The Touch Series Box Set
Come on Chloe, pull your shit together. I take a deep breath in and let it all out. Reaching for the door knob and pulling the door open I put a big smile on my face.
My god there he is. This gorgeous man stands tall at 6’2 wearing dark jeans, a button down white dress shirt and looking absolutely perfect.
I’m in like stun mode and can’t move. I’m at a loss for words at the sight of him. A slight smile forms at his lips and his baby blue eyes sparkle with love.
“Chloe I’ve missed you so much.” He says.
Before I can utter a syllable he drops the bags in his hands and scoops me up in his arms. He walks me into my apartment and twirls me around in a circle while peppering kisses along my jaw and then smashing his mouth to mine. I’m truly swept away in the moment and absorbing the feel of my boyfriend. The warmth begins to spread all over my body and any doubt I ever had about us being apart is washed away. I love Derrick Peters and nothing will ever stop my feelings for him.
The sounds of a throat clearing and whistling pulls me back from my Derrick love coma and he slowly sets my feet back down onto the hard floors.
“Good god Chloe I hope you don’t expect that kind of greeting from me, at least not in front of Char.” Riley says.
“You better not even think about it Riley. The only body your arms get to hold is mine and the only lips you can touch are mine.” Char says swatting Riley across the back.
“You two really are too cute together, it’s kind of sickening.” I laugh.
“Oh my god Chloe like you should talk. For a moment there I felt like I was in a movie the way you two greeted one another. Talk about making me puke.” Char replies.
“Come on babe, why don’t we grab all the bags and our luggage while these two catch up.” Riley suggests to Char.
“Okay Riley, anything you say.” Char whispers and then kisses him on the lips.
“Derrick how about I show you to our room so you can make yourself more comfortable.” I say starring in his eyes.
“I think that sounds great Angel. Guys we’ll be back out in an hour.” He says with a laugh and smacking me on the ass.
I missed him more than I ever thought was possible. Everything about him makes me want to pack up and move back home to just be near him. But I can’t, that will never happen.
This is my first time coming out to visit Chloe in Los Angeles since she moved last summer. This is where her life is now and the place she has made her home. I’m happy to be spending the next two weeks with her. I want to know more about the things she does here and create memories that will last even after I’m back home in Boston.
“Are you doing okay Derrick?” Charlie asks.
“Yeah, why you ask?” I reply.
“I don’t know you just seem off. I mean I’m not a fan of flying either, but ever since we picked you up this morning you just seem quiet.”
“I’m okay, just been doing a lot of thinking I guess. Spending the next few weeks with Chloe is definitely needed. I miss her so much and can’t wait to be near her again.”
“Well Romeo anytime you need us to take a hike just give me the look. Riley and I can go be tourists while the happy couple gets acquainted again.”
“Thanks Charlie, I appreciate it.”
“Okay good, now snap out of the moody attitude and let’s play some cards.”
For the rest of our flight Charlie does a good job keeping my mind distracted with cards, a word find and even a little thumb wrestling challenge. I don’t know how Riley deals with living with this girl every day. She needs to constantly be doing something to keep herself entertained.
Once the plane lands we walk through the airport find our bags and get our rental car. Being that I’m off in daze Riley chooses to drive and Charlie calls co-pilot. During the half hour drive to Chloe’s place I watch as we pass everything that is now home to my girl. This is where she lives, works and will has been creating her future. How the hell will I ever be a part of this? I don’t know if it’s possible to live this far apart from the one person I love with all my heart knowing that our futures will never be within the same zip code.
Riley pulls the car into the parking garage and I sense them both getting out of the car. I need to get myself out of this funk and fast. I don’t want Chloe to know I’m having these thoughts, it could ruin our trip. No even worse, it could ruin everything we have worked so hard to accomplish.
I help Riley and Charlie grab our luggage and bags and head toward the building’s lobby. Charlie announces to the gentleman at the desk that we’re here to see Chloe Taylor and within a few moments we’re on our way up to her place.
A feeling of nervousness takes over and I can’t understand why I am anxious to see my girl. It’s been a few months since we’ve been together, but my heart knows we need some time together. That will help me figure out what our next step is moving toward the future.
I stand in front of her door and ring the door bell. I can hear her heels clicking on a tile floor and then the door swings open.
My whole world just stopped. There she stands. My beautiful girl is right here in front of me and all I can do is smile.
“My god Chloe I’ve missed you so much.” I tell her.
I can’t waste another second. I need to have her in my arms. Dropping everything in my arms I walk through the doorway and scoop her up in my arms. My lips immediately go to her neck and jaw. I leave a trail of kisses all over her smooth skin. Her smell has me intoxicated and I can feel the warmth of our bodies getting hotter and hotter the longer she is in my grasp. I put my mouth up to hers and kiss her like it’s the last time I’ll ever see her. God I can’t stand this distance between us. Her lips part and I take advantage of the moment by entering her mouth with my tongue. She doesn’t hesitate and kisses me back just as passionately.
