Carlos

I was sick of hearing how it wasn’t going to work out. I wasn’t going to take that as an answer and I moved to kiss her again. She didn’t say no, so I wasn’t paying attention to the soft hands that pushed on my chest. Eve liked to resist because she felt like what we did was wrong, but I didn’t feel that way. Everything with her was right, that was all I knew.

When my mouth wasn’t going to cut it, I knew that she wanted to hear the words. Pulling away from her, I waited for her eyes to open and really look at me. “Let’s go from here and talk, where we can really talk because I have a feeling that they are listening to every word.”

She giggled and agreed, telling me that I was right. I didn’t see her family, but there was a feeling that they were close at hand.

“Fine, but not for too long. It is going to be dark soon.”

I didn’t know what that mattered, but I figured it was something with her family and the rules. I had never been around anyone quite like them before and after spending an hour with the two that had made Eve, I felt like I knew more about her then I had all of the time we had spent together.

Taking her hand, I pulled her outside and started to take her to my car. She shook her head and instead wanted to go for a walk. It was not something that I wasn’t too used to doing, certainly didn’t walk very far in the city if I didn’t have to, but I would have followed her anywhere.

“Where are we going?”

“Just somewhere quiet and private. There are no secrets in this town.”

I chuckled. “Nothing like the city. Nobody knows each other there. You can do as you please and no one will even bat an eye.”

“It is not like that here. I just don’t think you understand Carlos. What are you doing here?”

She was starting to sound like a broken record and I knew that my answers just hadn’t been sufficient for her apparently. I was giving her more than I had ever said before and of course, to Eve it wasn’t enough.

“I am here to marry you Eve. If that is the only way I can have you, I want to marry you and take you home with me. I miss you Eve and it took you leaving for me to realize that.”

It wasn’t how I had wanted this all to go. In my head it had gone so much differently, but it was out and by the widened eyes I knew that she had heard me.

“What?”

I shook my head and stopped her with a kiss. “Marry me Eve. That is what I am here for. I am not leaving until you are my wife and you come with me.”

Eve’s face was shocked and I kissed her again, taking advantage of the moment. We were only a block from her house and kissing in the middle of the street as cars went by. Suddenly it didn’t seem like Eve was that worried about what others thought and I liked that. She was mine and the sooner she realized it the better.

“So where is this place that you said we would get some privacy?”

Finally that got her looking at me again and she had the same grin on her face as she had when I had come upon her naked in bed. It was a look that I was never going to forget and I was surely never going to get sick of. It just made me want her more than I ever thought was possible.

***

The place was unlike anything that I had been to. I was raised in New York and there were no places to really be alone. There was always someone there and awake. It was always that way and to be in the middle of the woods, under an old bridge that had once had trains running over it, was unlike anything that I had ever seen before. It was beautiful and like her, so unexpectedly what I needed.

“So this is where you would take your other boyfriends?”

Eve shook her head. “I have never brought anyone here before. This was where I would go to think for a while, without being observed and silently judged. Half of the town goes to the same church, the one my father give sermons at once in a while. This was my place to think of where I was going to go when I could finally get out of here.”

“But you came back.”

She still hadn’t really given me an answer either. Her mind was elsewhere, that much was clear and I desperately wanted it to go back the way I had steered her.

“I did because I wasn’t doing as well as I would have liked to. I would have liked to have done things differently.”

“Come back and we can do it together. The apartment is still open or you can move in with me.” At this point, I was willing to take whatever I could get. If she wasn’t ready to marry me, we could play house for a time until she was ready. Every part of me told me that she was already mine, so if I had to wait, I knew that she was worth it.

“Is that what you want, really?”

“I want you to be my wife Eve. Beyond that, I want to take you back to the city and live together.”

She blushed again, but still there was no answer on her tongue. I wanted to know what it was that she wanted. Eve hadn’t said much about the proposal. I hadn’t thought of that right off the bat, hadn’t prepared really, but it was enough to get on her mother’s good side. Eve of course wasn’t as easily swayed.

“I don’t know what to say Carlos.”

“Don’t say anything. I think we do better when we let our bodies talk.”

She shivered underneath me as I pushed her back onto the grass under the older overpass and there was just something about the way she looked at me that made me melt right then and there.

I was in heaven and like before, her hips lifted up to meet mine. It was a moment of need that I wasn’t going to soon forget. She wanted me as badly as I wanted her and that was enough. What I wasn’t too sure of was how I was ever going to let her go if she didn’t say yes.

“God, I love you Eve. I have never loved anyone in my whole life but you and I don’t want to live without you anymore.”

Her only response was a small gasp, as I pulled her body away long enough to pull her skirt up and her panties down. I liked the new attire that she was wearing. It was far easier to get into and more important than anything she was ready for me as before. There was no denying how wet she was, glistening in the sunshine perfectly.

“I see you have missed me.”

Even nodded and wrapped her legs around me before I could get rid of my own clothes. She was impatient, as she had been last time and before I could stop her, Eve had me pulled down and was looking up at me as if I was the one. I wanted to be the one for her and I slide inside quickly, giving her what it was that she needed. The only thing that I heard over the pounding in my ears was the sound of her pleasure, coming out as I slid deeper.

“I love you too Carlos. I think I have loved you since I woke up in your bed.”

Kissing her, I silenced her words, rocking us both to the point of madness over and over again. I just couldn’t get enough of her and even when she pushed on my chest, begging for a break, I couldn’t stop. I pushed her as far past her limit as she had pushed me.

“Please Carlos, I can’t.”

“Yes you can Eve. You are going to do what I want.”
