Attraction

60.

When I got back in my apartment I changed into a pair of comfortable clothes and ended up taking a long nap on the couch after watching a few episodes of a tv show. I fell into a deep sleep but when I woke up, the cloudy sky had already darkened. My arms stretch above my head and I brush my fingers through my hair trying to untangle the mess. When I check my phone, I notice I have a text from my mom and from Paul.

Happy early birthday! How does it feel to almost be 24? - Mom. I almost forgot my phone birthday is right around the corner, part of me feels excited for it but then I remember I doubt there is going to be any kind of elaborate birthday party.
My birthday isn't until next week, but I'm glad you reminded me... I almost forgot it. Love you.
My mom always gets so excited every year for my birthday, she would always bake me a cake of my choice. My friends from school and I would go out for a girls day if I felt safe enough to go out.

Love you too, Will. Check your mail on your birthday, I am going to send you something.
I read my message from Paul, next who I still really would like to see tonight but I am not sure if that is going to happen.
Hey, are you awake? -Paul
It was sent only a hour ago, maybe he still wants to see me. I hope so. But I am going to try not to get my hopes up just in case he is busy and says he can't hang out anymore. Sorry, I took a really long nap. What's up? That's casual, right? I can be casual...

That's ok. I wanted to see if I could come see you.
If I have ever felt a large jolt of energy running through me, I am sure right now would be another one of those times. After I message Paul back and invite him to come over, I quickly go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and my hair. My fingertips pinch the apples of my cheeks to give them some color and I change out of my sweat pants into a pair of tight black leggings. When I am satisfied with the way I look, I straighten up my apartment and fold the few clothes that are on my bed before putting them away. I quickly light a vanilla scented candle and leave it on my dining room table before the knock at the door makes my heart begin to race in my chest. I open the front door to see Paul standing there in his clothes from earlier but nevertheless looking all the more flawless. His gaze pierces through me as his eyes trail up and down my body for a moment, is he checking me out? Maybe I am just reading to much into this, I mean, I did just wake up from a nap there is no way I look that good... My eye bags prove it. "Come in" I tell him, as I'm trying to suppress my already forming smile. He doesn't hesitate to come inside before shutting the door behind him. "So—" We both say at the same time before a light laughter comes from us both.

"Sorry... You first" Paul responds.

"Oh, I was just going to ask how the rest of your day was"

"It was good, I worked mostly after I dropped you off. How did you sleep?" If I am being honest with myself I would have slept a lot better beside Paul.
"I slept fine" I give him a convincing smile as we go take a seat on the couch. We sit beside one another but a few inches apart making it hard for me to not lean into him. I am sure his skin feels so warm and his arms would wrap so comfortably around me. The sound of his heart beating while I lay my head against his chest, or even the way his lips would feel against my own. Stop it, Willow... I remind myself mentally. Calm down before you start to pant like a dog.
"Is everything okay? You're quiet" His low tone sends a relaxing feeling through me. I give in and turn to look at him, don't glance at his lips... Don't do it.
"I am fine. Sorry, I guess I am just a little bit tired" It's not a lie, I am still feeling tired but I am also feeling a lot of things right now. Paul surprises me when we wraps his arms around my waist pulling my back into his chest, his hands rest close above my breasts while my heart pounds wildly. I am positive he can feel the vibration, he takes one hand and slowly begins to run his fingers through my hair making me relax even more. Oh. This is nice. While he continues, I close my eyes as I try to regulate my heart beat. "You did have a very long day today, didn't you" He states but I am too relaxed so I just nod my head.
"Words, baby..." Oh. I can't breathe. This feels too good right now and I can't focus with the feeling growing between my legs. My lips stay shut as my chest continues to rise and fall at a quick pace making me crave his touch between my legs.
"Something the matter?" He brings his lips slowly down to the corner in my ear. I can feel the coolness of his breath against my skin giving me goosebumps, that alone is enough to drive me wild. I try to keep my breathing relaxed but I am pretty sure it isn't working as my chest rises and falls unsteadily.

