The Date

Chapter 24

Kate

We were lying on the large post bed, Jake and I.

I could feel every curve of his body push into mine as he laid over me on the bed. We were complete opposites, he was tall I was short, I was cold as his skin burned hot. He was strong as I was weak, with his hard muscle to my soft body. We tumbled to the bed arms and legs tangled together. He brushed his lips gently against my own, I was shocked by the electric current of tingles that travelled through me just moves his touches. He drew back slightly, just far enough for him to see my face and for me to see his. My eyes were open wide with wonder and I knew longing was as clear as day. I gave in to my desires and reached to touch his beautifully soft hair, it felt even better than it looked as I grabbed lightly at the ends never wanting to let go.

He groaned once again as he moved his wet lips along my jawline to my ear. Those tingles were turning faster around my body, faster and sharper.

I felt like he'd been holding back on me till this point. He groaned deeper and louder and leaned down to capture my mouth again. With all restraint gone his hands were now moving everywhere at once. On my face, on my shoulders around my waist then to the robe tie.

I gasped at this new intimacy as he undid the rope that freed my breasts to his glaring eyes. I knew he saw me before in the shower but now was different. Now was heated and I desired to have him look at me. He didn't move the robe, only slid his hands underneath touching skin to skin of my waist and back, to my surprising pleasure he cupped my breast in his hand.

It felt so good, I thought as he moved his hands around my breast playing with the puckering nipples. I couldn't help but moan as I pushed myself into his hands for more, I wanted more. More of him. God what is happening to me, no one had ever touched me like this before and I was acting like some sex addict for this man.

"Jake we can't" The words left my lips but didn't tell my body as I leaned up and brushed my lips against his. I couldn't help the groan that escaped from my throat. He groaned deep in his throat as I felt his arms come around me, his hands moving down the planes of my back, as my nipples tingled into his chest. I kept my lips on his. It felt so good, to be in his arms and feel so safe and warm. Not weak or frightened like before but whole. Like there was something missing that I never noticed before now, like a part of be has been lost... or never even there before Jake entered my life.

I was brought back to reality when he moved his hands lower end my body, lower... I panicked thinking things were moving too fast so I jumped groaning hoping he'd think it was my hip.

"Shit sorry!" he cursed moving way slightly. "I hate myself for hurting you like this" he moved off my leaning next to me on the bed. I felt bad lying that he just hurt me but I didn't want him thinking of me as some scared little virgin. "I promise I will never hurt you again" he said making me smile.

"You can't make that promise and it wasn't your fault. I just bruise easily" I laughed awkwardly as he looked back up at me again with those deep meaning full eyes.

"Kate, I rugby tackled you to the floor. I'm a good two hundred pounds heavier than you. I didn't think... I went too far in the game and I'm sorry" I knew he was. I could see it in his eyes and in his voice. I forgave him the moment it happened.

"Jake its fine I know you would never intentionally hurt me" I said. He softly rubbed my cheeks with his large hands; I couldn't help but tilt my head to the side signing in his warm large palm.

"You're like no other woman I've ever known" his stare was so intense I felt my face start to flush and my heart to jump. I moved my eyes from his to his lips and I stopped breathing all together. I felt him lean closer towards me and I felt hope shoot through me at the thought of his lips on mine.
