Chapter 13: Manchester - Part Two (NSFW)
Between the sugar high and the spectacularly large and realistic T-Rex, the boys were jumping out of their seats during the show. Even Charity and Vanessa enjoyed the show, mainly because they couldn't stop staring at their boys looking so happy, not to mention each other. The lights and sound were a bit much for Vanessa by the end though, and she was ready for the quieter setting of the restaurant where everyone enjoyed their dinner.
The boys were knackered by early evening and the four made their way to the hotel to check in for the night. Charity looked up her reservation number on her phone as she approached the front desk.
"I'll have my reservation confirmation pulled up in just a second."
The cheerful clerk at the front desk took note of the women and their two tired looking boys. "No need. My name is Aiden and I'm happy to look up your reservation with your name."
"Dingle. Charity Dingle. Two rooms."
Vanessa breathed an internal sigh of relief upon hearing they had booked two rooms. Until that moment, she was not sure what sort of accommodations to expect.
"Just a moment. Yes, I have it right here. We have two adjoining rooms consisting of one king guest room and one twin guest room."
Charity turned to Vanessa. "Do you and Johnny have a preference for one or the other? I believe amongst the four of us, it is actually you who does the most kicking and duvet stealing."
"Very funny. Makes no difference to me."
Moses had something to say about the decision. "Mummy, you said Johnny and I could build a pillow fort in our room. You stay with Nessa like you always do. I wanna sleep with Johnny in our fort."
"Oh, baba. You and Johnny can make a fort next time we go away ok?"
"No!" Moses whined.
Vanessa could see Johnny was giving her the evil eye as Moses continued to pout. Charity tried to negotiate with him.
"How about when we get back to the village, Johnny can have a sleepover in your room at the pub and you can build a fort in there?"
"No!"
Moses was ready to make a scene and Johnny stayed silent, but he also began to pout, and his lower lip started to quiver. Vanessa quickly surmised he was about to go into full meltdown mode.
"Charity, why don't you and I take the twin room and the boys can make their fort in the King room?"
A bit in shock that Vanessa suggested it, and having very mixed feelings about sharing a room with her fiancée who had no recollection of the mind-blowing sex they routinely had, Charity asked, "Are you sure? I know you don't want to disappoint the boys, but they'll get over it."
"I'm sure. It'll be fine. No point in getting all worked up. I mean the boys, no point in the boys getting all worked up."
The clerk had Charity sign some paperwork and handed her two key cards.
They took the lift to their rooms and the boys changed into their pajamas quickly and brushed their teeth. Pillows from the bed and the small sofa in the room were quickly assembled into a fort to accommodate the boys as well as their new furry friends, Buddha the Utahraptor and Timothy the Torosaurus.
Charity bent down to quietly remind the boys of the ground rules. "Moz, remember, it's your job to protect Johnny, and Johnny, it's your job to make sure Moz doesn't run around your fort all night. Mummy and I will be just through the door in the other room. OK?"
Johnny nodded 'yes' to Charity and she gave both boys a kiss goodnight.
Vanessa was tickled at how happy and well-behaved the boys had been all afternoon and evening. "May I have the honor of tucking the two of you in?"
Johnny corrected her in a whisper, "Four of us mummy. Tuck in Buddha and Timothy too."
"Four fellas! Of course." The two tiny humans and two tinier plush toys were all properly tucked in and Vanessa and Charity shut the door between the adjoining rooms quietly after saying a final goodnight.
Vanessa walked over to the bed closest to the window where she had thrown her bag. "Do you mind if I use the bathroom first? I'm really exhausted and just want to brush up and go to bed."
"It's half past eight. How tired can you be?" Then, remembering that Vanessa had mentioned the lights and noise from the show had made her feel poorly, she pointed at her head. "Sorry, I forgot about this whole thing. Go on, I'm in no rush and not particularly tired."
