Intuition

by Jennis Slaughter

  Del helped pull the fabric over her head, moaning softly when she felt Raelin’s heated skin against hers as she laid down. “I’ve missed this so much,” Del breathed as she kissed a trail down Raelin’s neck, lingering over the thundering pulse.

  Keeping her arms over her head, Raelin breathed out. “What do you need Delaney? Take whatever you want. I am yours.”

  “I don’t know,” Del said softly, “I just need to remind myself that you’re still here. That you still love me and that no one can take that away from us.”

  Moving onto her knees she let her fingers play over smooth skin up Raelin’s sides and arms until Del clasped her wife’s fingers in her own above her head. She pressed closer kissing Raelin with every amount of love and devotion she could muster.

  Moaning into Delaney’s mouth Raelin let the blonde move at her own pace but when her mouth moved to the witch’s jaw, she murmured, “No one will ever be able to keep us apart Delaney. This I swear.”

  “I’d like to see anyone try,” the blonde growled as she left a mark on Raelin’s shoulder her fingers teasing across Raelin’s skin.

  Arching up against Delaney’s touch, Raelin was barely able to keep from rolling them over and having her way with her wife, but she knew that the blonde needed to be in control. To take back what was taken from her.

  Del trailed her kisses lower, teasing over the sensitive skin of her wife’s breast, nipping along the underside before taking the peak in her mouth and suckling gently. Her hips pressed against Raelin’s as she took her time exploring her wife’s body.

  “De...Lan...Ey,” the witch growled out the blonde’s name while her nerves went on high alert. Every puff of air caress of a warm tongue or touch of a finger sent the woman rocketing towards her release.

  Reluctantly leaving her place, Del moved lower, pausing when she came across the scar on Raelin’s right side. She ran her fingers lightly over the marred skin her lips following as she continued her journey lower. She settled comfortably between her wife’s thighs her fingers teasing over the now damp skin of Raelin’s thighs, her mouth nipping and kissing a hot path over Raelin’s tummy.

  Unable to resist rolling her hips, Raelin fisted one hand in the sheets while the other pressed down against a golden head, directing Delaney right where she wanted her. So much for letting the blonde be in control.

  “Such impatience,” Del breathed, dropping lower and finally arriving at her destination. She kissed and nibbled for a bit, teasing before running her tongue over Raelin’s clit in earnest.

  “Immm...Patience? Two days of teasing...frustration,” Raelin stuttered out.

  “My poor Witchy Woman.” One hand snuck up to tease the skin of Raelin’s right breast while her other teased the silken heat at the apex of Raelin’s thighs. “Let me see if I can help you hmm?” Going back to her work, Del let her tongue tease pliant flesh as she sunk two fingers deep into waiting heat.

  Rolling her hips and wrapping her legs around Delaney’s head, the brunette tried to bring more of her wife into herself. She needed the fullness that only the blonde could give her. “Please...Del...”

  Giving her witch what she wanted, she slowly withdrew her fingers adding another as she thrust carefully back in. Delaney twisted her fingers, curling them as she licked firmly at Raelin’s clit, her own need building as she heard the sounds coming out of her wife’s mouth.

  Brining up her arm to muffle her cries, Raelin’s body began to shatter into millions of pieces that only Delaney could put back together. “Del...stop for a moment please...” she couldn’t understand what she was doing, but just knew that this is how she wanted it. “Don’t pull out, but get up here and lie on your back...Now.”

  Looking up with a questioning look on her face, Del saw the fire in her witch’s eyes and did as she was told, crawling up Raelin’s body, kissing the damp skin the whole way. She kept her hand right where it was, occasionally curling her fingers and delighting in the ticks and spasms it caused. Finally finishing her journey with a deep kiss to Raelin’s lips, she rolled to her back and looked at her wife expectantly, curious to where the brunette was going with this.

