You ever heard of art imitating life and vice versa? I wrote El to get a sudden cold and a day later, I get a sudden cold. My head hurts, my left sinuses are blocked (except at night when the blockage wanders to the right as weird as that sounds) and I have trouble concentrating. So, I hope you'll forgive me if there are too many errors and that you...

Enjoy this one too:)

As far as first kisses went, El had imagined hers to be something big. She had imagined herself and her possible boyfriend to be going on a date, maybe getting some food, watch a movie and then the evening ending with a sweet kiss that slowly deepened but ended after maybe a minute as a start with a promise for more.

The reality was so far different, if anyone had told her that, she would have called them crazy. After she had basically thrown herself at him, his response had taken about three seconds, his surprise at their lip contact palpable but before she thought about pulling back and apologizing, his arms had crushed her against him, his mouth devouring hers and his tongue begging for entrance. She had granted it of course, her tongue meeting his in a sensual dance that often turned heated before calming down again but never ending.

That had been six hours ago. And so far, they hadn't stopped kissing. The only thing that had happened was Mike pulling her into his lap and then standing up, lifting her with him and holding her up with his hands on her ass, something that she had to admit felt very nice. He had walked into his room, since she hadn't put new sheets on her bed yet after he had taken her old ones off, and sat down on his bed, pushing her legs apart to disentangle her from his hips.

Then he had laid them both down, their bodies on their sides and one of his hands caressing her butt cheek as they kept kissing. Whenever he had wanted to pull back for whatever reason, she hadn't let him, simply moving her head forward to keep the kiss going. If she then tried to pull back, he pushed forward and the kiss continued on as did the movement of his hand on her ass.

And for six hours, his hand never left her ass. It never moved up or down and he never tried to touch her center with a finger, simply always caressing her cheek and making her heart beat fast for so long, she was afraid she might get a heart attack. She would have expected his caressing to be the precursor to him turning her on her back and then trying to take her clothes off so he could have sex with her.

But that didn't happen. El had no idea why. Didn't he want to? The sporadic erections he had told otherwise. It went from poking her in the thigh to retreating to back to poking, depending on how she moved against him. It had also happened whenever she had moaned. But he never tried anything more.

"Mike?" she finally managed to separate their lips for long enough to say his name.

"What?" he breathed hard.

"Don't you want to have sex with me?" she asked shyly.

"Of course I want to have sex with you." he chuckled. "It takes all my willpower not to ravish you right now."

"Why don't you?" she wanted to know.

"Because I love you and I don't want to hurt you and I also don't want you to think that it's only about the sex for me." he said and suddenly saw her starting to cry. "What's wrong?"

"I love you too." she sniffed and wrapped her body around his. "In retrospect, I loved from the moment you said 'Hey there, I'm Mike'."

"Really?" he asked surprised. "Wow."

"You look a bit sad now, why?" she asked concerned.

"Because I fell for you the moment you slurped down your first forkful of spaghetti the day I moved in." he told her. "Imagine how much earlier we could have been doing this."

"Well, we're doing nothing but kissing so far, I thought you didn't want me." she said.

"I want you very badly, but I always felt that doing it on the first day or night you get together may send the wrong signal." he shrugged with one shoulder, since the other was still squeezed between the bed and his body.

"Okay, lets recap." she grinned, turning them and ending up on top of him. "We have been in love for a while and now admitted it to each other."

"True." he chuckled, his hands running over her thighs.

"Then please believe me when I say that I won't receive the wrong signal." she smiled and bent down to kiss him again. "Mike, make love to me."

"As you wish." he breathed and turned them again, his mouth trailing kisses down her body.

With excruciating slowness, his lips touched every inch of her skin from her throat to her stomach. To her surprise, he never pulled her shirt from her breasts, simply keeping going down until his lips had reached her slip, stopping at the fabric. He began running his tongue along the area and pushed out his chin, the hard bone hitting her clit under her slip and then he slowly moved it left an right, putting some pressure on it.

"Jesus, do that again!" she gasped.

"As you wish." he chuckled and did what she demanded, moving his chin left and right again and again.

