His face was inches from mine and this time I didn’t let the moment go to waste. I kissed him hard and fast, as if I was drowning and he was my life line. I put my hands on the back of his head, pressing my body closer. Liam sunk back into the pillows, pulling me on top of him, and groaned as I pressed down. Everything fit perfectly and felt so right; the feel of his body against mine, his touch, his caress.
He put his hands in my hair, pulling gently, and I moaned despite myself. We used to spend hours just snuggled up to each other, perfectly content in each other’s physical presence and nothing more. When we broke up, I told myself I didn’t miss it, but the truth was I was dying for him to touch me again.
His hands wandered down my back, and rested on my waist, pausing there as we continued to kiss. His eyes were closed and his face was relaxed from its earlier tension. I was in heaven.
“A-HEM.” I had forgotten we weren’t alone and turned around to see Porsche leaning against the door post looking amused. I jumped off Liam immediately.
“Uh…we were just…”
Liam stayed reclined on the bed, looking bemused as I struggled to fix my hair.
“It’s ok, Porsche’s an adult. She’s fully aware of what we were doing.”
“Not that I wanted to see it,” she replied, a small smile on her face. “You two need to just get back together already. Seriously. It’s just awkward.”
Liam and I glanced at each other, and then away. I felt my cheeks grow hot and didn’t know what to say. Apparently, neither did he, because he cleared his throat and changed the topic.
“Shall we go?”
“Yep.” I may have leapt up a bit too fast. “Are you coming, Porsche?”
“You two actually have half an hour,” she said, and I recognized a spark of the old fire in her eyes. “I’ve decided to get some food in the cafeteria before my empty stomach eats itself.”
“Are you sure?” Liam asked, and she nodded.
“Uh huh,” she said, although she looked ready to drop. “This is your day. Welcome to fame, Amy.”
“I suppose tripping and falling in front of everyone will be bad?” I said, trying to lighten the mood.
“All press is good press.” Porsche said, slowly grabbing her coat, even though it was a warm day. “It didn’t hurt Liam when he was falling down drunk every night and showing up to meetings stoned.”
“Uh…” Liam replied. “It kind of attracted a vampire to me?”
“Well, that’s your opinion,” she shrugged, and I laughed. And then she headed out the door, leaving us alone once again.
“So where were we?” Liam asked, and I looked back at him.
“Uh…” I replied, suddenly awkward. He pulled me back, so I was lying on top of him, our faces inches apart as I looked down at him. “We were…here.”
“Yes, we were.” He said, stroking my face. We kissed and I felt my whole body light up with passion. I squirmed against him and he groaned, pulling me closer. I felt his need through his jeans, and could no longer deny my own.
