Need a Favor
Chapter 5
"I Need You to Need Me"
Eric drives back to Calleigh's silently. He is entirely to overridden with emotion to speak. A gut wrenching time at his best friend's grave and then Calleigh letting him hold her and her saying she needs him……he's just not sure where to go from here.
They pull into Calleigh's driveway and she looks over at him. "Want to come in and let me cook you dinner?" Eric smiles, "I thought you'd let us go to that emotional point and then just send me home." Calleigh slides out of the car. "I just told you I needed you Eric. Let's go inside."
They walk into the apartment and both of them kick off their shoes. Eric tells Calleigh he needs to use her bathroom and she tells him she is going to change clothes. Eric comes out of the bathroom and sees that Calleigh's door is open. He feels his pulse quicken and tries to ignore the swelling in his pants. He knows he should just go back downstairs. He can't seem to turn his head though. He steps into the doorway and sees Calleigh in her pajama bottoms and her black lace bra. She's staring right at him. Smiling she doesn't even try to cover herself up. "Are you lost, Delko?" Eric smiles and prays she won't look at his crotch. "No, I think I have just stepped into Heaven. God, you're beautiful." Calleigh takes in a breath. "I swore I wasn't ever going to let us get into this situation, Eric." Eric steps closer to her. "So did I. I have thought about it so many times though." Calleigh nods and looks away. "Yeah, me too. We are both pretty transparent. I can see it in your eyes and I know you can see it in mine." She looks back at Eric. "You know I want you, Eric." Eric closes the gap and takes her in his arms. "It's more than desire though, Cal. What you said today. That tore my heart out. It's more than just making love with you. I need you to need me." She steps up and kisses his cheek. "I do need you, Eric." He touches his lips to her mouth and parts her lips slowly. He kisses her tenderly and lets his hand slide up and down her back. Calleigh feels like she just might melt in his arms. He pulls back and she says, "Are we skipping dinner?" He pushes her back against the wall and kisses her neck, "To hell with dinner." She reaches down and slides her hand in his pants. Eric shudders, "God, Calleigh." They both peel out of clothes in lightning speed. He leads her over to the bed and lays her down. He stands over her and just takes in her beauty. Calleigh's face turns red and she says, "Eric, stop staring. You are making me blush like a schoolgirl." He doesn't move. "Calleigh, you are the most beautiful piece of creation I have ever seen." She smiles up at him, "You are pretty damned gorgeous yourself, Eric." He eases down beside her. "I love looking at you, Cal." She giggles and runs her hands through his hair. "I don't have a "Don't Touch" sign on me. Please touch while you look." Eric slides his hand between her legs and smothers her with a kiss. He moves over her as she trembles and whimpers. He makes every move slowly and deliberately. He wants to savor every moment of this because he knows it may not ever happen again. He makes love to Calleigh and draws it out as long as he can. They find ecstasy together and then lay very still holding each other tightly.
After awhile, Eric looks down at Calleigh. "Baby, I know this complicates things and there's a lot to figure out. I just need you to promise me that you will always need me. I need you and I need you to need me."
Calleigh puts her hand on his heart. "I'll always need you and you will always have the key to my heart. No matter what tomorrow brings." Eric kisses her slowly. "Can we worry about tomorrow later?" Calleigh smiles and leans in to let him take her again.
Probably The End……….Possibly not……….we'll see! Please keep reviewing!
