How on earth was she going to survive in here, so close to him every day and night. This was worse than the house of misfits next door in a way. This time the problem was much more massive. It was incredibly personal and all hers…
“So, do I get a welcome kiss?” she asked hopefully with a sweet smile. “Just a little teeny tiny one?”
“No babe. You most definitely do not!” he said slapping her backside lightly.
She settled in well in her new room during the course of the following week. She read her book, caught up on her emails and made herself food whenever she liked. It was a joy not to have to worry about anything. No noise, no daily mess to clean up in the kitchen or bathroom, no threat of pervs or girly action. Seb kept himself to himself most of the time, studying with the door shut. They had a couple of short walks through the wood together and some funny conversations about life. Her life mostly. But she did get him talking about himself and his family for a while. What a secretive person he was! What on earth was he hiding….?
She avoided talking about the Great Wall of China that stood between them.
That was obviously a no go area.
Chapter 14
Seb was returning home from FC after his penultimate exam. It had gone well, in his opinion. He was on the finishing straights now. His mind felt lighter now that the moon was past its critical point for him. He was almost in complete control again. He breathed a sigh of relief. He hated these involuntarily periods when the moon phases made him weak. Any time he got excited or even had a stirring dream it could happen. It had been very awkward. He had had to lock his door, just in case she came in on it and he kept the radio on just in case he made any sudden animal like noises.
It had happened frequently the first few days after she first moved in. He thought about her all the time. He was fucking obsessed! Now he had experienced a little of her it didn’t take much for the excitement and heat to build up and it was like flicking on a switch. It came, it went… it came, it went. He didn’t bother to try and stop it. He reserved that effort for times when he was actually with her. He didn’t know what state he was in most of the time those first two days. He had been in a rampant fever over her. He had kept himself to himself out of necessity.
Thank God he had calmed down now, it had been a real strain.
He walked up the path and opened the door to find Laura with wet hair wearing her short silky dressing gown and talking to a smooth very good looking grey suited guy in their kitchen. He knew who this was without any introduction. What was going on … she wasn’t going back with him, was she? He couldn’t let that happen. She was his now. The realisation hit him like a ten ton truck.
“Oh Seb… This is Simon. He was just leaving. Weren’t you Si?” Laura said politely but firmly.
“But Laura, I just got here….” Simon protested. “and who the fuck is this Seb you are shacked up with….” He gave Seb a killer look.
What exactly did he want? Seb thought. More to the point…. How did he know she was here at all?
Laura opened the door and Simon went out and turned towards her, his hands braced on the door frame.
“I want you back. I need you so much.” Simon said softly. Seb’s ears focused in to catch the conversation. “You don’t know the hell I’ve been through since you left just like that. I was determined to find you again. It was a stupid fucking mistake to do that with Kelly. She means nothing at all to me. Nothing. I am so sorry you had to see that Laura. It will never, ever happen again. Please come back with me now. You are breaking my heart babe. I love you. You know I do.”
“Simon no! It’s over. I’m not sure I can ever forgive you. And believe me it’s not over just because you had sex in our bed with my best friend. You weren’t there for me when I needed you. My mother died for fuck’s sake… and you couldn’t even come to the funeral… Never even once visited her in hospital… All that stuff hurts even more. You have let me down big time Simon. Look, I’ll call you in a few days and we’ll speak then, okay? Just go now. You are making things worse for us both. Just go. Please.”
He turned and left and she shut the door leaning her face against it. Her body shook with pent up emotion. Tears sprung into her eyes as she sobbed her heart out over him yet again. He wasn’t worth anywhere near this many tears, she thought to herself. Seb came up behind her. He rubbed her arms softly and squeezed her shoulders gently.
“No Seb. Leave me alone.” She snuffled turning to face him. She wiped her runny nose and reddened eyes with her hand. She pushed him out of the way gently and walked off to her room closing the door quietly. She didn’t want his sympathy, in fact she didn’t want anything, from anyone. Everyone had their own agenda. She didn’t know what Seb’s was yet, but she didn’t think she would be any part of it. She was sure that was why she was being held firmly at arm’s length.
He stood at her door listening. She was still crying. Not hysterically but gentle sobs. He went to the kitchen to make them some coffee. It was a simple gesture but he wanted to be nice to her. Friendly and very nice. He tucked some tissues in his pocket and opened her door with the two mugs in his hand. She was lying on the bed face down. Her damp hair was a loose mess across her shoulders.
“Go away Seb. Not now.” She said quietly. He walked to her side.
“I’ve bought you some coffee and thought you might need one of these.” He offered her a tissue.
“Thanks… but my pillow is already soggy. Might as well use that.”
“Laura. He’s not worth all this….”
“I know, but all the time I wasted on him when I should have been with my mom…. It hurts. He just reminds me of her…. you know, but not in a good way. She liked him Seb. She even encouraged me to move in with him.”
