Breathe into Me

Oh boy, when he messed with that lip ring it was like instant turn on for me. I’m glad he didn’t listen to what his grandpa Ralph had said and kept it. I was growing fonder about body piercing every day.

We walked the few steps back out of the water and onto the bank. The tall grass rubbed my legs when we reached the bank.

“Ready?” Kane asked as he crossed his arms at the bottom of his shirt, grabbed the hem, and lifted it effortless over his head.

I watched all the muscles in his abdomen twitch and ripple as he tossed the discarded shirt to the side in the tall grass. I raked my eyes slowly up his toned chest and saw that in addition to his tattoo sleeves, he had one that twisted and scrolled across the top of his chest from shoulder to shoulder that read, ‘Honor thy Father and thy Mother.’ His gray eyes reflected in the moonlight, looking as if they were glowing, and I stood in awe of him.

When I finally realized I was staring at him, I quickly glanced away. I guessed it was my turn to lose some clothing. I nervously unbuttoned the sweater I had been wearing and slid it off my arms, tossing it into the pile with his shirt. I then grasped one of the straps to my dress and slid it down my shoulder, doing the same with the other shortly after.

When I looked back at Kane, he was just watching me. His eyes were on my straps, then he slowly brought them up to connect with mine. We stared at each other as I let my dress fall to the tall grass at my feet. I kind of expected Kane’s eyes to immediately drop and begin checking out my body, but they never wavered from the intimate hold they had on my eyes.

I lifted one foot and stepped out of my dress and in the one small step I found myself almost chest to chest with Kane. I could see the quick rise and fall with each breath he took. I noticed then that my breathing was just as fast. We kept up the staring match until Kane had rid himself of his jeans. I kept my eyes locked with his like he had done for me. It was kind of surreal. Here I was standing in the middle of an open field in just my bra and panties, with a guy who was just in his underwear and we had made no attempt to sneak a peek at each other. Not that I didn’t want to, but this moment was too intimate to go there.

I felt Kane’s hand connect with mine and he laced our fingers together. My eyes fluttered shut and my body lit up like a flame from just that tiny bit of contact. If I didn’t get in that water soon, I felt like I was going to combust and burn the whole world down with me. Kane pulled my hand and I opened my eyes as he walked backward to the edge of the pond. He slowly retreated into the water pulling me with him, never taking his eyes off mine.

When we were waist deep into the water he took my other hand in his and interlaced our fingers before pulling our locked hands to his chest.

“I know I said I wouldn’t touch you, Kelsey. That I would give you your space so you would be comfortable … but right now all I can think about is your lips, and your body, and how incredibly beautiful you are.” He let go of one my hands to tuck a small piece of hair behind my ear, then he slowly ran his fingers down the side my neck.

I couldn’t stop the way my head fell back and the sigh that escaped my lips. As good as it felt for him to run his fingers down my neck, it did nothing to compare to the way it felt when he touched his lips there. He had taken me a little by surprise, I hadn’t been expecting him to begin kissing my neck but I didn’t want him to stop. I let my hands fall from his chest and into the water. He slid one had around my slick waist and cradled the back of my head with the other and tilted my body slightly back so he could have better access.

Kane kissed and nibbled and sucked just about every surface of my neck before running his nose up the side to my ear. Once at my ear he gave my lobe a soft kiss. “If you want to stop, please, stop me now,” he breathed into my ear. I didn’t want him to stop, though. Why deny my body what it was screaming that it wanted?

I ran my now-wet hands up his bare chest, slipping easily along his taut skin. I couldn’t help myself when I reached his nipples, lightly running my finger over them, playing with them. I watched him shudder and felt him grip my waist tighter, and it made me give them a little pinch.

Kane responded by pulling me deeper into the cool water to where my feet could no longer touch the ground, so I wrapped my legs around his waist. His arousal was evident as it was pressed against my belly. I thought I would be scared since I had never been this far before, but I wasn’t. Need and desire had possessed my body and all I could think about was more. I wanted so much more.

I found Kane’s lips and began kissing every inch of them before that too was not enough and I urged him to open his mouth to me. It was obvious Kane was letting me take the lead here. He didn’t want to be in control right now for fear of pushing me into something I wasn’t sure of. But what he didn’t know was I had never been surer. How could this be wrong when it felt so right?

After I explored Kane’s mouth to my liking, I pulled back to look at him. How did I end up here? I would never understand it. Things with Kane may not be for forever, but if I was going to have him now, I wanted to make the most of it. I slowly reached behind my back to unlatch my bra.

Kane’s eyes widened. “Kelsey, I promise, I didn’t bring you here for this. I just wanted you to be part of this place with me. Its special to me, you’re special to me. It just made sense. We don’t have to go any farther.”

I placed one of my fingers on his lips, then kissed him. With my lips still pressed against his I whispered, “I want to, Kane. Please.” I pulled back to look into his eyes. I could still see indecision swirling in them but I quickly unlatched my bra anyway. The straps fell down my shoulders getting caught in the crooks of my arms. He looked at the straps and then looked up into my eyes. I nodded, assuring him that this was okay, that I did want this.

He slowly pulled one hand from around my waist and placed it against my cheek. He didn’t say anything to me before he leaned in and softly kissed my lips. When he pulled back he began to run the hand that had been pressed against my cheek down my jaw, then my neck and on down to my chest.

My breathing was shaky. Not from fear, but from anticipation. He hooked his index finger around the small part of my bra that connect the two cups and slowly began pulling it away from my body. I took one last deep breath and held it in. I had never been topless in front of a guy before.

I watched Kane’s face closely. Not even really sure what I was looking for. Disappointment maybe? Disappointment that I would be lacking where I’m sure a few of the other girls he had been with had been in abundance. I didn’t want to feel that way, but I was a girl after all. But when I truly looked into Kane’s eyes, all I saw was desire. The same desire I myself was feeling.
