CHAPTER 19 |
Part 19
I crave the smell of your cologne,the feel of your lips caressing my body again.
I need to feel your arms
wrapped around me,
shielding me from the chill
of the damp night air.
You and I together;
entwined in a sea of passion;
sea of love.
You inside of my love,
threatening to release all of my desire.
Love controlling our bodies,
forbidding us to separate.
As I contract around your muscle,
you gently kiss my lips and tell me you love me.
I say the same,
slowly,
as we respond to the height of our togetherness.
Covered with perspiration,
we wash each other,
only to repeat the process.
Todd and Tea continue to kiss, neither wanting to separate. Todd's hands do not leave her abdomen, still moving in a circular motion. She pulls away from his lips, and turns away from him.
"What's wrong?" Todd turns her head toward him and looks into her eyes. He notices the tears she is trying so hard to fight.
"Nothing," she lies.
"Tea, if this is moving too fast for you, let me know. We don't have to do anything that you're not ready to do."
"No, it's not that. I've waited so long for you to want me, and here we are."
"Don't you know by now that I've always wanted you? I know it sounds weird, but it's like I have been moving toward you my whole life. We're meant for each other Tea."
She is too choked with emotion to respond. Instead, she lets the tears overtake her as her body convulses into uncontrollable sobs. He takes her into her arms and holds her, feeling the warmth of her tears soak through his shirt. After a few minutes, the crying stops, and again, she pulls away. Wiping her tears, she is finally able to speak.
"That is the most incredible thing that anyone has ever said to me."
"Yeah? Well, I meant it," he says as he leans in for another kiss. He pulls away quickly, remembering that she wasn't feeling well. "You feeling better?"
"Yes. You know, with those healing hands of yours, you should be a doctor."
"Nah, I have no ethics." They both chuckle. She runs her fingers through his hair, admiring his beauty. He resists the urge to pull away, and relishes her touch. She reaches behind his head and pulls him toward her. She plants soft kisses on the corners of his mouth, his cheeks, and his forehead. Finally, she presses her lips to his, lightly touches her tongue to his.
She delicately pulls him on top of her as she lays back. They continue to kiss, until she takes the initiative to slide his shirt from his body. Surprisingly, he allows her, with no resistance. Her hands explore the places that he has never let her touch. His nipples become hard from her feather like touch. His heart beats wildly, at the thought of finally making love to her. She allows her hand to linger over his heart, feeling his heartbeat catch up with her own.
"I love you so much Tea. I don't want to just keep saying it, I want to show you. Can I show you Tea?"
"Yes."
He unfastens her top, throws it across the room. He caresses each breast, paying them equal attention. Feeling her body shiver, he lets his tongue roam around the nipple. Her skin tastes so good, he can't get enough. He takes her into his mouth, and sucks until they are slightly red. Her moans get him more excited, as he returns his lips to hers.
She traces along his collarbone, down to his chiseled pecs. She rubs his back, pulling him closer to her. The drawstrings on his pants are already untied, so she pulls them down revealing his black Calvin's. My god, she thinks as she looks at his erection, and feeling it grind against her pelvis.
He slides his right hand insider her silk panties, enjoying her moistness on his fingertips. "You feel so good," he whispers in her ear. The silk provides too much of a barrier, so, being creative, he runs his tongue along her body until he reaches her panties. Looking up at her, seeking her approval which he gets with just a look, he takes the fabric into his mouth, and slides them off with his teeth and flings them across the room.
Her toes curl with not only the anticipation of her lover coming inside her, but also the ecstasy of being taken to another level with the love of her life. The black Calvin's bulge at the front, his manhood nearly bursting at the seams. Sitting up, she reaches for his waistband and slides them past his tight butt, past his muscular legs, dropping them to the ground.
There they are, with no tangible barriers, only air. Both nervous, but needing the same things, they let go of their inhibitions. Her hands rub the underside of his penis, sending shivers down his spine.
