Alex had told Holly about their tradition, but hadn’t gone into specific details.
“Kissing was allowed, but since you were Alex’s first kiss, it’s safe to say they changed it for your circumstances. I mean, you’re eighteen next week. As long as you don’t do anything that has the word ‘sex’ in it, you’re fine."
“So, what have you guys been up to in here?” Asked Ben.
“What do you mean?” Alex asked innocently.
“Dude, your door was locked. Do you expect me to believe you were just sitting on your bed, holding hands? You have more action going on in public.”
Alex just smiled at Ben’s girly outburst.
“What?”
“You are so like Dev.” Alex laughed.
“Yeah ok, so what? Spill” Ben said, brushing of Alex’s comment.
“There’s nothing to spill.” Said Alex.
“Not anymore.” Said Ben waggling his eyebrows.
“Oh my God, man. We didn’t have sex!” Said Alex defensively.
“Yeah, I heard what your Dad said last night.”
“What? Oh God.” Alex closed his eyes and shook his head in embarrassment. Ben had overheard his Dad telling him there was other stuff he could do…
“So things are getting extra hot then?” Ben asked. With a chuckle.
“Hey, shouldn’t I be asking you that question?” Alex turned it round onto Ben.
He didn’t want to share any details at all. He knew Dev would be asking Holly, and he knew girls talked about that stuff, but he knew Holly wouldn’t go into specifics about him.
“What I do with your sister isn’t up for discussion” Ben replied.
“Exactly. And I don’t want to know either.” Said Alex. “Especially since you were still here when I got back from Holly’s”
“Yeah, we fell asleep. I slipped out when you went for a shower. Your parents weren’t even up when I left.” Ben said, as-a-matter-of-fact.
“Hold on…” Alex said when he heard what Ben said. “…My parents weren’t home. Did you mean the shower… in the morning?” Alex asked incredulously.
“Yeah. Wait, didn’t Dev tell you?”
“Uh No!” Alex said. “She told me you’d left when I got in the shower, but she implied it was after I got home.”
“Oops” Ben said with a grin and Alex groaned. “Seriously now, on a scale of one to ten. How frustrated are you?”
“Ben, fuck, man!”
“Aw come on. The girls talk. It’s not like I’m gonna say anything.”
Alex didn’t say anything for a moment. Ben had been there for him when he was losing his mind over Holly. He’d been his best friend for twelve years and when his parents had the ‘discussion’ with him and Dev, he hadn’t breathed a word.
He took a deep breath and blew out.
“Off the scale.” He said quietly.
“So you’re not doing anything? Like, at all? Except for making out.” Said Ben.
Christ he’s nosey!
“You don’t even whip your shirt off for her? Yeah, we all heard her reaction last night.” He laughed.
“I…um…I took my shirt off, yeah.” Alex admitted.
“And?” Ben grinned.
“And what?”
“What else?”
“I only took mine off.” Said Alex.
Holly’s shirt wasn’t technically off, not that he would tell him anyway.
“Really? So you didn’t pay any attention to what your Dad said?” Ben asked, throwing his hands up.
“It’s branded in my brain. I so didn’t want to hear about him and Mom getting jiggy.”
“Dude, that’s not what I meant and you know it. You guys are so hot for each other, and you’re telling me you took your shirt off, made out, and that’s it?”
“Well…“ smiled Alex. “I didn’t say that was it, I’m just not telling.” Alex grinned as Ben’s eyes widened. “Don’t bother asking, because I’m not telling, and, it’s not what you think. I didn’t take any of her clothes off, or more of mine”
“I’m just fucking with you dude!” Ben laughed. “I know you won’t tell. What you do is your business and nobody else’s. Besides, I can always ask Dev…” He said with a satisfied smile.
“Go right ahead” Said Alex, with his own smile.
“Don’t think I didn’t notice you wearing different pants” Ben said quietly and winked.
“Not cool, Ben.” Said Alex and he shot him the finger, making Ben laugh harder.
“Oh my God. Well, you haven’t got much longer to wait now” Ben said, still laughing.
“You know what?” Alex asked, annoyed. “I’m thinking it’s not ok you dating my sister. I think I preferred you grumpy and you just shut the hell up.” Ben laughed again.
Alex knew Ben was just messing with him. He wouldn’t go shouting his mouth off to Ryan and Kyle, or anybody else either. He wouldn’t have told him a damn thing ,otherwise.
“It’s too late, dude. Dev’s mine and will be forever so…get used it. And my cheery self.” He grinned.
“Forever?” Alex smiled.
Ben sighed.
“Yeah man. Dev’s it for me. Always has been. I love her.”
“I know.” Chuckled Alex.
“Look, I’m sorry I pressed you, I was just messing with you. I’m glad things are going well, man. It won’t go any further, you know that.” Ben reassured him.
“Thanks, Ben”
“But, um, try and last until next week though.”
“God, Ben!” Alex said, running hand through his hair in irritation.
“Hey, I’m just saying. I was eighteen months ago. I waited a lifetime compared to you.”
“Oh dude…” Alex said as if in pain. “…You just confirmed what I really really didn’t want to know.”
