May 24, 1996

The mood in my living room turns quickly from tentative to sweet to hot. I hated you being mad at me last night, but if this is what making up is like…

"Let's ditch," you murmur against my lips, pushing your hips against mine.

"Bellaaaa," I moan. "I can't."

"You can, though."

"Can't."

Your hand wanders down the front of my jeans, and you nip at my bottom lip. "Can."

Now I'm the one who's conflicted. I have calculus this morning, but it's not like we'll be learning anything new with finals next week. And I do have an A anyway…

That makes the answer pretty easy.

Without another thought, I take your hand and lead you back up to my bedroom. I shut the door and lock it, just in case, and you push me back until I'm up against it. Your hands roam, pulling my t-shirt up and over my head, trailing down my chest and stomach, unbuttoning my jeans. I toe off my shoes. You tug at my pants and boxers, following them down until you're on your knees. Then you're licking and sucking, and my dick looks so good in your mouth. I watch you pull slowly off, swirl your tongue around the tip, and take me back in again. You've become a goddamned pro at this.

"Need this off," I say, reaching down to yank at your dress. I love that you wear dresses so often. It makes things more…accessible. You take it off quickly, so eager to get back to your work. If it were possible for me to get any harder right now, I would be.

My head thumps back against the door, and my hands go into your hair. Not pulling or pushing, not guiding, just feeling. Feeling the suction of your mouth, the brushes of your tongue, the spiraling buildup in my stomach, the tightening in my balls… But it's the first opportunity we've had since last weekend to be together like this, and I want you. Gently, I nudge your head back. You look up at me with your eyebrows raised and your red, wet lips still parted.

"Come on." I help you to your feet and lead you over to the bed, stripping the rest of your clothes off and urging you down to my bed. It's unmade and still warm, and all I can think is that when I lie down to go to sleep later tonight, it'll have your scent all over it. Reaching into my nightstand drawer, I pull out a strip of condoms and tear one off.

"Can I do it?" you ask.

"Uh. Do you…do you know how?"

You roll your eyes. "I think I can manage."

"It's just kind of—" Before I can get the words out, you're pinching the tip and rolling the condom over my dick. It's kinda hot, feeling and watching you do that to me. When it's in place, you pull me down and tilt your hips up, wrapping your legs around me. I slide inside, not stopping until I'm all the way in. As much as I've thought about our first time (our first two times, really), as much as I've tried to remember just how good you felt, I fell way short of the mark. It's soft and wet and hot, and we're a perfect fit.

We start slow, but that doesn't last long. I'm not concerned about being gentle this time, and neither are you. You push up against me and tell me how you want it. I get to my knees and grab your hips so I can try a new angle. You gasp, and I'm not sure at first if it's a good sound or a bad one, but then…

"That feels so good," you whisper.

So I move a little faster, thrust a little harder, always listening, always taking your cues. I'm getting close, but I want you to come first. My fingers find your clit. You start to move faster, and by now I know that means you're close. Just when I think I can't hold out much longer, you cry out and tighten around me, pulsing and squeezing, and I finally let go with a groan.

With my hands on the mattress on either side of your head, I lean down and crash my lips to yours. You shiver and smile against my mouth.

"Think it'll keep getting better every time?" you ask. "I mean…last weekend was amazing, but this time…holy eff."

"Since when do you say eff?" I ask, kissing you once more. "And Jesus, I hope so."


A/N: Sorry again for the wait! Life's been a bit busy this week. I've got a deadline to meet on a manuscript I'm editing and another one waiting for me after that. So the actual paying jobs are priority. ;) The next couple of days will be busy, too. We're going out of town for another hurling tournament, so there probably won't be another update until Sunday afternoon or evening. After that, the update schedule should be back to the same. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for reading!
