Lyrics of a Small Town by Abbi Glines

Twenty-Five

It was a little after seven when I pulled into Saul’s driveway. I had brought another bag with a swimsuit and towel in case it was needed but left it in the back seat. Before I was halfway to the door, it opened with Saul leaning against the doorframe, crossing his arms over his chest and watching me. He had been looking for me. My chest felt warm and other things I was too afraid to label.

When I reached him, he held out a hand to me and I went willingly toward him. He kissed me then. The way I had wanted him to kiss me this morning. The kiss that said he too enjoyed last night. I went up on my tippy toes and kissed him back with all the emotions that I wouldn’t speak. Not yet. Maybe never. It all depended on him and how this played out.

“I gotta get to work. Can y’all go suck face somewhere else?” Rio asked, and I pulled back to look over Saul’s shoulder at Rio.

Saul didn’t take his hand off my waist but stepped back and took me with him. “Mornin’,” he said to Rio as we walked by him.

“Looks like a fucking good one for you,” Rio replied.

“It is,” Saul shot back at him.

I heard Rio laugh and then the door closed. Saul looked at me then. “You want go back to sleep?” he asked me.

I thought of getting back in his bed with him and I couldn’t think of anything more I wanted to do. “Do you?” I asked him.

“Sleep?” he asked me.

I nodded.

He slipped his hand under the back of my tank top. “If I go with you back to my bed, I will fuck you again. So my question is do you want to go back to sleep?”

I had always thought using the word fuck instead of sex was crude. Until now. When Saul said it, all my female parts felt a thrill and became very alert.

“I want to go to your bed,” I replied honestly.

Saul said nothing but led me up the stairs and down the hallway to his bedroom. When I heard the door click shut behind me, I turned to look at him. He reached for my waist but grabbed my shirt instead, taking it off and tossing it on the floor. My bra came next then he took a moment to look at my breasts before taking my hand and pulling me toward the bed.

He took his shirt off then his gaze went to my shorts. “Better leave those on,” he said. “I’m going to let you sleep first.”

“Are you going to stay?” I asked him disappointed. My body was aching now and I wasn’t sure I could sleep.

“Yeah,” he said and moved me to the side of the bed then pulled back the covers he had straightened while I was gone.

I sat down and took off my shoes then moved to get under the covers. Saul slid in beside me and shifted so my back was pressed against his chest. His arm sat just below my breasts and I closed my eyes, trying not to think about how incredible last night had been.

Saul’s arm moved and brushed the underside of my breasts, causing me to inhale sharply. Every square inch of my body was sensitive.

“Henley,” he said his voice tense.

“Yes?”

“You need sleep,” he told me. “Don’t wiggle.”

“I’m not wiggling,” I said, turning my head to look back at him. However, the movement caused my left breast to move right over his hand that had been resting too close.

He lifted his body up and pressed my back to the mattress as he came over me. “Yeah, you are,” he said then lowered his mouth to mine to kiss me hard.

I moaned and arched into him, opening my legs so his body fit between them easily. His kiss became more aggressive as he pushed his erection against me. Our shorts were suddenly the enemy. I wanted them off. I wanted him inside me again.

He tore his mouth from mine. “Fuck,” he growled and his hands went to my shorts. They were sliding down my legs along with my panties in seconds. Then he was shoving his down and kicking them off the bed. “You make me crazy,” he said, lowering himself back over me.

It wasn’t until I felt him at my entrance, sliding inside, that our eyes locked and we realized he wasn’t wearing a condom. “GOD that feels incredible,” he groaned frozen.

Yes, it did feel incredible but there was no protection. I wasn’t on birth control and then there was his previous sexual partners to worry about. “Condom,” I whispered hating to bring it up.

He inhaled sharply and then looked directly into my eyes. “I’ve never been with anyone unprotected. Ever.”

Was he asking me to do this without a condom? As much as I wanted to be with him I wasn’t sure I could do this. I said nothing but stared up into his eyes wishing I knew the right words to say.

“Henley, I would never do anything to harm you. I swear.”

“I’m not on birth control,” I said softly.

I could see him clench his jaw as he looked at me. “I’ll pull out.”

I didn’t know all the details of sex but I did know that if he didn’t come inside me then I wouldn’t get pregnant. At least I was pretty sure that was required. I wish I had asked my mother questions about this now. Saul looked to be in physical pain as he held himself over me not moving. Waiting on me. I had to decide. I knew that making him stop and get a condom was the smart thing. His blue eyes appeared to be pleading with me. I was weak.

Unable to stop myself, I lifted my hips and he sank in deeper. His eyes closed tightly and he appeared to be in pure agony as a low and long groan came from his chest. “HOLY FUCK!” he shouted. His arms were trembling as he held himself over me.

Watching him made my pleasure increase. Lifting both legs, I wrapped them around his hips and pulled him down. He filled me completely then. Saul cursed again and he hands fisted into the sheets beside my head.

“You’re so fucking wet and hot,” he said between his teeth. “I’ve never,” he was breathing fast and hard, “never been without one,” he finished. “Damn nothing has ever felt this good.”

He moved then and I kept my legs wrapped around him. My panting became as heavy as his. I wanted more of it. More of him.

“I’m gonna have to stop, baby. I can’t stay in.” He broke off with a moan of pleasure as he sank deep inside me again. “If you come on my dick, I’m not going to be able to stop,” he warned me as my body began to tremble with the release that was almost within my grasp. It was there and my body was hungry for it.

“AH!” I called out, clinging to Saul as it began to claim me. The orgasm burst from me and the ecstasy took over as I held onto his shoulders and cried out his name over and over. This one was different. I could feel the pulse of his erection as the bare skin of his cock slid inside me. The intimacy that provoked intensified everything. Just as I began to fall back to earth, Saul shouted and jerked away from me.

Startled, I opened my eyes just as he shot his release all over my stomach. “FUUUCK!” His body shook, his neck was so taunt the veins stood out, and his head was thrown back. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

When he was done, his hands fell to his sides and he drew a long deep breath as his gaze met mine. “You have no idea the strength that took,” he said then moved his gaze to my stomach covered in his come.

“What?” I asked confused.

He lifted his eyes back to mine. “Not to let that go while I was inside you,” he replied. “God, Henley, that was… fuck… it was,” he stopped then and grinned. “Hell, I don’t have words for it.”

He moved back then, getting off the bed, and stood up. “I’ll be right back.”

I watched him go to the bathroom and come back with a hand towel. He wiped up his release from my stomach then dropped it on the floor before climbing back into bed and pulling me against him.

Like last night, he began to caress my back with his fingertips and slowly, I was drawn back to the relaxing security of being in his arms.
