How did I mess this up so badly?

'No, I will not have my pants down, and cover my m*****d, and then call you. What do you take me for honest with you as I can. I did not mean to hurt your feelings.

I took her hand and pulled it to my lips, and her eyes followed her hand. Then, I flicked her eyes up to mine. She looked shy and curious at the same time. How was that even possible?

Standing up, I pulled her up with me. Getting the green light was all I needed. I am confident the hard part was over from here, making sure we were on the same page. I felt I had full steam ahead and wanted to get her to her bedroom and fast. I have no problems in the bedroom. I am going to make her scream my name a number of times tonight.

Once she was standing, I swept her off her feet and carried her bridal style to her bedroom. Well, the room I assumed would be her bedroom, as that place is a mirror of mine. I used my foot to kick her door open and, with a few strides, gently laid her on her bed. She looked up at me with lustful eyes. I leaned over her and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. Her eyes fluttered shut as if she was expecting more and flicked open when I moved back away from her.

Moving to the end of the bed, I tickled her bare feet, and she squirmed. Good, she is ticklish. I will store that for another day. I slowly crawled up her body and removed her clothes, one item at a time. I removed her bra and gave each of her breasts a kiss, suckling on the n****e before slowly kissing my way down her body and removing her panties. Very slowly, I removed one foot and kissed the ankle, pulled the other leg out and kissed that ankle, and threw the panties in the general direction of the rest of her clothes. She pouted.

'You need to strip; give me a show. Would you like some music while you do it?' Bethany was teasing me now as she scooted up the bed and leaned back on the pillows, watching my every move.

I sat on the bed, removed my left shoe, and threw it somewhere. I heard it land, and nothing broke, so it was a good throw. I removed my sock and sent it in the same direction, and then I did the same with my left shoe and sock, taking it slow.

As I continued watching Bethany, I stood up, slowly unbuttoned my shirt, and pulled it off me. Her eyes checked my pecs and trailed down to my waist, following the amount of hair I had on my chest. I am a little hairy, but I thought it looked good on me. Not too much, just enough. I undid my belt and buttons on my jeans. This pair did not have a zipper, and I slowly lowered my jeans to the floor. I picked them up and found my wallet, removed the condoms I had in there, and threw the jeans in the same direction I had the rest of Bethany's and my clothes; I pulled off my boxers and crawled on the bed, reached her bedside table, threw the condoms there.

I leaned on my arms on either side of her head and put my knees on either side of her waist. She was going nowhere. Leaning down, I started to kiss her, using my tongue along her lips. She parted hers, and I plunged my tongue into her mouth and tasted the cheesecake we had earlier, which was sweet. I danced my tongue in her mouth, and she used her tongue to play with mine. I was not rock hard and wanted to take her now, but I resisted the urge. We had all night, and I wanted her to shout out my name at least once before I put a condom on.