"No.." Why am I whispering? Paul slowly brings his hand down from my head to my neck, he begins gently massaging as I close my eyes and lean further into him. How is it that him just doing this has the ability to cause the familiar heat to grow between my legs? I try to be subtle and squeeze my thighs together to make the feeling subside.
"I think you're lying" He whispers in a low voice, his cold breath once more on my skin isn't helping my case. My lips slightly part as he brings his lips down against my neck, he starts leaving small kisses against my sensitive skin making the heat between my legs increase. I bite down on my bottom lip trying to hide any sound that may try to leave my lips at any given moment.

"Willow..." His begins sucking against my skin as one of his hands travels down to in between the thin fabric of my leggings. As his fingers glide against the top of the fabric he begins rubbing me gently causing my breathing to quicken by the second as well as the tingling between my legs. "I want to taste you" His words catch me off guard but in this moment I just want him. He can do whatever he wants to me right now because I have melted under his touch. He carefully gets up from the couch before removing his his fingers from between my legs making me want to whimper at the loss of contact from the lovely feeling. "Please" I beg as our eyes lock, he nods his head before picking me up and carrying me into my room. My back is gently laid against the bed in the moon lit room as I feel his fingers slide under the hand of my leggings. "Let's get these off of you" He murmurs before slowly tugging them down my body, his eyes trace my lower region before doing the same thing with my underwear as he tosses them to the side. My legs are gently rugged downward so they are hanging from the edge of the bed. My breathing remains uneven as Paul spreads my legs, his soft hair tickles the inside of my thighs as he begins placing small kisses against my inner thighs going upward. He stops once he reaches the area I'm craving him in between my legs, my lips slightly part in a soft gasp when I feel his tongue slide through my sensitive area. He places a kiss on the spot before continuing with his tongue, my breathing becomes erratic as he continues his motion and sucks gently against the sensitive skin. My hips buck lightly as he continues for a few minutes before I feel the familiar feeling growing in the pit of my stomach, I am careful not to pull too hard as my fingers grip his soft hair urging him to continue his motion. My lips part as sharp gasps leave them once I have reached the peak of my high, I feel as if I am going to faint at any moment now. I close my eyes as Paul removes his lips from between my legs, the bed presses down beside me as he lays his body next to mine. With my eyes still closed, I feel him pull me into him as his arms wrap around my waist. He places a kiss against my forehead as I relax against his touch.
"That good?" He murmurs playfully against my hair.
"Mhmm..." I can barely manage out any words, the feeling he gave me was so intense, I still feel light headed. Paul chuckles softly before he swiftly pulls our bodies up against the top of the bed so my head is on a pillow. I relax more as I feel him resting his head against my own, if I could choose to stay like this forever with him I would gladly do so.

When I wake up, I am sweating from the thick duvet that I am tangled in along with Paul's shirtless heated body. It feels like I've been sleeping beside a electric heating blanket all night but I don't mind it one bit. I've missed this way too much, but I don't need to tell him that— the last thing I want is to come off as too needy. I get up from the bed and walk into the kitchen before starting the coffee pot and running my fingers through my messy hair. As the sound of the coffee brewing can be heard, a feeling of nostalgia washes over me as Paul wraps his arms around me from behind causing a wide smile to form on my lips. "Good morning" He mumbles in a raspy voice against my neck.
"Morning" A light chuckle leaves my lips. The loud knock at the front door makes me turn my head, who's showing up at my apartment at this time in the morning? Another pound comes from the door. Paul unwraps his arms around me before turning to look at me with a serious expression.
"Don't move- I'll get it for you" He tells me and goes to open the front door. When the front door opens, silence fills the apartment and my eyes widen slightly. Paul stands staring down Matt who's glaring darkly at him with a hate filled expression, Matt glances at me.

"What is he doing here?" He growls.
