Sweet Nothings: A Bethany Beach Romance
Page 23
“You did a fine job, Mr. Woods. It’s beautiful,” she said as she looked at the ring.
“Not nearly as beautiful as you, future Mrs. Woods,” I told her.
I stood up and then held out my hand to help her up and then led her off to the bedroom. Alice was already sound asleep in the comfy bed we had purchased for her as a Christmas gift. We stood next to the bed and kissed and then I heard Kelly gasp.
“What?” I asked her.
“I think it’s snowing out,” she said to me.
Kelly took me by the hand and opened the door leading out to the deck. We stood outside, just as we had those four months ago when she first came into my life and my home. The snow fell lightly and gently and looked amazing as we gazed out to the beach and the water.
“I don’t think this day can get more perfect,” I said to Kelly, with my arm around her.
“I think it can,” she said slyly, as she backed away from me, going into the bedroom as she slowly undid the buttons on her dress.
I closed the door behind me and turned the lights in the room off before joining Kelly on the bed, leaving the only light coming in from outside so we could still see the snow falling outside.
“You’re right,” I whispered in her ear.

“I never stopped thinking about you Sophie,” he said to me. “Not for one day. I always figured you met someone else at school, someone perfect for you, and you just moved on. That’s why I never came back to Canon. I couldn’t bear the thought of hearing about you being happy with someone else.”
I embraced Travis tightly, holding myself against him. I could feel my eyes welling with tears.
“That’s why I never asked your mother about you,” I said, choking back the tears. “I didn’t want to know that you were doing well, with someone else. The thought broke my heart. There’s never been anyone else, Travis. It’s always been you.”
Travis broke our embrace and kissed me again, even more passionately than the first one. He put his hands around my waist as he kissed me over and over, and I never wanted that to end. We slowly walked each other over to the couch, where we sat down next to each other and kept kissing. I could feel my body getting warmer with each touch and embrace. Every time his lips touched mine I felt like it was taking my breath away. Travis began to kiss my neck, and I could feel the light stubble on his face rubbing against the nape of my neck. I felt myself lowering myself down onto the couch, so I was laying down, with Travis practically on top of me. My body was pressed against his as he kept kissing my lips, cheeks, and neck. I could also tell that he was clearly aroused himself at this point.
“Travis,” I whispered breathlessly as he kissed me again, “let’s.. let’s go upstairs.”

Kristin spread out one of the blankets, colored to match the tablecloth, on the grass in the clearing, and sat down on it. I walked over next to her and sat down with her and looked into her eyes. She looked at me and placed her left hand on my cheek, cradling it, and then leaned in to kiss me. I kissed her back, deeper than I had before. There was more emotion and feeling behind this kiss, and I felt her move her body close to mine.
I wanted to take cues from her, not moving too fast, but at a pace she was comfortable with. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her more passionately. I moved my lips from hers and slowly kissed her cheek, sliding my lips down gently to the nape of her neck. As I kissed her, I could feel Kristin shrug out of denim jacket, leaving her neck and shoulders bare to me. I continued to kiss my way down her neck to her right shoulder, planting small kisses along the way, as she held my head there in her hands.
I could feel that her breathing was starting to quicken a bit and the strap of her tank top had slid off her right shoulder as I was kissing her. Kristen moved from me slightly, just enough so that she could lift her cotton tank top slowly over her head. She came close to me again, and I slowly guided her down onto the blanket, kissing down her neck until I reached the top of her breasts. I traced the outline of the tops of her breasts with my index finger, lightly moving my finger back and forth over her as I resumed kissing her. I could see her breathing quicken each time my finger went over her until I slipped my finger down and found the small clasp in the front of her white lacy bra. I deftly undid the clasp with my forefinger and thumb and gently pushed the cups of the bra to the sides of her body.

Sarah sat back up next to me and brought her lips to mine. What started out as a soft kiss quickly turned to a more passionate one, and I could feel her mouth open slightly against mine. We held our kiss together, and I could feel my hands instinctually start to roam up and down her back. Somewhere in the back of mind, I knew it had been a long time since I had kissed or felt anyone like this, and I may have felt a little more tentative, and perhaps even a little scared about where things may go.
Even with this feeling deep in me though, I found myself wanting Sarah more and more. As we kept kissing, I could feel her hands roaming on me as well, over my shoulders, across my neck, and eventually down across my chest. It was as if neither of our hands knew exactly where else to go at this point as we waited for one of us to make the next move.
My brain and body finally started to coordinate things as we stopped our last kiss. I could see a familiar look in Sarah’s eyes, one of hope and passion, one that I had only ever seen in one other woman in my life, until now. I took Sarah’s hand and helped her up from the couch and led her down the hall to my bedroom.
My bedroom was hardly what I would call ready to entertain any guests, but at this point, I didn’t think either of us really cared that much. Sarah and I walked over to the bed and sat down next to each other and resumed our kissing. Within moments our actions were getting more heated and eager. I found my hands moving from her back slowly around her waist and then moving up, gently cupping her breasts in my hands as we kissed. Our kissing stifled a light moan and sigh from Sarah as I touched her. Before long, my hands were at the hem of her shirt, lifting it up and over her head. Sarah quickly did the same to me so she could guide her hands over my bare chest.
I could feel myself leaning my body to Sarah’s, getting closer to her as my arousal heightened. I moved closer to her, guiding her body back onto the bed, so we were lying next to each other. Our hands continued to explore, with my hands gliding over the front of her bra to the back clasp so that they could undo the hooks. Once undone, I began kissing Sarah’s left shoulder, slowly pulling the strap of the bra down over her shoulder until I could easily free it from her arm. I did the same with her right shoulder, starting by kissing her lightly on the nape of her neck and working down. I could feel her breathing becoming more rapid, her skin getting hotter before I was finished kissing and taking her bra off completely.
