Room 212 (22 page)

“It was so good. Thank you.”

“Thank you for having me.”

“I’ll take you back after our drink.”

“Who says I want to go back?”

“I do. It’s a damn nice motel,” I chuckled.

He took my glass from my hand and took my head in his hands and gently laid it down on his lap, stroking my hair.

“You and your damned hair fetish.”

“It was your hair, Laura, remember?”

“I remember.”

“What else do you remember?”

“That you hit me in the face with a crow bar.” I felt his legs move with his chuckle.

“It was a damn Frisbee.” He sighed before continuing, “I remember you dancing on the bar, so fucking perfect, in your short shorts and knee-high boots. I had never seen a woman so in control of her body. All those guys were throwing themselves at you.”

“I remember you almost had me naked in a parking lot.”

More chuckling.

“I remember butter dripping down your chin.”

“I remember you beat me when you lost a football game.” This time he laughed a loud ‘bullshit’, followed by a tense silence.

“I remember making love to you in a field all night long.”

My eyes fluttered shut. I felt warmness spread through me and let out a long breath.

“I remember that, too.” I lifted my head to his, twisting my body on the couch to make my lips available to him.

“If I kiss you, Laura, I won’t stop.”

“This time, I won’t ask you to, Seth.” I barely got the sentence out and his mouth was covering mine in a life altering kiss. I felt my cheeks go red and instantly let out a moan, which seemed to trigger him further into a frenzy. Everything we felt for each other, years of separation, all came back in one kiss. His tongue caressed mine and I climbed into his lap, cupping the back of his head, grinding my body onto his, greedy for him, letting him devour me and dishing it back out. We thrust our tongues together until we were gasping. I took off my t-shirt and straddled him on the couch, rubbing myself over him.

“Laura, baby.” He quickly undid my bra, taking my taut nipple into his mouth, biting and sucking it to soothe the ache. I wrapped my arms around his neck and arched my back, making myself more accessible. I grabbed the back of his t-shirt with my fists and dug into him. He stood up with me still clinging to him and I fastened my legs around his back. He kissed me so gently, I felt the stir inside me that quickly combusted. I was like a moth to a flame, raking my fingernails over his back, kissing his neck, my need growing stronger and stronger. He broke our kiss to meet the wild look in my eyes.

“Laura, you’re killing me.” His voice was hoarse as he traced his tongue over my lips. I grabbed his tongue with my mouth and began sucking it mercilessly. He ground his hips into me and I felt all of him hard against me. I was gone, so gone. I felt myself throbbing for him and tightened my grip around his hips, shoving my chest into his mouth. He eyed me as he licked my nipples, lust and hunger in his gaze.

He made quick strides toward my bedroom and when we reached the bed he set me down to stand before him, bare breasted and helpless. I never wanted anything more in my life than him inside me. He undid the button of my jeans, giving me a heated look.

“I won’t stop, Laura, until you beg me. I won’t stop.” He didn’t wait for my response. He pulled down my jeans and snapped my panties off my body with his fingers. Holy shit! I let out another moan as his tongue roamed my chest and throat. I reached for the button of his jeans and he stopped me.

“Patience, baby.” To hell with that, I had waited fourteen years for this and I wasn’t waiting another minute. I pushed him away from me and quickly undid his jeans, freeing him from his boxers. I heard him let out a gasp as my hand cupped his sac and ran down his thick length, squeezing him. He pushed me back on the bed and I let myself fall. He spread my legs and hovered over me. I closed my eyes and felt his hands push the hair away from my face. All I had to do was open my eyes and Seth would be there.

“Us,” he whispered in my ear and my eyes sprang open. “I remember us.” I felt my eyes water and turned my head to the side to keep him from seeing. This was not fun at all. This hurt, and it hurt badly.

“Don’t do that. Don’t say that.”

He took his lips back down to my chest, planting soft kisses and trailing down to my naval. His fingers gently spread me open as he knuckled them up and down my drenched center, making me cry out to him.

“Oh God, Seth, please.”

“You want to come, Laura? So wet for me… All for me. Come for me, Laura. Show me you remember me.” He dipped his head and licked me once and I let the tidal wave wash over me. He licked me over and over until my rush subsided. I was crying openly now and his lips came back to meet mine. I felt my mouth shudder as I cried and kissed him back, my chest full, tears streaming down the side of my temple. He pulled away from me.

