Chasing Leah (Journey Series) (18 page)

He balances me on the edge of
the counter and cranks the dial to turn on the shower which immediately creates
a steam of air in the chilly bathroom. I admire his toned body while he has his
back turned to me. “Like what you see,” he asks as he turns back around in that
gravelly voice. “Well yeah the view is pretty good,” I say as he teases his
fingers up and down my arm, adding more
goosebumps
to
my already chilled skin. I wrap my legs around his waist to draw him closer and
slide my hands up his body starting at the edge of his trunks, working my way
to his chest and landing on his broad shoulders.

His green eyes look like there
glowing as they follow the trail of my hands. He leans down and presses his
warm full lips to my collarbone kissing and sucking his way up to my neck and
along my jaw feeling the stubble on his face scratch against my skin until he
reaches my waiting lips. Our kiss adds to the steaminess that has already
fallen over the small bathroom. He attacks my mouth almost ferociously, probing
every inch with his warm tongue and catching my bottom lip in between his teeth
before sucking it into his mouth. I try to wrap my legs even tighter around his
waist to bring him closer and run my hands through his hair, pulling gently. I
smash my mouth into his as he tries to back up a little bit and I take over the
kiss with an urgent need to be closer to him with my tongue caressing his,
lightly brushing over the cool silver.

He pulls back again breaking our
kiss, trying to catch his breath, “Are you sure about this Leah? I don’t want
to move things too quickly with you.”

“Yes I’m sure Chase.
As long as you’re sure.
You know I have
like
no experience with this.” I’m sure Chase has had plenty of girls and I won’t
even compare. He places another brief kiss on my lips before answering. “That
doesn’t matter at all Leah.”

I nod my head at him in reply.
“Good then. I want you.
NOW.”
I add on forcefully at
the end as I try to bring him back to me.

He gives me a little laugh and
chews on his bottom lip. “Ok, then
we’re
going to do
this right. We have plenty of time so let’s just slow this down a little bit.”
I look up at him with a surprised look on my face. From what I have heard most
guys want one thing. Not Chase apparently.
Just another thing
to add to the list of him being perfect.
Chase picks me up off the
counter setting my feet back on to the floor and kneeling in front of me. Even
on his knees with my shortness and his tall height his head comes up to my
shoulders.
“First things first.
You’re still freezing
so let’s get you into the shower.”

He reaches behind my neck and
pulls out the knot undoing my top and slowly slides it off, throwing it into a
wet heap onto the floor. I reflexively try to cover myself by crossing my arms
over my bare chest but Chase pulls my hands down to my sides. I’m not used to
someone staring at me naked, taking in every part of me and I’m suddenly self
conscious of my body.

“Don’t Leah, your beautiful. I
want to kiss every inch of your body.” He leans his head down and kisses a
trail of light kisses down from collarbone until he reaches my chest and takes
each nipple into his warm mouth while cupping them with his other hand and
lightly kneading. He flicks his tongue over the first and gently nibbles before
switching to the other and giving it the same treatment. I throw my head back
and squeeze my eyes shut while the warmth flows through my body.

He begins to work his way down,
placing light kisses down my stomach as he grips my hips and undoes the side
ties of my bottoms, tossing them to the side. And then I’m standing completely
naked in front of Chase. Chase. Who himself looks like a god with his perfectly
proportioned body.

I look down at him as he
continues to trace my body with his lips. “I think you need a little less
clothing on too,” I say as I reach down and undo the drawstring on his trunks.
He reluctantly stands up tearing his lips from my body as he slides his trunks
down. He steps out of them and then he scoops me up and carries me over to the
shower.

“You really need to stop doing
that. Really, I can walk perfectly fine,” I say as he sets me down into the
steaming shower. He doesn’t even give me an answer before his lips are on mine
again and I wrap my arms around his neck, melting into the kiss. Chase pulls
away after spending just a short time on my lips and grabs the little bottle of
shampoo. He squirts a small amount into his hand and begins to work the shampoo
into my hair and then grabs a washcloth and washes my body from head to toe.
After rinsing me off, I turn and do the same to him, taking in every inch of
his well defined body while he watches me with a look of lust in his eyes.

