Charlotte 2
Charlotte paused at the door of her room, flipped on the lights, and looked back at me. The overhead light was dimmed already and her hair blocked it partially; her expression was unreadable, her face in shadow. The confidence she had shown back in the conference room was gone, the initial urgency downstairs was spent, and I remembered that even though we were in her house, even though she had just ground herself to orgasm against me, she was a young and inexperienced woman who had taken a huge leap. I wondered immediately if she was having second thoughts, so I broke the momentary silence to reassure her.
"Hey..." I said softly. "Nothing has to happen here, Charlotte. Whatever you want to do now is fine with me."
"No!" she replied quickly. "It's just...I've never...brought anybody up here."
My hand went to her shoulder reassuringly, but she didn't move.
"I mean it, Charlotte. There's no pressure. We can go downstairs and have a snack, or I can get in my car and go and everything stays the same as it was. It's okay."
Her head came up and she brushed her hair back so that I could see her face. Her expression was still hard to read, but the tilt of her chin was suddenly more confident, almost challenging, and her eyes held mine without hesitation.
"No," she said again. "I want you to come in. I don't want you to go. I just...I don't know what to do," she finished simply.
I smiled and squeezed her shoulder, pulling her closer and leaning in until our lips were an inch apart.
"Let's take it one step at a time, Char...we can just do whatever feels right and take it one step at a time. No pressure."
Her expression softened to a happier look and she nodded unconsciously, accepting the idea. Then she pushed herself up on tiptoe a bit and kissed me quickly on the lips. Then she turned a little and nudged the door open wider with her foot. A neatly-made single bed took up half of the right-hand wall, the blue-and-cream comforter folded back to reveal crisp, pale sheets and two pillows. One door at the foot of the bed was open to reveal a jumbled closet. The other door, I guessed, led to the bathroom.To the left stood a tall white dresser, a full-length mirror, and a small, neat desk. In front of us were three windows looking over the back yard where I could see landscape lights illuminating a few trees and an extensive stone patio, its furniture covered for the winter weather. Bookshelves filled with knick-knacks and books and felt bins full of who-knows-what spread the length of the wall beneath the windows. The air was warm and the lingering smell of her soap or shampoo or whatever smelled so good about her filled my senses.
"Step one is to come in, Mr. Robertson!" Charlotte whispered dramatically, a chuckle lurking in her voice.
I chuckled aloud in response and took one giant step forward, nudging her aside and planting both my feet on an oval rag rug that defined the front half of the room.
"Okay!" I said firmly. "I'm in. What's step two?"
"Well," Charlotte said, "I guess after all that kissing downstairs, you could tell me you like my room and then kiss me some more."
"I love your room, Charlotte. It's beautiful and it smells like your hair and I love being here!"
She grinned at the playful shift in tone and at the compliment. She stepped around so that she stood in front of me again and reached up to put her arms around my neck. Tilting my head down, I kissed her softly but firmly and felt her body come against mine as she relaxed into the kiss. Soon our tongues were teasing each other again and I felt her breathing more deeply. To be honest, I was doing the same...it was a thrill to be in her room, knowing we had hours to ourselves, and feeling that nubile body coming back to life under my hands. My pulse was racing and I could feel my cock starting to harden as it basked in my own arousal and the warmth of her belly pressing against it.
"Step three..." she mumbled against my lips.
Her hands stopped caressing my back and came between us, but our kiss continued. She tugged at the waist of my polo shirt until it came out of my pants, then pushed it upward. I smiled into our kiss and raised my arms compliantly as she reached my armpits, tilting them forward to make things easier for her. She finished her move with a flourish and threw my shirt toward the dresser, but it fell short. She didn't notice, though...she was suddenly focused on the bare masculine chest in front of her. I'm no Adonis, but I keep in decent shape and seeing Charlotte's eyes exploring my body was a thrill I will treasure. Her hands followed momentarily and she stroked me from my waist up to my pecs, running her fingers through my chest hair, and then up across my shoulders and down the backs of my arms. Her eyes were wide as she drank in every detail, every texture and muscle. Finally, she wrapped her cool hands around my waist and nestled her cheek against my chest, breathing deeply as her eyes closed in contentment. I held her close and stroked her hair as she clung to me.
When her eyes opened at last, she tilted her head up and smiled at me.
"I can hear your heart beating!" she said with a laugh. "It's pretty loud when I put my ear right against you!"
"It's pretty excited," I murmured back with a smile.
"You feel so good," she murmured, her smile fading into earnestness. "So warm and soft and...muscley."
"You know what feels even better, Char?" I asked quietly.
"What?"
"Step four!" I said with a grin.