  As Delaney rolled to her back, Raelin positioned herself so that she could ride the blonde’s fingers, controlling the depth and speed. Bracing her hands on either side of Delaney’s head, the witch began to rock back and forth against her wife’s hand. Throwing her head back, she drew in air and let out a moan that seemed to come from the core of her being. The faster that she rocked, the wetter her center became so when Delaney slid in finger number four, all Raelin did was push back harder. Sweat dripped off both of their bodies as the brunette worked herself up to a peak, but refused to let herself tumble over. “You control me Delaney...you have my heart and my love literally in your hand...Give me what you want,” Raelin growled.

  Del had never seen anything as hot in her life as Raelin looked in that moment, rocking, and panting above her. Her free hand reached up and clutched at Raelin’s waist, driving her harder, their movement and momentum causing Del’s hand to press deliciously into her own aching heat. “I want you to let go,” she panted, curling her fingers and letting her thumb swipe across Raelin’s clit.

  Bring up a fist, Raelin bit it to keep from screaming her release, instead her entire body tightened around Delaney’s fingers before it started spasming almost uncontrollably. She looked down at her wife’s face and was astonished that the blonde seemed to glow.

  Del moaned as she felt Raelin fall apart above her, feeling every tick and spasm. She kept her pace, working Raelin harder as she watched, not at all surprised that Raelin nearly glowed above her. “You look so hot up there.” She grinned, her thumb still stroking Raelin’s clit gently.

  Throwing back her head as another release shuddered through her, Raelin then lowered her head and opened her eyes, showing Delaney their honey coloring. “I want all of you.”

  “You already have all of me Darlin’, you just need to go ahead and take it,” she growled, the hand clutching Raelin’s waist, reaching up to tangle in dark locks.

  Reaching down between her legs, Raelin tucked Delaney’s thumb into her palm and with a few more thrusts, she was surrounding her wife’s hand, feeling complete and utterly filled.

  “Oh Jesus,” Del breathed at the sensation, her darkened eyes locking with Raelin’s lighter shade. She kept her hand in Raelin’s hair, clutching tightly as she urged Raelin on, trying her best to not to hurt her despite the intense pace they had set. Her own need was running molten through her veins and she felt Raelin’s intense emotions on top of it, stoking the want into a near unbearable ache.

  Carefully reaching down, the brunette let her middle finger flick against Delaney’s clit before rubbing it in time with her thrusts. She grinned as the blonde’s eyes went wide and she hissed her approval.

  Del’s hips jerked as Raelin played with her, and she opened her mouth in a silent groan, unable to get the noise out around her desperate attempts to supply her lungs with air. Using the hand tangled tightly in Raelin’s hair she drew the witch down for a short but heated kiss, releasing her and locking gazes once more. She felt herself teetering on the edge, the image of Raelin above her combined with days of tension and teasing adding up to make her whole body quake in anticipation.

  Carefully curling her fingers, the panting witch grinned as her fingertips found the spot that drove the blonde over the edge and pressed against it. Her own breath was becoming harder to pull in, but the pure unadulterated love that they were sharing was giving her so much energy that she did not know if she could handle it all.

  Del crashed over with an intensity she wasn’t sure she’d ever experienced before. She struggled not to knock Raelin from her perch as her body shook and her fingers curled as she threw her head back, biting the back of her hand to muffle her cries.

  Reaching down, Raelin held onto her wife’s wrist as she slowly pulled it out of her still pulsating center, gasping as another orgasm shuddered through
her body. Finally, she was able to collapse next to the blonde, panting and covered in sweat.

  Lying there on her back as she tried to recover and catch her breath, Del was still seeing stars. “Wow,” she breathed.

  “Ditto,” was all that Raelin could say.

  Del stayed that way a few minutes longer, listening to the uneven cadence of Raelin’s breathing, taking in the distinct scent of their lovemaking, feeling the lingering effects of her release and sensing Raelin’s love rolling over her. Before she really knew what was happening a choked sob escaped her throat, taking her by surprise.

  Immediately Raelin gathered her wife into her embrace, and lay with her arms wrapped around her, kissing her forehead. “Let it all out Darlin’.”

  Curling into Raelin’s front, Del stopped trying to hold it in and let the tears fall, her whole body shaking with the force of her sobs as she cried. She let out the anger, frustration, and helplessness, knowing that she was safe with Raelin.

