The haze Alex felt was pleasant. She gradually felt Evan relax, giving in to the leisure of their kiss. Pressing her body closer to his, her legs slid along his sides to cradle him. Her lips parted with growing need, her tongue urging him to satisfy. Evan responded without hesitation, his own moving to meet hers.

She felt his hands slide up the length of her thighs, the sensation sending tingles throughout her body. Now that they'd finally crossed the line they'd both been dancing on, she prayed he wouldn't stop now. Evan was sweet, and impossibly considerate. A complaint that was unusual for most men. That was a part of his charm. But she still wanted more. She felt as if she were almost addicted.

Alex broke their kiss only so that she could shower his neck with little pecks. Hearing a small confirmation of his pleasure, she moved his ear. Tracing her tongue around the edge, she whispered into his ear, the husky sound of her voice surprising even herself. “Evan please...”

Evan drew back slowly, the look in his eyes cloudy. Apprehension curved every line of his face. She felt her stomach tie into a knot, fearing his answer. Her heart pounded in anticipation, she'd completely thrown the ball into his court. They gazed at each other for what seemed like an eternity. To her delight, Evan responded by bringing his mouth back to hers. His hands slipped under her, picking her up off of the counter. Her arms tightened around his neck, refusing to let their lips part.

He wasn't how he'd managed to make it blindly down the hallway. However, within moments he had her sprawled on his bed. Any remaining doubt was quickly overwhelmed by their growing intensity. The labored sound of their breathing filled the room as they tugged each others clothing away. Trailing his mouth down her neck, it eventually came to settle around one of her pert buds. He felt her breath shudder beneath him, and he felt himself get lost into this dream that he willed to last forever.

They savored the feeling of the others hands, gentle caresses in heated passion. There was only a brief pause to their heaven, that allowed Alex enough time to find the protection they need. With the final obstacle overcome, the pleasure they both sought was near. Evan met her eyes once more, wanting reassurance before crossing over to a point of no return. There was no doubt in her eyes. Receiving the approval he'd been searching for, he lowered his lips to hers.

Drawing her legs against his hips, he eased himself back down against her body. A wave of pleasure coursed through his body when her warmth enveloped him. He felt the humming of her lips as she moaned softly into his mouth. Their movements together were nothing short of ecstasy, their bodies perfectly in sync.

Neither was aware of how long they'd reveled in their bliss. But by the time the night was over, they'd achieved more than either could've have expected. A deep sense of happiness nestled into their souls. There was a connection that went beyond attraction. They slept that night in each other arms, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. As if they were meant for each other.

I apologize that this chapter is so short. But I feel as if there was no more to be said for now. :)

I will have the next chapter up very soon, and we'll continue from there.
