Her eyes shot up, her brow furrowing as she tried to make sense of what I was saying.
“Then what do you want?”
I wish I had the right answer to that. She would freak out if I told her I wanted her. I couldn’t blow this opportunity.
“To talk?”Great job, answer as a question. Smooth. If she didn’t remember what an idiot I was before she would now.
She opened the door and stepped inside. Walking a few feet in she grabbed a pair of fuzzy slippers. Kicking her shoes off she replaced them with the slippers.
“Talk about what? We talked all afternoon didn’t we?”
Thinking fast, I tried to replay every conversation we had.
“You never told me you had brothers before.”
Straight shot to getting between someone’s legs. Talk about their siblings. Jesus this was more embarrassing than watching a preteen ask someone out.
“Two. Jason and Brennan. Anything else you need to know?”
I closed the door behind me. There was one question that had been like a dagger to my heart for two years. One I wanted an answer so damn bad for it hurt. It wasn’t the time to blurt it out.Yet as my mouth opened, the words forced their way into the space between us with no remorse.
“Can I kiss you?”
She spun around, eyes widened, and her face drained of color.
“What?”
I stepped closer to her, pinning her back to the wall behind her. My hand drew up to push a lock of her hair out of the way. It planted itself on the side of her head as I leaned in closer.
“Do you have a boyfriend Hannah?”
“No.” There was a tremor in her voice even with such a small word being uttered.
“So there’s no one I’m going to have to answer to if I do this?”
I watched as her jaw clenched and she swallowed down hard. Her eyes closing slowly as she answered.
“No one.”
“So I’m going to ask again can I kiss you?”
Her head moved up and down in slow motion.
Taking my free hand I drew it up to cradle her chin. Tilting her head, we both moved closer. The tension between us building like a thick fog over the meadow. Two years of want finally going to be fulfilled. It was slow, very calculated, as we pressed our lips together. I didn’t want to push her into something she didn’t want. If I took what I really desired from her there would be no turning back for me.
As her tongue traced my lips, I knew she wanted more. I was eager to oblige. Opening my mouth enough to part my lips, our tongues teased, begging each other for more. We were still being so gentle, almost afraid to let the thick fog lure us into it. Once you were in the middle there was no way to tell what direction you were going in. Drawing my hips back, I didn’t need her to feel how hard such a simple kiss from her made me.
Her hands wrapped themselves around my neck. One hand rose into my hair and I almost melted right there. Trying my hardest I kept my hands at an acceptable level of her body. Despite wanting to touch more of her. I wanted all of her right now.
The kiss seemed to last forever. Yet, when we finally parted, it wasn’t long enough. Blinking back at her I leaned in for another small kiss. One that said so much without words.
“We have a long day tomorrow.” Her voice was low and uncertain. Like she wanted me to stay but didn’t want to ask.
“We do. I should probably go.”With great dismay she was right. As much as I would love to worship her body right now we had a lot to do tomorrow. Taking this kiss any further would be irresponsible.
“I’ll Uh, see you tomorrow I guess.”
Backing away I didn’t want to leave. My feet wanted to stay firmly planted in the room with her. The only silver lining was that I would get to spend a good deal of tomorrow near her. After that kiss, I couldn’t imagine she wouldn’t want to talk and maybe kiss again. Because all I could think about right now was nipping at those plump cherry pillows.