Vanessa went to the bathroom, locked the door, placed her hands over her face and exhaled. She wondered if Charity had noticed how often she snuck a peek at her during the show or if the dozen stolen glances during dinner had truly gone unnoticed. How had she found herself in a hotel room, with her very hot fiancée, nervous about merely sleeping in the same room with her? She wanted normalcy and surely, when they booked this trip and the added expense of having their own room separate from the boys, it wasn't so they could sleep apart. She just couldn't imagine doing the 'normal' thing which would mean getting into bed with Charity. At this moment, she couldn't think of anything more awkward than doing just that.
She looked at herself in the mirror and wondered which of the two options she brought with her to sleep in she should put on. Eventually, she decided the solid pink tank top that went with the cotton star print bottoms were a better choice than the silky camisole and matching shorts. Something about the lace trim on the camisole seemed too flirty and suggestive and though she hated herself for it, she saw the rest of the night as something she just needed to get through right now.
"You are definitely overthinking this Vanessa," she muttered to herself under her breath. She changed, brushed her teeth and ran a comb through her hair. She was neither tired nor feeling poorly at all. Still, upon exiting the bathroom, she made a beeline for the bed figuring if she could just slip under the covers and close her eyes, the sun would be up soon enough.
Charity had been responding to some texts on her phone when Vanessa sprinted out of the bathroom and straight to bed. Her speedy retreat left Charity discouraged. Her expectations weren't high, but she had assumed that Vanessa might want a cheeky squeeze after saying their kiss from two nights before was the highlight of her evening. Charity picked up her weekend bag, looked back at Vanessa who was facing away from her, and didn't bother to hide the disappointment in her voice. "Sleep well Ness. I'll try to be quiet so you can rest."
Charity made quick work of her nighttime routine, put on her black button-down pajama set and slinked back to her bed. It was rather warm, so she pulled back the duvet and used only the thin flat sheet to cover herself. She thought about doing a crossword to quietly pass the time but the light over her bed was rather bright and she didn't want to keep Vanessa awake, so she turned it off. She plumped up the pillows, laid her head against them and stared at the ceiling, a gnawing passivity coming over her. The reward for a day spent with preschoolers was supposed to be a night of passion with her very fit fiancée. Instead, through no fault of her own, she was having a slumber party without so much as a game of spin the bottle.
Turning her head on the pillow, Charity looked to her left to see if Vanessa was stirring at all. With the lamp turned out, only a thin sliver of moonlight crept in from the window. Vanessa looked very peaceful as she lay in bed. Charity's eyes traced the curve of Vanessa's shoulder and bare arm before moving downward to the swell of her hip where her hand rested. She stared at Vanessa's hand and contemplated how her fingers wielded magical powers; the way they could tease, massage and stimulate the most sensitive of Charity's nerve endings.
Charity snapped her head back up to stare at the ceiling with an audible sigh. Between the early hour and her mind drifting to titillating places, slumber was nowhere to be found.
She turned back again to look at Vanessa, her hair resting on the pillow like champagne-colored silk. Suddenly, she was drawn to Vanessa like metal to a magnet. Charity sat up, tossed back the sheet and swung her legs over the side of her bed. One breath later, she was on her feet and crossed the small gap between her bed and Vanessa's. She stood over her in the darkness. No longer in control of her movements, she could not resist the temptation that lay in front of her.
Charity reached out her hand and ghosted her fingertips over Vanessa's shoulder and slowly down her arm. When fingertips touched fingers, Vanessa suddenly turned her hand over and held Charity's hand in place. The pace of Charity's breathing accelerated instantly, and she lowered herself down onto the bed, sliding her body behind Vanessa's. She pulled her hand from Vanessa's grip and ran her fingers back up Vanessa's arm and over her shoulder. She brushed Vanessa's hair off the pillow and nuzzled into the back of her neck.
Vanessa rolled over, first to her back and then to her side to face Charity. She tucked Charity's curls behind her ear with her fingers and moved closer to Charity until their lips met in a chaste kiss. The women looked into each other's eyes with desire, drinking each other in. Vanessa's hand ran through Charity's hair and she pulled her closer again, capturing her lips in a series of soft kisses as they both enjoyed the warmth that came from simply being in each other's space.
