An open flame, Shanice, C Ward [best books to read for success .txt] 📗

Toby opened the door and began showing me around his home, pulling me from one room to the next in an excited trance. The reception hall has oak flooring and a galleried landing which gave the area a complimentary homely touch. Toby also has the largest drawing room that I had ever seen and the dining room has tall stained glass windows- they must cost a fortune I thought absent mindedly. He walked off into a large room, without doors, it was a wide open space. He had a large billiard table in the centre. The floor was carpeted a plush cream colour, the walls were a patterned black and cream. A large shelving unit occupied the far wall, it consisted of trophies, medals and framed certificates from business projects, school activities and from when he was a young boy. I paused to admire them for only a heartbeat. Pictures were scattered around the room from article clippings, fundraiser events and family portraits. This was his room of achievement I thought. I loved this room already, it paints my Toby in a wonderful light and that was just a metaphor, as the room was well lit with an overhead chandelier and wall lights around the base of the walls were bright, illuminating the large space impressively. ‘Your house is magnificent’ I affirmed with awe in my voice, he smiled and shrugged his shoulders. ‘It used to be my granddads, he did all the interior work, the décor, he remodelled the whole house... well, except for the kitchen, I did that, come, I’ll show you’ taking my hand he led me out of the room and into the kitchen, white marble floor, with black marble walls enriched the grand space. The back wall between the countertop units and oven was decorated with a charcoal grey slate brick effect wallpaper. Despite the marble it worked perfectly. Black high gloss surfaces spilled out across the space, black glossy American style fridge freezer was the largest object in the room. A large breakfast bar stood central in the large space with 6 metallic black glossy situated around it. I was in awe of how modern the space was, a wine rack full with 17 bottles of wine neatly resting in their place. The space was beautifully modern and reflected him perfectly. Rich and beautiful. I was still stuffed from our meal at Toby Carvery, my friend Steph recommended it once so we headed there. Toby seemed to enjoy himself a great deal. I was glad he could mingle with ordinary people and still be carefree and happy. I don’t think his wealth will be too much of a barrier for us. For now at least. ‘Do you want some wine?’ he asked bringing his arms around my waist from behind, resting his chin on my shoulders, ‘No thankyou, Im stuffed from the meal, I don’t think I could stuff anything else in, wine or otherwise’ I stated matter of factly with a hint of humour in my tone. He chuckled darkly into my ear, swatted my behind and walked off in search of a glass for himself. I turned to face him, watching how he swiftly moved around the open space, his bare feet padding across the floor. He looked so comfortable in these elegant surroundings. As always he looked so mouth-watering. He’d left his tie, and jacket in the lounge and we had put our shoes by the door as we began our tour around his home. Just seeing him so carefree made him look that much sexier, a man in the kitchen, Mm. I wonder what it would be like to have sex on this breakfast bar I thought stroking the hard cold surface to get a better picture- ‘How long have you lived here?’ I asked interrupting my own thoughts. Looking up from the wine cabinet, ‘4 years’ he stated, retrieving a deep bellied glass from the cabinet, ‘Sure you don’t want anything?’ I nodded and he closed the cabinet door. Walking towards me I pictured him naked, walking towards me with the same look on his face. He stopped before me, and smiled, flashing his brilliant white teeth.  Dropping to his knees he reached between my legs and fished out a bottle of wine from behind me. My cheeks flushed red instantly. I was both turned on and embarrassed. Pouring himself a glass of red wine, I watched his muscled flex in his arm beneath his shirt with each movement. Licking my lips are came up beside him and planted a kiss on his arm. Looking up at him, I seen his eyes become glassy and watched his mouth part to make way for deeper inhalation of breath. I loved that I had an effect on him, because he had such an effect on me. He swallowed the contents of his glass in one large gulp never taking his eyes off me. Stalking towards me his eyes grew fiercer and his body appeared leaner, bolder and musclier. Grr, I wanted to devour him. He swooped me into his arms, dipping his head he crushed his lips to mine, filling it with his tongue. Invading my mouth exploring it deeply, tasting me, and savouring me. I submitted myself unto him, as I always did, he was so powerful and possessive I had no other option but to submit to him. I could feel my blood pumping throughout my body. I was struggling to breathe but I didn’t want to release from the kiss- biting his lip I sucked in /a large gasp of air, ‘Take. Me’ I demanded through pants of breath. A deep growl ascended through his chest in response to my words. The growl rippled through me, awakening my sex. I was so aroused. Squeezing my thighs together I craved his touch. With another growl he lifts me into his arms and im being carried up a long stair case.   I wake with a start, disorientated. Where am I? Toby’s bedroom, the landing land on, emitting light from beneath the door. Tobias is sprawled out beside me, his head back, his eyes screwed shut his face relaxed and peaceful. His left arm is draped over his forehead. The covers barely covering his groin but I could still make out the outline of his sex despite the blanket covering him from my sight. Kicking the covers from my legs I sit up and enjoy my brief moment watching him sleep next to me. Leaning over him, I wipe his wayward strands of hair from his face. As I do so, he stirs ever so slightly. H blinks, looks around and then focuses on my face. Smiling when his eyes found mine. ‘Charlotte’ he breathed, in a haste he grabbed my face with both hands with such speed that it momentarily startled me, pulling me down onto his chest, he began kissing me. His tongue invaded my mouth, he taste distinctively of desperation and need. He flipped me over by rolling over me, his lips locked on mine, crushing me into the bed, pinning me into a still position, locking me beneath him. Keeping me still, he parts my legs with his hands making room for his perfectly shaped his hips, his erection so thick, raw and long straining towards me. Toby gazed down at me for a split second, freeing the contact from our lips.. Grinning, he flexed his hips into me, His erection pushes into my soft flesh. Oh… I moan softly, I needed him, desperately. Sexual tension began building, flooding my system with desire. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I began grinding my pelvis against his in welcome.  ‘I need you,’ I whispered urgently, locking his gaze on my face, ‘me, too’ he pants, his voice low and rough. I want him. I want him, now. Tobias shifts his weight onto his elbow, staring down at me for a split second he suspended his body above mine, searching my body for permission. I nodded at him, eagerly with need. In a swift skilful movement Tobias buried himself in me. My mouth performed a perfect ‘O’ at the penetration, my back arching into him relishing his touch and feel. His lips found my nipples and he pushed into me, over and over, his tongue flickering relentlessly over my sensitive nipples. I met him thrust for thrust, welcoming him.  He continued his assault on my breast, whilst pumping inexorably into my sex. He showed no mercy, worshipping me with his sex and tongue. My body tenses and my legs begin to tremble. Oh my I cry out as the sensation building between my thighs continue to heighten. I can’t take it anymore. Gripping the sheets so hard that my knuckles were whit, throwing my head back I could no longer match his thrusts, the sensation was overwhelming. I explode around him, crying out his name as I did. ‘Charlotte,’ he growls almost incoherently, and he came powerfully, pouring himself into me, his face strained, his body went rigid before collapsing on top of me with his full weight. He eases out of me gently, holding me for minutes. Finally, he shifted next to me, I sucked in a deep suck of air in an attempt to steady my panting. Reluctantly, after I steadied my breath I shift to turn and face him. His face was so beautiful, I could hardly believe he was mine. He was sporting a smug smile like an adolescent boy. I rolled my eyes and planted a soft kiss on his forehead. Without uttering a word to one another we fell asleep facing one another smiling. It was perfect.           Imprint
