Breathless

The Next Step

Shit yo. Shit. Shit. Shit, I thought over and over again, my ass planted firmly on the couch as I stared into the black tv screen. Had I just seen my roommate going down on another woman? I had, hadn't I? I'd never had thought Alex would do that. Not like I cared, really. I could hear awkward mumbling from upstairs, but I did my best to tune it out. I didn't want to know what they were talking about, not right now.

I decided to text Brian, hopefully taking my mind off of the events that just burned themselves into my retinas. I reached out for my phone, swatting around frantically until I found it on the other end of the couch.

Hey babe. Doing anything tonight?

I sat and waited for Brian to text me back, only shifting as my stomach growled loudly, stirring me from my trance. I looked down at my gut, narrowing my eyes as it growled again. What did we have in the kitchen that didn't require cooking? I couldn't think of anything, so I pushed myself up from the couch and made my way into the kitchen. As I walked into the kitchen, my phone buzzed violently, the screen lighting up with Brian's text.

Only u, if u want. ;)

I rolled my eyes, unlocking my screen and quickly tapping out a response.

Only if you get lucky, babe. C;

I set my phone on the counter and swung open the pantry door, browsing over the shelves. Ah yeah, we still have thin mints. I snatched the box from the shelf and made my way back to the living room, only to run into Alex on the way.

"Um..." She and I muttered at the same time, going to great lengths to avoid eye contact. I was studying the box of cookies, and she was finding her feet particularly interesting at the moment.

"So, about what you just saw," She started, chewing on her lip.

I threw my hand up to stop her, shaking my head. "Let's just drop it," I shrugged, shuffling past her to get back to the living room. I fell back onto the couch and looked at my phone again. Brian hadn't texted me back, and I wondered why until I heard the screech of tires in my driveway. Only moments later, I heard erratic knocking on my door, seconds after the car had been turned off.

"It's open!" I yelled, not willing to get up again to open the door. Brian burst through the door and threw himself onto the couch next to me.

"Oh, cookies," He said under his breath, snatching a few from the box in my hands and began stuffing them in his mouth. I glanced at him, my lips turning up in a stupid smile as I watched him down the cookies.

"Thanks, Brian. I went all the way into the kitchen to get these, and you just take them!" I groaned, shifting so I could look at his face. He had this dumb grin dancing across his lips as he continued to chomp at the cookies.

"No problem doll face," Brian winked, finishing his cookies so he could stroke my thigh. I groaned dramatically and laced my fingers through his own. He tugged on my hand and pulled me into his lap, wrapping his arms around my waist, burrying his head in my neck. His stubble tickled my skin and made me shudder, sucking in a small breath. I could feel his lips turn up in a smug grin against my neck.

"You smug bastard," I hissed, tangling my fingers through his hair. I watched as hints of gray glittered in the overhead light. God, he was so incredibly handsome, my heart thudded against my ribs as I continued to stare at him, my eyes taking in every inch of his body. I continued to fiddle with his hair as he kissed my neck, his tongue darting againt my skin. I gasped, my grip on his hair growing tigheter.

I heard Alex say something, and I turned around to answer her, but Brian turned my head back towards him, his lips leaving my neck to press against my lips. He slid his tongue inside my mouth, his hands groped my breasts, tugging my shirt up to unclip my bra. Alex whistled from behind, but if Brian heard it, he didn't show, continuing to work at my chest. I moaned under my breath, trying to keep Alex from hearing, though I could just barely hear her whistle again as she walked up the stairs, leaving me home alone with Brian.

To be honest, in the almost year we had been dating, I hadn't had sex with Brian yet. I wanted to, but there was something holding me back, keeping me from taking our relationship to the next level. Though we had never gotten that far, I wondered if maybe we would tonight, alone in the dim light of my living room, nothing but the soft chatter of my roommate and her lover as we made love. I thought it awkward to have sex while I was able to hear my roommates, so I pulled away to grab my phone, leaving Brian whimpering.

I opened my music and switched on one of my favorite songs, My Heart I Surrender by I Prevail. God, this song was so romantic and beautiful, and I couldn't think of a better song to make love to. I turned back and crashed my lips against Brians again, frantically tearing my shirt over my head and throwing it onto the floor beside us. I found it funny, remembering the first time Brian and I actually made out, a situation almost exactly like this.

I pushed Brians shirt over his head, leaving his heaing chest bare against the warmth of the house. He tugged off my bra, which had been loosely hanging from my shoulders. It landed on the floor beside the coffee table. I shivered, not because I was cold, but because this was the first time Brian had ever seen me completely topless. I was growing extremely self conscious, but as he began kissing along my collarbone, the worries started to melt away. His hands nimbly worked at my my jeans button, undoing it and began pushing them down my legs. I adjusted myself so that I could pull them off, my panties soon following. I frowned for a moment, realizing that Brian was still mostly clothed. I pulled back for a second, pouting as I stared town at his pants. He must have caught the gist, and started erratically taking his pants off. He ripped off his boxers and grabbed my hips, lifting me up and laying me down on the couch. I stared at his bare chest as he straddled me, his lips trailing down every inch of my body. My breath caught in my throat as he began to work at my breasts, whispering soft words as he began to push himself inside of me. I gasped, feeling a sort of white hot pain near my gut. He stroked my hair as he continued to grind his hips, the pain inside me slowly easing away until my whimpers were replaced with gasps of pleasure. My eyes fluttered shut as my nails dug into his back, and I could feel the sweat begin to bead on his skin. I felt pressure build in my stomach, and I ached for relief, pressing my hips closer to his. He moved faster, his thrusts more erratic and demanding, and I knew he was just as close as I was. My moans grew louder, and I could hear him begin to moan as well, his hands traveling all over my body. I gasped loudly, arching my back as he and I came.

I fell back onto the couch, panting softly, Brian leaning down to nuzzle against me. I smiled weakly, rolling over so Brian could lay down, letting me curl up against his naked, panting chest. He kissed the top of my head, pulling a blanket from the top of the couch and wrapping it around our bare bodies.

"I love you," He whispered in my ear, his breath stirring my hair.

"I love you too, Brian," I mumbled, slowly drifting off to sleep.
