How was it he felt suddenly shy besides her? Laying here in her bed, there she was, less than a few inches away from him yet he felt that if he touched her it would be bad. Beds were for sleeping and… and other. Things. Their first moment had been on a table, of all things, hardly comfortable for her but it had still been a beautiful moment for the two of them.
When they were older no doubt that first time would be looked back with both fondness, and some laughter.
But Jack didn’t want to feel like a stranger in her bed. He rolled onto his side, so he was looking at her, and reached for her beneath the blanket. His hand found her side, and he touched her, smiling faintly. “I know, I just… really… I’m thankful. Really…”
He was touching her, lying with her on the end, sending excitement coursing through her slightly. His touch always affected her, always made her want him in some way, innocent or not.
She adjusted herself so she was laying on her side as well, getting closer to him, her hand stroking the arm touching her slowly. “Well..I did tell you my apartment is your apartment so…” She looks down at her hand brushing across his arm. “…this is completely okay..any time you want..don’t be shy..”
Even though she felt extremely shy over the situation herself. But she doesn’t let it show. She wants to get used to it because it’s Jack, the man she loves, and she wants to cuddle him, make love to him, kiss him; whatever he wanted.
Jack smiles at her softly as she scoots closer to him in the bed, and licks his lips subconciously as she begins to rub his arm. He, like her, loves being touched by the other. Their touches had been brief and innocent, always, even when they had made love on the roof on that wonderful night their hands had been genuinely caring, loving. Not rough, no groping or grabbing. It was a nice feeling. It felt safe. Genuine.
“Being shy is… something I’ve done a lot of…” Jack said as his body shifted closer to her again, until he brushed one of her legs with one of his. “I think I’m… I don’t want to be like… shy any more… a-at least when it’s just you, Katelynn…”
He slowly moves closer still, until his lips find her cheek and he kisses her.
