Cherreads

Chapter 18 - Chapter Eighteen

(tw: steamy chapter ahead ;> )

I woke up to the feeling of warmth and safety. I felt the caress of Val beside me, our arms touching lightly in what I slowly realised was her room. I blinked and turned my body over to face her. She was sleeping soundly with sections of black hair curling over her brows and into her eyes.

Val looked so much more at peace when she was asleep. Her wine red lips were soft and tempting.

I wanted to be close to her. My heart was beating nervously. The warmth of her skin begged my full attention. I inched closer to her and hummed at the feeling of our legs meeting through the sheets. Under normal circumstances this boldness I felt would have withered away and died to be replaced with embarrassment. Only my mind was in a stranger place than usual.

I didn't want to be embarrassed or nervous or stray away from her touch. I wanted to be wrapped in it. I reached out and traced the angular cut of her jaw with my fingertips. Her dark lashes fluttered but didn't open. A curiosity was building in me and I was losing the willpower to ward it away. 

I let my fingers flutter to her lips and I rubbed my thumb across them. I went to pull away when I felt her hands grip my waist and pull my body closer to her. Val met my eyes sleepily, with the same lazy bedroom look she adopted every morning. 

"Sorry, I jus-"

Her hands were warm and firm as she pulled me closer to her. She ducked her head down to my neck and pressed a gentle kiss there. I gasped audibly and she traced her soft lips higher to the skin just below my ear, placing another open mouthed kiss. 

My skin was tingling every place she touched and a moan escaped me. I blushed furiously, eyes widening from the embarrassment at the sound I made. Val held my chin and made me look at her. Her hazel eyes lapped across my lips while her hand slipped up from my waist to the small of my spine underneath the thin fabric of my shirt. 

She had abandoned her usual hungry, longing looks. 

Her eyes were possessive as they lapped at every inch of my skin, burning with an unspoken need. She gently lowered my chin. I licked my bottom lip and stared up at her through my lashes. 

When she didn't sense any hesitation from me, Val pressed her lips onto mine. Her kiss was hungry, eliciting pleasure down my spine as I arched my back into her touch. When she felt me press into her, Val groaned with a growing frustration. Her fingers clasped at my skin and slipped down to grip the bottom of my thigh ravenously. I leaned into her kiss, sucking at her bottom lip and relishing in the way her tongue got needier in response to me.

She pulled back for a moment, searching my eyes for something. I could tell she was nervous and it made me feel bolder. I slipped my hand up to the dark of her curls at the base of her neck and gripped them. Val moaned, eyes rolling as I used my grip to pull her back to me and kissed her again. The smell of pinecones and the woods soaked my mind. Something hungry in me was satisfied to know she tasted just as good as she looked. I rolled over so I was on top of her, straddling her and letting her tongue slip into my throat.

"Liana-"

I moved my lips away from hers, earning an impatient look from her until I lowered my head to her neck. I sucked at the skin on her relentlessly as she moaned my name. Her hands gripped the fat of my thighs hard and her full chest was heaving from need.

I bit her neck playfully and her back arched off the bed. Growing unbearably frustrated, Val sat upright and grabbed my hair, forcing me back to her lips. She slipped her other hand down to the growing heat between my legs and I moaned into her mouth, surrendering to her touch. 

Her fingers started to curl into me through my shorts and my mind went blank from desire.

"Fuck, Val-"

She whispered lustfully into my ear and started to guide my hips so I was moving against her fingers. By the time she spoke I was dripping wet and panting, rocking my hips needily.

"Say my name."

My mind was hazy and I could feel myself throbbing through my shorts. Right when I started to understand her command, her fingers slipped my clothes to the side and pressed inside of me. I moaned, my throat vibrating as I started to feel my eyes roll back.

"Val-"

She pushed deeper inside of me, inserting three fingers and still guiding my hips to shake against her as I started to feel heat building up in my stomach. I was riding her needily, throbbing around her fingers with animalistic moans filling the air. Val playfully licked at my ear and whispered, voice sounding hoarse and gravely from her own pleasure.

"Cum for me, Liana."

When she placed her lips back over mine and bit into my bottom lip needily, I felt a shiver all the way down to my toes as I felt myself coming onto her. My legs started to shake from the pleasure and my mind had become completely racked with release. I collapsed against her, feeling her arms wrap around me and the feather light kisses she awarded me with as we both leaned back against the bed.

Morning light illuminated a supreme satisfied look in her eyes as she stared down at me with admiration. After a moment of holding me in her arms, she started to lick her fingers clean and I screamed, face turning bright red.

"Let me get a towel or something."

Val teased me with her eyes while I turned a glaring shade of tomato red and practically ran away from her to the bedroom to try to find a spare hand towel. When I brought the wool item back to her she took it gratefully and wiped herself clean. Then she pulled me by the waist and kissed my cheek softly.

I met her eyes and she offered a flirtatious but seemingly well-intentioned suggestion.

"We should shower."
