Pleased her as it did to see his reaction, it still caused her entire body to flush, the color spreading like wildfire across her pale skin as she dropped her gaze a little. She was trying her best to be sexy for him as they hadn’t been together in such a way for over two months now and part of her felt guilty for it.
Running a finger slowly over her thigh in what she hoped was an enticing, flirty manner, Katelynn’s chest rose and fell with her bated breaths, chest pushing against their restraints. “I just…wanted to surprise you and be s-sexy for you,” she admitted lamely, feeling her body heat up even more.
It’s what he wanted, right?
Jack bit his lower lip as he stared at the very tempting sight on display before him. The colorful ribbon contrasted nicely with Katelynn’s skin and hair; it made him think of the way their skin tones contrasted when he touched her. And the way it only covered a few strategic places was, in a way, more exciting than just seeing her naked would have been (not that he didn’t enjoy that, too!).
“W-well, it’s working,” he said, with a soppy grin. “J-just a moment, let me put these away …” He hurried to quickly put the art supplies where they belonged, then came over to the beanbag.
To say she was nervous was putting it mildly despite all the times they had made love in the past. It just felt like their first all over again with all the awkward feelings swirling to settle in her stomach and a part of her almost wanted to dismiss it all from sheer nerves. But no – she missed Jack in this way as well, feeling his hands upon her bare skin and the loving gestures. Hugging and kissing just didn’t feel like enough anymore.
She definitely was surprised with herself at her brevity at doing this as past love making had just been kisses that led to more. But this? Looking down at herself and how red her skin was to contrast with the blue of the ribbon, she felt like a cherry. Her hair could be the chocolate covering it all.
His very own chocolate covered cherry. She giggling nervously at the thought as she waited for him, palms resting upon her thighs.
She wasn’t the only one who’d been missing this. After thirty years of no love life at all (and no real hope of ever having one), Jack had finally been introduced to the joys of sex and romance last winter. In the months they’d been together, he and Katelynn had made love frequently, and it had made the time they’d spent apart all the more painful; he not only knew what he was missing now, but he was far away from the only person he wanted to do those things with.
There had been nights – too many of them – when he’d lain in bed in his hotel room, cuddling a pillow and wishing it was his beloved. Or touching himself, and wanting it to be Katelynn stroking him. If things had been different, he would have made love to her the day he came home, but when he’d heard the news about her arrest, it had rather killed the mood. Plus, he’d still been tired from traveling – she deserved better.
Beaming, his cheeks still tinted purple, Jack knelt down beside the beanbag. “I must have been v-very good to deserve a present like this,” he said with a chuckle.