This was an a lot different kind of pressure than she had when she touched herself. It was more forceful and more outside her control and she began wriggling beneath him, his hands moving to her waist to keep her in place. It took him only two minutes to make her climax from that, El shaking and gasping as she came. Mike grinned at her and lifted his upper body, his fingers going under the waistline of her underwear.

"Go ahead." she nodded when she noticed him hesitating, lifting her hips to allow him to pull her slip off but she felt a sudden bout of self-consciousness at baring herself fully at him, keeping her knees clenched together but he simply put his hands on them and slowly pulled them apart.

"Beautiful." he breathed and he looked at her down there, El blushing at the compliment.

When he began to settle down on the bed with his head between her legs, her heart rate went up even further, excitement coming over her body at the thought of him pleasuring her. His mouth touched her knee, then her thigh, her inner thigh and it moved closer and closer as he fully settled down and El forced herself to look. He gave her a wink and his mouth descended on her and then she only felt pleasure.

"SHIT!" she cursed, her hips pushing up to get more friction. "Keep doing that."

He didn't reply, letting his tongue answer for him as it flicked over her nub. She hissed, her feet wrapping around his neck and pulling him closer to her to avoid him moving away, not that Mike had any inkling to do so. To him, she tasted better than he had ever imagined and while he had fantasized about her vagina ever since she had pushed his hand on it, nothing could have prepared him for the real thing.

El kept wriggling under him, shouting out her pleasure into the room and when he suddenly stopped what he was doing, she opened her eyes to look at him. He wasn't looking back, and as she watched, he put his hands next to his head and used his fingers to pull her folds apart before pushing his tongue into her and running it along the insides.

El shrieked in pleasure and she felt the next climax approach. When it hit, her legs clenched hard, keeping his head against her and Mike felt her come, never stopping the movement of his tongue. To El, it felt as if his tongue was moving the same way that Bella's did whenever she drank water, Mike lapping up her arousal as if he was dying of thirst. His ministrations prolonged her climax and it took her almost a minute before she was calming down again, Mike finally stopping and grinning at her.

"Mike!" she gasped, looking directly into his eyes. "Cock, inside me!"

With a chuckle, Mike sat up and discarded his boxers, presenting his erection in all its full glory. El's eyes went wide when she saw it, remembering the first day he had lived her when she had seen it in the bathroom, all flaccid but already big. Compared to that, he was freaking huge now, at least to her eyes and she became apprehensive at having this go inside her.

"Are you really sure?" he asked, surprised, kneeling in front of her with his hands on her knees.

"Yes." she nodded.

"It will probably hurt quite a bit." he warned her.

"Given how huge you are, I have no doubt." she said and got an idea. "Get on your back."

"What are you planning?" he wanted to know as he laid down flat, watching El get up and swing her leg over him.

"I'm going to lose my virginity to you by being on top." she grinned, proud of her own idea. "Then you don't have to worry that you're going too fast."

Amazed at her forwardness, he watched in awe as she lifted up her hips and lined herself up to him, grabbing his manhood between them to guide it to her center. His tip touched her and to him, it felt as if it was on fire and when she began lowering herself, Mike groaned, the feeling of her tightness overwhelming.

El was similarly overwhelmed. She wanted nothing more than slam down to get it over with but she knew that this would be intensely painful, so she kept going until his tip was just over an inch inside her, where she felt the resistance of her hymen. Taking a deep breath, she pushed, feeling the pain that came from her virginity being lost and waiting until it had subsided as much as possible. She went lower still, pausing after every inch to get used to him until she felt herself being full.

"See?" she panted. "Not much pain and you're in."

"Uh... El?" he moaned, and when she opened her eyes, he pointed between them, causing El to look.

"You have got to be kidding me!" she gasped when she saw that only about two thirds of his manhood were inside her. "I'm full!"

"I think that's just your imagination." he suggested, his hands moving along her waist.

She slowly moved her hips up and down, getting used to his girth and trying to gauge the pain level. He was almost impossibly huge, at least in her mind, and she wondered how it looked down there when he entered her. It took her almost ten minutes, her thighs already burning from the strain of holding herself up and not moving quickly and she tried to sit down on him to get him fully into her.