“Oh yeah. Sorry” chuckled Ben as the girls walked back into the bedroom.
“Should we order pizza?” Asked Dev as she went to sit by Ben.
He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her.
“Sure, babe.”
Alex pulled Holly into his lap, squeezed her tight and kissed her neck before kissing her lips.
The went downstairs onto the hangout room, after ordering their pizza. They decided to watch ‘Bad Grandpa’ by Johnny Knoxville, and Holly couldn’t breathe for laughing. Alex laughed more because of Holly, rather than the movie, which actually was hilarious.
He loved to hear her laugh.
It sounded childlike one minute and then dirty the next.
Holly was cuddled into Alex, his front to her back as they sat side on, and he had his arms around her.
Holly’s arms were crossed over his as they were around her middle.
Alex was so happy he thought his heart would burst right out of his chest, and his face would break from smiling so much.
Alex felt something on his left thigh, which was closest to her.
Holly had lowered a hand from his arms and was stroking his upper thigh with her fingertips. He already had a hard on from being next to her, holding her close, and now he was as hard as rock.
“Babe, what are you doing?” He whispered into her ear, glancing towards Ben and Dev who mirrored their position at the other end of the sofa.
“Um…nothing.” She said, innocently as she bit her lip to stifle a growing smile, her fingers getting closer to his inner thigh. His breathing stopped, after he drew a quick breath. He let it out slow and controlled, swallowed hard and then turned to whisper in her ear.
It was his turn now.
“Eres una chica muy traviesa.”
Holly’s expression changed as Alex spoke to her in Spanish.
Her smile dropped, her lips parted, and her tongue gently licked her bottom lip into her mouth and let it go.
“Alex. Oh my God!” She whispered.
If Dev and Ben weren’t there, he’d have her flat on he back, devouring her lips whilst taking her shirt off and caressing her soft, feminine mounds.
Ma
ybe even taking off her bra…
“Fuck!” He said quietly and blew out, yet another controlled breath. He was solid in his pants. Just a simple touch from Holly had him on edge and his mind racing.
He lifted his hand to cup her face, turning her, to bring his lips to hers. As their lips parted, their tongues mingled together, relishing each other. Alex could happily spend every moment of everyday touching and kissing Holly.
Just being near her felt better.
Like he was whole.
Holly’s hand vanished from his thigh and reappeared to his head, her fingers tangling in his hair. God, he loved it when she did that. It was like she was trying to join them together. Gripping him so their mouths wouldn’t part.
He knew she loved his hair and when she would grip him tighter, it turned him on even more.
She would moan, sexily, as she did and it had him throbbing in his pants.
Alex sucked on Holly’s lower lip before devouring her succulent lips again.
Holly caught his lip and sucked too. Then, she trapped it between her teeth before releasing. Carefully, and gently, darting her tongue out to lick his lip. His hold on her tightened, and he noticed her thighs squeezing together.
She was turned on too.
He dropped his left arm that was around her waist, down slightly to find the hem of her shirt and his fingertips reached under, brushing her bare skin. Alex opened and closed his fingers, making circles on her side. Holly covered Alex’s hand that was caressing her, with her arm. Disguising what he was doing.
Not that he was doing anything bad…yet. He risked a glance to Dev and Ben, and they were just getting up of the sofa.
“Getting drinks. Back in five.” Said Ben quietly, pausing the movie. Ben shot Alex a warning eyebrow lift as he and Dev left the room.
“Oh, thank God!” He whisper shouted and very quickly twisted his arm out from under Holly, and moving so she was lying on her back, her legs automatically opening for him.
Fuck, he loved that.
He took her mouth again, like he was starving. Tasting her mouth like he hadn’t eaten in weeks. He leant up and started to undo her shirt buttons.
Holly gasped, and Alex felt her shaking beneath him. She’d been shaking earlier, in his room, when she was hurting.
He opened two buttons and moved his lips to her neck, planting light kisses down and along her collarbone. He opened the next two, which showed right down to her bra, exposing the swell of her breasts.
Alex continued to trail hot kisses down to her cleavage, Holly’s breath speeding up, until he got to the little bow. He darted out his tongue and lightly tasted between her perfect mounds.
“Alex!” She whispered.
Fuck!
Just his name whispered from her lips turned him on.
He opened the last two buttons and opened her shirt out to look at her.
“Fuuuck meeee!” He whined.
Her perfect body underneath him, her large breasts heaving and begging for his undivided attention. He couldn’t wait until the time came when he could remove all of her clothes.
Not long to go.
He leant his elbows either side of hers he could cup her amazing soft peaks, and he ran his thumbs over her nipples.
“You’re so beautiful.” He said to her. “Perfection.”
He lowered his head to kiss the swells of her breasts that weren’t covered by the fabric, and then began to button up her shirt again as Holly squeaked and his dick throbbed in his pants. He couldn’t stop a low growl in his chest, and he kissed her hard as he fastened her last button.
Holly broke their kiss.
“Oh my God, Alex!” She breathed.
“They’ll be back any minute now.” He ran his thumbs across her cheeks as he cupped her face. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself.” He said with a cheeky grin, slowly lifting off of her.
