Love & Romance ~ A study of Intimacy

Chapter 16

I listened, taking in his question. My body said yes, but my mind wanted to calm down first. I needed to get my head straight but I couldn't help but feel lulled into his charm and his warm embrace around my body. I closed my eyes, let out a small sigh, and nodded. I wanted to do more. If my mind wanted to stop this, then I would, but I let my body take control for a little while longer until then.

Lee nodded before lowering his head and kissing my shoulder again, pressing his lips against my skin and ever so slightly nibbling it. I let out a gasp and tilted my head to the side naturally, giving him more space to work with and touch. This was beyond intoxicating and I was falling for it slowly but surely.

As my eyes fluttered and close, I felt Lee's fingers run along my stomach and stop at my hips. One hand slowly ran up along my upper thigh, cresting over it between his fingers and thumb. I couldn't help but let out a deep shuddering sigh as the tip of this thumb drew a line along the fabric covering my thigh.

His other hand, however gently traced the hem of my shirt. I could feel his emotions at the tips of his fingers. He was calculating, thinking of what to do, wondering if he really wanted to go through what he was itching to go through. I became impatient, wishing for him to make a choice.

I had never experienced touches like this. This new experience became something my mind could revel in, to explore and indulge in for the name of pleasure and science. Despite this, my instincts were practically screaming for Lee to do more, to not tease me anymore than he already had.

Or was this 'Gerald' speaking to Jasmina, easing her into a lull to guide her spirit towards the sex they were going to have? The line became blurred and faded; impossible to read.  But I didn't care.

"K-Keep going..." I was sure my face was beat red. I was positive that Lee could hear my heartbeat pound against my rib cage. If it wasn't obvious how flustered I was against Lee's chest, then I would have been deeply surprised. 

Lee paused for a moment before sliding the tip of his middle finger up my stomach and brushed the underside of my breast with his thumb. A gasp and moan escaped my lips at the sensation. I touched my own breasts before, but only for examination and sometimes just because I could. Having someone else touch them was a different sensation, one that sent my nerves on the edge. 

I could only imagine what it would feel like with his bare hands on my skin.

However, he froze again at  the sound of my voice. I could barely feel his fingertips graze against my breast. He wasn't going to continue? His lips lifted from my neck and Lee nuzzled my head with his forehead. 

"...Sorry, I went too far..."

"W-Wha...?" I became suddenly confused and upset. Why was he stopping now? He had barely touched me and I was sitting here, desiring more. Was this all he would do? 

Lee quietly slid out from behind me and stood, causing me to look up at him. What I saw surprised me.
