Secrets and Sins

Chapter 29

~Beatrice~

She burst out laughing. She couldn't help it, laughing big, enormous belly laughs. Ava joined in with her initially, but after a moment, she noticed the Halo bearer had stopped. Wiping tears of laughter from her eyes, Beatrice looked over at Ava, surprised to see the younger woman staring at her.

"What?" She asked, flushing a little.

"I just haven't seen you laugh like that since Switzerland." Ava replied with a shy smile.
"I love it, and I love you." The younger woman stepped closer, her eyes darkening.

Beatrice’s breath caught as the Halo bearer stopped in front of her, so they were chest to chest. Ava brought her hands up to run down her shoulders and upper arms before resting them on her waist. With a slight push, Ava began to reverse Beatrice into the bedroom.

"Round two?" Beatrice questioned, raising her eyebrow, trying to hide how breathless she was from Ava’s expression.

"I want you." The Halo bearer uttered huskily, causing Beatrice to shiver.

The back of her knees hit the edge of the bed, sending both of them falling onto the mattress. Somehow, Ava managed to cradle Beatrice’s torso to protect her ribs as they fell.

How did she even manage that?

Cupping her face, Ava leaned in for a searing kiss, immediately asking for entrance with her tongue. Beatrice complied, moaning as she deepened the kiss.

Feeling the entirety of the Halo bearer's naked body pressing down on her own was a mind-blowing experience for Beatrice. She had never felt so intimate with someone in her life. She could feel that Ava had positioned her weight to be mostly on her left side. It never ceased to amaze her how the younger woman was always so careful and considerate of Beatrice's pain, both physical and emotional.

God, I fucking love her.

All of a sudden Ava pulled back, giving her a wide smile before dipping her head to worship the skin on Beatrice's neck. The sister warrior gasped as Ava almost immediately found that spot. The spot that made Beatrice’s eyes roll back and her body spasm with pleasure. The Halo bearer lingered there, sucking hard to mark the skin.

"Ava, that's…I really like that." Beatrice panted, she wasn't used to asking for what she wanted, she was very much a giver rather than receiver in most aspects of her life.

Ava hummed into her skin, drawing back to swipe her hair out of the way so she could keep working that spot.

"Good Bea, tell me what you want." She spoke into her neck.

Beatrice flushed, before rushing out, "Um, Ava…I want your mouth on my chest."

The Halo bearer reared up to sit back on her haunches, her eyes shining and chest heaving, she looked delighted.

She's so beautiful.

Ava pressed a kiss to the side of Beatrice's mouth, "With pleasure", she whispered, before sliding down the sister warrior’s body so her face was level with the other woman's breasts.

The Halo bearer attached her mouth to the soft skin, Beatrice sighed, arching her back a little, feeling a slight twinge in her freshly healed ribs.

"Careful Bea, your ribs. Just tell me what you need. I'll do the work." Ava murmured into her chest.

That sentence sent a bolt of arousal south, Beatrice shuddered and then moaned loudly as Ava's mouth closed around her nipple, the woman's tongue circling around the sensitive flesh. Beatrice's hips bucked slightly, she felt an ache beginning to grow between her legs,

"Ava, I need more." The sister warrior pleaded.

"Okay baby, tell me what you need." Ava whispered, looking up into Beatrice's face.

"I…I don't know. I haven't had…inside. I don't know if I'm ready for that…" Beatrice felt a wave of anxiety, almost extinguishing her arousal, panic flooded her veins.

What if she doesn't want me because I'm not ready? She deserves better.

It was a horrible, toxic and very irrational thought, but it swirled in Beatrice’s head anyway, a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Hey. Hey. Hey. Bea." Ava climbed up the bed, hands instantly coming up to frame her face, thumb wiping away her tears.
"What's going on?"

"Sorry, I'm just…it's fine." She shook her head slightly.

"Bea. I'm like a hundred percent sure it's not fine." Ava frowned, stroking her cheeks.
"Talk to me."

Ava held her eye contact, imploring her to open up. Beatrice felt her dark, twisted shame rear its ugly head. Taking a deep breath, heart pounding, the sister warrior finally spoke.

