Taylor x Travis: In Every Life

new years

"Five! Four! Three! Two! One!" Everyone screamed in unison as the clock ticked down, holding their glasses high in the air and tilting their glitter clad faces towards the roof.

Travis' lips descended on mine in a soft kiss, his hands tightening around my lower back.I rose up onto the tips of my toes, my fingertips brushing against the hair on the nape of his neck. His kiss consumed me, making my knees bump together as I tried to press myself closer. After a long, long moment, we pulled apart to breathe. I pressed my nose gently against his, bumping it playfully like I often did, and Travis smiled.

"Happy New Year." He whispered.

"Happy New Year." I responded. "I love you." Travis' hands slid gently up, cupping my face.

"I love you more." His tone was insistent, but instead of playfully arguing back like I usually did, I just brushed my lips against his again. Travis pulled me close and groaned my name quietly as I slid my tongue lightly over his bottom lip. "Tay, not here baby."

"No one's watching." I murmured. Tree had given me strict instructions to keep the PDA to a minimum so I wouldn't get hammered for being a 'slut', but right now everyone was too busy celebrating to notice us right now."

"You say that, but I count three cameras on us right now." Travis said in my ear.

"So take me somewhere out of sight." I whispered right back.

"Well we can't go home just yet."

"I didn't mean we had to go home." I smiled to myself, biting down on my lip. "I just meant out of sight." Travis raised an eyebrow at me, unsure if I meant what he was thinking.

In the earlier stages of our relationship - when we hadn't been able to keep our hands off each other for very long - we'd often snuck away to have private moments together when we probably shouldn't have. We'd never been caught - thank god, imagine the scandal - but there had been a few close calls. It had been a while since we'd done it, since I'd spent the last few weeks staying with Travis, but all the practices and games had left him so busy and tired that we only had a few minutes to whisper over the pillows in the darkness of our room before he fell asleep. Don't get me wrong, I understood and wanted to support him as much as I could, but that didn't stop my need for him. He knew what I was asking for.

Sliding one hand up my arm, Travis weaved his fingers through mine and started leading me through the throng of celebrating people. We were stopped a couple times on our way by some friends and family wishing us a happy new year but after a few minutes we slipped away down a back hallway and round a corner. Not even waiting until we were fully out of sight to anyone who might walk past, Travis dropped my hand and grabbed me by the waist before pushing me against the wall. His mouth slanted over mine as a huff escaped my lips, and I tilted my chin up in an invitation to kiss me harder, which Travis immediately took.

His tongue probed against my lips and I parted them eagerly, straining forwards for more. Our tongues tangled and I lifted my arms, sinking my fingers into the longer parts of his hair near the top of his head and pulling him so close I was sandwiched tightly between his body and the wall. The kiss deepened as we clutched at each other like two horny teenagers going at it without a care in the world instead of two fully grown adults.

"Someone's gonna see." I mumbled between kisses, fingers sliding down to curl into the fabric of his dark brown shirt.

"You started this." Travis reminded me, and I giggled. He pulled back, gently tracing my lips with his thumb. "God, you are so gorgeous." He murmured. "I love you so much."

"I..." My eyes automatically drifted to the right as I heard a shuffling sound, and then I froze. "Travis." I breathed.

Travis glanced up. There was a guy standing halfway around the corner, a camera in his hands pointed right at us, capturing the intimate way our bodies were pressed together. As soon as Travis looked at him, the guy bolted and vanished almost immediately.
