Knowing his intention for being there ( despite my friend's stupidity), I stuffed my hand down into one pocket and came up empty handed. The smirk on his face spoke volumes as my hand slipped into the other. There it was. The one thing to keep us protected from this….hell, I still hadn't figured out why I was going through with it. Everything my head told me, my body countered with a fuck you and marched on. I bit my lip as I produced the foil wrapper. "Do you always come this prepared?"

"You never know where the night's going to take you."

That made me giggle. "I couldn't agree more. We'll just set this over here until we need it." I licked my lips as I hooked my finger through a belt loop and set it on the bedside table nearest to us. I knew he had a great build but what was he seriously going to think of me once I was completely naked? Only one way to find out I reasoned. I let go and removed the only garment left on my body. I couldn't bring my eyes to his for fear that I would see disgust but when he lifted my gaze to his, it was the one I'd spent many a night fantasizing about.

"How many times am I going to have to tell you how incredibly beautiful you are?" His lips descended upon mine; my body crushed against his. My hands pressed firmly upon his perfectly sculptured chest. I swore I could feel his heart beating as fast as mine. His belt buckle firmly indented into my stomach as he held me in his arms and kissed me until I was sure there was no air left in either one of us. I knew he needed to be free of those jeans and when we came up for air, my hands slid ever so slowly down his torso to the restraint keeping him from me. As I loosened the buckle, his lips intermittently brushed against mine. I'd undone enough of these things to do it blindly but his lips on mine were the biggest distraction I'd ever faced. I managed to get it all undone before he had me wrapped in his arms yet again and making a full on assault of my mouth. God! I loved the way his tongue felt there but I needed to feel him between my legs doing things I'd only seen him doing to me in my dreams.

He eased me back onto the bed; his body fully covering mine. As we continued to make out like a couple of high school kids, my hands moved down his back and underneath the loosened material of his jeans. If I was gonna be naked then by God, it was time for him to join the party and become vulnerable to my eyes. My hands slid back up slightly as he pulled me over onto himself. I felt the smirk playing on his lips as our kiss continued through that tumble. He played me like the fine-tuned instrument that was his and his alone. Damned be any other man touch me ever again.

JAMES

We'd been playing this game with our eyes for far too long and now I had her right where I wanted her. Even if we never shared another night together, I was going to make damned sure she never forgot the night she spent with me. As her lips separated from mine, she looked down into my eyes with those big blue eyes and smiled. Her light blonde hair full of curls draped down around the frame of her face. I had to push it back just to find her expression again. "Promise me something James," she whispered

"Anything."

"Promise me this isn't a dream and that when I wake up, I'll know I had one amazing night with you."

"I'll be here in the morning Deb."

"I just need you here and now. Promise?"

I had to choose my words cautiously. She was on the verge of reconsidering her decision after all this. I could just feel it. "Promise," the words slipped through my lips as I softly brushed her lips with mine.

She kissed me long and slow before she found her way all over me; starting at my neck. She nibbled gently down my neck. The slightest brush of her hair against my skin was driving me crazy as she moved lower. As far as the jeans? Yeah, that was intentional. Her hands felt so good when they slipped underneath the first time. She was gradually getting closer and God did her lips feel good on me. I shifted and let her reveal everything about me to her eyes. She was not disappointed as her hands slid up my thighs and held my gaze as she did. God that's so hot when a woman looks you in the eye just before she wraps her pretty little lips around you. Oh God did she know how to use her mouth! She was driving me insane! It was all I could do to control myself. I didn't want to come without being a part of her. "OH God Deb Please!"

"Please what?" She continued stroking me.

"You know."

"I do. "She reached over and grabbed the condom from the bedside and rolled it over my cock. She knew how to turn me on and didn't even know what my buttons were. I watched as she lowered her body onto mine. Holy shit! I could feel my eyes rolling back in my head as I heard her moan with me.

"God you feel so good!" She let me know as she slid her hands down over my chest and looked into my eyes.

I moved my hands to her hips and let her claim my body . I was hers but I wanted to be the one showing her the pleasure; taking her for the ride. I held her and repositioned her beneath me. Her arms wrapped around me as did her legs when I took her. Deeper and deeper we went until she cried out my name; her fingernails digging into the flesh of my shoulders. We'd both been consumed by something bigger than either one of us cared to know at that very moment. We didn't care. I just lay there; wrapped up in her and all her softness.
