I wondered if we had never met , If we....under basic circumstances had not known each other , would he have moved in?, would he have comforted me or supported me ?, would he have told me that it was okay and I did nothing wrong?, I wondered but I knew I could never ask. If I had just been a random person , would he have still held my hand and defended me.

The table dug deep into the back of Rheas thigh as Denver backed her more to the table , it was not rough, not rushed but...deliberate and before Rhea knew it , Denver had wrapped his hand around her waist and lifted her up to the table , it was like he had been imagining his distance for years and he could finally claim it, her heart was beating so fast and Denver eyes were unreadable , what was he thinking , he had always been quite unpredictable so she couldn't tell. He leaned in closer and just stopped a breath away , his eyes slowly scrolled from her eyes, nose then her lips , " if you tell me to stop now....I will move away but if you stay.....", he leaned in closer , his voice came out in whispered breath, he tilted his head a little, his gaze softening as he met her eyes again, his sincerity and authenticity was raw, " then let me worship you", his tone was coated in that of raw longing and somewhat desperation, his voice was gentle yet hypnotising, he was giving her a choice , she could leave right now and dismiss everything they had both said or.....she could stay with him , she heaved softly, her clenched fists releasing itself, she looked up at him, his eyes full of affection, that gaze that lingered in her mind constantly, She could feel that tingling warmth all over her body , she slowly raised her hand, a hint of hesitation , reluctance before she placed her hand on his chest , that rhythm of his heart thumping against his chest was the same as hers, it was almost like she could see it, her hand slid upward as she gripped his shoulder , " then...", he leaned in closer and their lips made brief contact, barely meeting, Denver watched her , waiting for any disapproval, waiting for her to push him away but...., she didn't, instead her gaze held something, affection, want, desire?, he didn't know what it was , he just wanted her and just like that he claimed his lips with hers.
Almost immediately Rhea responded back, his lips on hers felt surreal, it felt like something heavy from her chest had been lifted and a certain warmth released, all the burden, shame , everything right now didn't matter, he departed a little and Rhea unknowingly let out a soft moan if dissatisfaction, his lips were warm and soft, she wanted more , Denver carresed the side of her face with a small smile before leaning in again but this time he kissed her on the forehead causing Rhea to slightly lift up her head at the unexpected kiss, the contact of his lips on her forehead made her feel...loved, that gentle gesture made every memory of her past seem insignificant and all she wanted to do was hold on to him . Denver gaze locked on hers as if studying her, every angle of her no matter where he looked from was beautiful, he never thought this could ever happen , he had always thought that just watching her from afar was okay, that he could be contempt with it but.....when he had seen her at the reunion,he realized that he couldn't continue like that and now that he was holding unto her , he didn't want to let her go, be it greedy , call it selfish , he wanted her for himself.
He leaned in again and you could see his eyes had slightly darkened, the he mummured against her lips....." Stay the night...", not giving her time to think, he swallowed those words in a kiss, his words had sent a shiver down her spine , his voice low, tempting and deep, almost rythmical, he kissed her again, deeper, more insistent, her had tilted back a little as Denver etched himself between her legs, his other hand wrapped around her waist as he pulled her closer , it wasn't forceful neither was it gentle, their bodi3s pressed against each other, heat emnating from their bodies despite the cool atmosphere, it was intoxicating almost like they were drunk on each other.
Ten years they had waited ,yearned to an exhausting and frustrating level and loved one another before knowing it themselves and now...., Denver angled her face as he deepened the kiss, it felt like they were the only ones in the world, not caring of space or time, Denver departed, their breath rasp , both flushed, Rheas cheeks were flushed red as she bent her head low burying her face in his chest leaving Denver a little confused, Denver slowly bent down , his lips slightly brushing at the top of her ear as if to tease her , Rheas hand fisted on his sweater as her face turned beet red, warm breath and the slight reverting touch of his lips on her ear, it felt provocative but at the same time it was enticing. " Are you embarrassed....?", he whispered, a slight hint of amusement laced through , Rheas hand clenched more tightly onto his sweater , a fistful enclosed in her palm, that tingling warmth that she had been feeling since the kiss....., she raised her head a little meeting his gaze, he looked calmer now , his hand cupped her face and she could feel both the roughness and the warmth of his palm....., she sighed softly , " why would I be embarrassed?....", Denver smiled warmly at her then he leaned in closer , it was expected so Rhea wasn't startled or anything , the house was so quiet but in a very comfortable way, their lips still held that slight taste of cocoa, " have I told you....that I like you so much". She had heard it so much from him since the beginning , she had always known about his feelings , when she didn't even know what love was...he showed her all of it, Rhea scoffed a little before cupping his face with both her hand, his eyes were twinkling with a joy that knew no bounds, she stared at him , she was curious, how could be so happy, she wasn't sure of herself , what if something were to happen and she ends up running away again, she couldn't imagine the pain he would feel.
