In The Deep End.
Covering her mouth with one hand, I used the other to close the door bracing her up against it. Smirking, I stare into her eyes I can see all the fury directed towards me. She is easily the most beautiful female I have ever seen. Her face bare of any make-up, her lash extensions in full, her perfect eyebrows, her very juicy plumped lips. God, you really did take your time on her. Her wiggling her body trying to break free from my hold, is what broke me out of my trance. "Stop ma". And as expected, she tried even harder. Using all of my body weight to keep her braced on the door, I leaned my head forward so my lips were literally grazing her ear then whispered, "Chenel, I'm not going to tell you to stop again". Resting my head in the crook of her neck, I removed my hand from her mouth when I felt her trying to bite me. Inhaling her sweet and comforting scent, I closed my eyes. Vanilla. >>>>>>>>>> Read to find out where this story takes them both!!
