Fallen - Together at last.
As they drove back to Alicia's house they were in a thoughtful silence. James had not let go of her for a second, always holding her hand or his hand on her thigh when she needed her hand to drive. Neither looked at each other though. Both needing a little distance while still being close, keeping that connection.
It had been more than Alicia could have ever imagined. So much so it scared her. Her emotions had shifted this last hour. This is not what she was expecting. This was just supposed to be fun, two consenting adults living out their fantasies together nothing more. But she feared she had just fallen harder than ever before.
Her mind raced trying to make sense of her feelings and to rationalise them. No way had she just fallen in love. It's the endorphins racing through her that's all. After all that was the best, most intense sexual experience of her life. She was in awe of him, not love, definitely not love.
She chanced a glance at James. He was looking out of his window, she could see his reflection in the glass, he was completely lost in thought. What was he thinking? Had this experience rocked him as much as it had her? Would he want to continue after this or was this going to be the shortest encounter she'd ever had?
They were getting close to home now. Alicia decided it was time to bring James out of his musings. Gently she rubbed her thumb over his hand and said 'hey we're just about here'.
James seemed a little startled and confused. "Oh already, that was quick,'' he said.
" We've been driving for 45 minutes,'' she replied. "you kinda spaced out on me there. Are you OK?"
He sat up straight and apologised. "I'm so sorry. I've been a terrible passenger "I didn't even offer to do my share of the driving."
Alicia smiled at James, "it's OK" she said, understanding his thoughtful state. "Hopefully you enjoyed the views." she said, not wanting to talk about what had happened just yet. She needed time to process everything.
"It's certainly a beautiful area you live in, Alicia. You don't get views like this in the city that's for sure" he said, glancing at the spectacular mountains around him. "You could easily disappear for days and never be disturbed,'' he said with a wink.
She beamed at him. She had hoped James would like where she lived. For some reason his opinion really mattered to her, and she loved it when he gave her a cheeky wink, it made her giddy. "I'm so glad you like it," she said.
He smiled back at her with his toe curling smile and told her. "I'd still rather have you as my view though."
Alicia blushed at his compliment. She didn't think she would ever get used to being complimented so much. He told her all the time how beautiful she was but struggled to accept what he said as true. As far as she was concerned she was just a plain Jane with her shoulder length brown wavy, usually uncontrollable hair and brown eyes. She never felt special or beautiful except when she spent time online talking with James. He made her feel those things for the first time in her life. But she still questioned his eyesight on a regular basis.
As they neared their exit she said "you must be hungry. Do you want to go straight back to my place and grab sandwiches or pop into one of the local restaurants?"
He looked at her with that naughty smile of his that made her panties damp and said "you will need more than a sandwich for energy with what I have planned for you. So somewhere in town but let's make it quick if we can. I need to get you in bed soon" and he leaned over and kissed her neck and licked up to her ear.
Alicia moaned and gripped the steering wheel. Just like that she wanted him again. "I know just the place," she said as she turned off of the motorway.
Alicia led James into one of her favourite restaurants, "it's small and simple here but has the best food in town," she said. The owner Antonio is welcoming as usual, he always has a big smile for her. They are seated quickly at Alicia's usual table at the back where it's quiet.
After taking their drinks order Antonio heads off to the bar leaving Alicia and James alone. "Looks like I'm not the only one taken by you,'' James quips, tilting his head in Antonio's direction.
Alicia laughs "Ha hardly, he's just being nice to his best customer. Antonio is funny. He knows I hardly understand him but keeps chatting to me anyway. One day I'll surprise him and reply to one of his jokes."
"So what are you fancying to eat?" she asked, looking at her menu even though she knew everything on it. When he didn't reply she looked up to find him staring at her with so much heat in his eyes it almost scorched her. Her insides quivered with need. That look told her exactly what he was thinking of eating and it was nothing from Antonio's menu. "oh"
she said and swallowed hard, gripping the menu.
"yes, oh" he said in his oh so sexy I want you voice "i'm dying to taste you Alicia, i've had to watch you taste yourself and describe it to me for too long now. I want my turn. So let's hurry this up so I can have my dessert."
James's words had Alicia groaning and wishing they had gone straight back to her place and skipping food. "we could get it to go if you want" she managed to croak out. James had her so worked up again, thinking of what was to come she could barely speak. If it was anything like he'd described in the past she doubts she will have the ability to speak at all afterwards.
"No, we should eat here, it's unlikely we will make it further than the door before I'm on my knees in front of you enjoying my dessert. And who knows how long it will before I've had my fill of you. You need your strength for what I have planned." James told her.
Any witty come back she would normally have was nowhere to be found. She could barely think straight. Alicia had no idea how she was meant to eat anything now. Food was the last thing on her mind. All she could picture was James on his knees in front of her with his dark hair and beard, his brown eyes shining with excitement as he looked up at her. The image alone had her flooding her panties again.
"Hurry up and decide what you want then. I'm going to have the pork dish. It's quick and enough without being too filling. And you're not the only one looking forward to dessert." she said, deliberately licking her lips seductively.
