He grabbed my hands in his and earnestly searched my eyes. “I promise you that I will never do anything like that again. If I am stressed about school, family, us or whatever, I will talk to you about it and let you know how I am feeling. I don’t want to you lose you Emma, I don’t want to lose what we had. Please, please forgive me.”
I could see tears in his eyes and I had to fight to hold back my own. I wanted to be with him, I didn’t want to break up with him. So I was willing to trust his words and give him another chance. I stared at the ground for a minute and then I raised my eyes to meet his, and when I spoke my voice was very small. “You can’t do this to me again Caleb, it’s not fair to me or you. You almost ruined this.”
His eyes were wide as he responded to me with a hint of hope in his voice. “I know and I am so sorry Emma, it will never happen again.”
He closed the space between us as he stepped toward me and pulled me close, his eyes eagerly searching mine. “You mean the world to me, you know?” Then he smoothed the hair out of my eyes and gently caressed my cheek with the back of his finger and his face became very serious. “I love you Emma. I love you so much.”
Butterflies fluttered uncontrollably in my belly as his words washed over me. Did he really just tell me that he loves me? Suddenly, any doubts I had about him were gone and I felt really secure letting him know how I felt about him. I couldn’t hold back my smile as happiness engulfed me. “I love you too Caleb.”
The grin on his face was enormous and he held me so tight that I almost couldn’t breathe. He pulled back a bit, gently kissed me on the lips and whispered into my ear. “You make me so happy.”
I pulled back and looked at him and smiled. “Ditto.”
His lips met mine again, this time with more heat and more passion as his tongue slid over mine, teasing and tasting. I pulled him closer to me and a soft sigh escaped my lips as his hands lightly caressed my hips. I almost forgot that we were outside until I heard a car honk. I pulled away and composed myself and looked up at Caleb.
“I don’t want to give everyone a show, do you want to come up for a bit?”
“Yeah, I do.” That deep, sexy voice sent shivers down my spine. He linked his fingers through mine and we walked into my building.
We were the only two in the elevator and as soon as it closed Caleb pressed me against the elevator wall and murmured in my ear. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you. I have missed touching you and holding you. Now I want to taste you.”
Desire clenched my belly, fueled by thoughts of his tongue tasting me everywhere. I rolled my head to the side giving him better access to the soft skin of my neck, his tongue flicking out to tease my earlobe as a breathy moan escaped my lips. He pressed his hips against mine, reached inside my open coat, and his hands followed the curves of my hips around to my backside, pulling my hips further into his. His tongue ran along my lips before diving into my mouth, sliding over my tongue. My arms crawled up around his shoulders and I raked my fingers through his hair and I pulled him closer, pressing my boobs into his chest. I was lost in our reverie when I felt the elevator nearing my floor. I pulled myself away from Caleb just before the door opened and one of my neighbors was standing at the elevator. She gave me a curious look as we passed each other and I could feel that my cheeks were burning. I’m sure we looked like a mess as our hair was disheveled and I know my face was flushed. Oh well, I didn’t care that she saw us, I just wanted to get back to what we were doing in the elevator.
I could barely get my apartment door open fast enough and for the first time, I was happy that I had the place to myself. I went straight to my bedroom and once inside, Caleb closed the door behind him, turned me around, pulled my coat off of me, and pushed me against the wall. He held my face in his hands as his mouth came crashing down on mine, our tongues sliding over each other, tasting and teasing. He pressed his body against mine and I could feel his stiff member through his pants and he let out a soft groan as I moved my hands around to his backside and pulled him even closer to me. He then pulled away and pushed me back, face up, onto my bed. His expression was intense and I could tell that he had one thing on his mind.
He knelt at the foot of the bed and, without saying a word, he pulled off my shoes, my socks and then he unbuttoned my jeans and pulled those off too.
“Sit for me up, love,” he growled. His deep voice was pure sex.
I sat up, and he pulled my sweater off over my head and then swiftly wrapped his arms around me and unhooked my bra. His eyes held mine as he pulled it off of me and I was completely exposed except for my panties.
“Lie down baby,” he whispered. I lay down on the bed and he ran his hands over my breasts down to my soaked panties and slipped a hand inside, lightly stroking my sensitive folds. I arched toward his hand as a gasp escaped my lips. His fingers slid over my hard, sensitive bud, rubbing in circles, while his other hand glided up my body to my mouth and he slipped a finger inside. I sucked gently on his finger and then he slowly pulled it out of my mouth and rubbed my nipple, hardened under his wet touch.
“Lift your hips up for me, love.”
