Her sobs tore at my heart, and a whole new set of emotions rushed through me with an implacable force. It was stronger than anything I had ever experienced, and I finally understood. I tightened my arms around her, stopping her.
“All I have ever desired has been her.”
I repeated, needing to hear the truth for myself. Lia's tears fell on my arms as I held her, and my eyes closed while I rested my forehead on her hair.
"Please listen," I begged as she tried to get away from me once more. “Then you made me hold you in my arms, and care for you. I woke up in the middle of the night to your screams, and all I wanted was to stop your tears. Your terrors became mine, and I made it my mission to slay the monsters that chased your smile away. I wanted to save you from the nightmares, and be there for you, always. You made me want to be your shield. Protect you from anything that could ever make you cry. Suddenly, my time was spent with you instead of her, and everything I could think about was making sure you were safe, with me.”
My arms loosened around Lia, and my hands began to caress her arms until they reached her shoulders. Slowly, I turned her around and focused on her.
“Why are you doing this to me, Art?” She whispered, her lips trembled as the tears fell fluently down her skin.
“Because you need to hear this, and I need to say it.” I gently wiped her cheeks with my thumbs, and looked into her eyes. “You came into my life, reached into my chest, and ripped her out. You took her from me.”
She pushed my hand away from her cheek. “And now you hate me for it? Is that it?”
I shook my head, letting the feeling consume me, and cradled her cheeks again. I smiled as my eyes glistened with the emotion running through me. "No, and now I love you, Lia."
The last tear fell from her eyes as she gasped. “What?”
"I love you, Lia. The love that has exploded inside me, consuming me whole is yours. I have never felt this before, but I feel it for you. You are the only one that even knows who I truly am, and the only one I ever wanted to share myself with. I realized now that you are everything I have ever needed. The one I didn't even know could exist. I'm sorry it has taken me this long to see it. I don't want to be blind anymore."
Her eyes searched mine, incredulous. “Chewie?” Lia whispered, her lips trembling.
I smiled. "You belong to me, and before you tell me that you are a woman and not a possession, please let me explain." She smiled as another tear fell. "You are mine to protect, to love and to make sure that every smile that grazes your lips from today until the end of your life is there because of me. You are more than the love I have longed for, Lia. You are my mission. My purpose. You are the reason I was put on this earth. To love you, make you happy and give myself to you for the rest of my life. Everything I have been through has prepared me for this. To be the man you deserve. I love you."
I brought her face to mine and claimed her lips like they were the only hope to finally relieve the need in me. They were. Her arms wrapped around my neck and I held her tightly against me as our lips moved desperately on the other. With each stroke of our skin of our tongues danced together, and the quiet desperation that had lived inside me for two thousand years disappeared. Leaving only her love.
She suddenly pushed me off her, and I looked at her panting. Lia smiled pressing me to the wall then jumped on me claiming my lips again. I chuckled in her mouth as her legs wrapped around my waist. My hands roamed her back lifting the edge of her blouse. It fell to the floor the next second. Her breasts pressed against my chest as I devoured her lips, eliciting all kind of reactions from my body. I needed her to calm this devastating need that grew with each stroke of her lips on mine.
“Make love to me, Chewie.” She moaned in my mouth. “Make me yours once and for all.”
“Fuck, Lia.” The throbbing began with her words. I was ready to love her, in more ways than one. I pushed off the wall taking her to my bed.
“You are mine,” I whispered on her lips as I laid her on the mattress.
“I’ve always wanted to be yours. Every moment I was in your arms.”
She reached the front closure of her bra and opened it. Her breasts fell exquisitely on her chest, and I groaned as she reached for me. Her hand slid into my jeans, and she held me. I moaned on her skin as my lips created a trail down her neck, her touch was everything. I guided her pants down her body, and her hips rose from the bed giving me access. Her thong fell to the floor while she unbuttoned my jeans, and pulled them down, releasing me to her. Lia's arms wrapped around my neck again, and she arched her back pressing herself to me.