"I've never had anyone or…anything inside before. I don't know if I'm ready for that. I'm sorry." Beatrice muttered ashamedly.

Ava looked shocked.

I knew it, she doesn't want me.

"I understand if you don't want this. Anymore." The sister warrior continued, looking away, she didn’t want Ava to feel guilty about not wanting her...

There was a long moment of silence. Finally, Ava spoke.

"You know for someone so smart, you’re a fucking idiot." She huffed, shaking her head with a smile.

"I... what?" Beatrice stuttered, taken aback.

Ava sighed, pressing a gentle kiss to Beatrice’s cheek.

"Bea, I would never ask you to do anything you didn't want to do. I have no expectations of you, I just want to love you."
"Even if you were a talking head in a bag. I would still love you." Ava grinned.

Beatrice felt tears rolling down her face in earnest now, never before had she felt so accepted by anyone. She never knew any relationship could be like this.

"Never be ashamed to tell me you don't want something. Actually, never be ashamed to tell anyone you don't want something. You deserve to live the life you chose." Ava finished, tone firm, she caressed Beatrice bottom lip with her thumb.
"Okay?"

Beatrice processed Ava's words for a moment before beaming up at the Halo bearer, she pulled Ava down and kissed her passionately.

"I really fucking love you, you know that?"

Ava raised an eyebrow, "Well I never! Such terrible language from a lady."

"Oh, shut up." Beatrice huffed, pulling her back in for another kiss, pushing her tongue into her mouth.

Ava only pulled back when oxygen became a problem.

"Do you want to pick up where we left off?" The Halo bearer asked voice low and sultry, Beatrice felt heat pool in her gut at the question.

"Yes."

Ava dove back down to Beatrice's chest, working the other woman into a frenzy with her mouth and hands. The sister warrior’s hips began to buck once again.

Ava paused her ministrations to look up, meeting Beatrice's eyes, "Do you trust me?"

"Of course." The sister warrior whispered.

Ava nodded, "Tell me to stop, if you're not comfortable, okay?"

The Halo bearer waited until Beatrice nodded before starting a trail of kisses down the sister warrior’s body. Dipping her tongue into the dips and valleys of her abdominal muscles. Every touch pulled goosebumps from her skin, setting her nerve endings on fire.

When Ava slid her body down the bed more, Beatrice abruptly realized what her plan was, sucking in a sharp breath. Ava immediately stopped to look up, gauging her reaction. The older woman knew she was waiting for consent. Mind racing Beatrice took a deep steadying breath.

"Yes."

Ava smiled and continued her path, grazing her lips across her pelvis. Beatrice was breathing hard now, the anticipation building. Ava slid a little lower, so she was now lying between the taller woman's legs, her mouth attached itself to the inside of her right thigh leaving a bruise on the porcelain skin, before switching to her left to lick a long strip. Beatrice whined; the teasing was getting too much. Ava smirked against her skin and moved her mouth to where the sister warrior needed her most.

The Halo bearer pressed the flat of her tongue against her and Beatrice cried out at the surge of pleasure, fisting her hands in sheets. Ava lapped at her, focusing on her clit, Beatrice couldn't stop her hips lifting off the bed, the younger woman pressed her hand on the sister warrior's stomach helping to keep her still.

A hell of a lot of sinful noises and curses were pouring from Beatrice's lips, but she couldn't bring herself to care. She could feel the wave of pleasure about to crest, bringing her hands down into Ava's hair, she hung on from dear life, keeping the Halo bearer close. Ava saved her trump card for last; she drew Beatrice's clit into her mouth and sucked. The sister warrior saw stars, the orgasm was explosive, sparks of mind-numbing pleasure travelling throughout her body.

Ava carefully climbed back up the bed, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, wearing a self-satisfied grin.

"How was that?" She asked.

"Fuck." Was all Beatrice could muster shaking her head as she wrapped an arm around Ava.

The Halo bearer giggled, snuggling in closer.

Suddenly there was a crack of power at the foot of the bed, shattering the quiet.

"LILITH?"

"Oh, for fucks sake! Put some clothes on!"
