Tattoos

I HONESTLY DEBATED WRITING A "SEXY SCENE" FOR CHARLOTTE AND DAVID. AT FIRST, THINGS WERE GOING TO STAY PG, BUT IN THE END I DECIDED THAT AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF INNOCENT FLIRTING THESE TWO PROBABLY HAD A LOT OF PENT UP SEXUAL TENSION THAT NEEDED TO BE DEALT WITH IN THE BEDROOM ;)

Charlotte froze momentarily, except for the butterflies that seemed to come alive inside her stomach. Her mind immediately went back to the night they went to Chili's and she had casually mentioned having one or two tattoos. "Come on, then," she said and slipped out of his hold and began walking backwards out of the kitchen. She was feeling particularly bold this morning and a wondered if he'd take the bait. Last night's kiss had been wonderfully sweet, and she had been happy to leave it as it was, but her dreams had tormented her with glimpses of more. More kissing, more skin, more everything. And when she woke up feeling flushed and achy, she knew she needed to see if he wanted more of her as much as she wanted more of him. Thinking back over the past weeks, she was certain he did.

David cocked an eyebrow at her invitation, set down his coffee cup, and followed obligingly. He knew, he hoped he knew, what this was leading to. More than once last night he had stood at his bedroom door trying to persuade himself into going to her. But honestly, he was afraid of being rejected. The kiss they had shared hadn't been nearly enough for him, but he didn't want to push her to give more than she was ready to. So, he had stayed rooted in place with his hand on the doorknob and forehead pressed against the door. But, now? Now, she was offering to give him more, and he'd be a fool to let the opportunity slip away.

She made it to the first step leading upstairs when David caught up to her. He snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her back against him. From this height he decided he could easily start his exploration from her ear and search from top to bottom. He was rewarded right off the bat when he pulled her hair to one side.

"Found it," he smiled before giving his full attention to her ear.

Charlotte sighed the moment his lips touched her ear where her tattoo was. It was a simple floral design that followed along the back edge from the tip down to the lobe, and at this moment Charlotte was more than thankful that she had given into her instincts to invite David on his search. His next find was sure to prove much more interesting.

David had been so focused on his ministrations to her ear, that it caught him by surprise when Charlotte turned around and pressed her lips to his. This kiss was nothing like the one they shared last night. Passion exploded between them, and as she grabbed the back of his head to pull him in deeper, David found his hands gripping under her backside and hoisting her up until she wrapped her legs around his waist. From there, he continued their ascent up the stairs, down the hall, and into his bedroom where he laid her gently on his bed, never letting more than a few inches come between them.

He began trailing kisses down the side of her neck and paused to give special attention to a spot near her throat. Charlotte's breaths were coming in pants, and she loosened her grip on his head to gently scrape her nails along his scalp.

David groaned at the pleasure that raced through him. It surprised him how such an innocent gesture could arouse him so much.

"Am I close?" he asked as he traced his tongue over the hollow spot above her collarbone.