“Laura, come here. I want to give you a friendly hug. I don’t like seeing you so down.”
She stood up and leant into his arms. She wrapped herself around him tightly, her head on his chest breathing in his wonderful scent…. There it was again… that smoky animal mixture… she couldn’t get over his delicious exotic fragrance … She sighed. So did he.
She put her lips to the side of his neck and placed a small kiss there.
“Thanks very much for my hug.”
She tried to move out of his arms but he held on to her tightly.
“I’m not finished hugging you yet.” he added in a whisper.
“Oh, okay then.” She moved back to his chest tucking her face into his neck with another sigh. It was heaven being in his arms. She couldn’t think of a better place to be. Simon had evaporated from her head completely. The same red hot longing and painful desire was churning away in her brain as he rubbed her back softly up and down. Unrequited feelings like this were hard to bear for so long. Still, being held was wonderful. Even if it never went any further. She was getting some much needed contact with him. He had been so distant since their trip.
“My Laura…” He said stroking her hair.
“My Seb…” She said squeezing him tightly. “You’re my best friend in the whole wide world.” If she couldn’t have any more, best friend would have to do.
“Look at me.” He whispered.
She looked up into those green eyes. Her heart was beating out of control. She was sure he knew precisely the effect he had on her.
“No… not your best friend. More than that.”
“How much more?” she murmured breathing heavily, expectantly…
He didn’t say anything. He didn’t need to, it was all coming out now.
He pushed her back towards the wall… until she was leaning against it. He placed his hands on the wall, either side of her head. His eyes bored into hers for a few moments. His head came closer. He was breathing hard. She was breathing harder. His mouth found hers gently. She daren’t move. Didn’t want to break the spell. He could stop at any moment and leave her again. One hand moved behind her head pressing her face to his. The other wrapped around her waist. They were just about as close as t
hey could get with clothes on. He was brushing his lips back and forth over hers, barely touching. She tried hard to remain still but just couldn’t help herself and started to respond. She moved her hands underneath his t-shirt feeling the way up through his soft hair on his stomach and chest and down again. It was almost like torture. How far was he going to go this time before he bolted?
“Stop that… don’t rush me. I want to take a long time doing this.” He whispered against her mouth.
“A long time kissing me?” she asked in a state of pure bliss. He was planning on taking a long time… that was very good news… no imminent leaving then….
“A very long time kissing you. Then an even longer time doing what comes next.”
She prayed he really meant it this time.
His mouth started to work on hers. Never before had she experienced anything like this acute building of sensation on her mouth alone. He was soft then hard and fast then slow…. He knew how to use his tongue to licking perfection. He was so very good at this. If he did nothing more than kiss her forever, she might even be happy with that.
Her hands reached into his long soft hair. She couldn’t keep out of it. She trailed her fingers down to his neck and around the back of his ears. Something seemed to shift in him and he suddenly began to move a little more. His head dropped down to kiss her neck… her hair stood on end with heated anticipation. As he was doing that he slowly untied her robe and his hands moved inside and around her back. He undid her bra and pushed her back again, against the wall. His green eyes were glowing. She was feeling almost faint and her eyes were half closed. His hands ran up her sides and covered her breasts. He started rubbing his thumbs in soft circles around them. She gasped out loud and her legs started to give way beneath her. He slid her robe off her shoulders very, very slowly and it slithered down and landed at her feet and then removed her bra even slower with one finger and dropped it on the floor behind him. Her breathing was so heavy and her insides were contracting tightly. Every muscle in her body was coiled as tightly as a spring. They gazed at each other for a very long moment.
“Seb… take them off… your clothes… please…” she pleaded.
He took them off and she pressed her bare skin against his and kissed him again. He took her hands and led her to the bed. They lay down facing each other. He pushed her on her back and leaned across her, his fingers running back and forth across her bare stomach. She was naked except for her tiny white lace panties.
“I am starting the kissing part now Laura. There’s lots of you to kiss but I should be done by midnight, I think.” He smiled at her “If there’s anything you want to say, do it now….Because I’m going to be too busy to answer soon.”
Nothing entered her head… not a single word. She closed her eyes as he started to kiss every inch thoroughly. He didn’t stop… not even once….
Her skin was hot and covered with a film of perspiration. She had her hands on his head, writhing around against his mouth as it made it’s way up from her knee to her inner thigh.
“Seb… I am on fire for you… I want us to do it now… please! I just can’t wait another second… all this kissing is driving me absolutely crazy.”
“But I am so enjoying exploring you…. and I am just getting to my favourite part a bit further up here…” He ran his finger under the white lace and stroked her softly back and forth. Her eyes rolled back in her head.
“Oh God! … No! I mean it…I can’t last much longer. I’m ultra sensitive everywhere down there.”
“Really? That sounds interesting. How many times a night can you be ultra sensitive?”
“Lots… but I would like the first one to be with you in me… I desperately need it. I want you like mad…”
“I can do that…. But you will have to make do with my fingers…. The other part is reserved for much later…”
“I don’t care what part of you it is…. Just do it!”
