Ja. I mean, yes. She is home in Berlin"
Edward tried to make the best of it: "Then it must be exciting to travel and see your father."
"I don't like flying. But my mother says that I have to go to Chicago to see him. Uh, my father. Because he will not come back to Deut... Germany." He looked at Edward carefully when saying "Germany" as if he is trying it out.
"I'm sorry...that you don't like flying. I find that it helps to talk or read a book." Edward was kicking himself for not trying harder for conversation earlier in the flight. Heinrich didn't say anything. "So, your mother will pick you up at the airport?" Heinrich seemed to be processing ...perhaps the slang.
"Nein, uh, no." She's very busy and I have ...several ...siblings who are younger than me. I. Me." He glanced at Edward's face for reaction. "She says I'm old enough to take a car...a taxi. She won't let me take the bus or train from the airport."
"I see. Your mother is very smart." trying to make the best of it.
The plane was definitely descending now. It was below the cloud cover and a beautiful sight lay before them. The sun was beginning to set and the rays lit up the mountains. The lights of hamlets outside of Berlin were beginning to glow.
Edward thought of someone and wondered what she was doing at that very moment. He pictured that lovely face of hers and heard her laugh. He imagined touching her face, "for reals" this time, not imagined. The touch of his lips on her forehead, her eyelids, her nose, her...
"Herr Rausch?" Heinrich startled Edward out of the dream.
"Yes, Heinrich?"
"You are from Chicago?"
"Actually, Milwaukee" Heard of it? Heinrich shook his head. "About two hours traveling North from Chicago."
"Are you a businessman?" It sounded like a vocabulary word from his English class.
"Well, ...no, but I'm not here on business. I'm visiting someone." Heinrich didn't say anything but you could tell that he was curious for more. Maybe he was just now ready to practice his language skills.
"Thank you for speaking English, by the way. I know little German so it's nice of you to accommodate me."
"Accomm..."
"Accommodate. It means to ...make it easy for me. You are very polite, Heinrich. Thank you, again." Heinrich tried to suppress a smile again. "I'm actually visiting a very special friend of mine. We haven't seen each other for ...a long, long time." Heinrich still didn't respond but seemed satisfied with the answers.
Before they knew it the flight attendants were giving instructions for landing. In 3 languages. Edward and Heinrich strapped in for the landing.
##########
In the shuffle of disembarking Edward and Heinrich lost track of each other and Edward couldn't detect him once on the concourse. He continued toward the baggage claim when up beside him came Heinrich.
"Heinrich! Hello." Edward showed more enthusiasm than was necessary.
"Hello." Heinrich said blankly.
Most people would likely now believe that they were traveling together. Edward thought of this and felt a little uneasy should someone Heinrich knows sees them together. But he recalled that no one was coming to retrieve him.
Surprising Edward, Heinrich began talking: "Mr. Rausch?" Edward liked that Heinrich used the term "mister" this time.
"Yes, Mr. Heinrich."
"Is your friend coming to pick up you from the airport?"
"No, unfortunately not, Heinrich. She's quite busy this evening. She sings opera and the Berlin Oper is rehearsing this evening." Edward checked his watch, "Actually, the rehearsal is now over but we knew that the timing would be tricky for her to come. She actually wanted to come but I insisted that she take her time to unwind and that I would see her at her apartment." Heinrich, listening intently, just blinked. "I guess we're both on our own, Heinrich. Are you OK getting a taxi on your own?"
Heinrich didn't seem to have to pretend to be old at this point. "Yes, but I don't remember..."
"Tell you what. I'm going to make a call. In fact, I'll tell you about the call in a moment. Then we'll go together to the taxi stand."
Heinrich smiled. Edward led him to a quieter place and He waited while Edward made a phone call. He knew from the rehearsal that Linda would probably not have been able to check the flight status. "Linda! Yes, yes, but... I am, sort of, ... Yes, I can't believe it either! But wait, there was a problem. No, no I'm quite safe." Heinrich looked up at Edward sharply and furrowed his brow. "There was fog at the airport and they redirected us to Stuttgart." Edward listened.. Yeah, I'm so sorry. I know, but they will either fly us here, I mean to Berlin tomorrow morning or put us on buses tonight. ...Yes. I know, it's awful, but it's only hours now, Dear. I'll leave you a text and if it's a flight, yes, you can come pick me up. I love you, too. See you soon. Sweet dreams. I know, I can't wait either! Bye."
