“Baby, I have a list as long as my arm with regrets where you’re concerned. Fucking you, anytime, anywhere, is not one of them.”
Teyler steps back from her and reaches behind his neck to pull off his costume’s top and reveal his bare torso. It’s even better than Colleen remembers from years ago. Sure, she’s been working out with him, walking and doing yoga, lifting weights, and she’s seen him shirtless, but this was different. This was Teyler turned on and ready to pounce on her, and the sight was glorious.
His broad shoulders are strong and lead to his arm porn-worthy biceps. His muscles flex when he flicks the snap on his jeans. Then his back comes into view as he bends to lower them.
Colleen can’t help herself. Her hands reach out and run over his dark skin. She feels him tremble at her touch and she lowers her lips to his chest, the spot just above his quickly beating heart.
“I love the way you touch me. The way your skin looks against mine. Perfection, baby. Everything about you is perfect to me. You’re beautiful.”
Colleen grows shy and lowers her head. She wasn’t perfect, far from it and she’s not sure if she can let go while they do this. She’s still so deep in her head about her body and weight.
“Coll, baby. Stop,” Teyler demands. “Look at me. I’m not doing anything to you that’s going to make you uncomfortable, okay? Tell me what you need?”
“Okay. I don’t want to sound like some old shrew, but can we not turn on the lights?”
“I want to see you. I want to watch your face when you come on my cock. Can we open the curtains a little, let some light in that way? If it’s too much, you can close them, but baby,” he says grabbing the bulge of his dick through his briefs, “you don’t need to worry about whether or not you’re turning me on.”
Colleen’s eyes lower to the front of his body and a groan escapes her as she considers another possible issue. “Um…”
Teyler smiles. “What now?” he asks as he was just about to remove her shirt.
“I’m…I, ah, it’s been a very, very long time for me and that is not ease back into the sex game size.”
Teyler laughs then rips her shirt over her head. “I’m glad you noticed.”
“I’m serious.” Colleen breathes as Teyler licks from her ear to her cleavage then sinks his face between her ample breasts. “The last time we did this, I was prepared. I haven’t had sex with a man in years.”
Teyler had heard her mention not being with anyone since him, but it never really processed through his brain. “Wait, what?” he asks, slowing himself down and releasing his fingers from her jeans. “I heard you before, but I guess I didn’t give what you said much thought. You haven’t slept with anyone since me?”
“No,” she states as she covers her exposed torso, Teyler having slipped off her bra at some point when she’d been in her head over her concern for her lady parts. “I had Taylor to take care of then my mother got sick. I missed you and no one lived up to my standards. I stopped taking care of myself because I was too tired from taking care of everyone else and I gained weight. I got fat.” She starts to cry. “I felt horrible about myself and I didn’t want anyone to see me like this, so I avoided men. I avoided life.”
Teyler pulls her into his body and holds her in his strong, safe arms while she cries.
“You must have been so lonely. I’m so sorry I wasn’t here for you.”
“Yeah, well, that was my fault too.”
“It’s in the past. I’m here now and I’m not going anywhere…ever again.”
Teyler walks them to her bed and lies down, pulling her with him. He doesn’t make a move to remove her jeans or fondle her breasts. She figures now that he’s seeing her this close to naked, he’s probably changing his mind and about to leave.
She knows her stomach is far from flat. The extra rolls might be a smidge tighter now that she’s been doing sit-ups while Teyler laid beside her and did three for her every one, but she still had stretch marks and a paunch. Her thighs still touched, and she wouldn’t even consider rolling over once her pants were off to let him see the cottage cheese of her ass.
“Tey.” She tries to get off the bed, but his strong arms hold her to his chest. “Maybe we shouldn’t…”
“If you need time or I’m making you uncomfortable, yeah, we can slow down or wait. But, if this is because you’re in that pretty head of yours, which I know you are, thinking you know how I’m feeling, no.”
“What? I don’t…”
“You’re running through a list of every fucking body part you don’t like, am I right?”
“Tey, I don’t…”
“These piercing blue eyes, right here,” he says as he plants a gentle kiss to each one. “I see how scared you are behind them, but I also see that girl I fell in love with when I was a still a boy. The one that showed me kindness, the fun-loving girl that let me squeeze watermelon and strawberries over her belly and lick off the juice, the adventurous girl that sucked my cock while I laid on the beach where anyone could have found us.”
“I’m not that girl anymore.”
“I’m also not a boy anymore, Coll. I’m a man who has no plans on letting you hide any longer. It’s time to start living life again.”
Teyler sniffs at her hair. “This soft, silky hair. I remember the first time I ran my fingers through it. You were the first white girl I was with. Your hair was so different from the girls I had been with before. I knew I’d never get enough of it.”
Teyler taps her button nose.
“Don’t say a word about my nose. You know I never liked it. It’s too small and I still hate that it makes me look like I’m two years old.”
Teyler laughs. “I love it. I love everything about you.”
He licks his way down her neck, his tongue wetting her skin and leaving a chill behind in its wake. He kisses one then the other shoulder. “I’ll never get the image of you in that pink dress that had the frilly thing at the top and hung off your shoulders, out of my head. I got caught jerking off once thinking about you in it.”
Colleen laughs and slaps at his arm. She’s growing more comfortable with every word of truth he says. “Shut up! When? Where?”
“In the hospital. My father made them give me a private room because he didn’t want pictures or word of my injury getting out. My parents had left for the night.” He shrugs with a mischievous smile. “And I thought the nurses would leave me alone until morning. But a new one came on shift; it was her first night.”
Colleen’s eyes widen. “Oh, man.”
“Yup. I wasn’t even being discrete about it. Like pulling it under the covers.. I thought she was going to hit the floor.”
“I bet. It’s a sight, you know, your dick.”
“Yeah? Anytime you’d like to see it, it’s all yours.”
Colleen grows somber again. “How-How many?”
“What? How many what?”
“How many women since that summer?”
“Oh, baby. I couldn’t answer that if I tried. I have no idea. More than I’m proud to admit.”