"Mike?" she panted, his arms still around her.

"Yeah?" he looked into her eyes.

"Can you turn us around?" she asked. "I want you to push the rest of the way, slowly please."

"Okay." he nodded and attempted to do just that.

"Wait." she stopped him and pulled her undershirt from her body, completely naked for the first time.

"Perfect." Mike wanted to weep when he saw her breasts, his hands moving to them.

"Now." she smiled and laid back down, allowing him to wrap his arms around her and turn them both around so she ended up under him.

Mike spread her legs further and lined himself up, pushing slowly in until he was two thirds in. At a nod from El, he began pushing further, as slow as he could and he watched her expression with great care to see if he had to stop. When her eyes closed into an expression he knew from when a dentist drilled close to the root of a tooth, he immediately stopped, allowing her to get used to his girth.

"Keep going." she gasped, still in complete disbelief that he was that big and even more, that he was able to fit in there.

"Now I'm completely inside you." he groaned after another two minutes, when he had fully buried himself inside her.

"Jesus Christ!" El gasped. "Your dick must be under my heart now."

"What?" he couldn't help but chuckle. "It's not that long."

"Mike, please move." she begged.

Mike slowly began thrusting, pulling out almost fully before going back in. El moaned loudly, feeling him move inside her, her inner walls squeezing his manhood. Mike, for his part, was desperately trying not to come yet, which was hard since she was so tight that he could barely move. He listened to her breathing and tried to watch her expression and after another three long minutes, he finally saw her face go from slightly pained to experiencing pleasure.

He sped up a fraction, his lips descending on hers and El began meeting his movements until they moved with a beautiful harmony. Mike felt her clench up, trying to figure out if she was climaxing or in pain but a sudden scream, along with her shaking told him everything he needed and he began chasing his own climax, achieving it after thirty seconds of being almost painfully squeezed.

"Jesus." he panted, trying not to collapse on her petite body.

"Jesus, indeed." she breathed hard as well. "If tonight was an indication of what sex with you is like, you and I will have a lot of fun together."

"I surely hope so." he chuckled and gave her a loving kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too." she smiled warmly at him. "Now please get up, I need to clean myself up."

He groaned when he watched her leave, El not even bothering to put on clothes and shaking her behind in a very suggestive manner, winking at him before she left the room. She hurried into the bathroom and used the toilet before stepping into the shower to clean herself. As she stood under the spray, Mike joined her, his arms enveloping her in a loving embrace.

"You are truly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." he said sincerely.

"Really?" she asked a bit self-conscious. "My breasts aren't that big."

"That's what adds to your beauty." he smiled, gently running his fingers over her mounds. "They fit your body perfectly and I wouldn't want to see them changed in any way."

"Good." she grinned and wrapped her arms around him. "Wash my back."

"Of course, dear." he laughed and grabbed the loofah, wetting it down and running it along her back.

"What time is it anyway?" she asked him once they were done and drying themselves.

"I think it's somewhere close to two in the morning." he shrugged.

"Ugh, don't you dare wake me tomorrow." she groaned. "Let me sleep."

"No problem." he chuckled and both exited the bathroom to go into their respective rooms.

Mike stepped into his room and put on his sleeping shorts before sitting down on his bed. He had no idea how to proceed now. Should he go into her bedroom to sleep in the same bed with her? Was that too presumptuous? The last thing he wanted was to appear clingy but before he could psych himself out even more, El stepped into his room, wearing her tight snoopy pajama bottoms and one of his shirts.

"What?" she asked when she was his smile while climbing into his bed.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about coming into your room but I didn't know if you had wanted me to." he chuckled, laying down on his side to make room for her.

"My love, I don't want to spend a single night away from you again." she smiled warmly at him and dropped a kiss on his lips before snuggling her back against his chest. "So, unless one of us really has to sleep somewhere else, we're going to sleep either in your room or in mine."

"Well, your bed is bigger than mine." he shrugged.

