The clock struck 8'o'clock. CNN was on, the lights were off, and the door of my room was closed. My boyfriend and I were snuggled on my bed, both our mouths open. Outside, the hall of my dormitory was empty, dead silent. The commercial break ended.
"Shhhh!!!" We both hushed at each other, even though neither of us were talking. My hand slipped around Danny's arm, gripping it tightly.
Wolf Blitzer appeared on the screen. "And CNN can now project…"
We both held our breath.
"…that Barack Obama, 47 years old, will become the president-elect of the United States…."
"YESSS!!!!" We leapt off the bed together, flinging our hands in air, jumping and yelling as we celebrated. Through the walls of my room, I could hear the same exuberance in my dorm-mates, as eruptions of shouts and cheers rang through the halls.
Danny wrapped his arms around me and lifted me off the ground, hugging me tight. I'm a pretty short girl, about 5'1", and usually weight right around a hundred pounds, give or take a few. Danny, on the other hand, used to play basketball in high school, and is well over six feet tall. He shook me back and forth as I laughed, my long, caramel brown hair tousling back and forth in a mess. I closed my eyes and giggled as he twirled, feeling the room spin around us before he finally put me back down.
"We did it," he said, grinning down at me.
"We did it," I echoed back, slipping my hands around his neck and raising myself on my tip-toes to kiss him. I felt his arms encircle my waist once more as our lips locked, pulling me into his body. I'm a runner, and you can tell by my build. My legs are lean and trim but athletic. And I'm not an especially curvy girl – I've got a B-cup chest (sometimes a C-cup on a good day) and a firm, small butt – but the flip side is that I'm pretty slender. One of Danny's favorite things about my body is that he can wrap one arm around my entire waist.
Our kiss lasted for several seconds. At last, we parted and I sank back down on my heels, looking into his eyes.
"Now ANWR is safe," he said, smiling at me.
"Yep. So is Roe v. Wade." I flopped back on the bed, my feet dangling off the edge, arranging my skirt. I was wearing a pretty typical outfit for me; a tight-fitting, spaghetti strap tank top, and a frilled skirt that stopped just above my knees. Danny had just come from the gym; he was wearing gym shorts and a plain white T-shirt that showed off his gorgeous arms.
"Maybe we can even start moving towards pay equality," he said, crawling onto the bed next to me, sliding a hand across my bare calf. I shivered at the sensation, and didn't miss a flash of a mischievous grin slide across his face.
"Stop," I said, scooting closer to him. "Now you're just being ridiculous."
"No, really." His hand was a little higher now, resting on my kneecap, right at the edge of my skirt. "It's an all-Democrat government. Maybe there's even a chance of getting some of those gay marriage bans overturned." His hand was slowly sliding further up my leg, hovering just under my skirt's hem. He was waiting for a signal. I grinned up at him.
"Danny," I teased. "You're being unrealistic. Your head's up in the clouds."
"Yeah?" He leaned forward, so that his mouth was just inches from mine.
"You don't like it when I dream big?" Then he kissed me, hard and passionate, but only for a second before he pulled away. It was one of his tricks; tease me with a lightning-quick but achingly good kiss, so good that it made me crane my neck and raise my chin for more. I caught myself halfway through the movement as I stared up at him, my amber eyes locked deep into his dark brown ones.
"Nope," I replied, and I placed my hand on his, which was still on my leg, stroking my knee. Then, I gently but firmly slid it up my thigh, letting him caress the slender skin of my leg, my skirt riding up as our hands moved in tandem. "…I love it."
"Mmmm…well in that case, I'm dreaming of a timetable for leaving Iraq." His hand was stroking my thigh, inching even further up my leg, toward my hips, building my anticipation with every second. His mouth was on my neck, peppering it with kisses, sending shivers down my spine, so strong they made me want to squeal out loud. Instead, I craned my head to the side, letting my hair spill my shoulder, and slowly snuck a hand across his legs and onto his crotch.
His hips jolted involuntarily when I reached my target, and I couldn't help grinning as I felt his cock stir in his pants, growing and pressing against my hand, ready to come out and play.
"Oooh…that's it…talk dirty to me, Danny…"
He laughed. "Oh yeah, Ashley…you're so hot…you're hotter than global warming…" His other arm was around my tiny waist, his hand on my torso, gently sliding my top up my skin, every inch of my flesh flushing with eagerness as he gently glided across it.