“Are you…do we need…protection?”

“No.”

He quickly put himself in between my legs and hovered. He put his hands on the sides of my face, wiping my tears with his thumbs as I braced myself for him. Still he hovered.

“What, Seth? Please, I need you so much, don’t stop.”

“I won’t ever stop.” He pushed himself inside of me and a fresh set of tears escaped me. I felt the sting of being stretched beneath him.

“Laura!” I felt him jerk inside me, his arms dropped out from beneath him, he stilled himself. His breath was heavy against my neck. “I can’t handle it, baby. I just can’t.” He picked himself up and began thrusting deep inside of me and I felt him growing harder and harder with each thrust. He let himself go and collapsed on the bed next to me. I couldn’t help the nervous laughter that escaped me. He quickly sat up, his expression dark.

“When you say you won’t ever stop, you did mean tonight right?” His scowl made me laugh harder.

He pulled me on top of him, straddling him as he began to stroke me with his thumbs, circling them slowly, teasing me until I started to feel the pull. I leaned into his touch and met his challenging eyes.

“Laura, I’m going to love you until you have nothing left inside of you.” He paused to watch me fall apart on top of him. “You see,” he lowered his eyes to watch his thumbs, “you were made for me, baby.” I felt him harden against me as he lifted my hips and put the tip of his hard length inside me, gliding me up and down, but only enough to leave me hungry. “Feel that baby? It’s mine.”

“It’s yours,” I repeated in a plea.

“I didn’t expect you to feel so good. I didn’t expect you,” he shoved my hips down and I was instantly full of him, he began grinding our hips together and quickly slipped out again, ruining me, leaving me wide eyed and panting, “to still fit me like a glove. But you were made for me, and this,” he pushed himself slowly inside me as I bit my lip and came again, clawing at his chest, “was made for you, Laura.” I collapsed on top of him, defeated.

“Oh no you don’t.” He rolled me over on my stomach and I felt him enter me again and moaned out in surprise. He was deep, so deep. He whispered his appreciation, “I just want to love you until there is nothing left. I want to make you raw, until you know there is no one else in the world but me.” He kissed every inch of my back and shoulders as he made love to me. He turned me over as I lay out before him. “So fucking beautiful…so beautiful.” I grabbed his bicep and brought it to my mouth, covering it with my tongue. He blanketed me with his lovemaking, attentive and hungry. I parted my legs wider, wrapping them around him, taking him deeper, and meeting his hips. I blew cool air on the sweat forming on his chest. I saw his eyes soften and I sighed his name as he came, whispering mine.

“We should probably do this every day until I leave.”

I giggled at his statement and brought my lips to his chest. “Not the worst idea I’ve ever heard.”

“We have fourteen years to make up for.”

“Not really. Things turned out the way they were supposed to.”

“You really think so?”

“Of course,” I smiled, lifting my head on my elbow to face him. He pushed the hair away that was falling in my face.

“Laura, do you have any idea how beautiful you are?” He traced a finger over my lips, down my throat and then around my nipple. My chest started to rise and fall quickly.

“So responsive to me and see what you do to me?” He took my hand placing it over his as he grew hard in my hand. “You own me.”

“It’s always been this way. I’ve never come with anyone else.” Shit, did I just say that? I turned to gauge his reaction and saw the smug Seth. Yep, I did.

“Not one? Not even your husbands?”

“Nope.”

“God, Laura that makes me so happy.”

“Not me, damn it. Do you have any idea how frustrating that can be?” I paused remembering our first night together. “Déjà vu”

He didn’t say another word, and spent the rest of the night making it up to me.

*****

I felt him slip inside of me and smiled with my eyes closed.

“Laura, I’m already an hour late, and I can’t stop myself.”

I opened my eyes to see his expression and saw torment on his face. “Seth, what’s wrong?”

“I can’t stop, don’t ask me to.”

“I won’t, Seth, but you’re scaring me.”

“I don’t mean to, baby, just don’t…stop me.” I reached up to cup his face in my hands. I had no idea where this was coming from. I felt the pain radiating from him. He hid his face from me, burying it in my chest. He slowly stretched me under him and I gasped at the pleasure through the pain. Always the perfect lover, he made sure I let go before he did.

