Apolo groaned into her mouth as she brushed her hand over his groin. He quickly pulled away, only to lead a trail of moist, sticky kisses down her heaving chest until reaching her stomach. He stopped and looked up at her, struggling against the tangled comforter, trying her desperate best to decode the array of signals surging from the nerves in her toes to the jugular in her neck. Apolo grinned, his teeth shining pure white off the reflecting moonlight. His hands glided under her shirt as his fingers traced the smooth curves of her breasts.
�Apolo, stop,� she murmured.
Apolo ignored her plea and pulled her damp shirt farther up, exposing her silky bra.
�Apolo, STOP!� she shouted, sitting up on the bed.
�What?� he sighed, stopping to wipe the sweat off his brow.
�You promised, remember?�
�Yeah, unfortunately,� he muttered under his breath.
�And what is that suppose to mean?�
�Nothing,� he replied. �No, wait, I take that back. You know, I don�t get you, Sarah. You tell me that you want to be a virgin, and how important your values are to you. That�s fine, I can deal with that, but I can�t deal when you go rubbing my dick with your hand, then get pissed that I touch your boobs. Whatever hot-cold game you�re playing, you better just fucking knock it off.� He could feel the surge of hot blood coursing through his veins, and damnit, it felt good to finally get those heavy words off his chest.
�How dare you use that kind of foul language with me! This is the first time I�ve seen you in three weeks, we have a wonderful evening and dinner together, and then you accuse me of enticing you? I don�t deserve to be treated this way, Apolo. You were so sweet and caring when I first met you, but now, all you seem to care about is getting into my panties. Who�s the hypocrite now?�
Apolo ran his hands through his thick locks of hair in exasperation. He intently stared at Sarah as she fixed her shirt. They had met about five months ago in Colorado. She had come to the training center as a figure skater, but had failed to make the cut for the Olympic team. Nonetheless, Apolo was extremely attracted to Sarah from the moment he laid eyes on her. Petite with long, shimmering black hair and sparkling hazel eyes, Sarah was the girl every short track member would�ve killed to bang. And Apolo had won her over.
�Why do you have to be such a tease?�
Sarah glared at him. �What?�
�You heard me. Sarah, I like you a whole lot, but��
�But what? The least you could do is respect my decision to wait for marriage.�
�What are you talking about? I do respect your decision! When you first told me how much your virginity meant to you, I thought you were cool because of it. But you know what pisses me off? You act like it�s all my fault, and that you�re just little miss innocent, while there I am, some horrible rapist, trying to make another notch on my dashboard of how many girls I�ve done.�
Sarah narrowed her eyes as her small body trembled with uncontrolled fury. �Well, my mother raised me to have morals, and keep my body pure. What did your mom teach you, Apolo?� she hissed vehemently.
As soon as the harsh words echoed through the silence of the room, Sarah immediately felt sorry for what she had said. �Oh my god, baby, I didn�t really mean that��
Apolo jumped off the bed, and grabbed his leather jacket off the wicker chair. �That�s it, I�m leaving. I don�t need this, and I definitely don�t need you.�
Sarah swiftly grabbed him by the arm so he could face her. He averted his gaze from her teary eyes, knowing that if he stared into them, he�d be compelled to stay.
�Apolo, look at me. That was totally out of line, but I just really want you to know how much waiting means to me. Okay?�
He paused, then searched into Sarah�s light green eyes, pleading with all sincerity for him to spend the night with her, to feel his warm body at her side. He sighed deeply. �Alright. I�m sorry.�
Sarah smiled as she tiptoed to give him a quick kiss on the nose. �I do love you. You know I mean that right.�
Apolo bit down on his lip. �Yeah. I love you too.� He stared down at the faded blue carpet as she wrapped her arms around him in a loving embrace. It would be a long night.
