"I heart you."
"I heart you, too."
These were the words that we uttered to each other before falling silent. I reveled in the sensation and feeling of Althea's arms wrapped tightly around my waist while her warm breath danced along my skin, crawling from my neck then down to my chest. The warmth makes the tiny hairs on my skin stand on end and the soft flesh on the peaks of my chest tightens.
My body's reaction to something so simple effectively drives the drowsiness from my mind and a nervous lump to form in my throat.
I was no virgin. It was no secret that David and I had our fair share of lovemaking but for some reason, with Althea I felt like I was as inexperienced as I was in highschool; in a way, I suppose I was. These feelings that that I had for Althea had grown exponentially and with that, so did my desire for her. So did my desire to please her and share myself with her in all sense of the word.
My heart begins to hammer in my chest and the temperature of my skin rises considerably from the sudden arousal. As if fate was testing my self control, Althea moves beside me, shifting her body so that her body was pressed flush against my back. She also shifts herself lowed so that her face was nestled in the crook of my neck, her lips and nose pressed against my skin.
God, not my neck. My neck is my weakness. On her first breath, I groan lowly as I clench my fists into tight balls. The sound rumbling in my throat before escaping past my lips in muted and shaky sigh.
"Mm-are you okay?" Althea asks in a hushed tone.
The question causes her lips to move against my neck and my body stiffens in response, "Y-yeah. I'm--I'm good. I'm fine."
My unconvincing answer doesn't go unnoticed and she look up at me through hooded and tired eyes. "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing."
To further my torture, she reaches up and cups the back of my neck to make me look at her. "Tell me." she whispers but the firm grip she had on my neck forces my eyes close and my skin to become hypersensitive.
"I..."
"You?"
"I... Uh..." I turn my body towards her and place my hand on her hip, pulling her even closer to me.
"Jade, what's going on?"
Without an answer that I was willing to say out loud, I simply lean forward, placing a soft kiss on her cheek then down along the defined jaw. I feel Althea shudder with each kiss and it drives me on, capturing her lips between mine in a firm kiss.
Although it started of tamed, searching, and shy; it quickly grew in heat and fervor. With a hum, Althea reaches up and tangles her fingers tightly in my hair. It causes a low hum to emanate from my throat and the hunger and fire that I felt to increase a hundredfold.
My fingers claw at her hips, lifting and slipping under her black tank to; making contact with the smooth but overheated skin that it covered. I wasn't sure how cold or hot my hands were but as soon as our skins meet, Althea moans into my mouth and it snaps whatever control I had left. I move my hands up and down her sides before moving to her back; and with no bra to block my path, I was able to get a feeling of the full expanse of Althea's toned back and smooth skin.
I hungered to feel her. To feel every inch of her body. I wanted to know every inch of Althea's body just like I knew her heart. I wanted to make her as my own so no one else could ever lay claim on her.
My hands push against her shoulders to make her lay flat on her back and then I moved, lifting myself so that half my body lay on top of hers; slipping my leg between hers and feeling her heated core against my thigh.
"J-Jade..."
For the first time since we almost kissed when I gave her the bracelet, Althea's voice trembles with nervousness and to know that I was causing this gave me a high.
