His penis was standing erect and I couldn’t help but admire the length of him. I had never really checked him out in the light, and I found myself unable to look away. My body burned for him. I wanted him inside of me, but that was going to have to wait until both of us were clean. I wanted to wash away the sweat and grime from my day, and I wanted to wash away all of the pain and lies that had been between us.

I reached my hands around to my back to unclasp my bra, and slid my arms out letting it fall to the floor. Then I slowly scooted out of my panties and tossed them up to Travis with my foot. He caught them in his hand, and bit his lower lip as he stared down at my bareness. It had been a few days, but my martini glass was still intact. I gave him a little wink and then turned to step into the shower. Travis was right behind me and I felt him kissing my shoulder and neck as his arm came around my waist.

“I love you Paige,” he said. I turned towards him and once again our mouths clung to each other in desperation. Every emotion was being poured into the kiss, and it was the best kiss that I had ever received.

“I seem to recall you promising me quite the wash down,” I teased, waggling my eyebrows. “Well, I am ready to be cleaned,” I invited, lifting my arms into the air, letting him know that I was there for the washing.

“Damn, how did I get so lucky? I have the sexiest girlfriend in the world, begging me to wash her. Seriously, am I going to wake up from a dream?” he asked, staring at me in awe.

“No, because I’m not even going to let you sleep tonight,” I said, grabbing him by the neck and pulling him forward to meet my lips. Travis reached over me to grab the body wash, and put some in his hands. As soon as he was lathered up, he began his soft, slow, sensual rub down starting with my neck and arms, his hands slid over my body with ease, and his touch felt so good. The look in his eyes was filled with love and lust and it made my body burn deeper. As his hands slipped over my breasts and he began a slow rubbing motion over my nipples, I threw my head back and moaned. It felt so good, that I found myself pressing my nipples further into his palms.

“Your breasts are so perfect,” he whispered and I could hear his desire in his tone. His hands continued down my stomach, and I brought my eyes back up to look at him. They stopped right at my lower stomach and I saw him admiring my bikini wax.

“I really like this,” he said as his fingers ran over the tiny patch of hair that remained at the top between my legs. I thrust my hips forward at his touch, causing his fingers to slide between my folds.

“Fuck, you feel so good,” he growled as his head came to rest on my forehead. His fingers continued their back and forth exploration and rubbing. They moved over my slick skin, which made the friction build faster within me. Then two of his fingers slipped inside of me and I cried out with pleasure.

“Yes, don’t stop,” I begged, hoping that he would continue thrusting them inside of me. I needed to be filled by him, but wanted to wait until we were in my bed to experience him fully.

“You are so wet and tight, Paige,” he groaned.

His lips came down to suck on my nipple, while his fingers sent me spiraling over the edge. I screamed out his name as my body exploded and nearly collapsed on top of him. He caught me and held me up as I recovered.

“God, you are so sexy,” he whispered in my ear as he kissed my neck and nibbled on my lobe. My eyes finally opened and I turned to look at him. He was so gorgeous, and his eyes were filled with so much love and lust, which made my heart and my core burn for him.

“Now, I get to wash you,” I said, giving him a wicked grin. He watched me carefully as I lathered my hands and then brought them down to begin stroking the length of him. Sounds were coming from the back of his throat as my hands moved up, down, and around. They slid right over him from the slickness of the soap and water, and I could tell that he liked the effect.

“Damn, Paige. I’m coming,” he cried out, gripping my hips tightly. His whole body shuddered as he exploded in my hands. I could feel the pulsing of his shaft, and I didn’t want to let go. My body was ready for him again, but this time, I needed him inside of me.

We quickly finished rinsing off, and then climbed out of the shower. After toweling each other off, we made our way over to my bed. Travis sat down on the edge, and pulled me forward. He kissed me sensually and then pulled back to look into my eyes.

“Thank you for giving me another chance,” he spoke quietly and I could see nothing but the love from his heart radiating in his eyes.

“I’m sorry that she deceived you Travis, and I’m sorry that things started out for us on a lie, but honestly… I’m not sorry for anything that happened between us. I want you to know that I don’t have any regrets. I love you Travis, and I’m all yours.”

