That Would Be Enough

6

Lin scrubbed at the dishes in his sink, trying to get the place looking presentable for Kate when she came over later. He was a bachelor through and through. He wasn't a slob, exactly, but he definitely wasn't a neat freak. All in all, he spent about an hour cleaning up once he was finally satisfied with the way it looked. He sprayed some air freshener for good measure.

Madeline was staying with her grandparents overnight, so Kate was free of responsibility for the evening. They met at a local Italian restaurant for dinner.

"So how long did it take you to write Hamilton?" She asked over a glass of wine.

"Almost seven years," he told her, making her gape. "A few of the songs took me almost a year to write."

"Wow," she told him. "Which ones?"

"My Shot was the hardest," he admitted. "I had to back up my claim that he was one of the most talented writers and speakers of his time. I had to write the best lyrics I'd ever written in my life."

"I can't imagine working on something for seven years," she mused.

"It was pretty epic," he agreed.

"So you played Hamilton for a year, right?"

He nodded.

"Why'd you decide to stop?"

"It was an exhausting schedule," he admitted. "It's a very challenging role, obviously, and doing it night after night was just starting to get to me. I needed a break."

"And now it's in how many cities?"

"Four," he said. "And soon to be Puerto Rico. I'll be playing Hamilton again there."

"Really? That's exciting."

"I'm not excited about growing my hair back out again," he admitted.

"I think you look sexy with long hair," she said, then regretted it. Usually, she wasn't that forward.

"The ladies do seem to like the man bun," he said lightheartedly.

Kate laughed as the waiter brought the check, which Lin picked up. After he'd paid, they agreed to meet at his place to hang out and have a drink.

Lin poured some wine and set the glasses on the coffee table as Kate looked around the living room a bit.

"You have a Super Nintendo?!" She asked excitedly, noticing his game console. Lin nodded, smiling. "I used to kill at Super Mario Brothers! Can we play?"

"Of course," he said, powering up the system. They sat on the floor like kids and started up a game. Kate was very good, which turned him on a bit somehow. They played for over an hour, sipping wine and laughing like kids. It was past 11:00 when Kate was finishing off her third glass of Merlot. Their efforts to beat Bowser were quickly becoming undone.

Lin tossed his controller away, giving up, as Kate gave it one last try. As she concentrated, Lin scooted a little closer and started kissing her neck. She laughed and half-heartedly pushed him away.

"Not fair!" She told him. Lin brushed her long, brown hair behind her shoulder and made his way lower. Soon, Kate gave up, knowing she wouldn't be able to concentrate. She threw her controller down and sighed, giving him a mock-annoyed look.

"You messed me up," she told him, turning to look at his face. Lin smirked and leaned his head in, capturing her lips. They began to kiss gently, Lin letting his hand cup her head, holding her in place. The kiss soon deepened as their tongues met. After a minute or so, they broke apart, letting their foreheads meet.

"I didn't know your Mario skills could be a turn on," he commented playfully. Kate laughed, letting her hand rest on his thigh.

"You're telling me, a grown woman, that my video game skills are a turn on?" She raised her eyebrows at him but smiled.

"The way you handle Yoshi," Lin joked. She laughed and then leaned back in for another kiss. Lin's hands began to wander to the sides of her shirt, finding bare skin underneath. She moaned a bit as he began tracing circles.

"Wanna take this to the bedroom?" He asked. Kate nodded and they stood up. Lin took her hand as they walked to his room. They stood at the foot of his head as Lin gently pushed her hair back. Kate stepped forward and took his face in her hands, kissing him hungrily. He gently led her to sit on the bed as the kissing continued. Lin reached for the hem of her top and pulled it over her head, then pulled off his own shirt. They both scooted towards the head of the bed, laying on their sides as they continued to kiss passionately.

Lin let his hand wander to her butt, gently rubbing and playing with her panty line. He reached behind her back and momentarily fumbled with her bra strap. Kate tossed it to the side and rolled onto her back as Lin gently began groping her. Their tongues danced with each other as Lin climbed on top of her, then ducked his head to capture one of her nipples between his lips.

Kate let out a whimper as he licked and sucked at her breasts, sending her reeling. She could feel him hardening beneath his jeans, up against her leg. She took the opportunity to undo his belt buckle then reach into his jeans, stroking him over his underwear. Her attention caused him to momentarily stop and let out a gasp. Lin sat up on his knees and quickly pulled off her pants and underwear together, tossing them to the side. He returned to her lips, kissing her as he let his hand reach down to find her core.

His fingers gently began to touch her, noticing she was already wet. He let his lips travel to her neck as his fingers continued to work, making her moan. Lin let one finger, then two slip inside her, curling up inside her. Kate reached down and unbuttoned his jeans, wanting to get him fully naked. Lin made quick work of kicking them off and tossing them to the side. He hovered over her, kissing her hungrily as she stroked him. He let his tip touch her entrance and looked into her eyes for permission. She kissed him in response and he slowly pushed into her.

Lin's eyes rolled back into his head a little at her tightness. She felt so good, enveloping him. He gave her a moment to adjust. They exchanged slow, deep kisses as they enjoyed the sensation of being connected for the first time. Lin began to move slowly, gently thrusting inside her.

Kate ran her hands up and down his back as he moved, filling her up completely. He looked into her eyes and nuzzled her neck as he thrusted into her, beginning to pick up the pace. Kate rolled her hips, meeting him thrust for thrust. The sounds she was making was turning him on even more.

Lin changed his position slightly, sitting up more on his knees to get better leverage. He let his hands rest on the bed beside her head as he began thrusting with more force, feeling the pleasure building and building. He heard her voice change a little, and he figured she was close to an orgasm. He began pounding into her harder, using his hips to rub up against her clit. As he picked up the pace, the only sounds in the room were moans and skin meeting skin.

She clung to him as she felt her walls close around him, and let out a scream of pleasure as he slammed into her. She felt a wave of pleasure sweep through her body as Lin let out a few grunts, reaching his own orgasm.

They both panted, trying to catch their breath as Lin collapsed on top of her. After a few moments, they shared a few sweet, deep kisses until Lin slowly extracted himself and fell onto the mattress next to her. If that was the first time, they couldn't wait to see what kind of connection they'd reach in the future.

Kate rolled over on her side and let an arm rest over his chest, snuggling in. Since Madeline was with her parents, she had the whole night to just lay and be with Lin. She sighed in satisfaction as Lin pulled a sheet over them and he kissed her temple. The both slipped into a restful sleep.
