Beyond the Threshold

Part 9

As Dean stood there, wrapped in the towel, his eyes locked onto Valerie's, he felt a surge of desire wash over him. He took a step closer, his movements smooth and deliberate, and Valerie's eyes widened in response. The air was charged with tension, and Dean could feel the attraction between them like a palpable force. He leaned into her, his face inches from hers, and Valerie's breath caught in her throat. Dean's eyes roamed over her features, taking in the gentle curve of her nose, the fullness of her lips, and the sparkle in her eyes. He needed her. Bad. Valerie's body seemed to glow in the soft light of the bathroom, her curves calling to him like a siren's song. He could see the faintest hint of her shoulders, the gentle slope of her neck, and the softness of her skin. Dean's fingers itched to touch her, to explore the contours of her body, and to claim her as his own. As he stood there, his heart pounding in his chest, Dean knew that he was on the brink of losing control. He wanted to kiss her, to taste her lips, and to feel her body pressed against his. The towel around his waist seemed to be the only thing holding him back, and he knew that it wouldn't be enough to keep him contained for long. Valerie's eyes seemed to be searching his, looking for something, and Dean knew that he had to give it to her. He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her ear, and whispered, "I want you, Valerie." The sound of his own voice was like a spark to gasoline, and Dean felt his desire surge out of control. He turned his head, his lips tracing the curve of her neck, and Valerie's breath caught in her throat. She was trembling, her body responding to his touch, and Dean knew that he was lost. He needed to hold her, to feel her body against his, and to claim her as his own. Dean's arms wrapped around her, pulling her close, and Valerie's curves molded to his body. The towel around his waist slipped, but he didn't care. He was beyond caring. All he knew was that he needed her, and he needed her now. As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Dean knew that there was no turning back. They had crossed a threshold, and there was no going back to the way things were before. The question was, what would happen next?
