“Hey, Betty, what’s up? I didn’t know that you were coming by.”

I was getting ready to take a shower, after working out for a while. My shirt was off, and I only had some running shorts on. I had her attention, her eyes falling over all of my chest. It made me smile and I invited her in. Whatever she was here for, I was more than happy to help out where I could.

“I wanted to know if you were busy tonight.”

“I had that set to go to. Do you not want to go?”

She agreed that she did, but I could tell that there was something wrong. Betty wasn’t very good at hiding her emotions and something was bothering her. I needed to find out what it was because I didn’t like to see her frowning. Betty must have thought that I would be able to help her, or she wouldn’t have come to me.

“I do, it’s just…”

Something was stilling her tongue and making it hard for me to get a straight answer out of her. Why wouldn’t she tell me what was going on?

“What, what is it, Betty? I don’t think I’ve seen you look like this before. Why don’t you just tell me what is going on, and I will help you.”

“My parents want you to come over for dinner tonight.”

I chuckled before I could stop myself. She acted like it was the worst thing in the world, but I could think of far worse things than that.

“What time?”

“We eat at nine.”

“That’s cool. We will finish up a bit early and get back here. It’s no big deal.”

“You’re okay with it?”

“Yeah, why not?”

“Because it’s my parents.”

I waved her off. I had dealt with so many complicated people that I didn’t even really think about it anymore. I was brought in to bend a person’s will for my father. I was rather good at reading people, so I didn’t get intimidated with anyone, not even her father.

“Nah, I don’t worry about it. It will be fine. Is there something I need to know?”

She said that there wasn’t, but words were still dying to come out. She gave me this look like I wasn’t being truthful, but I was. Her dad would like me, just like everyone else did that I wanted to. I cared about Betty, and I wasn’t going to mess this up. I knew how to turn the charm on when it was time. Apparently, it was time.

I finally said something about her staring at my chest, and she looked away quickly, face getting red. I loved the color on her cheeks, even more because I knew that I had caused it. Betty still lit a fire inside of me and when I got a little more attentive to her luscious curves, I started to peek out more and she told me so, face burning.

“Is that what you are look at?”

“No, I mean, yeah. But, that’s just because it’s all right there.”

Betty was stuttering, another adorable trait I was going to enjoy exploiting. She had so many, I was losing count. I moved closer and her voice hitched in her throat.

“You do this to me, Betty. You make it impossible to tame my feelings. I want to, truly.”

Her green eyes sparkled, watching my lips move closer to hers. It was all just a whisper on my lips, and she leaned in. That small movement was the permission I needed. That was all that it took for me to move forward the rest of the way.

As soon as our lips touched, I lost myself for a moment. She tasted so good and I had been waiting for it. We hadn’t been apart that long, but any amount of time without her in my arms was too long. Never had I dreamed that I would feel this way about a woman and now I didn’t want to let the feeling go, not even for a moment.

My moment was cut short, though. Apparently, it was too much for Betty and she was pushing against my chest.

“Why do you keep stopping me? I just want to kiss you.”
