The next two months went by so sweetly and so smoothly. I had been my happiest with Rhett. We had done so many new things together and some old. We held hands. We shared kisses. We let the world know that we were together. It was so thrilling, so wild. But we were in love, so deep down I knew the day was coming.
We were at my place, laying in my bed. We had gotten more comfortable with each other, but we hadn't taken it to the next step. I was afraid to, if I were being honest. I had been with a few different girls and that I was used to, but a man? That sounded painful to me, scary. I wasn't ready. I thought.
We just laid next to each other, occasionally touching each others arm or face. That was nice, calming. We had fallen asleep many times before, but this time, Rhett wanted to do more than sleep.
"Link, have you thought about it?" he said, turning to face me.
He was wearing a pair of green gym shorts and a simple white cotton tee. He smelled like rain, one of my favorite natural scents. I perked up, intrigued by his question, "About what?"
His face went red then and he was quiet. I could see it in his eyes. He was talking about sex.
"Oh..." my voice trailed off as my heart beat sped up. I didn't quiet know what to say.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make things uncomfortable. I was just curious..."
The room went quiet. Rhett's heavy breathing filled my ears and it took me to another place.
I imagined him on top of me, his sweaty body making love to mine in a way I had never experienced before. I had thought about this before, and each time I was forced to relieve myself of it's consequences. But this time, Rhett was here and he was willing.
"I have," I said finally. I felt his beady eyes staring down at me. I knew he wanted it. I felt clammy and my stomach felt sour. I thought I might throw up. I was so nervous, but I told myself to look at him. So I did.
He was so handsome. He looked so peaceful laying next to me. He looked warm and inviting and he overcame me. His presence made me want it more than I knew I did.
I slid my body close to his. I felt his hot breath on my lips and his lust melted into mine. We became one.
In that moment, nothing else mattered. I felt beautiful. He made me confident and he made the pain worth it. He always made everything worth it. He was gentle with me, and carried me carefully. He let me guide his hands while he guided mine.
It was life changing to be honest. It was like we were the only inhibitors of another planet. No one could break us apart, nothing could stop us except for that body jerking climax. Then it was over.
We were back on Earth. There was the possibility of the phone ringing, the possibility of Rhett leaving. Hell, they were endless.
I was partially sad when Rhett pulled his body from mine. It was like he was the magnet and he dragged away all the warmth and the confidence I was just experiencing. I was now just naked and vulnerable.
It took a minute for either of us to speak, but at last, Rhett laughed. I looked at him, my eyes wide. My glasses were a little foggy from Rhett's hot breath. I could make out his shape though.
He was smiling at me, his face wasn't red. He wasn't ashamed to be naked in front of me and he looked more confident than he did the day he asked to kiss me for the first time.
"What?" I asked, pulling the blanket up over my cold body. He shook his head, "Oh nothing."
I raised a brow, "What is it?"
He shook his head again, "Don't worry about it."
I was smiling now. His joy was a power than always won me over.
"Tell me Rhett."
He looked over my body, then removed the blanket. "You really grew up," he said.
I laughed then. Of all the things he could have said, that was what came out of his mouth.
He laughed, placing his arm around me, "You know...I could go for a second round."
My eyes widened and my body perked up.
"Oh really?"
Rhett laid his head next to mine. Our noses were so close, I could smell his breath. It smelled like me. And I loved that.
"Well, what do you say?"
I wanted to visit that planet again. The one where it was just us. Alone, happy, and warm.
So I looked into his eyes and smiled my best smile.
"Show me what you got, loverboy."
