He puts his hand under my chin and brings my face to his.I keep my eyes closed tight, and I put my hands to his face, blindly placing my fingers to feel his warm, moist, kissable lips.
I want to kiss those lips for the rest of my life.
With that thought, my resolve sets deep in the core of my being.The place where doubt and indecision don't survive.I rest my forehead on my fingers and promise myself.I will fight for him with all the wildness I possess.I lift my face and tap my fingers on his lips, thinking.How do I tell him what I truly believe in a way he will understand?
He has to understand!Once this word is uttered between us, we can't take it back.It will take on a life of its own, and it has the power to tear us apart if we aren't ready...and we are NOT ready.
I stroke my fingers against his lips.Time will either be the key that shows this beautiful thing we have to be true love, or it will prove to be our enemy.But either way, we need time to know for sure.
"Siri….Look… at me."His voice is husky with emotion.He tightens his grip, pulling me into his strong arms, pressing my body against his.Only the fabric of his suit shields me from his hot aura and prevents my resolve from melting away.
"Aurei," I whisper, and he rubs his thumbs on my back while he nibbles at my fingers.
Sweet Zeus, this is hard!My insides are shaking.
"Aurei, please don't say you love me."
I feel his mouth open to speak, and my fingertips fall inside his lips.His tongue touches the tips, and his lips close around them.My whole world becomes that precious spot of caressing from his tongue.His hand slides down to my butt cheeks and squeezes me, pressing into my flesh against his erection.It is hard and ready to take me back to Heaven forever.
"Aurei.Don't."I squeak out, and my voice cracks.
He brings both hands to my face.He traces the backside of his finger down my cheek as he whispers against my fingers in his mouth."Siri."
Afraid that if I wait, my words will be lost forever with his tender touch, I rush them, and they spill out as he takes a stray strand of my hair and curls it around his finger.
Sweet Zeus, give me strength to say this.Straight line, no curves.
I pause, thinking of what to say next in the most concise way so Aurei understands."The word love is thrown around so carelessly, and it shouldn't be.It's the most precious thing between two people that there is."
He lifts his head, and my fingers leave his mouth, resting on his chin."Look at me."
His deep tone strikes a raw cord down deep, jolting my wild nature, giving me the strength I need to say what I must say because I know I will never be able to resist him.His touch.His tone.His magnetism.I am his.I belong to him.
"Please, Baby Thang."He whispers.
I steal myself for his searching look and do what he requests.I open my eyes and look into his gorgeous green pools of peace.He smiles that 'sexy as hell' smile at me and winks that killer wink.Sweet Zeus, I'm going to swoon.
"But...."He starts where he left off.
I slam my eyes shut as a small whimper escapes my throat and I fan my fingers against his lips, keeping his words from leaving his mouth.
He drops his face into my neck, buries his nose, and nuzzles my neck.He growls that low, almost inaudible throat moan he doesn't know he does as wave after wave of love course through my veins.
Can true love be this easy?Surely, not.I have witnessed too many people in my line of work struggling and failing to be true to the one they say they love.I don't want that.We have to be sure.
I put my arms around him and pull myself tight to him.His hands slide down my back and cup my ass again.I feel so secure in his arms.
Aurei and I must have a relationship built on a solid foundation.
My heart pounds in my chest.I know I have to continue, or I run the risk of losing him one day,but it's so hard to say!
I turn my face to speak directly in his ear.A whisper is all I can manage."Aurei, I prefer you don't use that word just yet.Not right now.Maybe later."
He nuzzles me, and his hands slide down between the crack of my ass then between my legs.My eyes roll back into my head when he caresses me there."We have to be sure that this beautiful thing we haveisthe true version of that."
"But...."
I tell him weakly."It's too soon for the declarations, that's all.We only met a week ago.Please don't."
