 A Good Place to Leave Your Heart, Part 3

   by Little Ellie

   (Mg, rom, slow)

   ----------------------------------



   I blew warm air into my hands, trying desperately to warm myself up.  It
was bordering on November, and the air had that distinct chill in it that
told you winter wasn't far off.  I couldn't bring myself to pull out my
winter coat and gloves yet.

   This girl better appreciate me for this, I thought with a smile.

   It was 3:30 and here I was, standing outside Annalise's school.  Julie
had some meetings so I was picking up the slack.  Usually, she made sure to
get home in time to pick up Annalise from school and then work a little bit
at home.  Unfortunately, her company was in the middle of a big project and
she had to be present at all of their meetings until the project was done.
Which, she hoped, would be a day or two.  I hoped the project was never
done, because that meant I'd get more uninterrupted time with my little
angel.

   Since I'd had Annalise over at my apartment a few days before, I hadn't
seen her and I was feeling nervous.  I didn't see anything wrong with what
we'd done, but I wasn't sure she'd continue to see it that way.  Society
had a way of getting to even the strongest of people.  Even if she wasn't
hurt and she didn't think it was wrong when we did it, she may not feel
that way forever.

   I hadn't made any plans for us for the day.  I wasn't sure what she'd
want to do.  Part of me was hoping she'd want to spend the whole day in
bed. But my gut knew that she was also an 8 year-old child.  Even if she
wanted to spend part of the time in bed, I knew we'd end up watching
Tangled or something.  And that's why I loved her so much.

   I heard the bell ring and waited impatiently, pacing a little bit
outside the school.  Kids began to stream out the front doors, laughing and
chasing each other after a long day cooped up within the imposing white
walls before me.  It made me feel happy in a way that nothing else can. 
Childhood innocence is so beautiful.  And Annalise made me feel like a
child again.  It was one of the things I loved about our relationship.

   "Caleb!  Caleb!"

   An angelic voice brought me back to reality.  I found the source of the
voice in the form of my beautiful 8 year-old neighbor.  Her blonde head
bobbed up and down as she began sprinting toward me, the biggest smile in
the world covering her face.  I knelt down and scooped her up into my arms,
hugging her tightly.  Obviously, she wasn't angry with me.

   I put one hand on the back of her head and kissed the side of her head.
Her arms were looped tightly around my neck, holding me close, as her leg
wrapped as far as they could around my back.  It was a good thing she
wasn't any bigger, or else she'd have strangled me with her love.

   She pulled out of the hug briefly, still looping her arms around my
neck.

   "Hi," she said, grinning.

   "Hey," I said simply, smiling back.

   There was a moment of silence between us, just smiling at one another.
We both burst out laughing.  I kissed her on the cheek, adjusted her so she
was resting on my back, and started the walk down the street to my
apartment.

   "So how was school?" I asked, bouncing her up and down.

   She rested her head on my shoulder.  "Good.  I missed you."

   I took one hand off her bottom and cradled her head with it, nuzzling
her head with mine.

   "I missed you too, babe," I said.

   She leaned in closer and I felt her breath on my ear.  "I thought about
you all day.  And what we're going to do today."

   I suppressed a smile and bit my lip.  "Oh, really?  And what are we
going to do today, Annalise?"

   "S-e-x," she whispered.

   "What?" I teased.

   Her voice was a little louder.  "S-e-x."

   "I heard you.  If you can't say it, maybe we shouldn't do it."

   She cupped a hand over my ear and whispered barely audibly, "Sex."

   "That's right, we are.  You know, as long as you still want to."

   Annalise squeezed me around the neck and stuck her tongue in my ear,
something that made my knees weak.  She was copying what I had done to her
the other day, and it was super sexy.

   "Oh, God, Annalise," I said, my breath already becoming ragged.  I felt
my erection already hardening in my pants.

   Delighting in my arousal, the little tease began kissing my cheek
repeatedly.  My pulse quickened and I just couldn't think straight.  I
adjusted Annalise so that she was clinging to my front, facing me.  I held
her close and whispered in her ear.

   "Baby girl, if you don't stop that, I'll have to take you right here on
the street."

   "So?  Do it."

   I stopped in my tracks and Annalise looked at me, giggling.

   "You are terrible," I said, teasing her.  "You know we'd get in so much
trouble for that, right?"

   She nodded, still smiling.  "Uh huh."

   "You know, if they were to catch us, they'd lock me up and then you'd
have to find someone else to cuddle with."

   The look that crossed her face was priceless.  She had a momentary
terror look, then a bit of confusion danced across her face, and finally
her eyes narrowed into a glare and her lips tightened.