"But your room is cooler than mine at night during the summer, so we can save on using the AC as long as the girls aren't back yet." she told him, closing her eyes.

"Speaking of which, are we going to tell them?" he asked. "Or do you want to keep this between us a while longer?"

"I would have no problem doing the latter but even though they're in relationships, I don't fully trust Jennifer and Stacy." she giggled. "So, when they get back, we can tell them, just so they know that you're wearing my brand now."

"If I wake up with a tattoo of your face looking sternly at others on my body, I'm suing you." he laughed.

"Good night, Mike." she laughed with him. "Love you."

"Love you too." he gave her kiss on the neck. "Night, El."


El woke up and felt a distinctive lack of Mike behind her. She let her hand move behind her body, trying to figure out if he had just rolled away from her but the bed seemed to be empty of him. She reluctantly opened her eyes, seeing the morning sun shine into the northeast window and a quick look at the clock showed it to be just shy of six-fifteen.

With a groan, she turned on her back, pulling the duvet over her head and smelling Mike's scent, feeling arousal pooling in her abdomen. When she pulled the covers back down, she saw his night shorts hanging over the chair, which meant that he had gotten up already. Her bladder screaming at her, she shambled into the bathroom, using the toilet and washing her face before returning to his room.

As she came through the door, she saw Mike in the backyard without a shirt, his body moving in beautiful movements as if he was doing a very slow form of martial arts. She knew enough to guess that it was Tai Chi, that Asian form of meditation and she marveled at his form as he moved. Before she knew it, she had watched him for half an hour and at the end of his routine, he gave a bow to a curious Bella, who barked at him before he petted her.

"Good morning." she grinned through the open window, involuntarily licking her lips at his glistening body.

"Hey." he smiled back, giving her a kiss. "Did I wake you somehow?"

"Indirectly." she nodded. "You weren't there and my body was missing you."

"Aw, that makes me feel so loved." he chuckled.

"That's because you are." she winked at him. "If you think I'll allow you away again, think twice."

"Uh, I like this possessive side of you." he gave her another kiss. "Hey listen, after my shower I have to talk to you. Or we could talk after I walked Bella."

"About?"

"I have an appointment at one in San Francisco today." he told her.

"Is it something bad?"

"No, but it's about how I make my money." he hesitated.

"Mike." she put his hands on his face, pulling him in for another kiss. "I already know."

"You do?" he gasped, pulling back surprised. "How?"

"Remember when we flipped a coin for walking Bella in that rainstorm?"

"Yeah." he nodded.

"When I came back, you were in one of your trances and when I walked past you, I saw what you were writing." she revealed.

"I see." he whispered. "Does that change the way you think about me?"

"If anything, it made me fall in love with you even more than I already was." she smiled. "You may not know it but The Torn Heart is my favorite book."

"Really?"

"Yes, but the way it was written, I always thought that the author was a woman." she chuckled. "You have some amazing insights into a woman's psyche."

"Thanks." he smiled relieved.

"Come on in, you take a shower and I'll make some coffee, then we can walk Bella together."

"Okay." he agreed and walked around the house, going into the bathroom to shower while El prepared some coffee.

They poured it into two travel mugs and took it with them, Mike buying two bagels on their way to eat. So long as they had a free hand each, they interlaced them, walking hand in hand down the streets, El proudly showing everyone around them the he belonged to her and her alone. An hour later, they were on their way back to the house, where Mike could refill the food dispenser so the dog could have breakfast as well.

"Hey, you wanna come with me to San Francisco?" he suggested. "We could make it a day, have some lunch when we get there and I can do my appointment at one and..."

"We could so some shopping!" she hopped in excitement.

"Sure, we could do that." he nodded with a pained expression though El knew that it was because of a guy's general hatred of shopping. "But not too long though, we should get back at six so we can walk Bella."

"True." she nodded.

"El!" a male voice got their attention.

"Dad!" El greeted her dad, hugging him. "Another inspection tour?"

"No, breakfast." Jim chuckled and pointed to their joined hands. "So, I guess you finally got your heads out of your asses."

