Chp. 5

"Oh my god!" Liz laughed. "Are you serious?"

"Very much so," he replied, holding the item up to fully show it to her.

"And you want me to wear that," she stated.

His eyes were full of lust, almost black in color. "Yes." He looked like he could barely conceal a moan.

Liz took the piece of cloth and the box and went into the bathroom without another word.

It was lingerie. He had bought her lace lingerie. Red lace lingerie, of course. The cloth would barely reach the top of her thighs and on the left side was a slit that reached up to the side of her stomach, only just covering her navel. Still inside the box was the matching slip, which looked more than tiny. She knew he knew exactly just how short and tight fitting the thing was. 'That dirty bastard'. She grinned to herself as she started undressing. Liz slipped on the red panties and started feeling a little insecure. These clothes would leave her more than a little exposed. She was getting more and more nervous, the longer she thought about it. He was expecting her to come out dressed in his gift and after everything he had gone through for her, she could humor him at least.

Without another thought she slipped on the top and checked her appearance one more time, before taking a deep breath and exiting the bathroom. Red was lying in the middle of the bed now, hands behind his head and slightly propped up against the headboard. His eyes flew to her and a lopsided grin spread across his face, making her heart pace quicken. He licked his lips and swallowed hard.

"Well, hello." His voice was low and deep, sending shivers through her. She would feel better when he wasn't openly ogling her, so she made her way to the bed, trying not to run, and climbed onto the mattress to straddle his lap.

"Have you been a good boy?"

Red's hands flew to her waist. "A very good boy," he moaned.

Liz leaned down and started placing kisses over his jaw and towards the corner of his lips. She didn't touch them as she instead moved to his chin and down to his neck, making him groan and grip her waist tightly. Liz softly bit into the tender skin under his lobe. One of his hands started travelling over the front of her body, only brushing over her breasts as it went up to the side of her neck, his fingers ghosting over her cheek as he pulled her in for a kiss.

"Lizzie?" He said against her mouth.

"Mhm?" She murmured and let her hands wander over his chest, loosening his tie.

He pulled back to look at her. For a while they were just staring at each other and Liz could feel herself quickly becoming nervous again. "Sweetheart, calm down. Your heart is about to jump out of your chest."

She released a shuddering breath. "I'm sorry."

He kissed the tip of her nose. "It's just us. You and I." 'Exactly,' Liz thought. "And I love you for who you are." He continued as if he'd heard her thoughts. "If you feel uncomfortable -"

"No," she interrupted. "I'm fine."

"Lizzie." He took her face in his hands and smiled gently at her. "I can see that you're not fine. I can feel your heart racing. Sweetheart -"

Her lips on his shut him up and he moaned into the kiss. "I love you," she said when she had pulled away.

"What can I do?"

Liz pulled the tie from his neck and threw it over her shoulder. "Can you be on top? I -" Before she had even finished, he had flipped them, so that her back was on the mattress, with him covering her body. She loved him so much for it.

"You're beautiful," he told her, running one hand over the red lace covering her skin. "So very beautiful."

Liz started unbuttoning his vest before starting on his dress shirt, revealing a patch of chest hair. She loved his body; he was such a handsome man, downright sexy. She tugged the shirt free from his pants and loosened another button, before stopping to run her fingers through his chest hair. He took off his vest and unbuttoned the rest of his shirt before tossing it away. Then he watched her curiously as she kept running her hands over him. Her eyes raked over his body until they locked with his.

"Make love to me, Ray."

Red almost choked at her words. She never ceased to surprise him. He leaned in and touched his lips to hers, his hand wandering under the red lace covering her upper body, making her quiver in anticipation...
