When Love Bites

18 BigTrouble in Paradise

Chapter 18 BigTrouble in Paradise

The next couple of days passed like normal. Well mostly normal. He wasn't interested in sex at all it seemed, but I supposed that would pass. That lead to some alone time for me that he didn't need to know about and some long runs. He dove head first into work and I waited for some to roll in. It seemed like his communication skills were getting worse but we were just getting over a fight. I wasn't ready to start that again. A text response every now and again would be nice. I was also nervous about Valentine's Day. Was I supposed to get him a card or a gift? I didn't want to disappoint him.

I settled into a quiet routine and spent a lot of time writing, which took me away from the house and studio often and left me quite engrossed in what I was doing. I accidentally took a social media hiatus as I shut down all but the minimum communication with the outside world. I missed messages forgot to hit send more often than not. I took a break from everything except 'I love you' and sleeping beside Lizzie and snuggling in as close as I could get without inciting anything. Eventually, the depression lifted. It was getting close to another workshop, one of my favorites outside of Aca. The auditions were all in, the notifications sent, everything was good again. I woke up early the day before I was supposed to leave and simply watched Lizzie sleeping. I woke her with a soft kiss as I trailed my fingers down her shoulder. "Sweetie, please wake up."

My skin tingled under his touch. "Hmm?"

"Please, wake up," I whispered against her ear as I moved her hair away from her neck. "Please?"

"Am I dreaming?" I opened my eyes and smiled at him.

"No. I don't think so." I kissed her shoulder and then her neck as I curled into her back. My hips moved me closer and pressed me against her butt I moved my hands down her side. "Please, wake up." For once I was the hungry, needy, greedy one.

I felt all of him as he pressed against me. I moaned his name low in the back of my throat as his fingers traveled my side. I turned in his arms and faced him, pressing my body tight against him. "Good morning handsome", I purred, my eyes finding his.

"Good morning, Beautiful. Can I make love to you?"

I leaned in and kissed him softly. "Please do."

"Thank you." I smiled, then leaned in to kiss her. I managed not to rush, though my need felt urgent. "Are you busy today?"

"Mmm. I am not. Are we making this an all day thing?"

"I'd like to make love an all-day priority today. But I think I might want to get out of bed at some point."

"Hmmm. Out of bed is overrated. But I suppose food is important. Right now, I just need you."

"Yes." It was an answer to all three statements and all the more I said before Kissing her until I was senseless and completely tangled in her, my hands in her hair, hers in mine pulling lightly and all manner of need filling me. I rolled her gently and made sure she was ready then silently asked for permission before filling her body with mine. It was heaven, and intense and more than I could handle, but I held on until we were lost in each other's names.

I was in an absolute state of bliss as we tumbled over the edge together. It had only been a few days, but it felt like it had been forever. Our bodies worked together like well-oiled machines until we were both quivering messes, unable to speak anything other than each other's names. I held onto him for dear life, not wanting to come down.

I took a deep breath when I could and changed position. It would be a while before I came back down so I slipped behind her and moved her where I needed her. I put my hand on her hip and slowly slipped back into her. I listened to her cues and set a solid pace, steady and deep.
