"Bye ladies, drive safe!" I said as I closed the front door behind the girls. As I turned around to collect the empty wine glasses and plates, I smiled. It was already 11:40, which meant that Paul should be on his way back to my house, if he wasn't already here. I had just finished loading the last plate into the dishwasher, and finishing the last bottle of wine, when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and Paul's voice in a joking tone "Honey! I'm home!"
"Hi," I said, "I've been drinking."
"Oh yeah?" he asked, kissing me. "You taste like merlot."
"Mmm-hmm. When I've been drinking, I like to make out."
"I see this working out in my favour," he said, embracing me and kissing my forehead. "You wanna make out here in the kitchen or go into the living room?"
"I was thinking somewhere else. Like the bedroom." I turned around and pulled him toward the door.
"I refuse to take advantage of you when you're drunk," he said, stone-faced, feet planted firmly in my kitchen.
"I'm not drunk, just allowing the wine to help me ask for what I want." I explained. "It's not like it's the first time we've made out in my bed."
"I see. Well, I'll agree to the bedroom only because I can have you set your own alarm before you pass out." He winked.
"I'm not passing out. At least not before I've gotten what I want from you."
"And what would that be?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and smiling.
"You're about to find out."
I took Paul's hand and led him through my room and into the bathroom where I had several candles lit. "I've been thinking about that shower you described, the first night? Watching the water run over my breasts, soaping my skin..." I could see the lust burning in his eyes, though he tried to hide it.
"Well, I could use a shower," he said as he pulled the dirty blue t-shirt over his head and pressed his body against mine. He leaned down and kissed me, soft at first, but it quickly turned into a sort of need; like he couldn't get enough of me. His hands were on my hip, at the top of my skirt and in my hair, pushing and pulling in all the right places.
"Mmmm, Paul..." I moaned , running my hands over his chest.
"Are you absolutely sure this is what you want?" Paul asked, looking into my eyes. When I didn't answer immediately, he begged "Don't tease me, Abbie."
