The following is an M rated chapter. If you're not into that then skip this one :)


"What a night…" I mumble, throwing myself onto the bed in our room. As my head comes in contact with the pillows, I feel like I could sleep forever. If I could sum today up in one word it would be draining. The lingering barbs of resentment I'm harboring towards Jade are like a virus, sapping me of energy with every passing moment. I don't think I'm the only one to be harboring less than fluffy feelings towards her either. It's been almost an hour since we last saw Jade, but the sound of muffled yelling from the other end of the house hasn't let up since.

"You can say that again. Do you think that's going to stop any time soon?" Tori replies. Rolling onto my back and propping myself up on my elbows, I notice Tori incline her head towards the raging storm in the distance. My lips curve upward. Tori's chocolate orbs are widened in concern and her eyebrows are raised just enough to bring a crease to her forehead. She's too beautiful for words.

"Depends how long it's been since they last fought. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of issues there." I reply, sitting up and playing therapist. Truthfully I'm not sure they're ever going to actually stop fighting based off the intensity of their argument. The storm shows no sign of abating. Tori nods in agreement, a solemn look crossing her features for a moment. I'm not sure why, but when her eyes fall on me, Tori's lips push into a smile. There's something devilish about it, but it flitters off her lips before I can analyze it any further. Tendrils of brown hair swing through the air as Tori whirls around and steps toward her luggage.

She bends at the waist and suddenly the air seems much too thick. My breath catches in my throat and I'm paralyzed as I watch Tori search through her suitcase for something. My eyes are locked to her toned legs. Like a sirens call I can't resist the urge to let my gaze roam over the bronzed skin. Biting down on my lips, I try to pull my eyes away from Tori before she realizes what a creep I'm being. I just can't do it though. If I turn away, this wonderful mirage might disappear.

"See something you like?" The words pass Tori's lips breathlessly, as she spins around and plants a palm on her hip. The memory of how to breath exits my body and I splutter pathetically as the smirk across Tori's lips deepens with each passing second. I feel like I'm going to burst into flames under the smoldering look currently igniting her features. I'm rooted to the bed as Tori pushes one leg before the other, gliding towards me with a predatory gleam in her eyes.

"Aw, don't be embarrassed. I know I see something I like." Tori purrs, the words rumbling from deep within her throat. I swallow thickly as she drapes a leg over me, before straddling my waist. Tori plants her hands on either side of my head and hovers above me, peering down at me with passion blazing within her orbs. The embers within her eyes light up our private world as her hair veils the world around us. Words form on my tongue, but as my lips part, Tori leans down and steals me in a searing kiss. Amid the bolts of electricity passing through my body as she deepens our embrace, I'm more than aware that there are worse ways to be silenced.

"I'll be back in a moment." Tori breathes into my ear, stealing my breath. From the way that she intentionally lowers her gaze and peers at me through her long eyelashes, I can't shake the impression that she's not quite ready to rest yet. The moonlight catches in them, and I feel a tightening in my throat at well as in an area currently trapped beneath Tori as I realize that she's all mine. A low moan rushes through Tori's lips as she extricates herself from me, grinding her pelvis against mine before she lifts herself off me.

I watch Tori's hips swing as she walks toward the room's bathroom, and I can't help but marvel at her movements. She's poetry in motion. As I wait for her to return, I wonder how she can veer from the girl everybody outside of this room knows to the blaze of desire that's crept into my life so quickly. Shuffling backwards, I linger against the wall behind me and try not to think too hard about how lucky I am.

The hands spiral around the clock tentatively, as if to torture me with Tori's absence. After what feels like an eternity, the bathroom door creaks and begins to open. Tori's presence trickles into the room like the first rays of sunlight. The gentle patter of her feet draws my eyes towards her. As my eyes fall upon her, my jaw falls to the floor. Tori's not just a few scattered rays of light, she's a supernova.

Where innocent brown eyes had peered at me only hours ago, darkened orbs filled with desire greet me. Their smoldering appearance is only enhanced by the thin rim of mascara around Tori's eyes and the smoky eye shadow above them. My eyes dip lower, trailing over Tori's slender neck and across her collarbone. Eventually they fall on the thin straps of Tori's lacey black mini camisole and I have to remember how to breathe.

