Love You In The Dark

“It’s shampoo. You always liked the smell of my shampoo…”

Jade Fletcher, the girl of my dreams.

Smart, beautiful and stubbornly determined. The girl that made the ground under my feet shake with such force. She was the wild wave in the ocean that swept away my heart, never to be returned. Too bad I was a coward back then and never worked up the balls to tell her.

But I was no longer that shy kid.

“You’ve grown up.” She offered, a shy smile dancing on her full pink lips. I trailed my fingers up and down the underside of her arm. Her body shivered as her shoulders stopped tensing. A sweet, gentle sigh escaped her mouth. “The Maverick I remember wasn’t so…big.”

I chuckled at the sound of her shaky voice as she fidgeted, her right hand mindlessly squeezing my bicep. I felt like a peacock under her attention. I wanted to strut, flex my arms and puff out my chest. I loved that she saw that I wasn’t that geeky kid anymore. Maybe I was finally worthy of her.

“That nerdy little kid is no more. I started weight training during EMT classes.”

“Well, for the record, I liked that nerdy kid. He was always kind and incredibly smart. You know, you were the only one that I felt comfortable around.”

Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. I let what she said sink in. She liked me? She was always really nice to me but she was nice to everyone. That’s why everyone wanted to be around her. She had a way of making everyone feel like they were special.

In high school I was a skinny kid, with thick coke bottle glasses–skinny, completely unsure of myself and everyone around me. I was really quiet back then–still quiet now–but back then I wouldn’t have said boo to a mouse. I thought I’d left that kid in the dust, but here, around her, I could feel him still shuffling his feet, eyes shifty and afraid to linger on hers for too long.

“I’m surprised I stood out to you at all,” I said, my fingers now grazing the tender skin of her neck. She shivered, her eyes closed and then fluttered open slowly.

“No one in my life stood out more than you did,” she said, her body shivering again as the gooseflesh appeared on her skin.

The elevator moved then, falling another floor in a violent crash. I landed against the railing and then crashed to the floor, holding Jade to me, using my body in order to cushion her fall.

When we stopped, the last dim flicker of light extinguished. I couldn’t see anything. All I could do was feel the softness of her skin and her firm, round tits grazing my chest. My arms tightened around her, never wanting her to leave them. Maybe it was the darkness, maybe it was the years of longing for the girl that I never thought I would see again.

My lips lingered just above her creamy soft skin, before I did the last thing I expected and planted a soft kiss on the hollow of her throat. My lips trailed up the line, before covering her mouth fully with my own. The kiss started slowly. I could sense her hesitancy for a moment but it quickly evaporated and her body relaxed into my arms. I wasn’t sure how all my fantasies had come true in that moment. My mind was tricking me that I’d finally received that perfect present. The thing that I’d begged and prayed for my entire life. My dreams, finally coming true.

Every small sound she made fueled me, she tasted like paradise and that was all I’d ever wanted my entire life. For the first time, I knew what I needed and all those years of the shy little boy suddenly faded away. The warmth of her breath made me feel like I was falling farther than the elevator could ever fall.

My tongue swiped her mouth, making her open her lips and invite me in. Her whole body shivered, the feel of her frame causing my cock to harden as my arms wrapped tighter around her. I pulled her in, claiming her mouth like a starved animal, hungry and intense. Her fingers roamed down my torso, until her hands slipped under my shirt. Her soft hands, the flame that set my entire body on fire. I pulled away, my eyes adjusting to the darkness, thanks to a sliver of light from the narrow crack between the elevator doors I was finally able to see her beautiful face again. I sat up, pulling her up on top of me, her legs straddling mine, skirt riding up.

“You’re so fucking beautiful,” I panted as time stopped. We sat there in the silence, glued to one another as if no one else existed. The world completely faded away, the stress of the elevator–work, life, nothing at all. In that moment, in that space, the only thing that was important was her. Jade, the girl that I’d never let go. The girl that consumed every single thing about me.
