He closed his eyes and his lips trembled as she imitated his gesture - as she brushed her lips against his. He could feel his heart pounding as he felt her hands on his arms - his hands on her waist. He felt the lightest touch on his cheek - his scared cheek - her tender lips…
“Todd, oh Todd…” she whispered, “I need you…”
He let out a breath between her kisses and pulled her into a more passionate, tender kiss. Their lingering tears intermingled and he sat there kissing her - enjoying each kiss until slowly, they both paused to catch their breaths. He touched her forehead with hers and nuzzled her cheek with his nose.
“I need you Téa…” he whispered. His eyes found hers. She gave her assent. His arms pulled her into another passionate, desire filled embrace.
“You’re trembling Delgado…” he whispered.
“So are you…” she replied.
Again, he found her eyes as he put his hands on the top button of her shirt. Their gaze long, intent, and ardent.
“Wait,” said Todd pausing.
“What?” she whispered. She could feel the satin sheets underneath her.
Todd reached over and grabbed a rose and held it up in front of her, “This rose is a symbol of my love for you, Téa.”
She put her hand over his that held the rose, “Our love will burn as red as this rose does - forever.”
They paused and Todd began unbuttoning her shirt while they held the rose. He managed to slide her shirt off and unsnapped the front snap of her bra. She sat in front of him, not ashamed. He ran the rose down between her breasts - over her tummy, resting it and their hands in his lap, as they passionately kissed.
As they parted, they continued to hold the rose. Téa took her free hand and unbuttoned Todd’s shirt, sliding it off his shoulders, revealing his perfectly groomed chest. She raised the rose to his neck and traced it down his chest - imitating his gesture.
He pulled her into him - their bare chests touching - sending waves of electricity throughout their bodies. He could feel himself growing hard for her and this time he didn’t fight it - his desire to be intimate with her overpowering him…
They stumbled to stand up next to the bed. Todd’s eyes never left Téa’s as he placed the rose on the satin sheets.
He fell to his knees in front of her and wrapped his arms around her hips, holding her tight. He could feel her finger in his hair. Slowly, he looked up into her eyes - finding her assent. He undid her pant’s buttons and slid them off. He marveled at the sight of her. He stood up and finished undressing himself.
Her eyes marveled at his manhood - so charged - pulsing with life - charged with passion only for her. He blushed as he pulled her into him and they fell on the sheets - so soft underneath them. They eagerly teased each other - exploring each other’s bodies - softly - passionately - tenderly - their tongues aggressively exploring each other’s mouth - their hair blended together. Her hand caressed his firm chest while his tenderly squeezed her breasts.
She felt his hands go lower and she moaned as he explored her delicate inner thigh.
Her moaning was setting every nerve ending inside of him on fire and all he could think about was making it real - making it real for both of them…
He rolled over, on top of her - his lips brushing hers - his fingers entwined in hers…
“Is it o.k. between us, Téa? Is the time right?” he asked trying so hard to hold back.
“It’s right Todd…” she confirmed.
“Oh, I love you, Téa…” he whispered as he entered her - ending her self imposed celibacy for him.
“I love you Todd…” she whispered.
He closed his eyes letting the words sink in - drowning in her presence - they moved in synch - lost in each other’s eyes - their moans grew more intense - intermingling until both released inside each other. He collapsed on her - drained - physically and emotionally. They crawled under the sheets and snuggled each other tight until they fell asleep listening to the beating of each other’s heart.
