“Well, don’t plan on getting a lot of sleep tonight, either.”
“I’d better not.” I smiled at her.
She hurried me to the bed and pulled me onto it. She had me pinned there before I knew it. Her mouth took mine again.
Oh, my God, I thought as the temperature in the room rose. Yes, this was what I wanted; had wanted for a very long time. I felt her hands caressing my body, but this wouldn’t do.
I took her arms and rolled her onto her back. The wonder in her eyes was priceless.
“We’ve got to get rid of these clothes first,” I said. We rushed to get each other’s clothes off. We were maniacs. We both wanted to be the first, the top, the aggressor. Neither of us wanted to wait.
She’d been right. Her single-sized bed would have been too small. In fact, my double bed wouldn’t have worked, either. It’s a good thing we had gotten a room with a king.
We wrapped our arms around each other and melted into a deep, passionate kiss.
No, there would not be a lot of sleep for either of us this weekend.
