Ray's Skills: Kissing
"I'm going to kiss you now, alright?" His words were soft and nervous and brought a smile to her face.
The laziness of the Sunday morning flooded away from her, a rushing surging urgency taking its place. Suki leaned forward praying for nothing to interrupt this possibly perfect moment. Ian and Gabe had a way of destroying moments as perfect as this. The wind picked up tossing her hair around like he seemed to like.
His mouth was inches from hers, she could feel the heat of his skin, "Should I take your silence as a yes?" She felt the laugh in his voice, it rushed against her skin and rested somewhere in her heart.
"Shut up." She whispered hoping that maybe her words had the same sort of electric effect on him. Her fingers twisted in the soft smooth fabric of his shirt and pulled him as close as she dared.
His fingers rubbed softly at the skin of her neck. Even when he had declared that he would kiss her his touch was teasing and it drove her mad.
Then finally, what seemed like an aching eternity later his lips were on hers.
Barely touching her, soft, electric, burning.
The kiss was sweet and soft like the breeze rushing around them.
She smiled into his mouth laughing softly as he pulled away.
"Hey, your supposed to be breathlessly amazed at my kiss you know." he mocked hurt but the joke didn't reach his eyes. They were dark and moody and hurt.
"Then maybe you should try again?" Suki's voice was lower then usual, deepened by his affectionate action.
He said nothing, just smirked and leaned towards her. She leaned in to him taking a deep hopefully subtle breath readying herself for another tender contact. His hand moved her hair away from her face and neck and on its way back it traced a line down her neck. The slow smooth movements of his fingers twisted something inside her, it quickened her heartbeat. she didn't know what he was doing and she didn't really think it mattered as long as he was touching her.
He moved in and touched his mouth to her neck, tasting the skin there feeling her racing heartbeat. An incredibly soft and quiet noise escaped Suki's mouth, not quite a sigh not quite a gasp.
Ray moved his mouth barely away from her skin and moved up away from the base of her neck and kisses her again. He lifts away from her skin once more, incredibly close and yet achingly far away, he whispers against her ,"perhaps i need to work up to your mouth." the words are hot against her skin.
Suki does her best to steady herself, biting her lip and staring at the picnic basket he packed. It takes every ounce of strength in her to not fall into him, to let him do what ever he wants. The soft, hot, teasing of his mouth against her skin is only intensified by the slow movements of his hand on the other side of her neck, rubbing the skin there.
Suki doesn't think shes wanted anyone's mouth on hers as much as she wants Rays in her entire life. Surely this is the first boy she wanted this badly that wasn't fictional or a movie star. As Rays hot wet mouth closes on her jawline she rethinks that. She has never wanted that precious intimate contact with anyone real or imaginary as much as she wants Ray. The tightening twisting coil of anticipation resting in her gut is a declaration of her need.
"Ray?" she whispered not sure what she wants to say or if she wants to interrupt.
He moves slowly away from her skin leaving a cold painful empty feeling in her skin she didn't think possible.
"Yeah?" he asks taking a sip of her forgotten soda.
"I think I'm sufficiently breathless and amazed." she whispered shifting uncomfortably on the blanket.
"Oh?" Ray smirked raising an eyebrow and watching as Suki reached out for him. She grabbed a hold of the front of his shirt and pulled herself to him.
"Yes." she kissed him, mouth on mouth, she didn't think her heart could take anymore teasing slow contact. It needed to be hot, fast possibly even rough and definitely right now.
She pushed into him bruising her lips, relishing in the heat as he wrapped his arms around her. A band of comfortable, safe heat across her back.
His mouth moves against hers slowly forcing her to slow to his heartbreaking pace, its slow and it feels like shes on fire.
Burning and important.
In the back of her mind shes amazed at how good he is at building a slow intense burn in her. A couple of weeks ago she would have been sure that Ray was the type to be rough and self serving. To shove his tongue down her throat and put his hands under her skirt but she couldn't have been more wrong if she had thought the grass was purple.
The slow movement of his mouth against hers drives something in her chest crazy and he has one hand on the bottom of her skirt, half on the fabric half on her leg and she is appalled at how desperately she wants his skin on hers.
His mouth opens and with the way he has locked her lips against his hers opens as well. His tongue moves into her mouth stroking and she gasps softly into his mouth.
His movements are soft and gentle and if she wasn't so afraid she'd think that they were loving.
A sweet desperation settles in his actions, in the way his skin feels against her own.
