After dinner, atched a ame for hours that I still didn’t understandand I already wanted another night like the one we’d just had

My fingers flexed against her hips when her ainst ues brushed against each other Moving ainst me, and she arched her back so her chest pushed intoback Her hands slowly moved fro on the top of ers ainst my skin

Pushing off the wall, I took the few steps until her back hit the opposite wall, and released her lips toaside the collar of her shirt, I placed slow kisses across her collarbone as I pressed a hand to the s her body closer to mine

Closing the distance between us again, I put s hit the bed She stuh, and I h so I could step between her legs, I watched as she moved the straps of the bra off her shoulders and down her arms As soon as it was on the floor with her shirt, her hands went to cover herself, and her legs tried to close as the most beautiful blush I’ve ever seen stained her cheeks

Moving one of rabbed at her wrists andar our hands above her head, I brushed irl go?"

Her lips tre to start it--­and to feel confident Its another when there’s nothing to hide behind anyh to look into her eyes, and shook my head softly "Don’t hide yourself withher until I felt her body begin to relax under mine, I slowly moved down her neck and chest until I reached the swell of her breast With the hand still on her knee, I ran it up her thigh, taking her short and loose skirt with h the bunched-­upone of her niles into ainst her when her back arched and her fingers gripped my hand--­just like she’d done e’d been inback on my knees, I moved down her breast and over to the other to pay the saers trail under the part of the skirt that was still covering her I s, and the top of her underwear, but never closer until she started restlesslyon the bed
