Beneath Holy Ground

Chapter Eighteen- Gray and Blue

I do not own the video above :)

Claire's POV

I broke the kiss, Leon being shoved backwards until he was seated on the edge of the bed. I wasted no time in straddling his hips and with his body against mine I could not help the small vibrations between my legs. I had not been this close to intimacy and now that I was, I was nervous.

I would never admit to being slightly petrified but with the romance movies I watched ever so often I believe I could at least pretend. I was hot and cold at the very same time, my nipples hard against the fabric of my top. His eyes lingered on erect nipples before they moved to my face.

Leon had a particular stare that I had always found rather sexy, it was the very same stare he would issue on that dark September night. It was a sexy stare that often left me feeling as though he had Xray vision and was staring right through me.

It was as though his eyes were daring me to continue what I started.

Oh, but I would. It was about damn time I lost my virginity.

Leon shrugged his jacket off, my eyes moving over his arms and gray undershirt. I had always found him attractive but having him undress before me only tripled that feeling. I was beyond words to have him described and the odd feeling developing between my legs was evidence.

My underwear was completely saturated.

I followed his actions, my top being pulled over my arms and head before we started kissing again. His fingers moved over the exposed skin of my back while on his tongue lingered vodka, my fingers now tangled in his hair. It was horrible to think that he was drinking prior to his 'visit' and possibly doing this out of slight intoxication but I did not care.

I continued moving my fingers through his hair because I believe messy hair suited him far better.

I broke the kiss, my teeth being sunk into my lower lip. Claire you are about to fuck your best friend.

"I haven't been with a man before" I finally said it, Leon's gray eyes giving nothing away as his eyes lingered on my lips. Damn it would be nice to actually read his emotions yet he made it so easy to be a blank slate.

"I know, I can see it in your eyes" his voice was horse as he flipped us so that I was lying on my back. He was positioned between my legs, one arm being his support as he stared down at me. My eyes moved to my shorts and exposed thighs.

"How could you possibly tell?" My breaths were laboured, my breasts rising and falling as Leon proceeded to massage my thighs.

"I saw it in your eyes the first night we met Claire" he told me and I believe now would be the right time for the ground to swallow me. Damn it Christopher, if only you had permitted small dates from time to time maybe I would not have been that transparent.

"And here I was thinking I was good at acting" I mumbled to myself but I believe he heard me.

"It is far from a bad thing Claire. It had always been easy for me to read your eyes, your eyes are beautiful and filled with innocence" my cheeks grew warm. Usually I would have scolded myself for falling to a man's flattery but I wanted to be flattered.

I would never allow Leon to be aware of that because we were both unaware of what this would become.

"And how many women have you used that line on?" I asked as my eyes lingered on his lips for a matter of minutes. Leon was without a smile but I knew he was very much aware that was my poor attempt at making a joke.

"You are stunning and I am just saying this now because a year of silence was the hardest part of my life. Claire before we parted at-" I cut him off with a kiss, my eyes closed as I tried not to reflect on the betrayal. Reflecting on such a thing would only lead to the mood being highly sour and I wanted to be taken.
