Jack's mind conjured up an image of Edith, not as the wise and nurturing grandmother he had known all his life, but as a woman of flesh and blood, her naked form bathed in the soft glow of the candle. He could almost feel the softness of her skin under his fingertips, the gentle curve of her hip, the softness of her breasts.
His hand stole under the covers, his own touch a poor imitation of the warmth he had felt just moments before.
As his hand moved down, his cock grew hard, straining against the fabric of his pants. He closed his eyes, letting out a low moan as he gripped it, his thoughts a whirlwind of lustful images. He stroked himself in time with the rhythm of his racing heart, each touch a silent echo of the passion that had ignited in the garden.
It was a secret dance, one that he had only ever shared with the shadows of his own imagination. But now, the lines between fantasy and reality were blurred, the walls of his imagination breached by the woman who had been a constant in his life.
The clock chimed midnight, its solemn tolls a reminder of the time that was slipping through their fingers. The house was quiet, the only sound the distant ticking of the grandfather clock that seemed to mock him with its steadfast loyalty to the passage of hours. Jack knew he should be asleep, should be lost in the oblivion of dreams, but his body was alive with a need that demanded to be satiated.
His thoughts and lust had crossed the boundary that he, well aware, should not have crossed. His imagination once a dreamlike world conjured by his curiosity was being manifested as a vivid reality. This made him even more bold; he wanted nothing more than to light the fire from the sparks that had already set.
With trembling hands, he unlocked the door to his grandmother's bedroom, his heart racing like a wild stallion. The room was a sanctuary of silk and lace, the heavy curtains drawn tight against the prying eyes of the moon.
Edith lay in bed, the soft light of a single candle casting her in a ghostly pallor, her white hair a halo upon the pillow. The sight of her brought a fresh wave of desire, a hunger that had only grown with the passing of time.
Jack approached her with the stealth of a cat, his eyes never leaving hers. Her eyes fluttered open, revealing the depths of a secret ocean, a silent confession of the desires that mirrored his own. Without a word, she reached for him, her hand warm and sure as it found his cheek. Her touch was a promise, a silent invitation that sent shivers down his spine.
The candle on the nightstand cast a flickering dance of shadows across the room, painting their bodies in a mesmerizing display of light and dark. Edith's nightgown clung to her in a way that suggested the contours of her form, hinting at the hidden landscape of her desires. She sat up slowly, the fabric slipping down to reveal the swell of her breasts, the darkened peaks of her nipples standing proud against the pale skin.
Jack felt his breath hitch, his pulse pounding in his ears as he took in the sight before him. He had seen her in various stages of undress before, but this was different. This was a revelation, a sacred exposure of the woman who had cradled him and read him stories, who had wiped his tears and scolded his childish antics. Now, she was a creature of the night, her eyes dark pools of yearning that reflected the candle's flame.
