Another warning: while this is still Rated T, it does get close to crossing that line. It's a delicate balance I find myself doing to make sure it stays at this rating, haha. Anyway, I won't say anymore, because I don't want to spoil you before you've even read it, but if you're under 16, just to be safe, don't read it!
Teela's Visitor Chapter 10
All that registered was the love he felt at that moment and the pleasure of the physical contact between them. His hips were cradled by her thighs as she bent her knees in the air. He could tell she was doing this to hold him in that spot, so he wouldn't be able to slip his body off of hers and lay to the side as he had done before.
He met Teela's lips with his briefly before he moved down her neck and licked a trail to the spot under her ear. He also reached his right arm down and grabbed at her hip desperately to caress it as well as to stop her movement. Her lower body had been rising to meet his constantly, going in a rhythm that was purely instinctive and primal. It called to him to speed things up, to go further, and he knew it was something he had to fight…but his own body betrayed him. As soon as he ceased her movements, he found himself grinding against her and she gasped loudly.
Forcing himself to pull their lower bodies apart, he slipped farther down her body and made a straight line to her chest with kisses. Picking up where he left off earlier before they had been interrupted, he nuzzled her left breast softly with his mouth as his hand came up to caress the other. The only difference from the time before was that she was wearing a bra that came up higher than her pushed down uniform had at that time. Regardless, he didn't let that stop him. Instead, he nipped at her through the thin fabric and the moans Teela made as a result drove him wild.
"Adam, please," she whispered, reaching her left hand up and running it through his hair softly.
"Teela," he moaned in reply as he slipped his head even farther down as his other hand rose to her breast to pick up where his mouth had left off. He reached her belly button with his lips and took the time to kiss her there and to jab his tongue into the small hole in a rhythm that was surprisingly becoming familiar with each encounter between them. Soon, Adam found her hips matching that rhythm again as her thighs now cradled a portion of his rib cage. He moaned again and brought both hands down to her hips to caress them gently.
"Adam," she gasped as he licked his tongue in and around her belly button a few more times. It was at that moment that he heard her fumbling around with something above him, but he was too centered on what he was doing to find out exactly what she was up to. Then, the noise ceased and she reached down under his arms to pull him back up. He willingly allowed her to do so and helped her progress but made sure to kiss every bit of skin he could as he moved up. When he finally got to her face, he pulled back and looked into her eyes.
"I love you," he whispered earnestly.
She smiled, reached her right hand up to stroke his cheek, and replied, "And, I love you."
They kissed one more time as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders for a moment before she abruptly pulled her lips from his. When he met her gaze again, she whispered, "I'm ready, Adam."
"You're ready?" he questioned, feeling panic and desire rise within him simultaneously.
"Yes," she answered, bringing her knees back up to cradle his body. "I want you like I've never wanted anyone or anything in my life." She brought her right hand to his eyes and he noticed that she had a small packaged condom in it. He quickly glanced to his table and saw that the box had been ripped into.
"Teela?" he questioned, feeling more than a little shocked.
"I want you," she repeated. "Please, Adam."
Then, she moved into action. She forced the condom into one of his hands and then reached down with both of hers to push down on his fur-pants.
"Teela!" he exclaimed in surprise as he tried to pull back from her. Her arms immediately came up to his shoulders and pulled him back down to her.
"It's okay," she whispered. "We'll only do this if you want to."
He closed his eyes as Teela held him to her closely and began to suck on the side of his neck relentlessly. He groaned loudly and was suddenly shocked to feel that his fur-pants were moving down his legs. He lifted his body to look and saw that she had a hold of them with her toes and was pulling them from his body.
He met her gaze and she grinned. "I'm a woman of many talents," she boasted.
"So, I see," he replied as he rested his body on hers again. Now the only things that separated them were her underwear and his tights. He dropped his head to her right shoulder and held it there for several long moments as he breathed deeply.
"Adam?" she questioned. When he didn't reply, she ran her hands up and down his back and then moved the motion to his sides.
He moaned and then pulled back to look at her again. "Ancients, Teela, I want you so much. You almost make it impossible for me to stop myself."
"Almost?" she questioned.