Heinrich looked quite confused. "Do you not want to see your friend now?" he said.
"Above anything else...except talking to you right now." Both grinned, but Heinrich's soon faded.
"But, you said..."
"I know, but let me tell you the crazy plan I just formed. I hope it turns out all right. It could backfire."
"Backfire?"
"It could go badly instead of being a good thing. I'm going there right now anyway and I'll surprise her. I just realized, however, that I could get locked out and have to make a ruckus, uh, a disturbance? Loud noises or knocking in order to get in. It could attract a call to the police at the worst and wake up Linda at the least. Hmmm. I didn't think things through very well."
Heinrich was excited to be let in on the plan. He felt older, more important. They walked on toward the baggage claim until they realized that the other didn't have anything checked. They laughed at their mistake and moved on to the taxi stand.
It was fully dark outside now. Edward checked his watch. 10:15PM. "Hmmm, calling it close" he thought.
As they approached the taxi stand, Edward waved Heinrich on toward the woman organizing passengers and taxis. Heinrich spoke to her in German and gave his address. Edward didn't pay much attention but Heinrich was directed to the next waiting taxi. The "men" exchanged handshakes and Heinrich, apparently excited for Edward's plan, allowed a full out smile, teeth and all. Edward handed the woman a business card with Linda's contact information on it.
Heinrich said, "Good luck, Mr. Rausch."
"Thank you, Heinrich. Be safe getting the rest of your way home."
The woman spoke with a little urgency in German at Edward and pointed toward Heinrich.
"No, no, he's not with... uh, schprechen Sie English?"
The woman knew the look before the English came out. "He ist not your ?"
"No, no, we're not related."
"But you are going to the same building address!"
Edward was stunned and gaped. "Oh?"
The woman practically demanded: "You! Take the same taxi car as the boy."
"Uh, oh, sure! Thank you. Danke!"
Edward was incredulous but he stepped into the back of the taxi with Heinrich. Heinrich missed the encounter and was again confused by this American man. Edward flashed the driver the business card, then took it back.
"Mr. Rausch! You don't want to see your friend?"
Edward laughed. It was a good hard belly laugh. He was tired and this was such a funny twist of events. "Yes, above anything else...except talking to you right now." Both grinned, and Heinrich's didn't fade so soon.
"But...", started Heinrich.
"Apparently we're going to the same building, Heinrich." Edward showed him Linda's business card."
Heinrich looked astonished. Now he was the one gaping. "That's... Frau Wagner! She is your friend? I know her! I play with Ben and Alice. Frau Wagner instructs my mother in singing!"
Edward was, again, incredulous. "You got on the plane with me in Chicago..." He paused. "...and you live in the same building as ...Frau Wagner."
"My Linda" he thought.
They exchanged stories all the way to their destination. Heinrich got out an envelope with Euros but Edward tucked it back into Heinrich's shirt pocket and paid the driver.
Edward knew he was in trouble now. It was 11:15PM and Linda would have gone to bed. He's going to be locked out. "This will be interesting, Heinrich."
"Oh, yes. The ruck.."
"Ruckus. Yes."
"Oh, you need to get in? I know where they keep a key hidden!"
"Oh my... Are you sent from heaven young lad?"
Quietly, now with key, Edward walked Heinrich up to his family's apartment one floor up. His mother gave Edward a stern look but after Heinrich apparently explained who his special friend was, her face blossomed into all friendliness. She knew all about the upcoming visit and was quite happy to be in on the surprise. They all said good night and Edward said he hoped to see Heinrich again soon, at least before he leaves.
Edward went back down a floor and stood at Linda's door. He was there. "This, is Linda's door" he thought. He touched it as if it were a sacred relic. He took a few deep breaths and soaked in the realization. With Heinrich in his company, Edward hadn't time to allow this all to sink in.
