Belle’s lips were sweeter than any chocolate Shawn had tasted, and jucier than any fruit. He parted his lips to savor her better. He tasted her plump bottom lip and then her top. He was enjoying himself. He let his hands slide from her face, past her shoulders and accidentally, brushed the sides of her breasts with the backs of his hands. He broke the kiss, dropped his hands and looked at his shoes.
Belle gasped for air, grabbed his hands and placed them on her waist. She had trembled when he touched her chest, no one had done that before. She was enthralled by his touch. She wrapped her arms around his neck and lured his face up with her mouth. Shawn saw those lips and followed them with his lips parted. Belle leaned in softly, unsure at her boldness. Again, bliss.
Shawn was reassured. He continued to kiss her lips. He slid his tongue into her mouth. The kiss deepened. They pulled each other closer, their bodies shared warmth. Belle pulled away from the kiss and stared into his eyes.
Silence.
Shawn reached up and tucked a loosened strand of hair behind her ear. He gently pressed his lips against her.
“Shawn, that was my first kiss.” Unfortunately Shawn could not say the same. He wished he had shared his first kiss with Belle, but in a way he had. He never experienced a more passionate kiss or moment than that one.
A fierce gust of wind suddenly came and the boat rocked on the pier, scraping its side.
“Belle it looks like it’s going to rain again. I don’t want to do this, but maybe we should get out of here.”
“So you’re taking me home?” She was a bit disappointed, but then again it was their first date and kiss. She wanted to relish in this moment forever.
Shawn nodded, “I think that would be best. I wouldn’t want you to get soaked.”
Shawn walked Belle home and they stood at the door to her home.
“Thank you for the incredible evening Shawn.” Oh no, was that too eager?
“I had a great time Belle. Thanks to you.” He smiled and grabbed her hands while leaning into her and gave her a brief kiss.
“Good night Belle. I’ll call you tomorrow.” He gave each of her hands a kiss and smiled. She smiled back and went inside. She leaned on the door and let out a small, quiet scream. He kissed me!!!! Belle ran up the stairs and got ready for bed. She couldn’t sleep, she just sat in her bed under the covers, listening to the soft rain falling and thinking about her first date and kiss. What would Shawn say when he called her tomorrow?
Shawn opened the door to his room. He had been caught in the rain. The entire walk home he thought of Belle. She was so beautiful, so delectable. Tomorrow he would call her and they would talk about their first date and kiss…maybe he would ask her to go out again, very soon. He laid down on his bed on top of the covers with his hands under his head and let out a deep sigh. He smiled to himself. He had taken a risk tonight, and it was well worth it. Now he had to think about what to do next.
