My Heart Says Yes (19 page)

A loud moan escaped my
lips as I undulated my hips, raising them up and then pulling him deeper inside
me.  I arched my body, and he looped his arm under my knee sinking deeper into
me.  I grabbed onto his muscular, taut arms as he hammered me into the
mattress.  I drew my free leg up and hooked it around him and reached up with
one hand and grabbed the rails of my headboard for support as I took the glorious
pounding.  Our hips fell into a perfect rhythm as he continued to thrust into
me, then he reached down between us and pressed his fingers against my
sensitive bud and I wasn’t expecting that.  The intense pounding, coupled with
the stroking of my swollen bud, overwhelmed me and I cried out as my body
shuddered, thrashing around as waves of pleasure washed over me for the second
time. 

As I rode out the final
waves of ecstasy I looked at Caleb and wanted to take control this time, so I
held his gaze and saw the fire in his eyes and I grabbed his arms and turned
him over onto the bed and quickly straddled him.  He was still rock hard, as I
lowered myself onto him and bent down and covered his mouth with mine.  His
strong hands came up and firmly held my head as his mouth ravaged mine as he
thrust up into me.  I rode him hard as his hands grabbed my breasts, tweaking
my nipples and then ran down over my back down to my round globes, pushing my
hips deeper into him.  I threw my head back, moaning uncontrollably as he began
hammering up into me like a jackhammer.  He rolled me over onto my back,
grabbed my hair and grazed my neck with his teeth as he pounded me into the
mattress.  I felt his body tense up and a guttural grunt escaped his lips as
his body shuddered and he released inside of me.

Caleb collapsed onto the
bed next to me.  “Oh, Emma!  You are going to kill me!  That was incredible!” 
He was panting for air as the words came.

I giggled at him, as he
could barely catch his breath and it felt really good to know that I was doing
that to him.

He rolled over to me and
kissed me and then looked into my eyes.  “I love your curves, you are so damned
sexy.”

I could feel that my
cheeks were warm and the butterflies fluttered away in my belly.  He could just
give me a certain look and the butterflies would go crazy.  He had such an
effect on me, like no one ever had, and I was crazy about him.

“I think you are super
sexy also Mr. Morgan, and I’m glad you like what you see.”

His hand gently cupped
my face as his eyes searched mine.  “I
love
what I see Emma.  I love
you.”

I smiled at him.  “I
love you too.”

“Emma!  Are you home?” 
Kelly’s voice rang out and Caleb looked at me with raised eyebrows.

“Is she going to walk in
here?”

I could see that he was
bit nervous, and rightfully so, we were both completely naked.

“No, don’t worry, she
always knocks.”

Just then we heard her
knocking at my door.  “Em, are you in there?”  

      
“Yeah, we’re
in here.  Caleb is with me.”  I didn’t want her to just walk in on us so I had
to let her know I wasn’t alone, and I am sure she was shocked.

       Kelly hesitated and I heard, “
Oh!
 
Well, I just wanted to let you know that I was home.”

       “Okay!”

       Caleb looked at me.  “We should
probably get dressed and go out there, don’t you think?”

       “Yeah, probably, it’s getting kind
of late, did you want to stay for dinner?”

       “I would baby, but I have school
work to do for tomorrow. Can I take a rain check?”

       I smiled at him even though I felt
disappointed, because I would have loved to have spent even more time with
him.  “Sure, I understand.  I have a bunch of work to do also and I’m sure if
you were here I wouldn’t want to do anything.”

       We got dressed and made ourselves
presentable and talked to Kelly for a few minutes, and then I walked Caleb to
the door.  I felt a little bit nervous saying goodbye to him because the last
time we said goodbye he didn’t call me for weeks.  I think he could tell what I
was thinking because he stood in the doorway, his eyes searching mine, and
lightly placed his hand on my cheek and kissed me.

       “I will call you tonight before I go
to bed, I promise.”

       I had to trust him, I didn’t have a
choice. “Okay.”

       “I love you, Emma.”

       That made my stomach do flips and a
big smile spread across my face. “I love you too.”

       As soon as I closed the door, Kelly
was right beside me.

       “Oh my gosh Emma, tell me everything! 
The last thing I knew, you were flirting with Trevor at Rena’s party. How did
this happen with Caleb?”

       “He tried to talk to me at the party
last night but I pretty much blew him off because he deserved it. I was hanging
out with Trevor a little bit and realized that I don’t really like him, and I
didn’t want to string him along so I told him we should just be friends.  Caleb
left the party after I blew him off and then he showed up in our lobby this
afternoon begging to talk to me. I went downstairs and we talked for a bit and
he sincerely apologized for everything and explained why he hadn’t called, and
I decided to forgive him. End of story.”

       “Um, I think you left out a huge
part, like the
reason
he hasn’t called for so long?”

       “Oh, that.”

       Kelly smirked at me. “Yeah,
oh
that
.”

       “Okay, okay, I will say that you
were right about that. It turns out that he is one of those people that deals
with stress in his own kind of way which involves not hanging out with anyone for
a while. So it was nothing personal about me in particular, he was just
overwhelmed with his feelings for me, and all the work that he has to do for
school. But he apologized and promised that he would not disappear on me like
that again.  So things are very good with us right now.”

       “Emma, I am so happy for you, and I
knew that everything would be alright because I can tell that that guy really
likes you.”

       “Actually Kel, he told me that he
loves me.” I couldn’t stop the grinning from spreading across my face, I was so
happy.

