She headed to the kitchen to put some
water in the kettle to make tea, but Makeeta grabbed her arm and pulled her
into his arms. He brought his head down and kissed her. He crushed her to him,
and as his tongue traced her lips, she responded earnestly to his kiss. She was
shocked that she responded so readily to him and she gave herself freely to the
passion of his kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck. His hands drew her
in tightly against him as he gently rubbed up and down her back.
Sami pulled away from him. “Please,
stop.”
“What’s wrong?” Makeeta asked softly.
“We shouldn’t do this. I
mean...I...um, I’ve got some pretty ugly scars on my back and my legs.”
“So?” Makeeta whispered. Sami held
her head down, and Makeeta placed a finger under her chin and lifted her face
up until their eyes met. “Scars don’t bother me, Sami, you should know that by
now.”
He gently pulled her back into his
embrace, and after a few minutes, he started kissing her again. His lips
trailed her jawline, and he planted a tantalizing kiss in the hollow of her
neck. He released her hair from its clip, and it cascaded down her back. His
hands found the bottom of her sweater, and he slipped them under it, touching
her skin. The touch was so sensual it set off a barrage of fireworks inside
her. His hands were at her waist, and slowly, gently, he caressed her back. He
stopped kissing her and looked deeply into her eyes.
He splayed his hands and lifted the
sweater up and over her head and tossed it on a chair. His hands went to her
back, slightly caressing her scarred skin, setting her on fire. He unhooked her
bra and swiftly tossed it aside. His hands then explored her breasts. The touch
on her nipples sent off more sparks of pleasure. Bending his head, he started
kissing each breast. Her nipples hardened under his ministrations, and it sent
new spirals of ecstasy through her. He came back up to kiss her on her mouth
again, and she started fumbling with the buttons on his shirt When she got his
shirt unbuttoned and slid it off his shoulders, she marveled at his beautiful
chest, muscular and masculine.
Sami looked at him admirably. “You
are like a bronze sculpture. So beautiful.”
“Mmm, I’m thinking you’re quite
beautiful yourself.”
He guided
her into the bedroom.
