Strong affections
Lila wrappedher legs around Sawyer, as he lifted her off the counter and carried her into the bedroom. He wanted to tell her he would carry her anywhere to keep her safe, but he couldn’t stop kissing her – her lips, her neck, her chin. He thought maybe if he kissed her hard enough, the rest of the world, and the person threatening her, could be pushed away and dissolved. He didn’t want anything to exist outside of this apartment.
Lila unbuttoned his jeans as he gently laid her on the bed. When his jeans were fully unzipped, she let him undo hers, savoring the feel of his lips as he kissed her belly button, her hips. He slid her jeans onto the floor, and Sawyer saw his guess from earlier was right – shedidwear satin and lace.
He pulled her shirt over her head, and the sight of her skin through the thin lace of her bralette made him swell from hard to harder. He had to take off his jeans, or they’d rip. He kicked them off to the floor, as she tugged his t-shirt over his head.
Sawyer bit the thin strap of her bra and pulled it down her shoulder, kissing the indentation it left in her skin. He sat back and took her in – her red hair a bright contrast to the navy bed spread – she looked like the glow of a setting sun. Her breasts were small and pointed, he bet he could fit almost all of one into his mouth. He wanted to try. He unhooked her bra from behind, and she shook it off of her arms and dropped it over the side of the bed.
But before he could slide her panties off, she hooked her thumbs in the waist of his boxers and pulled them down to his knees. He wiggled them over his feet and she ran her hands down his chest before taking him in her hands, sending a shudder through his body. She brought him into her mouth. This girl, he realized, would continue to surprise him.
Lila had been with boyfriends before, but she’d never felthungryfor them the way she did for Sawyer. She wanted to take in all of him, to let herself be taken over by him. She worked the base of his long shaft with her hand, as she slid her lips up and down, feeling him tremble in every one of his muscles. He was so much stronger than her, but she liked knowing she could make him weak. She liked knowing she could level the playing field and bring him under her spell.
That is, until he backed away and a sly smile crossed his face.
“Not yet,” he whispered. However, he knew if he did let her take him all the way, he would be hard for her again in an instant. She just had to look at him with those wide eyes and long lashes.
He pressed her back against the bed and finally pulled her silk panties down to her ankles with his teeth, sliding them over her feet, and tossing them blindly at the wall. She was as perfect naked, as she was in jeans, scrubs, anything he could picture her in or out of. He wanted to sink his fingers inside of her, then his tongue, then all of himself. Or maybe the opposite order, he couldn’t decide. What was it about this girl? He kissed her, letting his hardness speak for itself.
She pressed her hips up against him, urging him to slip in. But he wanted to take back the control she’d wrested from him, when she took him into her mouth. His fingers traced her thighs, drawing incoherent patterns. She shivered at the feeling, overpowered and wanting to surrender. She was no longer the schoolmarm. She was all his, and he could take her wherever he wanted.
He kissed her ear, then her neck, his hand kneading her breast ,as he prepared to take her by surprise – again. He flipped her onto her stomach. Her initial shock turned into a smile as she rose up onto her knees, gripping a pillow as he pushed himself deeply inside her. She moaned, as her body gripped his with wetness and warmth.
Was this really the same girl who would hardly look at him this morning? Jeez! She too, had the surprise element. He had met his match. She responded vigorously to every style he pulled out. Who would have thought the same girl he met earlier, who behaved like a countryside virgin, was actually a pro at dishing out spontaneous styles? He loved taking up challenges and knowing he’d conquered them.
Lila pressed her face into the pillow, as she opened her legs wider, to let him sink deeper inside her. She savored each moment of pleasure. Damn! When was the last time she had great sex like this? Not that she had a high body count, but Sawyer was about to use his manhood to wipe all of her previous sexual experiences off memory lane.
Sawyer gripped her hips, guiding her as he thrusted, before adjusting so he could lie down on top of her back. As he shifted, he kissed her neck and cupped her breast. His fingers also tweaked her nipple, as he pulled her against him.
Part of Lila wanted to chide herself; she never slept with men on the first date, let alone after the first day of meeting them in the middle of a crisis. But Sawyer was different. He was different in every way from anyone she’d ever dated, and she’d never wanted to possess and be possessed by someone so fully. She wanted him to surprise her for the rest of her life.
Lila sat up, sinking down onto his bulge as she kissed his chin.
Sawyer moved with Lila, wrapping her arms around her and kissing her from behind. He pressed himself up and into her again, fighting the urge to explode right there. He didn’t want this to end. He wanted her backwards and forwards, on the bed and on the floor. He didn’t think he’d ever get tired of exploring all the ways he could make her eyes close and flutter the way they were fluttering right now.
He kneaded his hands against her taut stomach, as she rode him in a circular motion. He flipped her around and nudged her on her back again, pressing inside her, as he watched her face change with each thrust. He twined his fingers with hers as they came, before collapsing on top of her, his breath hot on her neck. She wrapped a leg around his, holding him there.
Normally, Sawyer would unwrap himself from a girl at this point, pull on his clothes and go into the kitchen for a drink or something to eat, hoping she’d get the hint. Instead, Sawyer sank into the mattress beside Lila, his arm still draped over her body. He nuzzled her ear with his nose. He wanted to stay and learn everything about this girl – what else did she like? What did she want in life? What drove her to work so hard for others, when she already had everything? His eyes grew heavy and started to close, when a knock thudded on the apartment door.
