Chapter 18

She threw her arms around the back of my neck, holding me tightly with the same amount of excitement. We moaned together, our lips smacking loudly, our heads quickly dipping and tilting. I then quickly broke away from the kiss, panting wildly whilst amorously kissing down her chin and around her neck as she moaned and tilted her head back.

"Ohh, Anthony...!" she moaned. I responded to her calling my name by homing in on her lips and sharing another brief, hot kiss with her.

Our passionate kissing came to a halt as we took a moment to catch our breath. Her eyelids hung low as I gazed into her hazel eyes. Both of us were eager to find out what came next.

"I am so turned on right now," she breathily admitted. "You're a really good kisser. I had no idea you were like this."

"I was thinking the same about you," I remarked, just as winded as she was. She smiled with an open mouth as her breathing started to relax a bit.

"You are super-cute," she said. "I always liked that about you."

"I love everything about you," I couldn't help but admit. "I have ever since day one. ... I feel like I've been missing out on how fun and...energetic you are. You're a friend I'd really like to have."

Talia smiled and slightly tilted her head, surprised yet enamored with what I had to say.

"That's sweet of you to say," she replied. "You and I can always start being good friends." I smiled and gently stroked her back.

"Good friends, huh? How good of friends?"

She smiled and chuckled lecherously, her eyes filled with lewd intentions.

"Very good friends...," she ambiguously replied before leaning in to share another kiss with me. I kissed her back, both of us sighing happily.

When she calmly broke away from the kiss for a brief moment, I was still eager to keep going. I leaned back in and began to place gentle, airy little kisses on her lips over and over again until they spread into a big grin and she laughed.

"That kind of tickles," she happily remarked. I couldn't help but take advantage of such an admission.

"Oh yeah? You're ticklish?" I asked as I suddenly began to tickle her belly with both hands, drawing raucous giggling out of her as she hunched over and frantically grabbed at my hands.

"Stop!" she protested between giggles. "Stop-stop-stop!"

I heeded her call and placed my hands behind her hips, smiling at her as she caught her breath again.

"I guess you are ticklish," I said. Talia gave me an incredible smile of pure bliss as she looked into my eyes and put her arms around the back of my neck.

"You're so much fun," she calmly said. "I really like this side of you."

I smiled back at her, thanking her for her compliment by leaning in and taking her lips into my own once more. She eagerly kissed back, the two of us quickly slipping into a deeper, intimate kiss.

She ran a hand up and down through my hair while I did the same with her lower back. I took control of the kiss, throwing self-restraint out the window with her completely naked against me.

Pretty quickly, my hands became restless and I slid them up her front to take hold of her soft, round breasts. She moaned in protest, gently grabbing my hands and pulling away from the kiss. I looked at her in confusion.

"Take your time," she softly said. "I really want to remember this..."

I nodded in understanding, letting my hands slide away from her chest and circled them around to her back. I slowly ran my hands up the length of her back and down again to her dimples of Venus, keeping just outside her spine. Talia sighed in content, firmly holding me by the back of the neck once more.

She held me tighter, pulling me close and letting my chin rest on her shoulder while she did the same with me. I gazed down her back as I calmly stroked her warm skin, listening to her sigh and mewl in delight. I smiled and closed my eyes, resting on her shoulder and taking in the warm, intimate moment of bonding I shared with her. The sweet scent of perfume on her skin and conditioner in her hair was so feminine and relaxing. Everything about her was soothing and so engaging, feeling as I thought I was connecting with her in body and spirit.

I then slowly ran my fingertips up and down her sides, feeling her ribs expand against me as she breathed deeply before letting out a deep, pleased sigh. My hands slipped behind her again, gliding down the soft skin of her ass, hearing her gasp softly. I smiled and trailed down to the backs of her thighs and then up the length of her back once again.

She then pulled back a bit, letting me gaze upon her smiling face again.

"I like the way you touch my body," she softly remarked. I smiled back at her as I gave my response when my hands reached up to her face. I tucked her long hair behind her ears and then slowly traced my fingertips along the outlines of Talia's delicate face.

She smiled happily; fluttering her eyes closed and sighed quietly in pleasure as I caressed her face.

"That feels so nice...," she whispered, gently scratching the back of my head.

I chuckled softly while moving my hands parallel to each other as, I gently brushed over the facets of her face like a painter using my fingertips as brushes.

"You're really beautiful," I softly remarked. She smiled.

"So are you," she replied before I ran a gentle thumb along her soft lips. Talia mewled softly as I circled my thumb around them for just a moment. I then slipped my hand behind her head, guiding it toward mine and kissed her.