       “Oh my gosh, Emma! That is so
awesome, I am so happy for you! You told him you love him too, right?”

       I felt a little bit shy admitting
it, but that was silly, Kelly was my best friend! “Yes, I told him that I love
him also.”

       “Oh my gosh, you are in love! Like
real, serious,
super hot
kind of love. You totally deserve it!”

       “I have to say, it is pretty
awesome, and he is so hot!”

       We giggled like schoolgirls,
chatting and gossiping as we started to make dinner together.  She told me all
about her night with her boyfriend David and we talked about a day when the
four of us could all get together to go out. After dinner we both had a ton of
work to do for school so we studied for the rest of the night.  My phone rang
at about 9:45 and before I answered it, I could feel the butterflies fluttering
in my belly.

       “Hello?”

       His deep voice penetrated the phone
line.  “Hi beautiful.”

       “Hey there.  How was the rest of
your evening?”

      
“It’s not
quite over yet, I have something that I’m working on and I will probably be up
for another couple of hours.”

       “Oh, that sucks. I am beat and I
probably have another 20 minutes, tops, left in me before I crash.”

       “Well I don’t want to keep you up, I
just wanted to call you to tell you how sexy you are and what an amazing time I
had with you this afternoon, and how happy I am that you decided to give me a
second chance.”

       “I had an amazing time with you too,
Caleb.  It was so nice to be with you again, I missed you.”  I decided to let
him know exactly what I was feeling because there was no way that we could ever
get really close if I didn’t open up to him.  I didn’t want to have my guard up
around him and I felt really comfortable sharing my feelings with him.

       “I missed you too Emma, so much. I
want to apologize again, I was such an idiot.”

       “Baby, I have forgiven you so don’t
beat yourself up about it.”

       “Okay, okay, so when are we going to
see each other again?”

       “I am super busy this week, but I
can squeeze in dinner one night if you want.”

       “Sounds perfect, how does Wednesday
night sound?”

       “That works for me.”

       “Okay, how about I make dinner for
us?”

       “Oh wow, that would be awesome
because then we can spend some quality time together without any other distractions.
I’m really looking forward to it Caleb.”

       “Me too, love. Well, I better let
you get some rest and I am going to get back to work on this project. I will
give you a call before Wednesday to confirm times and everything, okay?”

       “Okay, sounds good.”

       “I love you, Emma.”

       “I love you too, Caleb. Don’t stay
up too late.”

       “I won’t,” he chuckled. “Good
night.”

       “Good night.”

       That night, it literally felt like I
fell asleep on cloud nine.

       I felt happier than I had ever felt
in a really long time that week at school. I was super focused and felt like a
completely new person all over again.  Marta told me she wanted some of
whatever was in my coffee because she had never see me in such a good mood.  We
had become much better friends since we had been working together on our
project and I really liked her.

       “Can’t a girl just be in a good mood
every now and then?”

       “Of course Emma, but you’re in like,
a super good mood. Oh wait a minute! It wouldn’t have anything to do with that
gorgeous Caleb Morgan, now would it?”

       I gave her a sly sideways grin as we
walked to our class together. “
Maybe
.”

       “So, you two worked things out?”

       “Yep, we’re all good.”

       This time she gave
me
a sly
grin. “Oh, I’ll bet he is!” Then she winked at me.

       I giggled at her.  “You’re bad!”

       Our class was over pretty quickly
and then we went to the library to work on one of our projects that was due at
the end of the week.  I couldn’t wait until the semester was over and I was
really looking forward to Thanksgiving break in a few of weeks, I needed some
time off.

       I was caught up on all of my
projects for school so I took the night off and vegged out in front of the TV
with Kelly. We had not done that in a really long time and it was a much
needed, fun break. 

       Tuesday was a really busy day at
school and, thankfully, it flew by fast. It was my bedtime before I knew it
and, at around 9:45, my phone rang.

       “Hi baby.”  He sounded tired. 

       “Hey, you sound exhausted, are you
okay?”

       “I’m beat, but looking forward to
seeing you tomorrow.  How are you?  How has your week been?”

       “It’s been good, busy, but good. 
Did you finish that thing you were working on the other night?”

       “Not yet, I’m hoping to have it done
in a few weeks.”

       “Oh wow, it must be a big project. 
Is it due at the end of the semester?”

       “It’s not for school, it’s a
personal project that I’m working on.”

       “Oh cool, maybe you’ll let me see it
when you’re done.”

       “Maybe.” I could hear the smile in
his voice.  “I was thinking I would pick you up around 6:00 tomorrow evening,
how does that sound?”

       “Sounds good, I’ll be ready.  I
can’t wait to see you.”

       “I feel the same way, love.  I’m
going to turn in because I am exhausted.  I will see you tomorrow at 6:00,
okay?”

       “Okay, sounds good, see you then.
Goodnight.”

       “Goodnight.”

       The next morning I woke up feeling
refreshed and so ready for 6:00 to come.  For the first time that I could
remember, I had a really hard time focusing in my classes that day, all I could
think about was Caleb.  In my digital design class, which I normally loved, I
barely heard two words the professor said because all I could think about was
Caleb’s hands all over my body.  I wanted to feel his lips on mine again, his
hands on my breasts again and his tongue
everywhere
again.  I was
completely lost in my reverie when I realized that all of a sudden everything
was really silent. I snapped out of it and focused to see the entire class
looking at me.

       “Miss Blakely, would you agree?”

       Would I agree?  I had no idea what
he was talking about, oh crap!  What should I say?
