Eric marveled at the treasure he had found. He kissed her neck and throat, he wanted more, but there wasn’t time and this certainly wasn’t the place. He pulled back, bringing her hands down; she laid her head against his chest and gasped for breath.
He had kissed her until they both had to stop for air. Laying his head against her neck, Eric was unwilling to part from her even for a little while. Then she did something totally unexpected. She laughed, the sweetest laugh - a joyous lilting, celebration of wonder. Eric couldn’t help but step back and look at her in amazement. But he couldn’t help but smile. “What are you laughing at? What do you find so funny?” He let his fingers dance over her ribs, making her giggle all the more.
“I’m laughing because I’m happy.” Those simple words touched him more than anything ever had.
“Oh, we’ve only just begun, babe.” He returned to her mouth and gave her one last sweet, gentle kiss. “We have to go, babe. Your family’s waiting.” He meant what he said, but then he disobeyed his own directive, kissing her neck, scraping his teeth on the exposed skin of her shoulder.
“I know. It’s just that…”
He rubbed his face against hers, the scent of her skin making him drunk with passion.
“What is it, love? What do you want?”
Her answer nearly brought him to his knees. “You. Eric, I want you.” If it were possible, he pulled her even closer. And in response to her declaration, he pressed his swollen, aching shaft against her, letting her know that he was as desperate as she was.
“I’ve been hard from the first moment I saw you. Let’s go get this dinner over and then I promise to love you all night long.” His voice was husky with anticipation.
“We can’t. My grandmother and Angelique are staying at my house.” Her hands were on his shoulders, fingers never still, kneading the muscles that strained with the effort to hold himself back—to keep from picking her up and laying her across the hood of his car.
Damn! “For how long?”
“I’m not sure.”
“We’ll deal with it some way, I have to have you—and soon. Before the night’s over I’ll come up with a plan. Trust me?”
“I do trust you. We’ll do whatever you say.” Their conversation was helping, he could tell. Her heart rate was slowing and breathing was becoming a little easier.
“Well, then we’ll wait one more day. Tomorrow is Sunday; I don’t go back on duty till Monday morning.” He hugged her close. “I’ve waited a lifetime for you; one more day won’t kill me, maybe.” Holding the door open for her, he waited while she slipped down into the car. Then, he went around and climbed in, started the car, put it into gear and pulled out into the street.
Almost automatically, his hand came over to rest possessively on her knee. “I feel like we’ve met before, but I know nothing about you.” He felt her tense. Should he say something about the dreams? He chose not to, not yet, anyway. “Relax, babe.” He began to move his hand from her knee up to her thigh and back. “I’m just trying to let our minds catch up with our bodies. Tell me five things about yourself before we get to the restaurant.”
It didn’t escape his notice, she trembled. Was he making her nervous? “I’m twenty-one years old and a Junior at UT. My hometown is New Orleans. My dad died in the Gulf War and my mom drowned in Katrina.”
They had stopped at a red light. He took advantage of the moment, pulled her close and kissed her cheek. “I’m sorry, babe.”
“I’m all right. It was a long time ago. Now tell me five things about you.” She encouraged him, by placing her hand over his, as it rested on her leg.
“I’m older than you, twenty-eight. I also graduated from UT with a degree in Psychology and my eventual career goal is to own my own Security Company. Firefighting was a dream of mine that I just couldn’t let go of, so I decided to get
