FERRY-LOVE-BOAT

Chapter 60

Maya's POV:

Carina sniffled once, the tip of her nose much redder than it used to be when she was cold, and when I took another step toward her, keeping my hand on her face, she didn't shy away from the closeness. I leaned my face toward hers and captured her lips. I tried to pass on my promise in that kiss that I would be faithful to her as long as she chose to be with me, and that wasn't a hard promise to make because I already knew - felt - that other people no longer provoked the same reactions as before.

I pulled away for a brief second only to capture her lips again in a sweet, delicate kiss, a brushing of lips that sealed a commitment I wasn't ready to speak aloud yet, but that I hoped she felt the same way I did.

-Should I still go to your place, or do you want the evening to yourself? - I asked softly with my forehead pressed against hers as the kiss ended.

-I still want you to come home with me. - She spoke back and kissed me gently once more before pulling away and reaching into her overcoat pocket for her cell phone.

-Wonderful. - I smiled and kissed her cheek while she asked for an Uber.

During the ride we were silent, but Carina's hand was in mine, our fingers intertwined as I ran my thumb along the back of her hand repeatedly. When we arrived in front of her house I quickly looked at my car parked in the garage next to Carina's and a small part of me wondered what a life would be like where that was my new normal, arriving home, parking my car in the garage and being greeted by the woman who makes my heart beat faster and some Italian pasta that would make me have a foodie orgasm.

-Vieni qui! - Come here. - Carina held out her hand to me as soon as I took off my jacket and hung it behind the door.

I followed her hand with a smile and let her pull me closer to her body before initiating a tender kiss, but one that was definitely more demanding than the ones we had exchanged in front of the bar. Her mouth was ferocious, her sweet, warm tongue snaked across my lips in search of mine, and when the two touched I let out a sigh as Carina moaned.

I brought my hands up to her back, my fingers running up and down the delicate fabric of her dress as Carina crossed her arms behind my head, resting them on my shoulders. I hugged her waist and pulled her closer to me, I wanted to feel her warm body against mine, and the middle of my legs pulsed in arousal even though I knew that I would probably be punished for my behavior soon.

We walked blindly across the room, our mouths parting only to take another route against our skins. I bit and licked Carina's neck the way I knew she liked it, my hand went down to her ass, giving it a firm squeeze as I enjoyed these moments of domination she was granting me. I knew that it would be over at any moment.

-I'm sorry too. - Carina held both sides of my face, preventing me from continuing the kisses I was making towards her cleavage. I creased my forehead at her words but waited for her to continue. - I'm not a jealous, insecure person. I don't know what happened, there isn't much logic in me when it comes to you, and I still don't know how to deal with it.

-It's okay. - I shrugged. I knew that if the situation were reversed, I would probably have the same reaction, and just the thought that this might happen in the future made me uncomfortable.

-Actually, I know what happened. - Her thumbs went back and forth against my cheeks. - She made me insecure when she said she knew how to do everything the way you liked and that it wasn't worth taking a chance with me.

-Carina... - I shook my head and closed my eyes. - Haven't I told you enough how much pleasure you give me and teach me every time you touch me? Aren't my body's reactions enough for you to be absolutely sure that no one will ever make me feel as good as you do?