He slid the key in the lock, turned the knob, and, like a mouse, let himself in.
##########
Edward stood in the entry way of Linda's apartment. There were no lights turned on. Well, no one was expecting him. That realization made his stomach drop again. He imagined Linda hearing the footsteps and grabbing a fry pan. He didn't want to bring fear into her life, despite the lovely reunion that would follow.
He waited there, not only to allow his eyes to adjust, but to take in the moment. He never thought of this when he imagined it: the scents of her home. There was nothing that came back to him but not altogether unfamiliar. Is that the ghost of a perfume she once wore?
He debated about taking the key back to its hiding place but going out the door right now might prove impossible for his body to accomplish, if not excruciating. He was not putting any more distance between he and Linda at this point! He found a hook near the door for the key that would help remind anyone who walked past there.
Linda told Edward that Edwardus had been moving out but that he was only half out and not in a particular rush about it. He was supposed to have moved his bed by today so that she and Edward could have some privacy, at least from him. Linda had two with Edwardus that lived with her. Emily, 13, a cute, carbon copy of Linda with strawberry-blonde hair and a natural musical talent. And Jack, 9, a boy through and through but with a tender, nurturing side for others, and another musician.
So, Edward was hoping that the coast was clear. He wasn't sure if a burglar-esque struggle with Edwardus or with a mom protecting her cubs would be worse.
His eyes were now adjusted to the light and in fact the moon must have been waxing favorably for this most anticipated night because a bluish light was softly illuminating various areas of the apartment he could see. He found a safe spot for his suitcase so no one would trip. He thought that this would be a good place for his shoes, too, and, after he removed them and bent over to place them near the suitcase, something licked his hand! Startled, Edward remembered Sniffles. "Oh my gosh, Sniffles! You almost gave me away!", Edward whispered. He was practically invisible but some of his white areas made him now traceable. Edward spent a few moments petting and gaining Sniffles' trust, then ...he could dawdle no more!
Edward remembered the layout of the apartment from pictures. He wasn't sure about which bedroom was Linda's but the doors were open and he could tell the ' room easily. He stepped into Linda's bedroom doorway and his heart!... He felt like it could be heard by all, it was thumping so loudly and ringing in his ears!
Linda's room was not large and the bed was in the far corner. She was only 4 steps away! She was lying on her right side, turned away from Edward, her head the furthest away from him. A light sheet was pulled up to her hip and he could see her nightgown because of the whiteness of it. The window allowed a generous amount of moonlight on the lower half of her. The blueness of the light seemed to also sparkle on the sheet but could that be from watery eyes? He was almost worried about his heart failing him but he thought "how could the gods do such a thing at such a time?"
He stepped over to the bed and there was room on the edge for him to sit. The mattress sunk when he sat but there was no reaction from Linda. He leaned over with his face near hers and closed his eyes and inhaled, drinking in her fragrance. It was about all he could stand! He placed a gentle kiss on her shoulder, then one on her arm, but still no reaction.
Edward stood up gently and removed his pants, shirt, t-shirt and socks. This time he didn't care where his belongings landed. With the precision of a burglar, he spooned in behind Linda and tucked his legs under the sheet. He felt a little like he was being weird but he reminded himself of all the two had talked about and wrote about. This was perfect. Keep going.
Linda didn't stir as he felt the skin of her legs on his. His penis began to bulge through his underwear and found a nestling place between her butt cheeks. He draped his arm over her and tucked his face into her neck and, again, breathed her in. He felt the bulge grow.
Edward knew he wouldn't be forgiven if he didn't wake her now. He propped up on his elbow, reached over her body and softly took a hand. Her's was warm and soft. He bent his head down and kissed her cheek with the feeling of all the love that the world could give.
She stirred! Without moving too much, and being very groggy, she said, "Edwardus! What..."
Edward whispered in her ear, "I'm afraid it's the American this time."
What happened next could only be appreciated by seeing. There were several steps that took place but they happened in a few split seconds. This is a choreographed breakdown of what happened. Linda's head flashed up, not looking around but toward the wall away from Edward, as if she were thinking a moment, waking up, processing. It finally (0.6 seconds?) hit her who's voice it belonged to, someone she was dearly expecting but also not expecting tonight.
