"FUCK" he thought to himself. He needed her! He wanted her! He simply had to have her! Desire for her burned through him every waking hour. He found reasons to reach out to hear her and just the sound of her voice calmed his inner monster.
He longed to hear from her, and he found himself checking his damn phone regularly throughout the day in hopes that she might have reached out!
He knew his place in all of this, but that did not stop his cravings for her. She had become so much to him and while he thought she might understand a little of what he felt for her, he knew that she was keeping him at a distance as theirs was a forbidden love.
So, each day continued like the last, with her being the first person he talked to in the morning and the last person he thought of in the evening. Their daily bantering becoming easier with each passing day, to the point where they both felt comfortable sharing anything and everything. Without question he wanted her to be happy and knew that what she needed he could not provide, but he also knew that they had something worth fighting for and he was in it for the long haul.
Winter finally abated and the spring was welcomed by all. The opening of his pool occurred, and another summer quickly fell upon them. He regularly invited her to come and visit him and she regularly said she would, but plans never worked out. And then they did. She needed to be in Seattle on Wednesday for her job and decided to visit and spend the rest of the week sitting out by the pool, reading her book, soaking up rays and spending some time in the cool water!
She arrived and opted to take the basement bedroom, partly due to the seclusion of it and partly due to the fact that he would be working from his home office down there on Thursday and Friday. She arrived late on Wednesday evening and they had a great time catching up and getting reacquainted, but with everyone around the opportunity he was looking for to put his arms around her never transpired. She was exhausted that night and although he sent her a text to see if she was awake, sleep had overcome her.
Thursday morning arrived and he was working from home, but trying to be quite as he assumed she was still sleeping. As she was not, she peeked into his room to say good morning and he stood to put his arms around her and pull her close to him for the first time in months. She felt so amazing and she pressed herself into him. He cherished that moment and it felt like he was being ripped into two when she broke away from his hug, still leaving her arms around him, but looking into his eyes. He could wait no longer and leaned in to taste her lips. She felt his lips softly touch hers, parting slightly so as to encourage her to open to him, which she willingly did. His kiss was electric and she could feel passion, desire and a deep-seated love for her in that kiss!
