Blooming

by Fletcher, Peyton

  Coming to her senses slightly she asked what she needed to know, “What are we doing Todd; how far...?”

  “I’m still flying by the seat of my pants,” he admitted. “I don’t have protection on me, I know that’s ridiculous but I wasn’t sure what your reaction would be if we were in this kind of situation and I produced it. Right about now I’m feeling like a total idiot.”

  “It’s ok - I have a problem with that anyway. I hate anything rubbery or plastic, it sets my teeth on edge. I don’t want to use condoms.”

  Todd tilted her chin so he could see her face to see if she was making a joke, but no she was totally serious he could tell.

  Jen looked into his eyes; she thought if he was any tenser there’d be steam coming out of his ears. When due to his total bafflement he failed to speak, she tried to put him out of his misery.

  “I’m not trying to torture you; your mom is taking me to the doctor tomorrow. She doesn’t know the specifics but I’m going to see about birth control, and I want to have a general check up. Then I was hoping you’d accept that I haven’t got any diseases and you might want to sleep with me without condoms.”

  Todd sunk to his side and started grinning, a minute later he was almost apoplectic with laughter; he reined it in before it became too painful to continue.

  He sat up and wiped his streaming eyes, “I feel like I’m 16 again and having to negotiate for sex. Let me see what my choices are? On the one hand no sex at all because you have an irrational fear of condoms, or choice number two I get to have incredible fully naked sex with you but I might have to wait a little first.”

  He pretended to study his choices before uttering a mock groan, “I guess I’ll just have to settle for option 2 but I’ll expect you to make it worth my while when we get to it.”

  Jen had sobered slightly, “You had sex when you were 16?”

  “No the girl in question made me wait until I was 17.”

  “Kind of reminds me how backwards I am.”

  “Your backwards alright let me flip you right over.”

  Todd spun her onto her back and started yanking at the jumpsuit sleeves, “get these off for me will you?”

  When both of them together couldn’t get the chiffon to clear her cast, Todd simply tore the flimsy sleeve apart and Jen gasped,”Shit I’ve just remembered it had a button to unfasten.” It was too late she was bare-chested and Todd was on top of her, his hot mouth suckling at her breast.

  “Oh my, that feels so lovely.”

  She could not believe what Todd was doing, the fingers of her right hand were clutching into his soft hair and pulling tight in ecstasy and her left hand was thrown over her head, arching her up into his deliciously greedy mouth.

  He lifted his head and crawled up her body to kiss her open lips, she groaned as the crisp hair on his chest scratched against her nipples sending further sparks everywhere.

  His hands slid from her waist to her thighs easing her legs apart and he sank into the gap he created resting his erection along her groin, and he groaned himself.

  “Todd, Todd,” she gasped pulling her mouth away reluctantly, “what are you doing?”

  “We’re going to have sex through our clothes, something you missed from high school. That ok with you? – I already committed to paying Sean for this outfit when I obliterated the sleeve anyway.”

  She didn’t get chance to answer because at that moment he rocked his erection up into her, holding tightly to her butt and she stifled a scream. She already had a perfect idea of the size of what he was pressing into her and now she knew what it could do for her.

  Todd shifted his weight to his elbows and kissed Jen’s neck, sucking and licking at her until she thrust her hips up against him, and then he resumed stroking and squeezing her breasts.

  Encouraging her with his hands and his mouth they found a matching rhythm and both were soon breathless. Todd rocked against her harder, grinding and thrusting and minutes later, when he thought he couldn’t take anymore, he took hold of Jen’s leg and hooked it over his elbow, altering the angle of the friction and she screamed out, coming and shaking uncontrollably. He allowed himself a couple more rolling, exquisite thrusts and followed her orgasm with his own, when he finally caught his breath he simply held her there beneath him. She kissed his chest softly and he realised he was wet from her tears.

  “Hey, are you ok?”

  “I’m great; I’m really great, I just feel so stupidly happy.”

