Sofia heaved many a dreamy sigh between when Cedric took her home and when she saw him again at school the next day. She wasn't usually one to be self conscious but those beautiful brown eyes bore witness to many intimacies yesterday, she found herself blushing at first sight of him in the locker bay.

"How are you feeling?" Cedric asked as he approached her.

"I'm alright," she smiled warmly. He always fretted about her well being, but it was sweeter now somehow, knowing how deeply he cared for her. She couldn't resist stealing a quick kiss from his lips.

He blushed immediately before lowering his voice to a whisper. "P-Probably not a good idea to do anything at school."

"I know, but I couldn't help it," she smiled. She honestly wanted to tackle him then and there, but resisted first of many urges.

They'd awakened something they couldn't contain despite every ounce of logic and reason nagging at them to be responsible young adults, something easier said than done when they at last risked making out one afternoon while Cordelia was home upstairs studying.

"This is crazy…" Sofia breathed between kisses on the basement sofa. "How can I miss you so much despite seeing you every day?"

"I know, it's torture," he said before unceremoniously pushing his tongue into her mouth while his hands squeezed her bare thigh beneath her skirt. "I didn't think I could want you anymore than I already do."

"Cedric, we can't…" Sofia let out a restrained whimper, wanting to grind on his lap to satisfy the ache in her groin. "If Cordelia catches us she'll definitely tell your parents…"

"Maybe I can bribe her if she does…" He said on an exhale before latching onto her neck.

"Mm!" Sofia clamped a hand over her mouth to keep from making too much noise. They had two floors between them, but she didn't want to give Cordelia any indication there was mischief afoot. She and Cedric were simply studying together or playing a video game like they usually did and perhaps they still would, once this nagging instinct to rut had been sated.

"Ah no, shit," Cedric said as he pulled away from her neck. "I left a mark."

"I told you not to suck so hard," Sofia scolded, but at least she could turn the collar of her jacket up to hide it when she got in. And with days of autumn upon them, wearing a scarf wouldn't be too suspicious… or so she tried to reason before her brain reminded her she was still quite wanting.

"But you like it," Cedric countered with puppy-dog eyes, planting apology kisses up to her lips.

"Yeah…" Sofia admitted before capturing his lips with hers. Why did he have to taste so good? Why couldn't they just sit there like composed human beings and innocently hold hands? Because sex felt so damn good, her brain answered as she unzipped Cedric's trousers and crawled on top of his lap.

"S-Sofia, w-wait!" He held her waist for a moment, hoping she'd remain still while his hand reached into his back pocket to fish out his wallet. He pulled out a small square of plastic and quickly tore into it.

She loved him even more in that moment, knowing he'd done what she'd asked and taken it upon himself to pause their ardor to slip a condom on. Bless him. She could barely wait the few seconds it took him to put it on before she was pulling the crotch of her panties to the side and sitting down on him.

"Oh god…" Cedric's breath hitched and he threw his arms around her middle, hugging her tight. "Sofia…"

"You're wonderful," she smiled at him before kissing him again, their moans muffled by each others' mouths as she settled onto his lap and began grinding her pelvis against his.

He believed her, knowing there'd be no other way she'd be riding him like this if he wasn't. He loved her so much, so damn much, both wanting to shout his feelings to the world and at the same time keep it secret just between them.

For a time, they managed the later, but come the first Valentine's Day since their tryst began, they both wondered how much longer they'd be able to keep this development secret from their parents.

"It's got to be social pressure," Sofia said as they lounged on the floor in front of the sofa this time, curled up under a blanket. "I mean, yeah, I like roses but if you buy me any it's just going to bring up more questions than we want to answer right now, besides, have you seen how expensive they are?"

"Mhm," Cedric nodded and reached under the sofa to grab something he'd stashed their earlier: a bottle of lotion with the label of Rosey Posey – a rose scented skin cream. "Which is why I put my brain to good use when selecting something."

"Oo!" Sofia eagerly accepted the bottle and popped the lid open to take a whiff of the soft, but pleasant scent. "Oh, this is perfect. My bottle of Lavender Lily is getting low."

"It's that time of year for dry skin," Cedric smirked as he reached out to brush a stray lock of hair back over her shoulder. He knew their days like this wouldn't last, even if by some miracle, their parents never found out, he'd be graduating in a little over a year and off to college – he still wasn't sure where, which brought about untold amounts of stress. The future was always so uncertain and he didn't know what all he wanted in his, aside from Sofia. How could she not be a part of it?

"I got something for you too," Sofia announced as she put the bottle and the blanket aside and crawled in front of him with a devilish smile curling her lips.

"Y-You did?" Cedric was more concerned than curious when she had that smile.

"Mhm," Sofia nodded and dipped her head down between his legs.

"U-U-Um!" Cedric turned cherry red as he felt her fingers lower his zipper. "T-Today is a high risk day though, isn't it?"

"Not if I put it in my mouth," Sofia said with a mirthful giggle as she carefully extracted his semi-erect cock from the fly of his boxers.

"A-Are you sure? You don't have to—"

"I want to," she said firmly as he throbbed to full attention. "And it looks like you want to as well."

Cedric gulped and hid his face behind his hands as he reclined back to let her have her way with him. "You're overwhelming me, Sofia…"

She giggled and leaned over to steal a kiss from his lips first while her hand began stroking him. "I'll stop if it's too much for you, promise."

"Okay…" He agreed, lingering at her lips and watching her slowly lower her head back down to his crotch, extending her tongue to taste the tip of him as she arrived. His breath hitched, but he steadied it quickly, wanting to watch as she put her mouth on him, first kissing the crown before lightly sucking on it. He let out a low groan of pleasure, the heat of her mouth a bit different, but no less fantastic than her sex.

Sofia paced herself steadily, one hand still squeezing him at the base while her mouth worked the length of him. She knew he was enjoying it, but didn't expect the sensual whimper he made near the end before he completely gave himself over to her.

"Sofia…!" Cedric panted, trying to find enough words to warn her he was nearing his release. "I'm…!"

"Mhm," she replied softly, still sucking with earnest.

He lost it, erupting into her mouth with a suppressed cry, followed by more whimpering as her gentle suction continued at the tip, draining him dry. "Oh god…"

"Huh, doesn't taste so bad…" Sofia commented more to herself as she wiped her lips off on her sleeve and looked up at him, only now beginning to blush herself. "Was that alright?"

"I love you…!" Cedric managed to respond, but his head was still coming down from this spiral of pleasure.

"I love you too," she beamed before standing up. "But I do wanna wash my mouth out quick. Be right back."

"'Kay…" He said wearily, hearing her walk to the bathroom and flick on the light and run the tap. He slowly managed to sit himself up and pushed his flaccid manhood back into his boxers before zipping up his jeans just in time for Sofia's return.

She smiled at him and sat down just in front of him, reclining back against his chest and encouraging him to wrap his arms around her, which he did, planting kisses to the side of her face as she got comfortable and pulled the blanket back on top of them to keep the cold chill of February away.


Author's Note: I haven't forgotten about RE, it's just been a lil complicated finishing it out. This is a shorter transitional chapter of fun stuff. I'm hoping to wrap this story up in another chapter or two. I've also been in a bad rut and not really liking any of my writing, but I at least seem to be doing it which is more than I was last week so I'm working with it.
