of the floor with candles encircling it.
Paige trembled, knowing now that all her suspicions over the past few weeks were real. Joseph reached for both her hands and drew her down to the blanket.
"Paige," he spoke to her with a quiet voice. He cleared his throat and started again, "Paige, we've been friends for a long time. But, I've always wanted more."
Paige smiled and her heart beat so loudly she was afraid he could hear it.
"I didn't say anything because I was afraid you didn't feel the same. I didn't want to risk losing you."
"Joseph," Paige started to speak but he stopped her.
"Let me finish, I've been thinking about this for a long time." Paige sat back and let Joseph finish what he wanted to say.
"I didn't want to lose you, so I said nothing. But then I realized by not saying anything, I had already lost you. I don’t want another day without you. I'm in love with you."
Paige reached her hand up to his face and caressed his cheek. She heard his sharp intake of air.
"Joseph, I've loved you for a long time." Paige leaned forward and brushed her lips on his.
The kiss was gentle, almost timid, and brief. Her heart was in her neck, his eyes looked down hungrily at her lips.
"I was worried you wouldn't feel the same," Joseph said. "I was a little afraid to tell you. I didn't want things to be uncomfortable between us." She kissed him again, gently.
"Things will only be uncomfortable if that's how you like it" Paige responded. Joseph's eyes lit up.
"You'd be surprised what I like," he whispered into her ear. He planted kisses on her cheek all the way from her earlobe to her mouth. He tilted her chin up and kissed her with his mouth wide open. He flicked his tongue against her lips, inviting her tongue into his mouth.
That was all the invitation Paige needed. She shifted up on her knees, hiked her skirt up around her waist, and straddled him where he sat.
"Oh god," he said. She pressed her lips into his and kissed him deeply and passionately. His tongue welcomed hers. She could feel him getting hard, his cock pressing against his pants and into her thigh. Her panties were soaked already.
Joseph held her hips but didn't let his hands roam. He was too much of a gentleman to realize what Paige really wanted. She was going to have to make it a lot more obvious.
She rocked against his cock and he moaned loudly. Still, his hands stayed chastely on her hips.
Paige grabbed one of his hands and moved it inside her skirt and onto her ass. She pulled his other hand up to her breast. He kissed her so passionately that she could taste a little blood. He squeezed and dug his fingers into the skin of her ass. She wanted him desperately.
"Joseph," she breathed into his ear, "I've wanted you since the first day I met you."
Paige pulled away from the kiss and looked him in the eye. She started unbuttoning her shirt but Joseph gently took her hands away from the buttons. He unbuttoned her shirt slowly, kissing her where the buttons used to be as he undid each one. He slowly slid the shirt down her arms, taking in the beauty of her skin.
Joseph buried his face in her cleavage, licking and nipping at her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned at each little bite. His hips were rocking against her now, he wasn't holding back anymore. Paige licked her lips at the thought of what she was going to get.
Joseph reached behind her and undid the clasps of her bra. She peeled it off and tossed it onto the blanket. Joseph's eyes widened at the sight of her supple breasts and pert nipples. Paige laughed at his response until he took one of her nipples into his mouth. He sucked and licked and bit her hard. Paige gasped from the pain and pleasure.
Joseph wrapped on arm under her ass and the other around her back. He wanted full access and she needed to be on her back for that. He leaned over her and sucked her nipples. She arched her back and pressed her breasts up toward his face. He dragged his fingers slowly down her