He knew Holly could see how turned on he was, but he didn’t care.
They sat back in their original positions, just as Dev and Ben walked back in with drinks, eyeing them as they did.
Alex turned to Holly.
“That was close.” He whispered, and she blushed red.
Dev pressed play and settled down with Ben but smiling widely at Holly.
Holly’s Mum sent her a text, telling her to come home soon. Alex didn’t want her to go, and his mind wandered, thinking of ways that they could stay together.
She could stay here. But, she doesn’t have clothes for school to change into…mmm naked…uh, none for school. We could just leave earlier in the morning. I could stay at her house, but we’d be alone; her parent’s bedroom is downstairs. Hmmm dangerous.
“What are you thinking, babe?” Holly asked, smiling at him. “You look deep in thought”
“I’m thinking of ways to keep you with me.” He smiled. “Ways that wouldn’t upset our parents, or me keeping you awake…” He chuckled as her jaw dropped. “Seriously though, babe, I don’t want you to go home.” All humor left his voice. “I feel like I’m being selfish.” He added with a frown.
He did feel selfish.
He didn’t want Holly to go, he wanted her to stay with him and he wanted to be with her all of the time.
He just felt like something was missing when she wasn’t there.
“You shouldn’t feel selfish; Alex.” She replied. “I don’t want to either. I…” She said as she blew out a breath. “I feel…empty, when I’m not with you, If that makes sense. It’s weird, I can’t explain it.” She said, rubbing her hand over her heart. Alex’s breath caught.
She feels the same!
“It feels like something’s not right, like something’s missing?” He asked. Telling her how it felt for him.
“Yes! Exactly like that!” she exclaimed. “It fixes itself when you’re there.”
They’d been together less than a week, yet this was how strong they felt for each other.
Holly was his whole world already, and she was the other half of his soul. There was no other explanation for it. No other reason for how they instantly connected the second they met.
It was fate.
They pulled up outside Holly’s house, and Alex walked her to the door. He brought his hands to her cheeks as she wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him to her. “You’re my everything, Holly, and I love you” He said quietly.
“I love you too, Alex. You’re my all.” Holly lifted onto her tiptoes to kiss him.
He brought his fingers round to hold her head and deepened their kiss.
Licking and tasting her mouth.
Bodies pressed together, heating up.
“Ahem.” Said a voice from the doorway.
“Dad!” Said Holly as they broke their kiss.
“Glad you brought her back on time, Alex.” Oli said with a wink.
“Didn’t want to.”
“I can tell.” Chuckled Oli.
They said their goodbyes and shared a quick kiss before Holly watched Alex drive away. She immediately felt the empty space in her chest.
“Everything ok baby girl?” Oli asked as he hugged her.
“Yeah. I guess.” She said, walking further inside the house.
“Miss him already?” Holly looked to him in surprise.
“Hey my baby.” Said Kim as she stepped into the hallway to give Holly squeeze.
“Hiya Mum.” Said Holly, accepting the warmth of her Mum’s arms.
“Are you ok love?”
“Yeah I’m fine.”
Holly heard Oli telling her Mum she missed Alex.
“Aww babe, you’ll see him in the morning’ all day at school, and don’t forget that your garden stuff comes tomorrow too. You’ll see him all day again.”
Holly took a deep breath as she thought about what Kim had said.
She was right.
In just a few hours, eight and a half to be precise, she would see him again. The sooner she went to bed, the better. Alex needed to text her when he got home first.
> “I’m going to shower and then bed. Goodnight.” She said, going up to her room.
“Goodnight honey” they replied.
As soon as Holly got to her room, she stripped off her clothes, putting them in her hamper.
When she removed her underwear, she thought about Alex touching her over her clothing. Bringing her to orgasm so quick because she was so turned on. It had felt amazing and her skin tingled, and her nipples tightened in response to her thoughts. She walked into her bathroom and ran the shower.
Her phone beeped just as she stepped in.
Drying her hands, she picked her phone up off the counter.
A: Hey baby. I’m home. I miss you :(
H: I miss you too. I’m lonely :(
A: Not for long, baby. I’m coming to get you in the morning. 1st thing. Ben’s driving Dev to school.
H: So I have you to myself for a while? Before school?
A: If that’s what you want.
H: Yes; of course! :D
A: Great! Because I would’ve knocked down the door to get to you ,otherwise. ;) What are you doing now?
H: I’m in the shower. ;P
A: Grrr. ;)
H: Oh my goodness! XD I stepped in a second before you texted.
A: Ok, now I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep.
H: Why?
A: I’ve seen some of what’s under your clothes and I’m having a hard time not thinking about it. In the shower.
H: Maybe so but what you did see, Alexandro, was also somewhat covered.
A: Yes, Miss. Edwards, that is true. But not for much longer ;P
H: So it would seem XD
Holly chuckled to herself. She thought about what Alex had said about thinking about her in the shower, and she thought she’d give him something to think about.
She stepped out of the shower and stood in front of the mirror, turning her back to it. She angled her phone so she could ale a photograph. She checked the picture. Her bare back, soaking wet, visible all the way down to the curve of her lower back, just above her bum. She hit ‘send’.
