"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!
In turn, he felt her reciprocating his affections and that warmed his inner soul more than she could possibly imagine. They stood like that, kissing in his office for what seemed like an eternity when she finally pushed away from him, fearing someone coming down the stairs. He looked in her eyes and kissed her one more time for good measure, as he was lost under her spell! At that point he went to work and she went to the gym to work out (always a must with her)!
In due time she put on her swimming suit to go out and enjoy some time in the sun! Now earlier that year he had helped her select the sexiest bikinis he had ever seen and she decided to torture him with them incessantly while she was here. She selected the pink one and in short order she found the most opportune spot by the pool to relax while enjoying a book and her adult beverage in a discrete cup.
Noise was abounding with boys in the pool, distracting her from her book. She was not alone out catching rays by the pool and as she pretended to read her book, she kept reflecting on their kiss and how good it felt to her. She knew she was playing with fire, but wanted more and so she took a selfie and sent it to him with the caption "missing me yet."
