I sat up and beamed at him. “Yeah,” I said, nodding. “It really has.”
“Well, I’m excited to have you, Jamie.”
A shiver of delight seemed to run through my chest, and I could feel my heart beating fast as I went red.Have me?
“I mean, on my team,” Eric said quickly. But we both knew why he’d slipped up.
I reached across and put my hand on his. I wanted to inhale him, the sweet scent of his cologne, everything about him. I reached towards him, and we kissed.
The feeling of his lips pressed up against me sent an electric warmth through my body. There was nothing I’d ever felt like that kiss: nothing could have prepared me for the way my body seemed to float on air as he wrapped his strong, muscular arms around me and held me to him while the sweet taste of his lips set my soul on fire. It was so much, too much, and I knew that if I lingered there in his embrace a second longer …
I pulled away, breathing hard.
“Are you okay?” said Eric, nervously. I could see he was anxious that he’d done something wrong, that he’d taken advantage. I wanted to run away. I wanted to leave. But I couldn’t do that to him. Not after he’d been so kind.
And besides, I wanted to tell him.
“Eric, I like you. I really do, but there’s something you need to know.”
Eric raised an eyebrow. I thought the tension would disappear and suddenly it would become awkward. But his dark, low voice held my attention all the same.
“You have a boyfriend?”
I shook my head. “I’ve never had a boyfriend.”
“Well, that’s okay. It’s the 21stCentury, after all. You’re allowed to be focused on your career.”
“It’s not that!” I said, and I could hear the tension in my voice.
“I mean,” I said, “that I’ve never … been with anyone.”
Eric’s eyes narrowed, and then I could see him realize.
“Oh,” he said.
“I’m sorry,” I replied.
“What are you sorry for?” he said, and I saw his dark eyebrows knit themselves into an expression of curiosity and faint irritation.
“It’s just … I like you, only I’ve never …”
“You don’t have to be sorry about that,” he said. “Even if it is a little … unusual for a girl your age.”
“I guess I’ve just never wanted to be with anyone like that,” I said.
“No?”
“No, not until now.”
The words left my mouth. I felt like they were heavy and made of iron, crashing to the floor. There was silence in the room. I looked up into Eric’s face, and before I knew it, I’d lifted my head while my hand rested on his chest. I kissed him, and he kissed me.
I’d been kissed before, but not like this. I felt the overwhelming size and weight of Eric bearing down on me, and before I knew it, I was lost in his lips and his mouth, as I felt his sweet breath pass over my body and he growled hungrily while holding my head in his hands. It was a sensation at once electrically exciting and incredibly peaceful. Before I knew what was even happening to me, I was pushing back against him, feeling his strong arms close around my body. I felt like he was drawing me into him, that I could disappear if I lingered long enough on this kiss, eyes closed, helplessly, wonderfully trapped in the moment.
Slowly, Eric lowered me onto the couch, and gently I felt him climb over me. I could smell the scent of his cologne and the starch in his white shirt; everything about him was crisp and immaculate. In the light of the enormous brass lamp in the suite and the fireplace, I could see flickering shadows crossing his sharp features before I felt something big and strong pressing against me from inside his suit pants.
My eyes opened wide, and I realized I wanted it, that I wanted to have sex with him. My heart opened at the want, and before I knew it, the want was circling my whole body, whirling and making me dizzy, as I fell completely under his power.
As his body rested on me, Eric wrapped a hand in my hair, and I felt safe and protected as he reached lower and lower until his hand was pressed up against my underwear and I realized that I was wet for him, soaking through the fabric of my panties. He smiled, and I felt wonderful to have thrilled him with my arousal. Just like the way the bulge in his pants was thrilling to me too.
