Chapter 29
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Caleb
“ W hat’s in here?” Lili asks, frowning as she turns the handle to my special room, finding it locked. “Is this the room you don’t let anyone into?” She quirks a brow as she glances at me over her shoulder. “Gigi said it’s some kind of sex den. Is it?”
My lips tip up. “That girl has her mind in the gutter.” I walk forward and stretch my arm up, pressing my thumb into the little lockbox over the door. “No, it’s not a sex den.” The lock pops open, and I extract the key. “You are the first person I’m letting into this room,” I truthfully admit as I turn the key in the lock.
“Joshua hasn’t even seen it?”
I shake my head. “When I set this up, a couple months after we moved into this building, I made a vow that the only person who would ever enter this space was you.”
Her entire face lights up. “Now I’m really intrigued.”
I open the door and switch on the light, stepping back to let her enter first. “After you.”
Her eyes almost pop out of her head as she surveys the small square room, taking in all the framed pictures on the wall. Crystal lilies in vases are dotted on display tables around the room, surrounding the small two-seater couch with a coffee table situated in front of the open fireplace. A shelving unit on the right stores books, boardgames, and framed photos of Lili and me taken over the years. There are pictures ranging from when we were kids right up to today.
“Oh my god, Caleb.” Her voice comes out all breathy, and it instantly stirs things down south. I quickly adjust myself while I watch her reaction. I have imagined it many times, and now the moment is here, it’s a little surreal. Her hand covers her mouth as she walks to the left wall. “These are…this is…” She’s all choked up, and emotion glimmers in her eyes.
Walking up behind her, I wrap my arms around her waist and rest my chin on top of her head. “Every picture and hand-drawn card you have ever given me.”
She trails her finger over the little raised tabs underneath each frame. It’s stamped with the year she drew it. Air trickles out of her mouth in rattled spurts as we move silently down the wall while she inspects every piece of her custom artwork. “You planned ahead,” she whispers, skimming her fingers over the empty space above last year’s tab.
“It was clearly presumptuous of me.” I attempt to make light of it, but looking at the empty space where last year’s birthday drawing and card should be always brings a painful lump to my throat.
“No.” She turns around in my arms, fixing me with glassy eyes. “That’s on me. I’m so sorry, Caleb. I should have spoken to you about those girls at the time it happened instead of freezing you out.” Pain flares in her eyes. “It killed me avoiding your birthday party, and I…” She reaches up, dragging her fingers through my stubble, and I barely manage to stifle a moan. “I still have them.”
“Have what?” I ask, struggling to focus on the conversation with the way her soft fingertips are caressing my face.
“Your birthday card and drawing.” Steely reserve is etched across her face. “Come up to the apartment tomorrow, and I’ll give them to you.” She turns back to the wall, lowering her hands from my face, and I try not to pout. “I can’t believe you did this, Caleb. I’m in shock.”
I hug her closer to my body. “I told you it’s always been you. This is my special space. When I’m feeling low or in need of cheering up, I come in here and play music or read as I look at every piece of art you’ve ever given me, and it has always soothed my soul. You’re my happy place, Lil. My home. My comfort. My joy.”
“Caleb.” She spins around again, throwing her arms around my neck. “I am so incredibly, deeply in love with you. I have never been so happy. I pinch myself every day when I wake because I wanted this for so long and now it’s happening and some days it all feels like a dream.”
“It’s real, angel. We’re the real deal, and I’m going nowhere.”
We spend a couple of hours drinking wine and reminiscing over old times while Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley play in the background. Having her in here feels like everything has come full circle. It feels like I’m exactly where I belong, and my life is finally complete.
I cannot wait to make Elisa Salerno my wife, and I vow to begin planning a Paris trip so I can propose and finally see the lily ring I bought for her on her finger.
I turn on my bedside lamp and switch off the main lights in my bedroom as I wait for Lili to emerge from the bathroom. It’s the first night she is staying over at my place, and I’m more excited than a kid on Christmas morning—at the prospect of just holding her in my arms. I’m not expecting anything. I’m letting her set the pace, and I refuse to put her under any pressure, especially when she’s taking exams.
The bathroom door opens, and I peel back the covers making room for my love. Elisa pads toward the bed, and my eyes widen as I drink her in. She’s wearing a thigh-skimming silk and lace nightie that glides over her gorgeous body, leaving little to the imagination.
My cock instantly springs to life. “Fuck.” I rub at my lips as I watch a pretty flush stain her cheeks. “Are you trying to kill me, Lil?”
