It's All Relative(122)

Grunting, Kai stood with her. No, he was going to do something that he had been wanting to do for a while now. He was going to take his time. Kai resumed their trek to the bedroom, only now Jessie was the one walking backwards. Jessie had a lot less trouble traversing her home blind, and didn’t bump into anything. As the shuffled along, Kai’s hands traveled down her neck, to her chest, to her jeans. He started unfastening them, and with Jessie’s help, halfway down the hall they were halfway down her hips. Jessie shimmied them all the way off while simultaneously kicking off her shoes. By the time they were at her bedroom, she was free of the denim, and all she was wearing…was black lace.

Kai stopped and stared at the beautiful woman before him once they were both inside the door. Smiling, he reached behind himself and pulled the door shut. With just their breaths filling up the space in the quiet room, they reunited.

Kai’s wandering fingers slid over the bare areas of her body, highlighted in that wondrous lace. Jessie’s hands slipped under his shirts, lifting them up. Kai helped her stretch the multiple pieces of fabric over his head. Jessie’s breath quickened as he was slowly exposed. Lips parted, she lightly trailed her fingers up his skin. Every time her fingernail grazed him, it sent electricity shooting through him. Her lips lowered to his chest and Kai closed his eyes as her tongue swirled around his nipple. His body twitched as the throbbing ache grew painful. He needed her. So much.

Breathing heavier, Kai shucked off his shoes, then worked on his pants. He was having trouble concentrating, especially when Jessie playfully nipped his skin. He fumbled with his pants as he hissed in a breath, and eventually Jessie helped him. Always helping him.

She helped him push down his slacks and Kai kicked them away. Jessie automatically slipped her fingers into his boxer-briefs and gently pulled them off too. Sinking to her knees, she lifted each foot in turn, removing the last piece of Kai’s clothing. Still on her knees, she gazed up at his face. Kai’s breath caught at the captivating look in her eye. He’d never had anyone look at him like that before. There was so much love, adoration, and friendship there, that it stirred his soul. But underneath that well of love, there was a passion smoldering in her eyes that ignited his body to a breaking point. He felt on fire. He needed her.

Bending down to her, he gently pulled her back up his body. Her fingers ran up his chest as their lips melded together. Kai made short work of the scant scraps of clothing still left on her, and once her body was as bare as his was, he led her to the bed.

Jessie sat down on the edge, then seductively crawled into the middle of the mattress and waited for him. Kai smiled down at her, loving how free and comfortable they were with each other. There was nothing that he couldn’t imagine telling her, nothing he couldn’t imagine doing with her. And now that he was allowed to think the thoughts that he’d held back for so long, he found there were quite a few things he wanted to do with her.

But there would be time for that. If it were up to him, there would be a lifetime of exploring, a lifetime of learning different ways to touch each other. They had endless nights to be together now. Or he hoped so, anyway.

Running his hands up her thighs, making her squirm, he kissed her knee. “I love your legs.” He smiled wider. “And I really love it when you wear those boots that go all the way up them.”

Laughing, she tilted her head as she smiled down at him. Kai ran his fingers along the outside of her hips. Pausing to place a kiss along the edge of her hip-bone, he muttered, “I love how you sway your hips when you walk, when you’re feeling sexy.” Peeking up at her, he gave her a crooked grin. “You should always feel sexy.”

Noting that her breath was faster, he ran his hands over the curves of her hips, and his mouth over the softness of her belly. His body was screaming at him to plunge inside her already, but he wasn’t listening to that part of himself yet. He’d wanted her for too long…he wanted this to last. He ran his tongue up her stomach to her belly button, dipping inside for a quick second. “I love when your shirt lifts just enough for me to see this. I love seeing your skin, it drives me crazy.”

Jessie shifted her body under him. Reaching down, she grabbed his shoulders and tried to pull him up to her. “Oh God, Kai, you’re driving me crazy.”

Chuckling, Kai resisted her impatience. He would have to be patient enough for the both of them…for now. Keeping his lower body well away from her, he grazed his fingers over her ribs. She sucked in a breath, laughing a little when he tickled her. Smiling, Kai kissed one rib and then another, working his way up her chest. Her breath grew even heavier the farther up he traveled, and her fingers abandoned his shoulder to tighten in his hair. Kai exhaled as a chill washed through him.

“I love the heart hiding under here,” he said, kissing the underside of her breast. “I love how you care about people.” He ran his tongue between her full breasts. “I love the way you care about me.” He kissed above her breast, over the wonderful heart he loved and adored, and wanted near him, always.

Jessie squirmed, moaning as he teased her. Raising her hips to find him, she pulled down on his hair, trying to alter the position of his mouth. “Kai…please…”

Grinning, he closed his mouth over her nipple. Tilting his head, he watched as she gasped and dropped her head back. Letting out an erotic groan that made him quiver, her hands traveled to his hips. Tugging, she tried in vain to get him to connect with her; his knee propped between her legs easily kept him just out of reach though.
