Innocently Taken

Eight

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Sophie chanted as she jumped up and down on Ariana's bed. "Malcolm is downstairs and he don't know how to cook."

"Mom and Dad don't even cook breakfast, y'all eat cereal," Ariana said, pulling her pillow over her head.

"Sissy..." Sophie said, crawling up to Ariana and getting under the covers with her. "Are you still sad?"

Ariana let out a small breath and moved the pillow, looking at Sophie. "Yeah. I'm really sad. I lost a lot of friends."

"Maybe we should try to find 'em."

"I wish we could, baby... they're in heaven now. Remember?"

"Oh yeah..." Sophie snuggled into Ariana, laying her head on her sister's chest. "When are you gonna be happy again?"

"I dunno, honey. Maybe not for a long time."

"I hope it's soon. I miss when you were happy."

"Me too, baby girl."

"Will you come downstairs? Please? Jess is tryna get Malcolm to play Mouse Trap."

Ariana laughed a little and she kissed Sophie's curly hair. "I guess so, since somebody woke me up."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. It was a bad dream anyways."

"Was it about the Tiny Ephelants?"

"Yeah."

"They're okay now, Sissy."

"I know. I just wish they were still here."

"But I thought heaven was a good place."

"It is. But it's supposed to be a place for people who are ready to go there. These people were forced."

"Oh... well will you see them again someday?"

Ariana nodded. "Yep. When I go to heaven I'll see them."

"You're going to heaven?"

"Yeah."

Sophie's eyes filled with tears. "But I don't want you to go to heaven," her voice cracked.

"Aw, honey..." she said, sitting up and pulling her sister into her lap. "It won't be anytime soon, I promise."

"I don't want you to die."

Ariana ran her hand over Sophie's back, kissing her head. "I'm not going to. I promise. Let's go downstairs okay? We'll go see what Jess and Malcolm are doing."

"Okay..."

A few minutes later, they were both downstairs and Ariana took down a box of cereal as she listened to Jessica and Mac.

"You're cheating again," Jessica said.

"How am I cheating? I did no such thing," Mac said.

"You always cheat at this game."

"How bout y'all put that game up and come eat. Jessica Delaney," Ariana said.

"But we just started."

"And now you're stopping. Where are Mom and Dad?"

"Daddy's at work and Mommy went to the store."

"They just left you guys here?"

"Carol asked me to watch them, it's all good," Mac said.

"They aren't your responsibility."

"Relax. I was awake and you were still sleeping."

"Where's my mom?"

"With Carol."

"Alright. Put the game up, it's breakfast time."

"I'm not hungry," Jessica said.

"You're eating, Jessica. Come on. I'll make pancakes."

"Mickey shaped?" Sophie asked.

"Sure."

As Jessica got the game put up, Malcolm made his way to Ariana and kissed her lips. "This is what it's gonna be like when we have kids."

"Yeah. Can't wait."

------------------------------------------------------

Ariana grinned as Mac kissed her neck. Her fingers ran through his hair as his tongue traced her sweet spot, making her let out a small breath. "Mm..."

Mac's hand slid over her side, slipping under her shirt and stopping at her breast and running his thumb over her nipple. "You in the mood?"

Ariana nodded. "For now."

Mac pulled her shirt up and over her head before tossing it to the floor and letting his tongue slide over her nipple as a thumb ran over her clit over her panties.

Ariana's hand slid down to his underwear, gripping his length in her hand softly and earning a moan from him.

As Mac's thumb slid over her, he let his lips trace down to her belly button for a few seconds before he slid her panties off.

She bit her lip, knowing exactly was he was going to do and the second his tongue reached her clit she let out a moan as she gripped the sheets of the bed. "Oh, baby..." she whispered.

He moved her legs apart a bit more and his tongue dipped into her sex a few times before making its way back to her clit.

"Baby... I'm ready."

"Don't let me stop you," he said pulling his mouth away from her as he replaced it with his thumb.

"No. I mean... I'm ready," she said. "I'm tired of just getting off together, I'm... I'm ready."

"Ready, ready?"

Ariana nodded. "I wanna make love to you, and I can't do that if we don't try it."

"Okay. You're gonna be on top though."

"What? Why? I've never been on top, why start now?"

"Because you can go at your own pace," he said, taking his underwear off before laying down and pulling her on top of him.

Ariana bit her lip, looking at him for a few seconds. "I'm nervous," she whispered.

"You're gonna be. If you change your mind just let me know."

"I don't --- I don't know what to do."

"I'll help, just relax. Are you good?"

Ariana nodded. "Yeah..."

"Okay. Slow and easy."

As she mounted herself above him, Mac helped guide himself to her entrance. "Whenever you're ready. Go slow. Don't hurt yourself."

Ariana let out a small breath, easing herself into him slowly. It took a few minutes to get herself all the way down but as soon as she did, she sat there for a few seconds to let herself adjust. "Are we really doing this?"

"If you're ready."

She nodded and a few seconds later started slowly rocking her hips.

"You good?"

"Mhm."

"If you're uncomfortable just let me know."

"Just gets better with time right?"

"Just like riding a Soul Cycle bike."
