Chapter 4 - Kitchen Encounters
Fuzzy indigo blue eyes opened, looking around the dark room, she saw the outline of someone and wasn't sure who it was. All signs pointed to someone male. Linda slowly slid from the bed as she looked at the time on her cell phone it said 3:30 am. She quietly made her way over to the male form that was leaning against the wall, the closer she got the more she noticed his head was slouched forward and the soft snores were coming from him. Linda wouldn't help but stifle a giggle; she walked over and grabbed a pillow from the bed, then carefully grabbed the back of his neck and moved him down to the pillow and then covered him up with a spare blanket.
Linda carefully stepped over him as she quietly walked down stairs and got a glass of water. She sat at the kitchen table trying to get rid of the cotton mouth that the pain pills gave her. A husky sleep ridden voice broke through her water intake, "What are you doing up?" Linda's eyes shot up from the table where she'd been staring at the glass to the guys who was sleeping in her room. She smiled softly, "Needed some water, the pain pills gave me dry mouth." The guy nodded as he walked over and sat in a chair at the kitchen table. Linda sipped her water, "By the way you never did tell me who you are." Paul smiled softly his voice still laced with sleep, "Sorry…My name is Paul. I should've introduced myself to you properly, but tend to go caveman first and calm later. I'm sorry about the whole caveman treatment at school. I shouldn't have done that. It was extremely ungentlemanly of me."
Linda smirked as her hand reached over and touched his, noticing how warm his skin was, she loved the feeling, "It's okay Paul. Clearly you were just concerned. And thank you for being concerned. I fully understand where you were coming from." Paul frowned, "Just the same I do apologize for the way I behaved." Linda and Paul stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity; Linda blinked as she stood from the chair and placed her empty glass in the sink. As she started to walk past Paul and go back upstairs to bed she stopped. She looked at where Paul was still sitting at the table.
Linda walked back over to him, she leaned over and brushed a soft kiss on his cheek, "Thank you for being so concerned." Suddenly they locked eyes again as her hand came up and touched Paul's cheek, "How's come every time I look at you I feel like I've known you my whole life. Like my life isn't complete without you in it?" Paul smiled softly, "I don't know…But I definitely feel the same way." Paul grabbed the back of Linda's neck gently and pulled her lips down to his. Linda felt a spark surge through her body as she couldn't help but relax into the kiss, Paul's hands slid down her body until they got to her hips and pulled her onto his lap.
Paul's lips were warm to the touch and his tongue slowly slid across her bottom lip as if he was asking for permission for his tongue to go further. She let her mouth open slightly for him and as his tongue slipped between her beautiful red lips he groaned as he tasted her for the first time. Suddenly that one second of feeling her tongue caress his made everything in his life feel like it was finally normal. Like this was where he was supposed to be with Linda for all eternity.
Linda's fingers weaved through Paul's soft black hair. His blazing hot hands practically burned through the cotton material of her t-shirt. His lips left hers and started to trail down her neck and throat. Linda couldn't believe the things Paul was making her feel. She'd only known him for maybe twelve hours. Why was she letting him kiss her? She couldn't explain it, it felt right. And it damn sure felt good.
Paul's arms wound around Linda's waist and seemed to pull her closer to his body if it was even possible. Her finger tips slowly made their way up the front of his t-shirt as she touched his stomach and abs muscles lightly. Paul let out a hiss when she did that, his abs muscles instantly flexing beneath her soft touch, slowly running circles on the small of her back as he continued kissing her. If this is what she wanted, Paul was not going to complain, though he couldn't help reaching beneath the material of her shirt to touch her bare skin, groaning in her mouth. He slowly pulled away, both of them raggedly breathing, and Paul's heart felt as if it might explode with how fast it was pounding. He could hear the beating of her heart and noticed their heartbeats were matching. Damn wolf senses. He could clearly feel how he was effecting her physically.
Paul pulled back, "We definitely need to stop this. I'm not trying to take advantage of you; Even though I am fully enjoying kissing your lips." Linda looked at Paul and could tell he was every bit of a gentleman. As they caught their breath Linda nodded, "Fully understood." Paul softly kissed her lips again, "I know we haven't known each other long, but I want to take you out on a proper date." Linda nodded, "Something is telling me if I don't say yes, it would be detrimental to both of us. So yes, I would like that." Paul smiled, "So how about Friday night? I'll come get you at 7?" Linda nodded, "Sounds good to me…In the mean time, I'm going back to sleep. Are you going to go back to your spot on the floor?"
Paul chuckled as he let her slide from his lap and stood up behind her following her back to the bedroom. While Linda laid across the bed, she watched as Paul moved the pillow and blanket over to the spot on the floor next to Linda's bed. Paul leaned over and brushed his lips on Linda's cheek as he sat on the floor, "Thanks for the pillow and blanket." Paul laid down on his back with the blanket up to his waist, he watched as Linda leaned over the side of the bed and they laid staring into each other's eyes as they talked for an hour or so with nothing but the moonlight to see each other, Linda yawned and closed her eyes for just a minute.
Paul smiled softly when he looked up and noticed Linda had fallen asleep, he carefully moved her around so her head was on the pillow and covered her up as he took his place back on the floor and fell into a peaceful sleep. He couldn't wait to take her out on their date.
