Wishing Star

Chapter 19

She woke sometime later to Caelum lightly shaking her shoulders. "Wake up, sleepy girl," he whispered.

She sat up in confusion, her hair a lion's mane of curls thanks to Caelum's fingers. "Ugh, did I fall asleep again?"

She looked over to find Clark's spot empty. "Where's Clark?"

He chuckled quietly. "He went upstairs. Said something about a nap. And yes, the movie ended twenty minutes ago."

She gasped and ran her fingers through her hair, trying to tame the mess. "Why didn't you wake me?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "You looked too peaceful to wake up. And I know you got up early this morning."

Her cheeks heated in embarrassment. "So you've just been sitting here letting me drool all over your pants?"

He looked down and laughed at the wet spot on his sweats before standing up and moving to the fireplace to add another log. He changed the subject, sparing her any further embarrassment. "Are you still tired?"

She shook her head, feeling oddly rejuvenated after her nap. "I just took a long nap. I think I'm good for a while."

She watched him as he placed a bunch of pillows on the floor by the fire and then covered everything with a couple of blankets. "Then let's relax by the fire."

She moved from the couch and laid across the surprisingly comfortable pile of pillows.

He gave her a sweet smile before leaning forward and kissing her. "Look at you," he whispered. "You're so beautiful like this."

Her head rested against the pillow, and her curly hair spread out around her. She knew her cheeks were pink and glowing from all the attention he was giving her, but she didn't hate it despite usually hating being the center of attention. With the fire roaring two feet away from her, she was comfortable and warm, and she wanted Caelum. She figured they were on the same page as he knelt in front of her and spread her legs so he could settle between them. He held himself up on his elbows as he looked down at her.

He sat back up and slowly pulled her yoga pants down, dragging her panties along with them. "You and these fucking yoga pants," he murmured. "Walking around the house with them hugging that perfect ass the way they do. It's sinful."

He went ahead and pulled her shirt over her head and unsnapped her bra with one hand, flinging both to the side.

He stared at her chest before taking in her whole body laid out in front of him. "I still don't know how I got so lucky."

Her pussy throbbed at the need in his voice, and she spread her legs further apart.

He stared at her center, glistening in the firelight. He reached a single finger out and reverently ran it down her slit, causing her pussy to contract.

He let out a shaky breath as he leaned down to bury his face in her and licked straight up her center until he was circling her clit.

She gasped, and her hips bucked until he dug possessive fingers into her thighs. "Stay still."

"Caelum, enough foreplay. I want you inside of me right now."

"You're a bossy little thing, aren't you?"

A sound of indignation escaped her mouth until she was distracted by his tongue pushing inside of her.

She cried out and threw her head back, but just as quickly, he pulled away. His thumbs rubbed across the skin on her thighs as he rested his chin against her pelvis and smiled up at her. "Don't worry. I like it when you boss me around."