Suki pulls away from him kissing him softly as she moves away from him. She's glad to see that he's red in the face and his chest is moving quickly.
He looks flustered and almost ashamed of himself, "I'm sorry, too much?"
The reality of the matter is that it wasn't enough and that is why she had to stop. Suki settles back on her heels on the picnic blanket and clears her throat. She can still feel his hands on her body, his hot kisses have left ghosts of feeling ringing throughout her body.
"It's not that at all." her voice is quiet and it feels like it could easily get lost in the wind.
"Then?"
"I'm hungry." she blurts out the first thing that comes to her head. She wants him to kiss her forever, she never wants to lose contact with the far too skilled boy. The feeling is powerful and frightening.
Ray laughs softly and reaches for the box of food he's packed. He pulls out some sandwiches and some bakes goods that Suki doesn't know the name off. They look complicated and delicious.
Ray pushes some hair out of his face and rest against the tree, he unwraps a sandwich and holds it out to Suki. She moves up towards him to grab the tenderly made food. She grabs the food and lightening quick Ray's hand is suddenly around her wrist.
"Ray?"
He is smiling and pulling her carefully close to him careful not to pull too hard. When she's between his legs and her hand is by his mouth he moves in that smooth and elegant way that in no way should belong to a boy stronger than an elephant. Holding her arm behind him he captures her mouth again. Quick and sweet he kisses her and then lets go of her.
Letting her fall back into a sitting position. Suki shakes her head breathless and smiling she eats.
It is an incredibly long lunch. It bleeds into the late afternoon. They eat slowly and lie on the blanket beside each other watching the sun make its way across the sky. They are talking about nothing and it warms something inside her that they are able to talk to easily.
"I hate that you're so good at everything." Suki said her words far sharper than she ever meant them to be.
Ray leans on his arm to look at her properly, "I'm really not."
"You are." Ray's body is so close to hers that if he rolled forward he'd be on top of her. The heat of his skin is flushing her face.
"Like what?" He raises an eyebrow as if he really has no idea what she could possibly think he was so good at.
"Dancing."
"You're just as good as I am." he brushes hair away from her face, his fingers linger on her skin tracing an invisible path.
"Poker."
"You're good at that too." He is smiling down at her and it feels warm and safe. Lying next to Ray is the safest she has ever felt and she doesn't want to move.
"What about chess and cooking?"
Ray laughs and the joyous sound washes over her body, "Yeah I am really good at those." He taps her nose softly, teasing, "Why does that bother you?"
"If your so good at all those thing..." she breaks off and looks away from him. She turns her head away and stares into the crayon green of the grass peaking over the edge of the blanket.
"Hey." Ray pushes her head back to face him, "what is it?"
"Why would you like me when you're so good at everything." Her voice hitches and she closes her eyes not wanting to look at him.
She isn't prepared for what happens next. She can feel Ray moving around her and she's sure that he must agree and is getting ready to leave when suddenly his mouth is on hers. Her eyes snap open and all she can see is his dark hair. He pulls away slowly.
"You're joking right?" he laughs until he sees the desperate look in Suki's eyes, "Oh god, Suki." He kisses her on the forehead and leans back, resting next to her in the now failing light. He grabs a hold of her hand and slides his fingers through hers, "You are the most amazing person I will ever know."
Suki stares up into the darkening sky and watches with a quickening heart the leaves dance above them.
"You would make rocket scientists quake in fear at your brilliance. You are devastatingly beautiful, really Suki it should be illegal its heartbreaking. You're funny and sweet and kind. I can't find a single flaw in you. Well you are a poor loser..."
"Hey!"
"Well you are."
"That's only because I very rarely lose. Except to you."
"If you want I can stop being so wonderful. I really only dusted all those skills off to win you over."
"Really?" Suki laughed, "I never would have known." everything in the way she said that made it more than clear that everyone had known that. From her tone he thought maybe astronauts in space may have seen right through him.
Ray sat up and started to pack away the picnic, "Well it worked didn't it?"
It took Suki a couple of silent moments to realize that he wanted an answer.
"Yes, and now you never have to beat me at cards or chess again." she smiled rolling up the blanket.
A/N: the end! Hopefully everyone is happy. Also did anyone know what old sci fi show CJ and Suki where watching? I couldn't help myself I had to make them watch Doctor Who. Wow I don't think I've ever finished a story on here before. Crazy. Please give me lots of love and feed back I live off that stuff. Thanks to everyone who has been patient with me and read this.