I lifted my hips and he slid my panties off of me. His hands slid slowly back up my legs and grazed my inner thighs and then traced the outline of my sensitive core. I arched my body toward him and felt his lips kissing my inner thighs toward my most sacred place then I felt his glorious tongue reach out, tasting my wetness and licking my swollen bud before drawing it into his mouth. I cried out as his mouth suckled my tender bud and I grabbed the sheet beneath me, wringing it with my hands, as my hips shot off the bed as he licked and sucked me until I thought I was going to pass out. Then I felt him make long slow strokes with his tongue between my swollen folds before his tongue delved into my aching core. A loud moan escaped my lips as I entwined my fingers in his hair and opened my legs wider so that his tongue could reach every inch of me. He flattened his tongue and rubbed back and forth over my swollen bud, applying more pressure with every stroke. He slipped a finger inside of me and then worked one more in and started twisting his fingers, stretching me, and working them in and out of me as his tongue assaulted my swollen bud. I pressed down against his fingers desperate for more. His other hand reached up and kneaded my breast while tweaking and pinching my nipple. The delicious sensations were too much to bear as I felt my orgasm build and then rocket to the surface, my body thrashing about and I cried out as wave after wave of pleasure washed over me.
I lay there panting for air and as the pleasure of my release began to fade, Caleb quickly took off his clothes and rubbed the palms of his hands down my chest, over my breasts and he pinched both nipples between his fingers. He bent down to capture one nipple in his mouth, his teeth lightly grazing the hardened nub, while his other hand kneaded my full breast. I ran my fingers through his hair with one hand and reached down between us with the other hand and wrapped my fingers around his throbbing member. He let out a low growl and grabbed a fistful of my hair, pulled my head back a bit and ran his tongue along my sensitive neck.
“You drive me crazy,” he groaned.
I felt him part my legs with his knee as he reached for the condom that he had placed on the bed earlier, his face tight with desire. The head of his arousal slowly entered my swollen opening and I wrapped my legs around him taking him in deeper. He let out a strained hiss as he groaned in my ear, “Christ Emma, you’re so tight and wet for me.”
A loud moan escaped my lips as I undulated my hips, raising them up and then pulling him deeper inside me. I arched my body, and he looped his arm under my knee sinking deeper into me. I grabbed onto his muscular, taut arms as he hammered me into the mattress. I drew my free leg up and hooked it around him and reached up with one hand and grabbed the rails of my headboard for support as I took the glorious pounding. Our hips fell into a perfect rhythm as he continued to thrust into me, then he reached down between us and pressed his fingers against my sensitive bud and I wasn’t expecting that. The int
ense pounding, coupled with the stroking of my swollen bud, overwhelmed me and I cried out as my body shuddered, thrashing around as waves of pleasure washed over me for the second time.
As I rode out the final waves of ecstasy I looked at Caleb and wanted to take control this time, so I held his gaze and saw the fire in his eyes and I grabbed his arms and turned him over onto the bed and quickly straddled him. He was still rock hard, as I lowered myself onto him and bent down and covered his mouth with mine. His strong hands came up and firmly held my head as his mouth ravaged mine as he thrust up into me. I rode him hard as his hands grabbed my breasts, tweaking my nipples and then ran down over my back down to my round globes, pushing my hips deeper into him. I threw my head back, moaning uncontrollably as he began hammering up into me like a jackhammer. He rolled me over onto my back, grabbed my hair and grazed my neck with his teeth as he pounded me into the mattress. I felt his body tense up and a guttural grunt escaped his lips as his body shuddered and he released inside of me.
Caleb collapsed onto the bed next to me. “Oh, Emma! You are going to kill me! That was incredible!” He was panting for air as the words came.
I giggled at him, as he could barely catch his breath and it felt really good to know that I was doing that to him.
He rolled over to me and kissed me and then looked into my eyes. “I love your curves, you are so damned sexy.”
I could feel that my cheeks were warm and the butterflies fluttered away in my belly. He could just give me a certain look and the butterflies would go crazy. He had such an effect on me, like no one ever had, and I was crazy about him.
“I think you are super sexy also Mr. Morgan, and I’m glad you like what you see.”
His hand gently cupped my face as his eyes searched mine. “I love what I see Emma. I love you.”
I smiled at him. “I love you too.”
“Emma! Are you home?” Kelly’s voice rang out and Caleb looked at me with raised eyebrows.
“Is she going to walk in here?”
I could see that he was bit nervous, and rightfully so, we were both completely naked.
“No, don’t worry, she always knocks.”
Just then we heard her knocking at my door. “Em, are you in there?”
“Yeah, we’re in here. Caleb is with me.” I didn’t want her to just walk in on us so I had to let her know I wasn’t alone, and I am sure she was shocked.
Kelly hesitated and I heard, “Oh! Well, I just wanted to let you know that I was home.”
“Okay!”
Caleb looked at me. “We should probably get dressed and go out there, don’t you think?”
“Yeah, probably, it’s getting kind of late, did you want to stay for dinner?”
“I would baby, but I have school work to do for tomorrow. Can I take a rain check?”
I smiled at him even though I felt disappointed, because I would have loved to have spent even more time with him. “Sure, I understand. I have a bunch of work to do also and I’m sure if you were here I wouldn’t want to do anything.”
We got dressed and made ourselves presentable and talked to Kelly for a few minutes, and then I walked Caleb to the door. I felt a little bit nervous saying goodbye to him because the last time we said goodbye he didn’t call me for weeks. I think he could tell what I was thinking because he stood in the doorway, his eyes searching mine, and lightly placed his hand on my cheek and kissed me.