  “Me too, I’m embarrassingly soggy but happy, that was fun wasn’t it?”

  Jen nodded, afraid to speak she ran her hands along Todd’s chest twirling her fingers in the hair there and said quietly, “I can’t imagine I’ll ever get tired of touching you like this, every time I do I can’t believe I’m so lucky.”

  “Well you’re going to be a very lucky lady for as long as you’ll allow it.”

  Todd bent to her and kissed her scar, running his tongue along the raised skin then he dropped soothing kisses on both her breasts cupping them gently as if he were storing them in his memory, before helping her get her top back in place albeit minus one sleeve. He sat her up to tie the ribbon round her neck and then to cover the evidence he draped his jacket round her shoulders.

  Todd stood up plucking his trousers away from his crotch with a groan, “Yuck, I’d forgotten how this bit went, come on sit up on the seat and I’ll get us home.”

  ****

  Todd sighed as he tied the boat up at the dock, “They’re all outside playing cards, now we’ve got to do the walk of shame.”

  “Should I be ashamed of anything?” Jen smiled shyly at him and leant forward for a kiss.

  Todd kissed her back possessively, “Yes making me delirious, now cover me,” he joked.

  The two of them walked up the grass Todd sticking close behind her hoping the state of his trousers wasn’t noticeable.

  “Hey you two how was dinner?” Seb asked then his face changed when he registered their dishevelment.

  Sean looked at Jen suspiciously his trained eye attempting to calculate what was amiss about her ensemble, “what have you two been up to?”

  “Nothing,” Jen lied none too convincingly, “Todd thinks there may be a few design flaws in my outfit though.” She struggled to keep her face still as the words left her mouth.

  Marshall began to laugh when Sean started sputtering in protest.

  “We’re going to turn in, goodnight everybody,” Todd bent to kiss his mother on the cheek and she smiled knowingly at him.

  All eyes were on them as they went into their cabin, Todd let out a sigh of relief once they were safely inside.

  “Join me in the shower? Just to wash, I promise.”

  “Ok.”

  Ten minutes later with Jen’s arm bundled up in saran wrap, done a little over enthusiastically by Todd, they were taking turns with a soapy sponge. Washing each other and enjoying the simple intimacy.

  “I can’t wait until I can do everything I want to you without thinking about what’s safe or what’s allowed,” Todd admitted. He turned her round to do her back and noticed a little white mark on her back he’d not seen before, when he flipped back to her front he realised it corresponded with the scar on her chest, “Jesus it pretty much went right through you didn’t it?”

  Jen nodded, “the doctors told me I could have been killed outright.”

  Todd reached for the shampoo checking the label carefully before lathering her up.

  He couldn’t think of any reply fit to convey what he was thinking - that he might never have known her, it made his heart lurch and immobilised him for a minute.

  Jen stuck her head under the faucet and rinsed her hair, nudging Todd to get the conditioner. When they were finished they spent a long time just drying each other, patting and touching and exploring. Before things got out of hand Todd demanded he be allowed to have hair sex with her which made her laugh and lightened the mood. He was deliciously gentle while he untangled her hair, and rough drie
d it with the ancient hairdryer he’d unearthed in a cupboard.

  “Look at you,” Todd sighed indicating her reflection in the mirror, “your hair is all Julia Roberts Pretty Woman hair.”

  “Yes,” she laughed, “it’s all huge and bouffant, I told you not to dry it on high speed.”

  “I like it like this, you’re always criticising my skills woman,” he grumbled happily then turned to root in his chest of drawers and picked out a t shirt for her to sleep in.

  When she put it over her head it dropped easily to her knees and she looked completely endearing. The more time he spent with her, the more beautiful she became. That had to mean something momentous didn’t it?

  The two of them slept together that night in his king size bed, wrapped together as tight as two people could be and it felt pretty great.