The kisses began to linger and grew more passionate until lips parted to make way for swiping tongues that turned up the heat throughout their bodies. Charity wrapped her right arm around Vanessa's back pulling her entire upper body into Vanessa's. She felt her sex begin to pulse in long rhythmic beats and it wasn't enough for Charity to feel her chest pressed tightly against Vanessa's, so she wrapped her right leg around Vanessa's lower body and began to rock into her as they continued to kiss forcefully.
Vanessa began to moan and Charity sensed they were both frustrated that only one arm could roam and grab. Charity broke the kiss for just a moment and pushed herself up with her left hand and swung her right leg over Vanessa's body wasting no time straddling her hips. Vanessa took a moment to enjoy the view but quickly grabbed at Charity's top pulling her down and Charity braced herself with her right hand and made immediate use of her now freed left hand to grab Vanessa's breast, squeezing it and confirming Vanessa's state of arousal as she felt a hard nipple beneath her fingertips. Vanessa wanted to wear Charity like a blanket, and she pulled her down completely, Charity complying instantly and lowering the full weight of her body onto Vanessa.
Vanessa held Charity's face along her jawline, wanting the kisses to be deeper, longer, wetter. Charity took a breath as she started to track kisses across Vanessa's cheek, to her ear, sucking on her earlobe and making quick time dropping kisses on bare skin down her neckline and on her collarbone and then continued over the tank top to her chest. Charity rubbed her cheek against Vanessa's breasts and kissed her nipples through her top, then made her way back up to Vanessa's lips to kiss her again and again until both women were left breathless. Forehead to forehead, trying to catch their breath, Vanessa was surprised by her own impatience as she told Charity, "I want to feel your skin on my skin."
Charity's eyelids had been heavy with lust but hearing Vanessa's words caused them to shoot open. For a moment, she thought maybe Vanessa had regained a particularly significant memory, but she quickly realized it was pure coincidence that Vanessa had just said to her the exact same words she said the first night they were together.
Charity did not deny Vanessa a moment's pleasure. She hastily got up on her knees and pulled her top up over her head rather than taking the time to seductively unbutton it. There was no need for seduction as Vanessa grew more desperate. Charity lowered herself again and Vanessa felt Charity's breasts graze over her own, but there was time for just one kiss before Vanessa lifted herself up just enough to begin to remove her tank top and with help from Charity, it came off in one single motion.
Charity got back down on Vanessa and kissed her again, hard. She knew what Vanessa needed and she began kissing her down her neck to the space between her chest before taking her entire left breast in her mouth, pulling up slowly and giving her nipple a small bite before releasing it. Vanessa was in ecstasy as she reached back to grab the pillow with one hand while holding Charity's face to her body with the other. She wanted Charity's tongue to cover every inch of her body.
Every moan and each heavy breath encouraged Charity to find a new place to lick; a different body part to suck. She worked Vanessa into a proper frenzy using her mouth, her tongue, her hands, her hair. If history was any guide, Vanessa was not going to last long as this was her second 'first' time. Charity snapped her head up so that her hair would cover Vanessa's chest and then she made her way down the length of Vanessa's body ever so slowly. Vanessa thought she might come just from the feeling of Charity's loose tendrils of hair tickling her breasts, and then stomach, as Charity dropped angel kisses down her body until she was low enough to remove her sleep shorts and underwear at the same time. She then made her way back up Vanessa's body using just the tip of her tongue to lick Vanessa's inner thigh all the way back up until she finally eased the ache between Vanessa's legs by using her tongue where Vanessa needed it most.
Charity ran her tongue over Vanessa's folds as her hands pushed Vanessa's legs apart. With greater access, Charity flicked her tongue over Vanessa's throbbing clit, then kissed it and sucked it. She continued to work her over like this for a few minutes alternating between fast vibrating patterns, slow forceful licks and entering her with her tongue. Charity would have gladly tasted her like this for an eternity, but she could tell that Vanessa was close to crumbling and she wanted Vanessa to come while in her embrace.