"Fuck, Lia. I want you," I said sliding my fingers through her hair and pulling until her neck was completely arched back. I closed my lips around her neck and began to kiss it, sucking her skin.
“Yes!” Lia moaned pressing her hips to my lap.
The hardness of me pushed against her delicate skin, perfectly nestling me like she had done that day. The day I almost made her mine. The memories returned, arousing me even more. Lia’s sensitive skin was pure bliss as I pushed my hips forwards, sliding against her sleek skin. She moaned. I cursed under my breath. I needed to be inside her before I lost all control.
"Lia…" I gasped her name, as she held me in her hands and began stroking me. My lips closed over her nipple, devouring her breasts. I loved every inch of them.
"Chewie..." She moaned, and her hands left me lifting her breasts and feeding them to me. She traced the outline of my mouth with one of her thick tips, and I jerked for her. I needed her.
“I love your breasts.” My lips claimed her nipples as she pressed them together for me, and moaned.
“I need you inside me, Chewie, please.”
Fuck, when she called me that…
My hand slipped between our bodies touching her delicate skin. My stomach dipped. My fingers slid up, reaching the most sensitive part of her, it was swollen, and I could feel it pulsing under my fingertips. It called to me.
“Lia… Fuck! You are so wet.”
My finger smoothly slid inside her, and a ragged moan escaped her lips. It shattered my world. I could feel how tight she was and it was destroying me. I wasn't sure she could receive me. I moved my finger out of her and claimed her lips again. My arms brought her tightly against my body, but before I could move Lia got hold of me and placed me at her entrance. The heat of her skin instantly enveloped my head as she pushed me inside. Something snapped in me. I thrust my hips forwards, fully driving into her.
“Chewie!” Lia, half gasped half screamed, tensing under me and clinging to me. Her nails plunged into my shoulders slicing my skin.
I couldn’t move.
I buried my face in her neck as my heart burst inside me. I was panting against her skin and completely frozen in place. Every inch of me was inside Lia, and I could feel my head pushing harshly against the end of her. Still, I couldn't move. Her walls were gripping me so fucking tightly, that I lost all sense of reason.
Fuck. Had I hurt Lia? I took long breaths trying to focus on her. I could feel Lia’s body trembling under mine. Forcing myself to regain control, I began to slide out of her, but her hands gripped my ass stopping me.
“No. Don’t go, Chewie. Stay inside me, please.”
"I'm sorry," I said taking a deep breath, and looking into Lia’s eyes. "I know I hurt you, but I didn't mean to. Once I felt you, I just couldn't hold back. I'm so sorry."
"It's ok." Lia kissed my lips softly. "I want you like this. I need all of you inside me, Art. I never want you to hold back with me. Give me every ounce of passion, every drop of need, and all the love you feel inside you. You are mine, and I'm yours, that means giving everything to each other. No holding back, I was made for you remember? Your love could never hurt me."
“I love you,” I whispered, breathing harshly against Lia’s lips.
She kissed me, and her hands moved caressing my back, while I slid inside her once again. Her eyes closed and her head tilted back. Lia moaned. My
body shook with the effort it took not to drive into her again.
“Hey.”
Lia whispered breathlessly, and cupped my cheeks, forcing me to look at her. Her eyes were glazed over with pure desire as I gazed into them. Seeing the way she wanted me made me jerk inside her. She moaned and tried to focus on my eyes again.
“I’ve never needed anyone like this, Lia. I’m afraid to hurt you.”
“You won’t hurt me. Promise me, Chewie. No holding back.” I nodded still afraid to let go. “I’m yours, Art. Completely, irrationally, and unapologetically yours. Now claim me.”
Fuck, I loved this woman. "No holding back," I whispered, and claimed her lips again.
Her hands held me to her as my hips began to rock into her. I closed my eyes and arched my neck back, as her lips began to suck my skin just like I had hers. Shit. Everything she did drove me with in an inch of insanity. Lia's hands held my ass squeezing it as I thrust into her again and again. I could feel myself pushing firmly against the end of her, stretching her with each stroke, but she didn't seem to mind. Her sensual moans every time I did were encouraging.
