minutes later it was served with our
salads. We talked a lot, but it was all fun, light conversation. I told her
more stories like the one that Guy had told her – ones where I looked a little
less like a dork. She told me about her classes at school. I still got the
feeling that she wasn’t telling me something important for her past, but that
was okay. I sort of had the feeling that she would tell me when she was ready.
Maybe I was being delusional, but I really felt us bonding.
    We both stopped at one beer and then we drank water.
We shared a chocolate volcano dessert that was intoxicating in itself and then drove back to the hotel. I had every intention
of dropping her off like I had the night before and
keeping my date with my right hand. But tonight, she was different. She was
happy, almost giddy and she didn’t seem to want the night to end any more than
I did.
    “Do you want to come in and have a drink with me?”
she asked.
    “Sure.” I didn’t want a drink, but I wasn’t going to
pass up the opportunity to be alone with her, even if all it amounted to was
just that. She let me inside and we opened the mini-bar. There were some tiny
little beers in there so we both took two and settled down next to each other
on the bed. She lifted hers and looked me in the eyes.
    “To riding Hurricane,” she said. I clanked my little
bottle to hers and drank. After I downed the four ounces or whatever it was, I
realized she was staring into my eyes again with that look that made me want to
lay her out right there. Instead, I stood up off the bed and looked down at
her. She was still looking at me, but now she looked disappointed.
    “We can’t do this again if it’s going to be the same
as last time,” I told her. She stood up and took a few steps from the bed and
then turned around and looked at me. She had one piece of that sexy hair
hanging down over her eyes and I wanted to reach out and touch it, twist my
fingers up in it, but I stayed put and waited.
    In a voice that sounded almost breathless and only
made me want her that much more she said, “I’m not playing with you, Mark. This
is just so damned complicated, but I feel…I feel so…” I could see it in her
eyes. She felt what I was feeling and I had the same problem trying to describe
it. I finally just said the hell with it and I closed the foot between us and grabbed
her around the waist, pulling her up against me. The heat from her body was
enough to cause the fire already burning in my core to flare up and the rise
and fall of her breath and the rhythmic beating of her heart against my chest
was all too much. I let my hands slide up her back underneath her blouse, and I
could feel the goosebumps rise along her flesh as I did. Her eyes were hooded
and her hands on my chest. I didn’t know if she was going to lean in and kiss
me or push me away. I brought my hands up and rested them against the sides of
her neck and let my thumbs swipe the sides of her face slowly. I looked at her
lips and told her, “If you don’t stop me now, I won’t be able to stop myself.”
She moaned as I brought my lips down next to hers, and I could feel the heat
and vibrations from her breath. I grabbed two fistfuls of hair and tilted her
head back, letting my lips brush against her earlobe. She moaned again, louder
this time. Then I let them trail down along the side of her face to her
shoulder where I licked and nipped with my teeth. She pressed harder into my
chest with her breasts, and I finally claimed her mouth. There was no
resistance left in either one of us. We were doing this and there was no going
back now. I found her tongue and tangled it up in mine as I guided her around
so that her legs were against the bed. I tried to lower her slowly, but we were
both way too excited. She tumbled backwards and landed on her back against the
bed.
