Chapter 54
"You've never seen a micro wave before?" Catherine asked incredulously.
"Never," he replied, still looking at the thing as if trying to figure it out. "William would give his right arm to have such a thing!"
Catherine giggled and said, "But he would have problems getting it to run on candle power. Vincent, a micro wave is electric powered."
"I can see that," he sighed. "What is it that you have made? It smells very different."
"They are called egg rolls. It is a layer of dough wrapped around meat and vegetables then the whole thing is deep fried. Just to set the record straight, I didn't make them, I only reheated them. I like mine with sweet and sour sauce, but you can try them with or without to see what you like best."
Vincent picked one up and bit it in half. Catherine had to smile at his gusto attitude. Most of the people she knew would have taken a tentative first bite to get a feel for what it tasted like. Not Vincent, however, he dove right in eager to try something new.
Since his first bite had been sauce free, Catherine pushed the container forward as she saw him stop chewing. "What do you think?" she questioned.
"They are very good Catherine! Do you think William might be able to learn to make these?"
"I'm sure that he could," she answered watching him eat the second half without dipping it in the sauce.
He was reaching for his second one as she was speaking, but still he avoided the sauce. "Vincent, don't you want to try it with the sweet and sour sauce?"
"I love sweet things Catherine, but I have to admit I have never been a fan of sour things."
"It really isn't sour as you would think of it. Not like a lemon or such. You should try just a little so you can say that you have," she encouraged. Dipping her finger in the sauce she presented it to Vincent unaware of what kind or reaction she was about to stir up.
Even though he had just said he didn't like sour things Vincent nonetheless didn't want to disappoint Catherine by not trying something she liked. So without any more thought than that, he opened his mouth and took her finger in and licked the red sauce off of it. That simple act had been his only intention however, that was not all that happened!
As his slightly raspy tongue gently cleaned Catherine's finger she was the first to react. The sexually charged jolt that ran though her body caused her to shudder a bit, but not enough that she withdrew her finger.
This registered with Vincent and his eyes flew to hers. There was no disguising the desire she was feeling. His first thought was to release her finger, but when she closed her eyes and sighed in pleasure Vincent was mesmerized and couldn't move.
Because the Bond was wide open, both of them could feel the others pleasure and this intensified what both of them were feeling. Moaning his name Catherine moved even closer to him than she was on the couch.
Vincent had been taught never to talk with his mouth full, so could not respond in kind. But, when she moved closer to him, he opened his arms and then wrapped them around her.
"Oh Vincent! I need you to kiss me," she murmured.
Allowing her now very clean finger to slip from his mouth, Vincent moved without hesitation to kiss Catherine's upturned lips. Their kiss started at sizzle and quickly set them both to blaze. Her arms moved up around his neck and held on tight as he kissed her as she had always dreamed of being kissed.
None of the other men that had been in her life had ever transported her away with just a kiss as Vincent was doing now. She felt as if she were floating, or flying, or maybe even both at once. She felt that if she didn't hold on to him for dear life, she would actually fly away.
Vincent couldn't believe all the feelings that one kiss could generate. He could feel Catherine in his arms, but it was as if they were soaring together somewhere out there above the New York skyline. He had never before felt this way in his life! He never knew he could! Always before his feet were firmly planted on the earth with what felt, at times, like miles of earth above his head too!
He tried to break the kiss, thinking they were once again moving too far or too fast. But Catherine would not let him go. When he tried to lift his head she hung on for all she was worth. Vincent gave in and deepened the kiss even more.
Catherine could feel his arousal against her hip and for the first time he didn't try to pull away when she noticed. Instead he pressed himself against her and they moaned in unison.
This time both of them pulled back from the kiss at the same time. Their eyes met acknowledging their mutual desire.
She was just about to beg him to pick her up and carry her to the bedroom so they could make love to each other, when he did something that shocked her to the core!