He pulled off her brief scrap of white lace and slid his fingers inside.
“How d’you like it… fast or slow…”
“Surprise me… but I want you to kiss me too. Quick, get up here now!”
As his lips touched hers softly, she pulled him to her urgently, roughly, her tongue swirling around his. In moments her ultra sensitive parts pulsated in rapture around his slow fingers.
“Wow Laura… you weren’t joking… that was like 20 seconds….!”
“Just give me a minute and I can go again…” she smiled into his very smiley green eyes.
Chapter 15
An hour or so later and he finally finished the kissing and finger marathon. She was not on this earth anymore…. He had to coax her down from the hot planet Venus….
She lay in his arms satisfied, glowing and dizzy from her trip across the galaxy of love…. Her hands slid down his stomach and lower, pulling his underwear down a little, putting her hand inside and stroking him gently with her fingertips…
“Is it time for the other part yet?”
“No, but you’ll know when it is. Get them off now. You’ve got a lot of kissing to do.”
It was a long time later that she finally had him where she really wanted him. This was going to be so good.
She lay back and pulled him in. She drew in a deep breath feeling his fullness inside her.
“Put your legs around me and lay still…. Let me do it all the first time.” He wanted to be completely in control. Just in case….
He needn’t have worried at all. He was fine. She was fine. They were both fine whatever they did, lots of times after that.
Actually, he realised, as another red hot bullet of pleasure suddenly shot through his head, he was way more than fine. He was completely in love with this ultra sensitive woman. This was going to prove rather difficult to manage.
She couldn’t believe all this…
It was the most amazing sex session she had ever had in her life! Hours and hours of it. The things they had just done made her mind boil over and her stomach squeeze and flip with the memory. It was worth the frustration she had felt over the previous days ten times over….
Why had he waited so long to do this with her?
She would find out one way or another.
She lay with her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat.
“Seb… you simply can’t be human….”
“I am most of the time”
“You’re a bit of base animal aren’t you…. not that I’m complaining!”
“Mmm… I have my dark animal side”
“This massive love-in you’ve just sprung on me …. I don’t know what to say.”
“What about saying it was nice?”
“Nice? No it wasn’t just nice…. It was a dream come true. The hottest, chocolate ice cream, non stop orgasmic, filthy dream that I have ever had in my life!”
“Well in that case, that sounds like extremely nice to me.”
“But why change your mind about us tonight so suddenly … what’s happened? Was it Si coming over?”
“No… I had PMT before… men have it you know.”
“Don’t be so ridiculous…. ”
“It’s a monthly cycle thing… that’s all I’m saying for now. Let’s go to sleep now babe… You’ve worn me out… ”
Chapter 16
He awoke the next morning in his old, or was that her new, bed….He supposed it must be their bed now. She was lying curved up to him, her leg slung across him and her hair in a mess across her face. He brushed it away and looked at her sleeping face. How could anyone be quite so lovely as she was?
His feelings for her were suddenly overwhelming. He had to tell her. It was the only way they could possibly be together.
But first he wanted to enjoy it some more with her. Before she knew the truth. She might not want the person he really was inside. He couldn’t tell what would happen.
Her eyes flickered open and she instantly rolled on top of him. Her hand found his hardness and she squeezed him g
ently running her thumb over and over the tip. She wanted him right this second! It was wonderful having this on tap. Shame she had to go to work…
“It seems you’re ready and I’m ready … wanna quickie before I go to work?” She was getting all that she could while it lasted. She knew he was going to leave her soon. Going back northeast for good.
“What if I say no?” he joked as she slid down on his hardness rocking back and forth on him slightly her hands braced against his shoulders.
“Refusing to screw me is not allowed… ever again.” she said with a determined look.
“How much time have we got… ‘cos there’s a few things I really must to do this morning.”
“About half an hour I guess.” She said looking at the clock beside the bed.
“Okay… that’s quite enough… get on your elbows and knees. You can bite the pillow if you like… this is going to be fast and hard…”
“You know just how to treat a girl…. No warm up?”
“That is the warm up. Then I’m going to have you in the shower too. That will be even harder…”
“I’m feeling quite overcome.”
“Yeah? Well you can pass out afterwards…”
“No… I’m feeling hotter than hot about it… fucking do it to me right now!”
She rolled off him and got in position….
“Laura have I told you you’ve got a goddamn lovely ass…!”
Chapter 17
She had a good day at work. The animal patients were minor cases. No upsetting events at all. She stood in the staff room having a cup of coffee smiling to herself remembering the hard and fast start to her day. Her mind was consumed with him. How could she ever let him go? It was going to be a big problem for her because the truth was, she loved him. She loved everything he did to her. Everything about him. His rather animalistic ways turned her on like nothing else!
She arrived home from work in a happy mood. He was waiting in the kitchen.