She giggles as she climbs into the bed and crawls over my lap. “That’s not what I had in mind.” Leaning down, she kisses me passionately, and I grab her ass through her nightie, groaning as she grinds shyly on top of my erection.
“What are you up to, angel?” I ask, nuzzling my lips against her neck.
“I’m ready,” she whispers, placing her hands on my shoulders and peering at me with lust-drenched eyes.
“Ready for what, Lili? I need you to say the words.”
“Make love to me, Caleb. I want to know what it feels like to have you moving inside me.” She rocks her hips, and her panty-covered crotch slides against my dick making me painfully hard.
“Could we compromise?” I ask, running my fingers up her bare thighs. I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but my gut hasn’t led me astray yet. “I think we should build up to sex until I know you’re definitely ready. We don’t need to rush into it. We can do other things first. I want to plan something special for your first time so it’s a memory we always cherish.”
“Oh.” Her blush deepens. “What other things?”
“Take your nightie off, and I’ll show you.” My hands glide under the silky material, and my fingers brush against her crotch. My dick is like steel behind my pajama pants, and I’m liable to come from just having her sit on me.
She audibly gulps as her fingers move to the hem of her nightdress, and she’s trembling a little.
“Lili.” I gently grasp her wrist and sit up straighter with her still in my lap. “You set the pace, my love. Remember?” She nods. “We don’t have to do this now. We can just sleep. There is no ticking clock.”
“I want to progress things, Caleb, and maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m not ready yet for sex, but I need you. I … you make me so horny, and I know you’re horny too, and I want to take care of you.”
Gawd, this girl. She’s unbelievably sweet, and I don’t know what I did in life to deserve her, but I offer up thanks every day.
“Do you trust me, angel?” I ask before leaning in to press a tender kiss to her soft lips.
“With my life, Caleb.”
“Then trust me to know what you need and to give it to you.” Tension lifts from her gaze as she nods. “Good girl.” I claim her lips in a deep kiss, holding her body close to mine as our mouths take and take. I don’t push, content to kiss her without urgency until she gradually loosens up in my arms. Then I up the ante, kissing her more passionately and driving my tongue into her mouth. Lili moans, pivoting her hips on top of me as my arms tighten around her back, and I thrust my dick against her soft place.
Moving fast, I flip us so she’s lying flat on the bed underneath me. Nudging her legs wide, I settle in between them, gently thrusting against her as we continue kissing, silently rejoicing when she writhes against me, pressing her pussy into my dick and whimpering into my mouth. Slowly, I lower the straps on her nightie, continuing to kiss her as I reveal her bare breasts. Without breaking our lip-lock, I cup her boobs. Both are a perfect handful, and I marvel at her soft silky flesh and the feel of her nipples pebbling beneath my touch. My mouth glides from her lips, down to her neck, her collarbone, and lower as I move my body down the bed. My lips close over one nipple as my fingers toy with the other.
“Oh god, Caleb.” She arches her back as I alternate between both tits while dry humping the bed and leaking precum like a reborn teenager. “That feels so good.”
“I love these,” I say, kneeling between her legs and fondling her tits in my hands.
“I know they’re not very big, but?—”
I cover her mouth with my hand. “Nuh-uh.” I shake my head. “You’re perfect, Lili. Every single part of you is perfect. You were made for me.”
Whatever fleeting self-consciousness just reared its head disappears in her happy smile, and I breathe a sigh of relief. “I want to see the rest of you. May I?” Gripping her nightie, I wait for her consent, which she readily gives. I shimmy the material down her body and toss it aside, leaving her in flimsy lace panties. “Trust me, angel?” I lift her legs and spread them before planting her feet on the mattress, exposing her to me.
“Always, Caleb.”
I press a kiss to her mound through her panties, smiling as her hips jerk and a small “oh” leaks from her lips. “Has anyone ever kissed you here?” I inquire, chanting “please say no” over and over in my head.
She shakes her head, and I silently fist pump the air. “He never did that, just with his, um, fingers, and I, um, I sucked his dick.”
I’m instantly seeing red imagining her lush mouth anywhere near that asshole’s cock, but I force my anger aside because I can’t use it against her. Lili isn’t the one I’m angry with. “He’s a selfish prick,” I say, rubbing her through the lace. “But it’s good news for me because I get to claim this first.”
“That feels good,” she whispers as I push down on her clit with my thumb while my fingers glide up and down her slit. Lili throws her head back, and she’s like a goddess with her gorgeous hair fanned out on the pillow, her flushed cheeks, swollen lips, and chest arched, nipples taut and standing at attention. Hooking my thumbs in the sides of her panties, I watch her face as I slowly lower her legs to the bed and drag them down her body. Elisa lifts her head, her heated gaze meeting mine as I discard her panties and stretch her legs wider, pushing her knees up toward her chest.
