The Naked Truth

Chapter 4 - How do we get out?

It took some time before they broke off their hug. It was so comforting to be this close, to feel the warmth of each other's skin and nearly listen to the mad beating of each other's heart. But eventually, Marinette reluctantly pulled away and then smiled softly at Adrien's pout and gave him a quick stroke to his cheek.

"Any longer, Minou, and we would have melted together," she whispered.

He pouted again. "Would it be such a bad thing?"

"Of course not, and I'm regretting my decision; I miss your warmth already." She shuddered and hugged her waist. "But hugging each other, although very nice, won't help us getting out of here. And Paris needs us."

She saw him bumming his way behind her and sighed. But when she felt his arms wrapping around her and his chest firmly resting on her back, she couldn't help but whimper in pleasure. He was so warm.

"You can't think when you're cold, and neither can I. We can think and talk while I hug you."

Marinette sighed again, but her lips curled up in a smile as she turned her head to glance at him. He was giving her such a lovesick look that she felt as if an electroshock was shaking her to her core. Her heart started pounding into her throat and she felt a weird feeling of wetness coming from between her legs.

Instinctively, she shifted her body closer to him, and by doing this she rubbed herself against him, searching for the most skin to skin contact and enjoying his warmth.

That was when she started feeling something hard pushing against her bum. She felt him stiffening and literally twisting his body on the side, but without breaking the hug, and the hardness disappeared. In her mind, she wondered what she had just experienced. She had felt it already once when he had hugged her earlier. Furthermore, when she dared give him a quick glance, she noticed that his face looked the reddest that she had ever seen it. Why? She wasn't entirely sure, but she had read a few books and a few comics herself, and she started having some ideas as to what that could be. Her body responded immediately to what her head was telling her. Her breathing quickened and she had to break eye contact and look down, as heat flushed to her face. He buried his face in her shoulder and hair and she opened her eyes wide.

"Are you purring, Chaton?" she asked, deciding cautiously to not inquire about the hardness she had felt before. Even thinking about it was giving her shivers, making her catch her breath and making the wetness problem between her legs become even more problematic. Hearing Adrien's content 'aha' caused her to laugh softly. "You're enjoying this, aren't you? Such a touchy and needy kitty." She reached with her index finger to scratch his chin, and he didn't say anything but hugged her tighter. Marinette couldn't say that she too didn't enjoy the contact, especially when partnered with the nearly cathartic feeling of the purr. It was so calming and maybe she needed it as well.

She stayed quiet for a few extra minutes, deeply enjoying the closeness, but then she decided it was time to face the problem and find a solution. Without moving and without bothering to ask Adrien to break the hug (as she knew he would have refused), she started talking to herself.

"So the question is: how are we getting out of here?" she wondered, not really expecting an answer.

"The akuma victim was talking about her fiancé being a cheater," said Adrien's voice from next to her ear, causing her to shiver. He hugged her tighter.

Marinette smiled and softly stroked his arm, wrapped around her midsection. "That's right. She said that her fiancé had cheated and lied to her and that now he had no more secrets from her. Since she's been betrayed by her fiancé, maybe to get out of here we need to act like a couple?" She couldn't help it, she felt all blood flushing to her face as her heart started beating faster.
