Chapter 4

Their kiss broke, and Dana gazed into Greg’s eyes, and she was slightly out of breath. Greg started to run his fingers through Dana’s hair.

“Thank you, Greg.”

“You don’t have to thank me for anything. I enjoyed it as much as you did.”

“No, you don’t understand.”

“What don’t I understand?”

“That was, Dana sheepishly stammered, that was my first kiss.”

“You’re kidding! You mean no one has, Greg stopped his question before it turned into an insult. I mean, you just seem like such a special girl. The guys in this town are fools if they don’t see that.”

“Yeah, they are fools. But who would want someone like me? I weigh like 175 pounds, and I”

“And you’re pretty to me, Greg interrupted.

“You think I am pretty?”

“Yes, I do. And let me ask you something. Did you like it when we kissed?”

“Yes. ”Would you like to kiss me again?”

“More than aything.”

Greg and Dana started to kiss again. Greg wrapped both of his arms around Dana, and pulled her body close to his. Dana started to run her fingers over Greg’s back, and she could feel Greg’s breath on her cheek. She opened her lips slightly, and she could feel the warmth of his mouth against her lips and tongue. Greg slowly slid his tongue into her mouth. He felt the blood rushing to his penis, as their tongues made contact. The contact surprised Dana, and at first her tongue recoiled, before she relaxed and allowed it to frolic with Greg’s tongue.

Dana started to feel a stirring inside of her. She needed to be closer to Greg. She broke the kiss, and moved backwards on the couch. She was three-quarters of the way down the couch, kneeling.

“Greg, lay down.”

“Okay.”

Greg did as requested. His head was on a pillow next to the arm of the couch. His legs wrapped around Dana’s thighs. His erection was sticking out, but he didn’t care to hide it anymore. Dana lay down on top of him.

“I am not too heavy for you, am I?”

“Dana, stop it. I guess there is only one way to get you to stop talking.”

Greg kissed her, and their tongues resumed their playful dance. Reaching down, Greg felt the sweatpants covering Dana’s butt. He dragged his hands up her back, feeling the waistband of her underwear, before stopping on a patch of bare skin. He ran his fingertips over he lower back, around the spine. Dana shivered.

“Does that feel okay, Dana?”

“It feels great, please don’t stop.”

Dana started to kiss Greg on the cheek, and then onto the neck. Feeling her breath on his neck and ear gave Greg shivers of his own. He went back to caressing her back, and he moved his hands further up, below the sweatshirt. Dana was still concentrating on the neck and ear of Greg, and he proceeded to slowly move his hands up her back. Suddenly, Dana stopped, and got back up onto her knees. She took her glasses off, and placed them on the coffee table. The then grabbed the bottom of Greg’s t-shirt, and started to push it up his stomach. Greg lifted his shoulders, and helped her get the shirt over his shoulders and head. Rubbing his chest and stomach, Dana started to lean back on top of Greg. She got about halfway before Greg stopped her.

“We took off my shirt. Can we take off yours?”

Dana kneeled over Greg again, and pulled the sweatshirt up over her head, and threw it on the floor. Quickly, she fell back on top of Greg, before he could look at her in a black bra. Dana felt her skin against Greg’s smooth, hairless chest. Her nerves were on edge, sensitive to every place where their skin made contact. They started to kiss with more fervor.

Greg rubbed up and down Dana’s back using both his palms and fingers flat against Dana’s exposed, soft flesh. His hands went over the strap of her bra, and stopped. He fumbled with the clasp, trying to get it unhooked. After three of four tries, he stopped.

“Dana, could you help me out?”

“You are having a little trouble? Dana giggled while asking.

“I never said I was very smooth.”

“I have to warn you, they aren’t very impressive. It is probably the only area where I am not fat.”

“Dana, we are half-naked on the couch. Isn’t that proof enough that I find you attractive?”

Dana raised herself onto her knees again, her butt being poked by Greg’s erect penis. She pulled the straps off of her shoulders, and slowly the cups fell away from her breasts. She pulled her arms out of the straps, and moved the bra about her midsection until the clasp was in front, underneath her chest. Greg reached up, and placed each hand on one of her breasts. Each one filled the palm of his hand, and his fingers fell to her side beneath her armpits. Dana removed the bra and tossed it on the floor.

“They’re not too small?”

“No, I think they’re perfect. You are so beautiful.”

“Greg, you are so wonderful!”

Dana went back to kissing Greg on his cheek, neck, and ears.

“Dana, that feels so good, Greg said, as his hands explored Dana’s back and sides. Greg felt the hot breath of Dana on his ear, and he wanted to feel more of her skin against his. His hands wandered down Dana’s back, to the top of her panties, and then to the waistband of her sweatpants. Feeling her warmth on him drove him to desire more. He eased his fingertips below the elastic band of her underwear, and he started to feel her butt. He grabbed each cheek, and lightly touched her butt crack with the fingertips of his right hand. Dana took a start to this.

I am sorry, Dana.”

“No, it felt really good. It is just a little sensitive, and I wasn’t expecting it. Here’s let’s try this.”

Dana reached over and threw the back cushions of the couch onto the floor. She lay on her side, with her back against the back of the couch. She guided Greg’s shoulders, and he followed, twisting himself, so that he was on his side facing her. Before they started kissing again, Greg reached for her breasts again. He then moved down the couch, and her nipples were at his eye level. He looked at her hard nipples, with areolas that were about the size of a poker chip. He kissed her right nipple, and slowly took it into his mouth. He started sucking on it like a straw, before playing with it with the tip of his tongue. Dana started to run her fingers through Greg’s brown hair. Greg tried to take more of the breast into his mouth, as if he was trying to swallow the whole thing.

