Valentines Day

She’d lost track of the amount of couples holding single red roses as she waited for her boyfriend, Elijah, to come pick her up for their big ‘Valentines Day Date’. Tessa had been watching people cross The Promenade for over an hour counting the couples that were supposed to be her and Elijah.

“God damn it! Where the hell are you, Elijah!? You were supposed to be here over an hour ago!” Tessa yelled at nothing in particular. She was in her, and his, favorite dress, a silk black slinky thing with red silk trim around the bottom. Her toenails were painted a dark red to match the trim and she was wearing the new black sandals she’d bought just for the occasion. Her brown hair had been curled and primped and fried and dyed and highlighted and everything those women in that beauty salon could come up with. Her fingernails were painted, her face made up, and she was actually wearing mascara around her big hazel eyes. Here she was… all dress up and no place to go.

“You needn’t yell so loud, Baby.” The soft voice in her ear startled her as much as the hand on her waist.
“AHHH!” Tessa whirled around to find a very apologetic looking Elijah standing behind her. “God you scared me! Where the hell have you been?” Tessa yelled out her anger and fright. “Why are you so fucking late?!” Tessa threw one of the two sham pillows she was holding at the wall where it hit with a thud before falling on top of the poor unsuspecting cat, who then ran for cover in the bathroom.
“I’m sor-”
“What gives you the right to make big plans with me and then leave me waiting for an hour and a half? No, an hour and forty-five minutes! On Valentines Day too!” She ranted as she walked over to the window. “And then you came here saying your sorry?!” Tessa threw the other sham in the same direction as the first, but before the pillow had missed the awfully expensive vase sitting on the marble block. Unfortunately, this one didn’t.

There was a crash and Tessa whipped around again to see the broken vase in shatters all over the hard wood floor. “Awww damn it!”
“Tess, I’m sorry I’m late.” Elijah said slowly approaching the raging woman.
“Like hell you should be sorry!” Tessa said before turning to really look at him. “Oh my god. What happened?”

Elijah smiled woefully at her. His brown hair was tousled over his beautiful blue eyes. A brown coloring was spread over his cheek and his arm was in a black sling. “Baby, please don’t flip?” Tessa nodded numbly. “I got hit by a car.”
“WHAT!?”
“Tess, you said you wouldn’t flip…”
“Are you okay? We have to get you to the hospital!”
“Baby. Come here.” Elijah motioned for her to come over to him. “Come here, Tess.” Tessa walked over to Elijah and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his black shirt. “I’m fine, Baby. Promise. I’ve already been to the hospital and they patched me up and everything. I’m sorry I’m late.”

“I’m sorry I got mad, Lij. Are you sure you’re okay?” Tessa looked up at Elijah, who smiled down at her and kissed her softly on the lips. Tessa leaned into the kiss as she tightened her grip on his neck. “Lij…” Tessa whispered as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Elijah’s good hand wrapped around Tessa’s waist and pulled her closer to him until there was no air between their bodies. Elijah smiled into the kiss when he heard Tessa moan softly into his mouth. The smiled suddenly turned into a gasp as she turned his antics against him. Her fingers slipped under his black shirt to slide like silk against his sides and stomach. She skimmed her hands around his sides to move up his back.

“Tess… God, Tessa.” Elijah groaned into Tessa’s neck as he dropped feathery kisses along her collarbone. Tessa bent her head down and captured his lips in hers once more. 
Elijah felt like he was drowning in raspberries as Tessa kissed him. Her smell was almost as intoxicating as her nearness. His hand tightened on her hip unconsciously as her kisses left a wet trail down his neck. The cool air that met the damp skin sent shivers down his spine as Tessa ran her hands over his back. Elijah shuddered as Tessa gently bit down on his shoulder before resting small wet kisses on the tingling flesh.

Tessa was frantic to get Elijah undressed. She wanted, needed, to feel his skin against hers. Ditch the arrangements; they were late anyway. Tessa pulled her hands out from under Elijah’s shirt as Elijah murmured into her hair in protest of their absence. She smiled mischievously up at him and kissed him, lips parted in persuasive invitation.
But the kiss was a distraction, as she deftly started unbuttoning Elijah’s shirt.

