Chapter 5 Elizabeth After finishing all that, Austin turned off the electric torch. At that moment, his body was only a few inches away from mine. And the distance was still shrinking. It was silent aside from the pounding of the rain on the tent above and his breath as his chest brushed against my back with every movement, his legs tangled together with mine. My senses are on edge, my skin tingling. This is more than I ever expected. "Austin?" I asked, trying to distract myself. His hot breath brushed against the back of my neck. I felt a little fear. "Yeah?" His voice was rough, tight like he was just as uncomfortable as I was. "I'm not sure if this is a good idea," I whispered. "Emm, at least you don't feel cold anymore, right?" No, but my skin felt like it's on fire. I gripped tightly to the edges of the sleeping bag, resisting the urge to slide my hand down. We lay together, close to each other. Outside, the rain grew heavier, but inside the tent, it was eerily silent. The stillness made me feel both awkward and restless. I cleared my throat, trying to break the tension. "So, how's school going?" "College?" Austin asked, quietly. "Yes, your graduation is coming up, right?" I felt the brush of his fingers across my shoulders. "What do you plan on doing?" "I plan on moving back home in the spring, actually," His hand slid down to my waist, resting there idly as he leaned in just a bit closer. I held my breath, pretending not to feel the hardness clinging to the curve of my butt. The ends of his wet hair slide across my neck as his lips pressed against the tip of my ear, and said, "I missed you." When it twitched, I sobbed back. I may not be experienced, but I've read enough stories. At this point, Austin was hard, and there wasn't a crack between us when he pressed me so tight. "Yes, you haven't had a good time with Dad and Grace for a long time." He nodded. "I miss them too." The stubble on his chin fluttered around my neck and made me shudder. If he had moved his arm up a bit, he would have seen that my nipples were as hard as rocks. He looked down at me. "What about yours?" "My what?" I looked up at him, and being so close to him made me a little foolish. The words appeared and disappeared as quickly as lightning in the sky. "Ha, school, bookworm, isn't that what you do best?" He asked casually as his fingers lazily wandered around my navel, and drew little circles along my skin. Further down, it's my underwear. Another inch and I'll explode. Every part of me was clamoring for him to break through that line and give in to the impulses we were creating. It's just unbearable. "Well, I'll probably go to community college, which doesn't look much different than high school. But I'm thinking of moving out." "Living with your boyfriend?" His voice almost melted me. I swallowed, not sure if I wanted to tell the truth. "A guy named James has been asking me out, but I haven't decided yet." "You went out with him?" "No, I didn't." I sighed. I don't understand why we have to talk about other people when we're so close now. "What about you?" I asked, tilting my head to try and catch his glance. It's always easier to reveal your deepest secrets in the dark. "Oh, there was only one girl I liked all along, bookworm." "He whispered, his breath brushing my ears. He's lying here, right next to me, telling me he likes other girls. "Who? " God, I'm so jealous. Do I know her? As I tried to push him away from me, my heart seemed to burst out of my chest. I'm so angry right now. "Yes, you know her." He let go a laugh and it made our bodies press more tightly together. I didn't have time to miss his touch before his whole palm laid out over my lower belly. But then reason got the better of me. I pressed his hand down and stopped his next move. "Well, who's she?" "You haven't figured it out yet?" His tone is playful, just like his fingers. He hold me into his embrace until I felt every inch of his body pressed against my back. "It's you, bookworm." My heart rapidly beat. A shiver ran down my spine as his whispered words hit me. It was like trying to understand gibberish because I couldn't possibly have heard him right. "Me?" I repeated incredulously. "It's always been you." "He whispered, his lips caressing my earlobe. I felt like I was melting and my mind was blank. He continued, "I've wanted you for a long time. You drive me crazy." "You can't mean that." I opened my mouth wide and closed it slowly. His confession left me speechless. I must have been dreaming. It has to be. If so, I'm at least going to see how it plays out before my alarm rings. I bit my lip, gathered my courage, and guided his hand deep into my underwear. Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