"Dad, language!" El admonished him. "But yes."

"Congrats." Jim hugged her again and shook Mike's hand. "Remember, if you hurt her, I'll make you disappear."

"Noted." Mike chuckled. "But that's the last thing I want to do."

"Dad, don't scare him, I want to keep this one." El grinned.

"I can see that." Jim nodded in understanding.

"Hey dad, can you do us a favor?" El asked. "Could you walk Bella this evening?"

"Sure, why?"

"Me and Mike are going to San Fran, he has an appointment there and he promised to take me shopping." El smiled.

"Son, have you any idea what you're getting yourself into?" Jim gasped.

"It can't be that bad." Mike laughed. "But even if it is, she's worth it."

"You two have it bad." Jim shook his head. "Sure, I'll walk her."

"Thanks, dad." El hugged him again. "Her food is in the second cabinet from the right. Just open a can and dunk it into her bowl and refill her water bowls."

"Will do that." Jim nodded. "Sorry, I gotta go now, those donuts won't buy themselves."

"See you, dad." El waved at him. "See, he likes you."

"Does he have a point with the shopping?" he asked concerned.

"I'm not that bad." she pouted. "But you may wanna make some space in your car."

"Jesus." Mike palmed his face.

They returned to the house and at ten-thirty, they got into his car and began the drive to San Francisco. Traffic was bad, so it took them over an hour to get there and after Mike parked his car on the parking lot of his publisher, he and El looked for a cozy place for lunch, finding a small restaurant where they enjoyed a cold lunch, El choosing a chicken salad while Mike took tuna. He paid for both of them and they walked back to the publisher building, El choosing to wait until he came back out.

"Look, there they are." Simon pointed to the couple. "The bitch and her boyfriend. Who apparently lives with her and those other three chicks."

"And what now?" Andrew asked. "You wanna beat him up?"

"I'd like to." Simon nodded. "Then get me some of that fine ass of hers."

"You may wanna call some of our buddies at Stanford to find out if anyone knows something about him." Andrew counseled.

"Why?" Simon wondered. "You think I can't take him?"

"Do you wanna attack him only to find out that he can kick your ass?" Andrew chuckled.

"Point taken." Simon accepted as they watched them walk into a building. "I'll call Robert tomorrow. By the way, did you know that they have a huge dog?"

"Since when?"

"No idea, when I went to her house to see if I could score with her, the guy came in with that monster." Simon shuddered. "As long as that thing is even close to her, I wouldn't dare touch her. If that thing is gone, I can do her."

"I don't like where your talk is going." Andrew looked at him. "Remember, her dad is the Chief of Police."

"Right." Simon realized. "Well, she can't withstand my charm forever."

"She's painfully capable of resisting mine." Andrew winced, bending his fingers only to hear them crack.

"Smacking a girls ass outside of sex is no way to make them like you." Simon laughed. "Don't worry, my charm will be much more subtle and when I'm done with her, that guy can hit the road."

Laughing, the two went their way.

Mike and El were completely unaware of that of course, given that he was in a meeting with his publisher and El was sitting in the lounge, surfing the internet on her phone and trying to find information about when Mike's new book will be released. Amazon had already listed it with a TBD notification for the release date. It took almost two hours but Mike finally returned to her, his face lit up in a smile and a middle aged blond next to him.

"Lisa, this is my girlfriend El." Mike introduced her. "El, this is my publisher Lisa."

"I thought her name was Diane." El wondered.

"Listening to my phone calls, are we?" Mike chuckled.

"Diane is my assistant." Lisa told her. "Alright Mike, I'll call you as soon as the printing is done."

"Thanks, Lisa." Mike shook her hand and took El's before leaving the building.

"So?" El asked curious.

"I negotiated a better contract for me." Mike smiled. "She liked the book so much that she agreed to it right away."

"Oh, what's this new contract about?"

"Well, usually an author only gets a dollar and twenty-five cents per twenty dollar book sale. I wanted more." he shrugged.

"How much more?" she wanted to know.

"Double that."

"But it's still only one-eighth of the entire sales price." she pointed out.

