Zacky no we cant do this She turned her face away from me after a few more minutes, I sighed and rested my forehead on her neck, hiding my face.

Riley why are you doing this?

Because I dont want anything to change, what if we do get together and then it all blows up in our face? Zacky I wouldnt want to lose you at all

But how will you know that unless you try? I couldnt bring myself to let go of her, but she wouldnt look at me, her hands resting on my arms as she rested her forehead against my shoulder.

Because Im scared, Zacky Im still so confused by these feelings I thought that we never had that kind of relationship, Zacky I want it, but Im scared

Please just give us a chance Riley, Ive waited thirteen years just to tell you how I feel, dont make me wait even longer, I know you feel the same way, and Ive been wishing for years that you might just even have the tiniest reflection of those feelings for me. Riley just let me show you, that we will work, we can work

Im scared

I know, but Ill be here every step of the way, and its only us now, no one has to know
if you dont want them to I saw the resolve in her eyes then.

Can we just keep it between us?

Forever if you want me to I smiled.

You cant tell anyone

Itll be hard, but for you anything I said, I couldnt really contain it anymore after that,
I kissed her neck, then her cheek, and then finally her lips, she kissed me back hard, wrapping her arms tightly around my neck. I bent down and scooped her up, wrapping her legs around my waist, I smiled into the kiss, I was so happy right now absolutely nothing could ruin this moment as I carried her through her into my room.

I laid her down on her back and hovered over her on my bed. I kissed her slowly,
tangling my hands into her hair. I laid down on her properly and hummed in content. Riley shivered and pulled me tighter against her, I smiled into the kiss and moved my hands, skimming them down her body to the bottom of her shirt, I unbuttoned it slowly and pushed it from her shoulder, then I pulled mine off over my head and turned my attention back to her, I ran my hands all over her, wanting to be able touch all of her, feeling her under her my fingertips was just amazing and I couldnt get enough of it. She groaned and wrapped her legs tighter around me, her hands moved suddenly to my belt buckle.

Riley wait I said, pulling back from the kiss

Sorry

Its okay babe I smiled at her If thats what you want

Not yet She said I think we should wait this out, I mean the last time we were both upset but now were& well I dont know what we are but its not like before Zacky She said, I nodded slowly, chewing on my lip.

Okay& but if its alright, Id really like to kiss you again, youre amazing She blushed scarlet and wouldnt look at me.

Stop making me blush She mumbled against my shoulder.

I cant help it Riley, you are

Flattery will get you nowhere Mr Vengeance

Well damn, I was hoping I could sweet talk you out of those jeans, but I guess Ill just
have to work harder

A lot harder if you want me out of these jeans She grinned at me.

Damn I said moving to kissing her neck slowly, she hummed and let her head fall to the side, her hands running over my shoulders.

I thought of a way you might get my jeans off faster She said

Hmm? *Kiss* whats that?

Can I have that foot rub you owe me

Didnt I give you that?

No, and I want one now

Okay give me a minute I got up from the bed and grabbed the lotion from the top of my chest of drawers.

Do I want to know what else you use that for?

Maybe not I grinned up at her. She sat up properly and pulled her shirt back on. Aww I liked it better when you werent wearing a shirt

Slow down Zacky, and rub my feet

Yes Maam I said

I could tell Riley was trying to keep talking but I knew I was good with my hands and I had her asleep within ten minutes. It was a new record fo me.

X-X-X

You gonna wake up anytime soon?

No

But youre awake now

No Im not

You like my foot rubs then?

Yes, I wouldnt mind seeing how good your back rubs are

If youre lucky that might turn into a full body

And then youll pull me into bed and make sweet love to me

I can do that right now for you if you want me to

Not right now, Im still sleepy

Shame, I wouldnt mind doing that again, I love it when you say my name

Youre soft Zacky Baker; you might be hard on the outside but inside you are gooey

Dont tell I said nuzzling my face into her hair.

Your secret is safe with me
