30 Misfortune

I awoke in the warmest embrace that I had ever experienced. My face was pressed against Gerard's' chest, his indulgently spicy aroma enticing my nostrils.

His hands wrapped around my body like a suit of armours and I didn't want to be let out. And his head was resting above mine.

If this was heaven I was glad if I had died in my sleep.

I pressed my face closer, deeply inhaling his scent trying to commit it to my memory. The hint of his chest hair tickled my nose as I sneakily accessed the inside of his shirt. Suddenly the mass of muscle moved and collapsed on top of me.

Sweet moment ruined...

And bloody hell he was heavy!

'Gerard.' I choked out struggling to breathe. I tried to shove him away but to no avail.

I shoved and pushed hard. Was he awake and making fun of me? The soft snores and the limp hand proved me wrong to some extent. He appeared to be fast asleep and it looked like he didn't have an inclination to wake.

How the hell did this man wake up last night ready to fight off an intruder and slept so deeply now, that I was practically being asphyxiated under him? Some sort of mechanism with a burly voice in his head maybe,' huh that's a threat! Wake! Kill it! Huh, that's an Emily, sleep. Choke it!'

I groaned and tried once more when the idea struck. Well, actually, it first prodded my private parts then the idea struck.

I felt the evil grin split my lips as I wiggled to prop my leg on his hip adjusting the angle. Then having enough room I reached for him.

He groaned and sniffled but didn't budge.

Oh, come on!

I kept going.

'Are you serious? Other men would have lunged by now!'

'And you would know that how?' I stilled at his reply. He didn't sound groggy. So he HAD been awake. Sucker... What was he doing suffocating me like that?

'Keep going, Em. I like it.' he whispered in my ear and rolled his hips humming appreciatively.

Of course, you would. I have hands as soft as a baby's arse!

That just seriously came out reaaaaaly wrong. Come on, Foxy! Argh!

You know what I meant, right?

Pushing that disturbing thought I focused on the task at hand. Well, there was something else in the hand so focusing on the task was the hard part.

'You like that, huh?' he grunted in my ear before he trailed kisses down my jaw and neck. Heat surged through my body at his words as I couldn't help but feel aroused while hearing his soft moans and grunts. He was so close, so warm and so... hard. It would take but a moment for him to bring relief to my aching belly.

'What about this?' I asked pushing my hips upwards and pulling my hand out of the way. When our private parts touched there was nothing separating us, only the thin sheen of his mind telling us not to go through with this. A guttural groan escaped him and he seized above me. All of his muscles turned into stone in a blink of an eye.

I felt the rise and fall of his chest on my own as he shifted to brace his weight in one arm and cradled my face with his palm. I looked into his eyes, both hues had darkened and almost imitated one another. His control was impaired, I knew it. It wouldn't be long before he broke.

'Gerard. Make me yours. Now.' I whispered close to his lips. Fuck this was going to happen. I could see it in his eyes as they penetrated so deep in me I thought he saw my soul. He would not stop.
