in the stillness of remembering what you had and what you lost [Aidan]

[starchilde_lost]

Her sleep was, unsurprisingly, filled with nightmares and anxiety. The kinds of dreams she hadn't had in months where family accused her of letting them die and scores of enemies waited in the shadows to tear what little happiness she had apart. She ran through cemeteries and camps and ruined school halls and all the while she knew there was no hope, there was nothing she could do. She would awake, disoriented, crying and afraid and the only thing that kept her grounded was the feel of warm arms around her.

Aidan didn't leave. Every time she woke up he was there, even if she was pretty sure he was asleep, he was still there. And not once did she wake up thinking he was anyone else. It surprised the hell out of her, she thought at least once she'd think she was back on the Jammer with Korvus, but nope, she always knew it was him. She was glad for it, too even if she didn't want to think about why that was too much.

Eventually, she gave up on sleep, lying awake and watching the sun spill through the windows. At some point she'd need to get up, take a shower, eat something, but right now she just snuggled back against the warm body in her bed, glad it was there. Glad he was there.

Comments

She breathed deeply, her voice a sigh of pleasure, "Take your time." She liked the sound of that. She liked the feel of it, lips and warm air over her skin. A nice slow burn, long enough to maybe even make her forget the day before entirely.

[likesthestooges]

He kissed down her neck and along her collarbone before moving to the top of her chest. His hands ran along her sides, enjoying the curve of her narrow waist to her strong hips. Her skin was salty from the sweat of their exertion and he couldn't help but grin against her skin at the thought of how different this was from their first time.

Sliding his arms under her legs, Aidan kissed down between her breasts and along her taught stomach, growling happily as he did so.

[starchilde_lost]

Her skin tingled every place he touched her, lips burned every time he kissed her. She whispered his name over and over as he moved on her, giving a gasp as she felt his arms slide under her. Hands found his head, threading through his hair, cradling him as he kissed her. She knew, she remembered what came next and her body ached for him all over again.

[likesthestooges]

Aidan loved the sounds she was making, how his name sounded when she said it like that. If she kept that up, he'd gladly spend the rest of the day here with her.

His teeth teased her stomach lightly, loving how he could feel the muscles of her abs against his lips. God she had a great body. Grinning, he slid down lower on her body, tongue flicking out against her clit.

[starchilde_lost]

Rachel gasped, "Oh, God..." feeling the shock of the sensation between her legs. She was already aroused, sensitive from before, and the stimulation he gave her now was incredible. She was going to fall completely apart and she couldn't wait.

[likesthestooges]

Aidan hummed happily at the reaction he was getting from her. She was completely into it and was already incredibly sensitive to what he was doing. Hands sliding up her body, he continued what he was doing, focusing on her clit as he pressed himself more against her in excitement.

[starchilde_lost]

Running her fingernails lightly over his scalp, Rachel tried to keep her hips steady, tried to keep from arching against those talented and distracting lips. She mostly succeeded, groaning Aidan's name as little teasing shocks jolted through her. There was nothing about this that wasn't sexy as hell, the feel of his hand on her body, lips and tongue between her legs, the fact that she knew this wasn't going to be a one-time thing and it blocked out anything else she might be thinking or feeling.

Which was the whole point, right?

[likesthestooges]

Aidan slid one hand up to play with her breasts while he continued licking her. He could feel her getting closer to losing it and he wanted her to tip over that edge and enjoy making her feel absolutely amazing. There was something great about being getting your partner off while paying no attention to yourself, about being entirely selfless in the pleasure you were giving someone.

[starchilde_lost]

It was scary and exciting the way that he turned her on. Hard and fast and hot and aching and all the myriad feelings he made her feel, pushing past boundaries she didn't even know she had. Her body writhed against him and her hand came to cover the one he placed on her breast, taking it and holding it as she gasped again, "Aidan, my Aidan... oh, God please..."

Her body was its own thing, something she couldn't control and the ache in her center twisted until she broke, biting off a curse as she came hard, hips jerking as the waves of pleasure coursed through her.

[likesthestooges]

There was something about hearing "my Aidan" that sent a shiver down his spine and right then he didn't have the mental faculties to decide if it was a positive reaction or not.

Right then he was too busy focusing on her reactions to put much thought into it. He loved hearing her swear and feeling her body jerk in the pleasure. He continued what he was doing, not wanting to slow down until she had completely run the course and exhausted herself.

