MAKE YOU MINE

Kelly was counting down from one hundred when something moved beneath the sheet. It could have been her imagination since her mind was going at a rapid pace, but no, it wasn’t. His foot touched hers and she jumped.

“Shh. It’s just me.” he said softly.

Well, of course it was him, who else would be in bed with her?

Kelly’s eyes were wide-open and staring into the darkness. And she didn’t want him shhing her. She wasn’t a child and she didn’t like it.

“I figured you weren’t in the mood to cuddle, but I wanted to reassure you that you weren’t alone.” She heard him say. Did his voice sound richer, huskier in the dark?

“I’m definitely not in the mood to cuddle.” She replied. It was an honest reply even if she didn’t exactly like how it sounded. “And I know I’m not alone.” Because when she was alone at night she could breathe.

“Do you normally cuddle the women you sleep with?” she asked him.

“Whoa, I have a strict rule about no discussion of prior lovers while in bed with the current lover.” Dimitri replied.

“We’re not lovers.”

Her response was quick. He moved over, not close enough to touch her, but close enough that she no longer had to stretch out her arm to touch him.

“For the next few hours tonight, we are.” he said.

His feet brushed against hers again, but she didn’t jump this time. “So we won’t cuddle,” he said. “We’ll just lie here and go to sleep.”

“And play footsie?” Kelly added.

“Well, since you asked.” Dimitri turned on his side and extended his legs so that both of his feet tangled between hers.

They were warm, and focusing so much on this simple yet very different touch had managed to calm the anxiety that was steadily building inside of her. And she found herself smiling into the darkness.

After a while, Dimitri said, “Can we talk about this, Kelly? I mean… About us… whatever this is. I know it’s a sensitive topic, but I can’t take it anymore, and we both know that we have to talk about it sometime.”

Kelly continued to stare into the darkness. She knew he was right. No matter how awkward this topic was, they had to talk about it.

“Okay” she said, “I’m listening”

He cleared his throat, like he was nervous about what he had to say, and Kelly waited for him to speak.

“I know that things are complicated right now” he began, “With the company and stuff like that. And I also know that what I’m about to say right now might sound crazy to you, but I have to say it, because I know that it’s something that we both want, and it would be stupid if we both denied ourselves because we could separate our personal lives from business”

He stopped speaking and took in a deep breath, knowing that he was rambling. Damn, Dimitri never found himself in this situation…. Never found himself short of words except with Kelly.

Kelly on the other hand didn’t try to rush him. A part of her already knew what he was going to say, and she was scared, worried and excited all at the same time, but she didn’t move. She lay quite still and listened to him.

“I guess what I am trying to say is, I would really like for us to continue seeing each other” Dimitri managed to say, “If I’m being honest with myself, I admit that contrary to what we agreed before, tonight isn’t going to be enough. And I want to spend more time with you. We don’t have to let it affect work. I know I won’t…. I never let anything affect my work. So what do you say? I want us to keep seeing each other, Kelly”

Kelly continued to stare at the ceiling in the dark room, but she said, “So you want us to continue everything the way it is now… Nothing changes…. Except that we continue sleeping together….”

“Yeah” came Dimitri’s reply. He held his breath, waiting for her to turn him down and he wouldn’t blame her if he did. He knew this was crazy.

Kelly said nothing, but she was thinking hard. If she was being honest with herself too, she would admit that she wanted to keep seeing him. She felt like she was doing something wrong, but still, it kind of gave her a thrill… Some kind of excitement. She had never done anything this crazy before…. Never been attracted to anyone this way before, and she wanted to explore whatever this was. As long as she didn’t let this affect work, she’d be fine. It wasn’t like she had feelings for him or anything… This was going to be a purely sexual relationship.

She felt Dimitri’s legs brush hers again and she jumped, realizing that she had been quiet for a while.

“You are thinking so hard and I’m getting worried that you might say no” he said, “Look, I understand if you want to refuse, I know it’s ridiculous, but I can’t help it…. I just….”

“Okay” she said softly, interrupting him. “It’s a crazy thing to do, I know, but I want this too. But I would like for us to keep it a secret… this is just between us, and it would be much better if we kept it that way”

Dimitri was happy, and he suddenly moved from his side of the bed to hers, screw the no cuddling thing. He crushed her body against his and kissed her deeply. She responded instantly and kissed him back.

Dimitri eased his hand around her waist and untied the belt of her robe. He pushed the silky material off her arm and pressed his lips lightly to her shoulder. Then he extended his hand until he could touch the warm lips of her pussy. She was already wet for him. He groaned and stroked her again.

“I love that you’re already bare for me.” he said huskily and Kelly moaned.

He removed her robe. When that was done, he returned her to the position on her side, with her plump ass facing him. His dick was already poking out from the slit in his boxers, and he had no patience to take it off completely.

“I’m so fucking glad that you said yes,” he whispered and lifted her top leg so that he could slide between her thighs.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
