I was ready.
As ready as I would ever be.
Now it was time to find Calvin.
A glass of wine would have done nicely, but it would only make Cal suspicious of what else I might be taking. So instead of going left to the kitchen and wine cooler, I turned right at the bottom of the stairs. After a big deep breath, I stepped forward, one foot in front of the other until I stood in the middle of the sunny living room staring at a bank of all black monitors.
Not here.
I found Cal with his eyes glued to a bank of monitors. I tapped on the doorframe to get his attention, my heart pounding so loudly I could barely hear my footsteps on the tile floor. “Hey.”
Cal looked up with a smile. “Hey…what’s up?” The death of his smile was enough to kill any girl’s confidence, but the desire in his eyes was harder to hide.
“Not much. Just came to see what you were up to.” I shrugged, suddenly feeling uncertain. Unsure of myself. “I thought maybe you wanted to hang out.”
Cal nodded slowly, giving me a long, hard stare that was hot enough to torch my skin. Those green eyes took in the red lace, the cleavage and legs on display, but his expression revealed nothing of what he was thinking.
“Uh, sure. But you don’t have to do…this.” One hand motioned to my mostly naked body.
I took a few more steps into his computer cave. “I know I don’t have to, but I want to. You ever think of that?” Arms folded defensively, I stared at Cal to let him know that this decision was mine. Only mine.
“I haven’t thought about anything else for weeks, Bon, you know that.” He stood but didn’t move from behind the large desk. “Christ, are you sure about this?”
“About this? No.” I let out a laugh that was part bitter and part amused. “But I am sure that I’m tired of being a virgin. I’m tired of missing out on the fun and all the things I want because it isn’t the right thing to do. I want to go after something, for once. Just for me. You.” The words rushed out of my mouth, another sign of my nerves.
His lips twitched before a full smile formed from cheek to cheek. “All right. You’re sure.” His hands spread wide, giving me the perfect view of his lean frame in nothing but low-slung jeans and a soft white t-shirt. Then he let his hands fall to his sides. “So, what now?”
I shrugged and took another step forward, feeling my confidence and strength return. Sort of. “You’re the one with experience in these things…you tell me.” I kept moving toward him, but slowly, to quell the racing in my chest, giving my confidence a chance to work her magic.
Cal’s smile brightened like the sun as he rounded the desk, the clear beautiful look in his eyes darkening to near black the closer her got. “Does that mean you’re going to follow my lead? Because I gotta be honest, Bonnie, you suck at listening. Following directions.”
My own lips twitched at his too true words. I dipped my head and looked up at him beneath my lashes. “Then I hope you’re a really good teacher, Calvin.” A few more steps and there was barely a whisper between us, especially when I sucked in a deep breath, bringing hard nipples close to the soft cotton of his t-shirt.
“Oh, I am. In fact, I’m a damn good teacher.” Cal closed the distance between us and in the next moment, his lips crashed down on mine. His kiss was hard and demanding at first, like he was as hungry for me as I was for him. For this.
The kiss was better, hotter than all the others. I knew because it set my body on fire. Actual flames licked at my skin as my blood heated my whole body from the inside with every slide of his tongue across my lips, every taste of his mouth on my own tongue.
It was intoxicating.
That was exactly what it was, intoxicating, and I found myself so drunk on his kisses that I let go. I completely and totally…let go. My body was not my own as Cal’s mouth went from my mouth to the line of my jaw and down my neck. I was nothing but an instrument that he played beautifully, eliciting the most embarrassing sounds from me with every touch of his hands and his mouth. “Cal.”
He chuckled and looked up at me, eyes shining with a look even I could recognize. Male satisfaction. “Fuck, Bonnie, you’re beautiful,” he growled as he removed one strap and then the other of my negligee until the red lace slid slowly down my body, ending silently in a soft fold at my feet. “So goddamn beautiful.”
