Sorry, I uh, couldn’t help myself, I smirked, noticing the slight blush that was spreading across her cheeks. A girl who knows her action movies is just damn sexy.
Who says I mind ? She whispered, raising her eyebrow at me.
God damn it ! She was not making this whole ‘taking it slow’ thing easy. Running my hand through my hair, I nodded over to the TV cabinet and gestured to the movie ; anything to distract myself from Lily’s bare legs that I wanted to glide my hand up, or her lips that I just wanted to ravage.
The disc is over there, I said, Do you want to go put it in to the DVD player ?
Yeah, she nodded, smiling at me like she knew I was trying to distract myself.
Taking a breath, I leant back in to the sofa and watched as Lily walked over to the DVD player. She bent over and started searching through the small pile of discs that were on the bottom shelf. Oh holy lord ! I groaned inwardly as her shorts stretched across her ass, moulding to it like a second skin. The backs of her thighs looked smooth and lightly tanned. I ached to reach over there and stroke them gently. Averting my eyes, I felt myself getting hard just at the mere sight of her. Looking to the side, I quickly grabbed a cushion and placed it over my lap, trying to hide the fact that I was so aroused.
Okay it’s in, Lily said, turning around and walking back over to the couch.
I just grit my teeth as Lily collapsed beside me, her shoulder brushing against mine. She was so close that her thigh was touching my leg, and I could feel her body heat seeping through my pyjama bottoms. Clearing my throat, I tried to discreetly move away, but just as I started to move, Lily beat me to it and moved to the other side of the sofa.
Hey, where do you think you’re going ? I frowned, suddenly missing the feel of her warm body against mine.
Nowhere, she shrugged, grinning at me. I was just gonna stretch out if that’s okay with you ?
Sure, I muttered, as she swung her legs on to the cushion that was on my lap.
I prayed she couldn’t feel my hard on through the cushion, but she didn’t say anything so I figured I was okay. Turning my attention towards the movie, I was soon absorbed in the explosions and car chases. I was a sucker for those !
Oh come on ! Lily suddenly shouted beside me. Just shoot the asshole !
I burst out laughing and turned to face her. Jeez, I never knew you were such an action fan.
Are you kidding ? She said, without taking her eyes off the screen. It’s awesome, and when he falls down that air shaft, holy crap that’s badass.
So, I’m guessing you’ve seen this before then ?
Of course, John McClane is the ultimate action good guy, she said, her eyes still glued to the screen.
As I stared at her, I couldn’t believe my luck that I had found a girl as perfect as Lily. The girls I had been with before didn’t even compare to her. Smiling to myself, I turned back towards the movie and watched as a loud gunfight erupted. But as I watched Bruce Willis shoot the heck out of some bad guys, I couldn’t focus. Reaching up, I placed my hand on Lily’s ankle, stroking it with the pad of my thumb. I felt her flinch underneath me, but I kept stroking, not being able to stop myself. With my eyes still on the screen, I moved my hand higher all the way up to her knee. Her skin was smooth, and I completely lost track of the movie as I kept moving higher.
Lily started to breathe heavily and she turned towards me with wide eyes. Noah… She murmured, placing her hand over mine.
I nodded and went to move it away, understanding that she wanted to take it slow, so I gasped when she moved it higher, to the edge of her shorts. That’s it ! I thought. Moving so fast that Lily barely had time to react, I shifted out from underneath and stood over her. As I stared down, she just looked up at me with wide eyes, not moving at all. The familiar blush was creeping up her neck and it sent a jolt of desire through me.
Damn it Lily, I whispered, barely able to control myself.
But as she looked up at me and bit her lip, pure lust took over. I moved on to the couch and eased myself down over her. My body was pressing against hers, and she was trapped against me and the couch. She had nowhere to go. Lowering my head, I placed my lips against the curve of her ear and kissed it lightly, savouring the sweet taste of her skin. She gasped and tilted her neck, giving me more access. Smiling, I trailed kisses down her neck, loving the feeling of her against me.
Suddenly, I felt Lily grab my hair and yank my head up quickly. What are you
But I didn’t have time to finish the question, as Lily crashed her lips against mine, her tongue begging for entrance. Moaning in to her mouth, I kissed her, gently nipping the edge of her bottom lip. And as I kissed her, I ran my hand up her thigh and slipped it under her shirt, gently caressing above her hip bone. I was careful not to go anywhere near the scar.
Lily arched her body up in to mine, and I took that as a signal to continue. Moving my hand up higher, I stroked her ribs with the pad of my thumb, my erection straining against my pants. Cupping her breast, I groaned when I felt the soft lacy material of her bra. I was lost in her, and it took me a second to realize that she had stopped kissing me.
Noah… She whispered, placing both of her hands on my chest.
Coming back to my senses, I looked at her and frowned when I realized her eyes looked misty, like she was on the verge of crying. Oh God Lily, I’m sorry, I
No, it’s me. It’s always me, she mumbled, trying to get out from underneath me.
Reluctantly letting her go, I placed my hands on either side of her and pushed myself up off the couch so I was sitting up. I watched as she sat up too and pulled her t-shirt down. I thought that you… I trailed off, not knowing what to say.
She wouldn’t meet my eye ; she just kept staring at the floor. I don’t mean to lead you on, she mumbled, wiping her eyes. But every time I think I can be with you that way, something stops me.
Look at me Lily, I said, reaching forward and gently cupping her chin, forcing her to look at me. You never have to be sorry for that. I don’t want to be with you unless you’re ready.
As she stared at me, I saw the disbelief in her eyes, like she thought I was lying. Noah, I want to be with you, but I can’t. Not yet.
I understand, I smiled, shuffling closer to her and wrapping my arm around her shoulder. But I just need you to never forget what I’ve told you. I will wait for you, however long it takes.
She nodded and I kissed the top of her head, lowering us on to the sofa so her head was resting on my shoulder. I’m sorry, I heard her say, barely audible.
Reaching my other hand over, I took hold of her hand and entwined our fingers, squeezing her hand gently. Never be sorry, I whispered.
I felt her nod gently, so I settled back and thought about what had just happened. It was almost like Lily had flipped a switch, and she realized what she was doing. I felt the anger course through me as I thought about what had caused Lily to be this way. And I hoped with all my heart that her father was rotting in hell for what he had done to her. As I felt Lily stir beside me, I hoped I would be enough to help her forget.
*2 Hours Later*
The credits began to roll, so I reached for the remote and flicked off the TV. I stayed sitting as Lily got up from the sofa and turned towards me. She looked down at me and smiled sadly, I’m gonna go back to the apartment and get some sleep.
No, I shook my head, not willing to let her go tonight.
No ? She repeated, a questioning look on her face.
You’re gonna stay here, I stated simply, getting up of the couch and stepping towards her.
Noah, I’m not
Just to sleep Lily, I smiled, taking hold of her hand and leading her to my bedroom.
I was worried that she would protest, or take her hand away. But to my relief, she didn’t let go, she just followed me in to the bedroom. As I flicked on the light, I stepped behind her and shut the door. Sweeping my arm around, I cringed, noticing the heap of clothes on the floor, and the dirty plate on the chair. Crap !
So, I know you’ve been here before, I shrugged. But you didn’t really get a chance to look around so here it is. Casa de Noah !
She smiled as she glanced around, finally settling her eyes on me. I can’t stay here ; I don’t even have any pyjamas.
Not a problem for me, I joked.
Very funny, she said, turning around to reach for the door handle. I’ll go back to my apartment and get some pyjamas. I’ll be back over in a minute.