It was as if my words were the soothing balm that he was waiting for. He grabbed me and shifted me onto the bed so that I was lying on my back. His lips claimed mine, making the fire roar inside of me once again. Our bodies began sliding together, as our tongues mimicked our motions.

“Travis, I need you. Don’t make me beg this time, I need to feel you,” I moaned, rolling my hips upward so that I could feel his skin between my legs. Without hesitation, he spread my thighs apart and lowered himself between them.

“Are you on the pill?” he asked and his question momentarily brought me out of my sexual fog.

“Yes, I am. I need to feel y…”

Just as I was uttering the words he slid inside of me and I felt the pure ecstasy of his hard penis filling me entirely. “Paige, you feel so good,” he groaned as he thrust forward. Both of us quickly found a rhythm and matched each other stroke for stroke. I pushed my hips forward wanting him deeper inside of me as my body climbed to its climax.

“Damn, I’m going to lose it. Are you almost there, baby?” As he asked the question, I fell off the cliff and shouted out the pure pleasure that exploded deep within my body. Travis followed my lead and I felt the heat of his liquid spill inside of me as he cried out my name. In that moment, I was relieved that my parents were not in the house, because we had definitely not controlled ourselves. Catching our breaths, we lay in the silence just holding each other.

Travis began placing light kisses along my collarbone and neck, and I already began to feel the need for him again. “I love you Paige,” he whispered over my heart before pressing a kiss directly on it. The act made me realize that he was mine and I wanted to take him for myself. “Are you tired baby, do you want to go to sleep?” he asked, pulling up to look into my eyes.

“I’m not ready for sleep?” I said. “But right now, I want to go for a ride.” Travis was instantly aroused by my request, so I hopped up and straddled his hips taking him on a very wild ride.

We were lying in the bed momentarily sated, and Travis was brushing his hand up and down my arm, as he was propped on his side facing me. “Can I ask you something and you promise you won’t get mad?” I asked, hoping that the question I was about to pose wouldn’t ruin the mood.

“Sure, anything. There are no more lies, I want you to ask me anything,” he said and I could hear the pain in his voice from my uncertainty.

“Is that why you turned me down, when I practically threw myself at you, because of Cora?” I was embarrassed remembering the rejection I had felt and my reaction when it had happened. Travis lifted my chin and looked straight into my eyes.

“It was because I wanted to have you when it was honest. It took everything in me Paige to stop myself from taking you up into the make-out room and to stop myself from making love to you right then and there. It actually took everything in me to walk away from you that day at my house when you offered for me to shower with you. Let’s just say I was very thankful for the ice cold shower I took, although it almost didn’t do the trick.” He laughed at his remark causing me to giggle. “But, I wanted it to be right between us. I wanted to wait until I had broken up with Cora, and at least do that part right,” he said.

His answer filled a few of the holes that were still left in my heart, recalling those moments. At least I knew that it wasn’t because he was rejecting me in any way, and that it wasn’t for Cora’s benefit but for mine. That part I could live with. “So, is that why you kept our relationship a secret? So that Cora wouldn’t find out?”

“Paige, I almost broke up with her over the phone, just because I couldn’t take lying to you anymore. But when I picked up the phone to call her, I just felt that it was the wrong thing to do; this was back when I still believed her lie. But as things between you and I continued to build, it became more and more difficult to restrain myself from that. And then, I found out she was coming into town. I was actually getting ready to tell you the truth about everything right before my dad came in that morning. I couldn’t stand the lies any more, and there you were trying to convince me that you would never cheat on me with Jared or anyone else, and here I was accusing you of doing what I was guilty of. It made me feel like a bastard, regardless of my reasons for doing it I couldn’t keep up the lie anymore. But before I had the chance, my dad beat me to the punch,” he said and I could see the pain return in his eyes as he remembered the moment.

“I thought you were getting ready to break up with me. I knew something terrible was about to happen,” I admitted, trying to be open and honest with him.

“No, I was about to grovel and beg for your forgiveness.”

“Hmm, so what does your groveling look like?” I playfully asked, trying to change the mood.

