I stop, suddenly nervous. All the feelings I’ve kept bottled up for years are bubbling up into my throat, making my chest tighten. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had my thoughts drift away in a council meeting while I slyly watched him, hoping no one noticed who I was looking at.
Maybe I should just forget about it. I’m too nervous. What if this is all a mistake, and he says no?
That would be utterly devastating, and so painful that I wouldn’t be able to face him in council ever again. With that thought, I start to back away slowly, knowing that my heart could never cope with the pain if he rejected me.
“Mabel?” Xavier’s light voice drifts through the darkness.
I tense up all over, holding in a string of curses.
Fuck. What do I do now?
“Yeah,” I answer, coming out of the trees. “I changed my mind about the walk, so I followed you.”
“Okay,” he says, sounding excited. “Did you want to come and sit up here, or actually go for a walk?”
“No, I’ll sit. You know I’m not big on physical activity.”
He chuckles. “Something we share. Who would want to be bouncing around a football field when you could be curled up on the couch, eating donuts?”
“I think I’ve said those exact words,” I laugh, sitting down next to him.
There is barely any space between us, and I can feel my nerves building as I think about touching him. It would be so easy to reach over and take his hand, but the distance seems too far to cover.
“Nice view,” I mutter.
“It is,” Xavier agrees, and I turn to see him looking not at the lake, but at me.
Blushing, I turn away, and then he gently takes my hand.
“I’ve been adoring you from afar for a very long time,” Xavier says. “Didn’t you know?”
“No,” I whisper, shaking my head. “I had no clue.”
“Well, now that you know… are you going to leave me hanging out here, or…?”
“Or?” I echo, grinning.
Xavier grins back and leans towards me. I feel the heat crackling between us as his lips get close to mine. When our mouths touch, I almost jump from the shock.
A soft moan echoes in my throat as the electric bolt running through me dissipates into thrilling waves of goosebumps. I’m trembling from the force of it when Xavier grips my shoulders and pulls me closer to him.
I wrap my arms around his waist and press myself against him, moaning as he pushes me down onto the ground and rolls on top of me. I open my mouth and kiss him even more deeply, feeling red-hot waves of pleasure pulsing through me, making my nipples hard and my body ache.
“Do you want to…” Xavier begins, then trails off. “I understand if you don’t.”
“No, I do,” I answer, breathlessly. “I’ve wanted you for so long.”
He smiles, and there is such a tender look in his eyes, it reaches my heart. I stroke his cheek with my knuckles, and he leans down again to kiss me, slowly and softly, until I’m writhing against him again.
Xavier’s strong hands grope me all over, rubbing my breasts, digging into my hips, and shoving my clothes out of the way. I help him tug my underwear off as he pushes my thighs apart with his knees and throws himself back on top of me again, his hot tongue sweeping into my mouth and caressing mine.
“You’re beautiful, Mabel,” he whispers into my ear. “I want you so much.”
“No more waiting,” I gasp, breathless. “Now.”
Xavier wraps his arms around me, thrusting forward with his hips. I feel the hard length of him slip into me, and I arch my back, wrapping my legs around his hips. Xavier clings to me, his lips and tongue gently caressing my neck as he nuzzles me under my ear.
I wrap my arms tightly around him and writhe, moaning as I feel him moving inside me. Xavier gasps in my ear, bracing himself against me so he can start to thrust.
