Fucking Gunner! Can’t keep
is goddamn mouth shut.
I was sure he’d told
Ellie what I had planned for tonight.
I’m
never telling him anything again.

“So, Josh and Heather….you two looked comfy
on the dance floor tonight,” Ari said nudging Heather with her
shoulder.

I thought Heather was going to kill Ari. I’d
never seen that girl look so pissed-off in my life. Josh just
smiled and leaned in to say something to Heather. She turned and
glared at him.

Oh shit, that’s not a happy look.

“If you’ll excuse me, I
think I’ll be heading home. Now that Amanda and Brad are gone, I
need to get out of this dress. And no…you
cannot
help me, Josh!”

Everyone let out a laugh
except for Josh. Poor bastard had it bad for Heather, but he seemed
to always say the wrong thing to her. Gunner and I had tried to
tell him that she wasn’t like the bitches he’d slept around with
and that he needed to take things slow with her to win her
trust.
Stupid bastard.
He was always making sexual comments to her and all that did
was push her further away.

Ellie and Gunner said they were taking off as
well. As we all walked out to the main lobby of The Driskill Hotel,
Gunner and I talked a bit about the ranch while Ari and Ellie
talked about school.

“You okay, dude? You look like you’re going
to hurl,” Gunner said as he threw his head back and laughed.

“Fuck you, asshole! If I remember right, you
were a walking mess all Christmas day. Don’t even start with
me.”

Gunner smiled and turned me away from Ari and
Ellie.

“Jeff, dude, just relax. She’s gonna be
surprised, and she’s going to love it. Ellie and I ran up to the
room to take a peek after Jenny was done. It’s beautiful. Just…just
take it slow. Remember that this is for her dude. Be honest, Jeff.
Be real.”

Motherfucker.
I’d never been with a virgin, and my hands were
shaking already.
What if I hurt her? What
if she hated it? What if-

“Jeff, stop. I see the fucking wheels turning
in your head, dude. It’ll be fine. Trust me.”

“Yeah, take it slow…it’s her night….not about
me. Holy shit Gunner. What if I hurt her? Do you know how long I’ve
waited to be with this girl? What if I turn into a crazy man? Oh
shit, maybe I should have waited longer. What if she’s not
ready?”

“Jesus, Jeff. You know that she’s ready.
She’s more than ready. I think if you wait any longer, she’s going
to be the one to attack you. You won’t go crazy. I’m not going to
lie though. It’ll be fucking hard to take it slow.”

“Fuck Gunner! You just gave me a damn visual.
What did I say about that? I’m done talking to you.”

I turned and walked over to Ari and Ellie. I
leaned down and kissed Ellie good night and told her that I loved
her. While Ellie and Ari hugged and said their good-byes, Gunner
handed me the key to the hotel room I’d booked.

I grabbed Ari’s hand and started walking
towards the stairs.

“Wait, where are we going, Jeff? I’m so ready
to just go home and get out of this dress.”

I stopped and turned her to face me. She had
questioning look on her face.

I leaned close to ear and said very softly
and slowly, “I need to show you your surprise, baby.”

Ari’s head snapped up, and she looked into my
eyes. For a second, she looked scared. Then her eyes immediately
softened, and she smiled.

She turned away and walked
over to the stairs and started to head up them at a rather fast
pace. I had to let out a laugh.
Goddamn, I
love this girl.

I slipped the room key through the slider and
looked over at Ari who looked like I felt, sick to my stomach. I
should have come up to the room first to make sure everything was
okay.

“Jesus H. Christ, Jeff, just open the door!”
Ari said stomping her foot.

Yep, I loved this
girl.
I was pretty sure that I was going to
die and go to heaven tonight.

I opened the door, and Ari just about pushed
me out of the way as she made her way into the room. She stopped
dead in her tracks and let out a gasp. The room was filled with LED
candles everywhere and Roses were covering every possible surface.
The bed had petals spread all over it with one single red rose
lying across the pillows.

