Chapter 19
Felix
I felt like a cat who had got the cream, knowing that Alisha was waiting for me in the lounge. As badly as I wanted her, I would try to take things slow since it would be our first night sleeping in the same bed. That didn’t mean we wouldn’t kiss and cuddle, because I knew I didn’t want to let go of her tonight. As I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror, I realised something. I looked like a changed man, a happier version of myself. The part of me I had lost months ago. I didn’t want anything to ruin this happiness but a pang hit me as I knew Alisha would be leaving Austria soon. I had to make the most of my time with her.
I couldn’t keep the beautiful woman waiting, couldn’t waste any more seconds standing in this bathroom whilst she was waiting for me. I wondered whether she was nervous too. It was the first time having her in my home.
When I found her sitting on the sofa, she was an absolute vision. Her shapely legs caught my eye and very quickly I got lost in erratic thoughts of them locked around my waist. I imagined what it’d be like to feel them locked with mine in bed, feeling her warm body against me. To be honest, I’d imagined it for days and now it would come true.
“Thank you,” Alisha said as I handed her a pair of pyjamas and a toothbrush. Her fingers brushed mine as we made the exchange and yes, I nearly fucking lost it at the simple touch.
“Are you sure you’re okay being here? I can always drive you back home and—”
“Sh, stop talking.” Alisha silenced me by placing her luscious lips on mine. She didn’t have to tell me twice as I brought my hands either side of her face, pulling her closer. I loved the way she let out a small gasp as our tongues touched. I wanted to taste her, all of her.
Especially down there. I wanted to make her squirm with my tongue, to push her legs apart and make her scream my name.
I didn’t need to look down at my crotch to know I had an erection right now. I wouldn’t do anything without her consent though. All she had to do was say the word, and I would grant her whatever she wanted.
The kiss was divine and I couldn’t help but grab the back of her neck, angling her even closer to me so that our bodies could almost merge into one. Her fingers dug into my hair, tugging gently which caused me to groan. In response to this, I rested my hands on the small of her back, just shy of her glorious ass. As if she was reading my mind, Alisha let go of my hair to grab my hands and guide them towards her ass.
“You can touch me there,” she whispered against my lips.
“I’ll only do whatever you are comfortable with, sweetheart,” I said, hoping she knew that. I was a man of honour and wanted her to fully trust me, to know that I’d take care of her. Give her the world if I could. But only at a pace that didn’t scare her. It was early days but this was special. I could tell she was a diamond and I didn’t want to lose her.
Finally, our lips left one another and I took her to my bedroom, every step causing my heart rate to increase.
She was going to be in my bed.
I hoped she wouldn’t mind me sleeping with no shirt on, as that’s how I usually slept.
“Very nice room,” Alisha finally spoke as she spun in a slow circle to take it in. Her eyes scanned the wardrobe I had in the corner and then to the bed, which thankfully I had made earlier today. Simple, grey sheets with extra pillows and a dark green throw just in case it got cold. To be honest it was December, so it was pretty cold.
“Thank you,” I said, slipping my shoes off. I could see she was clutching the pyjamas closely to her and found it adorable how she hadn’t let go of them.
“Do you mind if I use your bathroom? I just need to get out of this dress and wipe off my make-up,” Alisha asked, pointing to her face.
“Of course, just turn right and you’ll see it. There’s toothpaste in there and some face wipes if you want to use them. I have extra for my sister, since she likes to come here a lot,” I told her. In fact, I had quite a few of Mira’s things here but honestly, it didn’t bother me.
“Won’t be long. Be back in a bit,” Alisha said and then turned to leave. At least I had time to compose myself and smooth out my hair that was now standing up on all ends. I removed my clothing until I was only in my boxers but then I decided to put on a t-shirt as again, I didn’t want to make Alisha uncomfortable. This was our first night together-I wanted it to go smoothly.
I placed my phone on charge and slid under the duvet, sighing as my head hit the pillow. I was quite tired and knew I’d get a good night’s sleep. I still wanted to cook dinner for Alisha tomorrow and also since she was staying the night, breakfast too. I really wanted to impress this woman and also treat her like a queen.
Within a few minutes, she arrived back in my bedroom and looked even more beautiful than before. I admired her hair which she had tied back into a ponytail and the way my pyjamas looked perfect on her. I beckoned her to join me and she did, letting out a little shiver.
“Cold?” I asked her, taking hold of her hands and rubbing them between my palms. Shit, she was freezing.
“I’ll warm up next to you. You exude warmth.” Alisha smiled, pressing her body closer to mine. Her toes were freezing as they touched my bare legs and this only made me bundle her up more in the duvet.
“I hope you sleep well, sweetheart,” I replied, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. She let out a small yawn and then kissed me gently on my lips.
“Honestly, your bed is really comfortable so I think I’ll be out like a light.” She chuckled and I didn’t blame her. I loved my bed too. But I loved it even more with her in it.
“I’m glad you’re here,” I told her.
“Me too. I like you, Felix.”
“I like you too,” I admitted, but I knew my feelings were growing even deeper and I could tell I was starting to fall for her. I still felt a little guarded with my emotions and I hadn’t yet told Alisha about my past, with my birth mother. I was hoping she wouldn’t run for the hills when I told her, that she wouldn’t see me as a fuck up, but I tried not to focus on that now, when I had her here with me. She had already fallen asleep, her hands resting on her chest. She looked so perfect and I couldn’t help but grin, knowing I’d get to wake up next to her tomorrow morning. This was heaven, but did I deserve it?
“Goodnight,” I whispered and then closed my eyes, falling into my own peaceful slumber.
