The Trip - Chapter 14

"Yes" the boy repeated, sighing deeply.

Rafe wanted to be with Alison, so bad it hurt…it physically hurt. There were so many things that he wanted to do. There were many things he wasn't sure if he could do. All of them he wanted to do with the girl below him. Watching her slowly unbutton her blouse, Rafe watched with fascination. It had been so long. In fact, he had never been this close with anyone his entire life…or after life. He longed for it, but it also scared him a little too. Always being the best at whatever he tried, whether it was vampire slaying or being a guardian angel, he knew he wouldn't be the best at this. He had never been with anyone before. He wasn't even sure how to proceed.

Alison sensed Rafe's hesitations and understood. She had never been positive if Rafe was a virgin or not. To be honest, she had thought about it. The thought crossed her mind, briefly, but at that moment it was clear. Not being that experienced herself, being with only one other guy, it gave her some comfort. It was sweet and it was perfect.

Alison gently pulled Rafe's t-shirt over his head and discarded it on the floor. Continuing to remove her top, she noticed Rafe's growing anxiousness. It was more than he had expected. What was occurring, it was more than anything he had hoped.

Rafe began placing small kisses across her chest and continued down her stomach. He wanted to taste her entire body. He wasn't even sure if it was appropriate. He really couldn't help himself. A small sound escaping from her mouth reassured him. She was enjoying it. Laying under the moonlight, open to him, Alison was absolutely beautiful. Moving back up to meet with her mouth, Alison was waiting and kissed him deeply. At that instant he was lost, completely absorbed by her. He didn't want to be anywhere else. His body continued to shake with nervous anticipation and he wasn't sure, but it felt like she was shaking a little as well. Alison moved her hands down to Rafe's belt buckle again. Rafe exhaled deeply as she undid it, breaking it from its normal bind.

"I love you, Alison." He whispered sincerely. "I've loved you since the first time I saw you. I love you so much. No matter what I said…I've always loved you."

"Rafe, I…I love you too. I was afraid to admit it for the longest time…but I love you." Alison's eyes were beginning to fill with tears. Saying the words aloud and hearing them made her heart swell. It was lovely.

"I've never…done…this before." He admitted nervously, shaking his head, his voice cracking slightly. He peered at her desperately to lead him…wherever she wanted him to go. She did.

Alison smiled warmly at the boy. They both began leading each other, discarding their clothing and getting to know how they felt against the other. Rafe didn't need as much instruction as he thought. Their movements were smooth and complimentary. Though they had never been this close before, with each other or with anyone else, the two knew each other perfectly and it was obvious. Alison had no idea that the way she was feeling, both physically and emotionally, was even possible. Rafe sank into the girl, overwhelming them beyond their wildest hopes.
