“Seen any student out of the classroom?”
“I have only met with them in my office, and nothing has ever happened with a student. You’re…different.” I looked her over as she turned her head to meet my eyes.
“Why?”
“I don’t know. You’re different from the woman I’ve spent time with in the past as well. Though I haven’t been in anything serious with anybody with all of my schooling and then working.” I turned the bottle in my hand and gazed past it into the fire. “Are you dating anybody?”
“I wouldn’t be here if I were,” she said in surprise as I looked at her. “No, I’m not dating anybody. I am just focused on getting through school right now, and high school was the same way. I had to work hard then since my parents didn’t have a lot of money. It was a bit of a disappointment just getting a partial scholarship to all of us.” I saw the sadness flash over her face before she smiled and shrugged. “It’s worked out fine, though. I am managing.”
“You’re doing great,” I told her as my hand slipped behind her to play with her hair. “Everyone struggles through college. I did, too.”
“You seem to be doing well now,” she said as she looked around the room again.
“Teaching is fine. I bought this with some money that my mom left for me since my sister Marie lives in her house. I don’t have a glamorous life at all, Elena but I’m happy. This is what I want to do.” She turned to stare at me, and I twirled a strand of hair in my hand. Her eyes locked with mine and I felt the heat between us fill the room. “I want you, Elena.” She took a large, slow swallow of the wine before leaning forward and setting it on the table as I watched. Her tongue darted out to lick her lips as my hand slipped gently around her neck to pull her against me as she gasped. “Tell me when it gets to be too much.” I pulled her closer, tilting my head as I brushed my lips against hers, feeling the burn from the contact. “Fuck me,” I murmured as I pressed my mouth gently to hers again, not wanting to frighten her. I didn’t know this girl’s experience, and I had to fight not to push her down and take her right here and now.
“Liam,” Elena whimpered as she kissed me harder, initiating more as I deepened the kiss with a gentle teasing of my tongue against her lower lip. Her lips opened, and I slipped my tongue inside as she moaned softly, locked in my embrace as her hand slid around my waist. My mind screamed at me to stop this, but she felt too good; too warm against me as our tongues danced together. I felt her breathing through her nose and when we took brief breaks, but we kissed for what seemed like hours before I moved to h
er jaw. “Oh, God,” she said, guilt filling the room as I kissed gently, slipping a hand into her hair. “I…”
“What, Elena?” I pushed her to answer before moving down to the soft skin of her neck. There was a sweet scent to her, something fruity that I memorized at the moment.
“I want this. I want you,” the words came out of Elena’s mouth rapidly before she froze. “I’m not supposed to be here. I’m not meant to be involved with you.”
“We both know that, but it’s too fucking intense, Elena. I want you too much.” I kissed her again and pulled her body over mine, one hand gripping her hip while the other remained tangled in her hair. I was hard as a fucking rock and felt her press against me as she let out a cry. We kissed as she moved against me, my hand guiding her as I lifted my hips slowly. Elena’s tongue was busily moving with mine as she rocked, moans and whimpers deep in her throat as I sensed that she was close to a release. “Do you want to come?” I asked against her lips as she nodded and gripped me harder, kissing me again.
She shook and dropped her face into my neck, letting out long cries as her orgasm washed over her. I slipped both hands down to cup her ass, moving slowly against her to prolong the feeling and see if I could find my own climax. I was so damn turned on right now, and all I could think about was stripping her bare and fucking her on my couch.
She wasn’t one of the bar whores. This was Elena; a beautiful, sweet, scared girl that was making her way into my heart as I bit my lip and shot onto my briefs before slowing down and holding her against me.
“That was…so much. I’ve never felt like that before,” she murmured as I stroked her hair softly.
“Are you a virgin?” I asked her, breathlessly waiting for her answer. I was already pushing the boundaries just being here with her, and taking her virginity was too much…but so hot as well.
“No. There was a guy in freshman year that I dated for a few months, but it was nothing like that.” Her voice was shaking as I pressed my lips to her hair, feeling her shake in my arms. “Even when we had sex, it wasn’t half of what that was. What’s so different?”
“Attraction,” I replied, unsure of what else there was, though there had to be more. “It isn’t that easy to obtain for everyone.”
“Has it felt like that for you before?” Elena asked as I thought for a moment. I was considerably older than she was and had some good times, but no. They had never been like Elena, and I hadn’t even slept with her yet.
“No. Never, baby. You’re different for me.”
Elena
I didn’t think that my heart was ever going to stop racing as I stayed in Liam’s lap, feeling his warm embrace. When I was finally calm, I moved beside him but remained curled against him as I drank some of my wine. I needed it to sort through my jumped thoughts.
There was a hint of attraction with my ex-boyfriend. Sex was pleasant with him at best, but just the feeling of what just happened with so little contact was overwhelming to me. It made me wonder what it would be like to have Liam touch me, kiss me in places that he’d never seen. I lifted my gaze to him and found his eyes locked on my face, moving to kiss him tenderly. “Did you…you know?”
“Fuck, yes. You felt too good on top of me,” he replied as he cupped my cheek with his hand.
“Can we do more?” I asked in a whisper as his eyes searched mine. “I don’t know how far I want to go, but…”
“Want to go to my bedroom?” Liam asked as I smiled and nodded gently. He kissed me again, soft, and sweet before rising and extending his hand to me. We took our drinks as Liam led me upstairs into a large bedroom that was lit by warm amber lights. Liam smiled at me as he lit some candles and invited me to join him on the bed. I sipped my wine and moved in front of him as he reached out a hand to stroke my cheek gently. “You’re so beautiful, Elena.”
“Do you say that to all of the girls to get them into your bed?” I asked him, trying to sound flirty but likely failing miserably. I was sure that I sounded insecure instead.
“To be honest, there haven’t been any women since school started.” I stared at him incredulously. “It isn’t that I don’t get offers, both on and off campus. I do, but I just haven’t been interested in anybody…apart from you. I was trying to fight that attraction, Elena. I was. But fuck if I don’t want you.”
“Why me?” I asked as he shook his head slowly before lifting his eyes to look at me.
