Not Warriors- Awsten Knight

Chapter 40

"Hey guys we're leaving!" Ginny calls from the bottom of the stairs to Claire and Awsten who were laying in bed together.

"Ok bye mom! Be safe love you!" Awsten replies.

"Love you both, see you later!" she calls out and they here the front door close.

"Safe from interrogation for one night only." Claire says playfully, as she twists the rings on Awsten's hand again out of comfort.

Awsten had noticed that she had been doing it a lot lately, and he didn't mind it because it meant there was always some sort of physical connection between the two of them and that comforted him just as much as her.

"What do you want to eat for dinner?" Awsten mumbles softly, nuzzling his head into the crook of Claire's neck.

"I'm not sure, are you in the mood for anything?" Claire asks curiously, and Awsten shakes his head still leaning on her.

"Do you want to order anything or maybe we can go to HEB afterwards to get stuff to make dinner? It's been a while since we ate actual meals. I bet you're dying for orange juice." she says with a laugh and Awsten groans. 

"Can you make the pizza you always used to make us in the apartment?" he asks her with puppy dog eyes and she giggles. 

"Out of everything we could eat you want me to make us pizza?" she asks him and he nods. 

"I can make us pizza Aws, simple and easy." she tells him.

"Fuck yes, we can leave in a little bit." he says wrapping his arm around Claire's waist, pulling her unbelievably closer to him. 

"That cannot be a comfortable position to lie in." Claire points out with a laugh.

"You're right" Awsten replies lowly, letting go of Claire's hand while sitting up to grab her hips and pull her on top of him laying back with a proud look on his face.

"Oh and me straddling you is better?" she replies teasingly, and Awsten smirks licking his lips.

"Yeah I'd say." he replies, putting his hands behind his head leaning against the headboard.

"Good view too." he points out, glancing at Claire up and down.

Claire rolls her eyes, but her face quickly turns to a smirk looking down at Awsten.

"I'd say the same thing, you look pretty underneath me." she replies teasingly and Awsten inhales sharply.

Awsten reaches a hand up, tucking a piece of hair behind Claire's ear and then resting it on her waist lifting up her shirt softly to rest it on her bare skin.

"What are we doing here bear?" he asks her softly, his eyes twinkling and Claire smirks leaning down placing her hands on either side of Awsten's head hovering over him.

"Whatever you're comfortable with Aws, I'm just enjoying being this close to you again." she says softly pressing a kiss to his forehead.

"Can I kiss you?" Awsten asks her softly, looking up at her with a smile and she nods lowering her head to meet his lips.

Awsten grips Claire's hips slightly earning a soft sigh from her, and he smiles against her lips.

"What's so funny Knight?" Claire mumbles in between kisses and he lets out a soft chuckle.

"Nothing, just something's never change." he replies teasingly.

Claire smirks as she dips her head down trailing kisses down his jaw, feeling rough against her lips due to the fact Awsten hadn't shaved in a few days and making her way to his neck kissing softly.

She giggles when his grip on her tightens, "yeah somethings never change do they?" she repeats in a taunting tone and he groans flipping the two of them over so she is underneath him.

"Hmm I see what you mean about liking how I look underneath you, I could get used to this view." he tells her kissing her fiercely, tugging at the hem of her shirt.

"Can I take this off?" he asks breathlessly in between kisses and she nods.

"Words princess, I need you to say yes." he tells her in a low voice.

"Yes you have permission to take it off, and full consent to do whatever from this point on." she replies, looking at Awsten whose pupils are blown out, his eyes dark.

"Whatever?" he asks questioningly with an eyebrow raised and Claire nods softly. 

"Yeah, whatever." she confirms softly. 

"Is it bad I'm nervous?" he asks with a small laugh and Claire shakes her head looking up at him. 

"No I don't think so, it's not like we haven't been together before. But everything is new and uncharted Aws." she reassures him and he lets out a deep breath.

"I love you." Claire replies softly, resting her hand on Awsten's cheek and he smiles. 

"I love you too angel." he says in a low voice, dipping down to kiss her harder than he previously had reaching down and pulling Claire's shirt over her head. 

"Can I take yours off?" she asks him pulling away from the kiss for a moment and he smiles pulling his shirt over the top of his head. 

"You are so beautiful Claire holy fuck." Awsten says breathlessly, against her mouth.

"I could say the same about you." she replies, tangling her hands in his hair and pulling him closer to her. 

There was a sort of urgency between the two of them, as if the feverish kisses between them were making up for years of unspoken words. 

Their tongues danced across each other effortlessly, and Awsten let out a low groan when Claire bit down on his bottom lip gently. 

"You're killing me bear." Awsten says desperately. 

"Then do something about it bub." she replies with a smirk on her face. 

"Are you sure?" he asks her once more, they both knew at this point what was going to happen. They were both naked their limbs tangled in the covers and interlocked with each others, impossibly close with one another. 

"I've never been more sure." she says to him, as they fall into one another.