   "Hey!  That's not nice," she accused.

   "I'm not kidding!  They would."

   By this time, we were into our building, so I felt safe giving her a
brief kiss.  My little girl tried to extend the kiss, and I obliged for a
moment, but I knew it was dangerous to indulge in such things while still
not in complete privacy.  So I reluctantly ended the kiss and carried my
blonde angel up the stairs.

   I fumbled with my keys, unable to concentrate due to my horniness and my
anticipation of what was to come.  Without any prompting, my erection was
at the ready.

   Finally, I managed to get the door open and shake Annalise off of me
long enough for me to set down my bag.  She promptly began stripping, but I
stopped her.

   "Wait," I said, holding her hands and caressing the backsides with my
thumbs.  I gazed into those beautiful blue eyes.  "I want to do that."

   She smiled at me in that cute way only a little girl can do.  I went
over to the window and closed the curtain.  I strolled slowly back to my
soon-to-be-naked angel and got down on my knees.  I carefully slipped my
fingers underneath her shirt, grabbed both sides.  She looked at me with
what I can only describe as a loving sparkle as I pulled her shirt up over
her head.  She complied and lifted her arms to allow me to get the shirt
off.  As soon as the collar clear her head, I had to lean forward to pull
the shirt further up.  My eyes met Annalise's and I couldn't help myself. I
kissed her.

   Her mouth latched onto mine as I finished removing her shirt.  As soon
as the fabric cleared the end of her hands, she wrapped her arms tightly
around my neck, pressing herself into me.  She opened her mouth and thrust
her small tongue into my mouth.  I moaned and kissed her back, licking her
tongue, gums, and teeth.  Saliva began to run out of our mouths and down
our chins, but I couldn't care less.  In fact, it became more arousing to
have our combined spit dripping from our coupled mouths.

   I reluctantly ended our kiss and began eagerly kissing around her face,
and then down her neck, nibbling lightly, but not enough to give her a
hickey.  I wasn't sure how I'd explain that one to her mother.  So I
continued down, lightly sucking and licking each of her nipples, causing
her to moan loudly and grab my head, directing me to the spots that caused
her the most pleasure.  But I wanted to tease her to maximize her pleasure,
so I included her nipples in my kissing attack as well as her lower chest
and her stomach.  I kissed my way down to her waistband, where I lingered
for a few moments just to torture my little girl a bit.

   Annalise moaned in anticipation, pushing my head down and into her
crotch, but I resisted, looping my fingers through the waistband of her
panties and her jeans.  I began unwrapping the most beautiful present in
the world as quickly as I dared.  I wanted to ravish her at that very
second, but I knew that sex was better when it was slowed down.  You had to
savor every moment.  If you went too fast, it'd be over in an instant. 
And, God, did I want this to last.

   Her jeans were harder to get off than I thought they'd be, so I had to
remove my lips from her heavenly body and sit her down on the bed while I
struggled to strip the jeans off the bottom of her legs.  Stupid skinny
jeans.  Isn't 8 a little bit young to be wearing skinny jeans anyway?

   I didn't linger on the issue, as I had more pressing things to do.  I
went to work on her pussy.  Oral sex was something I hadn't tried with
Annalise yet, but I figured she'd like it.  I'd only performed it a couple
of times with my ex-girlfriend when we were freshmen.  As every college
freshmen does, I had my fair share of sexual experiences when I first left
home.  I had a lot of hormones I needed to get out.  Looking back, I did
surprisingly well, only having one girlfriend that whole time.  But anyway,
I had a little practice in this area and I knew what my ex-girlfriend
liked. So I tried that out on Annalise.

   From the gasps and moans I elicited from the 8 year-old, I'd say she was
enjoying herself.  She grabbed my hair, pushing my head into her slit as I
lapped around the outside.  Trying to mix it up, I started thrusting my
tongue in and out while fingering her protruding clit.  She was so aroused
that the clit was very pronounced.  Between fingering and the thorough
tongue-fucking I was giving her, I could feel her fast approaching a
climax.

   "Oh!  Oh!  Caleb!" she began screaming, pushing my face harder into her
pussy.

   I could barely breathe at this point, but I didn't care.  All I cared
about was licking her little slit until she came.  I felt her pussy muscles
begin to contract, her hips bucking into my face, signaling the beginning
of her beautiful orgasm.

   Watching her pleasure was nearly enough to make me come.  I felt myself
unconsciously moan as my tongue continued working its magic.  Her moans
continued at a rather consistent rate for longer than I would have
expected. She was having one hell of an orgasm.