Ari turned and looked at me.

Oh shit
. Tears were running down her face. I walked over to her and
wiped them away as I leaned down and kissed her.

“I love you, Ari. I love you more than
anything in this world, baby.”

“Jeff….I don’t. I don’t even know what to
say! It’s so beautiful. It’s….it’s perfect!”

Our room was on the historical side of the
hotel facing 6th Street. Ari walked over to the balcony doors,
threw them open and walked outside. I could hear music coming from
a bar not far away. The song sounded like it was “Dirty Dancer” by
Enrique Iglesias. I smiled when her hips started moving to the
beat. Damn, the girl loves to dance.

I took off my tie and
jacket, set them on a nearby chair, and made my way out to her. I
wrapped my arms around her and felt her moving her hips as she
pressed into me.
Fuck me! Please don’t let
me lose it like a damn sixteen year old boy.

As I moved my hips with hers, she threw her
head back up against me and let out a small moan. I about lost it
right then and there.

“Jeff?”

“Yeah, baby?”

“I’m scared.”

Holy shit.
I just about dropped to my knees. I’d never in the
9 years I’d known Ari, ever heard her utter those words. She was
the strongest person I knew.

Gunner’s words came back
into my head.
Be honest, Jeff. Be
real.

“I am, too, baby.”

Pulling away from me, Ari turned to face me
with a shocked look on her face.

“What? Why would you be scared?” Ari
practically shouted.

“I mean, why are
you
scared Jeff? For
Christ’s sake, it’s not like you’ve never had sex before. I’ve
never done this before. What if…what if I don’t….”

“Ari, stop. First off, baby,
I’m scared because I’m going to be making love to you for the first
time. I might have had sex, before Arianna, but I’ve
never
made love to anyone
before. I’ve dreamed about this night with you for years. I just
want this to be perfect for you, Ari, I want you to always remember
this night.”

I watched as a tear rolled down her cheek. I
brushed it away with my thumb and leaned down to kiss her. She
stepped back away from me. I was confused by what she was doing
until she turned and walked back into the room. I followed her in
and shut the doors to the balcony.

She turned back to face me as she stepped
backward until her legs touched the bed. I could hardly move my
legs, but somehow, I managed to walk over to her. She looked at me
with that smile.

“Can I ask you something, Jeff?”

“Yes, of course you can, Ari”

“Will you please get this mother-fucking
dress off of me now before I explode in it?”

I let out a laugh and nodded my head. Ari
turned around. I could barely hold the zipper while I slowly
unzipped her dress with trembling hands. She let out a sigh when I
had it unzipped all the way.

Motherfucker.
Her back was so soft and beautiful. I thought
about the day at the ranch when I was trying to put her bikini top
back on in the river. I ran my finger down her neck to the bottom
of her back. Her whole body shivered, and I smiled, knowing that my
touch affected her like this.

She turned around and had her hand clutching
the top of the dress. Smiling, she let the dress fall.

If I died this very second, I would die a
happy man. I let my eyes travel up and down her body. She was
perfect. She wore a strapless white lace bra with a matching thong
on her flawless hourglass figure. Her skin was glowing with just a
slight tan.

My heart was beating a mile a minute.

She held out her hand for me to help her step
out of the dress. She stood there, and just letting me look at her.
I realized then that I’d never just stopped to really look at her.
In the past, when I’d given her an orgasm, she’d only been totally
nude a few times. Afterward, I’d always ended up waiting for her to
fall asleep, and then I would take care of myself in the shower.
She’d practically begged me the other night to let her give me a
hand job. Now, I was about to see her nude, and I would be able to
really take her all in.

She’s about to be totally mine.

“Do you like what you see?”

I couldn’t talk. I just started at her lips
that she was now licking. I watched as her hands moved to her bra,
and the next thing I knew, it was gone.

“Ari…I think I’m going to pass the fuck
out.”

Ari threw her head back and laughed. “Good! I
was hoping for a reaction like that.”

