EBONI.
We sat on the ground resting our backs against the book shelves. We looked around the dark empty library with wide smiles on our faces. I looked at him & admired him. I couldn't look away from him, he's beyond perfect.
He turned his head to look at me & his smile grew, his dimples deepened.
"You're so pretty." He whispered & my heart fluttered at his words.
"Thank you." I whispered, then looking away from him hiding my smile.
I moved closer to him, my shoulder touching his.
I then made a bold move by straddling his lap, a surprised gasp slipped through his lips. His grey eyes looked deeply into my brown ones. Pure admiration & lust filled in his eyes.
I gently took off his glasses & set them aside. I grabbed his hands & placed them on my hips. He then boldly moved them down to my ass.
"Eboni-" I cut him off by kissing him.
He moved me up a bit & I felt his bulge directly under me. I gasped when he gripped my ass & began to move me slowly back & forth on his growing bulge.
Soft whimpers left his lips.
"I want more." He whispered against my lips & I grinned.
"Not here." I whispered as I pulled away from our kiss & he slowly nodded his head.
I was completely caught off guard when he suddenly stood up & out of reflex, I held onto him & wrapped my legs around his waist. His hands firmly gripped my ass holding me tight.
He stood still & held me up in his arms for a few seconds. He then slowly put me down & bent over to grab his glasses off the ground.
I looked at him stunned.
"Um..."
"I'm a nerd, I'm not weak." He said chuckling at my stunned expression & I smiled.
"I know, but-"
"You're not heavy Eboni." He said softly with a reassuring smile & I could feel butterflies forming in my belly.
He grabbed my hand softly & we walked over to the couches in the far corner of the library. There's no one here, it's completely empty. The librarian had given us the keys, allowing us to stay here past business hours.
He sat down on the couch, then pulled me onto his lap.
We are in the poetry genre area of the library. He reached over & grabbed one of the poetry romance books.
He opened it & read the first page to me elegantly.
' when I am with you, I feel weightless, free. In your arms I feel safe, warm, loved. I am set free, released from all of my pain. I know the love between us will never fade."
He read those beautiful words smoothly, his voice being delicate & soothing. I couldn't stop the smile that grew on my lips. My heart fluttered & butterflies filled my belly.
"Wow." I said stunned.
"This is how I feel about you." He said softly, his voice being smoother than silk itself & I smiled.
"I love you." I whispered.
"Ti amo Eboni."
