The Gloves are Off

Untitled Part 14

Vik POV:

Can't believe where I am... layin' here in her bed, listenin' to her breathing, her leg draped across my waist and hand restin' along my chest while she sleeps soundly cuddled up against me.

She passed out quick, and gotta admit this is the most comfortable I've felt in a long time. Definitely tired after a long day, but... just can't fuckin' sleep.

My mind's racin' too much with everything that's happened, thinkin' too much on how unreal this all is, how grateful I am and things are only just gettin' started. Can only imagine what this could turn into... makes my heart swell, makes it damn hard to stop starin' at her long enough to have any chance at fallin' asleep myself.

The way she was lookin' at me earlier... hadn't had anyone look at me like that in a long fuckin' time, and even then, damn sure didn't make me feel like this.

She's somethin' else...

And she's all mine.

I can't help but smile to myself, fellin' like a goddamn idiot grinnin' in the dark.

Run a hand down over my face before slidin' it back along her thigh, feelin' her warm skin against mine and finally being able to touch her like I wanted to from day one.

Her and these damn legs... gonna be the death of me still, I'm sure.

She stirs a bit, archin' against me and pullin' me close as her hand slides up my chest to rest along my jaw, her face nuzzlin' into the crook of my neck.

Her lips tickle along the skin there, brushing lightly as she gets comfortable again, still asleep but makin' my heart race and skin prickle anyway.

Fuck...

She lets out a soft whimper-like sound, settlin' in as she hitches her leg further up along my abs.

Goddamit...

She's not even fuckin' awake and she's tormenting me, testin' me, drivin' me up the goddamn wall without even realizing it.

I try to calm myself down, take a deep breath and give her a light squeeze, focusin' on the cuddle aspect being so nice rather than... the rest...

Close my eyes and try to drift off, feelin' my heart finally start to quiet down.

But her leg shifts again, stretchin' out further across, to cover my lower abs as she lets out a breath against my skin, givin' me goosebumps again and sendin' warmth floodin' down to my stomach.

I let out a shaky breath, and move my hand along her thigh, meanin' to carefully resituate her just a little, give myself enough room to not feel like I might lose my grip at any second...

She mutters somethin' against my neck, her grip on me tightening a little, keepin' me close, "Vik..."

Guess she's stirrin' awake, "yeah, sweetheart?"

Her lips brush along the pulse point at my neck, makin' my jaw clench, grippin' her leg a little tighter when she mumbles close to my ear, "you're so warm... don't scoot away."

Half manage a light chuckle, "alright, sweetheart. Just quit with the neck and leg stuff, gonna keep me awake all night."

Can feel that fuckin' smirk of hers as she presses in further, her hand slidin' up along my jaw to grip along the side of my head so I can't pull away, her lips ghostin' along my neck again makin' me fuckin' shiver, "I'm just tryin'a stay warm, Vik."

I clear my throat and grip her wrist, pullin' away just enough to look in her eyes, "need to cool it, sweetheart," I warn her again, watchin' that brow of her twitch up as she draws that pouty bottom lip between her teeth briefly...

"Sorry," she sticks her bottom lip out in a playful pout, lookin' cute as hell and still managin' to be the sexiest damn thing I've ever seen... "can't help myself, I only promised to mostly behave. Remember?"

I chuckle and shake my head, keepin' her hand in mine, holding it at my chest so she can't pull me back in, "guess I'll have to behave for the both of us then, babe."

"Don't worry, Vik," she smiles soft, "we can go slow. Just might have to remind me from time to time."

I chuckle again and press her knuckles to my lips, "sure like to make it hard on me, don't ya, sweetheart."

"Alright, alright," she giggles and rolls her eyes, givin' my hand a light squeeze, "I'll behave, babe. Let's just go to sleep."

"Good," I give one last kiss to the back of her hand and trail my other hand along her shoulder, my arm still tucked up under her head a bit, "gotta learn to mind your elders, after all."

She giggles again, makin' my lips twitch up as I glance over to her one more time before closin' my eyes to try and get some sleep.

Got the day off tomorrow, so not too worried about it, but hate to fuck up my already shit sleep schedule even more.

Only takes a few seconds for her to nuzzle up to me again, but she seems to be behavin' this time, her leg hitchin' up higher but not movin' too much afterwards. Maybe just actually keepin' warm this time.

Might've been alright if I hadn't slid my hand further up her thigh...

Just wanted to pull her closer, give her a little affectionate squeeze before driftin' off completely...

But goddamn... the skin just keeps goin'... feelin' a the soft edge of her underwear along her hip...

Fuck me...

My breath hitches in my throat, hand hesitating, lingerin' a bit before I really fuck up and slide down further to grip her ass lightly.

Barely squeezed, slidin' my hand back along her thigh all casual thinkin' she might not've noticed... until she breathes out against my neck, her hand gripping along my hair again makin' me lean my head back further into the pillow, lettin' her nip at my jaw.

I let out a breath, almost a groan, feelin' my fuckin' pounding against my chest as I grip her thigh, "sweetheart..."

"You started it..." she mumbles, her breath hot on my ear before she lightly bites my neck.

"You're the one not wearin' pants..." I breathe out, feelin' myself lose all resolve with each kiss she presses along my jaw.

"I was gonna behave until you grabbed my ass..."

"Oh?" I groan again when her teeth find a sensitive spot, my hand sliding up to grip her ass tighter this time, "sayin' you don't like when I do that?"

She whimpers in my ear, tuggin' along my hair and ruinin' any self-control I had barely managed to cling to for this long...

I shift to my side, leanin' over her a bit and grippin' along her throat gently to make her look up at me before crashin' my lips to hers.

She moans into my mouth, the sounds she makes drivin' me fuckin' wild.

I slide my hand down over her body, trailin' over her curves, tucking along her knee to hitch her leg up before sliding back up to grip her ass, coaxing another moan from her.

Her hands roam over me, lightin' a fire like I never felt before, grippin' my shoulders and...

Goddammit...

My back meets the mattress, quirkin' a brow up at her in surprise as she straddles me, my hands movin' to her hips and mutterin' a low, "fuck..." before I can realize what's happenin'.

She leans over me, trailin' her hands up my abs slow, then my chest, movin' to tangle them in my hair as she grinds her body against mine.

I can't help but groan, pullin' her in for a deep kiss, not even able to think straight anymore... just knowin' I need her. Right now.