I just looked at her and smiled. Her smile
faded as she glanced at the bed and then back at me.

“Can I undress you, Jeff?”

What did she just ask
me?
I looked her up and down again.
“Huh?”

Ari laughed as she walked up to me. She
slowly started to unbutton my shirt, and each time she undid a
button, she kissed my chest.

“I don’t know if I hear your heart beating or
mine!” Ari said with a giggle.

“Both maybe?”

“Hmm…maybe.”

She pushed off my shirt and then took her
time staring at my chest. Her fingers started to trace my tattoo.
My whole body shivered, making Ari smile. She reached down and
unbuckled my belt. After she unbuttoned and unzipped my pants, she
leaned over and began taking off my shoes. As she slowly stood back
up, I slipped my pants off and then looked back at her.

The way Ari was looking at me caused me to
say another silent prayer I would last at least five minutes. She
looked down at my boxer briefs and then moved her eyes back up to
mine. She placed her hands on my hips, and I swore my dick got so
hard that I thought I was going to die. She slowly slipped them
off, and then she stood back up and staring at my dick.

“Do you like what
you
see, baby?” I asked
with a smirk.

Ari looked at me and smiled, but I could tell
she was getting more nervous. Taking her hand, I guided her onto
the bed. She sat down and slowly started to lay back. Her whole
body was shaking. I kneeled on the bed next to her and started to
take off her thong.

“Jesus, Ari…you’re so fucking beautiful. I
could just stare at your body all day.”

I watched as a blush spread across Ari’s
cheeks.

I leaned over her and kissed her with as much
passion as I could. She moaned into my mouth, and I felt it travel
throughout my body. I reached my hand down and ran it along her
stomach to her thigh. I gently nudged her legs apart, and she
practically jumped from my touch.

“Jeff…”

“I love you, Arianna.”

“I love you…so much Jeff.”

Moving my hand to caress
between her legs, I placed one finger inside of her, and she just
about came on the spot.
She’s so fucking
wet.

“Fuck, Ari. You’re so ready, baby.”

“Please, Jeff.”

I slowly added two more fingers while my
thumb rubbed against her clit. Ari started pushing her hips into my
hand, and I could tell she was close, so I stopped moving my
hand.

“Jeff! Why did you stop?”

I softly kissed her neck, and then moved down
to her chest where I started to suck on her nipple.

“Oh, Jeff.”

God, I just wanted to make
her feel special and loved.
As I continued
kissing down her stomach, I felt her body shake. A small smile came
across my mouth, knowing my touch was driving her crazy. Moving
lower, I kissed her hip and then over to the other. When I started
to kiss down her leg, I heard her moan.

“Oh god, Jeff…please.”

I slowly made my way over to her inner
thighs. When I blew on her clit, her whole body jerked as she
grabbed the bed-sheets with both of her hands. I looked up at her
and almost lost it. Her eyes were closed, and she was chewing on
her bottom lip.

I gently put my fingers back into her as I
started to kiss her clit. Her moans were driving me fucking nuts.
We had never done this before, and I was afraid that she would stop
me.

It didn’t take long before she was calling
out my name as she ran her hands through my hair. I had given
plenty of girl’s oral sex before, but with Ari, it was so much
more. Her taste and how she felt on my lips….was beyond
perfect.

“Holy hell, do that again!” Ari said after
she caught her breath.

I moved up her body, feeling her chest rising
and falling with each deep breath, and I smiled at the sight of her
flushed face.

“Baby, I want you to come again, but this
time, with me inside you. I want to see you fall apart when we’re
making love.”

I started to lean over to get a condom out of
my pants, Ari grabbed my arm and shook her head.

Oh fuck. Why is she saying no?

“Ari, I have to wear a condom, baby. I’ve
never had sex without one.”

“You don’t have to, Jeff. I’m on the pill. I
started taking it right after Thanksgiving…you know, just in case.
I don’t want anything to separate us, Jeff.”
