At nineteen, Amelia was ready to leave her parents home, and rule, but was scared. She had watched too many news reports, and read so many stories of young women being violated, assaulted, and much much worse. Luckily, she shared her concerns openly with her family and it turned out her dad had a solution. He had a friend, Drake, who had his own home, close to her school and close to the base that he was stationed at with the military, and where Amelia herself worked in the mess hall. He was thirty-five, newly single, and was looking for a roommate that he could count on to help him with his dog when he was gone and to clean and cook, as he was not a fan of housework after working ten-hour shifts. Amelia had known Drake for years and was very comfortable with that idea. Drake thought it would be a perfect fit, and agreed that Amelia should move in.
The following week, Amelia started to move into Drake's home. It was a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch, and sat on about three or four acres. Amelia unpacked and settled in quickly to her room. Drake made sure she felt welcomed and felt at home. She had full range of the house and had no rules.
As the days turned to weeks, and weeks into months, there was something blossoming between the two, but neither could figure it out. They were meshing so well, Drake loved how she was blending into his life; when he hosted poker on Saturday nights, she was always more than happy to make snacks for the guys, and always offered to fetch one a beer. Amelia was also fond of how Drake was so nice to her friends when they came over. It was hard to believe that they hadn't always lived this way.
Drake was eating lunch in the mess hall, which Amelia was still working at, when his friend Adam said, "What gives? You and Amelia are too good not to be a couple; why haven't you made the move, man?"
Drake finished chewing his bite of salad thoughtfully. Adam's words had just hit him hard. He, of course, knew Adam was right. In fact, Drake was trying to figure out that very question. It had been eating at him. Drake had slowly been coming to the realization that he wanted Amelia as more than a roommate, and was feeling a connection growing by the day.
He swallowed, turned to Adam, and said the only thing he could, "Thank you. I've been trying to figure out what had seemed different between Amelia and I lately. I hadn't put it together that it was a live connection; you're right. Believe me, I'm going to."
Drake worked on his plan for two weeks and waited for the right moment. He wanted it to be perfect; he wanted Amelia to know he was genuine and real in his emotions and his purpose of asking her to be his girlfriend. He waited until a Friday night, as he knew she had a class that went a little later in the evening.
Amelia walked in, and the house was dim, lit by some candles and a select few lights that had been set on a dimming switch. Amelia called out, "Drake? Is this a bad time? I can go out for a few hours if you're expecting someone."
Drake appeared, a bouquet of roses in his arms, a big smile on his face, dressed in khakis and a button-down shirt. Drake shook his head and said, "Nope, only person I was waiting for is you. I know, this seems crazy, but I felt I had to ask, get it off my chest; surely I can't be the only one of us who feels there's chemistry...and a deeper connection?" He extended his hands out, "These are for you."
Amelia took the flowers from him and set them down on the coffee table. For a moment, Drake feared he was going to end up heartbroken, that she didn't feel the same, but she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.
"I've been wondering if you were ever going to bring it up. I've been feeling the love and chemistry for a long time now, but I was afraid you wouldn't feel the same, or that you'd think I was too young and you too old, or we couldn't because of your friendship with my father, but I don't care about any of that. I just wanted you."
Drake smiled at her; he was so relieved she felt the same way. Amelia pushed him back onto the couch and straddled his lap. Their lips met in a passionate, steamy kiss. It wasn't long before Amelia felt the ever-growing bulge in Drake's pants beneath her. Her skirt was pushed up, leaving only his pants and her lacey panties between her and his erection.
Drake broke the kiss and went to Amelia's neck. Amelia seized the moment of her mouth being free and whispered, "Drake?"
"Yeah?"
"I want to make sweet love to you."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I want you so badly."
Drake stood up with Amelia in his arms, her legs wrapped around his waist. He carried her down the hall and to his room, kissing her the short trip down. Laying her on his bed, he climbed on top of her. His left hand wandered up her shirt, finding her small, braless breasts; he fondled with her breasts as he kissed her deeply.
Amelia ripped her shirt off and pushed Drake off her and unbuttoned his shirt. She ran her hands down his firm, tan torso, down to his pants, and unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, tugging them and his boxers down. Drake kicked them off from around his ankles as she threw her skirt and panties to the floor. She grabbed his cock in her hand as they kissed. Drake brushed her dirty blonde hair off her face and tucked it behind her ear with his right hand, grabbing her ass with his left.
