Playing With Fire

He slid his calloused hand up her cheek 'til her ear was between his thumb and forefinger and he leaned in for a kiss. His intensity was like a blazing fire, so she matched it with hers. This was going to be dangerous, she could already tell but she didn’t care. She was making him completely obsessed with her. She was toying with a power she didn’t quite understand. Their lips met and he gently licked her tongue with his full luscious tongue. Their lips closed at the same time but remained pressed together. As they opened their mouths their tongues met again and went deeper. He kissed her slow but deeper still each time their mouths reopened. She responded in kind until she gently drug his lower lip between her teeth letting him know she liked it soft and rough at the same time. He pulled her closer and made a low guttural moan under his breath. They were laying on her couch facing one another pressed together with their legs intertwined. Tangled up together like this it was hard to tell when she stopped and he began. The anticipation built to the point that Justin had to pull away and take a breath.

“I gotta calm down.” He took a huge breath in and as he let it out, looked at her with a fierceness in his eyes that excited her, but she played coy as if she had no idea why he was so overwhelmed. They continued to kiss deep and hard. She was determined not to let herself become so filled with wanting that she would get down to soon. This was only the third date anyway. The only light in the room was from the smart TV playing her Pandora radio station. One thing that really connected them was their love for music.

“Oh, my God, I love this song,” Amber said barely above a whisper and with lips barely pressed together they began to lip-sync the words in unison. For some reason, that was so extremely hot and it set off another episode of intense kissing that Amber felt between her thighs. Justin was so handsome. He had these amazing blue gray eyes and dirty blond hair. On their first date, he took her to dinner and then out to a gravel bar where he lit a fire and strummed a guitar singing to her off and on and telling stories. He got pretty tipsy and so did she, so when he got down on one knee in front of her and kissed her she didn’t back away. She was completely tickled he was so compelled by her. She blushed when they were talking, and he threw her a compliment as if he wasn’t telling her something she didn’t already know.

“Oh, please, you know you’re gorgeous,” he said, like it was a fact that she was well aware of. The truth was, Amber was, at times, self-conscious. She knew she was cute, but rarely did she ever feel gorgeous.

She’d been dating for several months now; getting over her last beau had been one of the hardest things she’d ever done. She broke up with Christian while still very much in love with him. Amber was having a blast; however, having a blast with every man she went on a date with. Rarely did she go on a second date, but she was having a ball none the less.

Amber pressed her hips against Justin trying to feel his manhood, but she couldn’t. She wondered how this make out session could be so intense but yet he wasn’t at full attention. If he was at full attention, she feared, maybe he was not so well endowed. They decided to get up for a water break and Amber needed to get rid of any evidence of her excitement that might run down her legs. As she stood in front of the bathroom mirror she felt bad for being so shallow and worrying about the size of him. On the other hand, she decided to be real with herself—it matters. The last man she had been with asked for her number after she and her son knocked on his door selling cookies for a school fundraiser. Daniel said he’d call and place an order with them in a couple of days. She wrote her number on a sticky note. When she didn’t hear from him for a couple days she dismissed the idea that he might be interested in her and was only asking for her number for the cookies. The same night she decided to dismiss Daniel, she and her son and daughter went to a birthday party for a boy the kids went to school with. Low and behold Daniel was there at the same party. He was so sweet playing football with the boys and Amber loved the way he talked to all the kids. Daniel called her the next day and asked her out. Their romance was short-lived and mostly became late night calls for attention after the kids had gone to bed. Amber was careful not to introduce new men into the lives of her little people before she knew they were planning to stick around for a while and definitely not before she could determine what kind of man he was. Amber really liked Daniel but couldn’t help to dismiss him in a way because he was nearly seven years younger than her and had no children. He was a fantastic lover. There was magnetism and heat as well as fun and laughter. He had been released from the Army only weeks before, so his body was muscular and thick. He was big and thick pretty much everywhere. His skin was so smooth and firm Amber loved to run her lips and tongue all over him. She and Daniel were still seeing each other when Justin asked her on a date. She and Daniel hadn’t made any commitments to one another except to tell each other that they weren’t seeing anyone else. However, Daniel had a “best friend” that was a woman and they spent a great deal of time together. A week or so prior to meeting Justin, Amber came over to Daniel’s house and as soon as he turned over to have her massage his back, she saw a human sized claw mark across his back. She said nothing, only massaged his back and then said she had to go and in a rush, she left. Her heart sunk, but she was realistic. They were fuck buddies. He tried to act like it was more but she wasn’t dumb. She knew what it was. Amber figured, “Fine, I’ll go on and see other people also, I’m not in love with Daniel so who cares.” Back on the dating website she went.

Justin made her laugh with his crazy stories. The way his mouth moved when he talked intensified her lust for him because she knew how those full soft luscious lips felt on hers. He had a 5 o’clock shadow type beard coming in that reminded her of Mathew McConaughey, cliché or not, she loved beards. Justin was not muscular like Daniel, but he still had man’s hands that were rough and strong. He was thinner than Daniel, but not toned at all. Justin loved that Amber was only five feet tall and she loved him being six feet. She was attracted to his tattoos, voice, vibrance, and honesty. Justin made her feel so good. Actually, the last few guys she dated had made her feel really good about herself. Her vibrations were probably the highest they’d ever been. At the moment, she was on top of the world.

Amber came out of the bathroom and met Justin at the kitchen sink where he was drinking ice water. He handed her the cup and turned toward her.

“Look,” he pointed to his pants, “I can’t remember the last time I got wet just from kissing. You’re torturing me, girl.”

Amber blushed red and looked up at him with her big doe eyes as innocently as possible. “What do you mean?” she said sheepishly.

He looked at her fiercely in disbelief. “You know exactly what you’re doing, don’t you play that with me,” he nearly growled. He slid his hand down her back to her ass and pulled her into his body. He kissed her again hard and deep. She melted into his kiss and then pulled away continuing the cat and mouse game.

“Let’s go smoke,” she said. With a spin on her heel, she practically skipped out of the room and he followed her out the front door.
