THE LONG WAIT

Chapter 7: Lost in the heat of the moment

-Adam-

Ben sits on the sofa, his chin in his palm. The dark circles under his eyes indicate that he did not get a decent night's sleep. Shelley's thoughts kept him awake all night, as he kept trying to devise a plan to mend his relationship with her, but he was unable to come up with anything.

Should he give Mr. MarQueen a call? After all, the guy always seems to have an answer to everything. "Nah, better not," he mused. Who knows, he could be with my mom right now. They've both mentioned seeing each other while I've been away. I don't want to listen in on who knows what. He let out a sigh as he pushed himself up from the couch and headed to the kitchen.

"I could really use a drink right now, but I need to brush my teeth first," he said to himself. In the bathroom, he runs some water over his face as he stares at his reflection in the mirror. "Man, I am a mess. Just look at my hair." He tugs at his hair. "All of this wouldn't have happened if I had stayed away from her the moment I noticed her by the mall shelf." But no, I couldn't stay away. I was captivated by her curves, her bosom, and even her lips. Even now, just picturing those lips excites me greatly." With the toothbrush in his mouth, he gives his teeth a thorough scrub. Just then, he hears a knock on the door.

"What now? Who could be at the door?" With a spit of toothpaste in my mouth, I rinse and make my way to the door. I open the door to see Shelley standing there. With a shocked expression, I call out to her, "Shelley? You're here." As she walks in, she slams the door behind her, then pulls me towards her, capturing my lips in a passionate kiss with her arms wrapped around my neck. Taken by surprise, it took me some time to respond to her kiss. Once I understood what was happening, nothing could stop me from responding in kind.

With our lips drinking from each other, we couldn't help but stumble backwards with our bodies pressing together heatedly against the door, breathing heavily as our lips pressed together. I could taste our shared breath and feel our heartbeat as she wrapped her legs around my torso. Damn, I almost forgot how she tasted. A moan escapes my lips as I carry her to the sofa. As I sat on the sofa with her legs still wrapped around my hips, I held her steady with one hand on her back and another on her ass, giving it a gentle squeeze. I could hear her moan. Her excitement drives me to the edge. Could this be an invitation for more? I thought.

As we deepened our kiss, her lips were warm and soft. They parted slightly as my tongue slipped inside. She tasted like my favourite dessert, peaches with cream, perhaps because of her lip gloss. She presses her boobs against my chest with the same intensity that my erect cock feels against hers. I flip her on her back on the sofa, and I lay on top of her in between her legs with our joined hands above her head as I grind my groan against hers, sending a loud moan and whispers of my name as her other hand squeezes my ass. I pull myself off her when I realise I am losing control. With both of us panting and staring at each other, I couldn't believe I almost lost control of her. I apologise to her. "I am so sorry, Shelley. I can't believe I did that."

"It's okay, Ben. I know you won't hurt me," she says as she pulls her shirt to cover her exposed bra. "We both succumbed to the intensity of the moment," she remarks, revealing a subtle grin.

I kneeled in front of her with a concerned look, placing one hand on her knee. I inquired, "Are you okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?" Placing her hand on my hand, she says, "No, you did not. Really, I am fine. I am sorry for kissing you like that. It's just that I miss you and long for your kisses."

Chuckling, he joins her on the sofa. "I also miss you greatly, which is why I need to speak with you and explain what happened." I did not mean to abandon you." She cut me off. "I know," she says. "David explained everything to me. I know you had to help your brother, but you could have texted me. A simple 'Hi' would have been fine. Please, don't do this again."
