My eyelids slowly opened and I looked up at the ceiling as I stretched every muscle possible.
"North! She's awake!" I looked to my left to see Jack leaning over me, a worried expression plastered on his face.
"How long have I been out for?" I croaked.
"Three months…" I sat up straight. Three months?! Holy crap. I heard a laugh escape Jack's mouth and frowned at him.
"I am totally messing with you," he said, still laughing. "You should have seen your face…"
"It wasn't funny, Jack. You really worried me!"
"You're right," he said kissing me softly on the lips, "it wasn't, sorry." North walked in with a huge smile on his face.
"You did it Lizzie! The fairies are free, Tooth is fine! We are no longer in danger because of you." Bunnymund hopped into the room.
"Is she okay? Oh thank goodness," and Bunny came over to me and gave me a rib-crushing hug. "I thought we'd lost you at one point, sweetheart." He kissed the top of my head and I heard Jack clear his throat from behind Bunny and they gave on another an intense glare. Sandy walked in and gave me thumbs up and handed me a cup of hot chocolate.
"It will give you your strength back," North told me. Sure enough, after a few sips, I began to feel like myself again. I noticed Jack wasn't wearing his hoodie and he had a large bandage around his arm.
"How is the cut?" I asked.
"Could be better… it hasn't stopped bleeding, some kind of magical wound I think." He sighed. I fished around in my pocket and pulled out the small vile Bunny had given me.
"This should help," I said putting some of the oil in my hand and rubbing it over the gash. Jack winced at my touch but relaxed a bit more as it soon began to close up, leaving only a small pink scar. A thought crossed my mind, how could Jack have spoken to me in my head?
"Jack, how were we talking telepathically?" But Jack just shrugged; he seemed to know as much as I did about our connection. North smiled.
"Isn't it obvious?" Jack and I shook our heads. "You are soul mates! That's why the moon chose you, Lizzie. You both are meant for each other." I grimaced.
"Sounds super cheesy," I said, earning a disapproving look from North.
"When do I get my soul mate?" Bunny grumbled and I giggled and rubbed his arm.
"You never know, Jessica Rabbit might be next," I said winking.
"Right," Jack said, "we best be getting home, don't you think?" I nodded in agreement.
"Not staying for a party?" North said.
"North, its winter, we have work to do," Jack winked and flew up into the air. I followed suit and we both waved goodbye, heading towards our home. We landed safely outside and walked into the one roomed home. I breathed in the rusty scent and felt instantly warmed.
"How you feeling?" Jack asked.
"Fine, yeah. Still in shock that it's over really…" My thoughts turned to the previous nights with Pitch. I shuddered at the thought and Jack wrapped him arms around my waist and kissed my neck.
"Its okay, its over now." I sighed deeply and turned around so I was facing him. I stretched up and kissed him on the lips, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"I love you…" I mumbled.
"Sorry what was that?" Jack said, raising his eyebrows.
"I love you!" I said a little louder.
"I thought you didn't believe in love."
"Shut up. I do now." Jack smiled.
"That's good then, I love you too…" He kissed me, slowly and passionately, gradually deepening our kiss. I ran my hands through his hair and he lifted me off the ground, wrapping my legs around his waist, not breaking our kiss. He carried me over to the double bed on the far side of the room and lay me down, carefully. "We don't have to do stuff if you aren't ready…" He said, stroking my face.
"No, I want to." Jack grinned and I noticed the mischievous glint in his eye. He leant down and kissed me quickly on the lips.
"Let's get you out of Pitch's clothing, shall we?" And with that, he unzipped the back of my suit, revealing the lace underwear underneath. He pulled it off and dumped it on the floor, running his hands down my body making me shiver. His chest was still bare and I couldn't help but run my hands over the pale skin, tracing patterns. Jack unhooked my bra (after a bit of fumbling for the hook) and dumped that on the floor too. He began to kiss my neck and I moved my head to allow him more skin. Every small kiss or nibble filled me with electricity and made me that little bit more, dare I say it, excited. Jack's lips were now back on mine and his hands were gently squeezing my breasts. I began to fiddle with the zip on his trousers but for the life of me couldn't undo them.
"Struggling?" He said grinning.
"Shut up! What is wrong with them?" Jack just laughed and undid them himself, kicked them off the bed.
"You're just going to have to practise."
"Well you struggled with the bra so I think we are even." We both laughed and then returned to kissing. Jack slid his tongue inside my mouth and we began to battle with each other, him eventually winning. I massaged the growing lump in his trousers as he explored my mouth with his tongue. Jack slid down my nickers and began teasing my sensitive area. I moaned quietly as my hips began grinding again. Jack pulled off his boxers and looked at me.
"Are you sure?" He said.
"Yes," I managed to groan back. He grinned then steadied himself. It took a couple of attempts but when he finally went inside of me, I felt nothing but pleasure. We had a steady rhythm now going, our hips moving together, our kisses becoming needier, moans becoming louder. I felt my insides tighten around him, it was as if we fitted together perfectly. I felt a sudden burst of confidence and managed to push Jack down, setting my legs either side of him. He looked shocked from the unexpected move. I bent down and kissed him whilst riding him, he seemed to enjoy being like this. We were lost in waves of pleasure and passion as Jack climbed back onto top, going harder and faster than before.
"Liz…" groaned Jack, I knew he was reaching his climax, I was too. He came after a few more thrusts and I did too not long after. He stayed on top of me, both of us breathless. We kissed for quite some time, then he pulled out of me gently and lay next to me, resting his head on his hand.
"North and I figured out your centre by the way."
"Oh yeah, what?" I asked.
"Love…" He said, stroking my face with his hand. He got up and went over to his discarded trousers. He pulled a small Russian doll out of it and placed it in my hand. I looked at the little doll, it had violet eyes, copper hair with purple streaks and a big heart lightly to the left of its chest. I smiled and looked at Jack.
"Thank you…that really was the icing on the cake," I grinned. I felt as though my heart could have exploded.
"You mean the Frost-ing on the cake," Jack joked. I groaned. "Are you horny again or was it my bad joke?" he said, laughing. I giggled.
"Maybe a bit of both…" I said, biting my lip. Jack did his infamous smile and pulled me close to him. "You really are the frosting on the cake."
