The impact of Cal's lips took my breath away for a moment as I stilled in shock at his sudden advance. It was seconds later before I registered what was happening and felt the built up tension that I had been feeling in my body the last few weeks suddenly fade away and I welcomed it all by allowing my mouth to move in time with his. My heart was racing and my body was full with lust as the feeling of his arms around me sent me into some kind of trance that I didn't want to come out of.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back; the movements were fast and hungry and I could feel the anger from within Cal radiating out of him in the way that he gripped my neck and pulled me close to him. Everything about it was vigorous with passion and I had never felt more alive.

I let out a sudden breath as Cal lifted me up with two huge hands around my thighs and I automatically felt myself straddle him as he moved briskly to the counter top and perched me down before moving between my legs as he slid me forwards quickly towards him making our torsos crash together. I didn't let my mouth depart from his once and kept my arms firmly gripped around his neck not wanting to let this moment end. His huge arms came around my lower back and squeezed my body tightly as he held it against his as if he were stopping me from moving away from him. With every passionate move I could feel the growing heat between my thighs.

Never in my life had I felt hungry for someone this way; all I knew in my head was that I wanted him now. All of the encounters we had had together since we had first come across each other had built up so much tension that had led to this anger fuelled passion.

The thought of pushing this further lay heavy in my mind and I didn't hesitate to show Cal what I wanted. I tugged at the hem of his sweatshirt before laying my palms on his body, feeling the contours of him which sent the lust I was feeling inside through the roof.

Cal accepted my gesture and pulled his sweatshirt over his head quickly as not to part from me for too long and came back to my lips greedily as he cupped my face in both hands before moving them to my shirt. He didn't wait for my permission and yanked it up over my head aggressively.

Now that the lines were clear between us, our actions continued instinctively as I moved quickly to unbuckle Cal's belt and he took over, pulling it out of his pants and unbuttoning them with one hand, keeping the other firmly around my tiny waist. He let them drop to the floor and tightened his arm around my waist, lifting me up from the counter top as he tugged at the top of my leggings and I proceeded to pull them quickly down before he settled me back on the counter. I kicked off my boots as he pulled my leggings down my legs and off, never breaking away from our kisses and the second they hit the floor his strong grip hit my thighs as he shoved them apart and took his place between them.

I tightened my legs around his body and my arms around his neck as if I was holding onto him for my life and his grip turned mutual as he squeezed his arms around my waist and held me tight against him. I edged forward on the counter until I was perched on the very edge and felt Cal's grip around me disappear as I sensed him lower his underwear. The moist and yearning feeling between my legs was growing more and more unbearable to handle with every minute that passed by and the moment I knew he was ready I relaxed my tightened thighs and parted my legs the furthest they'd go. Cal's hand moved to my underwear and I felt his thumb slip into the side and move them over, exposing me. He grazed his thumb up and down my slit and I felt my stomach tightening intensely.
