I turn and walk to my own front door. Tearing myself away from her was almost unbearable, but she needs this time to process what I’ve said. For her to process her own feelings. But I know what I want. I so badly want to look back but I know that if I did, I won’t stop walking back to her. And when I reach her, I wouldn't stop kissing her and that might lead to something she wasn't ready for. I want her to be sure.
Once inside my own apartment I hop into the shower and let the cold water run through my hair and down my body. God knows I need a cold shower to cool me down after that amazing kiss in the restaurant and then again in the elevator. Fuck, I want her so badly. But if time is all she needs, then that is what she’ll get. I put my head to the shower wall, thinking about our passionate kiss when the doorbell rings.
Who could be visiting at this hour? I don’t remember anyone telling me they would come by. Jay usually surprises me with a visit once in a while, but we always hung out at the basketball court three days a week. Maybe it is Jay?
I get out of the shower, wrap a towel around my waist and walk to the door. As I tap on my security camera, I can see that it isn’t Jay. It’s Anna.
I quickly open the door and stare at her for a few seconds. Her eyes were red and tear-streaked.
"Are you okay, Anna? Is something wrong?" Anna looks up at me and holds her breath, biting her bottom lip. I notice her eyes wander from my face to my chest and down to my towel. I’m suddenly very aware of our proximity to one another.
"I want to be with you, Hal, and I don't care what happens.”
Chapter Six
Annalise
I stand in front of Hal’s door with my heart in my hands. I knocked moments ago, but there is no answer. I almost give up and go back to my apartment, when the door opens and I’m greeted by Hal, wearing nothing but a gray towel.
He says something, but I don’t quite hear it. I’m too consumed by the image standing in front of me. I look up and take all of him in. He takes my breath away. His dark hair is dripping wet. Water trickles down his brow, across his chiseled jawline. I draw in a breath as I notice water trickle from his broad chest, falling down to his abs and eventually finding solitude beneath his towel.
I bite my bottom lip.
I can’t help it. There’s no going back after this. I have never seen a more beautiful specimen of a man. I take a mental picture of this moment, wishing and praying that what happens next will remain with me forever.
His dark brows furrow as he looks at me, concerned. I eventually remember how to speak.
"I want to be with you, Hal, and I don't care what happens.”
Hal immediately pulls me close, covering my mouth with sweet hard kisses. He brings me into his apartment and kicks the door shut with his foot. Then his wet body pins me to the back of his door.
His mouth is on my neck again and I struggle to breathe as I’m so consumed by him. His large hands travel all over my body. I can feel his huge erection through the confines of the towel. I place my hands on his abs, inches from the towel. I so want to see what’s beneath it. Before I can think, Hal picks me up and carries me to his bedroom. His kisses don’t stop as he reaches behind me and unzips my emerald dress. He lets it fall to the floor and I step out of it, still wearing stilettos. I kick them off. His lips are on my body now and I feel a wetness between my legs. I’m eager to see what’s beneath the towel still …
As he bends to kiss my chest, I feel the clasp of my bra come undone and his lips are on my breasts. He hungrily licks each breast and circles each nipple and areola with his tongue. It’s more than I can bear.
I whisper Hal’s name and stroke his head as he continues to make me groan.
I reach for his towel eager to remove it, but he takes my hands and lays them on his ripped abs. He picks me up and places me on his bed. I can still see his erection through the towel. I pull him closer to me, whilst sitting on the bed, and kiss his abs. He is a work of art. I can’t bear it any longer, I need to see him. All of him. I tug at the towel and he grins at me.
"Hal. Please,” I beg.
Hal stands at the end of the bed and lets the towel fall to the ground. I am in awe. He is so large and thick that I can feel my juices drenching the sheet underneath me.
He gets back on to the bed and begins kissing my feet, gently up my calves, nibbling my inner thighs until he gets to my wetness. He takes a deep breath and breathes me in.
"My God, Annalise. You are divine. Look what you do to me.” I look down at his throbbing cock. He’s even bigger than before. I’m eager to be with him, but I’m nervous as this is my first time. Maybe I should have mentioned this sooner?
Hal gently takes my panties and pulls them down and throws them over his shoulder. Then he spreads my legs and runs his tongue down one thigh and then the other.
I squirm as he licks and bites, teasing me. My hips involuntarily move up, desperate for him to touch me, to lick me there and to please me.
"Oh Hal, please.” I beg again.
Hal happily obeys as he slips his tongue in between my legs. I throw my head back as pleasure soars through me.
I gasp as he inserts two fingers into me, thrusting in and out, his tongue teasing my clitoris.
“Annalise you’re so tight.” Hal beams.