My throat constricts as my eyes follow the miniscule material down the slope of her breasts. I realize just how little Tori is wearing. The thin black material just barely preserves her modesty and most of her midriff is exposed. My heartbeat would put hummingbirds to shame as my eyes fall on her toned stomach. I feel my heart almost leap through my chest as my eyes fall on Tori's hips and drift over her core. She's wearing nothing more than a wisp of material to conceal her most private of places.

My mind almost collapses in on itself when Tori begins to walk towards me. She's desire in physical form and she's only a step away from me. Wisps of Tori's hair fall over her face as she leans towards me and I'm fully aware of the intricacies of her makeup as her eyelids flutter. When she crawls towards me, my gaze dips again. I can't stop it from falling on her bronzed cleavage as she straddles my waist again. I can't quite swallow the lump in my throat as Tori's right hand flitters over my belt buckle for the second time tonight.

"Shh." Tori's voice passes through her lips and disappears into the air like smoke, silencing the words that had been brewing on my tongue. Her fingers deftly pop the button of my jeans, and she pushes the material away from my hips. I try to inhale, but the air becomes too thick and I feel like I'm going to pass out. Tori's eyebrows wiggle mischievously in my direction before she sweeps me into a fiery kiss and breathes life back into me. My eyes slide shut and I feel my manhood hardening and pressing against my boxers and Tori's fingers skitter over it. I feel her smile against my lips as she realizes what's happening down there.

"Uh, uh." I shake my head and mumble into Tori's mouth. The vibrations reverberate through my lips, and a moan breaks through Tori's lips as I shift beneath her. She made the first move last time as well as this time. The least I can do is make the second. If I'm on the brink of exhaustion, I want to pass out pleasing her.

I slip out from beneath Tori and roll our bodies so that I'm hovering above her. Her eyebrows draw together as she peers up at me, a look on confusion flashing through her eyes. Claiming her lips, I pour all of the passion I can into our embrace and Tori responds in kind. She runs her fingers through my hair and arcs her back towards me, like she's molten lava. As our embrace deepens, my fingers begin to wander, flittering over her body in search of her most sensitive spots. I pause in places that pull a moan past Tori's lips, teasing and pleasing in equal measure. My fingertips brush over Tori's nipple, feeling it stiffen through the sheer material of her camisole as moans vibrate against my lips.

Tori's hands roam over my back, but unlike my fumbling touch, they're precise. A dance of desire comprised of her liquid caress. Tori's fingertips wander back to my jeans, beginning to push them down my hips. Pulling away from Tori's embrace for a moment, I kick the clothing from my legs. Now clad in only my boxers, I step over Tori's left leg, my pelvis falling into the cradle of her thighs. A rush of blood reminds me of the fact that my shaft is only separated from Tori's womanhood my a few layers of fabric.

Tori arcs her body towards me, as if to encourage me to dispose of the flimsy material covering her body. She's so fluid, sitting up just enough to allow me room to remove her camisole, but not enough to break our kiss until the last possible moment. Reluctantly I break away from her lips, before peeling the material of her camisole away and freeing the bronzed goddess beneath me from her material prison. Holding the fabric in my hand, I linger on my knees and try to memorize every contour of Tori's body.

I guess I'm lost in the moment for too long, because before I know what's happening, Tori pulls me into a searing kiss. I roll my hips against her, the familiar reverberation of Tori's moan rumbling against my lips again. I finally relinquish the camisole in my right hand and brush my fingers over Tori's collarbone, a gasp from the girl beneath me trailing my touch.

Emboldened, my fingers skate along Tori's flesh. They brush against her nipple and dip beneath the swell of her breasts, yet never stop flittering from place to place. I pry my lips away from Tori's, to which her eyebrows dip and frustration crosses her features once again. The expression melts away into a throaty moan as I lean down and nip at a sensitive spot on her collarbone. Continuing to pepper Tori's neck with butterfly kisses, my hand glides over her upper thigh before dipping into the space between her legs.

