Fight Left In Me ✔

Chapter 29 - Fire

When Jo wakes up, she is sore all over and tries to move, but Dart is fast asleep on top of her. She brushes his hair out of his face and smiles down at him. He looks so innocent, sleeping with his head on her chest. She plays with his hair and he stirs a little, his stubble rubbing against her skin and giving her goosebumps. 

She wiggles and he mumbles against her chest, sending a shiver down her spine. She looks up at the ceiling, begging whoever is willing to listen to give her a break. Her skin is still very sensitive and she feels every muscle in her body ache. She whispers: "Please." 

Dart wakes up slowly and hears her whispering. He realizes he is on top of her and pretends to be asleep, moving his head to the side slowly and sticking his tongue out to lick her breast. Jo shakes beneath him and lets out a sad moan. He pushes himself up and looks into her eyes. He sees her pain and desperation and rolls over on his back. "Good morning my love. How are you feeling?" 

Jo whispers: "Sore, shaky and electrified." 

He turns on his side and looks at her body in the sunlight, covered in marks old and new. Beautiful bruises where he sucked her skin, mixed with scars from less pleasant events in her life. He speaks softly: "I'm sorry if I was too rough last night. I was drunk on you, worse than I've ever been before." 

Jo turns on her side to look at him, biting her lip and clearly in pain. She says: "My sweet lover, there's no need to feel sorry. I was right there with you, happy to join you all the way. I am just slightly regretting it now, feeling sore all over. But it sure was a wild, satisfying ride. I think you should get your lip pierced for real." 

Dart lets out a sexy laugh and says: "I wonder where it is. It got lost somewhere during that wild ride. And I wanted you to wear it in bed next time." 

Jo smiles and says: "I'd like that."

Dart gets up and starts running the bath, sitting on the edge, as he looks over to the bed. Jo tries to stretch out, but closes her eyes in pain. He still feels a bit guilty, but watching her starts a tiny fire inside of him again. Their lovemaking marathon still hangs in the air and he is still affected by it too. 

When the bath is filled, he gets up to lift Jo from the bed and carefully lowers her into the water. She closes her eyes and relaxes the minute she feels the warm water on her skin. Dart carefully massages her shoulders and Jo lets out a soft moan. He tenderly washes her hair and body and while sitting at the edge of the bath, he lets his mind drift off. 

Jo opens her eyes and sees the happy, relaxed look on Dart's face. She moves closer to him and kisses him softly. He opens his eyes in surprise and she can see he was miles away. She runs her fingers through his hair and asks: "Where did you go?" 

He closes his eyes and smiles. "Not telling you. It was a happy place though."

Jo gets up and smiles at him: "Good. It looked like it was." 

Dart grabs a fluffy towel and wraps it around her, before lifting her out of the bath. "Hmm, are you going to carry me all day?" 

Dart laughs and says: "Like you'd let me. I would love to though." 

Jo shakes her head and says: "Not happening." 

Dart smells the skin of her neck and says: "Please just let me hold you for a tiny bit longer. You're so warm and you smell so nice." Jo smiles and snuggles up to him, sighing happily.

Eventually Jo gets dressed, while Dart showers and she gathers all the clothing and accessories spread across the room. She looks over to the bed, remembering last night and blushing instantly. But then something catches her eye at the end of the bed, the lip ring. She picks it up and puts it in her pocket with a smile.
