London Nights

Five: Desire

Seconds felt like minutes as I took in what he had just said. He looked so vulnerable in that moment, but still like the sexy, funny man I knew.

I put one hand around his neck while the other raved through his thick hair and he closed his eyes. I leaned in closer and pressed my lips on his. Every resolve we had before flew out the window as he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. I felt his thighs under me as I straddled him, not even breaking away an inch as we continued to kiss.

Taron pulled away eventually, biting my lip in the process. He opened his eyes slowly and they were blazing.

"We should stop" his voice was barely above a whisper.

"Why?" I breathed out as I cupped his face in my hands. His jawline really was sharp and the stubble across it made it look even more so.

Finally his eyes met mine "I don't want to do this if you don't feel the same way"

I smiled, my whole body covered in goose bumps. He really was a big softie, huh?

"I feel the same way" I lightly shook my head "It's embarrassing. I had a thing on you for years"

Taron's face expression changed from worry to happiness. He smiled while I still sat on his lap, ashamed of what I have just said and looked down.

He put his hand under my chin and forced me to look up at him "Hey" he whispered "it's nothing to be embarrassed about. I swear I would have felt the same way if I had known you earlier"

"Really?" I lightly raised my eyebrows.

He nodded, smiling, before clashing his mouth on mine. I moaned into the kiss as he thrust his tongue into my mouth. I was glad we were sitting down or I would have fallen to the floor.

He pulled away and I opened my eyes, a bit confused. Our lips were almost touching.

"Does this make you feel any other than loved?" he groaned and his eyes gave away so many feelings.

I closed my eyes in a long blink before opening them again, trying to realise what he had just said. I shook my head, not able to speak and brought my lips back to his.

We kissed softly and slowly at first but our kisses grew more and more urgent. I felt like I have never been kissed before. Was there anything he couldn't do?

Taron tightened his grip around my waist, pulling me even closer to him. I gasped as I felt his erection under me and my panties were soaked by the time we broke away for air.

We simply stared at each other and it was as if he was waiting for some kind of confirmation.

"There is one thing you should know before we continue" I breathed out, more embarrassed than ever. I actually just wanted to go hide in a corner.

"What is it?" he stared at me and it was as if he saw all my secrets, his heated gaze burning through me.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and opened them again "I have never-" I couldn't even look at him as I moved off his lap "I have never been with a man like that"

Taron gaped at me and blinked a few times "Wait, you have never had sex before?"

I nodded slowly, not able to form words "I totally understand if you don't want to continue this" My voice was breaking.

"Marie, look at me" he whispered as he took my face in his hands and I was forced to look into his eyes that were surprisingly tender and unaffected by what I had said.