"Oh!" Tori squeaks, before her words crumble into a series of indecipherable moans as I caress her most sensitive area through the fabric of her lingerie. I become more certain with my movements, developing a rhythm as Tori's hand twists through my hair. I feel her pushing my head lower and lower until I'm level with her nipple. Assuming it's what she wants, I take the sensitive nub between my lips. I'm clueless with my movements, but the moans that have begun to pass through Tori's lips with increasing volume are all the incentive I need to continue.

Tori's hips thrust against my hand and my decision is made. I pull my fingers away from her core and slide away from where I had been laying on her hipbone. I splutter like a fool, trying to hold my laughter in as Tori looses patience. Her legs hurtle into the air and her fingers wrench the bothersome material away from her body in an instant. I watch as Tori hurls the lingerie into the distance, but I couldn't say where it lands. Before the material has even found the floor, Tori pulls me back into her embrace. As I'm lost in her lips, the location of her undergarments is the last thing on my mind.

Peppering her body with kisses, I flitter lower and lower, until I'm pressing my lips to the inside of her thigh. I can feel a tremor of excitement in Tori's body as I move towards the blazing inferno between her legs. Her abs are taut with anticipation and she's squirming from side to side, impatient as she awaits my touch. With an evil grin, I pull away to the sound of Tori's discontent. Taking a few stolen seconds to kiss the back of her hand as it sweeps through the air to push me back into place, I'm sure this moment couldn't be any more perfect.

Wordlessly, I drop back into the space between her legs. It's as though I have only one purpose and that I've never been more lost all at once. Flicking my tongue over her sex, my mind drifts back to all of the locker room war stories about what girls are supposed to like. I flick my tongue over her clit, relishing her way Tori quakes at the sensation. Her legs rest over my shoulders, giving me total access to her most intimate of areas. Resting on my stomach, I slide my fingers over her legs and the perfect curves of her backside, allowing one hand to remain on her hipbone while the other trails towards the slick folds of her womanhood.

Tori's like a furnace as I run my fingers over her slick lips, her moans only deepen as the sensation rushes through her. Feeling her bucking against my hand as I plunge a finger into her depths, I can feel something building within her, beginning at the outermost reach of her fingers and slowly enveloping her entire body.

"Oh my god, Robbie!" She shrieks as I hit a particularly sensitive spot, her hips jerking forward and forcing my lips against her. I pump my fingers faster; deftly swishing my tongue across Tori's clit. Her thighs clamp down over my head with increasing strength and from the sound of her whimper, I know she's close. With one final curl of my fingers and a brush of my tongue Tori rattles over the edge of pleasure and into bliss.

Raising my head, I peer through the valley between her breasts. Tori is dragging ragged breaths into her lungs, her chest rising and falling as she tries to regain her breath. Pushing myself away from the heat of her core, I slide up her body and place a kiss on her lips for the briefest of moments. As she recovers, I roll onto my side and brace myself on one elbow, watching as she recovers from the embrace of ecstasy. This is usually where my crippling self doubt would kick in, but the image of Tori's sweat covered body beside me holds it at bay. I realize that I'm to only one that gets to see her this way and that's amazing in itself.

"Where did you learn that?" The words finally creep out between uneven breaths as Tori lazily rolls her head towards me. Quivering fingers then encircle my wrist as though she's unsure if I'm even real. She looks as though she's still partially caught in a dream, her eyelids are still half shut and she's peering at me through unfocused pupils. Tori's hair flies wildly in every direction and even ignoring the fact that she's naked, I don't think I've ever seen her look more beautiful than she does right now.

"I'm not sure." I wish that something suave would slip through my lips, but I'm totally and utterly bound by my honesty. The words creak forth, and I can still taste Tori on my tongue. Her eyebrows dip slightly, meeting above her nose. It's like she had been half expecting a scientific explanation or some sort, or even a mathematic formula.

"So you've never done that before?" She asks, the words just barely creeping above a whisper. I wipe matted hair from my brow and eye her thoughtfully, wondering if this is a first time sort of thing for her as well. There's always been something pure about Tori, so innocent. She's is achingly beautiful as well, the kind of girl men would have started wars for in ancient times.

