Part 12 (1/2)

He opened the front of her jeans and pushed his hand down below her underwear, making her squirm in her seat. His fingers found exactly what they sought, and he applied just the right pressure.

”I can't! Not in broad daylight,” she said.

”You can and you will.”

G.o.d. She closed her eyes and bit her lip. He moved his fingers over her, feeling her increased wetness at his touch.

”I'm not going to stop until you're there.”

He loved making her come, making her lose control from his touch.

”This is only the start. I want you every way tonight, Laura, I want all of you.”

She didn't know exactly what he meant but she knew she could trust him. Her breathing was getting faster, she was almost too sensitive beneath his fingers, but he didn't relent.

It was such direct stimulation that it didn't take him long to bring her over the edge. She felt her face flush with heat.

He glanced at her. ”You are so beautiful when you're aroused.”

It was the first time she had stayed in a proper hotel. She wanted to look around at everything, but he threw her on the bed.

”Finally.”

Her heart was already racing for him, she needed more than what he had done to her in the car.

”After a week without you this will probably be over in seconds, but we have all night,” he said.

Afterward she lay in his arms, completely and utterly happy. She still found it hard to believe she was with him. He was so good looking, so intelligent, so tall and strong. So adult, compared to boys of her own age. What did he see in her? She wasn't even one of the glamorous girls at school. There were a couple of sixth form girls who practically looked like models.

Yet he loved her and wanted her.

Laura turned onto her side and looked at his face, leaning on her elbow. He opened his eyes. ”What is it?”

She lent over him and kissed his lips. She played with them, nibbling his bottom lip. Then while he lay there she worked her way down his body. Down his neck, past his collarbone. Over the hard, defined planes of his chest. His stomach with the trail of dark hair leading her lower.

She hadn't ever done what she planned to do, and had no real idea how to do it, but she wanted to make him feel as he made her feel. He was already hard again from her kisses over his body, and she wondered at the size of him. They didn't cover this in Biology.

She took him in her mouth, kneeling over him. His skin tasted salty but it wasn't bad. Her hair fell down in a curtain, brus.h.i.+ng against his stomach. He pushed it back, wanting to watch her.

Not really knowing what to do except to try and stimulate him as much as she could with her tongue, she moved her head down and tried to take him deeper into her mouth. She swirled her tongue around him and he groaned.

By instinct she got into a kind of rhythm, moving her head, hand, and tongue on him, not really knowing where she was going but aware that she was having more and more effect on him. Then his hips bucked and he pulled her head off him and she watched as he came. She had never seen it before.

”Where did you learn how to do that?”

She was embarra.s.sed to tell him it was the first time she had tried it.

”But how did you know what to do?” he asked.

”Magazines and stuff, you know.” Susie had also told her a few things, but she didn't mention this to him. He knew that the others knew about them, after all she needed their help to be able to see him, but he didn't know exactly what details she shared.

The Italian restaurant was crowded due to it being the weekend. The lighting was dim, with candles on each table. They had deliberately chosen somewhere not far from the hotel.

It was a day of firsts: after the hotel, this was the first time Laura had been out with him in public. She had initially felt nervous but he was so easy to be with.

They shared a pizza and got onto the topic of Susie. ”We have her to thank for your alibi. It makes me uneasy though, asking one of your school friends to lie,” he said.

Laura explained that Susie didn't care what happened to her.

”She has her future all mapped out. Her uncle's going to give her a job in his business as soon as she's eighteen, and she says she'll get to travel the world.”

”They're in wine aren't they?”

”Yes. Her parents want her to go to university but she says she can do that later on. Business studies or commerce.”

Susie was so clear-sighted about what she wanted. None of the others had nearly such a definite idea of what they planned to do. Margery thought she would probably become a teacher and Charlotte still hoped for something in sport but Laura herself had no idea beyond going to university.

”Oxford or Cambridge?”

”G.o.d no, I don't think so. Only a few people go for that every year.”

”You could easily do so, you're already in all top sets,” he said. ”What would you do, English?”

”Probably. I wondered about History for a while. If I take them both for A-levels I can decide later on.”

The waiter came to top up their wine. Laura didn't usually drink much alcohol. Unlike many of her friends she had never even been drunk. She was already feeling tired and light headed but took a gamble on one more gla.s.s.

”If you do want to do Oxbridge I'll coach you,” he said.

”But you did languages.”

”It's no different, it's all literature. And I'd feel less guilt about taking advantage of you if I was benefitting your education rather than wrecking it.”

Laura's head was swimming from the wine and she felt woozy from tiredness. She just wanted to fall asleep in bed with him but she knew he wanted her badly. The desire was in his eyes even in the restaurant.

She also knew that she would yield under his touch.

Back in the hotel room he soon had her clothes removed and laid her on the bed. He kissed her and caressed her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, touched her between her thighs. Her body instantly responded to his hands, she was defenceless against him, kissing him back, loving him, wanting him.

”Laura, I want you in a different way tonight.”

She wasn't sure at first what he meant. She had an idea but it wasn't until he moved his hand to a lower place that she understood. The anxiety showed in her face.

”We'll go really slowly. And only when you're ready,” he said.