"Yes, but unless you're a well known author with dozens of books out like James Patterson or Stephen King, you rarely get more than that." he retorted.

"Then how did you do it?"

"I told her that if they didn't pay me more, I'd simply sell them myself." he shrugged. "Ebooks cost essentially nothing to produce and I can have them printed in certain numbers and reprinted if those sell out. In return for more money, I signed for a third book to make it a trilogy."

"A third one?" she almost hopped in excitement. "You can do that?"

"Yeah, I left the ending for the second one ambiguous enough." he nodded.

"When is the release date?" she desperately wanted to know.

"In a month, I think." he told her. "They're going to start a small advertising campaign during the printing process."

"You have at least four sales already." she giggled.

"Whoohoo, ten bucks in my pocket." he did a little happy dance.

"Hey, don't mock the desire for women to read about your main character and her life." El pouted.

They entered a shopping center and El's eyes glazed over at the offers. She dragged him into the nearest clothing store and perused the offers, looking at underwear and holding some of it against her, looking at his reaction and apart from one pair, he only drooled at imagining her in all of them. As she walked to the dress section, her eyes fell on a truly beautiful dress.

"Oh my god!" she gasped. "Mike, look at this one."

"Try it on." he shrugged.

"Mike, it's way too expensive." she sighed.

"Honey, try it on." he winked and took the dress off its hanger, pushing it into her hands.

Giddily, she ran into an empty changing booth, discarding her clothes and her bra before trying on the dress. It fit her like a glove, not a single area too tight or too wide. It snuggled against her breasts, making them appear bigger without actually being a like a wonderbra and her ass looked in it as if it could crack a coconut.

"So?" his voice from outside startled her out of her reverie.

"What do you think?" she asked, stepping out.

"Oh my lord!" he gasped and took a step back when this angel came out of the booth, even other customers staring at her. "This dress is made for you."

"Mike, I can't afford it." she sniffed, agreeing with him though.

"I'll pay." he offered.

"I can't accept that." she gasped.

"Honey, I've got quite a bit of money, remember?" he whispered. "You can see it as your early birthday gift."

"I love you!" she cried and her lips crashed against his. "Let me change out of this."

She quickly put her normal clothes back on and watched in awe as Mike used his debit card to pay the enormous amount of money for the dress. She took the bag almost reluctantly, fearing that even holding it wrong would ruin the dress inside. She also purchased some sexy underwear, winking at him as she paid, this time herself before she dragged him to a shoe store.

As the time passed, Mike finally understood what Jim had meant. The hours dragged by, El visiting almost every store and soon enough, Mike stumbled through the mall with a dozen shopping bags in his hands, getting sympathetic looks from several guys who were sitting on benches in the middle of the mall court.

"Jesus." Mike sighed when he finally sat down.

"I see your wife goes a little crazy." an older man laughed.

"We're not married." Mike shook his head. "Yet."

"Mine was almost as bad when we were your age."

"Her dad warned me about this, I didn't want to believe him." Mike chuckled and looked at El getting two hot dogs and something to drink. "But she's so worth it."

"That's the spirit." the man held out his hand. "I'm Jacob."

"Mike." he greeted him. "Is your wife here too?"

"My wife died two years ago." Jacob sighed.

"I'm so sorry to hear that." Mike was deeply sorry for the man.

"It's okay." Jacob nodded. "Even though I miss her terribly, I treasure the years we had together."

"There you go." El smiled at him as she handed him the hot dog an the drink.

"Thank you, my love." Mike smiled back and kissed her before El sat down on his leg.

"Ouch!" she winced and quickly got up again.

"What's wrong?" he asked concerned.

"Um... I'm a little... sore, down there." she whispered into his ear after sitting down next to him.

"My fault." he chuckled.

"Oh yes, mister, it so is." she agreed. "But so worth it."

After eating the hot dogs in comfortable silence, Mike grabbed the shopping bags and carried them out to the car before they began the drive back to their home. And while he drove, El looked at his profile and giddily looked forward to further explore this new level of their relationship.


Ah well, they're an item now ^^

Review please :)
