Music, Dancing and Lingerie
*This chapter is inspired by the song Tonight I Celebrate My Love by Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack released in 1983 and I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner released in 1984.*
Amanda ran up the stairs trying to decide how she was going to get Lee up there with her. She had thought about walking down the steps, wearing the new lingerie she bought but knew if that happened, they'd never make it back up to the bedroom. Moving down the hall to her bedroom, she closed the door quietly, formulating a plan.
First, she she tuned her clock radio to the soft music station, 99.3 WPLZ Magic. Mood music, check.
Next, she adjusted the lights in the room to dim on her bedside lamp. Mood lighting, check.
Then, taking the box of condoms, she took one out, put it on the bedside table, the rest of the box in the top drawer. Protection, check.
She quickly changed into the light green baby doll set, slightly cursing when she realized it included a very tiny thong, not the panties she had originally thought. Turning to look at herself in the mirror to be sure she looked ok, she let out a sigh. Although she barely filled out the top, the rest fit her body to a T. It hugged the right places and flared down and away from her ribs and stomach, coming to rest at the top of her thighs, leaving just enough to the imagination.
The lace and chiffon material is not something she would have ever bought for Joe. The light green reminded her of Lee's eyes but only when he was looking at her. Normally his eyes were a darker hazel, almost brown when he was angry. But when they were alone together, she noticed they changed into this lighter green.
Taking another deep breath, she contemplated the best way to get his attention. Walking down the hall to the top of the stairs, she called his name, "Lee?" Not hearing him answer right away, she called him again, a little louder, "Lee!"
Down in the kitchen, Lee wasn't sure if he heard Amanda or not. He thought she was calling him so he put his mug down to walk toward the first landing. "Amanda? Did you call me?"
Hearing his footsteps coming up the first set of steps Amanda retreated a few steps back into the hall so he wouldn't see her right away. "Lee, can you… I can't reach something" She was thinking fast, trying to get him up the stairs without giving away her surprise.
"Amanda, what are you doing? What are you trying to get? Hang on…" Lee walked up the steps, feeling slightly hesitant. He had only been upstairs in the King household a handful of times in the 3 years he had known her. Most of their interactions were in the kitchen or family room.
"It's in my closet, I just can't…" Amanda purposefully let her voice trail off. Standing inside her room, away from the door where he wouldn't see her right away, she waited.
"Amanda, what are you…" Lee walked into her room and stopped short, his breath taken away by the scene before him. "Wow," he let out.
Amanda stood there, nervously looking at him. She watched him sweep his eyes over her, his eyes immediately turning green. Taking two steps toward him, she reached out her hand and asked, "Would you care to dance?"
Lee just smiled at her. "Would I care to dance? Yes, yes I would." He placed his hand in hers, gently wrapping the other around her tiny waist. From the radio they heard the introduction music and the lyrics began, almost on cue.
Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
It seems the natural thing to do.
Tonight no one's gonna find us
We'll leave the world behind us.
When I make love to you.
"Amanda, " Lee looked at her and smiled again. "This is definitely not what I thought would happen tonight, not after this morning. You look …. Wow, there are no words to describe how you look right now."
Amanda closed her eyes just a little, slightly embarrassed at his comment. No one, not even Joe, had said that to her before. Of course, she never did anything like this for Joe either.
Raising her chin up to look him in the eye, she saw that twinkle. Sliding her hands up his chest, she brought them around his neck and leaned up to kiss him. "We don't need words, do we?" she whispered against his lips.
Lee just shook his head slightly then with a small growl he descended upon her mouth, wanting to finish what they started on the couch downstairs a few minutes before. The kiss lasted for several minutes leaving them both breathless.
Amanda had already committed to herself that she wanted to take the lead tonight. So she began kissing his cheek, chin, moving down his neck to the open collar of his shirt. Slowly unbuttoning it, she kissed her way down his chest with each button. She stopped about halfway to pull it out of his pants before continuing, remembering how last night she almost knocked him over. Lee just stood there, his hands on her arms, head back, thinking he was the luckiest man alive at that exact moment.
Once she had finished unbuttoning his shirt, he made quick work of pulling it off for her, tossing it to the side. She was on her knees in front of him, unbuckling his belt, unbuttoning his pants. Sliding the zipper down very slowly, she looked up at him through shaded eyelashes. He was watching her, his face completely relaxed, eyes green, twinkling still.
Before pulling his pants over his hips she tapped his ankle to remove his shoes. Sitting back on her heels, she slid his pants down, and he stepped out of them for her. She tossed them aside, then proceeded to remove his socks for him as well. Joe always left his socks on and that bothered her every time. Moving back up to rub her hands up his stomach and chest, bringing them back up around his neck to kiss him again.
The song on the radio had changed as Amanda had taken her time undressing Lee. As they stood together, his arms back around her waist, hers around his neck they began to sway to the music again.
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life.
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me.
"Lee, I…" Amanda started.
"Shhhhhh" he said. Leaning down to kiss her again, he slid his hands down her back, across the bare skin of her butt. "I can't believe you are wearing this."