“Tess. Tess. Baby, stop.” Elijah reluctantly pulled apart from her even as he caught his breath, murmuring a regretful protest as she follow, arms warm around his neck. “Tessa now isn’t the time. I can’t –”
“Shhh.” She silenced him with a kiss. “Please. Let me… Let me love you… just this once, this one time. Please.” Nimble fingers continued to unbutton the black buttons as Tessa kissed Elijah’s lips repeatedly. When all of the buttons were undone, Tessa slid a small hand over his heart, feeling the strong, reassuring beats keeping pace with her own. “Please…”

Closing his eyes as her breasts brushed against his chest with every breath she took, Elijah nuzzled his nose into her soft brown hair, breathing in the scent of her shampoo. “Sweetheart, this is going to be difficult…” Tessa chuckled as she placed open-mouthed kisses along his shoulder dragging the shirt over his shoulder and down his good arm.
“We’ll have to make do.” Tessa smiled as she kissed his jaw line then his cheek. Tessa gently reached around his neck to unclip the buckle of his sling. “Hold you’re arm up. Don’t let it drop.” She whispered in between soft kisses.

Elijah bit his bottom lip as Tessa slipped the sling from around his arm. Very carefully, she slid the shirt down his arm, removing it completely. Before replacing the sling, Tessa laid a weightless kiss against the skin when the coloring seemed the darkest.

Tessa looked down at the floor as she leaned into Elijah. He wrapped his arm around her waist and dropped his forehead to rest against her head, slipping the occasional kiss into her hair.
And so they stood for long moments, until Elijah felt Tessa shaking against him.

“Tessa? Baby, what’s wrong?” Elijah asked worriedly as he tried to get Tessa to look up at it, but her fascination with the wood floor grew with every word he said. “Tess? Tessa, look at me.” He removed his hand from her hip to clasp her chin and force her to look at him. He wasn’t prepared for the tears rolling down her cheeks.

When Tessa looked into Elijah’s eyes, she knew she’d loose all control over her tears. She threw her arms around his neck as she burst out sobbing. She hid her face in his shoulder as she cried.
Elijah ran his hand soothingly over her back, murmuring nonsensical reassurances in her ear, having no idea why she was crying or what had upset her. Slowly the sobbing subsided and reduced to the occasional hiccup, until Tessa was just sniffing back the last of the tears. “It’s alright, Sweetheart. Shhh…”

Tessa looked up at Elijah and brushed a bit of dark hair out of his eyes. His hair had grown longer since she’d last seen him. She liked it better this way. His blue eyes were soft as they looked at her, and she remembered thinking, when she first met him, that they were angel’s eyes. “I could have lost you today,” she whispered, still reluctant to loosen her hold on him. “I was so mad at you and you were hit by a car. Lij, I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you. I love you.”

Elijah felt his heart clench when she said those words. This was the first time she’d ever said the ‘L’ word. Hoping his ears weren’t deceiving him, he smiled happily down at Tessa. “But you didn’t lose me, Baby. I’m right here. I always will be. I couldn’t leave you. I love you. So much.”
Tessa sniffed one last time before she graced him with a soft smile. “Are you sure you’re alright, Lijah?”
“Yes, I’m fine. You know me. I can fall down three flights of stairs and get up like nothing’s happened.”
Tessa laughed at that. “Yes I know. I’ve seen you do it!”
“See? Proof.” Elijah looked down at her smiling eyes that held only traces of the tears that had consumed her minutes ago. Her lips were parted slightly, a silent plea. Leaning forward, their lips met and Tessa sighed happily as Elijah’s hand tangled in her hair.

The heat between them was building until Tessa started to reach back for the zipper to her dress. She was about to pull the zipper down, but Elijah’s hand stopped her.
“Think for a second, Tess. Where are we?” Elijah’s eyes were sparkling down on her merrily.
“My apartment. Lij, let me –”
“Which room?”
“The living room.” Tessa sighed.
“And what do you always say the living room’s best feature is?”
“The floor to ceiling wind–” the realization on Tessa’s face was classic and Elijah couldn’t help but laugh. “–ows…” The blush that covered her face burned as she contemplated what she had almost done.

Elijah kissed her forehead before continuing, “So unless you want to give all of New York City a little show, we should probably go into a different room.”
“So logical. Logic’s no fun.” Tessa teased, silently glad he’d stopped her. She grabbed his hand and hurried him into her bedroom, slamming the door behind me, shutting of the ringing of Elijah’s laughter to the outside world.

