Chapter 2

"I want you to be my first."

Those words set off a loud roaring in my ears and, if anything, the erection that had been straining against the material of my running shorts was now threatening to free itself from its restraint.

I stood there, unable to speak, as I felt my heart ready to explode out of my chest. In front of me stood the most beautiful woman I had ever seen -- no, a beautiful goddess, who was 'sky clad', I think they would say in Ancient Greece. Kelly finally looked up into my eyes, and I saw a number of emotions flashing across her face, including trepidation. But I also saw desire, yearning ... and trust. And it was that last emotion that finally brought me back to my senses.

With a certain amount of regret, I pushed Kelly away. "Kelly, listen, I..."

Kelly stopped me cold. There was almost an accusatory edge to her voice. "You're about to say that what we did was a mistake." She stared in my eyes unflinchingly. I had to look down now.

"No, I wasn't going to say that," I hedged. "What I was trying to say--"

"Let's get one thing clear, Steven. It wasn't a mistake. I liked how you made me feel. I've always liked how you made me feel." Shaking her hands in frustration, Kelly continued. "You've always been the one who made me feel safe, made me know that there was always a patch of solid ground that I could stand on. When those four -- well, when they had me pinned down, I knew you were going to rescue me. I knew it!" The look of trust and certainty in Kelly's eyes as she said that overwhelmed me. Kelly seemed to suddenly realize that she was giving me this speech without a stitch of clothing on her body. Looking embarrassed and shy, she added, "And I like the feeling I get when I think about how you will be the only man who ever sees me like this."

That last sentence really unnerved me, and it made me realize that I had to proceed cautiously. Taking a deep breath, I began with, "Kelly, we have feelings for each other. Feelings for friendship. Maybe even more than friendship." I originally said that last sentence to mollify Kelly and try to defuse the situation I had created, but a small part of my brain was arguing that maybe I had been hiding these 'more-than-friendship' feelings for Kelly even from myself. I quickly suppressed that argument. I was in enough trouble as it was.

"But if we do have these feelings, maybe we should go a little slower than we've been going tonight. Don't you think?" I asked hopefully.

Kelly bit her lip as she looked like she wanted to argue further, but then she finally nodded. "Okay, but tonight wasn't a mistake. And I'm not going to change my mind. I still want you to be my first." Kelly looked me straight in the eye as she added, "And only."

I tried to at least appear calm in the face of that determined pronouncement. Trying to nod my head in a noncommittal fashion, I said, "We'll talk tomorrow. But let's find you something to sleep in tonight."

"Can I at least have a good night kiss first, Steven, before I go to sleep?"

At this point, I should have insisted that she put something on before I kissed her, but I found myself bending over to kiss her before I could start thinking.

It was a passionate kiss, but a tender one, and a kiss, at least on Kelly's part, that was full of any promise I could want her to make to me. And even though she was standing on an elevated part of the bathroom floor, I still had to lean over to kiss her.

As the kiss deepened, I found my hands wrapping around Kelly as she pressed her beautiful body against me. My hands slid down her back and cupped her wonderful buttocks. Kelly moaned into my mouth when I did that, and I found my resolve weakening. Reluctantly, I pushed Kelly away. "I think I better go grab a cold shower and try to get some sleep in one of the guest bedrooms."

Kelly nodded, not arguing the point that she would have my room for the night. "Steven, before you go, could you, um ... could you kiss my breasts good night?" Kelly turned a bright red as she admitted, "You have no idea how wonderful that felt."

I didn't stop to consider whether it was a wise move or not to acquiesce to Kelly's request. Instead, I went to my knees and lovingly took as much of Kelly's right breast into my mouth as I could. Kelly clasped her hands behind my head, drawing me to her as tightly as she could. I moved my mouth between her two breasts, eliciting louder moans as her hips continuously thrust toward me.

I leaned back for a moment, just to catch my breath and looked up into Kelly's eyes. "Damn you're beautiful."

Kelly blushed and then looked down at her breasts, damp from where my mouth had been worshipping them, with her nipples long and hard. "You really like them?" she asked, a teasing lilt in her voice.
