Love Me (Choni)

CHAPTER NINE, Night Terrors:

Toni pov:

Cheryl had fallen to sleep the moment her head had hit the pillow, the straining events of earlier obviously had taken a toll on her. I lay on my watching her chest rise and fall, tracing patterns gently on forearm, her skin was soft as silk. her beautiful features lit up by the moonlight that filtered through the canvas. I had hit the jackpot, she was perfect.

Then the tossing began, it started on her face, her brows furrowed. Her breath quickened and she moved side to side. Were these bad dreams a regular thing for her.

"No Toni-" she called out, still immerses by her nightmare. Oh god knowing I could be the source of this nightmare wrenched at my heart strings. I needed to wake the poor girl.

"Cher" I called loudly, making her eyelids flutter open to reveal panicked eyes.

"God, Toni" she practically whimpered as her deaprate hands grabbed my face. "I had a nightmare that you were gone"

"Your.. y-your still here," she stammered and darted forwards into my embrace. I held her close as her delicate figure began choking up tears.

"I will always be here Cher," I promised moving my hand to the area above her heart, the action seemed to soothe her somewhat.

"Don't leave me TT" She begged still clinging like a child onto the fabric of my T-shirt. At this request she began to hyperventilate once more, the thought of me leaving her seemed to panic her beyond thought.

I was Desperate to try and calm the red haired girl as I feared she was nearing panic attack territory. I resulted in pulling her into a light kiss. It was a mixture of my caring about her and the fact her nightmare had consisted of me leaving her in some way; I needed to prove to her I was still here and planned to stay forever.

I Immediately went to pull away after remembering my promise to this vulnerable girl to take it slow; but Cheryl just pulled me closer. I raised an eyebrow in surprise as I tried not to be overcome by awe. I used one of my hands to run my fingers gently through her amber red hair, my other hand resting on the floor of the tent as she deepened the kiss by opening her mouth. My pulse was getting out of control.

She was holding onto me so tightly I wondered what an earth her nightmare consisted of. It wasn't long before she ran her tounge over my bottom lip, encouraging me to part my lips which I willingly did.

When Cheryl's stationary  hand moved upwards to my chest, I felt butterflies swarm in my stomach. She placed her other hand behind my on the floor of the tent in a indication for me to lie down, I obeyed.

After our deep passionate kiss our breathing became quickly laboured. It was clear what type of territory we were slipping into here. For never being with a girl before Cheryl was extremely experienced but I wouldn't complain. Her taking control sent shivers throughout my body I needed to give her some form of approval. So when our kisses became sloppy and she moved her swollen lips to my neck, my mouth fell open and I let out a soft moan of approval.

The sound seemed to drive her on and her hand clutching my chest moved to cup my breast through my t-shirt and I instinctively reached across to grab her hair, wanting to communicate another way than verbally that I wanted her desperately.

"You are so hot," she murmured between kisses and I felt the heat from my cheeks race to another region.

"So are you," I returned flirtatiously, leaning forward and tugging at her t-shirt which she helped me get rid of.

Balancing myself on one of my hands, I begun to place cautious kisses along Cheryl's bare collarbones, almost wanting to moan at how delicate her skin felt against my lips. I made my way up towards her neck, where her skin got warmer. I smirked into the hickey, my efforts had already gotten her warm. Making my way up to her ear, I tenderly pulled the lobe and marvelled at the sharp breath she took in.
