Fortunately, Jeff's home wasn't very far away, or I don't think we would have ever made it. He couldn't seem to keep his eyes away from me and on the road. If he had been pulled over for any of his numerous traffic violations—the list included driving fifteen miles per hour over the posted limit, running multiple stop signs, and nearly sideswiping a row of parked cars—I wouldn't have known whether to hail the officer as my savior or kill him for cockblocking. The sheer terror of that drive at least helped cool my hormones down enough that I could put one foot in front of the other when we finally pulled into the driveway. Jeff opened the car door for me, and held my hand tightly as he escorted me—hurriedly—to the door.
His house was beautiful, masculine and understated, tasteful and unpretentious in muted wood tones, grays, and blues. Not that I really was able to take in much more than a quick impression at the time, given I was actually standing there facing
Jeff Williams
. We were both breathing heavily. I was trembling again.
"Here we are. Home sweet home." He kissed the back of my hand. "Welcome."
"It's awesome," I answered. I wasn't looking at anything but him, and he knew it. But then, I don't think he had taken his eyes off me, either.
"Can I get you anything? A drink, a snack? I could give you a tour of the house, or..."
I stopped his mouth with a kiss. I had committed to this, whatever this was, and I wasn't going to leave any doubt about what I truly wanted. His other hand lightly cupped the back of my neck.
"Well, in that case," he said to my lips, with an amused smile. "The bedroom's this way."
I followed Jeff to the bedroom, heart pounding, and watched hungrily as he crossed to the closet on the far wall. I gasped as he unbuttoned his shirt and slipped it off to reveal a chest just as sculpted and mesmerizing as it had been in the movie I had now watched repeatedly on DVD. The rest of his torso showed the changes of the intervening years: his stomach was still trim, but it no longer boasted washboard abs, and instead of being shaved smooth for the camera, he was covered with a light coating of golden hair. I still thought he was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. The fur and the softness of those few extra pounds just made him seem more real, more masculine, and infinitely more desirable.
He hung the shirt up in the closet, turned to see me still lurking in the doorway, closed the distance between us, and wrapped me in his arms for another hungry kiss. My hands stroked up and down his muscular back, while he ran his own hands up under my shirt and along my sides. I squirmed a little when it started to tickle, and he stilled, his palms resting against my waist. He broke free of my mouth to whisper, "Can I see you?"
I had no voice left, and I'm sure I was blushing fiery red, but I nodded. Gently he peeled my shirt off me, then stepped back to view what he had uncovered. I had seen myself in the mirror plenty of times, and found little to admire, but he seemed to drink me in with his eyes. I'd wanted him badly before, but I think when I saw him look at me like that was the moment I fell in love irrevocably.
"You're so beautiful," he husked. "I can't take my eyes off you. Why do you hide yourself under that baggy shirt and that adorable hair?"
He likes my hair? I'll never cut it again.
"The baggy shirt's just to hide how turned on I am whenever I'm around you," I answered. I wanted to go hide somewhere the moment the words left my mouth, but the look on his face was so endearing—surprised, moved and lustful all at once—I held still to watch him. He walked toward me as if he were stalking his prey, all taut, coiled energy and graceful movement. I think I had time to swallow once, then he was on me, kissing my hair, my neck, my chest. He tweaked a nipple with his teeth and I moaned. He stilled, then attacked the nub ferociously, pushing me back onto the bed as I writhed and gasped beneath him. He had found my weakness, and was gleefully exploiting it, the gorgeous, glorious bastard.
He finally pulled back and propped himself on one elbow, face flushed and triumphant, and grinned at me. "I've been dreaming of doing that for too long."
I lunged, catching him by surprise, rolling him onto his back and pinning him down.