“I will call you tonight before I go to bed, I promise.”
I had to trust him, I didn’t have a choice. “Okay.”
“I love you, Emma.”
That made my stomach do flips and a big smile spread across my face. “I love you too.”
As soon as I closed the door, Kelly was right beside me.
“Oh my gosh Emma, tell me everything! The last thing I knew, you were flirting with Trevor at Rena’s party. How did this happen with Caleb?”
“He tried to talk to me at the party last night but I pretty much blew him off because he deserved it. I was hanging out with Trevor a little bit and realized that I don’t really like him, and I didn’t want to string him along so I told him we should just be friends. Caleb left the party after I blew him off and then he showed up in our lobby this afternoon begging to talk to me. I went downstairs and we talked for a bit and he sincerely apologized for everything and explained why he hadn’t called, and I decided to forgive him. End of story.”
“Um, I think you left out a huge part, like the reason he hasn’t called for so long?”
“Oh, that.”
Kelly smirked at me. “Yeah, oh that.”
“Okay, okay, I will say that you were right about that. It turns out that he is one of those people that deals with stress in his own kind of way which involves not hanging out with anyone for a while. So it was nothing personal about me in particular, he was just overwhelmed with his feelings for me, and all the work that he has to do for school. But he apologized and promised that he would not disappear on me like that again. So things are very good with us right now.”
“Emma, I am so happy for you, and I knew that everything would be alright because I can tell that that guy really likes you.”
“Actually Kel, he told me that he loves me.” I couldn’t stop the grinning from spreading across my face, I was so happy.
“Oh my gosh, Emma! That is so awesome, I am so happy for you! You told him you love him too, right?”
I felt a little bit shy admitting it, but that was silly, Kelly was my best friend! “Yes, I told him that I love him also.”
“Oh my gosh, you are in love! Like real, serious, super hot kind of love. You totally deserve it!”
“I have to say, it is pretty awesome, and he is so hot!”
We giggled like schoolgirls, chatting and gossiping as we started to make dinner together. She told me all about her night with her boyfriend David and we talked about a day when the four of us could all get together to go out. After dinner we both had a ton of work to do for school so we studied for the rest of the night. My phone rang at about 9:45 and before I answered it, I could feel the butterflies fluttering in my belly.
“Hello?”
His deep voice penetrated the phone line. “Hi beautiful.”
“Hey there. How was the rest of your evening?”
“It’s not quite over yet, I have something that I’m working on and I will probably be up for another couple of hours.”
“Oh, that sucks. I am beat and I probably have another 20 minutes, tops, left in me before I crash.”
“Well I don’t want to keep you up, I just wanted to call you to tell you how sexy you are and what an amazing time I had with you this afternoon, and how happy I am that you decided to give me a second chance.”
“I had an amazing time with you too, Caleb. It was so nice to be with you again, I missed you.” I decided to let him know exactly what I was feeling because there was no way that we could ever get really close if I didn’t open up to him. I didn’t want to have my guard up around him and I felt really comfortable sharing my feelings with him.
“I missed you too Emma, so much. I want to apologize again, I was such an idiot.”
“Baby, I have forgiven you so don’t beat yourself up about it.”
“Okay, okay, so when are we going to see each other again?”
“I am super busy this week, but I can squeeze in dinner one night if you want.”
“Sounds perfect, how does Wednesday night sound?”
“That works for me.”
“Okay, how about I make dinner for us?”
“Oh wow, that would be awesome because then we can spend some quality time together without any other distractions. I’m really looking forward to it Caleb.”
“Me too, love. Well, I better let you get some rest and I am going to get back to work on this project. I will give you a call before Wednesday to confirm times and everything, okay?”
“Okay, sounds good.”
“I love you, Emma.”
“I love you too, Caleb. Don’t stay up too late.”
“I won’t,” he chuckled. “Good night.”
“Good night.”
That night, it literally felt like I fell asleep on cloud nine.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
I felt happier than I had ever felt in a really long time that week at school. I was super focused and felt like a completely new person all over again. Marta told me she wanted some of whatever was in my coffee because she had never see me in such a good mood. We had become much better friends since we had been working together on our project and I really liked her.
“Can’t a girl just be in a good mood every now and then?”
“Of course Emma, but you’re in like, a super good mood. Oh wait a minute! It wouldn’t have anything to do with that gorgeous Caleb Morgan, now would it?”
I gave her a sly sideways grin as we walked to our class together. “Maybe.”
“So, you two worked things out?”
“Yep, we’re all good.”
This time she gave me a sly grin. “Oh, I’ll bet he is!” Then she winked at me.
I giggled at her. “You’re bad!”
Our class was over pretty quickly and then we went to the library to work on one of our projects that was due at the end of the week. I couldn’t wait until the semester was over and I was really looking forward to Thanksgiving break in a few of weeks, I needed some time off.
