He let his hand slide up and down her side as he waited for the light to change to green. He could feel her squirm underneath his fingertips and the thought of her growing wet aroused him.
Marcus knew she couldn't withstand his caresses and was at the very moment creaming her panties. It was as if her body had imprinted itself onto his DNA. He knew every one of her spots and even a few that she wasn't aware of herself. Yet more than her body, he loved her mind. He thought about all the time they'd spent just talking and as gay as it sounded, he liked that almost as much as seeing her naked. Okay, he said almost, he was a nice guy but he wasn't dead. 'Cause the sight of her naked and ready for him was the beginning and end of all things. He spent so much time with the uglies of the world and then to come to a woman, who didn't seem to care that he couldn't really discuss his job with her, made him feel pretty damn special.
HONK! HONK! Marcus jumped slightly at the ugly sound of the intruding car horn. Muttering obscenities he pressed the car into motion. Glancing at her, he saw the amusement in her eyes. Oh, she was in for it when he got her home.
Growling he told her just that. Being the woman she was, she simply looked at him with sly lust in her eyes and licked her lips. The sight of her small pink tongue was almost more than he could take. Thankfully his apartment wasn't that far from here and he pressed on the accelerator to get there.
He quickly pulled into the small parking lot in front of his brownstone and turned to look at her. She wasn't looking at him as he figured she would be. Instead she was gazing at the building in front of her. He couldn't read her expression and for some reason the thought of her not liking his place filled him with feelings of dread.
As Marcus pulled the car to a stop in front of his building my stomach was suddenly filled with butterflies. As much as I'd bitched and moaned before, at least then I'd been able to compartmentalize out relationship. Or should I say the lack of a relationship. I'd still had an easy out clause. Then I'd still been able to thrust the lack of personal knowledge up in his face, now not so much.
Now I didn't know what we were. He'd dropped the "B" word with Larry but I had a feeling that had been the jealousy speaking. The thought of Marcus as a boyfriend was laughable. Nothing about him brought to mind the cute and cuddly ideas of a boyfriend. I can't imagine going to the movies with him and cuddling in the back row, eating candy and giggling like kids as I had with previous boyfriends. The thought of Marcus eating candy, hell even sugar, was shocking.
"Well, whatcha think?" His voice interrupted my thoughts. A strange element was in his voice and I turned to face him. My eyes caressed his features. He is so handsome, I thought yet once again. He could take my breath away and had quite a few times.
"Think?" I asked, my thoughts muddling like always when faced head on with his lusciousness.
"Yeah. I know it's not great but it is rent controlled and my precinct is just down the block. I-"
I leaned over, placed my finger against his lips to halt the flow of words. "I think it is great."
Suddenly I knew what the look before had been about. He'd been afraid I was going to be disappointed. Why I wasn't sure, but I took a quick look at the building before me and indeed liked what I saw.
Typical of New York, the building was an apartment building not unlike my own in fact. Yet Marcus' looked it was older than mine by a few years. The vines covering the outside added a certain charm to the neighborhood that my 14th story building seemed to lack.
"I love it. I wished you'd brought me before. I could have used this building in my new book. It looks like just the place that a displaced socialite would live." I turned smiling eyes on him. I could visibly see the tension release from his body. "Why did you think I wouldn't like it?" I asked quietly as I slipped my hand behind his neck to massage the muscles there.
"Mmmm, that feels good. I'm not sure why I thought you wouldn't like the place. It's a lot older than your building and it isn't in the same kinda location yours is. I mean, I'm no where near downtown, but like I said, its rent controlled and plus I don't have to worry about the tourists as much."
As he talked I watched his neck muscles move and silently moaned at the sight. I could just imagine that beautiful lips caressing mine, running up and down my neck, drawing my flesh between them. I moaned lowly but not low enough. He turned those beautiful blue eyes on me and in an instant he knew my thoughts. A slow sly smile crossed his lips and he grew quiet. I leaned my head back against the head rest and just looked at him. I think I could have stared at him for hours, had in fact watched him quite a lot as we were together.
"Whatcha thinking about," he whispered playfully.
I blushed, still unable to talk about the things that had come so easily on the internet and even when I wanted to shock him. However when I wanted to tell him my fantasies I still blushed and giggled like a 12 year old with her first crush.
"Nothing," I said, unable to put my thoughts into words. "Are you ready to go inside?"
"Nope, at least not until you tell me what made those soft cheeks of yours suddenly flame as red as a fire truck." He smirked at me and I knew then what this was. He was punishing me, just like he said he would for the Larry incident.
"I can't," I whispered, knowing that if I did, I'd never be able to look him the face once again.
Marcus sighed, cutting his eyes away from me, yet before he did, I was able to see the disappointment in them. The thought of him disappointed in me cut me to the bone. I didn't want to make him sad or unhappy with me, yet I knew that if he knew what I was thinking, I'd be so embarrassed. Yet the longer I sat in the silence of the car, feeling the oppressive weight of disappointment, I didn't care if I got embarrassed. I knew in my mind that fantasies between lovers ever normal, hell, our relationship was anything but normal yet I was afraid that with those few whispered words from me, he'd look at me with a whole new light and that made me scared as hell.
Looking at him from beneath my lashes, I murmured, "If I tell you, you have to promise not to laugh, cause I'm going to kick your ass if you laugh and I'd rather not do that right now."
