Beating Hearts

With the darkened room, the crackling of the fake fire and the soothing relaxing piano music softly cascading within his ear, Kasper should be starting to relax but instead the complete opposite was happening. As his head stood still, his eyes were darting around the room as he was beginning to get more and more stressed out. At the moment he had a beautiful girl resting her head in his lap, she had her eyes closed and was breathing very lightly out her parted mouth. His arms were still up on the edges of the couch and each of his hands were gripping and squeezing the cushions up top. Should he keep his hands there? Move them to his sides? Should he place them on Valerie? And if so, where would be the best place to put them? Normally the boy loved to keep his hands interlocked around his waist when he was sitting on a couch and relaxing but now, his mind was racing with these thoughts and he wasn't sure what to do.

"Don't like the music?" Valerie's soft voice whispers out catching the boy off guard and forcing him to tilt his head down and look into her delicate hazel eyes.

"No!" he replies immediately causing the girl to squint her eyes briefly, "No. I mean, yes. Yes I like it! It's just..." he swallows hard, thinking of a good response, "I don't...well, it's just..."

"Relax..." she whispers out as her left hand reaches up and rubs his cheek with her thumb, "Take a deep breath, close your eyes, listen to the fire and get lost in the beautiful sounds of these amazing artists."

"I...I..." he mumbles out before he clenches his eyes shut, all the while his hands continue to squeeze, twist and grip the top of the couch. The delicate touch of her thumb against his cheek wasn't helping and was only making him think harder. Should he make a move? Was she flirting with him? Or was she only trying to help calm him down? And again, where the hell should he place his hands?!?!

"Hey..." as if she was able to read his mind her other hand reaches up and she grips each of his within her own and then slowly brings them down to her body. Carefully moving them about, she places both his hands right on her chest, resting them above her heart, "Here. Relax." she says again. "Feel my heartbeat, listen to the music and take some deep breaths..."

Kasper tries to steady his breath as now his hands are making skin on skin contact with this absolutely gorgeous female teammate of his. He didn't know if she was trying to be sexual at all but she placed his hands on her chest, sure, it was to feel her heart beat but it was also right where her cleavage would be. Her warm, yet soft skin felt so good to his touch. It made it even more erotic when the sides of her thumbs start to rub the backside of his hands, comforting him and making him feel at ease. "Relax Kasper..." her voice whispers out again as she can sense he's still quite tense.

The blonde boy took a deep breath and exhales it slowly out of his body. He was feeling a lot better because now he wasn't worried where he should place his hands because the confidence and easy going girl took initiative and brought his hands where she wanted them. Still though, with his eyes clenched shut, he tries to focus on the gorgeous melody in his ear from the amazing work of Beethoven that was now rattling off from the earbud but in the back of his mind, all he could focus on was the gorgeous blonde on his lap, the delicate touch of her thumbs rubbing his hands, the back of her head resting on his crotch and the almost erotic slow breaths exiting her mouth.

"There you go..." she whispers out again as her fingers continue to caress his, "Get washed away in the melody..."

It was working as now the boy continues to inhale and exhale over and over again allowing to better calm himself. "This is nice..." he mumbles out his lips, "Very umm, very comforting... I could get use to this..."

"Yeah..." Valerie purrs, "Just the perfect way to spend the evening..."

That much was true, Kasper was beginning to really enjoy the moment. Although truthfully he wasn't sure if it was because the peaceful atmosphere around him, the majestic sounds pulsing through his body or the feminine touch of Valerie gently stroking his hands as he rests them on her chest. Either way, he was loving the spot he was in and the combination of everything going through his body, between the sounds of the music and fire, the touch of the beautiful women and the smell of her body wash and perfume, it truly was becoming the perfect way to spend the evening.
