More Than Friends

Part 57 (Hardin)

After our bubble bath together last night, Tessa and I had such a peaceful sleep. Tessa was right, it really was relaxing.

Tessa's ankle is looking better today, but it's still a little swollen, so I have a relaxing, lazy day planned for her.

"Hardin, you still haven't told me what we're doing today," she whines.

"While you were sleeping in, I went to the video store and rented all the movies you love. Can you believe this town still has a video store?" I laugh.

"You did?"

"Yes! And I'll even watch them with you, without complaining!"

"You shouldn't make promises you can't keep!" she giggles.

"Hey! I've been pretty well behaved this trip."

"Actually, you have, except for at the gala, with that poor guy you embarrassed."

"Let's not forget the college girls on the hiking trail, Tessa..."

"Yes, let's forget them." She blushes.

"I really did like seeing you jealous," I chuckle.

"That's not nice, Hardin."

"It made me feel wanted."

"Hardin, I always want you. And only you."

I kiss Tessa and help her to the couch. "Now, you get comfy on the couch while I grab the snacks and start the first movie."

"What did you rent?"

"You've Got Mail."

"'Hardin! I love that movie!"

"Well, I don't, so I hope you appreciate this!" I joke.

I snuggle up with Tessa on the couch and we spent the next two hours watching that dreadful movie. I manage to keep my comments to myself, which seems to keep Tessa happy.

"What's next?" Tessa chirps.

"Sleepless in Seattle."

"Wow, you did good," she says as she rewards me with a kiss.

"I'm just happy to see you smiling."

After we finish Sleepless in Seattle, we stop watching movies to eat some dinner, then we get back to our movie marathon.

"Okay, let me guess what you rented next. Um... Pride and Prejudice!"

I start to laugh. "Wow, Tess, I guess we know each other pretty well."

"Thank you so much for doing this for me," Tessa beams.

"I'd do anything for you."

As we near the end of the movie, I can see Tessa beginning to get sleepy. "I think it's time to carry you off to bed," I chuckle.

"No! I don't want to go to sleep yet," she whines.

"I don't have anymore movies, Tess. And even if I did, I don't think I could stand another chick flick," I groan.

"That's okay. We can do something else," she says seductively.

"And what else would you like to do?"

Tessa lies down on the couch and reaches for me, pulling me on top of her. I settle between her legs and start to kiss her. "I'm not hurting your ankle, am I?"

"I'm fine," she says between kisses. "Oh, Hardin," she moans.

I brush her hair away from her neck and begin to gently suck on her skin. I move up her neck, kissing the spot under her ear while my hand caresses up her thigh to her hip.

"That feels so good, Hardin. So good," she moans as she claws at my back.

As I pull back from kissing and touching her, she whimpers at the loss of contact. I quickly pull my shirt up and over my head and lean down to start kissing her again. I playfully suck on her lip before pressing my tongue against hers, continuing to give her sloppy, hurried kisses.

Tessa continues to run her hands up and down my back, before moving to my hair. She runs her fingers through it, before gently tugging at it as she wraps her legs around my waist, pressing my hardness against her, causing me to moan into her mouth. "Mmm, Tess."

I move my hand under her shirt, playfully squeezing her in my hand. "I want you so bad right now, baby," I whisper into her ear.

"I want you, right now, Hardin," she practically cries as she guides her hands to the small of my back, pressing me closer to her.

"Fuck, Tess..." I groan.

"Take me to the bedroom?" she begs.

I reluctantly pull myself away from Tessa, climb off the couch and pull her to stand up with me, before reaching down and lifting her up by the back of her thighs. She wraps her arms around my back and feverishly kisses me as I carry her to the bedroom.
