Kelly took a deep breath and twisted the key in the front door. Holding her breath, she eased the door just wide enough for her to slip through and slid out of the house. Standing on the doorstep, Kelly coaxed the door closed, gritting her teeth as the bolt clicked shut with a loud, metallic sound. Like a slender wraith, she glided down the steps, as graceful as a young colt. She turned left on the street and strode through the late evening darkness.
The streets were quiet and nobody paid any attention to her, backpack slung over one shoulder, as she paced along the pavement. She glanced at her watch, checking the time and calculating the hours until Rod finished his shift at the coffee shop. Three hours until midnight, then half an hour for Rod to make his way back to his apartment. Kelly smiled at the thought of his expression when he saw her, sitting on his doorstep. Rod was older, twenty-one, than her by nearly three years. That was only one of the reasons Mom and Dad hated him. she had tried to tell them that they loved each other, but Mom and dad had just blown their tops, calling him a 'waster' and her a 'stupid child'.
That had just made Rod more glamorous, in her eyes at least. Rod had been calm and patient, seemingly content to share coffees or walks in the park. He told her that he was a student, working his way through medical school. Kelly had been smitten by his tall good looks, the curly dark hair and chocolate brown eyes. He never seemed to work out, or play sport, but his body was lean and firm, making the jeans and scrubs he wore look tailored. Rod always seemed to have a smile for her. They had met when she had skipped school to go shopping and had ducked into the coffee shop to dodge her Mom. She had barrelled into him so fast that she had knocked the tray of coffees flying out of his hands and onto the floor. Instead of being angry, he had just stood there, looking at her as though spellbound.
Kelly was still unsure what he had seen in her on that day. She knew she had a nice figure, even if the boys her age thought that her breasts were too small. 'Aspirins on an ironing board, one had said once. Her bright auburn hair tumbled around her shoulders, framing a heart-shaped face with emerald green eyes and moist ruby lips. When she walked, her long legs moved with the fluid grace of a dancer and when she smiled, well Rod always told her that she lit the room like sunlight bursting through the clouds.
Kelly paused at the entrance to the apartment building where Rod lived and, hitching her backpack more comfortably onto her shoulders, climbed the stairs. The hallway outside Rod's apartment door was deserted, but it was well-lit and warm. Kelly leaned against the door, making herself comfortable and dug into her backpack, pulling out her personal CD player and a book, from beneath her clothes.
She stayed that way for almost three hours, listening to music and reading, occasionally dozing a little. Kelly jerked awake as she heard Rod's familiar footsteps on the stairs. Scrambling to her feet, Kelly waited, nervously, for him to round the corner. Swallowing the lump that formed in her throat, she smiled. Rod just stood, for a few moments, looking at her. Taking two steps towards Kelly, rod opened his arms wide and caught her, as she leapt into his arms, hugging her tightly.
Kelly showered his face with moist, pecking kisses, brushing her lips over his mouth and eyelid as she giggles in his embrace. At last, she opened her mouth, pressing her lips to his and inviting him to slide his tongue past her teeth and explore her yielding lips. Rod pressed her against his body, kissing her hungrily, his tongue sliding past her lips and probing deeply. Kelly sucked on the tip of his tongue, drawing it into her mouth and teasing it with the tip of her own tongue. Gasping, they broke apart.
"Kelly, darling, where have you come from? What are you doing here?" Rod asked.
"Rod, I couldn't stay away, I want to be with you." she laughed and sobbed her reply.
Rod twisted the key in his door and pushed it open, leading Kelly inside. She dropped her backpack in the hallway and followed him into his lounge. Rod sat on the sofa and Kelly dropped onto the cushions next to him, snuggling close and drawing his arm around her shoulders. Kelly stretched upwards and planted a moist kiss on the angle of his jaw and then tightened her arms around him.
"Do your parents know where you are?" he asked.
"I'll tell them tomorrow. Right now I just want to be with you." she replied.
"I'll sleep in here on the sofa, you can have the bed." Rod told her.
"I don't want you to sleep in here while I'm on my own in your bed." Kelly whispered into his ear.
Rod tilted her head upwards, so that he could look into her eyes. In their emerald depths he read desire and love, no hint of deviousness or manipulation. The message of her moist lips and desiring gaze was too potent for him to ignore. Slowly he brought his lips to hers, tasting the sweetness of her kiss and feeling the warm invitation of her mouth as he slipped his tongue inside.
"Do you know what you're saying?" he murmured into her ear.
"Of course I know. I want to make love with you." Kelly whispered back.
Rod answered her with a deep, tender kiss, feeling her lips part and tasting her tongue. He slid his hands over her back, pulling her closer and feeling her moulding her body against his. There was a burning flare of lust, tightening his belly and making his cock stiffen in his pants. She groaned softly into his mouth, feeling her nipples hardening into swollen points, and tightened her arms around him. Kelly moved her mouth away from Rod's leaving him breathless, his heart pounding in his chest.
