“Do you not want more freedom?” I asked.
She nodded.
“Yes, but I don’t want it to cost me my brother.”
I could understand that, but I was not going to let go of her. I wanted her. More than I could say. I reached out, and pushed some of her hair away, before letting my hand rest on her neck. I pulled her closer to me and let my lips graze against hers.
“Do you not feel it?” I whispered.
She let out a sweet little whimper when I pulled back. She had tried to kiss me, but I was playing with her, and she knew it.
“Do you not want it?” I asked. “The need. The passion. The love.”
“Yes,” she said.
“Then don’t leave tomorrow.”
“I have to go home,” she said.
I shook my head and kissed her hard, pressing her up against the wall behind her. She moaned so beautifully and completely surrendered herself to me, but I didn’t demand more of her. I didn’t want to scare her. Not after everything she had been through.
“Stay,” I pulled back and whispered.
She shook her head and kissed me shortly.
“No.”
I smiled a little.
“You are a challenge.”
“You like it,” she said.
“Definitely.”
I pulled away though, and she seemed a little disappointed that I had put some distance between us. If she just knew how close I wanted her, she would definitely not be disappointed.
“I will go get you something you can sleep in,” I said.
She just nodded, and I walked to my closet, finding a simple dark grey t-shirt, before bringing it back to her, and then pointing to where the bathroom was. I undressed too, wearing only boxers when she came out. When she saw me, she froze, and let her eyes run everywhere. I loved it, and I loved how she looked wearing only my t-shirt. I walked over to her, and she seemed to think I would kiss her again, but instead, I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I found a toothbrush for her as well, and when we were done, we both went to bed. Valeri wasn’t scared to come close to me though, and I quickly wrapped my arms around her, so overpowered by her sweet scent, that it was hard to keep my hands off her.
“You smell so good,” I whispered in her ear and nuzzled her neck.
She chuckled in such a cute way. I just wanted to listen to her laugh all of the time.
“I really think you should reconsider,” I said and turned her head a little, so I could better see her.
“I can’t. I told you.”
“No, you can, but you won’t.”
She sighed and rolled her eyes.
“It’s the same,” she said.
I shook my head.
“You know it isn’t.”
