Simone’s Notes:

Pillow talk is the relaxed, intimate conversation that often occurs between two sexual partners after the act of coitus, usually accompanied by cuddling, caresses, and other physical intimacy. It is associated with honesty, sexual afterglow, and bonding, and is distinguished from dirty talk which usually forms part of foreplay. Pillow talk, more broadly may also refer to conversations between parties that may be of a more casual and flirting nature, and are not necessarily engaged in a physical relationship. A line of research done on pillow talk has revolved around the hormone known as oxytocin. This “bonding hormone” is related to other effects, such as decreasing stress, decreasing perceptions of social threat, increasing bonding, and increasing the ability to read emotional cues. This hormone has been known to increase in the body proceeding sexual activity between two people that have reached the point of orgasm. The individuals involved in this act of coitus can benefit from this process by opening up in a sense of communication and trust. A study done by Amanda Denes (2012), shows that partners who orgasm are more likely to engage in the act of pillow talk versus partners who do not orgasm.

Daphine turned to Roy in bed. “What’s happening to us?”

Roy raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“What’s happening to us in general?”

“I have no idea.”

“People keep disappearing around the city.”

“Is that so?”

“Mostly women.”

Mustang smirked. “Are you saying that you are afraid?”

The nurse resisted the urge to laugh. “Of course I’m not!”

He pulled her into his arms. “I think it’s cute.” She rolled her eyes ae she tried not to snicker. “What?”

“I’m not cute.”

“Foxy, then.”

“Thank you.”

“But seriously, what’s wrong with being cute?”

Daphine shrugged. “It’s just not me.”

“Why is that?”

“I’m just not.”

“You know, you can be strange at times.” Daphine frowned as she smacked him in the side.

“Ow,” Mustang said. “What was that for?”

“You kind of deserved that,” she said.

“Why?”

“You called me strange.”

“I didn’t mean it like that.”

“Sounded that way.”

Mustang chuckled. “Okay, I’m sorry.”

The nurse kissed him on the bridge of his nose. “You are forgiven.”

He grabbed her by the ass. “I won’t believe you until you say it.”

His girlfriend frowned. “Are you serious?”

“Come on.”

“Do I have to?”

“Say it.” Mustang groped her on the ass as he nibbled on her neck. The nurse sighed and dropped her shoulders.

“Fine. I love you.”

“Say it like you mean it.” He squeezed her by the waist.

“I love you!”

He gave her a small kiss on his lips. “I love you too.”

“Yeah, yeah.” The morning won’t be so sweet and easy as their pillow talk.
