Girl on the Bench [Completed]

Nobody else but you

Dominic

I woke up and didn't know where I was.  The room was in darkness with small streaks of the moonlight stretching onto the floor and I was lying on my left side with something warm tucked in front of me. I blinked a couple of times and pulled the warmth closer to me. I was in Rosa's cottage, in my bedroom and this warmth must be coming from..I gently moved my left arm from under her head and rose up on my elbow.

Rosa was asleep, her lips slightly parted as breathed softly. Her hair pooled around her, over the pillow and tucked around her. I should wake her but I didn't want to. I relaxed back down onto the bed and pulled her closer to me and inhaled her. Vanilla and coffee beans surrounded me. Rosa shifted back into me and I felt myself harden, shit. I shifted my hips away from her and tried to drift back to sleep, to enjoy the moment of being with her.

I couldn't though. Now that I was awake, in every way possible, I just couldn't shut down. Images of the times I had spent with Rosa kept flashing up in my vision, the first time I met her, the kiss I couldn't help myself from giving her, her towel falling open as she reached for me...

I sucked in a breath sharply and tried to think of anything else but her. I tried to think of the painful sessions with Lee, the aching feel in my leg, the first time I'd fallen on my ass after trying to stand unsupervised but nothing worked. I let go of her waist and rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling. 

"Dominic?" Rosa said sleepily, rolling over and curling into my chest. She placed her head over my heart which was thudding painfully fast. I twirled her hair around my fingers as I softly stroked her head. 

"Yeah?" I whispered.

"Are you ok?"

Was I ok? No I really wasn't. The girl of my dreams was lying on me and all I could think about was peeling her vest up and kissing her collarbone and....

"Fuck!" I muttered.

Rosa was sitting up in a flash, leaning away from me and switching a switch on at the side of the bed. A small lamp flickered on. She turned back to me, her cheeks flushed from sleep. 

"What's wrong? Is it your leg?" She reached down to touch it and I flinched involuntarily.

"Don't!" I growled, using the covers to pull myself up against the headboard. 

Rosa jerked back and rested her hand back on my chest, "I'm sorry. I won't touch you there if you don't want me to."

"You want to?" I scoffed.

Rosa paused then nodded, " I do. It's a part of you. I want to be able to touch all of you, if you'll let me."

I raised an eyebrow up at her as the realisation of what she said dawned on her face. Her hands shot up to cover her mouth as she burst into laughter.

"God, I didn't mean that to sound the way it did!" She tumbled back onto the pillow, her body shaking with laughter. 

I began to laugh too and we both lay there, our bodies shaking the bed.I rubbed one hand across her back, "Rosa."

She lifted her head off the pillow and looked at me, I pulled her close to me and kissed her. Rosa eliminated any space left between us and kissed me again, her tongue tracing my lips. A need was building in my chest and I wanted to hold her close and explore her all over again with my hands, tongue, fingers then she pulled away, resting her forehead against mine. 

"I.. I think we should take this slow, Dominic. Even though I pretty much just propositioned you a   minute ago," Rosa smiled sweetly at me.

I nodded slowly, "Is it.. is it because of my.."

"No," she said, firmly. "It has absolutely nothing to do with your leg. I think we need to familiarise ourselves with each other again. We've gone through so much together but we haven't really done any of the normal things that you would do as a couple. I don't want there to be any crossed wires, any miscommunication between us and I want us to be able to talk about anything. I want this to be something but I only want to do it with you."

She placed her small hand on my cheek, "I only ever want to do anything with you, Dominic. Nobody else."

I kissed her again, I couldn't help myself.

"Nobody else but you, Rosa."