[starchilde_lost]

Rachel felt the aftershocks tease her and eventually leave her, leaving her gasping and weak. Still, she had a smile on her face as she threaded her fingers through the hand she held, pulling the fingers up to her lips so she could kiss the tips of them.

"You have the best worst effect on me, know that?"

[likesthestooges]

"That doesn't sound like a complaint to me," he said, kissing up her body before rolling onto his back and pulling her on top of him. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close.

"Maybe I should stay until you're so exhausted you can't keep your eyes open."

[starchilde_lost]

"Can't say that's a bad idea." She settled against him, letting him hold her as tight as he wanted to. It was comfortable, something else that surprised her a little. She was comfortable being with him like this.

Pressing a kiss against his collarbone, she ran her hand down his side, just enjoying the feel of his body. "If you don't have anywhere to be."

[likesthestooges]

"Mmmmmm, for you I'll clear my schedule," he told her, smiling at the kisses and the touch. He liked how she seemed to be learning, or at least getting more comfortable with things. This was definitely different than their last time together.

[starchilde_lost]

"Well, we have at least until lunch before anyone comes looking for me," she nibbled at his skin, "checking up on me. How would you like to spend the time?" Her hand drifted over his hip, trailing with the lightest of touches, just the tips of her fingers over his skin. Now that she had him here, now that he wasn't leaving she wanted... well, she wasn't sure what she wanted. Just Aidan, however they wanted to spend the time.

[likesthestooges]

"I'm sure we can make enough noise to warn off anyone that might come looking for you," he said, gasping a bit at her touch. The lightness of her fingers was a sharp contrast to their earlier heated touches.

"And I think what you're doing now is a good start."

[starchilde_lost]

"I think Doc would die of a heart attack if he showed up and found me in bed with a sexy vampire." Which was a thought that made her giggle a little as she continued to trail her fingers over his hip and up to his chest where she started to press lips and skin over his muscled body.

And she continued with light kisses and nips down his body. "Then he'd come back and haunt me."

[likesthestooges]

"I've got experience with ghosts," Aidan said with a laugh, arching his back as she kissed along him. The idea of someone coming in on them is amusing, and he's glad she was taking the entire thing lightly. Maybe she wouldn't if it actually happened, but at least she was able to joke about it. Considering how she was doing last night that was a definite improvement.

[starchilde_lost]

Aidan was the best kind of distraction, one Rachel felt good about losing herself in. Better than fighting, or drinking, although the long-term damage could be just as bad if it went sour. But she wasn't thinking about that now. Now there was just the taste of his skin against her lips and tongue as she kissed her way down his abdomen.

"Ghosts, hmm? On top of everything else, you're a ghostbuster?"

[likesthestooges]

Aidan chuckled a bit as her kissing tickled ever so slightly as she made her way down his stomach. He liked it though, the almost lazy way she was doing it, like they had all the time in the world.

"I roomed with one back home," he said.

[starchilde_lost]

Looking back up his body, she rolled her eyes a little. "Of course you did." She lived with her figurative ghosts, he lived with the literal ones.

But that was a train of thought she wanted to cut off before it ever left the station. She didn't want to think or talk about anything serious as she licked a trail along his well-defined hip-bone. Definitely was staying in shape, wasn't he? She did the same to the other-side, intentionally side-stepping what she bet he really wanted her mouth on about now.

[likesthestooges]

Aidan let out a groan as she expertly teased him, licking along his body. More and more he was loving this more relaxed, playful attitude that she seemed to have. This was something he definitely hoped he could get used to.

"You're evil, Rachel," he gasped.

[starchilde_lost]

"Not this year." She gave him another kiss low on his abdomen before she finally ran her tongue along the length of him, swirling the flat over his head. She did that a couple more times before she had mercy, and took him into her mouth, closing her hand around him so she could stroke as she roe and fell on him.

[likesthestooges]

"Ah, Rachel!"

Aidan gripped the sheets tightly and struggled to keep from arching his hips up hard. Her mouth felt amazing, especially after the teasing that she did before and it was almost too much to take.

[starchilde_lost]

That was what she wanted, him focused on what she was doing so she could focus on doing it. It probably wasn't elegant, but she had enough experience to know how to make it feel good. Her lips and head fell on him, her tongue wrapping and licking him as she pleasured him.
