The fire crackled as Eric tinkered with the logs to keep it burning. In another half hour, Kirsten would be there and Eric could not help but be giddy with excitement and anticipation. How long had it been? Two, perhaps three months? No matter how long it had been, Eric could still smell her perfume in the air and see her brilliant eyes in the sky. Twenty-eight minutes leftā¦
Kirsten and Eric had met years earlier, but never really noticed each other. They had mutual friends in school and only knew each other through association. Eric approached Kirsten years later when he ran into her in the halls at the local community college. They met for coffee that afternoon and dated for close to a month. Unfortunately, Kirsten was forced to move out of state for work and the potential for a relationship was ruined. Kirsten and Eric kept in touch, and Kirsten even visited once in a while. The two managed to fall in love despite their distance and had planned a holiday evening alone to celebrate Christmas and Kirstenās homecoming. Eric rented a cabin on a nearby mountain and Kirsten was going to rent a car straight from the airport and meet him. It was only a visit, but she was also planning on doing preliminary job-hunting so she could move back west.
It was thirteen minutes after she was supposed to arrive that Eric heard the knock at the door. Eric bounded out of his chair so quickly that he nearly knocked it into the fireplace; his reflexes barely saved the day. Kirsten did not even bother to say hi when Eric opened the door. She simply hurled herself at him into a tight embrace.
After a few moments Eric whispered into her ear, āI missed you so much.ā
āI missed you tooā¦God I missed you.ā
Kirsten explained how her trip went and the two chit-chatted about events over the past few days. Both sipped on hot chocolate as they made dinner ā a classic holiday turkey. The bird was probably too large for the two to eat alone, but they did not care. The time spent together was all that mattered.
Eric uncorked a bottle of wine for dinner. Throughout the evening, the two managed to finish one full bottle and were working on their second once they curled up together in front of the fire. Eric spooned himself behind Kirsten and whispered sweet compliments in her ear. She giggled and blushed at his comments and she snuggled herself back into him. It was not long before Ericās comments turned to action. He nuzzled into her neck and began to softly kiss the top of her shoulder. Kirstenās eyes closed reflexively and she sighed as she leaned her head back to allow him better access. Eric gently kissed her neck slowly from the base to her jawbone, alternating closer to her front and to her back. Every other kiss turned into a nibble as he worked his way back down. The two almost simultaneously placed their wine glasses on the floor and let themselves completely into the moment.
Kirsten rolled over and met Ericās lips with hers. The kiss led to a passionate embrace with hands exploring the backs of the other. The passion and romance in the air seemed to fuel itself like oxygen with a fire. Though the two were completely lost in the throws of sexuality, each kiss, each touch, each lingering look was filled with love and trust. Eric slowly began to slide Kirstenās sweater and shirt over her head. He was amazed at her beauty silhouetted against the flicker of the fire. Kirsten used the opportunity to roll Eric onto his back and straddle him. Their roles now reversed, Kirsten unbuttoned Ericās shirt and proceeded to kiss and lick a trail down to his pant button. As she worked past his nipples, Eric began to stroke her hair lovingly, offering both encouragement and appreciation. Once she reached his jeans, she slowly unzipped and removed them. Their lips met again, this time with them both sitting upright. Eric guided her back down to the ground in front of the fire and their session continued. Mimicking Kirstenās actions, Eric worked his way down her belly and removed her pants as well.
The two now lay grinding each other in their underwear. The pace of their breathing had increased and both were reaching nearly uncontrollable levels of arousal. Both had made an almost ritualistic event out of removing each otherās underwear. Kirsten had purposefully brushed near and barely against Ericās penis as she removed his boxers from the inside out. Eric used his teeth to slide Kirstenās panties down around her ankles. He took a more conservative approach with her bra and simple removed it with his hands. Eric laid himself on top of Kirsten, her legs spread to assist entry. He leaned over hear braced by locked arms over her head. Then he took a moment to stare into her eyes.
āI love you, Kirsten. You are the best thing thatās happened to me in years, and I couldnāt imagine what life would be like without knowing you were out thereā¦somewhere.ā A tear began to trickle down Kirstenās cheek and she reached up to him to hold him. Eric let himself down and they met in an embrace. Both were physically ready for the next step. Kirstenās vagina was saturated with her juices and Eric was harder than he could imagine. It took no assistance for him to slowly slide into her. The two held on to each other tightly as Eric slowly entered and exited her hole.
Half in a cry, Kirsten said into his ear, āI love you tooā¦so very much. I have never felt this way about anyoneā¦not like I do with you. I wish we had taken the time to know each other so many years before. It seems like weāve wasted the past few years when we could have spent it like this.ā A moment passed and she repeated an āI love youā back to Eric.
