Learning To Trust Again

Jake stopped next to the bed and brought his hands up and began unbuttoning her shirt. Watching his hands Rebecca started to shake.

He pushed the shirt off her shoulders and let it fall to the floor at her feet. His eyes moving over her, he whispered ‘I’ve missed you.’ He lowered his head and kissed her collar bone, before pushing the shoulder straps of her bra down her arms.

As he lifted his head, his gaze coming back to meet hers, she said ‘I’ve missed you too, so much.’

‘How much?’ he asked as his hands worked to undo her jeans before pushing them down her legs.

Stepping out of the garment Rebecca said ‘more than I ever thought possible.’

His hands reaching behind her to release her bra, he said ‘it hurt.’

Nodding as he dropped the garment on the floor at her feet and slid his fingers into her underwear, pushing them down her legs Rebecca nodded ‘more than hurt.’

‘Never again’ he said, steel lacing his words as his hands roamed slowly over her body.

‘Never’ Rebecca agreed and releasing her he began removing his own clothes while she moved to lie down in the middle of the bed.

Discarding his clothes without haste his eyes remained riveted on her face. Naked, Jake lay down on his side next to her, his head resting on a bent arm. Running a finger slowly over her, he watched as goose bumps popped out where ever he touched. ‘So beautiful’ he said.

She turned her head to look at him, her breathing shallow and accelerated. Rebecca lay still, relishing the feel of his teasing touch. But soon it wasn’t enough, she needed to touch him too and rolling on to her side, bringing the slow build up to an end, she found his mouth with hers in an aggressive kiss and brought her body into full contact with his from shoulder to toes.

The kiss was heated and fervent and Jake rolled her onto her back and positioned himself over her.

Loss and Longing

Grant slid his hand under her top as they kissed and she shivered as he moved his fingers over her skin. She mimicked the move on his body and felt an answering tremor pass through him. The slow exploration went on and on, clothes were stripped off and discarded as they touched and discovered. Then when they were both naked and needy Grant rolled them off the low couch to the floor which was covered in a thick pile rug. He positioned himself over her and leaning up on his elbows, he looked down at her for a moment.

Stevie gazed into his eyes and was fascinated by how changed they were. As she looked into them now, she saw they had a soft touchable quality like teal velvet and she could see the desire in their depths. She reached up and touched his face, tracing the line of his lips. 

Grant lowered his head and as he kissed her and moved above her Stevie felt the world slip away until the only thing she was aware of was the man in her arms. 

Later lying next to him Stevie was thoughtful as she played with his hand. They hadn’t moved from the rug in the living room and lying naked next to him, she was amazed that she didn’t feel self-conscious at all.

“Everything okay?” he asked. 

Turning her head to look at him she smiled. “Perfect” she said.

“Are you always so quiet?” he asked returning her smile.

 “Sorry I was just thinking” she said, looking away again. “This is so unlike me. I normally hesitate and over think everything. As I said I don’t jump into anything, so I’ve surprised myself.”

“Why is that, do you think?”

“I don’t know” she said a slight frown wrinkling her forehead. “But with you, I didn’t feel the need to hold back. I don’t know why.”

He reached out and smoothed out the skin on her forehead with a gentle touch. “I’m glad” he said. Then leaning down to give her a quick kiss, he added “I haven’t been with anyone for a long time, so this is a bit out of the ordinary for me too.”

Rolling over to face him, she said “can I ask you something?” After what they’d just shared and her fast developing feelings for him, she felt the need to understand even a small part of him.

“Sure” he said.

“Why me?” she said “I mean you’ve just said you haven’t been in a relationship for a while, you don’t have many friends, you don’t have any family. I get the feeling you spend a lot of time alone, so why did you let me in?”

Grant’s eyes dropped away from hers.

Learning To Trust Again

Neither Rebecca or Jake so much as blinked and she continued to lose herself in his green eyes as she reached behind her and unhooked her bra. With slow deliberate movements she let the straps slip down her arms before dropping it to the floor.

Still his eyes didn’t move, but his hands slid up her sides, his thumbs continuing to make tantalising circles on her skin.

Closing her eyes, finally breaking the connection, Rebecca’s head dropped back as a soft moan escaped her lips.

Jake watched her for a minute before his eyes slipped down to inspect what his hands had already discovered. She was beautiful. After a few moments he pulled her down on top of him and finding her mouth with his, he rolled her onto her back. Laying over her he reached behind his head and dragged his t-shirt off. Then lowering himself down again he shivered as his chest met her soft curves, skin to skin for the first time.

Another tremor passed through Rebecca’s body too and she gasped at the loss of contact when he rolled onto his side and moving his hands to her waist he removed the rest of her clothing. His movements were unhurried, as if he was delighting in the discovery of her body bit by bit, as more and more was revealed to him. It was nearly too much for Rebecca, she was on fire. She had never felt anything like this before. When she was naked he rolled to his feet and kicking off his shoes, dispensed with his jeans, underwear and socks.

Rebecca’s eyes were riveted on him as he undressed, he had an amazing body and she ached to touch him.

He came back to lie beside her, his head rested on a bent arm and without touching her, he let his eyes run over her for a minute. Rebecca turned her head and watched him as he looked at her. She remained perfectly still, breathing suspended while he completed his inspection

Bringing his heated gaze back to hers he smiled and slid his hand over her flat stomach, fitting his hand over her hip. Then leaning over her, he kissed her.

Sighing against his mouth Rebecca ran her hand up his muscular arm and wrapped her arms around his neck, as he moved to lie over her. Her grip forceful, compulsive, she held him as they were both lost to the world for a while.
