The Ingenue

Chapter 4

One year later

     Kate stared at him, nervous and scared for this next step in their lives. Both of them drew ragged breaths as his piercing eyes gazed down at her, and she  knew this moment would be forever burned in her mind—the first time she saw his face with insatiable hunger for her. He whispered softly, "Are you sure you want to?" Kate's body shivered with a mix of heat and the shock of his light hot breath on her neck and ear.  He waited, his brown eyes pulling her in. A shudder shook through her.   Her voice was barely a murmur. “I'm sure."
     Kate sat at the edge of his bed. His mom was gone visiting family out of town, and her mom thought she was spending the night with Leah. Gabe and Kate had talked about this for months, and the heavy petting and heat had been building up to this night.
     Gabe sat next to her on the bed and entwined his fingers into her. Kate stared down at their hands in the dark. Only a blacklight and posters reflecting the neon colors shown light upon their skin. Gabe had turned on a mix tape of their favorite songs, and she felt overwhelmed by the static of his body next to hers in the dark.
     Gabe tipped her chin up to look at him.
     "What's wrong, kitten?" he asked with a low husky voice.
     "Nothing. I was just thinking about how after tonight, you will know all of me. Gabe, if I tell you something, promise me you won't laugh?"
     He nodded silently.
     "After my dad died, I never thought I could ever be happy again or feel safe. I know that life is not a fairy tale and you're no prince charming."
     He chuckled.
     "Hey, what's that supposed to mean? I can be romantic." he said teasingly.
     "Oh, of course you can. But I meant to say that life is not about being saved by a guy on a white horse. Anyway, I am trying to say something important."
     Kate's eyes met Gabe's, and she said, "Is it wrong to believe that this is everything? For the last year, we have grown up together, and I don't want this to be the best part of it. What happens when we graduate?"
     Gabe looked at her with a flare in his eyes, backed up onto the bed, and guided her next to him. He softly caressed her cheek and pressed his lips gently to her lips. He whispered softly, "We'll be together. Forever."
     Kate winced with pleasure and pain as he slid his hand down her stomach and into the waistband of her jeans. The anticipation of what he was going to do ignited her core, and he greedily touched her between her panties and her jeans, making her soaked and slippery.
     Her body knew his hands, and her clitoris swelled with a throbbing want to feel his fingers deep within her. He methodically rubbed her mound, and she silently cried when he withdrew his hand from her core. Slowly, he brought his hand out of her jeans, and the urge to beg him for more was on the verge of her lips.
     Tears began to form at the edges of her eyes. Oh God! Tonight was it. She was so in love with Gabe and couldn't imagine her world without him. After losing her daddy, she swore that she would never care about someone else again and risk losing them. Gabe and Leah were the only two people she had ever been able to confide in. It took her a year before she could even tell him what happened that night.
     Her body shivered as Gabe made his fingers dance along her stomach up to her breast. He softly cupped her large breast in his hand while staring at her with the same desire she had come to adore. Gabe didn't just look at her like she was any girl. He made her feel like she was the only girl. Something about his dark brown eyes engulfed her and sought to claim her as his. His thumb glided over her covered nipple and a sharp bolt of electricity traveled through her entire body. Instantly, the need to be rid of barriers between them both was a mutual unspoken truth. The room became hotter as they began to peel off each other's clothes, desperate to find what hidden treasure they had been waiting for.
     Gabe sat up and straddled his stout body above her petite but voluptuous frame. Leaning over her, he lifted up her shirt and removed it, and tossed it into the dark room. Kate returned the favor. She perked up, reaching for him and pulling his shirt over his muscular torso. She sucked in a small gasp. He was just a kid to others, but she idolized him. His body and dark eyes captivated her. Under the bright neon poster with his striking stare, he was all the man she wanted and needed him to be. As she touched the small patch of hair on his chest and took in his light but woody and spicy cologne, he reached around her back to release her bra clasp. Her bra fell slowly from her breast, and his eyes looked ravenous to taste her. His hands placed at both her shoulders, and he slid the lingerie away to reveal all of her. His gaze knocked her breath away... She laid back as he stared at her in silence.
     She started to feel anxious and almost scared. Was something wrong? Did he not like her body? Before she could speak, his hands were back to her pants, and his fingers were fidgeting with her button. Kate reached down with her hands and covered his. Looking him in the eyes, she pushed his own hands aside and unclasped her jeans. Before Gabe could proceed, Kate unbuttoned his and slid them off past the curve of his ass. Releasing his erection, he groaned as she took it in her hand. They had spent months of foreplay and teasing, but tonight was the first night she would feel him inside her. She bit down at her bottom lip as he looked eagerly at her.
     She had no right to make him wait any longer. "Go slow, please."
    "I will, baby. "
    Gabe took her mouth in his and then quickly made his way south to her neck and slid his mouth to her areola. He sucked softly on her nipple as if savoring the first taste of her skin and her nipple. His large, strong hand took her other breast in his, and he grasped it tightly. Her pussy tingled as he flicked her nipple with his tongue and pinched her other one. Her hips bucked underneath him as she signaled her desire for his touch.
     She felt like she was going to lose her mind as his body rubbed against her and his cock grazed her slit.
     "Gabe please!" she begged.
      Slowly he looked up at her and his eyes bore through her like a lion staring at his prey. He placed one finger on her lips and whispered, "Shhh." As he took her mouth, he slid his thick middle finger into her. He shoved it in and out making her legs weaken as he kissed her hard and implored her to make him stop or give her more. The weight of his body and his long kiss made her head spin and dizzy but God if she didn't want more. More.