Riley and Charlie are still standing in the doorway as I spin Chloe in circles continuing to embrace her with all that I have. I guess they get tired of the show, because they start clearing their throats and making whistling noises. Ending our moment I put Chloe’s feet back on the floor and allow Riley and Charlie the chance to say hello as well.
Being the jackass Riley is he offers to give Chloe a greeting like mine when Charlie isn’t around. Yeah right like hell he will. Still, my good friend offers to get things settled while Chloe shows me to our room. I sure as hell will not argue with getting her in a room alone so I swat her on the ass and follow her lead. Once in the bedroom I take a look around at my surroundings. Her room is decorated just like she started decorating our place back in Boston. It is beautiful yet simple at the same time. The walls are a light grey with blue curtains and darker grey and blue bedding on a queen size sleigh bed. She has a desk, dresser and night stand all in black that match the bed. She just stands there watching me take it all in. I walk over to the desk and see a few picture frames lined up all with photos of me, her and Char.
“I’m so glad you’re here.” She whispers in my ear while running her hands along my back.
“Me too Chloe, you have no idea how much I missed you.” I say turning so that our bodies are facing each other.
“Oh I think I do.” She says as she places her soft lips to mine.
I wrap my arms around her holding her in a tight embrace while kissing her more deeply. The feeling of our bodies touching and her mouth on mine has me on fire. There’s always a feeling of warmth when I’m around her, but in this moment I’m in flames.
“Damn it Chloe I want to undress you and keep you in this room for the rest of the day.” I groan through clenched teeth.
“Oh my God Derrick, if you keep doing that I don’t know if I’ll ever want to leave this room.” She says.
Ever so lightly I continue to rain kisses along her jaw, down her neck and grasping her tits through the fabric of her dress. I’m addicted to this beautiful angel and I’ve been starved for too long.
“Derrick?” She moans.
“Yes love.” I reply.
> “As much as I want to strip you of your clothes and take you in my mouth, we have two other people out there and a feast in the oven.”
“Fuck Chloe, did you have to say the first part?” I ask.
Pushing away from each other we stare at the lust filled in both our faces and then break into a fit of laughter.
“Okay I’ll make a deal with you. Let me take a quick shower and then I’ll meet you out there for dinner. We’ll spend some time with Charlie and Riley, maybe even exchange some presents, and then I get you all to myself.” I tell her.
“I love the way you think Derrick. Get cooled off and I’ll see you in the living room in a few minutes.”
With that she straightens out her dress, runs her fingers through her hair, and checks her make up in the mirror. She turns blowing me a kiss and then heads out of her bedroom.
Oh yes, that fine ass is all mine and no one is going to stop me from making love to Chloe all night long.
After the hot make out session with Derrick, I attempt to pull my hormones back together and head out to the kitchen. Char and Riley must still be in the guest room because it’s quiet out here. Making my way into the kitchen I open the oven door to check on dinner. Everything looks good to me and should be done within the next fifteen minutes. With just enough time I set the table and pour each of us a glass of white wine.
“You don’t have to give Riley any wine, he won’t drink it.” Char says coming into the dining room.
“Okay, good more for me.” I say picking up the glass and downing the few sips I had already poured.
Char laughs at me and shakes her head.
“So how does it feel to have him here?” She asks.
“It’s great. I miss him so much and having you all here for New Year’s is going to be amazing. There are so many things I have planned for us too.”
“I bet you do little miss planner.”
“Don’t make fun of me. Life is so much simpler when you live by a schedule.”
“Yeah okay Chloe. So what’s good for dinner?”
“I’m so nervous. I tried to make some of mom’s recipes so fingers are crossed it all tastes good.”
“Well if it tastes as good as it smells I think we’re all good.” Riley says walking into the kitchen.
“Thanks Riley. Now how about that appropriate greeting?” I say walking over to him and giving him a big hug.
“Watch it now Chloe, don’t be getting all hands here, Char is looking right this way.”
I smack the back of his head and finish pouring the wine.
“I’m ready to eat, it smells great Angel.” Derricks says coming into the dining room.
“Good, well since we’re all out here take a seat and I’ll bring the food out to the table.”
“I’ll help.” Char says following me into the kitchen.
Dinner turns out to be wonderful and everyone raves how good the food tastes. This is not only the first time I’ve used mom’s recipes, it’s the first time I’ve cooked for anyone like this at my apartment.
After we’re all finished eating and the dishes are cleaned we decide to exchange some gifts in the living room. Char and Derrick head back to the bedrooms to grab their gifts while Riley and I grab drinks for the four of us.
The night continues with wrapping paper flying through the air, the guys acting like idiots with their new Red Sox gear and Char and I just sit back and enjoy the company. This is really nice and I love that they are here with me. I’ve made some great friends here in LA, but nothing beats being with family.
I glance over at the clock and see that it’s almost midnight. Looking back toward the mounds of garbage I see that Derrick is watching me. Our eyes lock and he wiggles his eyebrows and shifts his head toward the bedroom. I blush and smile knowing exactly what it is he’s referring to with his silent gestures.
“Well I don’t know about you guys but I’m ready for bed. Is there anything you need before I shut down for the night?”
