Previously... On a high from a long run, Ryan discovered that an attractive geeky primary school teacher fancied him and flirted before unexpectedly ending back at her flat and discovering a sexy minx beneath the shy surface.

As I watched Alice's lace-covered butt disappear towards the kitchen to grab us each a cold drink, I shook my head in a combination of wonder at how cute she was and amazement at where i found myself right now and headed into the ensuite to splash some water on my face and use the facilities.
This sort of thing just didn't happen to me, I was used to trying way to hard with girls I fancied and either ending up friendzoning myself so far that search parties had to be sent out, or in relationships with girls whose controlling and needy behaviour left me feeling utterly useless and undesirable. It was amazing the difference it had made to hear that she was attracted to me as I was able to just relax and be myself instead of trying too hard.
Leaving the bathroom and becoming a little self-aware of my nakedness, I grabbed my boxers from the floor where they'd been thrown and was in the process of pulling them up when Alice returned through the doorway with a couple of glasses of iced lemonade. Seeing me putting my boxers on she stopped and a genuinely sad look came over her face... "Oh... are you... you're not leaving are you?"
I could instantly tell that despite her sexual confidence not so long ago she was completely normal in that she had insecurities of her own and instantly recognised in her the same paranoia and self doubt I had experienced myself after first dates or first sexual experiences with girls didn't feel attractive enough around.
Pacing over to her, I took both the glasses from her and set them down on a bookcase beside us. Pulling her into me and gently pushing her long hair away from her face I leant in and kissed her. This kiss was unlike any of the other kisses we had shared. No longer frantic and passionate, this was slow and soft, her lips parting ever so slightly against me and feeling so light and warm that I felt a shiver of attraction travel down my body.
Leaning back, I paused for a moment and looked into her eyes and she smiled before looking down slightly, almost embarrassed, "I got insecure didn't I?" she started, "I do this sometimes, just when I like someone... I mean, not like lots of guys... I mean oh shit! I'm sorry I'm crap at this."
I laughed, put my finger to her lips and with confidence high due to her bumbling smiled as I spoke. "Alice, will you let me take you out to dinner tomorrow night?"
