To Have and To Hold

Chapter 47

"Mike...I'm here, ain't I?"

Well, that was a start.

He placed a chaste kiss on those tempting, pink lips. God, this was heaven. A taste of the sweetest treat. Just another taste. A little nibble on her bottom lip... Her eyes closed again,and she exhaled.

"Promise you won't leave me. That you'll stay. With me...forever..."

"Forever, Mike?" She regarded him from beneath hooded, heavy eyes, and he could tell she also was not immune to the physical proximity.

"And a day..." Both hands holding her sweet face, he held her still, as his lips took the prize, kissing her over and over. The kisses remained sweet for a second, before he allowed the contact to linger just a tad bit, asking, begging...convincing and swaying.

Open up for me, baby girl. Let go of those defenses. I won't hurt you. Never again...

Her lips parted and her sweet breath inflated his soul and made him feel light and sparkly. His tongue became engaged in the contact, as he gently licked her lips between little kisses and nips with his teeth. Lisa made a small groaning sound. Her legs closed more, pulling him into her body more. He felt her soft body reacting to the hard on which was very much encouraged by the feel of her body. God, she felt so amazingly good!

Deepening the kiss, he allowed his tongue to sweep into her mouth as she opened up to him like a flower. Her tongue greeted his, and they reconnected in the dance, tasting and caressing, giving and taking.

Lisa's arms closed behind his neck, one hand holding on to his shirt, the other playing with his hair, her grasp tightening.

The kiss went on and on: giving and taking, exploring and challenging, reviving and promising. Michael kissed a path down Lisa's neck and she moaned in that deep, sexy way he adored.

"Baby girl...Gosh, you taste like heave. I love you...I need you...You are what always brings me back to life. You are my life."

Lisa's hand was busy kneading the tight muscles of his back, then she explored further south, grabbing his ass and pulling him into her. She held on to his pants and pulled out his shirt, while he found the sexy little hollow of her throat, licking it and kissing the butterfly beat of her pulse. In the meantime, his hands automatically slid to her waist, holding her, then gliding up over her torso to her breasts. He needed her so very badly. Maybe this was going all too quickly- but she was his medicine and he had been without a refill for too long.

"Mike...wait...we...we gotta..."

Stop? Talk? Make love? His vote was for option three.

Yeah, Michael, I'm sure you getting straight back into her panties will do wonders to assure her things are different.

Shit! His eyes flew open and he hesitated. Lisa seemed to have sensed the change in him. Her body shifted slightly.

When her eyelids fluttered half open, he was intoxicated by the fire in her eyes. Oh yeah...she might not be sure, but her body was pretty convinced how it wanted things to go. That one thing had always been sure as gold between them.

"What? You don't wanna...you know...?"

"Well....I'd be lying if I said I didn't wanna jump right back to getting you naked...but..." Her voice was deep and laced with her passion.
