Chapter 8: Oh, How You Romance Me



            I smiled back at him and pressed myself deeper into his chest to take in his clean masculine scent, “Your place? It’s closer than mine.”

            He only lived about fifteen minutes away as opposed to my thirty. His lips traced the line of my neck as he breathed, “Sure. But my parents are home.”

            I pulled away from him and brought my hand up to touch his face ever so gently. My lips curled again in a smile, “So?”

            Cain reached forward and grabbed my hips, bringing me into him. His voice was low as he spoke into my ear, “What are we waiting for?”

            He laced his hand in mine and we fought our way to the exit. Tammy caught my eye and I signaled that I would text her later. Speaking of later, what time was it anyway? I guess I would find out in the car. Car. Right. How was I supposed to get home? I would figure that out later, I suppose. I opened the passenger door and climbed inside. It smelled like him- his deodorant mixed with the air freshener I bought him over the summer so his car wouldn’t smell like sweaty football pads. He turned on the car and his favorite radio station came on, hard rock, but he quickly changed it to mine- which was still preset on his favorites to my surprise. His blue eyes ate me up, “Is this station okay, or would you prefer another?”

            I smiled at his adorable-ness, “No, this is fine.”

            The ride went by quickly and before I knew it we were pulling into his driveway, “Wait here for a second. I’ll go see if anyone is still up and then come back for you.” I waited like he said and he came back just a moment later. We crept into the house, both of us carrying our shoes in our hands. Somehow, the fact that we were sneaking around made everything so much more exciting. We made it all the way through the kitchen and living room to get to his bedroom. I had been in here many times before, most of them being while his parents were away visiting friends or his mom went away on a business trip and his dad decided to go spend the weekend hunting. We had played video games with his brother on this bed. We had cuddled and fallen asleep together in this bed. I couldn’t believe this was happening. His parents were upstairs. We were here. What would happen if they caught us?

            It didn’t matter. We wanted each other. And it wasn’t like we hadn’t done something like this before. I stood at the edge of the bed, my fingers tracing the geometric design of the comforter- remembering what it had felt like to lay here so many times before. I felt his hands slip around my waste and his weight press against my back. I enlaced my fingers with his and a sigh escaped me as his lips met my neck. They traced their way down to my shoulder, which he knew I had always loved. I turned to face him, letting my hands unbutton the shirt to reveal his strong broad chest as it slipped off his shoulders and onto the floor. He leaned his face close to mine, so close that our foreheads touched and we breathed the same air, “I’ve missed you.” His voice came in a whisper against my lips.

            I smiled and let one hand rest gently against his chest, “I’ve missed you, too.”

            There was a slight rustle as his pants slumped onto the floor, my dress shortly followed and everything lay in a heap beside the bed. The darkness surrounded us. We could barely make out anything but the shimmer reflecting in each other’s eyes. Moonlight drifted into the room through the window- stars glimmering in the night sky. Together the moon and stars would hold our secrets, just as they had done many times before. I closed my eyes as he kissed me deeply, our bodies pressing into the bed. Cain pulled away and the moonlight made his skin glow silver against the darkness- his eyes so clear and blue, “Are you sure that this is what you want?”

            His face was twisted in concern and longing, was he questioning what had happened between us two weeks ago? Had he realized how much of a mistake it had been? I reached up and brought his lips to mine. “Yes.”
