The Candy Shop -- written by Brittany

Reese sighed, watching the entrance to her grandmother's candy shop. It hardly opened during the week anymore.

"Come on," she whined, looking at the clock. She got off in two hours; way too long.

The bell at the top of the door jingled, making Reese jump.

Seeing the boy walk in, Reese smiled.

"Kevin! You're back!" she exclaimed, coming out from behind the counter

"Just like every summer," Kevin chuckled, giving Reese a gentle hug when she reached him.

Kevin had come there with his family every summer since he was eleven, and he and Reese had formed a tight friendship over the years.

"Thank God you're here. Summer has been so boring!"

"Didn't it start, like, two weeks ago?" Kevin asked, smirking.

"Yeah, but still. You make things so much more fun," Reese said, blushing softly.

"The past year has been...good to you," Kevin said quietly, eyeing her body quickly.

"T-Thanks. Um, you, too."

With a shrug, Kevin wandered over and sat at the counter, which was also a booth for where people sat to drink sodas and eat sundaes.

Walking back behind the counter, Reese leaned on her elbows and looked at Kevin.

"You want something?" she asked, pointing to the many candies in the store.

Kevin chewed his lip as he looked around. He finally nodded and looked back at Reese.

"Well?" she asked, looking at him expectantly.

"What about some homemade dark chocolate fudge?" Kevin asked, licking his lips.

Reese grinned. That was her favorite.

"I think there's some in the back. Let me go see," she said, tapping Kevin's nose and then pushing on the the swinging doors to get to the back room.

Tapping his feet against the floor for a moment, Kevin glanced around.

"Just do it," he told himself, then got up and pushed the doors open, entering the back room.

Reese stood up from looking on a bottom shelf.

"You scared me," she laughed, her hand on her heart.

"Sorry," Kevin said quietly.

"Are you okay?" Reese asked, looking at him carefully.

"Um, no," he replied, shaking his head.

"What's wrong?"

"See," Kevin said, walking over to her, "there's this girl that I've liked for years, but I've never had the guts to tell her."

"Oh?" Reese asked, swallowing when Kevin was about three feet away from her.

"Yeah. So you see, I have this problem: I don't know if she likes me back and I don't know how to tell."

"Um, have you...asked her?" Reese asked, watching Kevin make three feet two.

"No, not yet." Kevin shook his head and looked around the large back room, filled with candy, donuts and fudge, along with instruments and ingredients to make some of the treats.

"Oh," she said, nodding slightly.

"I was hoping to just make a move and let actions speak for themselves," he said, walking into Reese and making her hit the shelf.

"Wh-Uh," Reese stammered, looking around nervously.

"Please tell me you understand that this girl is you," Kevin said, leaning in and letting his breath tickle her lips.

"I...I had hoped," Reese replied.

"Good," Kevin smiled, letting his lips brush hers gently. Parting his lips, he deepened the kiss quickly. His fingers snaking up her sides, he felt her shiver and he smiled. Their tounges touched and Reese let out a breathy moan.

Pulling back, Kevin smiled at her and then let his lips run down her neck, sucking gently.

Biting her lip gently, she played with his curls as his tounge teased her skin.

"Kev," she whispered, tugging on his hair.

"Hm?"

"Why now?" Reese asked, letting her head tilt back so Kevin had more skin to torture.

"Well," Kevin said, his teeth grazing across her collarbones, "I just decided to go for it this summer."

"Why not last summer or the - mmm - summer before that?"

"Let's call it a self-esteem thing," Kevin whispered, unbuttoning her work shirt and moving his lips down to her bra.

"O-Okay," she said, swallowing.

Leaving the shirt on but opening it fully, Kevin kissed down further, sinking to his knees as his lips touched her naval, swirling his tounge around and tugging gently at the barbell that was inserted through her skin. His fingers ran up and down her sides, slipping under her bra. Brushing his fingers over her skin, he heard her let out the smallest of moans. Glancing up at her, his lips still on her skin, he removed his hands and moved them down, brushing against her bare legs.

"Good day for a skirt," Kevin whispered, biting her hip as his hands moved underneath the skirt.

