This has got to be one of my absolute favorite scenes. It was a persistent plotbunny that would just. not. go. away. I started it about a year ago but it took me awhile to finish because I had my own stuff to work through at the same time, but I'm so glad I did finish it. I'm stronger now for it :)
Warning: Explicit sexual content. But really, what else do you expect from me by now?
Title: Feels Like Today (yes, named for the Rascal Flatts song. It just fits.)
Timeline: This scene came to me while I was writing Chapter 5, but chronologically, this would fall sometime between the middle and end of Chapter 4.
Setting: After a teary departure from Los Angeles, Elle and Elijah arrive in Hawaii...
"Guess we're here." Elijah said, parked beside Elle as they entered the hotel room.
"Yeah." Elle replied, obviously less than enthused. She turned away from him, trying not to think of Nevan and start crying all over again. "Aw, Elle..." Elijah said as he saw fresh tears forming in her eyes. "Come on, what is it that you're always saying? You're not supposed to control your feelings, you're supposed to validate them?" He asked as he drove around in front of her.
"You know what I'm feeling." Elle sniffled. "I can't help it, I miss Nevan." She whispered, before breaking down in tears again.
"I know; I miss him too." Elijah sighed. "But what can we do? We're here now. We'll just have to make the best of it."
"Yeah, we're halfway across the Pacific from him." Elle said, exhaling shakily and trying to compose herself again, blinking back the remaining tears.
"It's okay. It'll be okay." He drove forward and kissed her lightly. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, maybe it was too soon... Elijah thought with some guilt. It wasn't like he'd forced her to accept the invitation to the conference, but after she'd spent half of the flight in tears he wondered if it really was too much for her to be this far away from the baby for this long. To his surprise, she suddenly returned the kiss with a passion that he wasn't expecting. The two continued to kiss passionately as Elle pushed him back farther into the center of the room onto the plush blanket. He watched as she stopped kissing him momentarily and drove beside him.
"Make the best of it, hmm?" She asked in a low voice, and gave him a hard push with her tire before he could respond.
"Elle- whoa, hey, okay..." Before he knew it she had completely flipped him over and his world was upside down. One second you're crying and the next you want sex, you really never cease to surprise me... Elijah thought, growing more excited by the second. "Elle..." He started to say, but trailed off as he felt her tires on his undercarriage, fondling his ...tequipment, and expertly teasing him erect.
"Yes, dear?" She asked, sliding the inside of her tire along his length, before moving closer to him and touching her lips to the tip of his erection. He responded with only a moan, the sensations overwhelming his ability to speak. He kicked his tires, hoping she would continue but instead felt her ascend his frame, finding a comfortable position with her tires resting just in front of his. She was a heavier car than he was but he welcomed the extra strain on his frame after such a long absence. He reached up with his front tires, desperate to feel more of her as she lowered herself onto him, and pulled her down farther. She gave a soft moan as he did this, before taking his front tires in hers.
I can't believe it, even just this feels so good- oh Lij you have no idea how I've missed this... Elle's thoughts trailed off as his length filled her completely. She braced herself against his front axles as she started to move in an up and down fashion, mindlessly gyrating against him as her movements became more pronounced, eliciting another moan of approval from her lover.
The next few moments passed without a word from either of them, all that could be heard was the occasional moan or whimper of anticipation. Elijah could tell she was nearing her own climax as her enthusiasm intensified, which wasn't making it any easier for him to hold out for much longer when it came to his own. A few more seconds was all it took to send him over the edge. "I... I'm gonna-" he gasped, breaking the silence between them, as he tightened his grip on her front tires.
"Ah-Elijah! Oh..." Elle started to say at the same time, her pace quickening even more as she let out an ecstatic scream. She collapsed onto his frame, breathing heavily. "I so needed that... I don't care what the circumstances are, let's never go that long without having sex again..." She trailed off, resting against him.
"Yeah... it was too long..." He agreed, caressing the sides of her frame with his front tires. Chrysler, that was good... she's right, we gotta find a way to do this more often...
"I love you so much." Elle said, pressing her underside against his as she embraced him. "I miss being alone with you."
"What, you mean because of the baby?"
"Well, the baby, then you and work... just everything." She said, "It's just been so hectic."
"I miss you too, you know." Elijah said, affectionately putting one of his tires behind hers and wiggling it back and forth, tickling her.
"Elijah... " Elle started to say, before she was overcome with giggles. "Stop it, you're going to make me fall off you!" She playfully swatted away his tire and he relented, leaving her to stay on top of him.
"Wanna do it again?" He asked, breaking the silence.
"Okay."
I've heard every album, listened to the radio… wait that's not Rascal Flatts, that's Taylor Swift. Hopefully I'm getting to see both this summer! Anyway, I'm sure some of you are like whoa because these are original characters, but it just seemed like the right thing to do creatively at the time. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it, all trials and tribulations included.
