Whispers of the Diamond: A Romance of Memory and Desire

Chapter 31 - Alex

As I stirred the next morning, I was acutely aware I wasn't alone. I turned my head, meeting the back of her neck, inhaling her scent deeply. I could feel it resonate to the very core of who I am. This was my Terra.

My arm wrapped around her waist, drawing a whimper from her. My fingers walked over her skin slowly, then down. I had to wonder, as they slowly slid along her body, again she whimpered. Her body pushed into my hand and I continued down, her ass pushed back and slowly ground into me. I wasn't quite sure if she was awake, but my hand continued its path before slowly curling over her heat core. Another whimper as she ground harder into me. My fingers pressed forward, slipping into her. Within moments, she had coated my fingers in her juices.

I pushed deeper now, pinning her into me as my cock nestled in the crack of her ass. My fingers plunged into her, her breathing caught, but she continued to sleep. My need grew deeper before I reached to draw her thigh over mine. Then, I reached down to position myself, stroking my length against her before letting the tip catch the entrance and slide into her tight, soaked cunt. Slowly, I began to move my hips as her body instinctively reacted. My length dipped into her deeper and deeper with every thrust now.

She stirred, a slight movement, then pushed back, sinking me deep into her as she moaned. Her hands gripped at my wrist, her nails biting into the skin.

"Fuck Alex!" She moaned now, her hips pushing back as we found a rhythm with her meeting every thrust of mine. My hand wound into her hair, bending her head back as my lips met hers in a deep, crushing kiss. Her body bent, shifting her hips, forcing me deeper still as she whimpered, begging for me to go harder. Each thrust sent my hips crashing into hers.

She pulled away and pushed me onto my back before climbing over me. The sight of her above me as she eased me back into her was the most erotic thing I think I'd ever seen in that moment. Terra was riding me with nothing but a desperate need for her own release. Her hips ground into me before she planted her hands on my chest and began to raise herself up, then push back down, a steady rhythm had her bouncing in my lap once more. The sound of flesh against flesh filled the room.

Suddenly, she dropped into me, her body shuddering as she clenched and flexed around my cock. Her juices spilled down between us, hot and wet, a cry ripping from her with the force of her orgasm. My arm reached around her waist, and I began pounding up into her, causing her body to tense as she whimpered and moaned. Our hips met with each thrust upward.

"God yes!" She moaned as she took me, each thrust up deep and hard, before finally, I rolled over, pinning her hands over her head and slamming in harder, sinking into her repeatedly with each thrust now. This was pure need, as we both raced toward release. She came hard, her cunt twitching then clamping down, sending me crashing over the edge into my own release, pumping her full of cum.

I collapsed down beside her, and she crawled into my side, my arm wrapping around her as reassurance that we were safe. She knew I cared, even after using her like I didn't. The agreement was always that anything during sex was just that—an act. It's why we always ended up close afterwards, a reassurance that my love and care were as genuine then as they were before we began.

I genuinely couldn't remember the last time I had actually managed to sleep, but next to her, I had. And our morning of fun had definitely woken me up. She looked at me with the same glazed look I was sure I had.

"Well, that's one way to wake up," she chuckled softly.

"I remember how much you enjoy such things," I replied kissing her forehead gently.

"Mmm, I'd forgotten how good getting woken up like that could be. Thank you," she replied before we fell into a gentle kiss—long, soft, and slow. The world stood still for a few moments as our hearts fell into rhythm.

We sat, and I climbed out of bed, heading for the kitchen. I slowly looked through the cupboards, only to realise I had nothing in. I sighed and closed the cupboard, looking back at her.

"Guess we order in?" I shrugged, my mind racing, trying to figure out how to make sure the woman I loved was fed.

"Probably not wise. It's fine, Alex, I'm just not used to you not being prepared," she joked in reply. She was correct—usually, I'd keep a full breakfast on hand, but I barely spent any time here, so my cupboards were bare, with hardly anything essential. I tended to live on takeout or would go to a local restaurant, but of course, with her, I couldn't do that with her, we were after all both targets.

We dressed and headed for the car. As we climbed in, I leaned over and kissed her once more, knowing it would be one of the last moments we could be so openly intimate. We drove until we found a fast-food drive-thru and ordered breakfast. It was always easier to start the morning with coffee and bacon. As we continued driving, Terra directed us. She knew this area well, which meant she'd spent a lot of time here—perhaps not by car, but certainly on foot.

We pulled up under the bridge and crossed the road, sliding through the heavy steel door and dropping onto the tracks. Terra suddenly shifted; her body straightened, her stance becoming much more formal and commanding as she walked. The girl I loved was replaced by someone all business and purpose. The further into the darkness we walked, the more I began to wonder if this was the right course.
