Page 9 of Meet You Half Way
I felt something zing inside me at the casual way he said those words, my eyes meeting his inky gaze and feeling something thud inside. I was pretty sure there was some serious blood pooling going on too but I was a little lost in those pretty black eyes as he watched me back.
The doors of the diner chimed loudly as a customer walked in and the moment was broken, Mateo quickly looking away. I whooshed out a breath of air, unsure where that intensity had come from. I didn’t usually fall too quickly into relationships. I liked to take my time, get to know a guy better before anything progressed.
But I had a strong feeling I was about to throw all my rules out the window for Mateo.
CHAPTER 4
Jamie
Mateo directed me as we wove through the back streets of Esperance until we arrived in front of a sweet little beach cottage, clad in white weatherboard. A verandah wrapped around the front of the house and the front porch light showed off an inviting door painted baby pink. It sure was a sweet little thing.
We were back in my car, my sweet black Peugeot after having dropped the ambulance back off at the base a few minutes ago. I could tell Mateo was about to say goodbye before he whisked off behind that pink door but I hadn’t been brought up that way. I opened my door and moved quickly enough that I was able to open his door before he knew what I was doing.
“Ah, thanks,” he muttered, clearly not used to being treated right.
“I’ll walk you to your door,” I offered, gesturing for him to lead the way. He looked uncertain but moved towards the front door, stopping and turning back to me as we made it to the verandah steps.
“Thank you for the ride home,” Mateo said, lingering just below the porch step. “And the fries. I’m pretty sure I ate all of them.”
“You’re very welcome,” I told him.
I was about to leave him there, really I was, but then Mateo’s eyes dipped to my mouth. And lingered. His pink tongue grazed his lower lip and I knew right then and there that I was done for. Maybe I was not the gentleman I proclaimed to be or maybe it was this god-like man that had me stepping into his space, my intentions clear but leaving him enough time to end this before it started.
He didn’t, those eyes darkening even further than his already pitch state as he lifted them up to mine, the heat in them undeniable and surely matching the heat in mine.
“I know this is probably really unprofessional after the day you’ve had but I …” I started, mind completely and utterly scrambled by Mateo right before he closed the gap and kissed me, my mouth meeting those pretty cupid bow lips. There was no hesitation from either of us, his hands clasping the back of my neck as mine went for his hips, pulling him in closer as the kiss swiftly deepened.
I was completely intoxicated, not of sound mind as I lost myself in Mateo’s kiss, his tongue stroking against mine as I delved into his open mouth. He moaned and that sound went straight to my dick, tightening my grip on his hips as I pulled him even closer, mind blown to lust.
This wasn’t me. This wasn’t me at all but Mateo had intoxicated me and I was powerless to do anything but enjoy those kisses he was giving me. The ones I’d been imagining all night long.
He shifted the kiss, mouth moving to graze my jawline, then lower still, sucking on my neck as I dropped my head back and let out a jagged breath, hands tightening my grip on his hips.
“Um, do you…” Mateo started, hesitating on his words as though he was afraid of saying them. I wasn’t having any of that though. I wasn’t afraid of the words.
“Yes,” I returned, a little desperation in my response.
“Yes what?” he replied, apparently having forgotten he had been the one to almost say the words first.
“Yes I want to come inside with you. That’s what you were going to ask, right?”
He stopped kissing me, those lips puffy and red from our kiss as he looked up at me, the answering desire in his eyes telling me this night had a ways to go.
“Yeah. That’s what I was going to say,” he admitted, that tongue diving out to soothe his swollen bottom lip. My dick twitched in my pants, already so hard I was aching.
He moved away from me to unlock the door and I let him go even though I wanted to crowd right back up behind him and kiss his neck. He stood aside to let me in, teeth planted into his plump lower lip and I knew this night was going to be an unforgettable one.
I waited until he had closed the door behind him before I took him in my arms, pushing him up against the door which I was pleased to note was also baby pink on this side of the divide as I kissed his neck the way I’d wanted to do outside.
“My housemate …” Mateo rasped and I got what he saying. We needed to be quiet and that likely meant not making out against the front door. I nodded and Mateo reached out for my hand, threading his fingers through mine as he pulled me through the dark house in the direction of the hallway. He held one finger against his lips as we padded down the hall until we reached the door at the end.
I was so riled up for this beautiful man that it took barely a second before my mouth was back on his as our kiss took off again. My hands wanted all of him and I trailed them down his firm back to cup those incredible ass cheeks, pulling him taut against me and feeling his hardness press back against mine. He let out a moan and I grinned against his mouth.
I wanted to savour him and tease him and spend all night mapping out his body but I was way too pent up for that, this need for him igniting like a fury inside me. The way he was kissing me back hinted that he felt the same way. So I reached for his top, tugging it over his head before we were pressed back up against each other, his hands on my pants button.
We shed our clothes, a messy desperate process that could have run far more smoothly if we weren’t both half desperate for each other. I took a brief moment to take my fill of him when he was finally naked and let me just say that the perfection did not end with his face. He was glorious, an absolute work of art. A showstopper.
His body was lean and trim but with muscles that showed he took great care of himself, abs leading down to a v where his hard dick strained towards me. He was drinking me in at the same time, eyes skating down my bigger build, snagging on the way my dick was hard for him too.
