Chapter 33 Taste like paradise

Strangely enough Stevie had doubts what to wear. It sounded stupid to her cause she had met him so many times like this, but it felt different. Regan smiled at her, amused. 'You're nervous'. Stevie threw her an annoyed look for a sec, but couldn't help to put that grin on her face right after. 'Do you think it's too much?' 'Depends', Regan stared at the top and baggy trousers Stevie wore, 'what kinda impression do you want to give him?' She had to laugh a bit.

'I don't know. I feel stupid'. Stevie threw another top back on her bed. 'You know Steves, I don't think he will mind what you wear. He's crazy about you anyway, that's clear.' Stevie sighed. 'I know, but this is really like the first time we get together without ... well ... you know.' Regan understood it. 'You wanna give it a go, do you?' Stevie smirked widely, lying herself down on the bed. 'I guess I waited long enough'. 'That's one thing that's for sure.'

Regan thought for a moment, looking at Stevie's clothes. 'Take this blue/purple shirt, let your hair the way it is, bit behind the ears and just wear these trousers. They're easy to take off.' 'Regan!', Stevie gave her an amused look. 'Hey, it could come in handy.'

In the end Stevie decided to go for her favorite jeans. 'How do I look now?' 'Casual, cute, sexy and a natural beauty', Regan noticed contented. 'Okay, that must do the trick. Wish me luck', Stevie said, while grabbing her car keys and six-pack.

They sat outside and the tension was obvious hanging in the air. Constant glances and soft smiles were shared, while Stevie throw in her flirting tactics. Alex had to grin when she once again played with her hair. 'You're looking pretty tonight'. She looked away shyly, but smiled to herself that this all seem to work. 'Thank you'. 'It's beautiful to see the moonlight reflect in your eyes.' She had looked up again and his comment made him look deep into her eyes, which she blinked.

He was playing it romantic she figured and it took her by surprise. 'And that's not the only thing', he touched her face gently, still glaring in her eyes. Stevie could feel the weakness taking over, softly breathing out, and leaning into his hand, while his thumb caressed her face. Closing her eyes for a moment to feel his touch even more intense.

Alex could see the effect it had on her. She loved it; slowly opening her eyes to gaze back into his, which seemed to move closer. His fingers sliding down her cheek to her chin. Their stares started to focus on the other's lips, both knowing what would happen next. It would be the perfect moment.

They could feel their heart beating fast, but calmly at the same time, moving closer. Alex wetted his lips for a sec, before he came close enough to feel her breathing against his face, softly opening his mouth slightly to kiss her.

Their lips met, touching gently, but with the next move they were pressed tightly, opening their mouths to let their tongues slip through. It send a shiver down her spine and it fell even better than Stevie remembered from their first kiss. It was definitely a turn on, but it also had something delicate. Both of his hands were touching her face as Stevie's right hand slided to the back of his neck, caressing it, playing with his hair. Her other hand found a way to his body. It tasted like paradise, getting more intense and passionate with every move.

When their lips softly parted, not really willing to let go, their faces stayed close, trying to catch their breath, breathing heavy. They opened their eyes to meet each other. 'Wow', Stevie softly whispered. Alex slided his fingers down her face again, tenderly, like it was something precious. He swallowed from arousal, before smiling softly at her.

How could he ever been so blind, he questioned himself for the hundredth time? They let go of the other, knowing there was time enough. Sharing sweet glances again. 'Shall I get us some new beers?' Alex asked, getting a nod from Stevie in response. He stood up and Stevie's eyes followed his body. Wearing his dark blue jeans and white shirt he was surely the most attractive man around.

Black is the colour of my true loves hair
His lips are like some roses fair
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground whereon he stands

I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
I wish that day would soon come
When he and I can be as one