   Slowly but surely, her moans faded into short whimpers.  I made my way
up to her face and pressed my mouth against hers, capturing her lips and
kissing her as delicately as I could.

   "Caleb, that felt so amazing," Annalise breathed, still recovering.

   "Only the best for my girl," I told her, kissing her forehead.

   She kissed my lips softly, then looked into my eyes.

   "Now it's your turn," she said determinedly.

   She kissed me again, then began copying what I had done a few minutes
before.  She moved her lips across my face, along my neck, and began
stripping my shirt off.  As soon as she got it off, she kissed down my
chest to my nipples, where she sucked each one a little bit too hard.  I
stopped her, but chuckled at her enthusiasm.  I told her to be careful and
she smiled sheepishly then continued.  She ran her kisses down my stomach
to the waistband of my jeans.  She began running her tongue along my
waistband.  For some reason, I found her licking my stomach to be
incredibly arousing.  She continued this as she undid my belt and started
taking my jeans off.

   "Oh, babe, keep doing that," I told her, stroking her hair.  "That feels
perfect."

   She began licking furiously at my loins, down to my erection.  Presented
with a new challenge, she clearly had no idea what to do, because she just
started licking it up and down.  While that felt incredible, I was pretty
sure she could do better with some guidance.

   "Annalise, wait a second," I said, putting a finger underneath her chin
and lifting her away from my cock.  "I love what you're doing now, but try
this.  Put your mouth over the top.  Suck it lock a popsicle, okay?  And
move your head up and down."

   She didn't need to be told twice.  She sucked the head of my cock,
running her tongue all around it.  With that move alone, I felt my balls
tingling.  I knew I wasn't going to last long.

   "Annalise, I'm going to- Oh my god!"

   As I began talking, Annalise began to run her tongue down the back of my
shaft as she lowered her head to take more of me into her mouth.  The
feeling was as close to perfect as I'd ever felt.  I knew that most people
thought sex with children was wrong.  But at that moment, I had absolutely
no clue why.  I thought that Annalise giving a blowjob was quite possibly
the greatest sensation a person could feel.

   Cum shot out of my cock at the speed of light, spurting violently into
Annalise's mouth, where she prompting starting choking and sputtering.  She
removed her head and I began spraying onto my stomach.

   Once the spurting had subsided, she looked up at me with a disappointed
face.

   "I'm sorry I started coughing," she said quietly.

   I laughed.  "Oh, babe, that's fine.  It was your first time trying it. I
don't expect you to be perfect.  And some girls don't like swallowing, even
after they've done that a million times."

   "Really?"

   "Really.  I just love that you tried."

   She smiled and the looked curiously at the puddle of cum on my stomach.
She dipped a finger in and then sucked on it.  A wide grin appeared and she
moved her face down to my cock so she could lick me clean in addition to
noisily slurping up the rest of the cum on my stomach.

   When she was done, she came up to kiss me.  I could taste my cum when I
inserted my tongue between her lips.  The thought of tasting my own cum had
always been something I'd been indifferent toward.  But now, getting to
taste it in the mouth of the sexiest girl on the planet, I found the
sensation incredibly arousing.  It wasn't so much the taste of the semen
itself, more like the taste along with the knowledge that this beautiful
little angel had just sucked my cock to an explosive orgasm.

   Annalise broke our kiss and looked at me, her face flushed with
excitement.

   "Did you like it?" she asked, slightly nervous.

   "Of course I liked it," I told her.  "Why wouldn't I?"

   "Well, I've never done it before..." Her voice trailed off.

   "Babe, sex isn't about how well you do it.  Well, I mean, it can get
better once you've done it a few times, but it's mostly about the person
you're doing it with.  And I'm doing it with you, the girl of my dreams. 
How could I not love that?"

   "Good.  Because I love you."

   "I love you too babe.  More than anything in the world."

   She wrapped her arms around my neck and laid her on my shoulder,
exhausted from our lovemaking.  Suddenly, I felt her little tongue on my
neck and her teeth nibbling at me.  I couldn't help but laugh.

   "Annelise, do you seriously want to go again already?" I asked.

   "Uh huh," she said playfully.

   "I can't.  Guys can't recover that quick."

   "You did the other day."

   "Yeah, but that was an exception.  And I was really sore later."

   She sighed, blowing hot air against my neck.  "Fine."

   I kissed her head.  "Love you, baby.  I promise we'll do it again
tomorrow, okay?" I didn't get a response.  "Okay?"

   I nudged her head with mine and it lazily turned up toward me.  The
girl's eyes were shut and her mouth lolled open slightly.  The poor child
had just fallen asleep.  She must have been more tired than she realized.

