Chapter 9

Cate

The house is dark. The lights that are usually on were never switched on after it got dark. The staff is off, Andrew won't be home till tomorrow afternoon. I am alone.

The tv is the only light illuminating the dark, sparsely furnished room. A cup of tea is in my hands and a blanket is covering my crossed legs. The images on the screen are passing by without much thought as I am lost in my own train of thought. Thoughts about Amanda.

When my tea is finished, I am set on my plan of action. Throwing the blanket off me, I head to the kitchen to add my empty mug to the dishwasher. I run upstairs towards the bedroom , turning lights on as I go. I rummage through my drawers and closet, desperately looking for clothes to help me try and accomplish what I want to accomplish tonight.

I turn off all the lights and grab my purse and keys. I am driving down the road impatiently a few minutes later. I feel the blood rushing through my veins as the nerves leave my body almost flush. My foot lowers on the accelerator more than it should, but it gets me to my destination faster.

Her bike isn't there. Disappointment starts to set it, but I don't let it take hold. It is still early in the evening, and it's not Thursday. All I need is patience, and everything will fall into place.

The nerves won't stop leaving a tingling sensation all over my body. From the tips of my fingers to between my thighs. I take a deep breath and adjust my long knit sweater. She'll be back soon.

It was about two hours later when she drove up. I think she recognized my car since she waved for me to follow her inside. I am taking off my shoes by her front door mere seconds later. She places her backpack and helmet on the kitchen table.

"So what's brought you here tonight?" Amanda takes off her jacket and walks to her room to hang it up. Her lights turn on and I see her shadow move throughout the room. I take a deep breath to try and settle my nerves.

"Amanda?" She walks into view and leans against the doorframe.

"What's up?" I slowly walk towards her. I look her up and down. Her t-shirt is hanging loosely over her shoulder and her hips. The loose, black, ripped jeans showing her pale skin. I want to trail my fingertips over her jawline, to kiss her neck.

"Amanda," I make eye contact with her. She nods, waiting for me to speak. I look down at the bottom hem of her shirt. I gingerly take it between my fingers and rub the stitch used to keep the hem from rolling.

"Can we do something different tonight?" I look back up to face Amanda, the eye contact letting me see how she's feeling.

"How different?" She looks down at my hands then back up to me. She bites her lip and glances down at my own.

"I want..." I run my free hand through my hair, "I want to look at each other..." Amanda places her hand on my cheek, her thumb caressing just below my eye.

"Lead the way," Amanda barely touched the corner of my mouth before backing away just enough to let me walk in the room.

I slowly walk towards the middle of her room, my hand still holding her shirt so she follows me. I place her in the middle of the floor. I walk to her bed and kneel in the center, so we are a few feet apart.

"Am I able to observe you?" I crossed my legs on the bed and hid my hands in my lap. Amanda smirks and nods.

"How so?" I look her up and down, assessing what I want to do next.

"Take off your shirt," Amanda looks up at me. Slowly taking hold of the neck of her shirt and pulling it over her head. She drops it onto the floor next to her. Her tan stops halfway up her shoulder. Telling me she wore muscle shirts quite often. Her sports bra holds her chest in just the right way. The contour of her small breasts accentuating her smaller figure.

"Now your pants," she slowly unbuttons and unzips her pants all the while never breaking eye contact with me. Her legs move the now crumpled pair of pants on top of her shirt. There are parts of her legs that are darker than others. Definitely from her wearing pants with holes in them and never shorts. At least from what I've seen.

"Your bra..." I feel the words slightly hitch in my throat. Not enough for them to not be heard. Amanda moves her arms and slides her sports bra over her head and adds them to the clothes pile. She has no shame, no fear in her eyes. Only curiosity.

"What have you observed?" I stand up and make my way slowly towards her. I stop about a foot in front of her. I look over her figure, using my right hand to lightly go over all I see. Her curves, her shadows. The feel of her breast to her chest is satisfying in my opinion.

"You're not scared to show your physical self," I cup one of her breasts in my hand. Her breathing stops for just a second, before starting again.

"You're beautiful..." I lean down and kiss her forehead. I drop my hand so I'm not touching her anymore. I take hold of my own shirt and pull it over my head, revealing the top half of my most provocative red lingerie set. Her eyes are set on my chest for longer than acceptable, but considering the circumstances, I don't mind.

"Amanda," my tone is more commanding than intended. She looked up at me, her arousal visible in her eyes.

"Fuck me," she doesn't need another invitation. She kisses me softer than I thought she would. Her hands take hold of my belt and pull myself closer to her. I feel her push us towards the bed, making a quick detour to the lights, but I stop her.

"No, I want to see you..." she kisses me again and takes me straight to the bed. My back gently hits the covers with the help of her hands. She begins to take off my pants, the anticipation between us greatly building. Her kisses trail and her hands remove anything in its way.

I don't know why I was nervous earlier. I knew she wouldn't mind. It definitely is turning into a night to remember.