Once the realization hit Linda she instantly sprung up to a sitting position but still very temporarily turned away from Edward. The motion began an off-balance condition in Edward's body. Linda then twisted around so that her front turned toward the foot of the bed and then toward Edward. During this motion her arms went up in the air presumably to come down around Edward.
In the mean time, during those motions, Edward was on his way to the floor as the initial lift of Linda unbalanced him and her twist made recovery impossible. Linda appeared to take all of this in stride as she, while in the same ballet of motion, dived down after the falling Edward.
When the dust settled, Edward was on his back and Linda was partially on top of him with her face smothering him with kisses. At this point, their bodies made a V shape. Edward's left arm was under her and he pulled her body in tight. He couldn't see anymore. His eyes were full of tears. When Edward pulled her in Linda stopped kissing him and buried her face in his neck and squeezed for her life. "Edward!," she said, "Edward!" Edward felt her tears dripping on his neck.
They both took that in for a few frozen moments but Edward sensed Linda laughing. At least he thought it might until there was a pause, followed by a huge inhale, and then sobbing. Oh, what sobbing! Edward was on the edge already and he started sobbing. Their shaking sometimes was in sync and sometimes bounced them against each other. Eventually the sobbing stopped and Linda raised her head for the first real look at Edward. Sort of. Her eyes were too wet to truly see and they were out of the direct moonlight. But she didn't need to see an I.D., she knew it in her bones.
Edward said, "Do you ravage every burglar that enters your house? How could you know it was me?" Linda didn't even answer the question. She dived for the lips. She turned her head one way, then the other to avoid his nose. Edward let his hands roam over her back and shoulders, savoring her skin. "Linda Wagner!" he thought.
Once the lips were thoroughly covered, Linda began work on the rest of Edward's face. Edward tasted the saltiness of her tears mixed with saliva. He was really turned on by this combination. After a few minutes of gentle kisses Linda allowed her head to drop into Edward's neck again. She allowed it to completely relax into him. The shock of waking up so physically and tackling this man in her bedroom was finally allowed to take hold. Edward could feel the release and coveted the feeling of trust that suggested. With their mouths so close to each other's ears, they finally thought about words again.
Linda's whisper sounded so gentle, so innocent, "I missed you."
"I know," Edward said back, "I miss..."
"No. I mean for almost 15 years, I missed you." The shaking began again, the sobbing.
Edward said tenderly "Hey, hey there!" and squeezed her into him. She moved her body around on him so that they had as much contact as possible and she let him squeeze her into him, going nearly limp. Linda wanted to be part of him, inside of him.
A lot of communication happened during that silent floor time. But to drive it home, Linda raised up her head and shoulders and leaned on her elbows, which were on Edward. Edward thought it was cute that she did that and he didn't want it any other way. He wanted all of her he could get right now.
Linda said, "I won't do that again. I promise." Her eyes were like lasers on his. Still glassy from tears but the intensity was not in question.
Edward didn't need to ask what this was about. "I know, Dear. I..."
"No, I mean it. I'm not ..."
"Linda! I know! I can feel it. You don't have to tell me." Edwards eyes started this time. No sobbing though. "If you really have to say it, go ahead, but to me it's just blah, blah, blah." I know it in my heart, in my gut." Then quietly, "You're mine now."
Linda dived again for the lips. Edward didn't protest. They made out, very tenderly; not the ravaging kind. Just gently and covering a lot of face, neck and shoulders. Linda finally noticed how nearly naked Edward was. She grinned widely. "You must have looked cute getting off the plane like that. Surely you didn't just take all that off before getting into bed with me!" she teased.
"Customs makes big demands these days. But they saw my bulge and waived me through."
Linda laughed. The laugh was a release, of sorts, too, as she was worried about their first encounter and she allowed it to pour out of her. It was contagious and Edward joined in. They slowly peeled their bodies off the floor and stood up. They faced each other. Linda cupped Edward's hands in hers and put them up between their chests and leaned in on them. She looked up into his eyes, much clearer this time, with the ambient moonlight bouncing off the sheets.
