It surprised even me when my lips parted and I asked him, “Well, are you joining me inside?”

He instantly rewarded me with his smile and a hunger in his eyes. My senses were firing, and I was a sphere of exploding fireworks. At any moment, I could lose control of my actions. If I hadn’t lost them already. My body took control, and I reached out my hand to him. He took it, following me through the door.

The front door shut behind us and he moved behind me, bending down and burying his face in my neck.Lock the door. Grab a glass of water. Do you need to go to the bathroom first? Is my room clean?The rational part of my mind, the part that is normally in control, was trying to be a source of reason.

But, when I felt his hot breath on me as his mouth brushed my skin, my pulse quickened, and I uncontrollably released a weak moan. My knees buckled and threatened to collapse under me. He pulled me in close, still behind me, and I felt his bulge on my butt through my dress.

Fuck it. Just give in.A stream of electricity and chaos traveled through my spine as soon as his hands cupped my waist. His face was burrowed into my shoulder, near my neck. I reached my hand up to grasp his hair, guiding his head to continue its journey.

He kissed my shoulder and opened his lips to lightly suck my skin, seeming to mark a starting point. His tongue then traced up my neck to the bottom of my earlobe, leaving behind a wet, merciless trail. He lifted his mouth from my skin, seeming to pull my body with him. Not wanting his mouth to stop.

But, then he blew a focused breath along the trail his tongue had just paved, searing my senses. Inching me closer to my point of no control.

His mouth returned to my neck and then his tongue expertly flicked my lobe as he exhaled hot breath into my ear, the depths of my desire listening. Aroused, but also impatient, I felt an urgency within. I turned around to offer him my open mouth, hoping that his own would satisfy mine. My body was begging, and his lips appeased mine as turmoil was arising within me.

Everything felt perfect; it was all perfect. I accepted his offering, greedily, twisting my tongue with his. Feeding a hunger that had been building in me since the moment we met. He lifted me up when I wrapped my legs around his waist and the slit on my dress ripped further. The low, drumming hunger that had invaded every part of my body that he now touched, was increasing in rhythm and intensity. One of my arms grabbed around his broad shoulders, securing him to me. My other hand held his head as he pressed warm kisses on my neck, down to my collarbone. Then he started walking forward, up to my bedroom. Knowing right where to go, as if he had been in my home before.

When he stepped into my bedroom, he eased me onto my bed, our lips now locked. I willingly submitted as our tongues slid around one another as if in a ravenous battle. Somehow, and I wasn’t completely sure how, he managed to get my clothes off. He slid my dress and undergarments up, down, or around from off my body. When they were off, all I wanted was to feel his skin on mine.

My hands desperately worked on the clasp of his belt as he took off his shirt. Within seconds, I pulled his bulge out and felt a wave of pleasure as it pulsated in my palm. Ellis kicked off any remnants of his clothing and came down on top of me, pressing the weight of his entire body on mine.

Aching for his touch, my grateful body surrendered to him. His skin next to mine, the weight of him reigning in the sparks of pleasure that were surely and madly radiating from my core, barely contained within our sphere. His tongue, again finding my lobe, anchored to my ear as he whispered, “I want all of you, now.”

“Oh Ellis, yes.” I could barely breathe out my consent because he pressed another passionate kiss onto my mouth as he slid inside me. The moans escaping me were choreographed only with the oscillations and undulations of our movements, and he rewarded me in return with groans originating from deep within him. We were unhesitating and sure in our actions, as if we had done this together hundreds of times before. I clawed my hands into his lower back as we rocked together, back and forth, sending waves of pleasure firing through me with every thrust.

He flipped me and changed our movements to his every whim, seeking my gratification and I was showing him how to find it. I was close when his tongue was exploring between my legs, and I pulled him up to join me. “I want you inside.” And helped him travel upwards to obey my request.

All I wanted was to feel his whole body yield to me, and when I started to feel the inevitable climb to my own apex, his pleasure was synchronized with mine. Up and over my peak, fireworks and explosions went off and my body was tensing and releasing, pulling him deeper within me, I felt him arriving at his point of no return.

“Say my name.” I groaned into his ear.

And while he released within me, he surrendered to me. Gasping, “Alexandra.”

My smartwatch reads 4:30 p.m. and I realize that I’ve been daydreaming about last night with Ellis.I hope tonight is a repeat, I think to myself.

I don’t have much time until Ellis arrives to pick me up for our movie date. So I shake off the deliciousness of feeling hot and bothered and I change into jeans, a pale yellow, V-neck tissue tee, and brown platform loafers.

I’m just finishing up a retouch of my mascara when Ellis’s text pops up on my phone letting me know that he’s outside waiting for me. I grab a lightweight, white, cropped jacket from my closet on my way out the door, and I meet Ellis next to his car in my driveway.

He makes my heart skip a beat when I see him. He’s wearing an A’s baseball hat, a white, short-sleeved Henley, and white court shoes. Seeing him casually dressed in clothes that he wears every day outside of work has me wanting to get to know him better. There’s so much more I want to learn about what he enjoys doing and who he is.

He takes me to the movie theatres at the Palladio outdoor mall in Folsom. It’s a popular spot and even though there are hundreds of people, we have more fun than I expected. He’s thrown on a brown leather jacket and we blend in with all the other movie-goers in the theatre lobby.

We’re so engrossed in the fun we’re having that we don’t think twice about who might see us. It feels to me like no one can possibly know who I am. No one cares. I’m just another woman out on a date with a gorgeous man.

It’s packed inside and outside the theatre because it’s the big blockbuster opening night forStar Avengers VI: Night on Planet Zero, starring Ben Watts, and the theatre is packed. Every movie that Ben Watts touches is a hit and I know that the entire crowd is here to watch his movie. I look over at Ellis and notice that he’s in his own world, chuckling.

It’s then that he shows me what he thinks is so funny. Our tickets aren’t for theStar Avengerssequel, it’s for a rom-com starring Jessica Strait and hunky Brock Nolan. I suppose I didn’t care much about seeing theStar Avengers VImovie, after all I think I just saw the first one and possibly parts of the next four movies in the series. I am a bit surprised though that Ellis wouldn’t want to see it. I thought all guys liked action movies.

Ellis jokingly tells me, “You already know I’m a secret fan of steamy romance, so I got these tickets in hopes that I can pull you over to my camp.”

“Oh, I get it,” I reply. “You want to suffocate me with cheesy romance plots until I can’t take it anymore and I agree to do whatever you want.”

“Wait,” he says with a silly grin on his face. “That’s a possibility? Yes! I knew I had the perfect plan!” He pulls me close and plants a kiss on my head, as we navigate away from the crowds and into the theatre where our movie is playing.

“Good call by the way,” I whisper over to him when we’re finally in our seats. “Oh, I have to put my cell phone on Silent.” I pull out my phone to flip it into Silent mode.
