Kevin had this way of always touching me when I was talking. Usually he’d have his hand on my knee, sometimes my thigh, but even if we were separated by a table, he’d reach across and touch my fingers with his, letting me know that he was there and he was listening. Oh and the eye contact, he was wonderful with eye contact. I read something once where the key to a good conversation is stopping long enough to really see what color someone’s eyes are. I could describe every speck of color in his eyes in great detail.

Of course the problem with Kevin being so touchy feely was that it made it damn hard for me to ignore him.  Generally I didn’t want to ignore him; in fact usually I wanted nothing more than to be all about him and all over him as much as possible.  But when everyone finally left my house after the sleepover and I found myself alone with Kevin I started to freak out.  I’d wanted him so bad for what seemed like so long, despite the fact that we’d only known each other a month, that when faced with the fact that I finally had him to myself I didn’t know what to do.

I busied myself with cleaning up random dishes that were left around the living room and feeding Vinnie even though he didn’t need to be fed, I made calls that really didn’t need to be made and I pretty much did everything I could to avoid having to look at Kevin.  I knew that if he caught me with those eyes of his that I wouldn’t be able to turn away.

When I’d ignored him enough and he got sick of watching me move around the house from one useless task to another he reached out with one arm and hooked me around the waist stopping me in my tracks as he pulled me to his chest.  He looked down at me with one of those looks that shot right through me and then he kissed me.  Our lips parted and we were both breathless.  I suddenly felt stupid for having tried to ignore him for so long.  I pressed my forehead to the bend in his neck closing my eyes and wrapped my arms tight around him.  He mirrored me wrapping his arms around me and holding me as close as possible while bending his neck to place kisses on my shoulder. 

I could have stayed wrapped up in Kevin’s arms like that forever.  I would have been perfectly happy with never again writing another book and instead just snuggling with the awesomeness of Kevin for the rest of my life. Of course, Vinnie would have eventually interrupted when he’d run out of food or simply needed his daily belly rub, but my point is that I was damn happy with Kevin holding me.  Damn happy.

“Wanna tell me what’s got you so nervous?” he whispered against my skin.

I smiled against his neck and pulled back enough to look up at him, “You…”

“Me?” he asked and laughed.  “Why me?”

I shook my head, “It’s crazy…”

He pulled me to the couch and sat down tugging me by the hand to sit with him, “Tell me…”

I focused on the dark green rim around his eyes then had to look down at my hands so not to get lost in the pretty that was Kevin’s eyes.  “You ever want something so bad that once you finally get it you don’t know what to do?  Like you’re almost scared because you finally have it and you don’t want to fuck it up…”

He nodded and pushed one of my curls behind my ear, “I guess…”

“Yeah well… you’re that thing that I want.”

He smiled, “You have me.”

“I know…” I sighed.  He laughed at my sigh and I rolled my eyes.  “I’ve wanted you more than I can put into words for the past month… and that’s saying a lot since I’m a writer…”  I laughed at my own joke and he chuckled.  “But Kevin…”  I sighed again.  “I know now that I can have you without worrying that you’re still married or I’m some whore on the side.  You’re sitting right here in front of me and I’m so freaking crazy about you but I’m scared to touch you.  Scared to make the next step.  Scared of totally blowing it.”

“You won’t blow it…” he said gently.  His hands covered mine in my lap and he squeezed them.

“You don’t know that…” I said in a near whisper looking at his hands covering mine.  “I’m not so good at this.  It’s been a long time.”

“It’s been a while for me too, you know?” he said dipping his head to try and make eye contact with me. 

“I’m totally falling for you, Kev…” I said so quietly that I began to wonder if I’d actually said it out loud.  I looked up at him and he smiled again, one of those brilliantly bright smiles that made my heart do jumping jacks. 

“Do you have any idea how far gone over you I am?”  My heart caught in my throat and I shrugged.  “Further gone than I’ve been over anyone… including my ex wife.”  That was big.  It was huge.  I wanted to jump up and down screaming, “He likes me!   He really likes me!” and I also sort of wanted to cry.  This was brand new territory for me and I was at a major loss for words.  “Kellie I came to Florida to hide.  I came down here thinking that I’d hide out at Roland’s for the summer avoiding everyone and everything while having a massive pity party.  I figured I’d get a good tan, do a lot of beach walking, and maybe write some songs.”  I nodded and kept staring into his eyes as he smiled and his eyes twinkled at me, “Then the first day that I was here I met you and my whole plan got blown out of the water.” 

I giggled and smiled, “Yeah… and Vinnie suck his nose up your butt.”

He laughed loudly, “That too…”  He shook his head, “I tried to fight it at first… I really did.  I kept telling myself that I didn’t need to have a crush, I didn’t need to deal with dating or anything like that because my heart had been broken and I was bound and determined to keep it that way.  I was going to wallow in my own self pity and totally take advantage of being the guy whose wife fucked him over.”

