When he stepped from the laundry room, he noticed her eyes taking him in. Yeah, they would be having sex when they went to his condo at the beach.
After his shower, he found Ansley sitting on the couch, looking at her phone. She glanced up and set her phone on the table.
“You look refreshed.”
He dropped into the seat next to her. "So movies, what do you like to watch?"
She pulled her legs up and turned, sitting crisscross on the seat, meeting his gaze. The look on her face was serious. "Before going into battle, I liked war movies with lots of explosions and action. Some of them I can watch, but I don't really like them now. I like comedies or dramas. If it's action but not a war movie, I'm fine, but war movies hit different."
Link nodded,hating the images that popped into his mind. Seeing Hollywood make money on tragedies was hard. “War movies are tough. I have to read reviews from other military guys to see if I can stand it.”
“I’ve watched a few that were awful.”
“There is that, too. I don’t want to see people get blown up. I’ve seen enough of that.”
A shiver worked through her then she put her hand on his arm. “So, movies. What do you want to watch?”
“I like comedies, but I think a drama would be good for tonight.”
Her lips tipped up at the corners, making her look cute. “That sounds good.”
“I have a couple of streaming services. I haven’t watched much lately. Want to check and see if anything looks good?”
Ansley nodded. “Sure.”
“You want a beer?” Link asked as he stood and headed to the kitchen.
"No, thank you. I feel like I drank enough earlier. Do you have tea?"
“I do. Want me to heat some water?”
“Sure. Thank you.”
Ansley turned on the TV and clicked on one of the streaming services, finding a recently released drama. Link stepped over and nodded.
“I haven’t seen that one. It sounds interesting.”
“Good. That’s what we’ll watch.”
Link finished making the tea and brought in her mug and a glass of water for himself. He closed the curtains, so the sun wasn’t shining into the room.
“You ready?” Ansley asked.
"Sure." He sat next to her, trying to relax, though he wanted to pull her into a hug and hold her throughout the movie. They weren’t at that point in their relationship, at least he thought they weren’t. He would take it slow instead of rushing them. The last thing he wanted was to scare her off.
The movie started slowly but picked up about midway through. In one intense scene, Ansley reached over and squeezed his knee.
He liked her hand on his leg. Her touch distracted him from the movie for a moment. He drew in a deep breath, trying to relax.
She didn't move her hand, and then the action picked up again. He covered her hand with his, and she glanced up. Link reached over and paused the movie before lowering his lips to hers, brushing gently against them.
The kiss was heaven. Her fingers on his shoulders and then his neck brought goosebumps to his skin. He could stay like this for a long time. It had been a while since he’d experienced this kind of rush of excitement. It was more than lust thrumming through his veins. This was different.
He swiped his tongue over her lips, and she opened for him. He wanted to press her against the couch, but before he could move, she climbed onto his lap, straddling him. Heat washed over him, driving his desire higher.
With her sitting on his lap, she was above him so he tilted his head back. It was like getting drunk on her. It was nice to have her in a position of power. He moved the kiss deeper, and she pressed harder against him.
This was getting hot and heavy, and he was responding quick. In a few seconds, she would feel his hard cock pressing against her center.
