Blueprint for Romance

Damon “f**k,” I murmured as I slowly slid all the way home. Vanessa wrapped her legs around me as she gripped my arms tightly. “So hot, so tight,” I said as I pulled back before I thrust back in. Vanessa moaned as she closed her eyes. I managed to smirk as I picked up the pace. Her heat and tightness felt incredible around my hard length, and I couldn’t help but curse the condom. “Harder,” Vanessa begged as she opened her eyes and stared up at me. I thrust forward harder as I leaned in and captured her lips in a messy kiss. I could feel that my impending orgasm was fast approaching, so I leaned back and reached down between us until I could press my thumb against her clit. Vanessa cried out as she arched her back and her hands moved to squeeze and caress her breasts. I watched with a lustful gaze as I drove into her over and over again. When I felt the telltale sign of her approaching orgasm, I rubbed against her clit faster. Vanessa let out a satisfied scream of pleasure as she reached her peak. I kept up the pace and the tightness around my c**k was all I needed to push me over the edge. I came with a loud cry of my own as I enjoyed the pleasure that rushed through me. Vanessa smiled softly and as I slowed my moments, I leaned in and kissed her again. I reached between us and gripped the snug condom as I carefully pulled it out. “f**k,” I said as I climbed off her and the bed. I went into the adjacent bathroom and removed the condom, which I threw in the bin before I grabbed a washcloth and cleaned myself up. I rinsed out the cloth with warm water before I headed back to the bedroom. Vanessa lay on the bed, legs still spread with a satisfied smile on her lips, eyes closed. I gently cleaned up between her legs before I threw the cloth in the basket across the room. As soon as I lay down next to her, she immediately turned to me and snuggled against my side. I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her temple. “I needed that,” she remarked, and I chuckled. I couldn’t have agreed more. Our schedules had been a bit rough the past few weeks and finding time to f**k had been difficult. One of our agreements was that we would never do a ‘wham, bam, thank you, mam’ and that we would always give each other all we had in the moment. I glanced over at the alarm clock on my bedside table and sighed loudly. “I have to go,” I told her as I stretched out lazily. There was no way I would leave her if she wanted more snuggle time, but as soon as the words were out of my mouth, Vanessa rolled away and got up. “Ok,” she said as she headed to the bathroom. I took a moment to appreciate the view until she shut the door. I grabbed my phone off the side table and sent Hank a quick message. Damon: Running a bit late. Will be there as soon as I can. It was Friday, but this weekend was my weekend off, which meant I had a lot to do. However, it also meant I was free. I got out of bed and joined Vanessa in the bathroom. She was in the shower, and we had long ago agreed not to shower together, so I took a piss and brushed my teeth. “Are you working tonight?” I asked her when she shut off the water and pushed back the glass shower door. “No,” she said, and I nodded. Vanessa and I were friends first, and we hadn’t hung out in a while. “Do you want to come over for dinner? Maybe stay the weekend?” I questioned as I moved past her to get into the shower. “Sure,” she agreed. I nodded at that and since I knew that she would be out the door as quickly as possible, I gave her a quick kiss before I shut the glass door and turned on the water. “I’ll be here after six,” “Ok, cool. I’ll text you later,” I said as I soaped up my sponge. “See you later,” I heard her say before the door opened and closed. I wasn’t about to take my time, so I hurriedly washed my body and hair. As I got out, I heard the front door open and close. I didn’t think Vanessa had been that fast but as I returned to the room, I realized that she was gone. Slightly disappointed, even though I had figured as much. I dried off and got dressed as quickly as I could. I made sure my apartment was locked up before I went over to Molly’s apartment and let myself in. Molly was in the kitchen, eating a slice of toast. “Morning, sunshine,” I greeted her with a smile. “Don’t you think it’s a bit early for a round in bed?” Molly asked as she eyed me, and I chuckled. Unfortunately, Vanessa and I weren’t silent lovers, and my bedroom was right next door to Molly’s. “Only time we had,” I answered as I poured myself a cup of coffee and put two slices of bread in the toaster. “I call bullshit, but whatever…” “What? She let herself in this morning,” I argued, but Molly merely shook her head at me. “Whatever,” “I don’t know why you two don’t just take this relationship to the next level. Friends with benefits isn’t going to last very long. What if she meets someone else? Or you do?” she asked, and I took a sip of my coffee as I stared at my best friend. “Ugh, you are so annoying,” “We have rules,” I told her, and Molly rolled her eyes. “I know all about your stupid rules,”
