All My Stars

14 pt.2

"Here" I shove the packaged cheesecake towards Natsumi gingerly, avoiding her gaze though I can still make out the way her lips curve upwards.

"You bought this for me?"

I nod.

"Well then you have to give it to me"

" I am" My face is a mask of confusion as I look up at her.

"There" She smiles, "Now try again"

" I uh- I bought you cheesecake"

"You did? Well, thank you" Natsumi finally takes the package from my arms and they drop limply to my side.

I watch expectantly as she tries a bite and she smiles at me, tugging me into her for a side hug.

"It's good, thank you" She has another piece, a peaceful smile etched onto her face.

"You want some?" She offers, bringing the container closer to me.

"No" I deny, " I just like watching you eat" 

My lips purse right after, but it's too late, she's already heard me.

Natsumi pauses, fork halfway to her mouth before she sets it down. She looks unsure of what to say.

"Sorry, I made this awkward" I scratch the side of my face helplessly and turn to watch whatever movie is showing.

"No, it's not that" She denies with a shake of her head, " I just didn't expect it" Her cute smile returns and she grabs me to her, smothering ticklish kisses all up the side of my neck and exposed shoulder.

"Stop, that tickles" I swat at her, laughing as she holds me.

"No, you're too cute" She denies stubbornly, continuing her kisses all the way to my cheek. Natsumi pauses, staring at my bright smile that matched her own. I watched as her expression turned sultry, I watch in real-time as her pupils dilate. The distance between us grows smaller as she gets closer.

"Can I kiss you" I can feel the movement of her lips against my own already.

"Yes"

No more time is wasted and her lips meet mine sweetly, it's innocent at first and she pauses briefly to look at me before she's coming back for more. This is what I wanted in the bathtub and finally having it causes a fulfilled sigh to leave me. Her tongue brushes against my lips and I let her in, tasting the remnants of her dessert heavy on my tongue. I move of my own accord, resting in her lap as if it were my throne by birthright and she lets me. One hand grips my waist, the other moving up my back to bury into my hair. It's harmonic, the way our bodies move completely in sync and then, it settles. Something peaceful, quiet as she pecks my lips with a finality that has me chasing her slightly.

"Boundaries" She mumbles against my ear before resting her head against the skin of my neck.

"We've done worse" A puff of laughter escapes her as she captures my arms, moving them over her shoulders to get closer to me.

" I'm trying not to dishonor you" Her voice is strained and her hands flex over their position on my hips.

" No one else but you will have me" It's a reminder to both of us, of our agreement.

" Principle, Navi" The way she says my name has goosebumps rising up over my arms, and Natsumi drums her hands across my skin.

"Okay," I concede, relaxing in her hold.

She places a kiss on my neck, not breaking away.

" Can I leave a mark on you?" she asks, her voice a husky whisper against my throat.

How could I say no to that?

I nod once, before moving my hair and nodding again and she breathes heavily through her nose before I feel her lips on my neck again. The slide of her tongue is gentle as she sucks on the skin there. It feels good and I let her know it with a soft moan, sliding my palm up into her hair and fisting it slightly. Her nose runs against my skin causing me to shiver.

"You have no idea how badly I want to do more than this" She hugs me to her and we stay like that, wrapped in each other's embrace.