He leaned down and kissed her chastely. When he stared into her eyes again, he whispered, "Teela, I…I want you more than you know, and nothing would make me happier than to share this with you now and for the rest of my life…but I can't do this with a clear conscience. There's something I need to tell you first."
She moved one hand to the back of his neck and the other to his cheek to watch him intently. "Tell me," she said softly.
He closed his eyes and when he reopened them, he explained remorsefully, "That's where the problem lies: I can't tell you. It's a secret I've had to keep from many people for quite a while. I promised never to reveal it…and it's killing me at this moment, I assure you." He ran his fingers over her mouth and felt his arousal grow. He then became even more excited when he heard Teela gasp. He knew now that he was out of his fur-pants she could…feel more than she had before. He continued, "I want you badly, but I don't want you to hate me when you find out my secret."
"Why would I hate you?" she questioned as she rubbed her thumb across his cheek bone.
He leaned down and kissed her passionately. Their tongues met and dueled until neither could breathe. When he pulled back and calmed himself, he answered, "You might hate me because you'll feel betrayed that I didn't confide in you. I want to assure you now that I want to, but my promise stops me. I am a man of my word, after all."
She nodded and then looked down to see where they were pressed together. She then looked up and asked, "If I promised I would remember this conversation and not get mad, would you change your mind?"
He laughed and hugged her tightly. "I would like nothing more than to take you up on that offer, but you still might feel betrayed." He pulled away slightly and ran the back of his fingers across her cheek as he stared into her eyes. "If we do this, you will have shared yourself completely with me. I already know who you are, but I would know so much more. It would be the most…personal encounter we will have ever had. But when you learn my secret, it might taint your memory of the event. You might feel as though I did not share all of myself with you. I couldn't bear that."
Teela closed her eyes and leaned her head back. He could tell she was upset and trying to hold back the tears, but the sight before him was just too much to ignore. He leaned down and began to suck and kiss her jaw line from one side to the other slowly.
She gasped and then lowered her head back down which stopped his efforts. She whispered softly, "This is torture."
He nodded sadly and began to pull away, but she quickly wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him back down to her. They both moaned at the friction this caused between their bodies. When their eyes met again, she quickly averted them.
He watched as her skin grew redder and he wondered what she was thinking. "Teela?" he questioned.
She kept her head facing in the opposite direction so she didn't have to look at him. She whispered softer than he had ever heard her before, "If we can't make love, can we at least continue to do this?"
Without thinking, he replied, "Of course."
She looked back at him and as they stared into one another's eyes, she began to slide her body up and down beneath him. His air suddenly caught in his throat as he truly noticed for the first time just how thin her underwear and his tights were. He could almost feel her heat as she rubbed against him, and he was sure she could feel him. As she continued her actions, he found himself matching her movements. Soon, moans and sounds of kissing filled the room, and he found himself powerless to stop. They weren't making love in the true sense of the phrase, but they were expressing themselves and feeling everything that came along with their actions. It had to be enough for now, and he hoped she wouldn't regret even this.
=)=)=)
Several hours later, Adam awoke to find Teela snuggled to his side as he held her tightly. She was sound asleep, and he thought she looked like a goddess. Her mesmerizing red hair was spread out on his pillow. It looked deliciously tousled, thanks to him running his fingers through it constantly. As he ran his eyes down her body, he saw that she was still only wearing her underwear, but now she had his blanket pulled up to her chest and his. It made her look so innocent and sweet—it was almost unbearable. Taking a deep breath, he fought the urge to lean over and kiss her. He didn't want to wake her up, because she would then go back to her room and he'd have to wait until morning to see her again.
At that thought, he looked over at the chronometer on his wall and saw that everyone would be heading off to bed soon. He glanced at his door and saw that it was unlocked. He gasped, and despite knowing that it would wake Teela, he jumped from the bed, crossed the room, and locked it. He knew at least Cringer would burst into the room soon if he didn't. At least this way, they'd have a warning that someone was outside the door wanting to see him.
He turned back around and saw Teela propping her back against his headboard, holding the blankets to her chest, and smirking at him. "Don't you think we should have locked that earlier?" she asked.