"Todd, I love you so much. I want you. I want to feel you inside me," she says as she pulls him in for another kiss. At her urging, he finally slides himself into her, savoring her warmth. Unlike most couples who make love for the first time, they do not have to search for their rhythm, it comes automatically, like they were always meant to go together.
Several Hours Later
The Bedroom
Tea lay asleep on Todd's chest, his arms wrapped protectively around her. The sun is peaking over the horizon, dimly lighting the room. The boat is almost motionless, as they had anchored sometime during the night.
Tea is the first to awake, looking over at her sleeping lover. A satisfied grin crosses her face as she remembers the events of the night before. The floor is somewhat cold as her feet hit the floor. Clothes are carpeting the floor, as she searches for his shirt. His scent is imbedded in the fabric, she inhales it, then puts it on. Searching for the galley, she wanders to the upper deck where they had dinner the night before.
Everything has been cleared away, all that remains is the table and the radio. She searches for a good radio station, and stops when she comes across a station that plays salsa.
Todd wakes up to an empty bed, looking around for Tea. He softly calls her name, but gets no response. He looks around the room for his shirt, but knows immediately where it is.
She doesn't hear him coming, only the music. She dances with an invisible partner, gracefully moving around the deck. Todd wraps his arms around her waist, and turns her toward him. She starts to speak, but is silenced by a kiss. Taking to opportunity to show off his new dance moves, they glide across the dance floor; perfect partners.
The music fades and gives way to nature's melody. Tea sits at the table, followed by Todd.
"I didn't know you had it in you Manning."
"What?"
"Rhythm."
"You'd be surprised at the things I have in me," his eyebrows raise in a mischievous arch.
"Nothing surprises me about you, especially after last night," she responds seductively as she runs her tongue across her lips.
Feeling a bit flustered, he hops up and walks away.
"Where are you going?" Tea asks.
"Uh, I thought you might want something to eat, or some coffee or whatever."
"Sit down, relax, and I'll fix breakfast." For once, he follows her directions with protesting.
Several minutes later, the quiet is broken with sounds of porcelain clashing against a tray.
"This is heavier than I thought," Tea says to no one in particular. Todd witnesses her struggle, and quickly takes the tray from her. "Thanks."
"I'm starving, what'd you fix?"
"Just some fruit and coffee, nothing special."
He observes her closely as she takes a sip of her coffee. The way her sensual lips wrap around the cup and grip the side. The way her free hand moved around the cup. The shirt she wore was buttoned just above her breasts, leaving her cleavage exposed.
She watches him too, as his eyes make love to her, beckoning her to come to him. Purposely, she glides her fingers around her chest, knowing the effect she is having on him.
A chunk of pineapple rests on top of the fruit pile, begging to be eaten. Todd reaches for it, and holds dangles it in front of Tea's mouth. She opens her mouth to receive it, but he yanks it out of her reach. He does the same thing a couple more times, before letting her taste the sweet yellow fruit. Juice drips from her mouth, but she catches it with her finger, and licks off. She teases him with a strawberry, which he holds in his teeth. No words are necessary; she leans forward and takes half of the berry from his mouth.
"Hey, what'd I tell you about wearing my clothes?" He asks with a mouth full of food.
"You don't want me wearing your clothes, fine, I'll just take it off," unbuttoning his shirt. He is mesmerized as the sea of maroon parts to reveal the smooth creamy skin. She sits on his lap and kisses him passionately. He eagerly responds, wanting to make love to her again.
"You know, anybody can see us," says Todd between kisses.
"Yeah, so."
"So, I don't want some pervert looking at you through his binoculars. Let's go downstairs," Todd suggests, but not making a move to go to the bedroom. She lays on the shirt that she just took off, daring for him to join her.
"Damn, Tea, what are you doing to me?" Todd asks as he joins her on the deck.
"I'm just loving you, that's all," she replies.