“Greg, are you still hungry?”

“What? Oh, do you not like that?”

“It is just my nipples are a little sensitive. And I would rather you kiss my lips right now.”

“Oh, okay. I hope it didn’t bother you too much.”

“Don’t worry about it, just kiss me.”

Dana wrapped her arms around Greg’s neck, with her hands playing with the hair on the back of his head. Greg put his right arm over the top of Dana, and tried to get his left arm underneath her side. Dana accommodated by moving her torso up momentarily, and Greg’s arm shot through the opening. They smiled at each other, and continued with another deeply passionate kiss. Their tongues met again, and Greg pulled Dana closer to him, their chests pressed against each other. The wetness of Dana’s breast from Greg’s could be felt on his chest. Dana could feel Greg’s heart racing, the beat pounding against her skin. Greg again moved his hands down to Dana’s butt. Instead of putting his hands inside, he started to peel down her underwear and sweatpants together. When the clothes were halfway down her butt, Dana stopped him.

“Greg, I think that’s a little too far.”

Greg immediately pulled the garments back up to their original position.

“Please, don’t be mad at me, sweetie. I have never done this stuff before. I want to take it slow.”

“I am sorry for being so aggressive.”

“Don’t be sorry, sweetie. I am experiencing something totally new, because you were aggressive. You probably think I am being a prude, but I don’t think I am ready to go farther than this right now.”

“It’s okay, I understand. I am just happy to be with you right now. “You keep being sweet like that, and you will have your way with me soon enough. But, I just need to get comfortable with all this. After all, I just met you this afternoon. You’re not mad at me, are you?”

“No, I am not at all. I want us both to be comfortable. It wouldn’t be worth it if you are going to feel guilty later.”

“Thanks, you are such a sweetheart.”

They kissed again. Dana looked at the television screen. It was all blue.

“We missed the end of the movie, she said.

“This was much more entertaining.”

“I hope that Mom doesn’t ask me about the ending.”

Greg was only partly paying attention to Dana’s words. He saw her face illuminated by the blue light. Stunned by this heavenly sight of her, he was moved to speak.

“Dana, I have something to tell you.”

“Yes, sweetie, I am listening, she said, and she looked back at him with a contented grin.

“I don’t want to freak you out, but I this has been the most amazing night of my life. You are just so beautiful, and so special. I know we just met, but I have this strong feeling right now. Greg felt a tear come to his eye.

“Greg, this has been very special for me, too. You are so sweet, and so nice. I wish that you didn’t have to go back to school so soon. I wish that we had met earlier. So many guys don’t even look at me, and then you come along and absolutely sweep me off of my feet. And now, you’re going away in a few days.”

“But, I’ll be back, Dana.”

“I am going to miss you so much. I can’t believe it. I have only known you for five hours, and already I am going to miss you.”

“I think it has been longer than five hours.”

“What? What time is it?”

Dana reached over Greg and grabbed her glasses and the remote control off of the coffee table. Greg felt her nipples press against his side, and wished she wouldn’t move. Dana, in the same position, put on her glasses, and hit the display button on the remote control. Greg started to caress her back with his fingertips.

“Shit, Greg. It’s eleven o’clock.”

“See, I told you it was longer than five hours. It has been like seven hours.”

“No, you are missing the point. My mom’s shift ends at eleven. She’ll be home in the next ten minutes. Quick, get dressed!”

They both jumped up, and grabbed their clothes. Greg pulled his t-shirt over his head. Dana hurriedly put her sweatshirt back on, and got up from the couch with her bra in hand. She walked over to the doorway of her bedroom, and threw the bra on top of her bed. She walked back to the couch, to find that Greg had put the cushions back onto the couch. She saw Greg folding the blanket.

“Greg, you don’t have to worry about that, she said as she grabbed the mugs, and moved them next to the sink in the kitchenette.

“No problem, I am almost done anyway. Greg finished folding the blanket, and draped it over the back of the couch. Dana grabbed a plate from the dining room table, and handed it to Greg. She took the other one.

“I’ll help you carry these over to your place. “Thanks.”

They walked out into the hall, and into the Simmons apartment. The door was unlocked. Gingerly, they walked into the dark apartment, and they put the plates onto the counter in the kitchenette. They tiptoed back to the door, to not awaken Greg’s parents. They slipped back into the hallway. Greg walked Dana to the door of her apartment.

“Good night, Dana. Thank you for a great time.”

“Thank you, Greg. It was wonderful.”

“I want to see you again before I go back to school. What are you up to tomorrow?”

“I have to work from four to midnight.”

“Rats. I promised to volunteer at the senior citizen center from noon until three.”

“What time do you leave for school on Sunday?”

“Noon. I have to be there by four. The finance group that I am in has a semester kickoff meeting that I have to attend.”

“So, I guess it’s Sunday morning.”

“Breakfast at eight?”

“I will be at church with my mom. How about ten?”

“Ten will work. I wish we had more time.”

“So do I.”

Greg gave Dana a hug. The top of her head was at the base of his neck. She squeezed Greg closer, and Greg rested his cheek on top of Dana’s head. He felt Dana’s head move, and he looked down. They kissed one more time. After nearly a minute, Dana pulled back from Greg.

“Good night, Greg. I will see you on Sunday morning.”

“Good night.”

Dana went inside her apartment. Greg went into the adjacent apartment, and flopped onto the couch. Within seconds he was asleep.
