All Grown Up (Eden High)

My eyes stayed glued to her lips as I pulled away. In my peripheral vision, I could see the rapid rise and fall of her chest, and we were still so close I felt the warmth of her breath on my cheek. Her eyes, when I lifted mine to them, were wide and dilated, and something twisted in my heart at the trust I saw there.

My fingers trembled slightly when I raised my hand to her soft cheek, but I couldn’t find my voice as I rubbed my thumb along the corner of her lips. Emotions raw and overwhelming took me over and under so that all I could do was fold her into my chest and hold her tightly against me as the plane made its descent from the sky.

“We have to move, baby; they need to get back.” I’m not sure if that was true or not. Come to think of it, I never once gave any thought to where or what the Saunders flight crew went or did after we landed, but I had to tell her something. She was still sitting on my lap, her hand fisted in the back of my shirt where she hugged me.

I guess the reality of what we were doing here had finally set in for her. Not that it was that hard to do; she’s been sitting on my hard dick for the last half an hour or so. I didn’t know I had this much control, but it seems when it comes to her, I can easily find it somewhere. Well, not really I was barely hanging on by a thread, but for her, I’d find it if it kills me.

She finally lifted her head from off my chest where it had been pressed against my heart to look at me. She just nodded her head once with conviction as if answering some inner monologue with herself. “Let’s go.”

“All right then.” I stood her up first before getting to my feet and taking her hand. Our luggage had already been stored in the open back of the island jeep, with the driver standing next to the open backdoor.

“I’ve got her,” I told him as I moved past him to seat her and belt her in. Once I took my seat next to her, I held her hand as we both enjoyed the first touch of the island breeze. It was too dark to see the turquoise beauty of the water, but the sound of waves crashing gently onto the shore could still be heard over the engine while across the horizon; it looked like a blanket of stars had fallen against a black velvet sky.

The moon seemed brighter here as its light danced across the surface of the water, and I felt a sudden rush of excitement mixed with the joy of being here. I’m glad it’s here that she’s going to give herself to me for the first time. The romanticism wasn’t lost on me, and I didn’t feel even a little bit like a sap for feeling this way because the look on her face is priceless.

CASSIE

I was still reeling from his kiss when we made it to the villa. I don’t remember much of what was said between him and the driver or the rest of the staff that had been waiting for us when we got here; it’s as if I’d gone numb to everything else but him. He hadn’t let go of my hand since we got into the jeep to come here, which had made the midnight ride along the beach all the more enjoyable.

Instead of the nervousness I’d expected to feel, I was riding on a high. That changed though once we were alone, but I needn’t have worried, and my mind became filled with visions of all that that kiss was leading to. There was no haste in his movements, though, once everyone else was gone. No sudden influx of movement or octopus hands grabbing at me everywhere.

I don’t know what I expected, maybe for him to pounce as soon as the coast was clear and we were alone? Or maybe I was projecting. It’s easy enough to put it all on him, but I wanted him just as much; I just don’t have the first clue how to go about it even with all that Sian and the others had shared. For a while there, I thought they weren’t going to let me leave with Alex; they seemed so nervous for me.

It was sweet and sisterly, and I’ll never forget them for the care they’d shown me and always have. Part of the reason for my lack of being nervous to the point of passing out is because I know I have them in my corner, and because I’m now a part of something bigger than just one, I’m no longer alone.
