Twenty Two

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to calm down and work my way out of Lukas's arms, not entirely sure if I was happy that he had the forethought to stop before we went any further. 

He had smartly led me out of the bedroom and onto the back porch before I could change my mind about waiting, head still hazy from his scent being so strong all around me in his room. He pulls out a patio chair for me around the beautiful built-in porch table before opening a freestanding umbrella and positioning it to keep the sun off of my porcelain skin. He's so thoughtful in all the right ways.

I feel exposed.... a little shy.... a little nervous, but safe and cared for as he holds my hand and strokes the inside of my palm with his thumb once he sits next to me, leaving a single seat between us.

I can feel the shyness vibrate across our link and it makes me want to drag him back into the bedroom and see how long it takes that shyness to turn into sweaty pants as he writhes underneath me... but now is not the time, even if he does still have traces of his make-out haze plastered on his face.

"I've never smoked in front of you before..." Aurie murmurs softly before taking a deep breath and bringing the blunt to his pouty lips and snagging it there while he uses one hand for the lighter, and the other hand to shield the flame.  In one fluid motion, he quickly draws in and the blunt flares to life, and with a puff of smokey breath he puts out the flame at the end.

He's definitely done this before.

He breathes deeply, sucking in a long pull off of the blunt and holding it before offering it to me with a single eyebrow raised.

I take it and he finally exhales. It shouldn't be so sexy watching the smoke leave his lips, but it does make my thoughts wander as I hit the blunt, just two little pulls before handing it back to him. 

There is no hesitation as he takes another big draw, holding it just like before, and then without bothering to take in actual oxygen between hits he exhales and takes another deep pull before offering it back to me.

"It tastes good. Kind of like cherry pie and lemon meringue."

Lukas's rumble of a laugh catches me off guard and I end up exhaling the rest of my smoke in one go.

His smile at me is big and goofy as he takes a hit, "Maybe because it's a hybrid of the two. Can you really differentiate strains?"

My face heats up as I snatch the blunt away from him and take my turn after nodding, "Cricket and I went to a tasting that Dox hosted. He set out a couple of different strains and we smoked them one right after the other. Kind of like a whiskey flight. After that kind of thing, it's easy."

Lukas shakes his head and smiles at me before warning, "Go easy. It's got a really high THC content."

Aurie flat out laughs at me when I tell him to take it easy and takes 4 hits one right after the other, not bothering to actually breathe in between them.

Before I can even question him he lets his wall drop completely from our bond and it's like being sucker-punched in the belly. By a M.A.C. truck.  There are three different spots that feel like they're being stabbed but with dull superheated daggers, and the rest of me was tight and aching, my abdomen visibly rolling with the sheer force of Aurie's cramps and I can feel a sheen of sweat start on my forehead as I go clammy, and I know it's just a shadow of what he's actually feeling.

No wonder he had been so shy about being linked, why even though he had let me in this past week, he never fully dropped his walls.

Just as quickly as he shows me he takes it away, erecting a light barrier between us and it leaves me panting with relief as he passes the blunt to me, which I eagerly draw off of.
