No Regrets

Chapter 13

Manhattan, New York
Raven

I laid down stunned at Dave's question. I didn't think he'd ask me out at this moment in time. A number of feelings rushed through me, but of them all I felt happy. I felt secure.

I gently caressed his cheek as we never lost eye contact. He was anticipating a response and I wanted to assure him.

"Of course I'll be your girl. What kind of question is that?" The immediate glimmer in his eyes sent butterflies to my stomach.

He softly smiled at me, basically blushing until it became a wide smile where I could see all of his teeth. His left hand found its way to the back of my head where his fingers seeped into the back of my messy bun and massaged my scalp. He brought my forehead to his lips and for a moment he was still. I could feel him inhale deeply into my hair before planting a kiss onto the top of my head.

When he picked my head back up, he looked me in my eyes without saying a word. I returned the stare. I had no idea what his next move was and the anticipation kept the butterflies in my stomach going crazy.

I saw him tuck his bottom lip between his teeth until he slowly released it while not breaking his stare on me. For a split second I could see his eyes shift downward towards my lips. He wanted to kiss me. I wanted that more than anything at the moment and I couldn't wait for our lips to touch. As I thought about him kissing me, he leaned in really close to where the space between our lips was so small. It felt so close that even a strand of hair didn't seem like it would fit between us. Unexpectedly he spoke. And I could feel his breath on my lips. It made me weak.

"Baby, I want this. I want you. Nothing is coming between us" and with how close we were to each other, I believed that there was nothing that could physically come between me and him, in this moment or ever.

He licked his lips and did exactly what i had been waiting for. His lips fell on top of mine briefly for a peck. I bit my lip lightly when he pulled back. He went for another one so I slightly parted my lips anticipating him to lock lips with me. He didn't. He pecked my slightly departed lips. I couldn't tell if this was just so passionate or if he was initiating some really sexy sex. Nonetheless, an unintentional whimper escaped from my mouth. I immediately pierced my lips, a little embarrassed.

He paused and looked at me. His eyebrows shot up a little and only for a short while before he regained his initial look of passion. He leaned in again, but this time kissing my cheek. He gripped my scalp a little and turned my head to the side so that my ear was facing him.

"I don't EVER want you to be embarrassed with me. You are so fucking perfect, you just don't know" his voice was deep and calm and very assertive. I could tell that he was serious but the way that he said it turned me on for sure. I think that was a goal of his. He knew exactly what he was doing.

"Do you hear me Raven?" I wasn't expecting him to speak more so I just nodded my head in understanding. "No. You have a mouth for a reason. I asked, do you hear me?"

I just knew that he absolutely had me where he wanted me. I bit down on my lip in complete bliss before letting out the word, "yes."

"Good," was all he said before I felt him completely turn me on my backside. He sat up and moved over me. I felt one of his knees spread my leg as his hands cupped my face.

He leaned down and I shivered a little at the feel of gold touching my neck from his chain. He looked at me a little bit longer and then kissed me. He went all in this time. His lips were so juicy every time. We moved our lips together slowly, savoring the moment. Surprisingly, I was the one who brushed my tongue against his lips, where he gladly departed his lips so that our tongues could meet. We were kissing and sucking each other's tongues in rhythms that we caught along to.
