I stared blindly at the watercolor that hung above the sink. Going to bed with Riley. I closed my eyes. The thought of actually sleeping with her hadn’t even occurred to me. It had been hard enough sleeping next to her when I didn’t think she had any feelings for me, but now…The word “torture” came to mind.

I will admit to killing time on dishwashing and showering because I wanted Riley to be asleep when I got out of the bathroom. It was nearing midnight and I was exhausted, so I figured she must be even more tired than me. I finally had nothing else to do, so I crept into the bedroom half expecting to find her asleep. The bed was turned back, music played on the stereo, and for once the sky shone clear and black through the glass double doors. I walked around the bed to look out, and nearly shrieked when Riley stood up from her position hunkered down in front of the stereo.

“Damn, you scared the shit out of me.”

“Sorry.” Her voice was so much softer than mine that it made my outburst seem even louder. “Would you dance with me, Foster?”

“Dance with you?” I repeated.

She walked toward me and, not waiting for my answer, folded her arms around me and pulled me close. I was still a little in shock, so I just stood there for a minute before I began to relax into her embrace. She even moved well. Not that what we were doing was all that complicated, but I could tell that if she wanted to, Riley could probably hold her own on the dance floor. I pressed my face into her shirt and inhaled. I don’t know when I had gotten into the habit of smelling her, but I was fast becoming addicted. Intensely aware of her hand moving up and down my back, I groaned and melted into her. I don’t know how I felt it, the sensations were almost intangible—a slight pressure in my back, a small bend of her knees—but a bloom of hot arousal flared in my crotch as our height difference became an asset rather than a hindrance.

“Foster, I want to kiss you. Just a kiss and a dance, that’s all. We don’t have to do anything else.”

It sounded simple enough, until I looked into the pools of compelling blue that told me that this was anything but simple. One kiss wouldn’t be enough for either of us. I knew it, and so did she. I almost laughed at the fact that I was supposed to be the reasonable one here.

“Relax,” she said.

Her breath, or was it her lips, brushed mine. We were barely moving now. Her lips trailed lightly over my cheek as we swayed to the music. I felt fingers run up and down my sides. I inhaled sharply as she finally gave up all pretense and her hands went under my shirt. I felt heat roll off my face as she caressed my back.
