Cascading Empire

Chapter 29

                   Saphire panted heavily as he could feel Eric rest his head on Saphire's shoulder, giving her light kisses from her neck to her jawbone. "Eric.. that's enough. Let's stop," Saphire whined on their third round and Eric lifted himself up to stare at Saphire's ruined state. Her mouth was slightly gaped open for breathe while her cheeks flushes a deep red compared to her darker skin. Saphire's arms were wrapped around his neck, sweat dripping down from her chin to the crevice of her chest. She was sitting on top of him, sweating profusely while Eric grabbed her waist, and slowly moved up her before slamming her down. 

                Eric chuckled, before his hands slowly traveled up to her ribs, while he lowered his head to give a kiss on her chest, and leaving a mark. "I'm just helping you practive your stamina.." He laughed before flipping them down onto the bed, Eric staring down at her lovely image, and seeing her give an unsure smile. "You're going to break my back," She whined and once again, he gave a laugh, but more so sarcastic this time. "I missed you." From this clingy response, Saphire sighed before leaning her head with his while he thrusted once more with a low grunt, making her furrow her brows. "This is only two more round than the first time we've done this.. you're fine.." He laughed, sweaty arms trapping Saphire as she let out a little whimper. "Two times too many.." He gave in and kissed her before dropping on top of her, his hips stuttering a bit before Saphire sighed in relief.  

               "...Let's take a shower." 

      

              "Ah... I said that we.. we would take a shower! I didn't mean another round!" Saphire shouted in the bathroom, gripping tightly at the wall while he held her waist up, her head lowered while slow gasps escaped her lips, eyes tightly shut. Eric gave an evil laugh, the feeling of happiness truly never leaving his body before he gripped her chin, forcing her to turn around and he gave her a deep kiss. "Your face while doing this is lovely," He smirked and Saphire sighed, "... Spare my back.." 

                   May stared at the ceiling of her room, feeling a little guilty for making Callex sleep on the couch after helping her with survival for a whole night. She turned her head, seeing it was 3 a.m in the morning. 'Maybe.. I should just give him a blanket.. or.. on the bed? I feel bad.. Ah geez.' May finally shuffled out the bed, carrying her blanket before creeping around the room, to the couch Callex was sleeping on and stared gently down at his face. His words rang through her mind, 'Do you not see me as a man?' May tilted his head in confusion. She knew what he meant, but she didn't want to think too much about it. Her left arm carried the blanket while her right arm laid limply on her side. 

                    She picked up the blanket to her max height, before draping it over Callex, silence enveloping the room as she tried to fix the blanket to cover his height. She siighed, thinking of how it was inconvenient to be half paralyzed currently. 'We'll probably have to take poisoning prevention lessons soon..' She though while staring at his sleeping face. She moved closer and patted his head, running her hands though the hair on his side as she noticed something and moved closer, giggling. "Oh.. he has a beauty mark.." She looked down at the mark, and kept running her hand through his hair as Callex's face flinched a bit. His eyes slowly opened, seemingly lit up with the pale moonlight while his brown eyes seemingly glowed. 

                  ".. Taking advantage of someone while sleeping.. hm?" His deep, groggy voice resounded around the room and May was startled for a second, hand still in his hair while she was crouched down touching his soft strands. "... I.. Sorry," She said before standing up and Callex grabbed her right arm. Not feeling any sensation, she was suddenly shocked when she felt her body jerk back without knowing that Callex had held her right arm. "I didn't say you couldn't.." He whispered before pulling her back, making her sit on the couch while he moved back for more room. 

                    Reading his lips, she answered, ".. Are you in the right mind?" Callex closed his eyes and covered it with his right arm, his left arm grabbing her right arm while May stared silently down at him. "Callex.. let me go back to my bed, I'm tired," May said after a while and Callex didn't respond. Feeling a little annoy and tired, her left arm grabbed her right arm before trying to pull her hand back, Callex's grip never lessening. "Are you pretending to sleep?" 

                    Callex removed his arm and May stood up abruptly, before she was pulled in again, and wrapped around in a hug, lying down with Callex. "Cale, I swear, let me go sleep in my bed," May said, a bit more agitated now and Callex didn't respond once again, his breath tickling May's hair. "Callex-" May looked up, surprised to see Callex's face so close to hers. "Um.." 

                   Callex finally opened his eyes, staring down at May, with his face extremely close to hers. "You really don't see me as a man?" Callex asked while May focused on his lips to understand what he had said. She shook her head, "I said I trust you." Callex's eyebrows furrowed, his already cold face showing much more signs of displeasure while he pursed his lips and his pupils seemed to shrink. In a split second, Callex hovered over May's body and moved closer down to her trapped body. ".. Even with this?" May laughed, before pushing trying to push him down, smiling, "Haha. Let me go sleep." If other people did this, she would've been so uncomfortable and pulled her gun out, but it was Callex.  

                 Callex smiled politely also before dropping down onto her, weighing her down, "I'm good." 

                After a few moments, May tried to push Callex away but sighed and gave up, ".." 

               Three a.m. truly was the Devil's time.
