Bound Together by Marie Coulson Page A

counter top. I wrapped my legs
around his waist pulling him against me. His hands wandered from my
middle to my knees slowly sliding up my thighs and going underneath
my dress, before settling around on my behind. He pulled me to the
edge of the counter and removing his lips from my mine, trailed
kisses down my neck. I moaned loudly with pleasure as he reached my
collar bone. His lips travelled further south to my chest and down
to my cleavage.

I leaned back slightly,
granting him better access to my breasts. Arching my back, I
steadied myself with my hands as I gripped the counter. His hands
slid out from beneath my dress and were now wrapped around my back.
Pulling me back up to him, his lips made their way up my neck then
to my face. The two of us were breathing heavily as our eyes met. I
was completely aroused. My skin was screaming to be touched and my
breasts were fully aware of his proximity to them. I could feel my
nipples harden beneath my dress. I ached for him.
I knew I’d been having
the same effect on him as I could feel his erection pressing
against my thigh. I had to fight to control my urge to release it
and beg him to take me there on the counter. He took a long calming
breath and rested his forehead against mine. I could feel his hot
breath on my face. I was sure it was flushed from the heat
radiating inside my body. “Oh Layla, you have no idea how much I
want to scoop you up in my arms, carry you upstairs and do bad
things to your hot curvy body. Very bad things. But what I want to
do to you could linger on for hours into the night and you have
classes tomorrow.”

He was right. Caught up
in my desire for him I’d completely forgotten about classes. Hell
I’d forgotten my own name! I let out a disappointed sigh. He opened
his eyes and gave me serious look. “Don’t pout Layla. Education and
knowledge are valuable assets. Don’t take them for
granted.”
It was almost a command
and for some unknown reason I found it highly exciting.
“ I’ll take you
home.”
Licking my lips, I smiled
at him seductively. He took a step back as I slid myself forward
and off the counter. Reaching for my hand, which I gave him
willingly, he led me outside to the car. Pausing for a moment, he
faced me. “I’d like to see you again tomorrow night, say seven?” I
nodded as he brought my hand to his lips and planted a gentle kiss
on the back.

The drive home was quiet
and I often caught him glancing over at me as he drove. I couldn’t
help steal looks at him myself. He was delicious. He was chocolate
ice-cream, strawberries and cream, caramel lattes and everything I
found most tempting. He pulled up outside the dorms and ran around
to my side to open the door. Taking my hand, he helped me to my
feet.
“ I had a wonderful time
tonight. I’ll see you tomorrow night. I’ll pick you up right here.
Wait for me to contact you.” He leaned in and kissed me deeply
before letting me go. I wished him a goodnight, kissing him back.
Walking in a daze to the doors I looked back at him and playfully
blew him a kiss. He grinned and held his hand to his chest
pretending my kiss had hit him in the heart like an arrow. I
chuckled at him before turning away and heading inside.

When I got inside, I
wandered down the hallway with my head in the clouds. Well not
quite in the clouds. My mind and my heart were still standing with
him on the sidewalk outside. I almost missed my room, except a hand
had reached out, grabbed me by the arm and pulled me in. Amy was
standing in front of me wearing a pair of pink spotted pajamas and
fluffy kitten heel slippers. With her hands fisted on her hips she
was glaring at me. “What time do you call this? It’s almost
midnight. And did I just see what I thought I saw? Because honey
that was capital H.O.T, hot! From that goofy look on your face I
assume it went well.”
I grinned at her and fell
onto my bed. “Oh Amy. He’s wonderful. He’s sexy, smart, funny,
successful and oh my god he can kiss.