“Well, it looks a little bit like this,” he said as he kissed my shoulder all the way up to the side of my mouth. “And a little bit like this,” he said as he kissed across to my ear, where he nibbled softly on my lobe sending tingles back between my legs. “And…” His voice trailed off, as he ran kisses down my neck, over my left breast, between my cleavage, across my stomach, and all the way down to my clit. He stopped, and then looked up into my eyes and said, “And it looks a whole lot like this.”

His mouth instantly claimed my clit and he sucked it in between his lips. The sensation made my hips buck off the bed causing him to grab me and hold me down. It didn’t take much sucking and licking before I exploded. As my breathing settled, I finally mustered up my response. “If you keep that up, you are definitely forgiven. Or maybe I shouldn’t forgive you, so that you will keep groveling.”

He chuckled against my skin and then came to lay next to me on the pillow. “You may actually want to invest in a chastity belt, because I have now tasted perfection and will never get enough.” I could barely manage a giggle as he wrapped his arms around me. My body was so exhausted from all of the emotional drainage over the last few days, the full day of dancing, and then from all of the incredible sex, that I couldn’t hold my eyes open any more. “I love you Paige,” were the last words I heard as I drifted off to sleep feeling completely in love and happy.

Chapter 26

I woke up to the sound of Travis laughing. It wasn’t coming from my bedroom but from downstairs. I wasn’t sure if a TV was on, or if he had just found something to be funny, but I knew that I was all alone in my bed. The realization brought a little pout to my face, but then I saw that the clock said 12:32. “Wow, I must have been really tired. It’s already past noon,” I said, stretching myself like a cat against my sheets. I was a little disappointed not to be waking up in Travis’s arms, but I expected he woke up a while ago and probably went to go find some food. I hopped up, quickly got myself clean, grabbed a tank top and threw on some pink lacey panties that I pulled out of my drawer. I spared myself a bra and shorts, because I was hoping that my breakfast, and lunch for that matter, wouldn’t be consisting of food.

I pranced down the stairs, and had already turned the corner into the kitchen when I realized Travis wasn’t alone. “Good morning babe or should I say good afternoon!” he said, immediately noticing my attire as his eyes grazed over my body from top to bottom. As soon as he reached my nipples, which were peeking through my tank top, he bit down on his lip and I could read his lustful thoughts.

I, on the other hand, was freaking out and standing there like a deer in headlights in nothing but a tank top and my lace panties, while Jared, Tom and Tracey were all staring at me from the kitchen table. “Excuse me,” I finally managed to say and darted out of the room back upstairs to my bedroom. I quickly hurried to make myself decent and threw on more appropriate attire.

There was a tap on my door, and then I heard Tracey’s voice. “Paige, are you decent? Can I come in?”

“Yes! I’m decently horrified that I just made my grand appearance in front of everyone,” I said, rolling my eyes.

“Yeah, sorry about that,” she said, giggling at my expense. “I wanted to make sure you were okay, and I brought reinforcements with me just in case Travis had decided to stage a camp out in your front yard and refused to leave, but I take it you don’t want him to leave?”

“No. I don’t.”

I looked up at her from underneath my eyelashes and braced myself for her reaction. I was nervous about what she might think, and that she would be disappointed in me for forgiving him so easily. “Trace, he…”

“I know,” she said, cutting me off. “He told us what happened. It really sucks that it all had to go down the way it did. That Cora girl is a real bitch.”

“So you believe him?” I asked, knowing that I was looking for validation.

“Yes, I do,” she spoke reassuringly and was nodding her head to reiterate. “Ashley had sent you a text a couple days ago saying talk to him because Cora lied. I didn’t know what it meant, and that was one of the few moments that you had fallen asleep and weren’t crying, so I didn’t wake you to tell you. Then I just forgot about it. Now, it all makes sense.” Tracey filled the very last hole that was left in my heart and there was now no doubt in my mind that I wanted to be with Travis.

“Listen Paige, I think Travis is a good guy, so the only thing I can say is follow your heart. I don’t think he ever would have hurt you if he weren’t such a great guy, as ironic as that may sound. Now Jared, on the other hand, is probably going to offer you different advice, especially after seeing you prance into the kitchen in your barely there little panties this morning. I don’t think he’ll be getting over that image any time soon,” she teased. “I just hope I can easily erase it from Tom’s memory,” she giggled.
