I pushed him against the wall and pressed myself to him, his breathing became rapid, husky, God he's gullible. Pressing myself closer I stared directly into his eyes, those icy blue green pools always pulled me in but I didn't look away, I couldn't, this is what needs to done. I will be one step closer when this is over. One less step to worry about. Forcing my will, I slowly trailed my eyes down to his lips swiftly looking back up into his eyes then back to his lips, continuously repeating this back and forth play of the eyes, waiting for him to make the first move, but he was doing the same thing. I guess he got tired cause he suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer roughly and leaned in, I followed, winding my arms around his neck I leaned in too. I saw him close his eyes coming so close that I could feel his breath on my lips. Just about they were about to touch I swiftly pushed his chin up and landed a kiss on his Adam's apple. He stopped advancing and I took it as an encouragement, leaning in I trailed small, light kisses down to the base off his neck, sensually licking my way up I stopped at his chiseled jaw and bit down gently, he groaned loudly causing me to continue my assault. I kissed, licked, nibbled and sucked on his sweet spot at the base of the area behind the earlobe where the neck meets the shoulder blade. He tilted his neck to the side giving be better access, his fingers digging harshly into my waist as he held me there.
