Make Time, Make Space

Chapter Two

Dave tasted sweet when she kissed him, smelling like roses. This made her giggle.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked, pulling away from the kiss. Behind his dark shades, Dave's eyes were crinkled with joy.

"You smell so pretty. Like flowers."

"Oh, great." Dave grumbled in a mocking tone. "I see I'm not manly enough to deserve your love. I suppose you should just leave my house and go be with a real man. Like Equius!"

Jade wrinkled her small nose in distaste. "Equius is gross. He sweats too much..."

"Ah, so you're only with me because I don't sweat! Now I see." Dave feigned fainting, placing one hand on his forehead and the other over his heart. "If I sweated too much, it's clear you'd leave me immediatly."

"Now, you know that isn't the case." Jade said sternly. "In fact, I think I'll prove it to you."

"Really?" Dave purred. "How?"

"Like this." She moved slowly, straddling him with her legs on either side of his. Dave gasped softly, his eyes glittering with excitement.

Jade leaned in to kiss him again, reaching up to run her fingers through his soft blonde hair. She heard him sigh with appreciation as she tilted his chin up to hers. "This is nice, but is there anything else you want?" Jade whispered. She wasn't very good at being... sexy... but Dave seemed to like it when she did that sort of stuff.

And practice makes perfect.

His fingers slid down, tugging at the rim of the simple white shirt Jade was wearing. "There's some stuff I want to do, but only if you're okay with it."

"I'll tell you if I'm not, Dave. Go ahead and do what you want." He was pulling slightly at her top- Jade could figure out what he wanted. (She didn't have a problem with it, naturally.)

Dave grinned at her- and then pulled her shirt off in one swift motion.

He was staring at her- wearing only a plain cotton bra- with his face bright red and his mouth just a little bit open. Jade wasn't the type to get insecure, but his silence was making her worry a little. Were her breasts too small? Her stomach too round? Speak, d**nit!

"Dave...?" She asked softly. "Is this okay?"

He shook his head, closing his mouth and looking up at Jade's face. "I'm sorry. It's just... you're so frickin beautiful."

Jade smiled at him and leaned in for a kiss, his arms warm against the bare skin of her waist.