   It didn't hit me at first what had just happened, or rather, what was
still happening.  I'd just had sex with Annalise.  With an eight year-old.
Part of my conscience weighed heavily on me for stripping a little girl of
her innocence for my own personal satisfaction.  How could I do such a
thing to her?  I loved her with every fiber of my being.  Someone who loved
her shouldn't be hurting her.

   But was I hurting her?  I guess arguments could be made both ways.  But
looking at the peaceful, euphoric face of the sleeping angel next to me, I
had a really hard time believing I was hurting her.

   I finally realized that I couldn't live with myself if I had hurt this
perfect child.  I accepted that, at least for the moment, I wasn't hurting
her.  I knew I had to tread carefully now that we were in this stage of our
relationship.  Once sex got involved, everything changed.

   But I also knew the worst thing I could do is overthink the
relationship. I had ruined more than one relationship trying to figure out
exactly what I should be doing to be the "perfect boyfriend" and all that.
I'd just drive myself crazy wondering what I should be doing.  All I should
do is love her as best I can.

   -------------------------

   Before I knew it, I awoke with a start.  There was a knocking on the
door.  I looked down at the sleeping child beside me, still naked as could
be.  I panicked.  We were good about not being caught yet.  Was that about
to change?

   I kissed Annalise several times on the forehead and nudged her gently,
then a little less gently, trying desperately to wake up her.  She didn't
even stir.  I managed to get her off of me enough so that I could drag
myself out of bed.

   "Caleb?  You guys are asleep in there, aren't you?"

   Julie's voice was faint through the door of the apartment.  My heart
stopped.  How on Earth could I answer the door with her daughter naked in
my bed?  The knocking stopped for a moment and I thought I was in the
clear, and then my phone started vibrating.  I saw I already had three
missed calls from Julie in the past half hour.

   I quickly picked it up.  "Hello?"

   While awaiting a response, I threw on clothes, pulling my pants up and
picking up my shirt.

   "Caleb, hey, it's Julie," came the voice on the other end.  "I've tried
calling you a couple times.  Are you guys in your apartment right now?"

   "Yeah, sorry.  You know us, we fell asleep watching a movie."

   "Oh okay.  Can you open up?  I forgot that Annalise has a doctor's
appointment today.  I scheduled it months ago and it completely slipped my
mind.  I'm so sorry to intrude on your time together and I'm sure Annalise
is going to make me pay for it later, but I really need to take her to the
appointment now."

   "No problem.  Give me a second to wake her up."

   "Okay.  I'll be out here."

   I hung up hastily and put my shirt on as fast as I could.

   "Annalise!  Annalise!  Wake up!" I whispered.

   The blonde angel moaned quietly in that childish way, clearly just
arising from a deep sleep.  She moved a little bit, stretching herself out.

   "Take me again, Caleb," she murmured.  "Please ta-"

   "I'd love to, babe, but your mom's outside."

   Her eyes flew open with immense urgency and she sat up, rubbing her eyes
and pushing the covers off of her.

   "What?" she asked groggily.  "I thought she wasn't-"

   "You have a doctor's appointment.  She came early."

   I handed the girl her clothes, which she proceeded to dress in as fast
as she could.  I grabbed my hairbrush from my nightstand, combing it
through her hair briefly so that her hair looked more like bedhead than sex
hair.

   "How do I look?" she asked, running a hand through her hair.

   "Beautiful."

   "Aw, thanks." She kissed me quickly.

   "Oh, you're got something on your face," I told her teasingly.

   Thinking I was serious, her smile faded and she asked, "What?  Where?"

   I put a finger on her cheek.  "Right...there."

   She rubbed the spot and then looked at her hand.  "Did I get it?"

   "No."

   "What about now?"

   "Still no." She was about to try again when I stopped her and smirked.
"No, it's fine.  I got it."

   I attacked her face with kisses, doing them loud and showy.  She started
laughing and I scooped her up in my arms as she put her arms around my
neck. I opened the door to find Julie in a business suit, checking her
watch.

   "Hey, thank you so much," she said.  "Sorry about this."

   I handed Annalise off to her mother, who promptly set her down.  The
child stumbled a little.

   "Oh," she said quietly.  "Sorry, my legs feel a little weak."

   As she said that, she looked at me.  I prayed to God that her mother
didn't see that look.

   Apparently not, because she just said, "Come on, quit messing around, we
have to go."

   As they began down the stairs, I started to shut my door.  Suddenly,
Annelise turned around, winked at me, and kept walking.  I winked back,
smiled, and closed the door.

   God, I love that girl.