Chase rinses the soap off
quickly and then turns the shower off and steps out to grab towels. He wraps me
in a white fluffy towel after wrapping one around his hips and again picks me
up and carries me into the bedroom laying me down in the center. I could really
get used to be carried around everywhere.

Chase drops his towel on the
floor and climbs onto the bed wedging my legs open slightly with his knee as he
moves the towel aside, pinning me to the bed, and works more kisses up my belly
until he reaches my lips again. “You’re sure about this right Leah?”

I roll my eyes at him and
playfully shove at his chest. “Will you please stop asking me that? Yes. I’m
sure,” I say as I press my lips back up to his. He pulls back a little, “Kay
well hold on I need to get some protection. I picked some up at that store in
town.
Ya
know, just in case,” he says with a sexy
grin, his eyes twinkling back at me. He reaches over to the small nightstand
next to the bed and places the small square foil package next to us.

He slides his fingers down my
stomach and brings them down to my thighs before teasing me with a finger and
gently pushing one in and then adding another. “You’re really tight, so this is
probably
gonna
hurt.” I can already feel the warmth flowing
between my legs and he must sense it too because he pulls his fingers out
before coming back to my lips and giving me another long kiss, probing his warm
tongue through every inch of my mouth before tearing the package open and
sliding the condom on. “I need to be inside of you now,” he groans out, looking
down at me with hooded eyes. I think that’s when reality really set it. I was
doing this. We were doing this.
Together.
With Chase.

He must have sensed the tension
in my body because he leaned down to whisper in my ear, his warm breath
tickling me. “Relax. Tell me if it hurts but I’ll try to be gentle.” He lowers
his body against mine until our skin is warm against each other and slowly
pushes himself in, inch by inch. I can feel the slight pinch and a brief shot
of pain as he pushes in further but I try to cover it up with a quick intake of
breath while Chase is looking down into my eyes. “Breathe Leah.”

We lay there together, our
bodies adjusting and molding to each other like we were made for each other.
Chase slowly starts up a rhythm as our bodies move together and I wrap my legs
around his waist, locking my ankles around him while trying to pull him closer
as he thrusts in and out and I arch my hips up to meet him. My whimpers grow
louder and
Chases
warm breath comes out in heavy pants
against my neck. We both come closer and closer to the edge so quickly after
all the build up and I feel my body tightening around him as I let go and
breathe Chase in and he finishes right after me clutching at my hips and
thrusting two more times before collapsing on top of me breathing heavily
against my ear, placing light kisses on the outside.

“Leah,” he breathes out as he
buries his nose in my hair. “That was amazing, I’m glad we waited for a little
bit at least. That was perfect. Are you okay, was there much pain?” I turn my
face towards his and give him a kiss on each corner of his mouth. “It really
was perfect Chase.” I’d never felt so alive and happy before in my life. Now I
could see what Ally was talking about when she filled me in on all of her
sexual adventures. Chase wraps his arms around my waist and we lay there
together with our bodies intertwined and both drift off to sleep.

Chapter 17

Chase

Last night with Leah was……I
don’t think one word could describe it.
Amazing,
unbelievable, once in a lifetime.
I’ve been with my fair share of girls
and nothing comes close to comparing.
The look in her wide
gray eyes when we made love shot straight to my heart.
There’s that word
love and I think it’s totally happening with her. Mom said I would just know
when I found the one and I think I already have. Not that I’m
gonna
clue Leah in on that just yet. She would freak the
fuck out if I brought that four letter word up. I just need to give her a
little time.