I stretch my arms above my head and show off a big yawn for emphasis. I don’t know why I’m even trying to act sleepy. Both Riley and Char are looking at me knowing very well what is about to happen anyway.
“Nope, I’m not tired at all.” Riley laughs.
“Stop Riley, let’s give them some alone time. I think we’re going to go for a ride and take a midnight stroll along the beach.” Char says.
“Yeah sure okay, let me get you my keys so that you can let yourselves back in when you come back.”
“Perfect thanks Chloe.” Char says.
I walk on over to my purse and dig out my keys. Char is standing right behind me and I look up to see her smiling.
“Oh stop Char, it grosses me out knowing that you know what is about to happen.”
“Seriously Chloe, I’m not a virgin. I know what sex is all about and if I lived on the opposite side of the country from Riley we’d have been naked by now.”
“Okay great didn’t need to know that or have the visual stuck in my head.”
The two of us walk back into the living room. Riley and Derrick seem to be in an intense conversation.
“Are we interrupting a moment here boys?” Char asks with a giggle.
“Who us? Nope, I was just telling my boy right here the importance of safe sex and to text me when they are done. Come on babe, let’s go make out in the car.”
“What the hell Riley? Who the hell invited this guy?” I ask with a laugh. “Get out of my apartment you sex freak.” I tell them leading both Char and Riley to the door.
I turn around still amused by what Riley just said and I catch site of Derrick watching me. His stare is intense and there’s no expression on his face. He begins to walk over to me putting both hands on either side of my body against the door. My senses go into over load with the closeness to him. His breath is heavy on my neck and I can smell his cologne, the one that he very well knows makes me crazy.
“That was nice of them to leave us alone for a bit. I mean I’m not quite sure why they would have left you did say you were tired. I think I even saw a stretch and yawn a few minutes ago. You must be really exhausted. I think I should help you get into bed.”
His eyes are fixed on mine and he’s so close to me that if I moved just a little bit my lips would touch his.
“Well I do appreciate your generosity Derrick. I’m feeling kind of lazy. Would you mind helping me get out of this dress?”
“Of course, I would love to help you Chloe.”
And then my world collides with Derrick. The bottom hem of my dress is now at my hips and he’s lifting me so that my legs are around his waist. My arms are wrapped around his neck and his mouth is on mine. I have no clue how he’s maneuvering, but somehow he’s walking us to my room. I’m in a trance by his kiss but at the same time I have my eyes open in fear that my back is going to hit a wall. I trust Derrick with my life; however never before has he carried me while walking with his eyes closed in an apartment he just saw today.
Thankfully his skills are better than I gave him credit for and we’re in my room. I’ve missed him so much and now we’re alone. I want to be with Derrick, I need to be with Derrick.
Tonight has been great. Chloe’s cooking skills amazed me yet again and she prepared a wonderful dinner for us. It really felt like Christmas day with my family. Even though everything was perfect there was just one other place I wanted to be…alone with Chloe in her room. All night I imagined being with her and now that dinner is over I need to bust a move and get to the presents part of the night. The quicker I can get this out of the way, the sooner I can get Chloe naked and in her bed.
The present portion of the night is taking a lot longer than I anticipated and fucking Riley is being a complete child. He continues to play with all my Red Sox gear from Chloe and if he doesn’t knock it the hell off I’m going to punch him in the head. He knows I’m tied up over Chloe and the fact that I still have yet to touch her has me going nuts.
Then out of the blue I
see Chloe looking toward the clock on her wall. I give her a suggestive look once her eyes meet mine and my girl is off and running. She mentions to Char and Riley that she is tired from the day and even throws out a stretch and yawn for good measure, that’s my girl.
After an awkward moment, courtesy of Riley, he and Charlie are out the door to give us some alone time. Thank you Jesus.
Chloe and I are alone, fucking really alone. I stare at her as she closes the door and all I can think about is running my tongue all over her body. She has the sweetest taste in the world and the damn dress is hiding her gorgeous body that is calling my name. I walk closer to her and place a hand on either side of her head against the door. This is our moment and I’m taking in all of her for myself. With a little fun banter I chose to end this fiasco and get her into her bed. Picking her up I walk us back to the bedroom and kick the door shut with my foot. With my obvious ninja coordination I made it back here eyes closed with no injuries.
I lye her down on her bed and hover over her body. Spreading my legs on either side of her hips I use my arms to keep my weight off of her. I trail kisses from the tip of her nose to her chin down along the sides of her jaw and place little licks on both sides of her neck. She squirms under me and let’s out slight moans to let me know what I’m doing to her is driving her mad. There’s no way I plan to take tonight fast with her. It has been way to long that we have been together like this.
I lean back on my feet and pull her into a sitting position. Grabbing the hem of her dress I guide it along her body and over her head. She sits there completely naked, good god this woman is going to kill me.
“Not only are you absolutely beautiful Chloe, but you’re driving me nuts. Had I known you were wearing nothing under this dress I never would have let you escape from me earlier.”
Chloe lets out a giggle and climbs herself into my lap.
“Derrick I have missed you so much and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how hard it’s for us to be apart so much.”
