Dessert - Chapter 10

"More." She commanded as Brady picked up the plate and began feeding the sumptuous dessert.

His eyes looked straight into hers. He felt his body grow weak when he thought he could not longer restrain himself from taking her into his arms and kiss her madly. Her head swam with thoughts as she took the plate from his hands and set it on the coffee table adjacent the couch. She took the metal object from his other hand and threw it in the direction of the floor and held onto his hand. She looked beautiful, he thought. Even in a simple white T-shirt and checkered pants. Her hair was cascaded down her shoulders. It was soft between his fingers as he ran them down the length of it. He let his hand rest on her back as he searched her eyes. She looked back wondering how she had been so blind before. She was certain now how much he meant to her. She scanned the handsome man before her. He wore dark-blue jeans that were faded in front. His shirt was light blue with a black dragon on his pocket. She studied his eyes noticing now more than ever before how honest they were. Their colour itself had captivated her long ago. Now she sensed the honesty, the longing in his eyes. He was sure now that she was ready to start a relationship but still something held him back.

"Chloe, I...I want to explain something about the other night when I said it was a mistake."

Chloe's face fell. She was sure he was going to kiss her.

"Yeah" she quietly mumbled waiting for rejection once again.

"When....when I said that I didn't mean that it was a mistake for us to get involved but I just want to take things slow. We owe it to ourselves to make this work. And believe me I want this to work. We both have a lot of issues and I just don't want us to rush into things. Take things too fast and wind up regretting it because I care about you too much to risk hurting you." Brady finished awaiting a response.

Chloe looked up but she did not speak at first. She fixed her gaze on him.

She finally spoke "Brady Black I wish everyone could know you like I do, you amaze me"

"Thank you" he said as he pulled her into an embrace.

Still in the hug, she began to kiss the nape of his neck. Gently pecking his earlobes and jawbone. He pulled away looking at her before allowing his lips to gently caress hers. Her lips welcomed him. Their tongues danced to a rhythm they both knew. Brady's hand touched her waist while the other worked its way through her hair. Gently he let his hand trail up her neck and finally letting it rest on her cheek. She took his hand that cupped her face and kissed his palm and fingers. She allowed her own hands to wander. She rubbed his upper thigh causing an immediate reaction. He moved his lips back to her neck and parts of her exposed skin close to her bust. Pleasure surged through her body. She pulled her hands down his chest and unbuttoned his shirt. This time he allowed it. She moved her body so she was now laying on the couch. He hesitated before he allowed her to pull him on top of her throwing his shirt to the ground in the process. He held himself up so his full weight would not injure her. Realizing what he was doing, she carefully changed positions with him never abandoning their powerful kiss. She now stratalled him leaving her able to touch the hard planes of his chest. She bent down kissing the taunt skin over his muscular body. Brady was caught off guard and had to hold back what his body was feeling. He sat up taking her in his arms and holding her.

He softly whispered "I have to stop" then he kissed her earlobe.

She got off of him and sat beside him. Holding onto his arm and kissing his neck. She desperately wanted him but knew he was right. Brady sat there, unable to get up just yet due to his very now present erection. They were both panting hard but neither were disappointed. Finally Brady got up to get his shirt and the blanket that had fallen. Brady lay down on the couch and Chloe settled beside him. She lay her head on his chest. He put his arm around her and held her until they were both asleep.

Brady woke up around 2:00 a.m. surprised to find the Wesley's were still not home. He gently took Chloe in his arms and carried her upstairs to her room. She stirred a little but did not wake. After he tucked her in he kissed her forehead softly whispering.

"Goodnight, my diva angel."

He cleaned up the living room and then left locking the door behind him.