Reese's breathing became heavy as she felt Kevin's fingers brush against her. Biting her lips when she felt her underwear being pulled down, she suddenly became aware of what was happening.

"K-Kevin, the register," she said, trembling when Kevin hands slid back up her legs, teasing her inner thighs.

"Nobody comes in during the week," Kevin replied, a finger sliding into her.

Closing her eyes, she felt herself lean more into the shelf behind her.

Kevin pushed her hips with his free hand until she was awkwardly sitting on the shelf, her slip-on shoes falling off. Adding more fingers, he teased her until she moaned loudly. Her hips rocked slowly, her breathing uneven. Biting his lip, he kissed her knee, his lips making her skirt inch up as his lips moved up.

"What are you - oh God," Reese moaned, feeling Kevin's tounge hot on her inner thigh before feeling his fingers being replaced with his mouth.

His tounge moving slowly, Kevin let one of his hands roam back up to her chest, the other resting on her hip. Sucking on her most sensitive spot, Reese's back arched, one hand tangling in his hair.

"Oh, Kevin," she moaned, her hips moving slowly.

His tounge teased her, his fingers adding to her pleasure with their roaming.

Biting her lip as she moaned, Reese found herself gripping the shelf tightly with her free hand.

Alternating with flicks and sucks, Kevin felt her lower body begin to tense. Setting her feet on Kevin's hips, she groaned, her head tilted back with her lips parted, her hips rotating in sync with his mouth.

"Oh God, don't stop. Please don't stop," Reese moaned, her fingers clutching his hair tighter.

Sucking gently after hearing her moan a few more times, he felt her toes dig into his sides. Letting his tounge flicker over her a few more times, he finally gave in and set his mouth on her hard.

Groaning loudly, her back began to arch as she felt herself tensing more.

"Oh, yes. God, Kevin, yes. Ohhh," she moaned, trembling as she came to her end. Her hips moving slowly with her after-shocks, Kevin was gentler, both his hands now on her hips. Placing a kiss on her inner thigh, he slid her underwear back up and then stood up, brushing his pants off.

Her lip still bitten, her skin flushed, Reese stared at Kevin.

Grinning, he looked back at her.

"What can I say, I have a sweet tooth," he whispered.

"Damn," Reese groaned, letting Kevin help her stand up.

Resting her hands on his neck, she looked at him and sighed contently.

Hearing the bell on the door ring, they froze.

"Reese?"

"Um, hang on, Grandma," Reese said, quickly buttoning her shirt and smoothing out her skirt. Heading for the swinging doors, Kevin caught her and pulled her back, kissing her deeply.

Giving into the kiss, she practically melted, her arms comfortably around his neck.

"Where are you?"

Pulling away from him, Reese motioned for him to stay put. Grabbing a tray of fudge, she walked through the doors and smiled at her Grandma.

"We were out," she said, sliding the tray into the display window.

"Oh," her grandma smiled.

Reese glanced around, slightly nervous.

"Is that Kevin's car I saw out front? Is he back already?"

"Uh-"

"Yes, ma'am."

Reese and her grandma looked up, seeing Kevin pop up from behind a smaller shelf.

"Oh, there you are!" she exclaimed, walking over and hugging Kevin.

"How are you Mrs. Martin?" Kevin asked politely.

"I'm just fine, dear, thank you," she said, patting his hand.

"Um, Kevin, isn't your mom waiting for her-"

"Yes," Kevin said quickly, nodding and walking over to the counter.

"Well hang on, I must know what his first pick of the summer is," Mrs. Martin said, walking to the counter.

"His what?" Reese asked, still flushed.

"What a person picks in a candystore on their first visit in a year says something about them."

Kevin handed Reese the money and smiled at her gently before turning to her grandmother and showing her what he had picked.

"Oh, well now that's a fine choice. Can't go wrong with that."

"Yeah, that's what I thought," Kevin said, backing up to the door.

"Such a splendid treat," Mrs. Martin said, waving at Kevin as he opened the candyshop door.

"I think so, too. I mean, there's no wrong way to eat a Reeses," Kevin winked before turning and leaving the candy shop with a grin.
