12. Micah #2
I opened my mouth just to close it.
Robin started laughing before I'd even answered. "Oh my God, you have."
"It was one time."
"It was not one time."
Robin set the Enterprise model back on the shelf with exaggerated care. "There," she said. "I wouldn't want to damage one of your children."
I groaned.
She turned slowly in a circle from her spot in the living room. "You have a framed spaceship blueprint."
"It's art."
"You have a coffee table book about NASA."
"It's educational."
"You own Star Trek coasters."
I pointed at her. "Those were a gift."
Robin's grin widened. The woman was completely incapable of letting me have dignity. The worst part was that I liked it.
I leaned back against the couch cushions and watched her wander around my living room, picking up random objects and demanding explanations for them.
Most people would've made me feel self-conscious about the house.
Robin made me feel seen. She wasn't laughing because she thought my interests were stupid.
She was laughing because she knew exactly how much I loved them.
Robin finally wandered back toward the couch.
"You know," she said, dropping down beside me, "for someone who spends their weekends pretending to be cool, this house is really ruining your brand."
"I was never cool."
"You play bass in a band."
"Yes… and I teach middle school science."
"You sir, are an enigma."
I smiled despite myself. The conversation slowed naturally after that. Robin's head found my shoulder. My arm found its way around her. Outside, the neighborhood had gone quiet. Inside, the only sound was the low hum of the refrigerator and the occasional creak of the old house settling.
After a few minutes, Robin tilted her head back to look at me.
Her expression had softened sometime during the evening.
The teasing was still there. But there was something else underneath it now.
I smiled and brushed the hair away from her forehead.
I couldn’t seem to take my gaze away from her forest green eyes.
There was a large part of me still questioning what an incredible woman like Robin was doing here with me.
"You keep looking at me."
"So do you."
Robin opened her mouth to argue, but then apparently thought better of it. The smile that followed nearly finished me off entirely.
Robin shifted closer until her knee brushed mine. "You're thinking again."
I sighed dramatically. "One of my greatest flaws."
"Top three, probably."
I laughed before gently running the back of my finger along her jaw. For a second neither of us moved. Robin's gaze dropped briefly to my mouth, then lifted again.
"Oh," I said softly.
"Yeah." The single word came out breathless enough to make me smile. Robin rolled her eyes immediately. "Don't be smug."
"I'm not smug."
"You are absolutely smug."
"Maybe a little."
That earned me a shove. Which turned into me catching her hand. Which somehow turned into Robin laughing as I pulled her closer. The kiss arrived naturally, like it had been heading there all evening. When we finally pulled apart, Robin rested her forehead against mine.
"Your bedroom better not have more spaceships."
I softly nipped her bottom lip. "It absolutely has more spaceships."
She groaned dramatically.
I stood and pulled her up from the couch and silenced that groan with a kiss. As she melted into me, I let myself get lost in the kiss. I really fucking liked kissing her. Then I guided her to my room, because I really liked fucking her too.
This time there was less pretense, less nerves and feeling each other out. We made our way to the bed, pulling off each other's clothes in the process. By the time we got there I was naked and Robin stood before me in nothing but fishnets and a strappy bra that short circuited my brain.
I ran my hands over the curves of her body. She was more muscular than anyone I’d been with before and I loved it. I loved the black floral tattoos covering her arm. Then, she reached behind her back and undid her bra. And yeah, I fucking loved her tits too.
I pulled her close and sucked one of the dusky peeks into my mouth.
She fisted her hands into my hair holding me close.
I slid my hands into the waistband of her fishnets and began to slide them down over the swell of her belly and hips.
She pushed me back on the bed and finished taking them off before crawling over me.
She bent her head and kissed me. I reached up wrapping my arms around her, holding her close.
The warmth of her soft strength covering me was everything.
I would never get enough of her. I held her close as I rolled us, putting her on her back and me on top.
I began to kiss down the column of her neck.
I whispered in her ear, “You are so beautiful. I’m going to make you feel so good.” My hand slid up her powerful legs and settled at the apex. Her hips rocked into my hand as I slid a finger in.
“Fuck, Micah,” she moved to take more control, just like she always did. And as much as I fucking loved when she took control, I wanted to show her tonight just how much she meant to me.
“Please, let me do this. Let me worship you.”
Her eyes connected with mine with a vulnerability I’d never seen before. She gave her head the slightest nod. I pressed a gentle kiss to her lips as my fingers can up and circled her clit. Her lips parted on a gasp as eyes stayed connected to mine.
I stroked and circled and worked her. She was getting close. I could tell by the way her body had started grinding into my hand and her breath had turned into little pants.
I kissed her before whispering, “Let go.”
Almost instantly her legs clamped around my hand and her back bowed off the bed. Her eyes closed as her mouth fell open in a moan. It was my favorite sight I’d ever seen.
“Seeing you come is my new favorite sight,” I said as I crawled on top of her.
I reached for my bed side drawer to pull out a condom.
She stopped my hand and said, “I’m on birth control.”
“Are you sure?” I asked pulling back to look in her eyes to give this the importance it deserved. “I was tested at my last physical.”
She nodded and pulled me down for a kiss.
I settled over her and indulged in the kiss.
Her mouth moved against mine as her tongue swept into my mouth.
I was falling for her. I had already been borderline obsessed with her from a distance, but now that I knew her, it was becoming real.
I still saw the tough as nails Robbin’ Banks, but these moments where she opened and softened I got glimpses into a different side of her.
This is a woman I could love for the rest of my life.
I slowly pushed in as our eyes met. This connection was deeper than anything I had experienced before.
Emotions stirred inside me as I slid all the way in.
I claimed her mouth as I began to move inside of her.
She wrapped her legs around my hips as we moved together.
This was everything. She was everything.
The sensation of her wet heat squeezing me was too much.
Time stood still as we moved together. We were the only thing that existed. The feel of her tight pussy had me barely holding on. I needed her to come with me.
“Robin, can you come with me baby?”
She nodded as I slid a hand between us and started circling her clit as I pumped in and out.
“Oh my god, Micah,” she cried out as her legs held me tight.
“That’s it, baby.”
I added just a little more pressure and she gasped and came. I kissed her as my own release took me in an explosion of pure pleasure.
We lay there panting and holding each other until finally I eased out and fell to her side before pulling her close to me. I kissed the top of her head like she was something precious, because she was something precious to me.
After we both cleaned up, I went and got her some water and brought her back a cookie.
She sat up in bed and took the cookie from me with a slight look of confusion. “Did you bring me a cookie?"
I laughed a little. “Yeah, I picked some up at Bread Zeppelin the other day, but if peanut butter chocolate chip isn’t your thing, I can take it back.”
She held the cookie to her chest and glowered at me. Damn, she was cute. I had a feeling most people would not call Robin cute… but more people didn’t get to see her be a little cookie goblin after giving her orgasms.
I sat in bed and took a sip from my own water when she broke the cookie in half and gave it to me. We ate the cookie and drank our water before sinking back down into bed. I spooned her, holding her close as we drifted off to sleep.