"I'm so glad you're here. Don't leave. Don't ever, ever leave."
Edward smiled.
"I'm serious," she said.
"That's why I'm smiling," Edward said back. "Those words make me so happy to hear. We'll discuss that topic, but not now. Not for at least a few days. We've got too much work to do."
"Work?," Linda questioned. She took his hands and pulled them around her waist. He gladly obliged and she put her arms around him. She laid the side of her face on his chest.
Edward said, "Well, there's all the catching up to do. That will require a lot of walking, sitting, eating ice cream, and lying in bed." Edward could feel Linda's grin on his chest. "Then," he continued,
"Wait, How'd you get in the apartment?," Linda interrupted.
"You wouldn't believe who my flying companion was." Linda thought... "He's quite the handsome fellow and seemed to know a lot about you." Linda looked puzzled. Edward continued, "We're good buds now, Heinrich and me."
"Ohhhh, of course!," said Linda. "I totally forgot about his return. I was anticipating someone else's arrival." She gave him the sweetest look. "But, still. How did..."
"He knows about the secret key..."
"Of course. Of course." Her face suddenly brightened and her brow furrowed. "Wait a minute! What's this about a flight change?! You little..." She reached around and patted his behind. She looked in thought for a little bit, apparently putting all the pieces back together. "You were saying something about work we had to do."
"Ah, yes, then there is a lot of exploratory work we need to do. For instance, this gown-thingy will have to come off at some point and I need to do a thorough inspection." Linda was beaming through her pretend look of disinterest.
"Um, just what is it that you're looking for, Herr Inspector?
"I never know until I find it. You'll just have to trust my credentials."
Linda came back: "Yes, I will be inspecting those credentials quite closely!" They both laughed.
"Then there comes the most ...intrusive part. There's a probing technique that we'll have to perform over a series of appointments. It could take days, weeks, who really knows?"
"Well, you should, Herr Inspector. And, how much is this going to cost me?," said Linda.
In an official voice, Edward said "I will expect free lodging for the time of my stay. In addition to that..." Edward looked into his patient's eyes. His smile faded but the eyes still smiled. His voice went back to Edward's normal one and very tenderly and quietly said, "In addition to that, I require you to love me." There was little time between "...love me." and Linda diving for the lips again.
As they kissed they maneuvered over to the bed and laid down together. At first they were facing each other. Linda stopped kissing and said, "Hey, I want you to spoon me like you were when you got here. That was you, wasn't it?"
"See? You didn't even know!"
Linda took out her pretend anger by making it appear that her turning around was more for the cold shoulder than for spooning. She, at first, kept her distance. Edward edged over close, at least his head and said, "Please, may I, Dear?" She looked back with a grin and they snuggled in deep. It was even better than when Edward first got into bed because Linda, too, was helping to fill in any gap with skin and pressure. It felt heavenly.
Linda turned her head up slightly and reached her hand back behind her head and pulled Edward's face close. She needn't have done so but the gesture was part of the beauty of this moment.
Edward perked up, "Hey, I didn't even think about the . I'm surprised we haven't woken them."
"Oh, they're staying up a floor with the Gerhardt's. It's a family that...oh, ...Heinrich's family!"
"Ah, yes. Heinrich. What a great . You were really thinking ahead weren't you?," said Edward.
Linda: "I was so disappointed when you hung up with me from the airport--apparently the Berlin airport," she said with sarcasm. "I didn't want you to hear the disappointment in my voice. I cried and went next door to speak to my friend Margaret about it. I know it's silly. You were still coming, but I was counting down the hours for over two months now."
"Oh my. I'm so sorry, Dear! I really wasn't thinking ..."
"No! You actually didn't get here any later than you would have. I just had to mope around for a while. That's why I went to bed when I did."
They considered this as they spooned. They savored the body heat and who it was coming from. Edward kissed what he could reach without losing too much bodily contact. It must have been 1:00AM by now. In a few minutes, the emotional exhaustion got the best of them both and they were sleeping.