My body curled around her, sliding on her skin as I loved her. I was beside myself. Being with someone had never felt like this. No one had ever felt like her. Being inside Lia felt like I had finally returned home. I never wanted to feel anything else, just Lia holding me to her and caressing my skin while we became one. With each movement, Lia's moans became louder and more powerful. The sounds she made as I made her mine were driving me wild. She licked my neck, biting it, and her lips kissed my shoulder. I pushed my hips harder into her, moaning on her neck as I sucked it again.
“Yes, Chewie! I need more. Give me more.”
Whatever form of restraint I might have left disappeared with Lia's words. My body instantly responded to her command. I wrapped my arm around her waist, holding her to me as I began to move into her harder than before. Her skin contracted around me so perfectly with every move. The way she stroked me was mind numbing. I wanted to feel her fall apart on me.
“Faster, Chewie!”
“Fuck, Lia.”
The rhythm of my thrusts increased as she held my head fiercely to her neck, not wanting my lips to leave her skin. She didn’t’ need to ask twice. I couldn’t stop sucking on her even if I wanted to. My lips sucked her deeply, feeling my tip push against her with every move, making me want to explode inside her. True to my promise I didn't hold anything back. Our hips came together and the sounds of our bodies meeting each other filled the air around us. I gave every ounce of myself to Lia. Her thighs began to tremble around me, and I claimed her lips, stroking her even faster as she tightened harshly around me, nearing the edge. The volume of her voice rose as the desperate moans left her lips, calling my name.
"Yes, Lia. Yes, Baby. Fall for me."
She gripped my shoulders again and screamed as she fell off the edge. I didn't stop. I couldn't. My movements became erratic as I neared my release. Lia's back arched into me while her body shook in my arms, and the waves of pleasure rushed through her. Her face was pure ecstasy and the more glorious sight I had ever seen. Her swollen nipples rubbed against my chest adding to the sensations. I gripped her breast, massaging it firmly as her loud moans echoed in the air around us. She dragged my mouth from her neck and bit my bottom lip, sucking it just as the electrifying surge of pleasure traveled down my spine and into my gut.
“Lia!”
I moaned into her mouth kissing her and falling apart inside her. She clung to me as tightly as she could manage while the mind numbing pleasure rolled over me. My body jerked over and over against her, unable to stop. Lia kissed me again releasing all her passion into the kiss until I was able to regain my bearings. We were panting. I had never felt that kind of release before. I rolled our bodies until I was on my back, and cradled Lia against my chest. A feeling of absolute peace rushed through me, filling every corner of my being. I had never felt this light before and I wondered if Lia felt the same.
“I love you.”
I whispered lifting her lips to mine and kissed her again, not daring to move out of her. I didn't want the feeling to disappear. I fixed her body until she was fully on top of me, flushed to my skin, without an ounce of air between us. Cradling her cheeks in my hands, I looked into her gorgeous golden honey eyes. They were dazed and filled with pleasure. The sight made me want to love her all over again. I kissed her while my hips began to rock into her. Making love to her once more, slowly.
“I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want you, Lia. Never with passion or this desperate, irrational need. I love you.”
“I love you, Art.”
I claimed Lia's lips, thrusting into her deliciously slow. My strokes were long, deep, and matched her sensual moans. I wanted to love her in every way possible, and memorize every part of her body. I was hers, she was finally mine, and I never wanted to be anywhere else but here, with her, in my arms.
The sunlight warmed my cheek as it shone through the window. The morning had found Lia’s naked body in my arms, the way it was always meant to be.
I smiled with my eyes still closed, as the softness of her bare skin rested against mine. The feeling was pure ecstasy. Her lips left soft kisses on my chest, and I was sure at that moment, that no one on this earth had ever felt as complete as I felt right now. She belonged with me. Right here, just like this.
Lia sucked my nipple and my breath caught in my chest. Fuck. Her tongue whirled around it and her teeth grazed it, pulling it slowly then letting it go. I instantly hardened. Shit, she was sexy.
