More Than Friends

Part 147 (Hardin)

"Hardin, you're not serious!" Tessa says in shock.

"Of course I am."

"Of course you are," she repeats and rolls her eyes at me.

"Come on... Doesn't making love under the stars sound romantic?"

"Of course it does. That doesn't mean I'm going to do it, though!"

"Why not?"

"Because I don't feel like having sex in a public place where anyone could see us!"

"You know I wouldn't suggest it if anyone could see you. Just trust me."

"Hardin, I don't feel like taking the risk of being caught having sex on the roof of our apartment!"

"Tessa, no one's going to catch us."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I'll block off the door with one of those chairs. This is the tallest apartment building in the neighbourhood, so no one can see. Besides, the ledge around the roof would block us from view once we're lying down anyway."

"Where would we even... you know?" Tessa asks shyly.

"I'll be right back!" I promise before rushing to the stairwell door and down to our apartment.

When I get to our apartment I grab every blanket and decorative cushion I can find and then make my way back up to the roof. I'm always giving Tessa shit about her decorative throw blanket and cushion addiction, but I'm grateful for it now.

Once I'm back on the rooftop, I make my way back over to Tessa and begin to arrange the blankets and cushions so we have a makeshift bed. "How's this?" I ask, proud of my creation.

"But Hardin... it's the middle of winter and cold up here!"

"We're next to the fire pit. The blankets will also help keep us warm and our body heat will do the rest."

"You have an answer for everything, don't you?"

"Yes." I smile proudly.

"How come you know so much about this? Have you... have you done this before?" she asks quietly.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you had sex with someone in public before? Like on a rooftop or beach or something?" she asks sadly.

"No, Tess. My first time will be with you," I reply as I take her hands in mine.

"Okay... We can do it."

"Really?" I ask excitedly.

"Yes, but I'll never forgive you if we get caught! Or if I get hypothermia!"

I can't help but laugh. "Okay, fair enough."

"Now what?"

I answer her by turning her around and unzipping her dress. "Now take off your dress, get under the blankets and remove your bra and panties." As Tessa follows my instructions, I quickly remove my own clothes and get under the blanket with her. "Isn't this cozy?" I smirk.

"I really don't know how I let you talk me into this kind of stuff all the time."

"I don't think I had to talk you into it. I think you might enjoy the thrill of being caught," I say seductively as I twirl her blonde locks around my finger.

"N-no, I don't!" she answers defensively.

"It's okay if you do, baby." I nuzzle into her neck.

"Well, I don't!"

I quietly laugh against her neck as I continue to kiss her there. I begin to move down her neck to her shoulder, placing gentle kisses there. I look up for a moment to see Tessa anxiously staring in the direction of the door. "Tess?"

"Hmm?"

"Baby, look at me," I beg and Tessa moves her eyes to meet mine. "Just focus on me and all the beautiful stars shining above us, okay?"

Tessa begins to nod before whispering, "Okay."

I slowly slide my hand down Tessa's body and over her hips, until I reach her thigh. I gently spread her legs farther apart and guide myself into her. She places her hands on either side of my body as I begin to thrust in and out of her. "You okay, baby?"

"Mmm-hmm," she replies, but I can tell she's still distracted.

I gently brush a few stray strands of hair away from her face. "It's just you, me and the stars, Tess."

I can tell Tessa finally begins to feel more comfortable because she moves her hands to the small of my back and closes her eyes.

"Baby..." I moan. "It's so sexy making love to you under the stars."

Tessa opens her eyes and stares directly into mine. The connection I feel to her in this moment is overpowering. She very gently reaches up and pulls my face to hers before kissing me.

As I continue to make slow and deep thrusts inside Tessa, I can tell she's getting close. She begins to tighten her legs around me and places one hand on my shoulder and one behind my neck. I look into her eyes and give her one last kiss before she comes for me. My thrusts into her become quicker and sloppier as I watch her go through her orgasm.

"Hardin, I love you and I can't wait to spend forever with you."

Tessa's words are more than enough to help me find my own release and I spill into her.

I pull out of her and lie beside her before gathering her in my arms as we both stare up at the night sky. "Tess, baby, are you okay?"

"Yes. I have to admit, that was really amazing and I'll never forget it."

"It really was. I love you, so much. I can't wait for you to be mine forever."

"And maybe you were right."

"About?"

"It was a little exciting knowing we could get caught," Tessa shyly admits.

"My naughty girl." I quietly chuckle.

Tessa gently swats at my chest. "But don't think this is going to become a habit."

"Of course not! The rooftop is so ten minutes ago. Next time will have to be at our spot at the lake." I wink at her.

"There is no next time, Hardin!"

"Oh, there will be a next time." I chuckle.

"You're incorrigible! I'm getting dressed so we can leave before we do get caught," she huffs.

"Okay, baby." I chuckle. "Happy anniversary," I say softly and kiss Tessa before she begins getting dressed.

After we're both dressed, we clean up the blankets, cushions, leftover food and fairy lights. We leave to head back down to our apartment, the whole neighbourhood none the wiser about what really just happened on that rooftop.
