Time Well Spent

By: ParamoreXO

A/N: KEVIN'S POV

When I answered the front door, the last thing I expected Gwen to come in my home with was a stopwatch. "Hey babe," I flashed her what I was hoping my best grin. The sparkle in her astonishing green eyes was unmistakable. Oh yeah, she digged it.

The brightly shining sun acted as a spotlight behind her curvy figure, making her blazing red hair seem to literally be on fire. A cool breeze swept past us, ruffling her short mini skirt a little. I couldn't help but lick my lips slightly. As she stepped inside, I carefully shut and locked the door.

She gave me a quick, sweet peck on the lips. Mmm…strawberry flavored lip gloss. She'd changed it from her usual green apple flavor. "No," I whispered in her thick, fire red hair, slinging my arm around her waist to catch her before she walked off. "I want more than a little kiss like that."

"Kevin Ethan Levin," She giggled as I began to tickle her on the neck. "S-Stop—it!" she tried whacking me off of her playfully but I wasn't about to let go of her just yet. Lifting her neck up a little, I leaned in and placed my lips on her now exposed skin.

"Kevin…" She breathed as I sucked slightly on her creamy flesh. It made my heart drum faster whenever she said my name like that. Wrapping my arms even tighter around her tiny waist, I moved to her jaw, trailing to her ear. Her hands were tangled in my hair now, driving me wild as she tried to push me even farther into her to deepen the kiss.

My goal was to miss her lips on purpose. It drove her crazy when I did that and I loved it. I planted a light one on her nose, so soft I barely felt it. I moved to her cheeks, grazing them all over her burning flesh. Then I closed in to trap the farthest corner of her lips, tugging slightly at the fold o tender flesh. Wanting more, I captured her upper lip, trailed over to the other corner of her mouth, and lightly pulled at her quivering bottom lip. Grinning, I rested my forehead against hers, our noses rubbing slightly against each other. "Couldn't stay away from me for over twenty four hours?"

"Kevin!" She squirmed in my arms, smacking me on the shoulder with mock hurt pooling in her beautiful emerald eyes. I wasn't going to let go, though, and she knew it. Gripping her firmly at the hips, I tried to ignore the way she was running her fingers up and down my chest. It just felt so…good. It was becoming harder to hold her with still arms.

"You know it's true," letting her go ruefully, I went over to turn off the TV. If we were going to spend our time like this, I didn't want the background noise, "So, why exactly do you have a stopwatch?"

Her hands laced through mine as she pulled me over to the couch. "Well, I wanted to try a little game."

"With a stopwatch?" Gwen was a very bright girl, always the logical thinker. But as she sat there in front of me looking as beautiful as ever with her slightly windswept hair and flushed cheeks, I was starting to have second thoughts.

"Yeah," dropping my hands, she fiddled with the tiny black stopwatch, "So, we set the timer on a minute and try to make our kisses last that long. When we finish, we time ourselves a little more to five minutes and add five minutes each time we finish the last trial."

Eyeing the devious sparkle in her eyes, I scooted a little closer to her, the leather groaning under me. "What if I don't want to play?"

"Too bad," She clicked the start button and tossed it aside, "We're playing anyways."

With that, she leaned in, took my face in her cold hands and kissed me right on the lips. Each time the timer would beep, we broke apart with disappointment. Once she added the extra five minutes, however, it completely made up for it. By the end of the night, we had reached forty-five minutes on the clock before her cell phone signaled that it was time for her to come home.

As we stood on the porch, Gwen's stopwatch in her hand, the moon was shining down on us intensely with its bright silver glare. "We could always set a new record tomorrow?"

I nodded and kissed her one last time before she had to leave. We weren't just going to set a new record tomorrow, we were gonna set a new world record. I was going to make sure of that.
