A New Year's Resolution
By: Michelle Moon
By: Michelle Moon
Five,
four, three, two, one! She turned to find Sam who had just been at
her side for her kiss, but he had disappeared. When she found him he
was sitting in a booth holding his beautiful face in his strong
hands. She took the seat across from him.
"Where did you go? I was looking for my midnight kiss," she said with a slight pout on her red lips.
"Emily we have to talk," he said looking up at her with all seriousness in his eyes.
"All right," she said taken aback.
"It has been a great couple of months, but I don't think we are working out."
She gasped, "Not tonight, I don't believe you are going to do this now. I thought we were doing good."
"It's not you, it's me. We were having a fun time, but I am looking for something more permanent."
"I can be as permanent as you let me be."
"That's just it, I have to let you. We aren't easily fitting together." With that he stood and put his hand on her shoulder. "Some part of me wishes it was different, but I can't do this anymore. Come on I'll take you home."
She stood harshly brushing off his touch. "No thank you. I will find my own way home." Then she stormed out of the ballroom where she had been enjoying the most magical New Years Eve party she could remember. She wiped the tears from her eyes smudging her eyeliner. Asking the lady at the desk to call her a cab she sat down to wait.
She had expected him to come after her, but he didn't and she knew it was truly over. When the cab arrived she hopped in thankful she always carried cash in case of an emergency. She gave the driver her address and sat back. She went over in her mind the wonderful and the trying things in the relationship that had so abruptly ended. Right then and there she made the new year's resolution not to have a relationship with another man for the year. She was going to focus solely on herself and find what she wanted. The driver seemed to try his best to ignore the muttering that was coming from the back seat and she was happy he didn't try to make conversation.

Once
home she hastily let her self into her apartment as hot angry tears
still splashed down her face. After a relaxing shower she dressed in
her most comfy satin PJ’s and poured herself a glass of wine. She
then joined her cat on the sofa with the book she was reading. After
a few good chapters she heard someone rattling her door handle.
She went to the door and peeked out the peep hole to find her neighbor from across the hall. He was putting a key in her lock then pulling it out and cursing. He looked very drunk. She opened the door, his eyes flew open as wide as saucers. “When I told you that you were welcome any time I didn't mean you would have to break and enter,” she said with a smile.
“Well
crap got the wrong door can you believe that?”
“Not
really because the gold numbers are pretty big,” She replied
thinking of the first time they met and how hot she found him.
“It
seems that Tequila not only makes your cloths fall off it makes you
forget where you live. Or maybe it just gives you the courage to talk
to the beautiful woman across the hall.”
“Oh
I see,” she said. She realized she was hoping he was coming on to
her and it was not just the tequila talking.
“We
shouldn't stay here in the hall way to talk. Why don't you invite me
in?”
She
thought about the resolution she had made just a few hours ago and
wondered if she should already break it with Dave. His hair was long,
blond and worn loose. His eyes were blue, his build was long and
lean. He seemed the perfect rebound and who keeps their resolutions
anyway. She invited him in with one intention and he had no trouble
reading her mind. They were barely in the door when he leaned in to
kiss her. Her lips were a tingly fire. Staying intertwined they moved
toward the couch as she unbuttoned his shirt. He returned the favor
and she worked her way to his belt.
Her
PJ bottoms fell off so easily it was like they had a mind of their
own. Yes, this was moving so fast, but she needed to be in his arms.
She stood unabashedly naked in front of him. He gently guided her on
to the couch and his tongue explored every inch of her body. Lightly
he sucked her neck and she felt tingles running through her body. As
he moved agonizingly slow down her body every inch seemed to come
alive. Her nipples were at attention by the time he brushed them with
his skilled tongue. Causing her whole body to shudder as he sucked
gently.
He
kissed and licked down her stomach and as he moved lower she began to
sigh slightly in anticipation. He moved down her thighs letting his
hair brush her pussy. He worked his way back up her other thigh and
this time her anticipation was relieved. His tongue circled around
and around her clit until with each revolution she moaned and gyrated
in time. Faster and faster until her body shuddered again and this
time the release she had been looking for came. Kicking off his shoes
and jeans he made it clear he intended to bring her to climax again
and again.
