His <3

My hips swayed to the music, tracing a pattern of eight on the floor just like I was taught in my dance lessons, for whole body following the rhythm. I did it unconsciously as I leaned across the bar.1

“Jack Daniels and coke please,” I shot the cute barman a sexy grin.2

“On the house” he whispered in my ear, as I leant further forward to give him the money. He was grinning and he threw me a wink while I just smiled. He clearly thought this was going somewhere.3

He was just about to say something again much to the annoyance of the rest of the queue, when I heard him.4

No, not the barman, though he was cute. I mean the guy that all the girls loved at college. I turned towards his voice as he cut through the crowd, forgetting in an instant the expectant, crestfallen guy behind me and my free drink.5

I saw the group of girls first, all smashed together but unwilling to give up their place in the moving crowd. All shorts skirts and barely their tops, bleached blonde hair and black lined eyes. His head stood well above them, he was looking about the dark room, his deep chocolate hair swinging about his head, the disco lights dancing in his eyes.6

I could see the look of impatience written across his smooth face as he tried to walk through the expanding crowd. He always had a crowd, I was used to it by now.7

“Jerk,” muttered the barman behind me about the guy, I turned just in time to see him scowl before I turned back to look at the angel, a smile playing across my lips.8

Then he saw me, it was like the silent laugh I’d just done had called to him across the room, he instantly turned and found my eyes from above his onslaught of fans.9

His face lit up. His smile radiating along the sound waves and into my heart, making it beat irregularly and actually a little painfully. It was truly breathtaking; he was truly breathtaking. His sparkling eyes on fire, he had already forgotten the crowd of fawning girls at his feet, the group of lads who always followed and mimicked him cause they thought that made them cool. He pushed through them and they turned to follow him again before they stopped, seeing me against the counter. I could feel the hatred for me emanating from their very souls, if they had any that is. But I didn’t care, he was worth it, I was hardly popular to begin with.10

His violet eyes never left mine as he continued his way across, his cheeky smile still lingering on his lips. I could feel it echoed in mine.11

“Yeah, but he’s my jerk,” I mumbled back to the barman just as he reached me. His arms reached for my body between the empty space between us, drawing me close into him. Our bodies the perfect fit, my head just resting under his tall chin, and my waist the perfect height for his hands.12

He tilted my chin up towards him and I heard a thousand moans from all around me, angst and longing clouding the air. He smiled again, gentler this time, cause he didn’t to be sexy when he already held me in his arms.13

I tried to resist him for a few seconds longer; it was a personal game I played. I’d never won yet.14

I was already on my tiptoes, straining upwards to find his delicious mouth, my hands somehow weaving around his neck and into his hair. He breathed gently against my scarlet tresses, I could feel him trembling beneath me as if he was the one with something to lose.15

He kissed my earlobe then bit it, sending shivers down my spine, a moan escaped my lips, and I was already wet. He didn’t laugh softly like some people might, knowing they had me in the palm of their hand; he already knew how serious I was taking this.16

He traced a row of kisses down my throat, holding me so tight that he could lift me up just to get a better taste. My fists made knots in his hair. We could have been anywhere now, it was too late and it had been too long.17

With one of his legs wrapped around mine to keep me upright, his other knee slid between my legs smoothly brushing against my special place, I was gushing now I could feel it. His tongue traced my neck all the way back up to my face leaving little kisses in its wake. My hips thrust involuntarily, kneading his erection against my body. I made him gasp and it made me smile.18

His lips brushed mine, faster than normal. But then, this wasn’t normal. We’d been apart far too long while he’d been away, and god had I missed him.19

He was lingering too long just tracing my lips, memorising them again. I bit his bottom lip, it was swollen and juicy and just too tempting. He was shaking as his hand found its way into my curls but he held my head back firmly, like a professional.20

I couldn’t help it, my mouth opened slightly beckoning him in, and he didn’t waste time. Our lips finally mashed together, our tongues flicking out like serpents, exploring each other’s hidden depths. One hand pulled my face closer still and the other drew my body in as he grasped the small of my back, as if he wanted to be one person, one body, rather than two. 21

The tip of my tongue lashed out at his, massaging it under the onslaught of my blows. I bit his lip again; I couldn’t help it. Our bodies bucked beneath us and for a fleeting thought, I hoped we were in time with the music so we could pass it off as dancing. As if.22

His tongue was tracing my bottom lip again as mine felt along his roof of his mouth. He pecked my lips and I knew this round was coming to a close so I pecked him back. I pulled him harder, unwilling to let him go, his firmness pressing into my lower stomach, trying to puncture me I was sure.23

“Anna.” He whispered the name into my cheek. I melted there and then, right on that spot, his strong arms the only things keeping me on my feet. Well this was a party; I might as well look drunk, if on happiness and love if not alcohol.24

His hands reached up and untwined mine from his hair as our foreheads rested against one another. His fingers wove into mine. Perfect fit. His knee crept out from my dark place and I sagged as if he’d withdrawn himself from me. Our legs unseparated but we stood so close, we might as well have still been one.25

Just holding each other, unwilling to let go.26