"Hopefully not for much longer…." Amanda joked.
"No, I want you to leave it on. We can, um, make it a challenge. Work around it," Lee said as he began kissing her neck and shoulder.
Amanda remembering she wanted to be in charge, gently pushed him back toward the bed. Stopping just before he sat down, she ran her hands down his chest again, this time to the waistband of his boxer shorts. He was beginning to look uncomfortable, his erection straining the material. I don't know if I'll get used to seeing that. Smiling, she reached her hand inside to wrap her fingers around him.
Lee took in a sharp breath. She had no idea the power she had over him right now. Or maybe she did. Either way, tonight was going much better than he thought it would just a few hours ago.
Kneeling back down again in front of him, Amanda proceeded to remove his boxer shorts as slowly as she could. She wanted to extend this foreplay as much as she could remembering last night and how incredible he made her feel. She caressed his legs, as gently as she could before moving to her target. With just one finger, she traced a lazy pattern down his stomach, around the base of his now throbbing member, up the tip and back down the shaft again.
Lee stood there, taking shallow breaths through his teeth, clenching his jaw. He was holding back dragging her up his body and tossing her on the bed. "My god, woman, what are you doing to me today?"
"Shhhh" now it was Amanda's turn to stop him. Taking him in her mouth again, she wrapped her hand around his shaft to hold him still while she spent the next few minutes licking and teasing him. Lee's hands were now buried in her hair, his breathing becoming more and more ragged.
"Amanda, I'm not going to last much longer if you keep that up," he could barely get the words out.
"Well, I want to be sure we keep something else up…." she teased, slowly letting go of him. Coming up to stand in front of him again, she wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him. She could see his desire written all over his face.
Before she could do anything else, Lee spun her around to land on the bed behind him. She let out a startled scream followed by laughter. "You find this funny?" he said, laughing with her. "Well, we'll see about that.." he said as he began to tickle her ribs.
Amanda immediately tried to scramble away from him. She was extremely ticklish and quickly realized she was outmatched with him. On the defense, she tried to tickle him back but his onslaught only incapacitated her. Seeing he had the upper hand, he changed his tactics. Tickles quickly became kisses on her neck, gentle nips on her skin. Instead of tickling he was now caressing her hip and bare butt cheek.
Amanda just sighed, fully enjoying his hands on her skin, his lips on her. Lee's lips found hers again and the battle over tongues quickly began. Lee was determined to take control over the rest of their evening so he began a slow, sensual path down her neck to her breasts. He held them through the thin material, seeing her nipple peak through. Capturing it in his mouth through the material, Amanda gasped, the sensation amazing. Not wanting to shy away from any sensation, Lee moved to her other breast and closed his mouth around that tightening nipple. Amanda arched into his arms. Her hands were constantly moving, touching him, rubbing his arms, his shoulders, his back.
Lee's hands moved further down her body to her now very wet, very hot center. Touching her through the thin barrier caused her to move her hips more than she intended. She was so ready for him. Lee had to make a quick decision what to do about what she was wearing. He loved how she looked in it and wanted to see her in it again so instead of his first instinct to rip the thong off her, he quickly slid it down her legs and tossed it off the bed. Reaching across her, he grabbed the condom she had left on the bedside table.
"Good thing you remembered because I wasn't prepared for…. This….." Lee said appreciatively. Tearing open the package, Lee quickly unrolled it on his hard throbbing member. Remembering the previous night, Lee found Amanda's hand and held it as he slipped inside her. Immediately she gripped his hand as she tilted her hips forward and wrapped her legs around him. This simple move caused a chain reaction neither one expected.
As Lee began to move, almost immediately Amanda felt the bundle of energy beginning to built. Within just a few minutes, she was pushed over the edge. Holding onto him tightly she could barely breath, enjoying the ride. Lee stilled for a moment, wanting his own pleasure to hold out just a little longer. He took that time to nibble, suckle and hold her, leaving his own marks on her pale skin just about her breast.
When her breathing returned to somewhat normal, he began to move again. Still holding one hand tightly, Amanda moved her other hand to his back. Tilting her hips just a bit, he moved faster, she responded with another gasp, raking her nails down his back. The fire, electricity began to build again, faster this time. Lee was moving faster, thrusting his hips harder than before. He was close but he knew she was even closer by the sounds she was making, and how she was again squeezing his hand.
"Lee…. I …. sooo …. Close….. Soooo clooooseeee…." was all he heard as she could barely control her own hips, tilting up to meet his stroke for quick stroke. Still holding her hand, Lee pushed up off his elbows for a different angle and from here it was just a few short strokes before she was pushed over the edge again. Lee fell, right behind her, one hot explosion after another.
Panting, sweating, holding each other tight, they stayed there, trying to catch their breath. "I love you Amanda King" Lee whispered in her ear between breaths.
"I love you, Lee Stetson" she whispered back.
After a few minutes, they began to regain control, Lee held onto the condom as they separated. Sliding it off, he took a quick look. "Nope, not this time," he said as he tossed it in the trash smiling.
