I'll keep you a secret, until tomorrow

It took them a few days to get Embree and all of her things moved into Zack's place. He was still a little worried about what would happen if the kids from school found out.

Today was her eighteenth birthday and I knew there was really nothing anyone could really do about it, other than him losing his job at the school, teaching music. That was what he really didn't want to happen. He loved teaching music to those kids. Today was the day before they both had to return to school. He had taken some time off to take care of her and get everything squared away with the moving situation.

He could tell that she was nervous about going back to school and that she wasn't exactly excited about the idea. He felt her move under the blankets, before seeing her roll over toward him, wiping her eyes.

"Good morning, beautiful," he said with a smile. She was so cute when she had just woken
up. "Happy Birthday."

She groaned. "You had to remind me, didn't you?"



Zack gave her a confused look. "Do you not want it to be your birthday?" he asked.

She shook her head. "It's not that, I just don't want to make a big deal out of it." Zack shook
his head in response to her gesture.

"Alright. We don't have to. We can stay in and I'll make you a nice dinner. Maybe invite Jamie
over." She shook her head quickly.

"I just want it to be me and you."

"We can do that too." He agreed. She shrugged, cuddling into him.

"I don't know. I think it's just because I have to go back to school tomorrow." I pulled her
closer. "Do I have to?"

Zack smiled. "Unfortunately yes, you do," he stated.



She whined. "I don't want to," she stated.

A short silence filled the room before she turned to him. 'I've been thinking."

"About what?" I asked, looking down at her.

"Well.." she started, shifting under the covers to lay halfway on top of him as she caressed
his jaw. "Since today is my birthday, and I"m legal age and everything, I was wondering if you
wanted to take our relationship to the next level."

Zack smiled. "You want to?" he asked, knowing she was talking about making love. She
nodded. "I do."





He smiled and leaned up, pressing his lips to hers. He had wanted this since the first time
he laid eyes on Embree. As cliche as it sounded, he knew from the moment he saw her there
would be something between them. It pained him as he thought about the curcumstances
that actually brought them together.



It didn't take long for the kiss to get heated, although he was still being careful and cautious.
This was their first time being this intimate with one another. He moved his lips to her neck,
as her hands found their way to his hair. She tangled her fingers into it, giving it a light tug. It
was like she knew that he liked it. He could tell that she was smirking at my moaning at the
sudden gesture.

He could hear it in the slight moan that followed his own. Zack slipped his hand underneath
her shirt, moving his hand up slowly over her ribs and stopping right under the curve of her
breast. She raised up, pulling it over her head, tossing it to the floor, before laying back down
and letting him continue.



The more he looked at her, the more that he wanted her. He had never wanted someone so
bad. Moving his lips farther down to her chest, he looked up at her as if he was waiting for
approval to go further. Her eyes were closed and her head was back. Another moan escaped
her as m
y mouth made contact with her left nipple. He reached over with his left hand and caressed
her right breast, taking the nipple between his thumb and the curve of his first finger, pinching
it. She moaned out, arching her back, her hands finding his shoulders this time, before
pushing him down farther. He let go of her nipple, leaving a trail of kisses, down her
stomach, stopping when he reached the elastic band of the black panties she was wearing.
Once again, he looked up at her for approval. Still her head was back and her eyes were
closed. He didn't want to seem too obvious. She would probably wonder what he was waiting
for, so so went ahead.

He slipped his fingers into the sides of her panties, pulling them down, leaving small kisses
where the fabric had been. The look of her had him heated in the most wonderful way. He
could feel the tightness forming in his boxers, as he looked down at her. He needed her and
he needed her now.

He removed her panties from her, before crawling back up and pressing his lips to hers once
again. He felt her legs snake around his waist, and her hands make their way down his
sides, slipping her fingertips into his boxers, pushing them down as far as she could. He
raised up, taking them the rest of the way off and tossing them aside, before returning to the
position he was in. This time kissing her neck. He felt his cock brush against her just as she
moaned. He was in a panic, wondering wether or not he had a condom.

Zack raised up, reaching over to the bedside, opening the drawer. To his luck there was one
in there. He grabbed it quickly, opening it up with his teeth, before rolling it onto his now fully
erect cock. He ran my hand up her thigh, gripping it as he slid all of his length into her in one
swift movement. He closed my eyes, letting out a loud moan. It had been so long since he
had been with someone. He had almost forgotten how amazing it felt. She moaned looking
up at him. He could tell by the look on her face that he needed to be still for a minute and
give her time to adjust to his size.

"You alright?" I asked, a bit worried.

She nodded. "Mhmm."

He leaned down, kissing her neck, then her cheek. "Tell me when you're ready." he
whispered against her skin, letting her feel the warmth of his breath on her.

"I'm ready." She said after a breif moment.

He nodded, kissing her jawline once again, before starting a slow pace. Holding himself up
on one hand, He reached up and brushed her hair out of her face, looking at her, getting a
little faster with his speed. He was watching to make sure she didn't give any sign that he
was hurting her. It never came. Instead, she closed her eyes, gripping his back and shoulder.
Before he knew it, he was pounding into her. Both of their moans filling the room. He could
tell she was getting close. He could feel her clamping down around me. Zack thrusted faster
and harder as he reached down between the two of them, rubbing her clit. This sent her over
the edge.

He felt her entire body tighten as she came around him, triggering his own climax. He leaned
down, burying his face into her neck as he let out a loud moan as the wave of orgasm hit
him; her hands still gripping his back.

Zack moved off of her, pulling off the condom and throwing it in the trash bin beside the bed.
"Are you alright?" he asked, brushing strands of hair out of her face.

She nodded. "I'm great." she replied, still trying to catch her breath. "That was amazing."

He smiled. "You're amazing."

She smiled and the room got quiet for a brief moment. "Zack, There's something I want to tell
you." she said, propping herself up onto her arm, looking at him.

"What's that?" I asked with a grin.

"I love you." She blurted. A short silence took over the room.

"Are you sure?" he asked.



She nodded. "I'm sure. I honestly don't know where I would be without you in my life, Zack.
You've rescued me in more ways than I thought I could ever be rescued. You saved me from
things that have haunted me since my childhod and I can't thank you enough for that." She
paused.

"Embree..." I froze before speaking again. "I love you, too."

She smiled. "You don't meet people by accident. They come into your life for a reason.
You're reason was to save me and make me feel loved. I haven't felt love like this in a very
long time. I've loved you from the first day I met you in that classroom. The way you talked to
m
e
and the way you had interst in everthing I knew how to do.. You.. cared."

He smiled. "Of course I cared, babe." He brused her hair behind her ear once again, and
could see the tears pulling at her eyes, and wanted nothing more than to just hold her and
show her how loved she was. He wanted to show her how loved she could be. In that
moment, he wanted her. He wanted a future with her. He wanted a life with her; And in that
moment, Nothing else mattered.