She carresed his face with her thumb, she was thinking like a coward again, " what are you thinking about?....", Denver asked as his hands cupped her waist, Rhea smirked before she kissed him again, " I'm thinking of how I want to kiss you right now....", she never knew those words could come out of her mouth, Denver smiled before he kissed her again, one of his hands crept to her chin mid kiss , using his thumb to part her lips a little before deepening the kiss more , her legs hung loosely on his waist as she wrapped one of her hand on his neck while the others was face palmed on the table , Denver slightly opened his eyes, their lips still together, just looking at her, she was just so beautiful ,his eyes though dazed slowly scrolled to her exposed collar bone , that barely noticeable birthmark at the side of her neck , for some reason, though crude, he wanted to lick it,how will she react?, what sound will she make?.
Those thoughts , so unholy , what was he imagining ,he delved more into her mouth, his fingers entangled with the bunch of her hair, " what was he thinking?", when would they stop?, he nibbled at her lower lip causing Rhea to moan a little , for some reason that seemed to snap something in him as he quickly departed from her lips , those warm and once demanding lips had left hers , she had noticed the slight change in the way he had kissed her, it was more rougher, intense and passionate and for a moment there, she couldn't breathe , he sighed probably out of frustration , his hand loosely fell from her waist as he looked away, it was like he was ashamed , his eyes did not meet hers, their breaths were still trying to settle in and they were flushed. Rhea tilted her head confused at his action , " Denver.....", she called his name , it was gentle, he loved when she called his name , whether she was angry or being gentle, he loved his name being called from her lips , she didn't know how hard this was on him, he scoffed as he leaned his head on her shoulder , his breath was steady, warm and fanning against her neck, he liked her so much , " this is getting too hard for me....", he whispered against her neck.
That tingling warmth spread through, what should she do, her heart was beating so fast in this quiet room , her heart thumping unevenly against her chest seemed louder and before she knew it Denver had hooked his arm under her legs and carried her, Rhea instantly wrapped her arms around his neck , she didn't question it, she didn't want to ask, she leaned her face unto his chest, the slow rhythm of his heart contrasted with that exploding feeling of hers, it made her calm.
The door of the bedroom slowly opened as he took her in , he gently laid her on yhe bed , his hands moving with such care , then he gently tucked her into the blanket, Rhea clenched the edge of the blanket. After a moment of such care he just stared at her, his hand caressing her hair , soft waves entangled between his fingers , his eyes were warm but there was still a hint of an unwavering desire like he wanted to devour her, his eyes slowly scrolled to her lips , it was slightly swollen, his gaze softened , he must have gone too hard on her but at the same time he was satisfied, " I will be back...", he said, his voice comforting.
" Where are you going?....", she asked , Denver smirked,then he bit the inside of his lower lip before looking away, just her stare was tempting, " j....just to warm up.....I will probably be gone for a while....just sleep okay", Rhea pressed her lips together before nodding.
************************************************
Denver was slightly panting , the air was cooling the sweat on his skin, it was refreshing and now he was calm , if he had gone any further , if he had kissed her any longer , would he have held himself, he felt ashamed of himself, when she had finally opened up to him ,he just had his mind spiral into that direction , his soles beat against the ground more aggressively, he was still going home and at the end of the day he was still going to see her , he couldn't believe they had finally reached his point, so what were they now?, could they now call this a relationship?.
