The Variations by Jones M (christmas read aloud txt) 📖

a waiter greeted, interrupting the moment. "What can I get for you and the young lady?"

Marie noticed the server stealing glances at her, and for a moment, she had no idea of how to reply to that.

"Could we get a menu first? Oh, and your finest bottle of wine," Chris ordered. The waiter faced him.

"Certainly, Sir," the server nodded before moving along.

"I did not like the way that guy was looking at you," Chris commented.

"Now do you believe me when I say we should have stayed at your place?" Marie pointed out with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Chris said nonchalantly, causing Kate to chuckle.

The time they spent at the restaurant flowed by at a medium pace. After the waiter had returned with the red wine and menu, Chris and Kate proceeded to order some of the grandest dishes cooked in the establishment. A couple of appetizers were sent their way as their orders were being prepared, and close to an hour later, Chris and Kate were eating their meals.

The two talked as they ate, and some moments later, they left the establishment.

"I had a fun time," Kate told Chris, watching the view that the windshield provided as they drove back to his place.

"I hope you don't think that was the end of our evening," Chris stated, eyes on the road.

"Really?" Marie wondered. "What other plans do you have for us, boyfriend?"

Chris chuckled, not saying a word after that.

"Chris?" Kate called out, but he did not say anything. She called out again, and that was when she caught him smiling.

"Please tell me it's not a surprise," she stated. He didn't reply, still smiling.

That was all she needed to confirm that it was indeed a surprise. Kate sighed, knowing she wouldn't get a word out if she prodded for details.

It took a couple of minutes for them to return to his place. Chris had parked and switched off the engine of his car, and they were on their way into the house.

Kate stayed silent, but then she gasped when they made it into the dining room.

Somehow, flower petals had decorated the floor, leading up to the staircase. A couple of scented candles had also been lighted around the room, and they filled the area with a pleasant aroma.

"How did you do all this?" Kate wondered, still in awe of what she was seeing. She soon felt Chris' arms wrap around her from behind. His chin was soon pressing onto the area near her neck as he rubbed his warm cheek on hers.

"I had help from Alex," he replied.

"Alex?" she stated in disbelief.

"Oh, don't worry about it," Chris said. "I came up with the idea. He just had to prepare the room for us."

"How... weird," Kate stated, and her boyfriend chuckled. "Still, I'm happy with the surprise."

Chris ended the hug, walking forward so that he could grab her hand.

"Chris?"

"Let's go to my room," he said, tugging her hand in his to lead them to the stairs. Soon, they started their slow ascent to the hallway.

Kate's heart thudded in her chest, seeming to know what her boyfriend had planned for the evening. If it wasn't the scented candles and the flower petals all over the area, it was the sight that was in Chris' room that confirmed what they would do.

Candles met her vision, and she was surprised to see the flower petals on the bed.

"Chris..." Kate trailed off in amazement.

Yes, it was a cliché sight that had met her eyes, but she did not mind it. In fact, experiencing it seemed to make her feelings for Chris grow even further.

"Do you like it?" he asked her, seemingly unsure. Kate turned to face him, seeing tears block her vision for a moment. "Is it too much? Is it too..."

"Common?" she filled out for him. "Yes. But I don't mind it."

Chris smiled at her.

"Look, Kate. I think you know what I want to ask you. But you should know that we don't have to do it tonight. I don't want to push you. We could just continue our date here. It's practically why I had the flowers and the chocolate--"

Kate cut him off with her lips. Chris stood still for a moment, but then he started kissing her back.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked on her lips when they paused the kiss. Kate's heart thudded behind her chest as she looked up at him. She could see how much he cared for her, and it erased all doubts about her decision.

"Yes," she replied, moving to continue the kiss. Chris groaned at the contact, wanting to remove their clothes.

"Wait, Chris," she said, panting.

"What?" he asked, concerned. "Are you having second thoughts?"

"No," she replied with a chuckle. "I want to get changed out of this first."

"Does it really matter?" he asked with a grin.

"My makeup will get in the way," she added. Chris' expression suddenly turned to one of understanding.

"Oh, yeah. You're right. Okay," he agreed.

Kate nodded, and she moved to do what she had said.

 

Chapter 47

Kate had taken about fifteen minutes in the bathroom. She had also changed into a pair of shirt and shorts that she had brought from her dorm. Her heart had been thudding all the while as her thoughts ran in her mind about what was about to happen.

To be honest, the whole changing clothes thing was sprung up out of nervousness. 