  Chapter 14

  Todd woke early, glancing at the alarm clock it was only 6am, looking down he saw his arms deliciously full of Jen, her nose crooked in his armpit and her hair spilling out over his chest. He was surrounded in the smell of her, she smelled like marshmallows and cotton candy and other things that were probably pink. Actually they both did since he’d used her shower gel as well; parts of his body came fully awake in a hurry.

  He stayed put for a few minutes just enjoying her up against him, then the naughty side of him refused to be contained any longer and he decided to see how long he could play with her without disturbing her sleep.

  Gently rolling Jen off him and onto her back, he quietly scooted down her body trying not to rock the bed or disturb the covers, she sighed and shifted, licking her dry lips but remained asleep.

  Carefully he lifted his t shirt up her legs exposing her slender thighs and lower body for his pleasure, and then he gently slid her panties off and settled his head between her legs trapping her in place with his arms.

  She didn’t stir when he began to kiss her belly and thighs, soft little kisses designed solely for him and not to disturb her, his hands encompassed the cheeks of her rounded little bottom. Steeling himself not to squeeze until she decided to wake up he took his tongue and licked up the crease of her legs outside of her little landing strip, making a mental note to talk to her about that.

  When Jen still didn’t stir Todd stepped up his game, he took one firm lick right through every intimate crevice from back to front, and like an electric shock up her spine Jen was awake.

  ****

  Jen woke with a start - her first thought was where was she? Her second thought was where was Todd?

  In the next breath she became aware of strong hands encompassing her bottom, squeezing and kneading and then with a gasp she felt a hot slick sensation deep within her causing delicious rippling and flickering sensations. She craned her neck and looked down and saw a huge lump hidden under the bedspread and yep it was situated right between her legs. Her legs!

  She raised herself to her elbows breathing heavily as a strong urge to push her hips into the delicious pressure in her nether regions gripped her. The fact she couldn’t see what the hell Todd was doing, god she hoped it was Todd, only heightened the sensations. She was too turned on to laugh at the sight of his legs hanging yards off the end of the bed and then Todd released one ass cheek to allow those fingers to stroke the lips of her vagina as his tongue continued to lick and press.

  “Todd what are you doing,” she gasped.

  “I think that’s fairly obvious,” came his muffled reply, “I’m taking advantage of you, now shut up and let me get on with it.”

  Jen found herself senselessly making soft little huffing noises as Todd licked and caressed her sensitive folds alternately making little stabbing pulses to her clit. He stopped for a second, “hmm do you want me to use my fingers or my tongue?”

  There was a long pause broken only by Jen’s panting and Todd questioned, “Jen?”

  “I don’t know what the right answer is Todd.”

  “Both baby, that’s the right answer.”

  Not being able to see she had to guess that the next thing she felt was one of Todd’s long fingers sliding inside her and a long low moan passed her lips.

  “Jen pull the covers off me, you should watch this.”

  Her hand hovered not sure whether she could look and then he sighed as if he was gaining real pleasure from what he was doing and her curiosity got the better of her. She wanted to see his face, she flung the bedspread away and Todd’s face lit up.

  She had a hell of a view; Todd’s beautiful nude body, the solid weight of his hard torso pinning her to the bed made her feel incredibly exposed and wanton. His eyes flashed at her as he resumed lazily licking her insides - flickering over her clitoris, confidently stroking his finger in and out. Her eyes closed in pleasure as her hips tilted up to meet him. He pinched her butt to make her open them again, making her squeak in shock.

  “Watch,” he ordered but with tenderness in his voice.

  He forced her to keep eye contact, as he removed his fingers and curving his tongue thrust it as deep inside her core as he could reach.

  Jen’s hips flew back up involuntarily and she felt herself push against his face, sounds coming from her she was unashamed to make - wanting him to know how good he was making her feel. She didn’t know what to do with her hands, torn between grabbing the headboard and grabbing his face instead they fluttered about as if she was playing an invisible instrument.

