Chapter 12 – Touches that heal wounds - part I

Amelia sighed.

"Is everything okay?"

The feline turned around immediately.

"Good god, Delbert! You scared me!"

For sure the canine felt sorry for that, but nevertheless he couldn't hold back laughter. Amelia was immediately confused.

"What- …Would you please tell me why you're laughing?"

Delbert's laughter then turned into a big grin when he started to go towards the feline.

"I'm sorry Amelia. It's just that it is so atypical of you that one can scare you so easily."

Even when she was reluctant, she had to agree with him. That was more than just atypical of her. She turned slightly red on this knowledge and looked at the ground in an embarrassed way. By doing so, she noticed the pastel blue fabric that was enveloping her body and quickly got back to her usual nature. Slightly grinning she looked up and gazed at Delbert with a raised eyebrow. Completely spontaneous he felt a queasy feeling coming up inside him. The feline went towards him in a lissom gait and when she was almost closely enough, she reached with her hand for his face and tapped with the nail of her forefinger on the tip of his nose.

"Well my dear Doctor. Let's get back to the point again now… the chemise and the morning gown, I presume… it was set when you bought it?"

Amelia's dangerously bewitching nature talking to him that formal, made him almost go crazy of nervousness and he slowly stepped back.

"Uhm I-I-I… w-we do have that f-familiy t-tradition… give your wife – uh girlfriend – uh I mean the w-woman that you love – like… a garment, when you do welcome her in y-your house for the f-first time."

With every step Amelia made towards him Delbert stumbled one back.

"But my dear Doctor", she said still smiling and Delbert thought that he could see something provoking flashing up in her enticingly eyes, "when I first came here and woke up in this chemise, you couldn't know that your special injured guest would be me."

Her finger slid to his left ear and started to play with it. Delbert turned even redder. His smile was obviously filled with embarrassment.

"Well, I think S-Sarah couldn't find anything e-else s-so she…"

He swallowed the wrong way and lost his last words, when he suddenly felt a hard wall on his back. That was it! No escape! But nevertheless he pressed himself against it, as if he was hoping that it would move yet. Amelia enjoyed seeing his nervousness grow more and more and so she couldn't stop.

"But… that means that you do love me even longer."

She grinned again.

Well, I do want to make sure of this in my own way…"

While saying this she put her other hand on his face, too and then pulled him in a very sensual kiss. She felt his lips tremble so she broke away again.

"Oh yes, Doctor. I still have one question."

Without waiting for a reaction she continued.

"Did Mr. Hawkins tell the truth about, when he was talking about the sexy underwear shop?"

Delbert's eyes widened and his face found a new colour of red on the colour scale.

"W-well, I just w-wanted to give s-something that would t-totally suit you!", he stuttered despaired.

Amelia was happy about this unexpected compliment and grinned again, when she saw his lost gaze. But Delbert had just noticed what he had hint with his words.

But the feline decided not to tease him any longer and brought his lips back to his. She opened her mouth and only a few seconds later she could feel a tongue in her mouth, that wasn't hers. She sighed slightly and nestled up to Delbert. Her hands slid to his neck. Delbert couldn't keep his hands still either and laid them on her waist. They didn't rest there for long time. His left hand slid up to her back while his right hand got down to her hips. It paused there for a moment before it slid down her side, stroking her butt a little. Amelia enjoyed this surprising caress and groaned softly into the kiss. To Delbert it seemed like an inner switch that changed over. All of his nervousness and unsureness suddenly disappeared and he didn't know himself anymore. Jerky he grabbed Amelia and turned around with her so she herself now felt the wall behind her back. He made use of her momentarily astonishment and deepened the kiss by using his tongue much more. Amelia gave another sigh and brought her fingers through his brown hair. He energetically pressed her up against the wall but still with a special attention because of her wounds. He didn't want to hurt her. But when he heard nothing more than another passionate sigh form her he pressed himself more against her body and suddenly she felt something hard against her abdomen. Normally her intellect would have told her to push him back because of this reaction quickly but now she was even more surprised about her own acting. She lifted her leg, that Delbert's hand was touching, off the ground and clasped it around his hip. Delbert thanked her by placing his hand under her thigh and held and massaged it at the same time. Amelia felt a tingling warmth coming up inside her. It became stronger and stronger and within only a few seconds it filled her whole body. Another sigh, when she could feel Delbert's erection even more. Amelia's hands slid down his collar and played with it for a moment before sliding down a bit more. Delbert panted when he felt Amelia opening his morning gown. She brought her hands to his shoulders and stroked the fabric down of them. He let go off her thigh so there was more space and the morning gown fell down to the ground. They'd interrupt their kiss only a few short times to take a breath, but now Delbert broke away from her lips and placed some kisses an her neck and her left ear to caress it. Then he kissed down her neck right to her shoulders where he stopped. He caressed this place with his lips, sipped at her skin. While doing so he brushed her skin with his teeth and caused her to sigh pleasantly, when he softly bit her. She shivered when he continued and got to the braid trimming of her chemise. His right hand stroke up on her arm and when he got to her shoulder he tugged gently on the thin chiffon sleeves approach, laying more of their skin free. Also to explore this new area, his lips stroke further to her collarbone. Then he pulled the chemise down on her other shoulder. Gently he kissed the middle of her collarbone before also using his teeth there. Now he no longer bit that gently in her skin. Amelia groaned. In her voice was a sound of joyful expectance and she made this sound more expressive by stretching out her chest while resting her head back. When he bit her even harder, she hissed quietly. This hissing let him suspect that it had now been a little too tight. But as well it announced a wave of lust that had captured Amelia. As Delbert still broke away from her, she moved her shoulders so that the chemise slipped even further. It was now only loosely on her breasts. Lovely and without making him think something wrong, she softly pushed him away and made one step forward. He looked at her. Amelia grabbed her chemise with both hands and took a deep breath.

