I took her chin and dragged her towards me, meeting her full lips in a sweet, long, gentle kiss. Before, kisses had been urgent, passionate, raw; desperate to get to the next level.
This was new.
This was soft, searching, full of meaning and promise.
Rosie threaded her hands through my hair, and pulled me close, moaning into my mouth.
My hands moved to her dress, sliding it off her shoulders, exposing her breasts. She gasped against me as I took a nipple between my fingers and rolled it around, my other hand cupping her arse, tugging her towards my crotch. Her fingernails dug into my shoulders, before slipping down and yanking my shirt open. Involuntarily, I drew back. A playful smile played across her lips, making me growl with desire.
Taking a step back, Rosie shimmied out of the dress, letting it pool on the floor around her ankles, before kicking it away. She stood there, naked but for a tiny pair of lace panties. I swallowed hard. It wasn’t the only thing that was hard. My cock strained against the fly of my jeans and I didn’t know how much longer I could wait before being inside her.
I no longer needed to wait.
We were together now, there was no need to play games.
I dipped into the back pocket of my jeans, and located my wallet to find a condom, then struggled out of my clothes. Damn, a hot erection made it more difficult than it needed to be.
“Scott…”
One word was all the invitation I needed. I pushed her back onto the bed, spreading her legs and ripping those delicate knickers from her body. Without saying anything else, I skimmed my fingers over her clit, then along her slit, feeling how wet she was already.
“Please, I want to feel you inside me.” Rosie lifted her hips, wriggling around impatiently underneath my touch.
“Patience, all good things come to those who wait.”
“I don’t want to wait. I want to come now.” She pouted.
I held back a laugh; her neediness was adorable.
Slowly, deliberately, I slid between her lips, the friction already getting me close. I controlled the rhythm, teasing her as I withdrew right to my tip, then lunging straight back in again.
I risked a glance at her. Eyes closed, back arched to take me as deep as she could, teeth biting down on her lower lip as she clutched at the sheets, so close to her own release.Fuck, she was sexy.
The visual tipped me over the edge, with one final thrust, I came hard, collapsing next to her, my breath coming in short bursts.
Afterwards, we lay there, neither of us saying a word, revelling in what had happened.
“Isn’t this normally about the time you leave?” Rosie buried her nose into my neck, teeth nipping at the skin there.
“Babe, I’m not going anywhere. It’s you and me. Together, forever.” My fingers tangled in her hair, pulling her closer. I breathed in the scent of her shampoo and perfume and let out a contented sigh.
We spent the rest of the night wrapped in each other’s arms, chatting about the future and making tentative plans. Rosie fell asleep first, as dawn broke. I lay there staring at the ceiling, trying not to move and wake her.
This was a massive step for me. Never before had I committed to one woman so completely.
Anxiety prickled at my thoughts.
I meant everything I’d said to Rosie last night, every single word. Including the ‘L’ word.
She really was the only one I wanted, that I could see a future with.
And it scared the fuck out of me.
Carefully, so as not to disturb her, I slid from the bed, pulled on my clothes and headed out the door.
