She could feel her cheeks growing warm as his blue eyes dropped to her lips. She knew exactly what he had on mind and that scared her, because she knew that she was probably thinking about the same thing. He dropped his gym bag back onto the floor without making a sound that either of them heard.
The beating of her heart pounded in her ears and the heat of his gaze seared her. He firmly pressed her lower back with his hand, bringing her closer to him. He pressed his hard length against her knowing the effect it would have on her. Her gaze lowered to his lips. "What are we doing?" She asked and noticed that her voice was shaky.
"We're about to take a shower, Liv." His lips were just a breath away from hers. She searched his blue eyes, filled with lust and admiration. Oh, what the hell. She wrapped both of her hands around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss.
She thought she would have control of the situation. She went into the kiss confident that she did but she couldn't have been more wrong. Need washed over them taking over the minute their mouths touched. He caressed the insides of her mouth with his tongue and they both moaned their pleasure. She ran her hands down his muscled arms, across his contoured abs and back up to his solid chest.
God help me. His body is rock solid.
She rolled her head back as he began kissing her neck. He worked his tongue in lazy circles over her pulse and she curled her hands into his hair marveling at the softness of his curls.
Fitz slid his hands down her body cupping her ass. Lifting her up, he wrapped her legs around his waist. He growled as he took a few steps trapping her body between the door and his body.
"Damn, you taste so good," he moaned grinding between her legs. Liv nibbled at Fitz's ear as he continued to grind against her causing a surprise orgasm that came hard and fast leaving her totally breathless.
She rested her head in the book of Fitz's neck as her breathing returned to normal. Minutes passed and neither one moved an inch as their bodies settled back down.
Slowly, Liv released the right hold she had on his curls and lowered her arms to wrap them around his waist. He still held her above the ground but when she patted his chest he loosened his hold on her legs.
He moved his hands to rest on top of her ass. He leaned his torso back slightly keeping them joined at the hips. Pressing a kiss to her forehead he took a deep breath and pulled back to look her in the eyes. He ran a thumb over her well kissed lips and barely suppressed a moan as she sank her delicate teeth into his thumb leaving tiny indentations.
Her doe eyes widened when she saw his eyes glaze over as she gently bit his thumb. His blue eyes had darkened a bit and they now looked like a mix between blue and gray. "Fitz." His name escaped on a breathless note.
He had closed his eyes upon hearing her call it, savoring the sound of his name. She sounded well sated and his chest swelled with pride knowing that he had helped get her to that state.
"Yes, Livvie?" He cocked his head to the right as returned her gaze.
"We need to shower." Her voice sounded steady and she gave herself a mental thumbs up at managing that feat.
"Yes, I was looking forward to that." He gave her a wide grin as his dimples flashed. He looked at her with a hooded gaze as he pictured them in the shower continuing to get dirty so they could give each other a proper cleaning afterwards. He dipped his body slighted and scooped her up into his arms.
"So where's the bathroom?" A small shriek escaped her and she snaked her arms around his neck.
"Fitz! There are two bathrooms. We'll be taking separate showers." Her words came out in a rush. He chuckled.
"Ah, I had a feeling you might say something like that. But before we go out separate ways...I have to know if you taste this sweet every where." He leaned his head down and they explored each other's mouths with a lazy pace that was becoming familiar to them both.
As he prepared to set her back down he brought his right hand down between her legs and groaned as he slipped a finger inside of her bathing suit. He found that she was still warm and wet and when she bit his bottom lip in anticipation he slid that finger inside of her. He growled at the warm suction of her sheath gripping him and their kiss became frenzied.
Wanting to respect her wishes he pulled his finger out as their kiss finished and gently set her back down. Keeping his eyes on hers he brought his finger up to his mouth and licked it clean, moaning at the sweet and spicy taste of her. "Sweet baby." The words were slow and drawn out.
Liv pressed a small kiss to his chest and listened to the beating of his heart for a minute before she picked up his gym bag. He opened his eyes when she lifted her head from his chest and took the bag from her hands and wrapped his free arm around her shoulders. She walked him to the spare bathroom and gently pushed him into it. He reached for her and laughed as she playfully ducked away and left him to shower.
She closed her bathroom door and walked over to her sink, looking into the mirror. She did not do things like this. This was not how she acted. The thoughts sounded hollow even in her mind and she knew the argument was weak. She might not have done things like this before but this was different. This was her and Fitz. They were different. They had something that was unique and should be treasured instead of being carelessly tossed aside. This thing between them could not be reasoned out with logic, it was something more.
He closed the bathroom door and leaned back against it. He knew that they had not known each other for a great length of time but he also knew that what they had between them was rare. It was worth pursuing. She was going to be his just as much as he would be hers. He heard her moving around in the bathroom across the hall and moved towards the shower and shook his head not looking forward to the cold shower he was about to take.
Hours later they were on her couch while a movie that neither was really watching played on her television. They had ordered Chinese from one of Liv's favorite restaurants and gotten an assortment so they could pick off of each other's plates. Fitz was laying back on her couch and Liv was sprawled out on top of him.
Occasionally they would pick at the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table in front of them but they were more caught up in each other than anything else. Fitz rubbed his hands absently up and down Liv's and she took in his spicy, woodsy smell. He had a bit of stubble coming through and she found it enhanced his good looks.
"Do you like playing board games? Card games?" Liv wondered as she ran a hand over his arm.
"Hmmm, I don't mind board games. I enjoy Scrabble, Monopoly, backgammon and dominos if those count. As far as cards go, I'm a big UNO player. I can play most card games although I'd take spades over poker." His baritone rumbled through his chest and reverberated through her. She gave a slight shiver at his voice.
"Sound great. The same goes for me." She didn't quite manage to stifle her yawn and he followed with one of his own. She propped her chin on his chest to look at him.
"I'm getting tired. I don't want to kick you out but I don't want to keep you locked in my place either, Fitz." He smiled in response.
"It's alright, Livvie. I understand. I do have an early day tomorrow so I should get ready to head out." He kissed her forehead softly as Liv moved to sit up. Before she got up from the couch he pulled her back down so that she could lean into his shoulder.
"One minute, Liv. Just give me one minute." She turned into him and wrapped an arm around his waist. She curled her legs underneath her and he moved to rest one hand on her stomach and the other settled on her ass. They laid in silence and when a minute had passed he pressed a kiss to the top of her hair and they both got up. He slid into his jacket and the shoes that he had set by the door. Liv walked with him and ran her hands over his jacket and grabbed his collar pulling him down for a kiss. He ran his hands over her shoulders and pulled her hips into his.
When they needed to breathe she stepped back and he grabbed his gym bag as she unlocked her door. "Be safe, Fitz."
"I'll call you once I get home, okay, Livvie?" He smiled and cupped her face as she nodded. He pressed one last small kiss to her lips and walked out of her apartment. She waited until the elevator doors closed on Fitz and shut her door setting all the locks.
