He lay down. She laid on op of him with her head in his chest. He staggered
under the impact of her body as she threw herself at him, wrapping her arms
around his neck. The soft, wet skin of her cheek pressed against his face
as she clung to him.
"What are we doing?" he asked.
She whispered, "I don't know."
Craig lay there, holding her close, his emotions storming through him. Yes,
he admitted, lust numbered among them. But a great tenderness vied with the
familiar physical ache. Slow, take it slow, Craig, or you're going to scare
her off.
Gently, he disengaged her arms and put her away from him. Something flared
in Koby's eyes. Was it disappointment or relief? He turned to go, then
stopped at the touch of her hand on his arm.
"You don't have to leave unless you want to," she said.
He clenched his teeth, forcing himself to not read more into what she said.
Her eyes changed. This time he couldn't mistake the fury sparking from her
eyes. Craig groaned and closed his eyes as Koby pulled his coat closer.
Craig pushed away his doubts for the moment and opened his arms to her.
Koby moved into his embrace, returning his kiss as passionately as he had
ever wanted.
"Say the word if you want me to stop," he said
"Just hold me," she murmured against his lips as she pressed him closer.
His hands caressed her back and neck, feeling her cool, smooth skin against
his fingers. "So soft," he whispered relished the feel of her in his arms.
"Oh, Craig," She ran her fingers through his hair.
"Mmm, magic hands." His eyes closed as he leaned into her hands, trying to
ignore her body pressed close against his.
Just then they were interrupted when Ashley walked in. What a time for
anyone to walk in much less Ashley.
"Oh," she grinned.
"Um, Ashley," Craig gulped.
She walked out. Craig went to the mirror and wiped off his mouth. He
looked back at Koby sitting on the bed.
"Maybe we shouldn't do this," she said.
