Falling Fast and Breathing Hard

It was now July and things for my mom have gotten better. She still lived where she resided with Ronnie and once the divorce is over and he's in prison, the house will be hers and he'll never be allowed anywhere near his former home. That certainly put a huge smile on my face; my mom was happy and so was I, more than I have ever been in a while. I'm spending time today by myself after work since Kris will be out with friends. I needed some time to myself and this would be the perfect evening for that. I came home from work, changed into comfortable clothes and turned up the music on my computer after dinner, mind you while I browsed the inter-webs. When the song Born For This came on, I got up and danced and of course, sang my heart out.

Oh no I just keep on falling
(Back to the same old…)
Where’s hope when misery comes crawling?
(on my way-ay)
With your faith you’ll trigger a landslide
(victory)
To kill off this common sense of mine

It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can’t down it with your eyes
So we don’t need the headlines
We don’t need the headlines
We just want…

(We want the airways back, we want the airways back)

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

Right now you’re the only reason
(I’m not letting go, oh…)
and I'm out if everyone’s worth pleasing
(wa ah)
You’ll trigger a landslide
(Victory)
to kill off their finite state of mind

It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can’t down it with your eyes
So we don’t need the headlines
No, we don’t want your headlines
We just want…

(We want the airways back, we want the airways back)

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure?

Alright, so you think you’re ready?
Ok, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for this
(We were born for this)
Alright, so you think you’re ready?
OK, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for this
(We were born for this)
We were born for this
(We were born for this)

We were born for
We were born for

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?

We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this

Around eleven, I felt my phone vibrate while I read one of my favorite Stephen King books.

Is it okay if I come over in around an hour?

Obviously, it was Kris.

Of course. You're welcome anytime. You know that.

I continued to read for another half hour before I decided that I wanted to sing and dance again. I wondered what I should listen to until it just came to me. New Found Glory.

This is my relapse
That I've succumb to
I went through things no one should have to
I could have never let this slip
I could have let this slip

And everything I do it reflects you
You went through things no one should have to
I could have never let this slip
I could have let this slip

It's all those things you say out of nowhere
I'm taken back by you
It's all those places that you've shown me
I'm taken back by you
Taken back by you

This is the future, can we save it?
We've done things no one thought we could do
This is the picture, can you paint it?
We could have let this slip

And everything they do, it reflects you
You make sure you know what's going on
Just because it might not relate to
I'm taken back you

It's all those things you say out of nowhere
I'm taken back by you
It's all those places that you've shown me
I'm taken back by you
And nothing beats not knowing what's gonna happen next
For all those nights you've held me so long,
I'm taken back by you
Taken back by you

Yeah, I owe everything to you
Every darkness, I'll shine through
I have doubts, don't blame me
Don't let this slip
Don't let this slip

It's all those things you say out of nowhere, I
For all the nights you've held me so long
I'm taken back by you

Taken back by you
Taken back by you
Taken back by you
Taken back by you
Taken back by you
Taken back by you
Taken back by you

It's all those things you say out of nowhere
I'm taken back by you
It's all those places that you've show me
I'm taken back by you
And nothing beats not knowing what's gonna happen next

For all those nights, you've held me so long
I'm taken back by you

I only began singing and dancing to a few lyrics when I felt a hand on my shoulder that scared the living daylights out of me. I stopped and went to turn off the music.

"Why'd you stop? I was enjoying it." he whined.

"You scared me!"

I walked away, but he got to me and picked me up.

"I'm sorry." he said against my neck.

It tickled and I wanted his lips back on my neck, so I decided to forgive him and continue with my one woman act.

"Ok. I forgive you and I'll continue."

He smiled and let me go. I turned the music back on and restarted the song.

"Ready?" I asked after I kissed him on the lips.

"You bet."

When I got to the chorus, I made sure to look right at him when I sang it. He blushed then smiled. After that, my smile was bigger and harder to wipe off. Kris was certainly enjoying himself as he sat on my bed and by the time the song came to an end, I was ready to attack. I jumped into his lap and we began to kiss. I felt his hands at the bottom of my shirt, trying to pull off my shirt. We separated and I laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" he asked.

"I don't know." I said, shaking my head.

He sighed and didn't laugh. I was confused as to why he was acting this way.

"Kris. Tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong actually. I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"About how much I love you."

I blushed.

"I love you, too." I said before kissing him on the lips.

We hadn't actually spoken those words till now and hearing them makes me feel unbelievable; it's indescribable. I pushed him down and whispered in his ear.

"You wanna do this?"

"Yes. You have no idea." he said, looking me straight into my eyes.

"Alright. Let's get going then." I said with a smirk.

He finally got to take off my shirt and the look on his face was one of pure lust. My heart raced and I could feel myself getting wet. I pulled his shirt off and finally was able to run my hands over his toned chest.

"Enjoying yourself?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes."

I felt him trying to take off my pants.

"Need help?"

He nodded.

I got rid of them and then Kris' pants were thankfully gone as well. He attacked my neck as he made his way down my body; I knew that I'd be sure to have a hickey when I woke up tomorrow. When he reached my panties, he looked up to say something.

"Can I take these off?" he asked with a smirk.

"Of course!" I said, giving him the look.

He quickly pulled them off and when he touched me, I almost lost it.

"Damn!" he exclaimed.

As he continued to drive me crazy, I had no idea how I wasn't coming yet. When he finished with his torture, he came back, so I could remove those very flattering boxer-briefs. As he put on a condom and slowly but surely made his way in. I gasped when I felt him enter me and stopped when he was finally in. Yes. He's that big. The look on his face was one of pure lust and intensity as he focused on me; that alone drove me crazy. This was like my first time although it truly wasn't, but still, the feeling was unmatched and unbelievable; it was intense and full of passion. He went back to my neck one last time before he made his final thrust and we came together. Ten minutes later, we laid on the bed, hot, sticky and drenched in sweat.

"I love you." he said.

"I love you, too."

He turned on his side to look at me and touched my breasts, of course; the man loves them. I let out a light moan.

"Fuck! Will you stop making me moan?" I asked.

"Do you really want that?"

"Um... no. You're right."

He smirked, yet I rolled my eyes, trying to keep a straight face.

"Anyways, how are you feeling, besides exhausted, of course?"

"Amazing. I was in ecstacy the entire time. You are ridiculous just like your body. You?"

He laughed.

"Amazing as well. Gotta say, that body's of yours is flawless. That sex was mind-blowing."

I blushed.

"You can say that again."

"Anyways, I'm about to fall asleep."

"Me too. Goodnight. I love you."

"Night. Love you too."

We kissed one last time before falling asleep after the best night I've ever had in my life.
