He leaned in and kissed me long and slow, undoing my nerves and making my body melt into his. The energy that was always present between us was turned up to a thousand. I felt like I’d stop breathing if he stopped kissing me. His hand sent a chill down my spine just by caressing my cheek. My whole body was ablaze.
Our clothes practically took themselves off as AJ laid me down on top of the blanket. The stars circling above entranced me while he kissed a slow trail from my lips, to my neck, chest, stomach, and beyond. A deep sigh left my lungs and the breath didn’t return until sometime later. I gasped at the feel of his tongue exploring the void between my thighs, reminding me of yet another reason that I was so deep in love with him. I licked my lips and became drunk with ecstasy as he pleasured me so thoroughly that I shed a tear. My fingers tugged gently at his hair as he held my hips firmly in place and made me come so hard that my thighs clenched against the sides of his face.
Breathless, I stared down my naked body and into his eyes. Pulling him down onto the blanket, I climbed on top without hesitation. His large hands gripped my breasts while I rode him gently at first and then harder as another orgasm came into view. I moaned and lifted my eyes to the stars moving about the ceiling, feeling lost in them as if I wasn’t even on solid ground anymore. I lowered my gaze to AJ as he stiffened and arched forward, making it easier to devour his lips while he groaned and came just as hard as I did. The movement in my hips didn’t cease until he pulled his lips away and his head rested back against the blanket with a relaxed expression on his face.
I pushed my hair back and when I lowered my hand to AJ’s chest, I caught sight of the ring he’d just given me. Was I really going to get to have him forever? Would we really be this happy years down the road? I smiled down on him and placed another kiss on his lips, believing in my heart that this would be the case.
“I love you,” he said once more, leaving me with the impression that he couldn’t quite say it enough.
“And I love you,” I replied, praying that he could feel how serious I was. These weren’t empty words. They weren’t just a response to his statement. They were the truth, from the bottom of my heart.
AJ took the hand that now held a physical representation of his feelings for me, kissing it once before adding, “Today. Tomorrow. Always…..”
Chapter9
Sam
“Sam!” Terrell called out from the other side of the door. With sleep-blurred eyes, I glanced over at the clock and immediately hopped up. When I opened the door Terrell shook his head and sighed. “You look like hell.”
“Shut up; I must’ve forgotten to set my alarm,” I said, leaving him behind to rush into the bathroom so I could brush my teeth.
“Hurry up. We’re gonna be late.”
He was getting on my nerve as usual. “You could just leave you know. My feelings won’t be hurt at all if you decide to walk without me today…or…always.”
“Less talking and more….whatever it is that you’re doing. We have,” Terrell paused, “ten minutes.”
“I don’t need you to do a countdown, just give me a minute! Please shut up like I asked you to.”
“Nine minutes,“ he stated, obviously trying to get under my skin.
“It’s too early, Terrell. Way too early.” When I emerged from the bathroom wearing sweats and a t-shirt, Terrell handed me a Pop-Tart.
“You look like a Raggedy Ann doll that got caught in a lawnmower and then chewed on by a dog.”
“Well aren’t you just a bucket of sunshine this morning,” I replied. Terrell smiled as he stood to his feet so that we could attempt to get to class on time.
The courtyard was emptier than usual. A few students hurried across the grass, trying to get their lectures.
“I can’t believe you overslept,” Terrell said under his breath.
“And I can’t believe you’re still talking about it. Give it rest.”
