Chapter 16 - EPOV
I wrap my arms around her and she buries her face in my shoulder, I let myself give in to the feel of her. I tighten my hold on her and kiss her forehead, unable to help myself, as I breathe in the sweet, subtle scent of her hair.
I have wanted this for so long, wanted her for so long. It seems almost like a dream that she is finally here with me.
We slowly pull away from one another, and I look down at her with the same soft expression on my face.
I see the same look reflected back at me, I recognize the feelings as she stares up at me with wide vulnerable eyes, want, longing, desire... love. Everything I have felt for her for so long.
She leans forward, our lips colliding again in a gentle, passionate kiss. I lift my hand to cup her face, my thumb stroking over her cheek as we part again, our eyes meet and we both smile.
An unspoken agreement passes between us as our lips meet again... and again, desperate to maintain contact, throwing us further and further into ecstasy.
I lean my forehead against hers, my breath heavy, and my heart thundering in my chest.
I keep my eyes locked on hers, searching for any signs of hesitation, discomfort or protest. I slip my hands into her hair, freeing the silky strands from her hair clip.
I kiss her once more as her hands link around my neck, tangling in the hair at the nape.
I skim my tongue over the seam of her lips, begging for entrance, and she opens willingly.
I kiss her hungrily, eagerly freeing myself from the confines of my tuxedo jacket, letting it fall to the floor as I bury my hands in her hair, tilting her head back, deepening the kiss.
As we break apart, panting for breath, I slowly back her toward the bed. The look in my eyes full of lust, love, and unmistakable in my intentions.
I marvel at the feelings this girl has always been able to invoke inside of me, sitting her down on the edge of the bed.
I kiss her with soft reassurance as I slowly unzip the back of her dress.
