Under The Mistletoe

Part 9

Dinner Date

We took our bags out to the car and decided where we were going to acquire our dinner. We ended up at one of my favorite sushi restaurants. I suggested spring roll for her and got the craziest look. "Okay, fine. Chicken or steak?"

"Steak." I was absolutely giddy as I thought over our shopping trip. I honestly wished there was someone I could tell about it. I reached for his hand across the table. "I love you and I am so excited," I whispered quietly.

I answered without hesitation and took her hand. "I had a lot of fun. We got a lot of stuff. Our tree is going to be so pretty. I can't wait to get it and put it up. So the ribbon needs to match the tree skirt right?"

"Me too. Probably for the best. I was thinking of a blue velvet ribbon with silver trim or silver snowflakes. Can I post pictures when it's done?"

"I won't be, so I don't see why not. Maybe just not with the A ball showing."

"Deal." I was practically bouncing again. The waiter came and took our order, which Avi gave easily.

We ate in happy silence once our food arrived. "Do you want me to take a picture of you in front of the tree? What if it turns out looking horrible, ah the tree, and we hate it? Oh, we need to find a gift for my parents. They'll have one for either or both of us or each of us. What do you want for Christmas? Don't say me."

"Whoa. Slow down, Kaplan. I would love for you to take a picture of me in front of the tree. It will be beautiful. A gift for Hanukkah or Christmas? But what if that's what I want?"

"Okay, okay." I took a deep breath. "Hanukkah, for my parents. Something small," I smiled, "you already have me. Want to unwrap me tonight? But seriously, what else do you want for Christmas."

"I would absolutely love to unwrap you tonight, or you could unwrap me." I smiled and bit my lip. "I haven't really thought about what I want for Christmas. I have everything I need and I am happy. I am sure you will think of something I like. As for a gift for your parents, I have the perfect thing. What do you want for Christmas?"

"What are you thinking we can give them? Should we do it separately, though that seems silly," I leaned in, whispered for no real reason, I just wanted to get closer to her so I could smell her perfume, "we're a couple." I sat up straight and smiled.

I giggled at him. "I have a beautiful blanket that I crocheted. Your mom especially will love that." He smelled so good. I was really ready to get him home.

"You are right about that." I fidgeted and played with her fingers while we waited for the check. I didn't say much more. I was seriously worried over what to get her, but her gentle touch had me very distracted.

I loved when he played with my fingers. "I'll just fold it nice, tie it with some ribbon and wrap it up. Ta da." I smiled at him. "About ready to head home?"

"Yeah." I was lost in a daydream and barely responded.

The waiter brought our check. I managed to grab it before Avi could and I stuck my tongue out at his super frown. I put my card with it and handed it to our server. He didn't let me pay often, so I took advantage of his absent-minded state. I signed the bill, tipped well, and took my card back when the waiter returned. We thanked him and he left us to our own devices. I reached for Avi's hand and led him to the exit.

"That was sneaky." I laughed on our way out to the car. "You're a sneaky girl."

"You can punish me later." I winked at him once we got to the car.

"Ha! You'd like that." I laughed so hard I almost hurt myself, then shut the car door once she was in and drove us home.

I couldn't wait to get to his place. It was a quiet drive. I was antsy, and I think he was too. We had a lot of stuff to carry in, but I didn't mind.

We got to the apartment and hauled in our treasures, setting the Christmas stuff in the living room. "Do we wash this stuff first?" I held up the bed stuff.

"The towels yes, but the sheets are fine, they are sealed. Did you want to make the bed tonight?"

"Can we unmake it?"

"Yep." I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips to his. "Can I unwrap my present now?"

I dropped what I was carrying to the floor and pulled her closer to me. "Of course," I whispered against her lips.

I tangled my hands in his hair and kissed him until I couldn't breathe. I trailed my hands down his chest and to the buttons of his shirt. I made quick work of them and slid the shirt off of his shoulders. I held his eyes the entire time. I shivered with need.

I smiled slowly and let my eyes wander with hers. "Who did you want to do the unwrapping?" I let my shirt hit the floor. "Shall I?" I trailed a finger gently from her cheek down her neck and to her shoulder. "Or would you like to?"

I bit my lip and blinked. The words came out as a whisper. "I'll let you do it." I was back in his arms with my lips attached to his as the words left my mouth.

"Mmmm, Okay," I whispered against her lips and pulled her body against mine as I slipped my fingers under her shirt. Her skin felt so good under my hands. I was ready to come unglued and thrumming. I kissed her until I was beyond breathless then nibbled down her neck and bit at her shoulder, as I pulled her shirt up her back.

I moaned as his fingers found my skin and his mouth traveled my neck. "God I need you." The words tumbled out of my mouth as he started to move my shirt. My hands were back in his hair and tugging lightly.

I moaned into her touch. It felt so good. Her words drove me to the brink. I removed her shirt and dropped it to the floor as I rushed through the kisses I was giving her and nipped at her lips. I forgot how to breathe or that it was important to keep doing so. I grabbed at her pants as urgency took over. I had them unbuttoned and around her ankles in record time, then allowed mine to follow. I stepped out of the pool around my feet my jeans had become and guided her to the bed. She fell backward when her knees hit the edge of it in a controlled and elegant fall. I joined her on the bed laying my hungry body over her. Our underwear were still in the way, but that did not stop my hips from grinding my hard body against hers.

I gave him his name as my pants hit the floor. I was breathless as my knees hit the edge of the bed. My hips met his as he ground them into me. I didn't mean to take control but I rolled him to his back and straddled his hips. I kissed him hard and ran my hands down his chest.

It was an easy transition giving her the reigns. I relaxed into her touch as she flipped us over and growled my desire at her. My greedy hands reached for the band of her panties and started pulling them down over her hips.

I raised up on my knees as he pulled my panties over my hips. I growled because I was not in a position for them to come off. I crawled off of him and took them off. I grabbed the band of his underwear and pulled them gently off of him and threw them to the floor. I straddled his hips again and met his eyes. I trapped his shaft between my hand and my slit as I used my wetness to get him ready to slide into me. In that process, I rocked my hips against him and moaned at the friction created.

I smiled and nodded while biting at my lip. I was more than ready for whatever it was she was planning. I was also in a bit of a rush and felt confident and strong. I waited with bated breath. I knew my eyes would eventually close and the excitement and rush would eventually take over me, but I also knew I would be fine holding on until she let go.