It was about 2:15AM when Linda's eyes gently opened. She felt a surge of disappointment at the thought of, ...No! It wasn't a dream! She smiled when she remembered who was actually embracing her right now. Edward's arms were limp and she moved the top one, his left, back out of her way and she turned to face him. She could hardly believe it was true. She put her right hand on his cheek and reached in and touched the most gentlest kisses on his lips. Edward's eyes opened and he smiled.
"It's you!," he said.
Linda could have given a funny answer but she had something else on her mind. In a whisper she said "Touch me, Edward." Edward couldn't decide if it sounded more like a command or an invitation. He placed his hand, first on her cheek, mirroring her. "Everywhere," she added. Edward got the hint and allowed himself the pleasure of exploring a body he fantasized about for years before they resumed their recent connection. He roller her over onto her back and he moved in close. He leaned up and kissed her eyelids, then her lips.
Meanwhile his hands were exploring her breasts and she let out a sigh. Her left hand didn't have to reach while she touched his now bulging crotch. She slid her hand up and down, rubbing. Now Edward let out a sigh, with a hint of a groan.
Edward took Linda's right shoulder strap and pulled it down, exposing her breast and leaned in with a wet tongue on her nipple. A gasp escaped from Linda. She plunged her hand down into Edward's underwear and gently stroked. Edward licked circles around Linda's nipple and then sucked on it. With his left hand he caressed his way down her body. She tremored involuntarily has he reached her panty line. He then reached down and pulled up her gown. The moonlight shown on the small mound of her public bone that really turned him on and he could feel his wetness smearing over Linda's hand.
Involuntary moaning began as she stroked and Edward ever so lightly touched Linda's clitoris over the top of her panties. He allowed his finger to slide down the middle of her as she spread her legs for him. She was now wet, too, and beginning to writhe.
Linda made no bones about pushing Edwards underwear down. Soon his penis was free from clothing and interested in probing other areas. Linda was clearly enjoying the touch and her panties were very wet now. Edward asked, because he finds this question erotic, "Please let me take your panties off."
Linda responded with the briefest of a smile showing between the concentration of enjoyment, "Yes, please take off my panties." Edward didn't hesitate to move, but he did not take them off right away. He buried his face in her crotch and opened and closed his mouth around her clitoris. She moaned, more loudly than ever but still controlled. Edward then laid down one long, wide, slow lick on top of per panties. Another moan. This time he didn't wait for the panties, he pulled them to the side and felt her wet pussy with the same long, wide, slow lick. This time they both moaned.
Linda, through some kind of universal touch, maneuvered Edward around and began to lick his penis. He stopped what he was doing for a moment and took that sensation in. Both of them were somewhere else, anywhere else but they were definitely together. Perhaps it was Heaven.
Linda wanted Edward now. There would be time for more of this kind of burning foreplay later but she needed him in a different way. "Edward! I want you ...now. Please" Edward's heart nearly burst at this request. He wriggled his tongue one last time inside her vagina and turned his body around. He slowly and satisfyingly pulled down Linda's panties, down her thighs...he kissed her legs as he went. Down her calves...to her ankles. And off. Linda watched and enjoyed Edward's enjoyment of this task.
Linda positioned herself on her side and said, "Face me, like this." Edward obliged and lay down in front of her, slightly below her in order to get a good angle. He hesitated and looked meaningfully at Linda. She knew the look and gave it back with a smile. A quick peck on the lips and they joined together. They now knew for sure. This *is* heaven. This is it. There is nothing else. One plus two, the best equation in the universe.
Edward slid slowly in and out of Linda, sometimes popping out and allowing motion to find their way together again. After one of this slides back in, Edward grabbed Linda and pulled her in as hard as he could within reason. Linda made a sound that rang of delight, of contentment. Slowly the motion picked up again and sped up and up. Both were gasping for air and touching each other's faces and beside themselves in joy. Soon they climaxed...together. and they slowed down the motion and, after a minute, stopped. Edward remained inside Linda and they embraced again.
They held one another with such a feeling of adoration and love. After almost 15 years they were back...together. Finally.
Linda said, "Welcome home, Love."
Edward smiled, "It's good to be back."
