"I will not permit it, Madam," Captain Gregg thundered as he paced
back and forth. "This bed has been here since the first night I spent onboard
this vessel. It has lasted over a hundred years and will survive a hundred
more. Has it not served you well, Mrs. Muir?" He stopped his pacing and
faced Carolyn. "Has it not served us both well?"
Carolyn tried not to blush. Yes, she and Daniel had put many miles on
the bed in the months since they had discovered they could touch. Making
love with Daniel was much better than it had ever been with Bobby, even in
the early days of their marriage. She sometimes wondered how she
compared to the other women Daniel had been with. She tried to tell herself
it shouldn't matter, those women were all dead, as was Bobby. She belonged
with Daniel.
"Yes, Captain," she replied, "It is a very fine bed, and yes, it has
served us well, but it is getting somewhat worn out. For a ghost you
certainly have quite a bit of energy," she teased.
The Captain smiled one of his rare smiles that put a sparkle in his blue
eyes. He took Carolyn's hand in his and pulled her close to him. How he
loved the feel of her in his arms! He loved to undress her, to see her lovely
body revealed just for him, to caress her perfect breasts, feeling the nipples
harden into taut peaks, to taste the moistness between her thighs, hear her
cry out as he sent her over the edge, exploding in ecstacy. "A lot of that has
to do with the woman," he whispered as he brought his lips to hers.
He always tasted like the sea, as if it was still a part of him after all the time that had
passed. Carolyn parted her lips to allow entrance of his tongue. She was so caught up in kissing
Daniel that she didn't notice that one of his hands had slipped under her skirt and under the
elastic of her panties. His fingers gently caressed her, making her wet and ready for him.
Daniel ended the kiss and whispered, "I love you," as he undressed her. Carolyn moaned
softly at the feel of his caresses. It had never been like this with Bobby, not even in the
beginning. He had never taken the time to slowly undress her and kiss her body as if she was the
most precious thing in the world. Only Daniel did that and she felt blessed to be able to share
herself with him.
He led her to the bed and laid her down. He kissed her throat, traveling down to her
breasts. Her nipples were hard and ached for the touch of his mouth. He caressed one with his
mouth and then the other, making them even harder than before. "Now, please," Carolyn moaned
and Daniel quickly undressed.
He entered her slowly and they lay together for a long moment, neither moving, just
relishing the feel of each other. Then, slowly he began to move, making sure she could feel every
inch of him inside her. She held him tight, urging him to go faster as desire welled up inside her.
She was very close now, she could feel it, just out of reach. She thrust back at him and cried out
as she found her release. He joined her a moment later and then held her close as they recovered.
"Still think we need a new bed, my dear?" he asked.
"At least a new mattress," she replied. "I think this one has too many miles on it."
The next morning, Carolyn drove to Bangor to purchase a new mattress. She found one
that she could afford and was very comfortable. The salesman assured her that it could stand up
to lots of wear and tear. She had explained that she had two very active children and wanted a
mattress that wouldn't break down if they jumped on it. It was a plausible excuse. She certainly
wasn't going to tell a complete stranger that she had an active sex life with a ghost! That was
something she hadn't told anyone, although she was sure that Martha and perhaps Claymore
suspected it.
The mattress was delivered that afternoon. As it was Friday, the children were spending
the night with friends and Martha had a date with Ed and didn't expect to return home until late.
That would give Carolyn and Daniel plenty of time to break in the new bed.
Carolyn hadn't been this excited on her honeymoon. She had never felt a yearning for
Bobby that she did for Daniel.

Martha had made lobster newburg and chocolate cake for their dinner. After they finished
eating, they went upstairs to their room to share a glass of Madeira before "testing" the new
mattress.
Neither spoke as they made their way to the bed. They kissed slowly as they undressed
each other. Daniel gently laid Carolyn on the bed and whispered, "I love you," as he explored her
body with his hands and mouth. He kissed her breasts, teasing the hard nipples with his tongue,
making Carolyn shiver in delight. One hand slipped down between her thighs, gently probing,
feeling the moisture there that told him she wanted him as much as he wanted her.
"Please," she begged. "I need you now." There would be time later to play and explore.
Right now she wanted to feel him inside her.
Withdrawing his hand, he entered her slowly, almost teasingly, until he was fully within
her. They lay together for a moment, just reveling in the feel of each other's bodies. Making love
had never been this wonderful with anyone else and knowing that no one else had ever shared
this bed before made it all the more special.
Slowly, he began to move within her and she held him as the feelings grew within her.
She moved with him as he began to move faster. He had one hand on her breast and the other on
her hip as they moved as one entity. She wrapped her legs around his hips and her hands were
around his neck as she silently urged him to go faster, to push them both over the edge.
She cried out as the feeling burst within her. She felt as if her whole body was melti
mer
merging with his, making them one. He joined her a moment later, filling her with himself.
Afterward, they lay tangled together, sharing gentle caresses and soft, lingering kisses. "I
think this mattress needs to be exercised a bit more, my dear," Daniel said.
"I do believe you're right," Carolyn replied.
And so they spent much more time breaking in the new mattress and by morning both
agreed that it had been worth it all.

The End!