“Hey buddy, you want to help me
make your Mommy some breakfast?” I ask Caleb quietly after leaving Leah
upstairs asleep. I really didn’t want to pull myself away from memorizing every
inch of her beautiful body but I could hear Caleb stirring around downstairs
and I knew three year olds normally found trouble pretty easily. “Sure Chase.
Can we have pancakes? Please, please! Mommy loves them!”

“Of course dude, let’s get ‘
em
started.”

Over the next two days we got to
know each other even more including each other’s bodies. Leah cooked meals for
us while I would play my guitar, some songs that I’d been working on and some
of the goofy kid ones that Caleb would request. Luckily I had a pretty big list
of those, Belle loved when I played for her. We bundled up and explored the
area around the cabin including the small pond that was beyond the cabin. We
saw a lot of wildlife including some brave deer when we were drinking our
coffee the morning we were getting ready to leave.

“Thanks Chase,” Leah says as we
throw clothes into our bags. I stop and wrap her in a tight hug, breathing in
the scent of her strawberry shampoo. She’s so small compared to my big guy
frame, I want to just pick her up and carry her around in my pocket. She would
probably fit. “This weekend was
perfect,
even after
all I had to deal with on Friday. You being there made it so much easier.”

I lean down and kiss her
forehead before turning away and gathering the last
of
 
our
things. “Good Leah. I just wanted
to make it easier for you and I hope it helped. Plus I didn’t mind getting to
spend some alone time with you,” I add with a wink.

I pulled out of the driveway and
head back towards the highway. We had about a three hour drive ahead of us
before getting home. Leah had already talked to Ally this morning and said she
would be waiting for her at home. I’m sure Ally was dying to know all the girly
details of what went down.

“So,” Leah says as she runs a
small hand up and down my arm. “I really want us to work but
..”
Really, after this weekend she was
gonna
try that?
“Is this where I get
the but
let’s just be friends
again Leah,” I ask with a wince. I don’t think that will work at all. “Because
no offense but after this weekend I don’t think I can be just friends with
you.”

She laughs and brings my hand up
to her lips, kissing my knuckles. “No Chase. Really it meant just as much to me
too. I was just going to say we’ll have to figure out how we can make this
work. I’m really busy with work and school and Caleb. I know you’re busy with
school finishing up and your performances but I do want this. I need to live my
life and I really want you to be a part of it, even if it’s just
squeezing dates in between everything that’s
going on.”

I glance over at her with I’m
sure a look of relief on my face before training my eyes back onto the road.

“Good Leah. Trust me I feel the
same way. We can make it work I promise. I’ll do anything to make time to be
with you.”

She lays her head on my shoulder
and snuggles up as close as possible to me with the console being in the way. After
making a quick pit stop, we arrive back at our apartment complex around three
in the afternoon. As soon as we pull in I see
Skylars
beat up Volkswagen van and know Ally must still be around waiting to bombard
Leah.

We part in the hallway before
heading to our respective apartments. I lean in and give her one last kiss,
teasing her lips with my teeth before diving into the warm silkiness and minty
taste of
Leahs
mouth. She
grips the collar of my leather jacket to pull me in closer and I’m just
thinking about moving this along into my apartment when the door pops open and
a blonde head with green and red chunks pops out. “Oops, did I interrupt
something?” Ally says feigning innocence by covering her mouth in an act of
surprise. “And by the way I don’t think you should be getting all hot and heavy
in front of him.” She points down to a grinning Caleb who I
kinda
did forget about in the heat of the moment. Oops. Leah rolls her eyes at
Allys
act and gives me one last kiss. “I’ll call you once I
found out my schedule and we’ll get together soon.”

“Kay bye baby,” I say before
sneaking in one more kiss before Ally grabs Leah and
Calebs
hands yanking them backward into their apartment. “C’mon,
loverboy
can wait. He’s had you to himself all weekend. Bye Chase,” she says as she
blows a kiss over
Leahs
shoulder and slams the door
in my face. I head over to my apartment and unpack my things still smelling the
scent of Leah everywhere, remembering her soft kisses and small hands. I would
see her again but not soon enough.