'Chris wants to have sex with me,' that was the recurring thought in her head. She had been ecstatic at first, but minutes later, his words seemed to fully dawn on her. It was as if she had not heard him when he said them.

And she was freaking out.

'Am I ready for this?' she wondered. In the past weeks, she had felt sure of herself, especially after what Chris had done to her as a reward for the blowjob she had given him. He brought out feelings in her and reactions that she did not know she had in herself. He made her admit that she wanted his cock during the times he made her come. Realizing she was really about to have sex with him was a whole other deal that slightly frightened her.

Marie forced the thoughts away as she breathed deeply before returning into Chris' room. He was present, and he had changed into loose shorts and shirt. She met his eyes, and she found him looking at her with a heated expression.

"It was either this or being naked," he exposed, causing her to blush as she gave him a small smile. "I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable."

"Chris..." she trailed off, uncertain of what to say. He began walking towards her.

He gave her a kiss on her forehead before asking "Are you really sure?"

Kate bit her lower lip as nerves ran through her form.

"It will still be okay. We don't have to do this tonight. We can do it another night. You know, when you are sure you are ready. We could just have another movie night--"

'No,' she thought.

Marie cut her boyfriend off by pressing her lips against his. He stood still for a moment, but then he started kissing her back.

A few seconds later, Chris detached his lips from Kate's as he looked at her.

"I'm sure," she replied with a small smile. Chris stood still for a moment, his eyes searching for something in hers. In a moment, he descended his lips back to her once again as he resumed the kiss. He wrapped his arms around her torso as he did so, bringing her flush against him.

Just as always, Kate felt shocks of pleasure running through her form at the passionate kiss. The feel of his mouth coupled with the heat coming from his body served as a good distraction from her thoughts.

After a while, he paused the kiss as started backing them to the bed. Slowly, he laid her on the mattress. Kate moved to be close to the headrest, and Chris soon followed, crawling so that he was on top of her.

Kate looked up at him, seeing the emotions swirling in his eyes. She released a nervous breath, and then he resumed kissing her.

His hands pressed onto the bed to support his own weight as his lips moved against hers. Kate wrapped her arms around his form, holding him close to her. Her fingers clutched around the material of his shirt as they continued kissing.

They stayed like that for a few minutes, not moving at a fast pace as they held onto one another. It made Kate experience the kiss on a whole other level, letting her feel all the intense emotions Chris evoked in her.

Soon, the kiss turned rough when his tongue probed the opening of her lips. She gasped at the hastened pace as Chris groaned. Tongues stroked against each other as lips furiously rubbed, causing moans to sound in the room. 

Chris' lips descended downward, attacking a hickey he had formed in the morning on Kate's neck. She moaned as she clutched onto his back for support. The muscles shifted under her fingers, causing a tingling sensation to spread through her form.

Chris renewed the hickey, lapping at it with his tongue before kissing it and tugging at the skin with his teeth. Kate bucked at the sensations he caused, mewling as the motions were repeated. It went on for a while, and she was left delirious with all the pleasure he was giving her. Soon, the attack on the hickey ended.

Chris stood above Kate on his knees, panting as he stared at her. She looked back at him, her body feeling heated from all they had done so far. Then her breath hitched when she saw him reach for the hem of his shirt. He pulled it off and she swallowed, once again entranced with the sight of her shirtless boyfriend. 

She was observing his defined pecks when his hands reached for her shirt. He quickly tugged it off of her. Kate had not worn a bra to bed, and the sight of her naked chest caused Chris' erection to throb in his shorts. 

Marie was soon distracted when she felt lips on hers, resuming the passionate kiss between them. Chris moved to sit on the bed, wrapping his arms around Kate and bringing her flush against his chest. She moaned into the kiss when she felt her nipples pebble as they brushed against his chest.

His lips left hers, moving to kiss down the column of her neck. The feel of his kisses on her neck brought goosebumps on Kate's skin, causing her to shudder with each breath. It soon turned to a gasp when she felt his mouth descend to the top of her breast. Her pebbled nipple seemed to harden further as it was caressed by the heated air between them.

Chris moved his lips to the skin of the breast, licking and sucking at it. Kate shuddered with an inaudible moan. Chris' eyes moved up, and he felt pleased with the aroused expression on her face. He moved to kiss the underside of her breast, and in his vision, he observed the pebbled nipple.

"Chris..." Kate whimpered, and he knew what she wanted. He ignored her, still kissing her breast. A short while later, he stopped to observe it.

Kate thought he was going to suck her nipple at that point, but then he turned to her other breast. She whimpered again, especially when she felt