He smiled almost embarrassedly and replied, "Yes, but I was distracted." He made his way back to the bed and sat down hesitantly. "At least I realized it before someone actually walked in."
She nodded in agreement.
"Do you need anything? Can I get you something?" he then asked nervously.
She smiled and answered, "Only you. Lie down."
Obeying, he laid down as she threw his blankets back over him. She then placed her head on his shoulder and a hand on his chest as she settled in to relax. He wrapped an arm around her and looked down at the top of her head. It was the only thing he could see. "Teela?" he whispered questioningly after several moments of simply lying there.
"Yeah?"
He took a deep breath and asked softly, "Are we okay? I know what we did earlier was a big step, even if it wasn't THE big step. What we're doing now is even a big step. I just want to make sure you're not regretting anything."
She finally lifted her head to stare at him. She scooted up so that they were eye level and replied, "Of course, we're okay. I love you." She looked downward and continued, "But I will admit I feel a little shy now that you've seen me…that way. I'm the Captain of the Guard. I'm not supposed to be so…wanton and…" She couldn't think of what else to add.
He brought a finger to her chin and pushed upward to get her to look at him again. "You're amazing and perfect, captain or not. And, there's no reason to feel shy. You saw me the same way…and you're so beautiful and so enchanting in those moments. It makes me want to keep you here all night, so we can see one another that way again."
She grinned and with a chuckle asked, "What about Cringer?"
"What about him? He'll have to find his own playmate!" he exclaimed with a devilish grin.
She laughed loudly, slapped him on the chest, and cried, "Oh, Adam!"
He quickly leaned forward and pressed their lips together in a light kiss. They then relaxed in one another's arms once more.
When they finally heard a scratch at the door a few minutes later, Adam got up and cracked the door open. When he saw that it was only Cringer, he opened it, stuck his head out to see who else was around, and said quickly, "Hurry up and get in."
The tiger did as asked, and as Adam shut the door and locked it, Cringer asked complainingly, "Why did you have the door locked? You never…" He paused as he noticed the figure in the bed as he walked across the room. He stopped, raised his eyes farther right, and saw Teela smiling at him shyly.
"Hi, Cringer," she said softly. "He locked the door, because I'm here."
"Oh!" he exclaimed. He then quickly looked back at Adam.
The prince grinned at him a little, bent beside him, and asked as he rubbed him, "You won't tell anyone what you've seen tonight, will you?"
"O-of course not, Adam," he replied. He went to his normal spot beside Adam's bed and settled down.
Teela took that opportunity to slip out of bed. He stared at her body as she did this, and he felt himself getting hot again. He watched as she reached down for her dress on the floor and slipped it and her shoes back on. She then walked to him, turned around, pulled her hair aside, and asked, "Can you zip me back up?"
Without saying a word, Adam zipped her dress but made sure to have his hands brush against her skin every step of the way. Once he was finished, she turned around and looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Careful," she replied, huskily; "You might encourage me to stay and then we'd definitely get caught!"
Immediately, Adam grabbed her and brought his lips to hers. They kissed until both were left gasping and longing for more. As he closed his eyes to savor the moment and the feel of her body against his one last time that night, he heard her say, "Oh, I know we can't, but I do wish he would ask me to stay."
He rested his forehead on hers and replied softly, "You need not wish. I'll always want you to stay, even against my better judgment."
Before he could kiss her again, she pulled back and laughed. "Wow!" she exclaimed softly. "It's almost like you could read my mind." She kissed him lightly and said, "I better go!"
He watched her open the door, stick her head out to make sure the coast was clear, and then leave after shutting his door. He stood in the center of the room and stared at the spot where she had last stood.
"Adam?" questioned Cringer.
He could only shake his head in reply as he recalled the last words Teela and he had spoken to one another before she had left the room. He then shook himself out of his reverie. "No, it's not what you're thinking," he mumbled to himself. He laughed a little at his foolishness, and as he sat down on the bed, he felt the Sorceress' presence. He could tell she was checking up on him before she turned in for the night, but he could also tell she was reading his surface thoughts. He let her.
After a mental pause, he heard the Sorceress say, "Oh, but it is."
