Chapter 28 #2
“You were right,” Sienna says after a few moments of silence following the end of the movie. She’s looking up at the opening in the trees.
“Gorgeous, isn’t it?” I stare at her, watching the star’s reflection in her irises.
“Stunning. I’ve never seen so many stars in the sky before.” She looks almost pained when she peels her eyes away from the night sky and looks in my direction. The moment her eyes land on my lips, her pupils dilate, and that pained look disappears. It’s immediately replaced by one of hunger.
“I’ll have to remember to bring you back next summer so you can see the stars again,” I say presumptuously.
“Next summer?” Her brows cinch together slightly. I resist the urge to run my thumb between them to smooth the skin.
Taking her hand, I respond, “Yes. Next summer. If you want to come back, that is.”
Her eyebrows squeeze together even more, and she looks away. But I take note of the fact that her hand is still in mine. When I notice she starts to spiral, I try to ease any discomfort I might’ve caused.
Placing my hand under her chin, I lift it so she’s looking at me again. “Hey, you don’t have to answer that. I’m sorry if it puts you in a weird position. I’ve had a lot of fun with you, Sienna. I’d like to keep having fun if you’ll let me.”
“Fun, right.” She gives a small smile, and mine falters at the sight. Did I say something wrong?
“Did I tell you how gorgeous you look tonight?” I inch closer, pleased when a larger smile takes the place of the small one.
She plants a gentle kiss on my lips. I move my hand to her cheek, but when I try to deepen the kiss, she pulls back. Once again, I’m left wondering if I did something wrong.
“You know, Beth pushed me to accept your offer. She always says that I need to loosen up and not be so focused on my future all the time. It seems like everyone in my life thinks I shouldn’t have such a meticulous ten-year plan.” She speaks almost hesitantly.
“That’s funny. I’ve heard the opposite from Roman. All he wants me to do is plan and be more responsible. Never mind the fact that I have great ideas, but he refuses to listen to them just because they aren’t packed into a pretty presentation for him.”
“Well, it might not hurt your chances at getting a job if you made a small presentation for him,” she says with a grimace.
I laugh at her response. “I suppose I could. It’d be easy now that I have an expert planner by my side.”
She waves off my joke. “I think maybe I’ve done a little too much planning lately.”
Testing the waters, I ask, “And this plan of yours, is it flexible in any way?” In a way that could account for me?
Her eyes widen at my question, but she avoids giving an answer.
“Let’s just enjoy our time together. This trip has been a nice break for me, and I’d rather not think about my plan or even my career for our final days here.
Can we do that? Just enjoy our time together without worrying about what comes after this? ”
“Deal.” Placing my hand on Sienna’s cheek again, I pull her in for a kiss. When I lick her lips, she opens up at my invitation, and our tongues collide, deepening the kiss.
There’s a slight pain in my chest at her dismissal of my question.
If she wants to live in the moment, then I’ll give her a moment to remember.
I’m not sure our partnership was ever fake for me.
As she kisses me with more passion, I realize that somewhere along the way, this stopped being fake for her too.
But I can respect if she isn’t ready to confront that yet. I’ll take whatever she is willing to give me tonight.
Sliding my hand to the back of her neck, I tilt her head to deepen the kiss. She tastes like a mix of the strawberries and champagne we had with dinner, and I savor her sweet taste.
Finally having a chance to do what I’ve wanted all night, I drop my hand to her bare thigh, through the slit of her dress. Playfully teasing her skin, I slide my hand up and down her leg but never quite reach the lace of her underwear.
The teasing must pain her as much as it pains me because, to my surprise, she lifts that leg over me and straddles my lap. Breaking our kiss for a moment, I greedily take her in.
The yellow dress, which perfectly contrasts her smooth brown skin, splits at the slit. It rides up so high that I can see where she is pressed against my cock, a thin layer of lace and denim the only thing separating us.
Sliding my hands up her thighs, we fall back into a kiss. My cock twitches at the taste of her again. When Sienna runs her hand through my hair and gently tugs, I can’t help but grip her hips in response.
She lets out a small moan when my grip causes her hips to rock on my cock. Her wetness seeps through the fabric of my pants as she continues to grind down on my cock. A groan slips free from my throat at the rock of her hips.
Kissing a trail from the corner of her lips, across her jaw, and down her neck, I stop just short of her chest. Taking her in again, I watch as my hands slide up her body, snagging on her dress as I skate my hand across her toned stomach to cup her breasts through the fabric.
Biting down on the fabric just above her breasts, I pull down, scraping my teeth across her nipple as I do so.
Her body shivers against mine at the touch.
I do the same to the other breast, leaving them both exposed as I plant a few kisses on her sternum.
My cock throbs when she grinds down harder on me at my touch, her bare breasts now fully exposed.
Licking up her sternum, I massage her breasts, lightly brushing my thumb over her nipples, teasing them as I go. The slight sting to my scalp as her grip tightens in my hair in response to the teasing is all the motivation I need to keep her on the edge.
Fed up with my teasing, she pulls me in for another kiss. “Fuck me,” she says, her lips still touching mine. I nip at her bottom lip with my teeth, enjoying the moans I pull out of her as I do.
“Please, Theo.” I marvel at the sight of her grinding on my lap, begging me to fuck her. She tugs at the bottom of my T-shirt, pulling it off over my head. Her eyes follow her hand as she drags it down my chest to my abs. Reaching up, I brush my thumb across her bottom lip.
