As I change for bed, I try to relax since my nerves are causing my anxiety to go haywire. It doesn't seem to work, though. I turned the light off and lay down trying to quiet my mind. I'm not sure how long I lay there before I heard a tapping on my window. I was a little startled, to say the least, and I held my breath hoping I didn't actually hear it, but it happened again. I quietly stand and make my way to my window, and look outside and I can't believe what I'm seeing.
Squatting outside my window is Michael. It looked like he had a pained expression on his face. I pulled the curtain back and opened the window. Though he's tall and gotten more muscular, he effortlessly climbs through the window and comes to stand in front of me.
"Hi," I said as I wrapped my arms around myself.
"Hey," he said as he slipped his hands into his pant pockets.
"I wasn't sure if I was going to see you before Anna and I left. I know she would be excited to see you. She is downstairs. You look different wearing that cut." I said as he looked at the floor.
"I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye. I tried to stay away but knowing that you're leaving tomorrow kind of made me rethink something's. I know Anna wants to say goodbye, and I might do that in the morning, but I wanted to see you first. Plus, I've been busy dealing with club business.," he said as he looked up at me.
He shrugs out of his cut and lays it on the window seat. As he turns back around toward me, there's something in his eyes I can't quite put my finger on. Something is different about him and I'm not sure what it is, but my heart starts racing and everything kind of slows down to just me and him.
"I've missed you," I said, barely above a whisper.
He tilts his head to one side and just looks at me. It's as if he's trying to figure something out. He takes his right hand and cups my face as his left hand settles on my lower back. I lean into his touch, and my eyes never leave his. I place my hands on the back of his neck and lean toward him. I don't need to wait long before he closes the distance between us and I feel his lips on mine.
It's a slow and tender kiss that morphs into something carnal, almost animalistic. His left hand pulls me closer to him as his right hand moves to the nape of my neck. I feel his left hand move my shirt and there's that tingling feeling again. I want to be skin to skin with him. I grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it up and off him. I can't help but admire the ink on his left peck. Of course, it's the image of a reaper. I trace the lines with my finger and I hear him hold his breath.
His eyes change from an emerald green to a dark green, and they're somewhat predatory. I take a step back and reach for the hem of my own shirt but he stops me.
"I thought..." I started to say and he cut me off.
"You thought right, but I want to be the one to do it." He says as he takes a step toward me.
His words caused my breath to hitch and my heart to beat faster. This is it what I've been waiting for.
He reaches down and slowly begins to pull my shirt up, while never breaking eye contact, until I need to raise my arms. I lose my sight for a moment and when I can see him again, his eyes are trailing down my body with lust and something else. Slowly, he reaches for my pajama bottoms and gently pulls them down along with my underwear. I'm completely naked in front of him but I can't help the way he makes me feel. I know I'm in love with him, and I'm not sure if I can truly leave him here.
The next thing I know, he's kissing me again with a passion that I've only dreamed about. His hands roam my back and it feels as if we are trying to become one being. After a few minutes of this, I felt him walk me backwards toward the bed. When my legs make contact, he gently pushes me back onto the bed and just looks at me.
"Do you know how beautiful you are? I can't believe you're all mine." His voice turns from husky to raspy.
"Oh, I know I'm yours and I hope you know you're mine", I said with a smirk.
His eyes turn predatory again, though I've never seen him with that look before, it's a little intimidating but extremely sexy. The next thing I know is he's on his knees between my legs. I rose up onto my elbows and looked down at him. He gives me a wink as he runs his hands up my thighs and my head falls back as he trails his fingers over me.