     Kate managed to push him off enough to take a breath. Their bodies were dripping with cold sweat and the smell of his body with hers made her want to slow down and make it last but her body betrayed her mind.
    "Is that all you have?" She said mischievously with a smile. She wanted Gabe to give her everything. They had been holding back for months and she wanted...needed to know if he was giving just as much of himself as she was.
    "Oh, you want more," He chuckled sinisterly? "I was just getting started. But you asked for it."
    Kate laughed nervously. Gabe was always one who liked a challenge. Did she just bite off more than she could chew?
     Gabe eyes turned into a complete carnivore glaze as he grabbed her by her hips pulling her to his groin, smiled deliciously at her, raised both her knees up in a bend with her feet flat next to his thighs and spread her lips open to him.
     He stared at her while he explored her clitoris and slit, rubbing with his thumb and sliding his fingers in and out of her teasingly. She watched him meticulously touching and fingering her. She needed to touch him, but her body was paralyzed by the different chemical responses of each stroke . She closed her eyes as a beautiful excruciating pain began deep in her. She felt him slide down further away, and for a second, he was gone, and her body mourned.
     She opened her eyes just in time to meet his as he placed both hands on each under side of her knees and put her legs up to drape over his shoulder. His head dived in between her legs as his middle and index finger shoved into her wet vagina.
     "Oh shit," she moaned out. She was a good girl to everyone else, but Gabe had made her want to be naughty. He had been hungrier, there was more fondling and foreplay and she should have known better than to challenge him. She heard him growl as he began to lick and kiss her clitoris. He made concentric circles with his calloused thumbs on her clit as he continued to plunge his fingers in and out...sometimes wiggling them inside her or going deeper as if searching for special spots. He sucked on her and her ache turned into a static rush of pleasure. Her thighs and stomach became hot, her throat dry as she felt the sudden rise coming to her groin...she screamed out, "Gabe, stop I need you inside me. Now!"
     Gabe reached for the condom he had placed nearby and slowly they took the time to make sure it was on right.
     Gabe looked nervous for the first time all evening and she wondered if he was holding back because of what she had said earlier.
     "You okay," she whispered?
     " Yea. I'm good. You?"
     Kate realized that this was the uncharted territory. Slowly she reached for him and guided him into her opening. As he entered slowly, she drew a sharp breath. She didn't realize that his girth would differ so much more from his fingers in their foreplay. The burn and sting took her off guard.  He looked down at her with concern,
     "Are you okay? Do you want to stop?"
     His worry about her made her want to be all of what he needed and everything he wanted. Tears poured down the sides of her face into her hair that lay loose around her. God, she loved him, and in this moment, she couldn't imagine feeling this way about any other man. She spent nights dreaming of a future with Gabe. One day, they would be married and maybe even have a kid or two, but no matter how her life went, she would be okay with Gabe by her. He made her feel stronger and more confident. He made her feel beautiful and important. He had his moments of jealousy, but at least she knew that he was not willing to let another guy take his spot.
     "No, don't stop. I'm okay."
     "You're so tight. Damn. You tasted good. Does it hurt?"
     "It feels better as you go deeper, babe."
      "No it feels fucking amazing. I just don't want to hurt you. Can I just try to go all the way in? And you tell me to stop if it hurts too much?"
      "I trust you."
      Gabe silenced her with a deep kiss as he slowly made his way into her. Raising up her ass with his hands to dive deeper into her, she cried out with his fullness.
     Just when she thought she could take no more of the frustration building up in her, Gabe flipped them over, and she was now on top of him. His cock hit a spot in her core that made her want to be filled and finished. Gabe grabbed both her hips and they began to slowly rock and sway. His shaft rubbed against her clitoris as he grabbed her ass with his hands. She couldn't stop the rush of fire making it's way up to her legs. Her body began to feel euphoric as the throbbing hit like lighting between her legs.
     "Gabe. Oh fuck. I'm cuming."
     "Cum kitten."
      And she did. Her legs immediately gave way, and her body became limp as she laid down on his chest to catch her breath. But Gabe needed his sweet release and he slowly guided her onto her back where he wiped her damp hair from her face and kissed her softly as she tried to slow the panting of her breath and the shaking of her legs. Gabe entered her solo this time, and he stared at her blue eyes as he stroked his dick in and out...learning her each time. His face became tight and intense. He bit down on his lower lip.
     "Damn, you feel so good."
     "So do you." She smiled constantly and now comfortable with his rhythm and how their bodies felt like they were made for each other. She touched his shoulder and traced the homemade tattoo of her name as he moaned hers. His pace picked up, and he grabbed her hands, intertwining their fingers. He raised both their arms above her head as he buried his into her clavicle. He pounded harder and harder until she felt her body giving way to another orgasm and the moment she squeezed his hands, her body exploded with his.
     "Oh shit. Shit Kate. That was fucking amazing."
     "Mmmhmm." she murmured.
     "Kitten you okay?"
     "Yes babe. I'm perfect. That was perfect."
      They laid in the darkness with the sound of Gabe's mixtape still playing a song from "The Smiths" and Kate wondered if this would be the best sex of their lives or if it would get better. Then a horrible feeling came into her mind. What if I won't be the only one he makes love to? What if Gabe doesn't love me the same way and one time with someone else would be enough to make him leave?
The thought overwhelmed her so much that tears began to spill from her eyes onto the pillow. She panicked, thinking that Gabe would wonder why she was  crying. She glanced over at him, and he was lying peacefully asleep.
      Stop it, Kate. He said forever. She wiped her eyes and silently prayed to God to spare her future pain. She cuddled next to him and swore to herself that she would do whatever it took to make sure he knew that she loved him and no other. She drifted off to sleep to the humming of his snores.
