Love & Romance ~ A study of Intimacy

Chapter 10

Lee stared wide eyed at me, shocked at the idea. I felt myself blush at the idea as well, but I try to put logic behind my request. I needed to test my thoughts and see for myself what would Jasmina would feel.

"I-It's for research. You be Gerald, I'll be Jasmina." Lee continued to stare, a small tint of pink running along his cheeks. It was kind of adorable to see him blush like that. My heart skipped a beat as Lee eventually stood up from his seat and knelt in front of me, face-to-face with me. I stared deep into his eyes, realizing what I had just asked them to do and seeing him actually go through with my request. He was my manager! Then again, he said he would help me.

As he began to lean in, I feel the blood rushing into my head, causing my face to warm and settle into a shy red hue. He stopped, waiting for me to come forward on my own accord. I silently gulped. I was really going to do this. I was going to kiss my manager. This was insanity, but it was going to happen.

I leaned forward and felt my lips softly press against his, taking in his scent as I inhaled. A hint of cologne and deodorant hit my nose, but I became too and enraptured in the kiss to really care. I shyly placed my hands on his shoulders, feeling his bare skin beneath my fingers and palms. He was warm and his skin felt so smooth to the touch. He took care of himself well. I close my eyes and let myself take in the kiss instead of gushing over these new details.

As we pressed our lips together, my mind felt frantic, desperate to find a word to describe what was going on. Crazy? Beautiful? Unnatural? There were so many thoughts that ran through my mind but the gentle brush off Lees's lips erased each one as they came.

I felt Lee slowly wrap an arm  around my waist and cupped my cheek with his free hand, slow enough for me to register and take in so I wouldn't jump in surprise. His hands were shaking slightly, like he was nervous to touch me. Was he?

My heartbeat began to accelerate as I gently cradled his head in my hands, melting further into the kiss and letting the moment sink into my mind. As I let out a small breath through my nose, Lee did as well in perfect sync. My heart skipped slightly at the event. Lee gently pressed forward, pushing further against my lips and running his hand along the side of my head to rest on my neck. I almost naturally understood the silent gesture as a question: can I please do more?

As if by instinct, I knew the answer I would give. My mind was still there, monitoring everything and memorizing the feeling and emotions running through my body, but I was able to get into this practice and let my carnal emotions decide. I pressed back, letting an extremely soft moan escape my throat and echo out of my nose like a hum. My fingers tensed slightly, shuddering a bit at both of my nervousness and the feeling rushing through my veins.

I could feel Lee's lips curve a bit into a smile against mine. Was he happy  that I allowed him? Was he enjoying it as much as I undoubtedly was? I felt him gently nibble my lower lip, sending a small shiver up my spine.

I could feel myself slowly lose control of my thoughts as I felt him take my lower lip between his and ever so softly lick over it. Dear God how was this man able to make me squirm? My mind instantly became filled with desires I didn't think to imagine. I pictured him guiding me back onto the couch and I was getting lost in the kiss, we'd move to a sensual foreplay and a hot night of sex. I began to desire what he looks like under his pants.

How was this happening?! A mere kiss was able to do this?! Maybe I really was naïve in the way of romance. Maybe there was much I still had to learn.

I slightly open my mouth, allowing him access to it. My mind is strictly focused on learning, even as Lee slowly glided his tongue into my mouth and prodded mine. I shivered at the feeling, clutching Lee slightly as rubbed my tongue against his and return. Lee let out a groan of his own at this sensation. I felt a little elated that he was enjoying the kiss as well. He cupped the back of my head and moved a bit closer to me, pressing his hips against my knees.

However, before we could have gone further, Lee guided his face back, staring deep into my eyes.
