“Fuck it,” David swore and got up from the couch. When he headed towards the bed, Bonnie froze. He was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and he never took his eyes off her as he climbed onto the bed and hovered above her.
“What is your problem, Bonnie?” He asked.
“I don’t have a problem. You’re a the one who has a problem”
“Well then, do you mind telling me what my problem is?
“I will” Bonnie shot back and lifted her body so she was balanced on her elbows. The position brought her dangerously close to David, but she didn’t care, determined to try to talk some sense into him. “You problem is that you’re afraid of being happy. You’re afraid of letting go and letting someone in. You build this…. Annoying wall around yourself and end up pushing everyone who cares about you away and you make excuses for it… like your job and shit like that, but the truth is that you’re just afraid of people leaving. You feel like you are better off if you are not attached to anyone and that’s just sad… It’s sad because everyone needs someone. Why is it so hard for you to open up? Will it be so bad if you do?”
David stared at her. She had just said the same thing Mavis had said to him over and over again and the worst part was that he knew that she was right. But even if she was, she didn’t realize that he was honestly trying to protect her, and protecting her meant keeping her away from him.
“You won’t get it even if I explained it to you” he said.
“You keep saying that” Bonnie replied, unable to hide her frustration. “You keep making decisions for me as if I’m not capable of thinking for myself”
She lifted one hand to his chin and caressed him gently. David closed his eyes, enjoying the way her touch made him feel. When he opened it again, the look in her eyes made him melt. No one had ever made him feel the way she did, like she was reaching inside of him and making him feel things he didn’t want to feel.
“I know you feel something for me” she said confidently, “And you’re right, I still need to figure out a lot of things about my life, but this part… this part about the both of us… I think I have that part figured out alright. I know that I want you and I want to be with you. I know you want me too, but you have to let me in, David. Don’t end this. Don’t push me away. Please… it would hurt really bad to be apart from you”
When he didn’t say anything, her hands moved to his neck and she pulled him down towards her. He couldn’t resist her when her lips brushed his softly and she sighed. He stayed above her… frozen while her lips explored his, coaxing a response from him.
She felt him pull away and held off opening her eyes for a few seconds. She could still taste his lips and wanted more. Hell, if she could, she’d probably jump him right here and now. Then she opened her eyes and looked at him and realized that he wasn’t going to make this easy for her.
His face was still so close to hers, she could see his dark eyes. So close that all she could smell was him. He had a musky, sexy scent and she wanted to run her hands and mouth all over him. To play her fingers over the ripples in his arms and chest and show him how much she wanted him. She felt his finger on her chin and enjoyed when he moved his hand and pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. Then he ran his hand into her hair and pulled her closer so that he was a breath away.
“This is probably a mistake,” he whispered right before he laid his lips gently on hers.
No. It was definitely not a mistake, she thought as his mouth moved over hers and she felt a shiver run down her spine. Her hands went into his dark hair, holding him closer as she tilted her head and took the kiss deeper.
David kissed her with unmistakable passion, stamping her with his need in the most delicious way. It went beyond mere exploration, and became a thorough taking. Not rushed. But slow and deep and giving. Bonnie’s breathing quickened, desire rising like a storm driven tide, building inexorably, need an immense tidal wave flinging itself toward shore. It broke, spilling over her in a great rush and she clung to him, hanging on tight, then tighter. His tongue dueled with hers, lips and mouth teasing, mating, and he thrust his hands deep into her hair, using the tangle of thick heavy curls to anchor her to him.
David pulled his lips away and gently pushed her down so she lay on her back. Then he moved lower. He dipped his head and kissed and licked his way back up her legs until finally he reached the inside of her thighs. Her nightie was hiked up, exposing her silk panties, but he made no move to remove them. Instead, as his eyes were on hers, he reached up, slowly pulling the nightie down her shoulders. Her hands were beside her on the bed and when he’d finally finished taking it off. Using just his fingers, he trailed over her soft skin until he circled her nipples, causing them to rise and bud.
Then he just looked down at her. “Beautiful.” He smiled, then dipped his head to taste the skin he’d just exposed. She arched up and grabbed his hair as he rained wet kisses over her heated skin.
He trailed kisses down her body, then he moved back down below to the inside of her thighs again. She felt like she couldn’t breathe, waiting for him to touch her in the place she wanted, the place she needed him.
Slowly, he ran his hands up until he could pull her silk panties down her legs slowly. Then he ran his mouth over her heated skin, moving upwards until, finally, his mouth licked her tender skin causing her to arch off the bed and moan.