Inside, the room Tessa leaned back against the door as Elijah laughed. “What’s so funny!?” Tessa asked indignantly.
“Nothing, Baby.” Elijah tried to stop laughed, but to no avail. Tessa glared at him, wondering how he could possibly not feel the same hunger inside himself that she felt inside her.
“Elijah…” she sighed shaking her head.
“What?” he laughed.
“You never did know when to keep you’re mouth shut.” Before Elijah could answer, Tessa was on him. Pushing him ever so slowly towards the queen sized bed. “Let me show you how.” Tessa captured his lips with hers and gently pushed him down on the bed. With Tessa leaning over on top of him, Elijah groaned, needing her more after feeling her body press so close to his own.

Tessa reached down for the zipper on his pants but her mind was distracted as Elijah tangled one hand in her hair and pulled her head back down for another searing kiss. Tessa’s hands fell silent as the wonderful feeling of his soft lips crushed against her own melted her mind and body against him. Elijah broke the kiss to breath and Tessa all but attacked his zipper as the heightened need exploded within her.

“Lij!” Tessa moaned into the general vicinity of his chest as Elijah bit down gently on the soft skin of her neck before gently licking away the hurt. Though she loved the way Elijah was making her feel, her temper roared when he seemingly wasn’t going to allow her to have her way with him.

Almost roughly, Tessa pushed him off of her and rolled over, pinning him. She kissed him hard and reached a hand down and unzipped his pants. She broke the kiss to pull his pants and boxers off all the way. She stood up and unzipped her dress, letting the black silk fall off her body to the ground. She kicked off her shoes and stood in front of him covered only by a lacy black bra and black thong. Elijah marveled at her flat stomach and toned legs as he stood and went over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, kissing her eyes before kissing her mouth hard, tangling his tongue with her.
Elijah moved his hands up her back and around to her ample breasts, squeezing them between his fingers, each hand filled. Tessa moaned into his mouth and moved to grind her hips against his, feeling his hard dick press against her stomach. Elijah shuddered and picked Tessa up with one arm, throwing her over his shoulder, and carried her to the bed before dropping her down and climbing on top of her. He kneeled over her as he pulled her thong down with his pinkie, enjoying the site of the damp pussy.

He quickly unclasped her bra and tossed it to the floor. Supporting himself on one elbow, Elijah leaned down and took one of her nipples into his mouth, sucking gently. Tessa’s mouth opened in a silent scream and her hands threaded through his hair, holding his closer. Elijah smiled and took her nipple between his teeth and teased her for a moment before moving to the other nipple and giving it the same treatment. He kissed his way down her stomach until he came to the neatly trimmed triangle of hair that almost hid her treasure from his eyes.

Moving down farther he slipped one finger deep inside her, grinning mischievously when she gasped for breath. She was already close - the damp, inflamed folds confirm that. He slid in a second finger, feeling her walls stretch around his fingers. Tessa whimpered softly and she pushed against his fingers. Elijah kissed her stomach as he inserted a third finger, moving the fingers back and forth within her clenching pussy.

She cried out his name as she started to cum around his fingers, her body shuddering. He took advantage of her bliss and moved up over him and replaced his fingers with his throbbing dick. His eyes closed in ecstasy as he slid into her clenching pussy, her juices coating him. He leaned down and kissed her withering form as she started to come back to earth. Just as she got over the last shocks of her orgasm, Elijah started moving within her, sliding himself out slowly until his head was the only bit left inside her and then pushing back inside her just as slowly. He kept this up, sliding in and out of her at an agonizingly slow pace, until he couldn’t take it anymore and pushed inside of her roughly, his entire length filling her. He closed his eyes again and pulled out and pushed in hard, rocking the bed underneath them. Tessa screamed in orgasm and wrapped her legs around his waist, grinding up against him. She kissed him hard and her pussy walls clenched around his dick until he couldn’t take it anymore. He cried out as he shot his hot cum into her waiting pussy. Just as he finished, she fell back onto the bed, gasping for breath. He rolled off her, smiling at the link of white cum that connected the tip of his dick and her pussy until it broke. Elijah rolled onto his back and gathered her up in his good arm and cuddled up against his side.

“I love you, baby girl.” He kissed her softly as she whispered back to him, “I love you too, Lij.”