  The witch let her wife cry it all out, holding her tenderly as the sobs racked her body. All she could do was to push her love and acceptance through their link, letting Delaney know that she was always safe in her arms.

  Eventually Del cried herself out, and managed to get herself back together. “I’m sorry about that, we were having such a nice moment,” she chuckled weakly, still clutching tightly to Raelin’s frame.

  “It still was a nice moment. There is nothing wrong in finding different releases.” Letting her finger brush away golden hair from Delaney’s face, Raelin smiled.

  “You just…I mean. I felt you lying there like that. I could feel everything, your love, devotion trust and I think it just overwhelmed me. I was so scared in that hotel room when Tia said those words and the second you looked at me. I was so ready to see disappointment in your eyes but it wasn’t there. You’ve been so good to me all night and I don’t even know what I’m trying to say anymore,” she rambled, unable to voice her thoughts like she wanted. Her fingers traced over the smooth skin of Raelin’s neck before moving down her jaw and resting on her wife’s chin

  “I love you too.” Raelin just let her love soothe any remaining rough edges of doubt that Delaney had, and smiled at her. “Do you feel better?”

  The blonde took stock still for a moment and realized she did. “Yeah I do. I needed you so badly, and not just because we’ve been teasing the hell out of each other. I just needed to be close to you, more than anything. What about you? You hardly had a good night yourself.”

  Raelin chuckled. “I’m perfect. I just made love to the most amazing woman that I have ever met, had an earth shattering orgasm, and am in love. The only think that would make it better would be a hot shower and some clean sheets.”

  Del smiled, even as her cheeks flushed with a light blush. “I’m not sure about the first bits, you might be a bit biased, but the last of that I think we can arrange.”

  Together they eventually got the sheets changed and took a quick shower, luxuriating in this seemingly normal occurrence. They both knew that the next day was not going to be fun, so they took advantage of this quiet time together taking comfort in each other’s presence. Del finally slid into bed, still unclothed, and held the sheet up for her wife. “Hey pretty lady, care to join me?”

  “I think that I’m going to get something on. Ariel is bound to join us in the morning, and I prefer that she not see all of me.” Raelin smirked. “I will however, join you in bed in just a moment.”

  “Oh yeah, she’s been so quiet I forgot she was here,” she looked to the monitor that was sitting on the nightstand. “Can you bring me a t-shirt when you come over?”

  Pulling on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, Raelin grabbed the same for her wife and joined her in bed. “When I was up here earlier, I made sure that she would sleep through the night. It’s nothing that I like to do regularly, but I needed your touch tonight, and I didn’t want to be interrupted.”

  “So that’s why she hasn’t stirred all night. Sneaky, but like you said, please don’t make a habit of knocking out our four year old every night.” Del chuckled as she pulled the t-shirt over her head.

  “I didn’t knock her out cold; I merely suggested that she sleep through the night.” Crawling between the sheets, Raelin got ready to snuggle up to her wife.

  Del settled into the bed, holding her arms out so that Raelin could cuddle up to her. “Tomorrow isn’t going to be easy, but I’m glad you’ll be right there with me.”

  “If I could take your place, I would, but you will never have to go through anything without me by your side Delaney.” Raelin pressed a gentle kiss against silky lips to seal the promise.

  “I love you. We’ll get to the bottom of this, and then I’m going to take you away to some beautiful place away from everything. For just a little while.” Del smiled, returning the kiss and pulling Raelin closer.

  “Deal,” Raelin agreed and then she couldn’t stop a yawn as it forced its way out. “I think you wore me out.”

  “I wore you out? Darlin’, you did most of the work.” Del chuckled then whispered into Raelin’s ear, “It was the most gorgeous sight I’d ever seen.”

  Sighing, all the witch could do was to settle against her wife and go to sleep.

  ~ Chapter 14 ~

  Ariel scrunched her nose as she came awake and she blinked her eyes open when she heard little squeaking noises. She sat up clutching Dudley close to her chest as she felt fear and confusion. Not knowing what or who it was she decided to go to the safest place she knew her auntie’s room. She scampered around the bed rails and cautiously peeked her head out around her door. Not seeing anything in the hallway she quickly padded to the door to Delaney and Raelin’s room and rose to her tiptoes to turn the knob.

