The Best Of Me

Chapter 15

Harmony

     Brantley kissed me outside my door. I had stopped counting dates we were always together anyway so I wasn't sure what counted as a date and what didn't anymore. I didn't want Brantley to leave. My bed felt so empty without him which was weird because he had only slept in it that one time. I just didn't want to sleep alone anymore. We had been dating for weeks and we never got farther than kissing. I think Brantley was waiting for me to make the next move. He knew that I was different and would want to take things slower. I was hopinh that tonight would be the night. "Why don't you come in for awhile." I sounded so out of breath. I don't know if it was my nerves or all the kissing we'd been doing on my doorstep. "You don't have to ask me twice" Every time Brantley stepped foot in my apartment it was like the whole atmosphere changed.

I went over to my ipod, plugged it into the stereo system, and hit shuffle. Keith Whitley "When You Say Nothing At All" started playing. "Dance with me Brantley." "Nah. I don't really dance." "Aw come one." "Okay." I pulled him to the middle of my living room and he put his arms around me and we started dancing. I put my head on his shoulder and he pulled me closer to him. He started singing along with the song and it brought tears to my eyes. I never knew it was possible to feel this comfortable or be this happy with another person. The song changed but I couldn't tell you what song it was or who it was by. I was completely lost in the moment with Brantley. We didn't stop dancing although I'm pretty sure the song wasn't a slow one anymore. His arms tightened around me pulling me even closer and he took his hand and moved my face toward his. I looked into those beautiful green eyes and everything else in the world disappeared. He brought his lips to mine, softly at first and then harder. This kiss was no different than any other yet it wasn't the same as any other either. His hand went to my butt and he pressed himself against me even closer. The kiss grew deeper and hungrier. With his lips he asked a question and with mine I answered. He picked me up and carried me to my bedroom without a word.

Brantley layed me down on my bed and kissed me again. His hands were all over me followed closely by his lips. He lifted my shirt off and threw it to the side. Soon after his shirt joined mine on the floor. I couldn't help but admire his body. I ran my hands and my lips over his chest and his stomach. My hands went to his belt and fumbling I unuckled it and started to undo his pants. He grabbed my hands and pinned them to the bed above my head. He kissed me again. If he could feel me trembling he didn't say a word. Neither of us said anything as if afraid to shatter the moment. He took one hand away leaving the other holding mine above my head and he unclasped my bra. He ran his fingers over my breasts following his fingers with his lips. I moaned softly. I wanted him more than I'd ever wanted anything. He let go of my wrists so he could pull my bra all the way off and add it to our shirts on the floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him again. Pressing my naked chest against his. The heat between us was enough to start a small fire.

Brantley kissed my stomach and undid my pants before adding them along with his to the growing pile of clothes on the floor. Now there was nothing between us but my lace things and his boxers. He teased me with kisses right sbove my underwear and the tops of my thighs. I wanted to scream at him to hurry up already but I didn't. After what felt like hours our underwear were at the top of the pile and he was kissing me again pressing himself against me. The heat was almost unbearable. Brantley's lips were on my neck and then my breasts before trailing back up to my lips. I gently bit his lip and he smiled and kissed me even harder. I pulled my lips away from his just enough to whisper against them. "I love you Brantley" "I love you too Harmony" And then I felt him pressing up against me and I gasped as he pushed inside me.

I lay in his arms. I was too exhausted to move but it was a pleasant feeling. Brantley pulled the blanket over us and wrapped his arms around me as I cuddled up to his chest. I never wanted to leave this bed. Brantley loved me. Three words had never felt so good to my ears before. "Are you okay Harmony?" "I've never been better." "Why are you shaking? Are you cold?" "No. I promise I'm good Brantley. Seriously perfect. I just didn't know it could feel so...... Good like that. It was amazing it was perfect. I loved it and I love you." "I love you too Harmony. I wasn't just in the moment I really meant it." "I know Brantley. I can tell in the way you touch me and the way you hold me that you would never hurt me. Not intentionally at least." "You're right I wouldn't. Are you sure you're okay though? At one pint it seemed like I was hurting you." "At no point did it ever hurt. I just kept expecting it to hurt though." "Why?" "Because it always has before. You're only my second and well, that was the first good experience I ever had." "What do you mean?" "Nothing. Please Brantley. Can we just enjoy the moment? We have our whole lives to talk about these things." "Yeah fine but you know once you tell me I'm going to kill him right?" "Which is exactly why we aren't talking about this right now." "Okay anything for you babe." Brantley kissed me on the top of my head and we fell asleep naked and wrapped in each others arms.

I woke up to the feel of the sun on my face and Brantley still pressed up against me holding me tight. I turned to face him and kissed him until he opened his eyes. Those green eyes that looked straight into my soul. Brantley kissed me and I kissed him back. I wanted this forever. I wanted nothing more than for his face to be the last thing I saw every night and the first thing I saw every morning for the rest of my life. For the rest of forever. I had never felt love like this before and I never wanted it to end. Brantley rolled over on top of me and kissed me harder before slipping a hand underneath me to lift me up so he could start where he'd left off the night before.