  Her eyes roamed over him and focused on his gorgeous strong curvy bottom which was thrusting against the end of the mattress at the same time his tongue thrust inside her. She longed to drag him up and over her to put her out of her suspense but she just didn’t have the courage to do it, so she had to settle for stretching out like a cat and digging her toes into the mattress.

  Todd sensed Jen’s orgasm coming as she fell back against the bed. Arching her back and crying out, her fingers finally found their destination and thrust into his hair - her short nails painfully raking his scalp. As he felt her about to explode around his lips he pulled his tongue away and scraped his teeth over her sensitive nub smiling in triumph as she came and came endlessly against his face. He finally pressed tiny sweet kisses inside her - gentling her, soothing her, as her body continued doing little bucks and spasms.

  He’d made her cry again, “Todd,” she gasped pressing his cheek against her pelvis stroking his face, his hair; she was completely stunned by the power of her orgasm.

  “Shush, I know,” he said kissing her tummy, “that was what I’d hoped to do for you the first night but you didn’t give me a chance to put the moves on you.”

  “What can I do for you?” she asked tiredly, navy eyes dazed, as he crawled up her body and stroked his fabulous erection along her hip before kissing her deeply.

  “Nothing - I want to wait now. Until you have this appointment and know what you decide is right for you and your body, I don’t want to mess around anymore. The next time we’re together, we’re really going to be together, you hear me?” he said shaking her chin.

  “Hmm, my ears are hearing but my brain’s not registering yet, tell me again later,” she sighed as her hands slid down to caress his muscled butt, revelling in the shape and bulk of him. She stretched her limbs languorously against Todd’s - draining every bit of residual tension out of her muscles, the feeling was exquisite. Her fingers stole lower, tracing his scrotum and as she was silently thanking the stars again for all the tips she’d gleaned from soppy novels he jumped up and away from her making the sign of the cross with his fingers.

  “Back, back, devil woman, I’m going to the shower for some quality time - alone,” he stressed.

  Jen fell back against the bed, sated and happy and pulled the covers back over her before drifting back to sleep feeling warm and tingly all over, she was woken again by a soft kiss and a demand to get dressed, or she’d be late.

  The group split up for the day; seeing as the girls were setting out to Lexington, the boys were going fishing, although Sean wasn’
t really so keen he was going along to please Sebastian.

  Jen was pleasantly surprised to discover that despite being nervous about this trip to the doctor’s, she was starting to enjoy a little road trip with Bernie and Lily. They were easy company and pretty soon all three of them were discussing Todd and Marshall and moaning about men in general. Jen marvelled that Lily could speak so candidly with her mother about everything even the possibility she was developing feelings for Ben, she couldn’t help but wonder if she would ever have reached a stage she could talk to her own mom like that.

  They’d had a good relationship, but her mom was so disillusioned about love and relationships that when neither of them had had men in their lives, they’d never had cause to discuss it. Now Jen wasn’t sure whether Bernie and Lily’s frank conversation was what was considered normal or not, she was left a bit confused and embarrassed, it felt like eavesdropping on an intimate moment.

  Lily was taking the opportunity to see the ob-gyn too, she’d already been given the all clear and had thorough check-ups to make sure that the assault hadn’t given her any lasting repercussions, but the last time she’d gone she was still quite internally bruised and although she felt fine now she wanted to be sure she was back to normal.

  Lily had confided in Jen that she was intending to discuss contraception too, she was fiercely determined that what happened to her was not going to prevent her from moving on eventually and Jen was hopeful it might be with Ben, who was courting her in a rather gentle fashion.

  At the doctors Bernie offered to sit in with either of the girls if they wished but both politely refused, Jen felt mortified enough at the discussion she was going to have to have with the doctor without having company and Lily treated it like a hurdle she had to overcome on her own.

  Dr Benson was the practice’s only female doctor available and because Lily had been seeing her forever, Jen felt she couldn’t insist on having that appointment which meant she would be seeing Dr Gregg.
