The first touch makes me jump -- he nudges the silicone base of the dildo and groans in approval. The movement is too small and too deep and not him. I don't like that it's not him.
"I hate that this is inside of you instead of me," he admits, and palms the base over my underwear. He grinds it deeper, and I arch a little.
"Me, too," I tell him, breathless. The heat of him, the magnetic pull that vibrates through me, has my body contorting to get as close to him as possible. I whine, knowing the warmth of this hand is millimetres away from my skin.
I feel the mattress dip as he adjusts, putting more weight on one knee so he can push his other hand to cradle the back of my head, fingers threading through the hair. He angles my chin up with a gentle but authoritative tug, making me inhale sharply.
Then, his lips are finally on me. His kiss is soft and open at first, the contact humming through my spine like an electric current. It quickly morphs into something wild and hungry, and he flexes his wrist to create an ebb and flow of pressure against the dildo inside me, a kind of pulse. It makes my eyes roll back into my head, and for the first time I'm glad for the mask covering my eyes -- I'd hate for him to know how little he needs to do to drive me crazy.
But it's not just what he's actually doing; it's the smell of him, the firm ball of his shoulder in my hand, the knowledge that this strong, powerful man that could easily hurt me instead yearns to buy me pyjamas and write me love notes and make sure my doors are locked each night.
In fact, since I gave him that spare key, I've noticed that the internal locks on my windows have been upgraded from their previous rickety paint-over-rust barrel bolt form to more secure, sturdy looking sash locks.
I moan at his ministrations, and he curses, finally giving in and sliding his hand into my panties. His fingertips briefly caress my pubic bone before resting back over the dildo and he says, "Madison," then, he changes his mind and withdraws slightly, "Can I take these off?"
I realise he's pulling on the elastic of my shorts and tell him, immediately and emphatically, "Yes."
The slide of silk over my thighs has me lifting and manoeuvring desperately to get the clothes off me as quickly as possible, which makes him laugh. I'm about to tell him to shut up, to stop teasing me, that my patience is just about worn thin when he kisses me.
A real kiss. On the mouth. Our first kiss.
I melt too quickly and become a puddle of warm goo. He sighs into my mouth and tightens his fingers in my hair almost to the point of pain, like he's not in control of how close he wants me.
