Chapter 144

He kept them in the water and did what she asked against the side of the pool. His lips remained suctioned to hers, drinking down every sound she made. The air around them was thick with the heat and passion they felt for each other. If there had been a heat seeking missile in the sky that night, it would have obliterated the Disturbed safe house because of the heat they were putting off.

"Oh, Holy God", she said.

He laughed. "I'll take that as you enjoyed it."

"You can say that again and it would STILL be an understatement."

"I think we should go up to that air mattress up there and continue our night. It would make doing certain things a lot easier."

She unwound her legs from his waist and pushed herself up from the water, wrapping a towel around her body to dry off and watching him follow suit.

"How are you enjoying your anniversary gift?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her.

"This is the best gift you've given me. I was really pissed at you when we got home though. I think Tina tried to hint at it, but I didn't pick up on it.

"I was trying to get you upset so that you would be genuinely surprised when I finished it. That's why I didn't say anything this morning. I wanted you to think I spaced it off because of the concert."

"It worked." She laid down on the mattress.

He spread the blanket out over the mattress that was probably going to be their bed for the night. He laid down beside her and pulled the towel from his waist. "Come here. You act like I'm going to steal your virtue or something."

She smiled a crooked smile and she scooted into him. "My virtue was gone a long time ago." She rested her head on his shoulder and placed a hand lightly on his chest. Her fingers played delicately with the hair on his stomach and chest. She laid there quietly, thinking, remembering.

"What's going through your mind, baby?"

"Our first night together. We sat on your couch talking and eventually, I ended up with my head on your shoulder. The smell of my hair was a distraction to you, I think you said it was intoxicating. I asked you if you wanted me to move my head, you said no, abut you wanted to know if I would let you kiss me."

He smiled. "I was shocked that you let me, to be perfectly honest. But, you know what surprised me the most?"

"No, what?"

"How quickly you took control. I think it took you only a few seconds to swing your leg over my lap and straddle my waist. It was sexy as hell."

She swung her leg over his waist and slid on top of him. "You talking about this?" She smiled crookedly.

"Kinda. I think our lips were too busy to talk though." He ran his fingers through her hair as her lips connected with his. She ground her hips against him like she did that first night until she felt that he was ready.

She wasn't taking the lead this time around. He rolled them over and pinned her wrists above her head with on hand. He kissed down the front of her body, until he got to what he was really craving.
