The Sequoias

Chapter 19

I was dreaming peacefully when I felt lips on my skin. At first, it startled the hell out of me, then I remembered whose those were lips attached to and wrapped myself around her. "Go to sleep," I mumbled still quite very asleep myself as I continued to tangle us.

He wrapped himself around me but didn't really stir. I guess I would just have to try harder. I continued nibbling my way to his ear. "Can't sleep. Need help." My lips were right against his ear and my voice was breathy.

"Mmmm. With sleep?" It was an honest question from a sleeping mind that was just starting to stir without thought. I rubbed my feet against hers and rubbed her back gently.

"Mmm-hmmm." I pulled back to meet his eyes. "Pretty please. My mind won't be quiet." I bit my lip and rubbed his feet with mine.

I opened my eyes to find her looking at me with that look on her face. "It won't quiet your mind but for a little while. Whatever is on it will still be there after." I smiled and kissed her. The half of me that was awake was more than happy to oblige the request, the other half was still mostly sleeping which made employment and use of a filter impossible.

I knew he was right, but I didn't care. I wanted the distraction. Needed it actually. I busied his mouth with my own, not giving him a chance to speak. I only stopped to breathe. I only needed to get him started.

She kissed me awake. I wanted to ask what time it was. I wanted to ask what was on her mind I wanted to talk about a lot of things, but she had something else in mind and my body was happy to give that to her and talk later. I let my hands roam her back and returned her kisses with enthusiasm but I kept it all civil. This was her rodeo. I was just along for the ride.

He was giving me absolute control and I got lost in his lips. I moaned his name and stripped out of my tank top. He was only wearing pajama pants. I returned my lips to his. I gently rolled him to his back and laid my body over his, never breaking the kiss. When I needed to breathe, I pulled back. "These are in the way." I pulled at the leg of his pants.

I worked on getting my pants out of her way and only succeeded in getting one leg out and my body exposed. The kisses were driving me crazy as they often do. I growled a moan. "There."

I pulled him to a sitting position against the pillows, slipped out of my pants and panties and straddled his waist. My mind was occupied with taking care of us and I didn't have time to think. I stroked him slowly a few times and he hardened a little more in my hand. I moved into a position to allow him to slide into me. I moaned loudly as he filled me. I sat still for just a moment taking in the feeling. I started a slow rocking of my hips as I rode him. I giggled as the one side of his pajama pants tickled the inside of my thigh.

She giggled I wondered why for a moment then didn't care as I got lost in what she was doing to me. I put my hands on her hips but didn't try to change her pace or rhythm just let her ride as she wanted to.

My hands gripped his shoulders and my lips found his as I continued to ride him slowly. I was using the muscles in my hips and thighs to guide my motions as I tucked my big toes under his calves. I was so completely lost in our physical love, that my brain was shut off and I was just feeling. I felt my body grip his, and I felt his swell inside of me. I felt all the points where our bodies touched. I broke the kiss. "I need to hear you say my name." The request even struck me as odd, but I needed to hear it.

I smiled and gave her her name softly before kissing us senseless. I was more than ready to let go. I was just waiting for her and barely holding on."

My name leaving his lips was the most beautiful sound. It gave me the encouragement I needed. I sped up the pace just a bit and guided his thumb to my clit. I was absolutely ready to let go and did so in blinding fashion. I collapsed against his chest and attempted to catch my breath. "I love you so much."

"I love you, Lizzie." It was odd that she asked me to say her name it struck me as odd but I let it go. I held her for a short while, just rubbing her back the rolled us to our sides. "What was that all about?"

I sighed. "Nerves. Nervous energy." I drew patterns on his chest with my fingertip. "I am just nervous about meeting your mom. What if she doesn't like me?"

"So that prompted you to ask me to say your name?" I looked at her skeptically. "I know that feeling. Mom will love you. But I have been saying that with no change. It's okay to be nervous."

"Oh. I have no idea where that came from. I just really needed to hear it from you." I met his eyes. "I know I am probably silly, but it's just such an important thing. I know how important family is to you."

"Silly or no, family is important. You are right. Still, I maintain. Mom will be happy that I am happy and she will love you. She'll see the part of you that draws me to you and keeps me here and she'll understand why I feel so lucky that you chose me." I finished the statement with a slow and loving kiss full of the hope for a future together that willed my heart. "I love you."

"Mmm. I love you too." I snuggled into him feeling better than I had outside of the forest all weekend. "You know just how to make me feel better. I yawned and closed my eyes, drifting easily off to sleep.
