Welcome to Gaia! ::

Despite his dismal mood, a real smile appeared and a laugh suddenly escaped his throat. His house was a mess and the thought of her walking in and seeing it as such made him smile. "Well it's been a while since its been cleaned but if you still want to go, we can. Unless you had somewhere else you want to go." The idea of getting a drink first popped into his mind, but most likely wherever he went there would be alcohol and possibly the idea of drowning his thoughts with Lilla.

She was still feeling unsure thought his laughter helped a bit. He was cheering up it seemed and that lifted her rapidly flagging spirits. "I don't care DJ." she said leaning down and kissing him softly. "Anywhere. I just want to be with you." She cupped his cheek and lifted his face so she could kiss him deeply, passionately and turned the kiss into a tool of seduction.

The kiss caught him totally by surprise and suddenly the idea of drowning his misery with alcohol was forgotten. Instead he was wrapped in this firey passion of a kiss and the world seemed better again. He kissed her back, not so much as wildy like she did, but more of a tender teasing way. He started to back out slowly, leading her outside and onto the street. "So I guess it's my place then?" But as the words came out, the thought of all the papers and plans for ECHO suddenly entered his mind. Too late now...

She followed willingly, needing him more than ever. All of her emotions were written plainly on her face, she had never been one to hide anything. When she felt joy, it was clearly seen in her expressive eyes. All the love in the world was shining in them now and she hailed a cab and once they were comfortably ensconced int eh backseat she grabbed him and continued what she had started in the bar.

She tried to tell him she didn't care but found herself talking to a closed door. So she took the time to check her appearance instead. A small flat compact was extracted from her purse and she opened it, critically surveying her appearance in the small mirror.

She knew she wasn't extraordinary by any stretch of the imagination, just another blue eyed blond girl but she did like to look well groomed. Her eyes were glazed and her lips were swollen from his kisses, her hair tousled from where his hands had run through it. It was a rather interesting look. Doing her best, she restored a bit of order to her hair, finger combing it as best she could. Then she pulled out her favorite lip gloss and applied it generously so her lips shimmered a light pink. One last quick check and the compact was closed with a snap and replaced.

Leaning against the wall she listened to the sounds coming from the apartment and strengthened her resolve. She was ready, they had been dating for more than three months now, it was finally time. She loved him, she knew that and she believed that he loved her. Everything was going to be perfect.

She closed her eyes and leaned back into him, her own arms coming up to cover his. It was just like she imagined. She inhaled his scent, clean and masculine wiht a bit of spice from his aftershave. His breath tickled her ear and she smiled at his words. She was right, he loved her. And if she had ever doubted it or was unsure, his words just now proved it to be true. Turning in his arms, her fingers delving into his hair and then curving around his nape, she pulled him down to her to share a sweet and tender kiss full of the love they shared. She broke away a few moments later and then looked around.

"I wonder what it looked like before." He had done a fantastic job cleaning up though she had a feeling he had just stuffed things in whatever place he could find. Walking through his apartment she came to his bedroom and leaned against the doorjamb surveying it for a few moments.

She stood there, eyes closed, fingers holding onto her purse tightly and exalted in his teasing caresses. Every time she reached out for him though, he danced out of her reach. It was a wonderfully pleasant, seductive game that she was enjoying immensely.

She opened her eyes and smiled when his kiss landed on her nose, then she looked around the bedroom. It was a typical guys' room. At least from what she had heard from her friends complaints in college. She had never actually been in a guy's room..well unless you counted the night she had fallen asleep in this very room. But it was still a new experience for her.

Depositing her bag on his dresser, she watched him sit down and then grinning walked over and sat down beside him. Happy thoughts of what the night would bring ran through her head and she rested her head against his shoulder.

She laughed and turned her head to kiss his neck and nibble a bit. "No, I don't want a beer. I want something else." Her mouth moved over his pulse, brushing feathering kisses as it sped up beneath her searching lips.

Slowly and tenderly she moved up until she was kissing his jaw and then the corner of his mouth and finally she settled her lips on his, kissing him softly, teasing him by nibbling on his bottom lip and running her tongue along it's smooth surface.

Her eyes widened, her heart swelled, and a warmth began moving throughout her body. She held him close and kissed him softly, wishing she could say the words back to him. She finally broke the kiss and looked deeply into his eyes.

"I love you too DJ." Her breaths were coming shallowly and her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were sparkling and she bent her head again and kissed his cheeks, forehead, eyes, nose and finally nibbled on his ear, whispering her own words of love.

It was hard to do it, she had to really focus but soon she was kissing him deeply and looking directly into his eyes. It was quite an experience and she felt so deeply connected with him. She watched his own eyes as she kissed him, they darkened with passion and took on an almost slumbrous look. It was indeed fascinating to watch. His touch on her skin made her sigh into his mouth and she moved her own palms over his chest, seeking for a way to get rid of his shirt so she could press her skin to his.

She nodded and finally pressed her palms to his already heated skin. She ran them along his chest feeling his muscles jerk at her touch. It fascinated her and she traced a line along it before seh realized he had asked her a question.

She raised her head to meet his and smiled softly, "No. There is no too far tonight DJ. I want to be with you. Completely and totally." She pressed a light kiss to his chest and ran her fingers along it again. Her foot moved and she realized she still had her sandals on so she kicked them off, then used her toes to caress his leg.
