Page 136 of Happy Hour

She said nothing but smiled at my confession, her fingers threading in my hair, a reminder she wanted everything I was giving her.

Sway was determined to move faster and I had to keep reminding her to slow down. I wish I could say I was perfectly fine and that I wasn’t scared to death about what was supposed to be happening. But I was. I was unsure and scared. I was nervous and fumbling. I had never made love to someone and I wasn’t really sure how to.

This wasn’t fucking anymore and this wasn’t friends with benefits. I needed to show myself to her in the most intimate ways and that really did scare the shit out of me.

She watched me moving above her, trying to appear calm and collected even though I wasn’t. My body was trembling all over, my breathing was shaky, my heart pounding.

You’d think I’d never had sex before but really, I’d never hadthistype of sex before.

Melting into her, all my fears broke through the surface. “Tell me,” I begged her. “Please...tell me...”

“I love you,” she whispered against my lips as they brushed over mine.

She reassured me over and over again as our bodies moved together. Our eyes stayed connected the entire time. There was a hunger in her eyes but there was also trepidation.

The fact that she seemed just as nervous assured me this was new to her too.

I closed my eyes and relished in the sensation of her warm body beneath me, our bodies moving slowly in the most intimate way, even with our steady breathing.

Bending forward, I kissed her forehead and pulled her closer. I was going to hold on to her as long as I could.

Before long, I couldn’t hold back much longer. I was losing the battle quickly and Sway was determined to push me faster and faster until finally she just blurted it out squirming underneath me.

“Go...faster...” she moaned. “Faster.”

My stomach tightened in preparation. “I can’t...” I grunted reaching for a tighter hold on her. “If I go faster...I’ll come.”

“I will too...just go faster...please.” She begged with a whimper.

I couldn’t stop now, my forehead fell to hers and it was over. I completely lost any will I had and let go when she begged me. I couldn’t even focus; my body was shaking embarrassingly so along with my heavy panting. I was a mess.

The rush consumed everything, the pleasure, the reminder that she was finally mine, left me breathless. Not more than a mere second later, Sway was moaning my name. Thankfully, my bedroom is on the third floor and no one could hear us up here, with the sounds coming from this woman you’d think I was killing her.

Staying true to my word, I didn’t stop until Sway had literally passed out. She was lying on her stomach with her hands curled under the pillow her head rested on.

On my side next to her, I watched as her back rise and fall with each breath she took, my fingers gently tracing over her glowing skin.

I kept asking myself how I had gotten so lucky.

I didn’t want to move, think, or feel anything but her, as if she would disappear. Everything was so perfect, right here in my room.

When the sun began to rise, basting the room in a soft orange glow, I pulled Sway closer.

She sighed contently and snuggled in. Sway had this way of worming herself into my arms in the middle of the night without me noticing but when I awoke, I was always surprised at how close she was, not that I was complaining.

“I don’t want to screw this up.” I suddenly blurted out running my fingers through her dark hair.

“What?” Sway twisted in my arms to loop up at me.

Tracing my fingertips lightly up her shoulder, and then over her collarbone I told her my fears. “This...you...us...I don’t want to screw it up.”

“Okay, so don’t.” she ventured kissing my lips.

“I don’t know what I’m doing.” I hinted crushing her against my chest. “I’m not sure how good I’ll be at this.”

She giggled when I crushed her against my chest.

“What’s going on with you?” she soothed running her hands up and down my spine, her gentle touch was relaxing but not enough.