"Nope. I-is this a first time thing for you too?" My reply clatters into the air like an unwelcome guest. As Tori's eyes meet my own, I immediately want to bury my head in my hands. Even as a familiar burning sensation crosses my cheeks, I suppress the urge shy away. There's a rosy tinge to Tori's cheeks and her eyes dart away from me, like she's ashamed. I feel my heart race as I begin to worry that she's suddenly realized just who I am and what we've done tonight.

"This is, uh…the first time doing…things for me. The lake was another first time…uh, experience." Tori's voice creaks and wavers as she forces an answer between her rapid breaths and her apprehension. I smile lightly, finding solace in her uncertainty. My fingers crawl towards Tori, stroking her hand to calm her down. As I see the chaotic emotions swirling within Tori's brown orbs, I wonder where all of the confidence from before had come from, I guess she's a better actress than I had thought. My mind struggles to comprehend that of all the people in the world, she's allowed me to be the first person to touch her like this.

"I have a secret to tell you…" I whisper, leaning forward and looming over Tori. As I breathe the words into her ear, I feel a shiver rush up Tori's spine. Dragging together all of my courage, I trace my fingers over the faint contours of her abs. Tori inhales sharply with a moan, further strengthening my resolve.

"What?" Tori barely pushes the reply out before my fingers flutter over a sensitive patch of skin just below the swell of her breasts. She arcs her back, trying to gain something more from me then the skittering touch of my fingers. Tori's eyebrows drag together and impatience dances with desperation in her eyes as I resist the overwhelming urge to give into our collective desires.

"You were completely and utterly amazing in the lake." After a few stolen moments, I finally give Tori an answer. I pepper my reply with kisses along her neck and along her jawbone, when I pull away I'm met with beams of light. The frustration on Tori's face is but a memory as a brilliant flash of white passes before my eyes. Tori's lips stretch into a wide grin, something like relief swimming behind her happiness.

"Since this is a night of firsts…I have one other thing that I want to do."

My heart begins to rattle against my ribs as Tori's voice sets off an earthquake within me. All of the air seems to drain from the room when Tori rocks herself into an upright position and tucks a wild strand of hair behind her ear. As the possibilities swirl around within my mind, Tori takes a deep breath. I'm on the verge of a cardiac episode when Tori's lips part slightly.

"Robbie, I want you to be my first…" Tori's voice weaves through the air, somehow navigating through the nervous energy coming from my every pore. Even still, Tori's words never quite manage to hold themselves together. They unravel in her throat, her own nerves rattling them loose. There's a flush on her cheeks as well. The hue is complete and utter vulnerability.

"First what?" I force a joke into the air, trying to ease her tension by reminding her that she's just with me. I'm Robbie and she's Tori, there's no reason at all for her to be nervous. I'm certain that my limbs should be rattling out of control and my mind should be liquidating into a pool within my skull, but I'm not. It's as though her vulnerability cancels mine out or something.

"You know exactly what first I'm talking about." Tori hisses, jabbing me in the chest with her index finger. The attempted irritation in her voice is completely undermined by the grin on her lips and the sparkle within her eyes as she speaks. My hand sweeps through the air, landing on Tori's shoulder and gently pulling her into my embrace. Tori's hair tickles my bare skin and as she rests her head on my chest, I know she can feel my heart hammering against my chest.

"Are you sure?" I mumble into her hair, unable to escape the death grip that self doubt has on me. I can't shake the feeling that with the rise of the sun whatever spell Tori is under will wear off. I really don't want to screw this up by being too eager and have her wake up tomorrow hating me. If she changes her mind right now, it's not the end of the world. She's already given me more than I could have ever hoped for.

As though she's got a key to the inner workings of my mind, Tori pushes away from my chest and shoots upright. She regards me for a moment, peering straight past the confident front I'm desperately trying to maintain. Wisps of hair do little to conceal the way her eyebrows dip almost impercievably. I almost consider looking for a clock as the moment between us seizes up. This is decidedly the longest second of my life by some margin.

"I'm definitely sure." Tori finally announces as she rises to a kneeling position. Without another word, she drapes a leg over my waist and once again straddles my waist. A familiar smile attaches itself to Tori's lips again, putting the stars in the sky completely to shame.

I can't believe she's mine.
