The Little Things

Chapter 17

After the rest of the silent auction was announced, we went to the limo to go wherever the rest of the night took us. We sat next to each other listening to some light romantic music; he held me in his arms. We didn't speak but kept content with just being together.

Eventually I had to ask so I did, "Where are we going?"

"Oh, just for a drive. I've got this limo all night so we might as well make good use of it. I've got a surprise for you," he stated with a smile as he looked into my eyes.

"Another one? This night has been full of surprises."

"Yup, I've got dessert," he said as he reached over to the mini-fridge and pulled out a plate of chocolate dipped strawberries. He turned to face me pulling the plastic wrap off the top.

"I love chocolate covered strawberries!"

"I figured you might like them. I dipped them myself," he said with a smile and a glint in his eyes.

"Proud are we? I knew you could cook. Melting chocolate and all must have been exhausting," I said with a chuckle.

"Hey, it was hard work! I had to make them perfect for you," he said as he leaned down a placed a gentle kiss on my lips.

"Thank you, Greg!"

He then reached down with his left hand, grabbing one of the strawberries by the hull and let it come within inches of my lips. I leaned forward to take a bite but he slowly pulled it towards him drawing me closer into his arms. He wrapped his right arm around my waist; our knees and part of our outer thighs were flush together as we sat side by side with our torso's facing each other. At that point I place my left hand on his head and ran my fingers through his hair just above his right ear. He relented, with the strawberry having reached mere inches from his face, letting me take the first bite of the extremely juicy fruit.

As I pulled back having bit off a little less than half of the strawberry in his hand; a drop of juice from the strawberry lingered on my lips slowly rolling down towards my chin. I groaned at the wonderful taste in my mouth; it truly was a marvelous creation. Greg moaned in response leaning forward and placing his mouth where the strawberry juice was dripping from my bottom lip. He kissed the juice away as I swallowed what I had in my mouth. He followed the trail of the juice to where is started and slowly, gently kissed me. I parted my lips to further the kiss. He place his hand on the back of my neck as our kiss became more urgent; our desire more prevalent encompassing our whole being.

He started to place his knees under himself as he started to lay be back on the seat. We ended up both on our sides on the seat kissing. It felt like eternity but that's all we did; held each other, ran our hands through each other's hair. It was one of the most passionate kisses I had ever experienced.

At some point during our kissing escapade, I started to feel wet droplets caressing my nose and cheek. I opened my eyes to see that while Greg was kissing me, he was slowly relinquishing teardrop upon teardrop. I started slowing our kiss and after I reached a point in which I felt comfortable, I pulled back from our kiss rubbing my nose to his.

"Are you alright?" I said with concern laced throughout my voice. He then leaned forward and placed a loving kiss on my forehead and looked into my eyes. Within those eyes, I did not see any sadness, regret or anger. All I saw was love and happiness.

"Of course I'm alright! I'm the luckiest man alive. For once in my life, I'm truly, truly happy and I don't know when the last time I even felt like this, if ever, was. I never want to lose this. You're everything I need, everything I want, everything to me. Thank you!" Tears where now trickling from my eyes.

"What for?" as I reached up to wipe his tears away.

"For loving me!"
