Whispers of the Diamond: A Romance of Memory and Desire

Chapter 29 - Alex

I watched as she swallowed me down, a shiver running down my spine. She always had that effect on me, and I enjoyed it. But I was done waiting. I pushed her back, climbing over her, and sank into her heated core with a single thrust, eliciting a deep moan from her. My hands interlaced with hers before pinning them over her head. Slowly, I eased my hips back before slamming in hard, the loud snap of flesh on flesh echoing through the room.

Another whimper escaped her as I began to thrust with a rapid pace, groaning with every movement. Our bodies meshed in a rhythm that echoed in our ears, the sound of flesh and pleasure a symphony of intense carnal desire. The heat of Terra around me was, as always, intense. My interlaced fingers felt as she gripped tighter. Her body arched up under me as she came hard, another reminder of how deeply connected we were.

I slowed down, no longer rushing, taking my time to ensure she felt every inch, savouring how wet she was for me. I dropped my head to her shoulder, breathing against her ear as I continued my slow, deliberate rhythm. I could feel her resisting as I pulled out, then sliding back in. Each slow penetration was followed by a gradual withdrawal, her whimpers soft and gentle. Slowly, I quickened my pace, only to slow down again, bringing her closer to release before pulling back just as she was on the edge. I could hear her whine and whimper each time I held back, drawing out the moment and heightening the anticipation.

"P... Please..." she moaned.

"God, Terra, you're enough to drive a man insane," I replied. "Cum for me!" The moment the words left my lips and reached her ear, she cried out, her whole body shuddering with intense pleasure. I slowly eased back, sliding free of her, then took her hand and led her from the room to my bedroom—a small room with a double bed, a set of drawers, and a monitor for whatever TV happened to be on. Mostly, I kept it on the news channel; the world was a mess, but you could gather intel if you paid enough attention.

She crawled onto the bed, and I crawled back over her, my body weight pressing down on her as I sank back into her. My body pushed into her back, ensuring every inch of me was buried inside her. My hips moved slowly at first, then more rapidly, forcing her into the mattress with every thrust. My hand was on her shoulder as I thrust hard and fast, driving in deep. She whimpered as I felt her grow wetter, her whole body pushing back against me as I drove in hard. Once again, her cunt clamped violently around my cock as she shuddered through another release.

I couldn't hold back as I thrust in, burying myself as deep into her as I could. My cock twitched and pulsed before flooding her with my hot cum. A low, deep growl ripped from my throat as I released, followed by a second and third spurt inside her. I groaned and slowly slid free before collapsing beside her. She adjusted and crawled into my side, wrapping her thigh over mine and settling against me.

"I've missed this," she sighed softly, her head settling onto my chest as I felt the heat of her against my thigh.

"The sex?" I quipped.

"No! This..." she replied, playfully grinding into me. "The lying together, the cuddling, the knowing we have each other."

"It's the small things you miss," I replied softly, kissing her head. I always enjoyed these moments, being close to each other, feeling our bodies against each other. The flesh-to-flesh contact had always been the most comforting to us.

She nodded as she sat up slowly, her eyes meeting mine as she smiled softly.

"So, what's the plan?"

"Wow, ever the soldier," I chuckled softly. "Get me into bed, then pump me for intel?"

"You pumped me, only seems fair," she replied, not missing a beat between my words and her own.

"True," I replied with a smirk. "We have a plan, a victory big enough to make them pay attention. But if you do this, Terra, I need you to not be involved. We walk away, let them do this," I added solemnly, my tone dropping to one of concern. I knew the risks, and they would get her killed.

"I can't, Alex, you know this," she responded.

I sighed and lay back, falling into my own thoughts. She had hardened in our years apart—that I expected—but her need to be who she was, that I couldn't grasp. It would, in the end, get her killed, and that was something I couldn't allow. Inevitably, an attack on London North would provoke the response of the entire TG.

It was somewhere in that moment I knew the only way to protect her was to go with her into the heart of London North. I sighed deeply, my mind turning over the plan. I could hand them all the intel in the world, but unless they found a solid way to use it and had the numbers, they'd never make it, and most would die—including the woman I loved. Again, we never really discovered their numbers, but they had a decent militia. They'd managed to ambush me and take Terra from my custody, though I took exception to being killed.

"Then I go with you, and I'm not negotiating on this, Terra. You're going into the heart of the monster. My team will help, but if you want it to be believable, then this is my price," I replied firmly.

"You're defecting?" she asked, puzzled now.

"No, I'm protecting the woman I love," I shrugged in response. To me, defection was a bad thing. I was doing this for love, not politics or because I was somehow against the TG. They hadn't executed me, and for that, I was now oddly grateful. Here I was, back in the arms of the woman I loved, something that wouldn't have been possible all those years ago.
