Waiting for Him (Waiting Series Book 3) (25 page)

      It was impossible not to notice her extreme beauty starting with her long, chocolate brown hair that cascaded down the front of her tank top and came to rest just below the tips of her breasts. Her eyes were like none I’d ever seen before. They were the bright blue of a cloudless sky and framed by thick dark lashes that curled upwards on the ends. Her nose was small and ended in a gentle point above her pink, bow shaped mouth. Her small oval face was tanned a golden brown from the summer sun and I had never seen a girl as beautiful in my life. I remember my hand shaking as I reached for my water glass, all because her leg gently brushed mine under the table. I’d only spoken a single word to her, just a simple “hi,” when my sister introduced us and yet my body reacted as if I had known her much longer.

      For the most part, Lane and Denley ignored me when they were together that summer and even over the next few years. I was the annoying younger brother and I played my part well, doing things to purposely anger Lane whenever Denley was over.

      It wasn’t until I was seventeen that my feelings for Denley became more intense. I mean I’ve always been attracted to her, but our age difference was substantial and enough of an obstacle to keep us apart, not to mention that she thought of me as just a kid. There’s not much chance of a thirteen-year-old boy and a seventeen-year-old girl dating successfully or even a nineteen-year-old dating a fifteen-year-old.

      The summer before my junior year in high school I had a massive growth spurt and I’d been working out on a regular basis with some friends from the football team. My body began changing, gaining muscle mass and definition I’d never had before. All of a sudden, I was getting attention from girls who had ignored me in the past. Unfortunately, I wasn’t getting it from the one girl that I desired above all others. I did make an effort to push her out of my mind by dating a few other girls, but I never did more than kiss them. In my mind and my heart, I knew I was waiting for Denley to teach me how to make love. She was it for me, I was a goner from the first time our eyes met. It was as if my soul recognized her and since then I’d lived for each moment in her company. Even the moments when she was ignoring me...scoffing at me...or even telling me how horrible I am. All of those minutes spent in her company meant that I was that much closer to making my fantasy a reality.

      It wasn’t until this past summer that I realized it was time to make Denley Thomas mine. I decided that since I was eighteen and legally considered an adult there wasn’t anything wrong with me dating a twenty-two-year-old. I just had to convince her of that.

     
Which brings me back to the here and now.

      School started up again earlier this week. It feels great to be a senior and the fact that I’m a first-string running back on the football team doesn’t hurt. The football players get preferential treatment at my school, from the teachers on down to the students. It’s surreal for me at times, but I’m a good student and I don’t really need any special favors to do well. I prefer to earn things on my own merit. My dad used to say that “any job worth doing was a job worth doing well.” I’m not sure where he heard it from, but he ingrained it in my brain from the time I was a small boy until he passed away.

      Tonight there’s a party at our quarterback Mike’s house. He and I have become good friends over the past few years. We work well together on the football field too. Our team won its division last year, but we lost in the second round of the playoffs. This year is going to end better for us, I can feel it. Things have been gelling for us in practice and we have our first game next Friday night. It’s a home game too. I’m hoping that my mom and Lane will be there and if I’m lucky Denley will be with them.

      I’m going to be late for the party if I don’t get a move on. I stayed in the shower too long thinking about Denley and all the things I want to do to her tight, curvaceous body. Of course, that left me with an iron hard dick so I had to rub one out quick...only it wasn’t quick because I didn’t want my Denley fantasy to be over too fast. Now that I’ve taken care of business I’m rushing around trying to make up for lost time. I brush my teeth as fast as I can and swish mouthwash around as I put my deodorant on. My clothes are in my bedroom and as I rush out of the bathroom wearing only a towel slung low around my hips I crash into someone in the hallway. The lighting is dim, but I recognize the scent of her perfume as she grips onto my shoulders trying to steady herself, but ends up pulling me down with her. I land directly on top of Denley.

      “Oof.” Is the only sound that comes out of my mouth as my dick notches perfectly between her legs. She stares up at me with impossibly wide eyes, her hands between us on my wet bare chest. A drop of water from my hair falls to the top of her breast and slowly trails down her golden skin, into the valley of her cleavage. My mouth salivates at the delectable sight and it’s all I can do to stop myself from leaning down and licking it up with my tongue. My cock hardens and I hear the slight gasp that expels from Denley’s mouth as she notices. My eyes lower to her lips and I wonder what it would be like to finally kiss them? Would she taste like I’ve imagined? Maybe she’s sweeter than I anticipate or maybe she’ll burn me like a red hot cinnamon candy?

      “Get off me!” She rudely interrupts my kissing fantasy as she shoves both of her palms against my chest. I push against the floor with both of my hands and raise my torso off of hers, feeling a sense of loss as the press of her full breasts is no longer cushioning my chest. It’s only as I’m kneeling between both of her legs that I realize my towel has slipped off leaving me completely naked and hard as a rock. We both stay still, paralyzed by the awkwardness of this situation. My eyes wander over her face taking in her flushed cheeks and the nervous way she’s biting on her lower lip. As I try to lock my gaze on hers, I realize she’s staring right at my dick. Knowing this makes more blood flow to that area and I swear if I hadn’t just jerked it like ten minutes ago I’d be showering her with come right now. As it is I can feel a bead of pre-cum gathering on the tip and thinking about how amazing it would be if she would lick it off isn’t helping matters any. I groan out loud and close my eyes for a moment, trying to regain control of my teenage libido.
Christ. Get a grip.

      When I open my eyes back up, I don’t look in Denley’s direction. I grab my towel and hold it in front of my still hard cock as I rise to my feet. I do the best I can to wrap it around me without exposing myself to her anymore.
Should I help her up?
Not sure what the gentlemanly thing to do is, I hesitate lost in indecision.

      “Go. Away!” She yells at me, snapping me out of my thoughts, prompting me to hurry to my room.
What the fuck?
I sit on the end of my bed and breathe as if I’ve just run three miles. I relax my upper body, falling backward onto the mattress with my feet still braced on the floor as I replay the last five minutes in my head. By the end of it, I’m stroking my cock in my tight fist imaging her lips and tongue wrapped around it. My orgasm pulses out of me powerfully, as if I haven’t come in days instead of only minutes. This is what just thinking about her does to me. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to have her for real.