I lie on my stomach in between her legs staring at the holy grail. “Look at you,” I say before blowing on her glistening pussy. “You’re so fucking beautiful.” I part her folds and stare at her virgin cunt with possession and dark desire. The animal inside me wants to conquer and devour, but I keep that beast caged, knowing Lili deserves the gentlest touch.
“Are you going to look at me all day or kiss me like you promised?” she asks, and my chest rumbles with laughter.
I fix her with amused eyes. “So, it’s gonna be like that, huh?” I slowly glide my finger up and down her slit. She almost lifts off the bed and her arms collapse onto the mattress as she moans loudly. “Be as demanding as you like, Lil. Tell me what you want,” I say before licking a path through her folds. Her whimpering response almost has me coming on the spot. My dick is rock hard and oozing precum, dampening the front of my sleep pants.
“More, Caleb,” she pants, thrusting her hips as I leisurely roll my tongue up and down her slit.
“Yes, ma’am.” I drive my tongue inside her tight walls, groaning as her taste explodes on my tongue like the sweetest nectar. I’m dry humping the bed as I plunge my tongue in and out of her innocent cunt while my fingers lightly play with her swollen clit. Lili’s head is thrown back in passion, and I reach a hand up, flicking one nipple and then the other with my thumb and pointer finger.
“Caleb!” she screams, arching her back more as I pick up my pace, thrusting my tongue in and out with fervor. “That feels so good. Don’t stop, baby. Please don’t stop.”
I add a finger to her pussy, driving it inside her in sync with the thrusts of my tongue, and then I rub her clit harder, pressing down as I feel her walls clench around me. Her legs press against the side of my face as I work her harder, and then she cries out, moaning and screaming my name as her thighs almost strangle my face. Her hips buck up, and her body wriggles and writhes as she shatters on my tongue. I stay with her through her climax, lapping at her juices until I’ve sucked her dry.
When she’s finally sated, I crawl over her body and plant my lips on hers, letting her taste herself on me as my fingers thread through her hair. “How was that, my love?” I purr, trailing my lips down the side of her gorgeous face.
“The best goddamned feeling in the entire world.” Lili grins at me before shoving me down on the bed and flipping on top of me.
My eyes drink in her naked body with raw hunger. “You’re so beautiful, Lil.” I squeeze her ass cheeks as I lick my lips, imagining them wrapped around her nipples. “You’re perfect.”
“I want to see you,” she demands, shimmying her way down my body.
“Go for it, angel.” I tuck my hands under my head and lift my hips, letting her pull my sleep pants down my legs.
“That will never fit inside me,” she says, examining my dick up close and personal with a look that is part intrigue and part horror.
A laugh bursts from my chest. “Trust me, angel. It’ll fit, and you’ll love it.”
Tentatively, she touches my cock, and I jerk against her hand. Her fingers curl halfway around the base of my shaft. “You’re beautiful.” Her gaze is full of awe, and it does wonders for my ego.
Despite the torture, I let her explore my cock and my balls, groaning loudly when her fingers rub against my taint.
“Do you like that?”
“I like everything you do to me,” I pant as my hips jerk when her tongue touches the tip of my dick. She gives a few exploratory licks, and it’s part heaven, part hell. She begins tentatively stroking my shaft, and I place my hand over hers, moving faster and showing her how I like it. Lying back, I let her work me over, fighting the urge to come because I want to savor the moment.
“Aagh,” I call out when her mouth closes over the tip of my cock, and she slowly glides her lips up and down my erection. I show her how to hold my skin tight at the base and stroke me up and down while her lips work their magic. Lili is an eager student and a fast learner, and watching her head bob over my dick is all it takes to feel a familiar tingle in my spine and a tightness in my balls. “I’m going to come. Pull back if you don’t want me to come in your mouth.” That’s a lot to ask of a virgin, and I don’t have any expectations.
Her mouth suctions harder on my shaft, and she relaxes her jaw, swallowing me farther. I roar her name as my dick spurts in her mouth, ejecting ropes of salty cum down her throat. She stays latched on until I’m spent before releasing me from her mouth with a pop. She sidles up beside me, propping up on one elbow and peering down at me with bright eyes and flushed cheeks. “Was that okay?”
“It was more than okay.” I clasp the nape of her neck. “You’re a natural, Lili, and I love you so much.” We meet halfway as our lips collide and our limbs tangle, and I decide I never want to get out of this bed.