"I would like that you can see everything from me…"

Delbert looked into her eyes, somehow uncertain, but when he saw the determination in her bewitching glance, he nodded bashfully without saying anything. Amelia took a little of the blue fabric till it already slid down her body gently and slowly until it covered the floor around her feet. Delbert gasped when he revealed this sight. Right under her breast was a bandage that reached around her whole chest. It was relatively wide and covered the wound that she sustained back on Treasure Planet. Further down, just below her navel, was another bandage that covered the wound that Lord Crounwel had inflicted on her with his dagger. For a short moment he felt a slight pain coming up inside him. How could that happen?! He had been on the night still with her. If he had stayed just any longer, then- … He dismissed the thought again, as his eyes wandered over her body... His gaze accidently stroke over her private parts. Instantly his face turned bright red when he saw the small piece of fabric between her legs. When he noticed her gaze, he brought his eyes up hastily but even there was something else that catches his view. Her breasts, that seemed perfectly formed, flattered her overall appearance with its luscious size. Amelia was excited but she tried not to show it that much. But her fast breath even told the truth and so Delbert could see how her breasts go up and down with every breath of her. He stayed silent and watched full of fascination at the soft skin of her breasts. He could see scars. Everywhere were scars. Most of them were small some were healed well so that one nearly couldn't see them at the first sight anymore. But he could see them all. On her arms, her upper body and her abdomen and on her legs. Then he noticed a special scar on the approach of her right breast. It seemed to be somehow fresh. Amelia noticed his gaze changing while looking at it. She forced herself to smile when uncertainty came up insider her. She stepped towards him and laid a hand on his left cheek. He could feel her shivering.

"Delbert, if looking at the scars is too hard to you then please don't look. I just don't want you to find me disgust-."

"No! It's not that!", he interrupted her, "It's just… that scar…"

Hesitating, uncertain if his acting now maybe would be too pushing, he brought his right hand to the scar on her breast and gently stroke over it. Then he asked:

"How… did that happen…?"

Amelia sighed but answered: "Do you remember the first time we met? I wasn't able to welcome you as my new financier, because I had to stay home. You could say I had to I had to stay in hospital bed. This fight I mentioned, with the Procyon Armada, I'd gone through before… an enemy soldier injured me. Although he could see that I had lost my weapon, he shot cowardly right into my breast. The next I knew, was when I woke up at the hospital and Landon…"

She paused and swallowed at the memory of her dead 1st officer. Delbert noticed that. He didn't want the mood to change its course now. Not now! Not, when he felt so well in her company…

The hand on her scar suddenly slid up to her neck and pulled the surprised feline into a deep kiss. Even before she was able to react, he put his other hand on her back and pressed her naked body to his. Her almost upcoming tears dried up momentarily and swept away by Delbert's passion she clasped his neck and buried her fingers in his hair again. At that his hairband loosened a little and slipped out of his hair just a few moments later. Meanwhile his own hands didn't pause. Soft, yet with a certain amount of courage he brought them to every reachable part of her body to massage her skin. Amelia sighed and her lips found his again. After they'd put up a real tongue-fight, the breath of them both had turned that hot, the Delbert had to break away. Silently he looked at her and although he was so embarrassed and uncertain, he finally spoke out what his heart had kept secretly since their first kiss.

"Amelia… I want you."

Amelia's eyes widened and inside of them suddenly some stars began to shine. And these were the most beautiful stars that Delbert had ever seen within his whole work as an astrophysicist. Filled with passion he grabbed Amelia and pulled her to him. Amelia grabbed his vest and opened it. Then she stroked it over his shoulders. That garment of his fell down and it didn't have to be the last one.

When Delbert finally was wearing no more than his trousers he lifted Amelia up bridal style and carried her to the burning chimney. He kneeled down before it and gently laid her down on the soft carpet. She smiled. Then she pulled him towards her and their lips melted into a sensual kiss. He leaned forward when she sank back into the soft fibres of the red carpet. Immediately his left hand stroked down her tummy and after pausing there for a while to draw small circles on her skin, he went further, down over her hips right to her thigh and back up. Amelia shivered under his touches and gave another sigh. Suddenly Delbert broke the kiss and she looked at him questioningly.

"Didn't you say, you would like me to see everything of you?"

By saying so he sat back up and laid his hands on her hips, right there, where her last garment covered her body. She starred at him with big eyes. First surprised but then expecting her eyes began to shine in the flames of the chimney. She gasped when Delbert hooked his fingers behind the slim ribbon of her undergarment. She felt some tickling in her tummy and for the very first time in her life she did know the meaning of butterflies in her stomach. Gently he tugged at the small fabric. While he was taking it off he slid with his hands over her hips and her butt and massaged the skin he stroked. Carefully he pushed the fabric down her legs and then took it off completely. It felt to the ground. Then Delbert's gaze went back the whole way over her body. From her feet, over her long seeming, never ending legs. He took his time because he didn't want to end this view too fast; especially when he thought about the forthcoming sight. He was nervous but he tried to hide it and brought his gaze higher to the space between her legs. She trembled. His gaze at her skin felt as he would touch her. Delbert looked up, right into her eyes. He saw her smile and returned it. Now he was sure – she wanted him, too.
