21 - One step closer

Emily

I knew that Dax was mad. I could feel it in the air around him. But thankfully, he didn't yell. Not to me when I told him why we were at that place, nor to his sister when we got back to his place. The boys quickly left on their bikes, once me and Caitie were in the house, leaving us on the mercy of Dax in the middle of his living room.

"Lily, could you, please, leave me and Caitie for a little?" He wasn't looking at either of us. His eyes were closed, and he was pinching the bridge of his nose, and at this moment, I felt awful. Because Dax was doing everything he could to keep me safe, to keep his sister safe, and we just put him in a position that he couldn't do it.

I silently left. Ace was right behind me and we went to Dax's room. After all the packaging and moving all kinds of stuff from one place to another, I felt sore. My back was killing me, so I decided that my body needed a rest and sleep more than food. So, I just changed into one of Dax's T-shirts (yeah, I had my own clothes now, but his were so soft, that I couldn't make myself stop using them) and got into the bed with Ace right beside me.

At one point in the night, I felt movement on the bed and decided that Ace was probably finding a new comfortable position. Just when I was drifting back to sleep, I was engulfed in this comfortable heat, that I didn't want to move from and investigate what it was.

Hours later, when the sun was shining through the curtains, I woke up still engulfed in this lovely heat, with this heaviness around my waist. It took me a few minutes to fully wake up and understand that the warm thing at my back was not Ace, but Dax, who was holding me close to him while he was sleeping. I tried to move his hand from around me, but the moment I was making the smallest of movements, he just wrapped it stronger around me, making me completely snug to his chest.

"Where do you think you're going, Cupcake?" His voice was so low and raspy from the sleep that goosebumps showed all over my skin, making me shiver from the things his voice was igniting in me. Feeling my shivers, he pulled me even closer to him, making me absolutely immobile. I could feel his breath on my neck, and when he rubbed his nose in a spot right behind my ear, I barely managed to hold the moan that wanted to escape my lips. He was driving me absolutely crazy. My libido was so high that I felt that I could orgasm if he just kept rubbing that spot with his nose.

"Umm...I...I should..." I tried to find words, but he felt so good that my brain short circuit.

"I don't know if you remember, but yesterday I was going to get you out of the house."

"Mmm..." While Dax was talking, his lips were barely touching my skin, making it hard to concentrate on his words. "You did?"

"Yup. I had plans too, but... yeah..." Yeah, I decided to bond with his sister, not in the best of ways. "...but since it didn't happen like I planned, today I decided to try with a new one." Did he even know how hard it was to try and understand his words with his lips on my neck?

"N-new plan?"

"Mhmm."

"What...what was the old one?"

"I guess you'll never know." I was laying on my side, my back to his chest in one moment, and in the next, I was on my back, Dax's body between my legs. He was holding his upper body on his forearms, and his face was very, very close to mine.

"Umm, umm..." I was so lost...I had no idea what to expect, how to react, so I took to coward's way and stayed at one place, not moving, waiting to see his next move. And he didn't disappoint. He lowered his body, so he was almost touching me but not quite there, and he buried his face in my neck, where he continued his torture with his nose and lips on my sensitive skin.