The thought of Kevin hiding out all summer being lonely and hurt made my heart ache.  I knew nothing about why he and his wife had split up but I hated the bitch for hurting him.  “But you couldn’t resist a crazy chick with a concussion and a drooling monster dog, could you?  I was oh so sexy in my Snoopy tee shirt and my jeans with the wine stain down the leg…”

“Exactly…”  He put his hand up to cup my cheek and shook his head looking into my eyes, “You say that you’re falling for me?”  I nodded.  “Well I already fell and I’m down on the ground waiting to catch you…”

I looked at him totally astonished and then began to laugh and I smacked him in the shoulder, “Kevin!”

“What?” he asked, totally confused but still smiling.

“People don’t say shit like that.  You can’t say shit like that!”  I kept giggling and shook my head, “I write stuff like that in my books… but you’re not allowed to talk like that.  You’re not allowed to be amazingly sweet and so perfect that I’m afraid of breaking you.”

Kevin laughed, “Dude, I just totally spilled my heart to you and you’re laughing at me.  You are officially the weirdest person I’ve ever dated.”

“You know you love it…” I said with a grin.

“I do…” he said as he leaned toward me to place a kiss on my lips. 

“I’m totally using that line in my next book though…” I said giggling as my lips left his.

He nodded and smirked at me, “Just make sure to mention me in your dedication.”

“Done…” I told him and smiled.  “You know, this whole situation would be so much easier if I were writing it instead of living it.”

He gave me one of those, You are so weird looks and smiled, “Explain…”

“Well if I were writing this I’d be totally in control.  I could tell you how to move and what to say and what to do.  And of course I would be flawless and not say anything stupid or make a fool of myself…” I chuckled.

“So pretend you’re writing this… what happens now?”  He held his hands out on either side of his body and grinned, “Direct me.”

I couldn’t help but laugh, he was so damn adorable.  “Yeah right…”

“I’m serious… come on, tell me what happens.”

I sighed and sat there looking at him while he continued to smile at me.  He really was serious.  “Fine… I’d be able to say something like…” I paused and looked at Kevin waiting for the words to pop into my head.  “’He pulled her close pressing their bodies together and gave her a look that made her insides tremble…’”  I snorted and then blushed as I laughed. 

Kevin stood up and pulled at my hand then just as directed pulled me in close so that the length of my body was pressed to his.  My heart started beating faster then and he chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist, “I’m not sure if I have a look that good though…”

I nodded, “Oh you do…”

He raised an eyebrow, “Really?”

I was practically panting as I looked up to him, “Uh huh…”

He shot me another one of those I know you want me grins, “Cool… What’s next?”

“Uh…” I swallowed, my mouth suddenly dry. I closed my eyes to think and avoid staring at Kevin, there was no way I could form complete sentences while looking at him looking at me like that.  “’His fingers…’” I swallowed hard again and heard Kevin chuckle quietly.  I opened my eyes long enough to shoot him a dirty look, “Be nice…”  I closed my eyes again and tried to get back into my thought. “’His fingers slid ever so gently over her skin giving her goosebumps…’”  I was thankful at that moment that I was wearing a tank top… more skin for him to touch. 

He trailed his fingers down my arms, across my neck, down my back and then cupped my face in his hands.  “Then he kisses you…” he said quietly adding to my direction.  “Because he can’t keep his mouth off of you for long…”  When he pressed his lips to mine I moaned.  He smiled against my mouth and then slid his tongue between my lips seeking out my own tongue.  We kissed for what seemed like forever and then when his kisses moved to my neck I tipped my head back gasping for air.  My hands were at his waist sliding up underneath his tee shirt to find his warm skin.  As much as I loved his new Superman shirt, I wanted to rip it off of him.  I chuckled at the thought while he sucked on my neck.  He paused long enough to smile against my neck and say, “Yes?”

“Just my mind going in very odd places…” I said and slid my hands up his back under the shirt.  I dragged my nails gently over his skin and he shivered just a touch.

He shook his head dragging his goatee back and forth against my neck sending shivers all over my body, “Go with it…”

I smiled and pulled the shirt over his head tossing it onto the couch.  I grinned up at him, “That’s better… love the shirt but it had to go…”

He laughed and tugged on the hem of my tank top, “And this?”  I nodded and couldn’t help but giggle as I raised my arms like a little kid and he slid my shirt off.  I wiggled my eyebrows at him which made him laugh again.  “What’s next?”

“We get buck naked and do the nasty…” I said and then began to laugh so hard that tears began streaming down my face.

Kevin laughed with me and wrapped his warm arms around my body pulling me to him again, “Somehow I think that you’d be a little more detailed if you were writing this…”

“Yeah but typically if I’m writing I’m also not physically experiencing what I’m writing at the same time.  It’s not as easy as I thought it would be.  I could write you one hell of a personalized erotic short story but not while you’re in the room and doing to me what I write.”

“Definitely put that on your to do list…” he said with a smirk.  “I’ve never had personalized erotica written for me.”

“Not to mention by a bestselling author…” I added.