"You are mine," I whispered taking action, and turning our bodies so I lay on top of her. I claimed her lips, feeling her legs tightened around my waist. I smiled making a trail down her neck, and she whimpered. When I opened my eyes, I chuckled seeing the purple shadow of my lips on her tender skin. "I guess I got a little excited last night." I gently kissed the spot on her neck, and she moaned.
“Are you sure you are not a sexy vampire, Chewie?” I chuckled, licking her shoulder as I made my way down to her breasts. “I love how you suck my neck. I’ll wear my hickey proud, don’t you worry your pretty little head about it. Just keep loving me the way you did last night.”
“Mmmm," I hummed reaching her nipple. "Your wish is my command." I licked her nipple gently. It was swollen from my attention last night. She moaned while I sucked it, caressing it with my tongue. I loved her nipples. I could enjoy them all night long. "I'll never get enough of your breasts, Lia."
“They are yours,” she whimpered, as I bit the swollen tip, lightly pulling it. She moaned louder.
"Fuck, Lia. Your moans drive me crazy. The way you cried out my name last night, and the sounds you made while I made love to you almost torn me apart.”
I opened my eyes and looked at her face. She had the most beautiful look of pleasure I had ever seen.
“I’ll always moan for you, Chewie. As long as you never hold back, and love me with all the passion inside you.”
“No holding back,” I whispered, sliding fully and effortlessly inside her.
I moaned in Lia’s mouth as she gripped me tightly and looked at her again, not wanting to miss her expression while I loved her. My hips stopped, when I caught a glint of blue light from the corner of my eye. My gaze moved to the wall, searching for the source. It came again and I frowned, noticing the shimmering blue ripples flow over the stone wall.
“What the hell?” Lia asked, noticing the same thing I had.
Reluctantly, I slid out of her and put my jeans on, cringing when it repressed me inside them. I fixed myself and walked to the door opening it.
“What the hell are you doing?”
I asked, when I found Cyn with both hands placed on the wall, his eyes closed. He opened one eye and smirked at me.
“I’m placing a sound blocking spell on your hut. I got a few complaints about loud noises in the middle of the night. I take it that you and Lia finally realized you belonged to each
other?”
He faced me, taking his hands off the wall, and chuckled as I looked at him shocked.
“You knew?”
He shrugged. “I always know. I can feel everyone’s essence, brother. Both your essences feel the same to me. Two halves of one coin.” He winked. “You are all set. Enjoy yourselves.” Turning around, he began to walk away.
“Hey, wait a minute.” I called jogging towards him. “Who complained?”
He laughed, and hugged me. “I’m pleased you are finally happy, brother.” Cyn pulled away and smirked, nodding towards my hut. “By the sounds of it, I’m not the only one.” I laughed. Lia would die if she knew Cyn heard her moaning. He cradled my cheek, his eyes filled with emotion. “Take care of her.”
I nodded, smiling. “Always.”
CHAPTER 15. REVELATIONS
LIA
* * *
Day 147, together…
A lazy smile graced my lips as Art decadently kissed my neck. My eyelids reluctantly opened and found darkness still surrounded us.
It was the middle of the night, yet Art couldn't help himself from loving me. It had been this way since he confessed his love for me, and turned my nightmares into a dream. I knew this was a dream because he couldn't be real. Everything about Art was perfect. The way he laughed, the way he always made sure to be there for the people around him, his protective nature and even the way he loved me. We hadn't gotten out of bed for the first three days. I had barely even eaten, and that was saying a lot when it came to me, but he was the only thing I craved. I had never known pleasure as I did with him… Or love.
He was mine.
Art was finally mine, and hell must have frozen over because I became his. For the first time in my life, I actually understood what it meant to belong to someone. I was his, body and soul, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
His lips formed a circle as he sucked my neck. Holy hot tamales, I loved when he did that. Chewie should be a sin. I moaned turning on to my back, to give him access to every single inch of me. Who needed sleep when they had a hunk like Chewie in their bed? I didn't care what he did to me as long as he touched me. He was that good. I swore he could give me an orgasm, just from the way he looked at me when he wanted me.