Charity wiped some of Vanessa's arousal from around her mouth using her shoulder and made her way back towards the headboard and Vanessa's eager lips. More passionate kissing ensued as Charity shifted her weight to one side and kept her body as close to Vanessa's as she could using her left hand to trace back down Vanessa's body, past her navel and back to her dripping wet core. She continued to kiss Vanessa's jawline and neck as she moved her three middle fingers gently over Vanessa's clit. First, her rigid fingers made a gentle circular pattern that pleasured every inch of Vanessa's body as she tensed and thrust her body up towards Charity's hand.
"Relax… try to slow down… open your legs wide." Charity encouraged as she set out to bring Vanessa to climax.
Vanessa was panting but focused on relaxing her tense body. She desperately tried to uncurl her toes and her legs fell to the side to allow Charity better access. She couldn't stop raising her hips up off the bed over and over, angling up against Charity's fingers to maximize the pressure that Charity was trying to withhold.
"Tell me what you want Ness."
Vanessa's rapid breath blew hot air into Charity's hair and each exhalation was paired with a rapid thrust up into Charity's fingers and she responded, "Inside, please. I want you inside of me."
Charity flattened her entire palm against Vanessa's clit and allowed her to gyrate against it for just a few moments before she moved her hand downward and slid two fingers into Vanessa's warmth and Vanessa responded with a loud moan as she clenched onto Charity's fingers and began to ride them at an even faster pace. Charity loved when Vanessa was frantic like this, but this wasn't just an exercise in pleasure and mutual affection. This was a decree from the only person whose opinion mattered that their history, their union, and their love for each other was real and something they both deserved. Vanessa knew that Charity might not be the perfect mother, the perfect landlady or the perfect person in general. But she accepted and loved the Charity that was perfectly herself.
Validation in hand, Charity tucked her head into Vanessa's neck and started to massage Vanessa's clit with her thumb as she moved curled fingers inside of Vanessa only to bring them slightly out again and repeat the motion over and over. Vanessa began bucking harder and faster and Charity knew it was time to bring Vanessa over the finish line. She pulled her fingers out slowly and immediately vibrated her middle three fingertips over Vanessa's clit with only the gentlest of pressure, but it was exactly what Vanessa needed to make her explode with pleasure.
"Oooh God. Charity… aaaah, don't stop," Vanessa screamed in ecstasy as she lost control and her body stiffened and then shuddered as her lower back lifted off the bed and pressed against Charity. Charity held Vanessa like she might fly into space if she didn't hug her as tightly as she could while Vanessa finished riding the waves of heat emanating out of her core and into every extremity of her body.
Vanessa was dizzy and gasping for air as the blood slowly started to pump towards other parts of her body that didn't still have Charity's hand pressing against them. The sound of Vanessa catching her breath was the sweetest music Charity had ever heard and she knew she was home.
Charity lifted her head so she could look into Vanessa's eyes. As soon as her eyes met Vanessa's, Vanessa brought her hand up to Charity's face and pulled her in for a brief but hard kiss. Charity tenderly removed her hand from between Vanessa's legs and Vanessa smiled at Charity.
"I've never been to that place before."
Charity looked at Vanessa, certain that she never looked so beautiful and said, "Oh babe, you ain't seen 'nuthin yet."
The women kissed again, pausing on occasion to stroke each other's face, run fingers through each other's hair and simply cuddle into each other, only to return to more kissing. It wasn't as urgent as before, but it was still passionate, sometimes gentle, and always sensual. Their breathing slowed back to a regular pace and they closed their eyes to memorize exactly how they felt at this moment.
Vanessa stroked her fingers across Charity's back and encouraged her to nuzzle into her neck and rest her head. Slumber finally found them both as they entered a blissful state.