  “Aunty Rae, Aunt Delly! There is squeaking and I feels scareds, but I wasn’t havings a bad dream or anything,” she whispered loudly as she peered up over the bed on Del’s side.

  Blinking her eyes open at the small voice next to her, Del looked over and saw Ariel standing next to her, clutching both her dragon, and blankie tight. Holding the covers up, she motioned for Ariel to join them. “What did you say you were hearing baby?”

  “Squeaking, lots of it, oh and I feels scared, but I not afraid,” she repeated as she crawled under the covers between Delaney and Raelin.

  Raising up her head, Raelin listened intently to her home. She knew every creak and groan that the old house made. “Hmm, I think I know what you’re hearing.” Looking over the little girl’s head, she stared at her wife and thought. “Congrats grandma...there be kittens.”

  “Should I go down and check on them?” she thought back with concern.

  “No, if there had been a problem, I’m sure that Rori would have alerted us...However, he did say last night that Tasha wasn’t letting him anywhere near. Maybe you should.” She wrapped her arms around Ariel and started lightly scratching her back, hoping that she might drift back to sleep.

  “What abouts the scary when I’m not scareds?” Ariel asked around a yawn.

  Del chuckled at the little girl and pressed a loving kiss to the back of her head.

  “Tell me what kind of scary that you’re hearing Sweetie. Can you explain it to me?” the witch gently asked.

  “It’s likes when you closed your eyes and you can’t sees and try to walkies around. You is scared cause you can’t sees.”

  Raelin looked at her wife and arched an eyebrow. “You might wanna go ahead and see how many and if Tasha needs anything.”

  “I’m going, I’m going.” Del huffed jokingly as she clambered out of the bed and headed for the door, pausing before she went through it. “I’ll be back in a bit.”

  Raelin smiled at her wife and blew her a kiss before turning her attention to the little girl. “You slept in your bed the whole night. You are becoming a big girl.”

  The little girl beamed with pride at her Aunt’s words. “I sleeps in my beds lots when I is home. Delly doesn’t visit me much any mores, so I
sleeps with hers when she stays.”

  “Oh, is that it. Aunt Delly’s special, huh?”

  “Yeps, and you too! I wish you lived closers to me and Mommy and Daddy.” Ariel giggled. “Then we could sees each others all the times.” She giggled again, playing with the ends of Raelin’s hair.

  “Well, you can come visit us any time that you want, Sweet Pea. So, I want to ask you something about the no talkies. Okay?” Raelin watched her face.

  Sensing the seriousness in Raelin’s tone, the little girl looked back at her intently. “Okays.”

  “You suck on your thumb so you don’t hear the people right? Do you think that we could try something else instead?” The brunette smiled at the now serious little girl.

  “Yes. Big girls don’t suck thumbs, right?”

  “That’s right.” Raelin held up her hand and crossed her fingers. “Can you do this?”

  Nodding, the toddler did the same. “Daddy does it sometimes. He says it’s for lucks. He taught me too.”

  “Very good, I’m glad. So maybe the next time you hear someone no talkies and you’re not supposed to, you try crossing you fingers for luck and you won’t hear them anymore. Okay?”

  “I tries. What’s about my purple wall? Should I do that’s too?” she asked, curling against Raelin’s front and yawning.

  Raelin bit her lip to keep from laughing. “It’s purple today huh? You can do the wall too if you need some extra help. I wonder what’s taking Aunt Delly so long,” she concentrated to her wife, hoping that they could still hear each other’s thoughts in the house. “How many did she have?”

  “Four perfect little ones. All healthy and Tasha is just fine, tired but fine. She’s also allowing Rori near her again, so I’d say they are doing okay. I’ll be right up.” Del thought back as she smiled at the little family and the mewling kittens.

  “We have a little bit more time before we have to get up, so do you want to stay in here with Aunt Delly and me, or go back to your room?” Raelin asked the question, even though she already knew the answer.
