She stepped out onto the balcony and the warm southern air fought with the unseasonably cool breeze against her bare shoulders. She hugged herself and looked over the yard. Down below on the first floor there were several party goers enjoying the music and each other. She wasn't sure if she should really be waiting for him here.
When he'd said "Meet me up there. I'll be right behind you." he'd pointed at this small balcony and it hadn't seemed as high or as dark or as removed as she felt standing there in the shadows. She wasn't sure if this was a good idea. She'd made up her mind about him- or she thought she had. Maybe her being there, alone, waiting was sign enough that her decision had been hasty.
The crowd down below was oblivious to her. Her inky curls and the black cocktail dress made her a shadow in the dark. She looked out over the guests trying to find him move through the crowd. She leaned over the banister betraying her eagerness to see him.
He'd been dressed in a smart suit, dark with subtle charcoal colored pin stripes. He was still a bit taller than her and broad shouldered. His hair a wild mop and his eyes; seemingly always focused and eager to meet her gaze.
She didn't hear the French doors open. She didn't hear him approach her from behind. She didn't hear anything until he must have been directly behind her.
"Hello there." She almost jumped but just as her body reacted she felt his palm on her shoulder. His hands were very warm. She didn't continue to turn around. She stood with her back to him.
"H- hi!"
"I'm glad you came to meet me. I hope you don't think ill of me for asking to meet you alone up here."
"Why would I do that?" She was unconsciously whispering.
"It could be seen as- compromising. My asking you away from the crowd like this." His other hand reached her other shoulder and his voice was in a dusky whisper as well now. His lips must have been within an inch of her ear. The warm air of his breath sent slow ripples of sensation from her ear, down her throat, along her spine and lower.
"Did you ask me? I thought you were telling me to meet you up here?" Her breathing picked up and she slowly rested her back against his chest. She could feel his breath match her own. His hands moved in front of her his arms closing around her.
"I suppose I did. Are you in the habit of doing what you're told?"
She laughed nervously.
"No." She was surprised to find herself saying the word in breathless sigh. His warm breath sent more rivulets of sensation dancing over the flesh of her neck as he bent down and gently settled his lips against her throat just where her shoulder met. Another shiver.
"Tonight-" he kissed her neck again.
"Tonight, you will."
His arms held her close and firmly. She could tell it wasn't impossible for those arms to keep her there against her will. He slowly spun her around to face him. His face was very close to hers. His body solid and warm against her own. He paused there for a moment as one hand came up and gently raised her chin so she was looking up and into his eyes.
"Yes... Tonight, I will."
He presses his lips to hers and she lets her body go slack as his other arm reaches around her waist raising her body slightly. Her back arched and as his tongue glides along her own making her moan slightly. He spins her around and she can feel her backside bump on the banister. His hand squeezes her side as it slides down. She can feel his hand make a fist against her scalp gently pulling her hair back and like a kitten she obliges his strength and lets her head fall back.
"That's very good." He nuzzles against her neck raining warm kisses along her throat. It tickles in an exceptionally delicious way. She feels his hand massage her thigh and lift it. She balances on one leg against the railing. He steps in close and she moves her leg along his side bending at the knee drawing him toward herself.
"Ah!" She makes a pleasured little gasp as she realizes exactly what he intends.
She feels the warm, nearly hot palm of his left hand comes up along that knee over her thighs. Smooth, like warm silk sheets, her subtly muscled thighs seem to distract him and she feels the pressing matter of his lust for her grow. Now it's her hands that seem eager. She grips his jacket at the back, more to hold on than anything else. Her other hand is pressed against his chest enjoying the sturdiness of him. As his body presses against her the thrill of it comes from the fact that she couldn't hope to stop him now. Like a beast with a mission she hears his breath powerful and one of the only two noises in the night air- the other sound only small needful gasps she makes herself.