“Of course… Now let’s get back to the task at hand…”

“Oh yes… the nookie.”  I took a deep breath and smiled up at him as he grinned down at me.  “So… um… Yeah… let’s fast forward a little, change the scenery.”  I pulled him by the hand to my bedroom.  I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair and pulled his head down to mine, “We need more kisses and touching and stuff…”

Kevin obliged and while his tongue sent me to another world, his hands were all over me. One hand on my ass while the other slid up to my breasts… one moving up the inside of my thigh while the other traced patterns on the small of my back… one tangled in my hair while the other unbuttoned my shorts, all the while sucking and nipping at my neck. Thank god for a man who can multitask.

When I couldn’t take it anymore I pushed him away, “Okay that was good…” He smiled a smile that nearly made me lose what composure I still had left and reached around my body to undo the hook on my bra and carefully removed it from my body throwing it to the floor. I ran my hands over his chest and felt my knees go weak. Feeling his muscles contract under my touch as I dragged my nails over his stomach prompted a smirk on my face and he laughed.

"You’re so beautiful…" he said quietly as his hands found my skin again and he cupped the weight of my breasts in his large warm hands. His thumbs brushed against my nipples making them stand even more erect and I bit back a moan. 

“I didn’t tell you to do that…” I sighed.  “But it was a good improv…”  I was losing it, truly losing it. I stood there wondering how in the world he had so much control right then, but it was practically killing me and I realized that I was going to have to take charge again but there was no way I was going to be able to do it verbally.  As fun as the whole thing with me “writing” our scene had been, I was done talking.  With the precision of a Broadway Dresser I reached out and dropped his shorts and boxers leaving a gloriously nude Kevin standing in front of me with a mouth watering erection standing proudly between us. His eyes stayed affixed with mine as he slid his fingertips into the waistband of my panties and moved them along my skin. Slowly. "Jesus, Kevin…"

I sighed and he smiled before kissing me deeply again. His hands meanwhile continued teasing my skin and finally slid down into my panties cupping my ass before he pushed them and my shorts down. Breaking the kiss he followed the path of his hands as he moved my clothes down my body in an excruciating pace finally allowing me to step out of them. He kissed his way back up my body causing me to shiver and then walked me backward to the bed.

All of the make out/hand job sessions that we’d shared up to that moment had nothing on what happened as we lay down on the bed. His tongue sought out mine with ease and his hands were immediately on my skin again. Squeezing at my breasts, twisting my nipples, sliding up my legs… his fingertips followed all of the contours and curves of my body. When his mouth moved down my neck and to one of my breasts I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. The man should be awarded for the things he can do with his tongue. Tonguing carefully around a nipple before sucking it into his mouth and using his teeth to tug at it with just the right amount of pressure… then kissing down my body over my stomach licking circles around my belly button slowly as I fisted his hair in my hands… It was glorious torture.

Speaking of torture, I decided that as much as Kevin seemed to be enjoying pleasing me, he needed a little attention from me too. Somewhere I found the strength to push him away onto his back so that I could in turn hover over his body and achieve the same slow tongue torture that he’d shown me. As I nipped at his skin with my teeth his hands continued roaming my body and mine explored his as well. I latched onto his erection with my hand and his hips automatically jerked slightly up off of the bed. I smiled and kissed his neck, "Relax…" Forcing his hips back to the bed he relaxed slightly and I began a slow rhythmic pumping up and down his shaft as I sucked on his neck leaving a love mark of my own.

He gripped the bedding with a fist in an attempt to stay calm, but it wasn’t going very well. His body was writhing under my touch and his breath turning ragged. His eyes squeezed shut as a strangled moan escaped his mouth and the hand that had originally been fisting the bedding moved and joined my hand. Covering my hand with his own he helped me to stroke him and let out another moan, "Kel…" 

I raised my head from kissing his skin and looked into his eyes. Again, his look shot right through me and in a heartbeat he’d flipped me back onto my back and was positioned over me. I reached over to the bedside table and grabbed a condom from the top drawer.  I ripped open the foil package and threw it to the side then rolled the condom down his length slowly.  He shuttered at the touch and I loved knowing that I could make his body react so easily.  He hesitated for a moment and looked down at me and smiled as he leaned in to kiss me again. It was a soft slow kiss that lasted as he pushed his length deep inside of me. There simply are no words to explain the rush of pure ecstasy as he began moving in me. I thought I’d forgotten how to breathe it felt so good.

Our bodies, slick with sweat, moved together pushing us both toward the sweet reward of release, counteracting each other’s movements as if we’d been making love to each other for years. It was like whenever I’d be thinking "Oh if he’d just move to the left a bit…" he would. When I wanted him to move faster, he did without me even speaking the words. I didn’t have to direct him at all, it was pure heaven. Then, just when I thought it couldn’t get any more heavenly we both fell over the edge erupting together in a mind-blowing orgasm.

Once we’d both returned back to a relaxed state wrapped in each other’s limbs I rested my head against Kevin’s chest with my eyes closed. He kissed my forehead and I smiled and kissed his chest. "That was amazing… so how does the chapter end?”

I chuckled, “Oh that’s easy… ’They caught their breath and then did it all over again…’’