We giggled as we rushed through a shower to get him back to the motel. I walked Tetris as he used his cell phone to bark orders at his crew. We hopped in my truck and quickly made it back.

“See you tonight?”

“I have dinner with friends, but I can see you after.”

I saw the look of disappointment cross his face. “I’ll wait.”

“I’ll see you soon.” I walked away from the truck and he grabbed the back of my jeans by the pocket and quickly spun me to face him. His crew was making their way down the stairs as Seth took my mouth so possessively, there was no question about his intention. He kissed me thoroughly, his tongue deep in my mouth. I was covered in goose bumps and let out a sigh, opening my mouth further to let him have his way with me. He wrapped his arms around me and I felt my body go weak against him. There was nothing I could do to escape and I felt no guilt in not wanting to. I heard his crew holler their appreciation for their boss’s over the top PDA. Seth, true to form, didn’t stop kissing me, didn’t look their way, just kept gliding his tongue over mine until he had enough. When he finally pulled away I gave him a smile.

“You haven’t changed much at all.”

“Why mess with perfection?”

“You are such a man.”

He leaned into me and whispered in my ear, licking my lobe, “I’ll see you tonight, baby. I can’t wait to make you come again, screaming my name.” He walked away to join his crew and I felt Linda’s eyes on me from the lobby. I quickly walked inside while the crew gave Seth hell.

“Laura, oh my God, if a man ever kissed me like that I would never recover.”

“Trust me Linda, I won’t.”

“So you obviously have a story with this guy. Please don’t leave out any details.”

I watched the crew drive away and Seth slowed to a stop, eyeing me from his truck through the lobby window, a slow smiling lighting his face. I took a deep breath and returned his smile. I gave him a curt wave and shooed him away, embarrassed at his usual over the top romantic notions. He slowly drove away, leaving me there, wanting him. Still dazed and watching for Seth long after he was out of site, I found myself answering Linda.

“It’s pretty crazy. I dated him for a few months when we were kids.”

“Well, he’s not a kid anymore. Must have been a hot few months.” It was a huge understatement. Those few months all those years ago had changed the course of my entire life. They lead me through heartbreak, a difficult road of self-discovery, and ultimately to the amazing place I was in now. I wanted to tell Linda everything, to reveal what he truly meant to me, to finally tell someone else what my heart knew already. Seth was the love of my life. He was my soul mate, and he was back, for now. I turned from the window to face her with a look of absolute certainty. “He was the only good thing that happened to me in Texas.”

*****

I rushed through dinner with my friends, lying to them about my urgent need to leave early. I was acting like a love sick kid and I knew it, but the craving to be in Seth’s arms was too strong. I flew up the motel steps and made my way to his room, pausing to catch my breath before I knocked on the door.

I didn’t have a chance to rap my knuckles on it when it opened and I was lifted off of my feet, his hot mouth on mine instantly. He pushed my back against the door and undressed me. I felt his hands everywhere and lost composure quickly as he knelt to lick the inside of my thighs. He took me to the floor with him, and lifted my lower body, my legs over his shoulders and he pushed his tongue inside of me, tasting me, suckling me, licking me, leaving nothing left. I felt the familiar pounding in my ears and braced myself to let the wave take me. He pushed two fingers inside me and I gave into him, screaming his name, grasping the back of his head bucking into him, riding wave after wave. He lifted me to lay against his chest, his back to the door.

We didn’t say a word as I recovered. He stroked my lower back with his fingertips and kissed my temple, holding me to him. I covered him with my hand, bringing my eyes to his, and I saw his eyes dance as his lips twitched at my coaxing.

“Still hungry, baby?” He stood, pulling me up with him, and started to undress. Fully naked, I walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, motioning him to join me. He stood in front of me, his hard erection making my mouth water. I lightly strummed my fingers over him and watched his head tilt back as he bit his lower lip and closed his eyes.

“Look at me, Seth. Watch me.” I saw the awe and surprise in his eyes as I gave my order and took him in my mouth, relaxing my throat and grabbing him from behind with both hands to thrust him inside of it, laving my tongue over every hard inch of him. I heard him whisper words of appreciation and met his eyes. He was watching my every move as I had asked him to. I cupped his tender sac with my hand and fisted his length with the other, drawing as much of him as I could, sucking hard and moaning as I felt my insides twitch.
