Hanging By A Moment (Sequel to Funhouse)

Chapter 29

I wake with a start, My eyes flicker open quickly. I squint a few times trying to adjust to the sunlight in the room. My eyes hover over the alarm clock on my bedside table, the digital display reads 8.17am.

Within seconds I realize what has waken me from the dream I’d been having, A warm hand making idle circles on my hip bone, Soft wet kisses being placed on my lower back.

A smile reaches my lips as my foggy sleep deprived brain catches up with what’s happening and who those lips belong to.

I remain silent and still in bed enjoying the feeling of Kimberley lips on my bare skin and not wanting it to end just yet I allow her to continue her ministrations letting her believe I’m still asleep.

Seconds & Minutes pass a I lay in perfect bliss as Kimberley tongue & lips caresses my lower back never moving higher or lower than the spot she’s selected. 

Her hand strokes down my bare thigh as I try to steady my breathing, My hearts swelling for love & lust for her as she continues to shower my back with affection in this seemingly random acted. A unconscious moan leaves my lips, most likely notifying Kimberley that I am in fact awake. It doesn’t seem to faze her as she leaves a long line of kisses at the bottom of my spine. Her tongue then comes out to play licking and sucking making a invisible pattern on my skin.  

That’s when it clicks in my head, I’d been laid here basking in the attention she was showing me and hadn’t even thought why. My T-Shirt had obviously ridden up in the night exposing the tattoo on my lower back and exposing even more of my heart at the same time. I felt naked in front of her, My heart laid bare.

When I realise what she was doing I reach down and covered her hand that was still gently kneading the flesh on my hip, She flexes her hand against mine before gripping it tightly.

I felt self-conscious in her presence , I want to open my mouth to speak, to explain, but nothing was comes out. I just stare at the hotel room wall and cling to her hand feeling helpless.

After a few more minutes she leaves my lower back and kisses her way up my spine, moving my T-Shirt up with her other hand, Once she reaches the top of my back she pulls my top back down covering my back with the material.

She closes the distance between us spooning me from behind, delicate butterfly kisses are placed on the exposed part of my neck she can reach before she places her chin on my shoulder and snuggles closes.

“I cant believe you got that” She breathes in to my ear

I don’t respond feeling silly, I just squeeze her hand tighter than before.

“I love it” She purrs into my ear

“Y’  . .You do ..” I stutter out as my mouth curves into a smile

“I do”

I turn in her arms wanting to see her beautifully face, She eases her hold on me allowing me to turn to face her. 

I tangle my legs with hers and place my arms around her waist pulling myself as close to her as possible.

Her eyes are brimming with unshed tears but she doesn’t look sad, her face is wearing a dazzling smile and I cant help but tilt my head towards her and lean in for a lingering kiss that she happily grants me.

“How long have you had that?” she asks me when I pull away from her lips referring to the tribal heart tattoo on my back.

“A long time, It was the first Tattoo I ever got and the most special” I reply

“Why?” She says looking deep into my eyes

“Why, What?” I laugh

“Why did you get it” She whispers looking embarrassed
