Love Lies In Pain
"Jack." Mariah moaned, lying on the couch in the hub.
"Say my name, you'll be screaming it later..." He joked, helping Mariah up. She smiled weakly.
Her body was covered in glass shards, and blood clung to her skin. She gasped as Jack lifted her.
"It hurts." She whispered.
"I'm sorry, Mariah. Let's get you cleaned up. The others will sort everything out."
Mariah nodded. Jack took her in his arms and carried her down to the shower room. She stood up nervously, holding onto Jack's arms for support. Jack turned on the shower, and let the warm water cascade over Mariah's blood-covered body, washing away the glass. She fell closer to him; she was weak from the injuries. Her white top was becoming see-through under the water, and Jack couldn't help but notice her lacy underwear. He looked away.
"Stop it Jack," He told himself, staring at the wall ahead of him.
They were both standing huddled together under the shower, Mariah's wet hair clung to her face, and she looked up at Jack, her eyes wide and questioning. Jack stroked her shoulder and heard her gasp as he did so. And he knew the gasp wasn't from pain, he could see her outline from under her top.
Jack held his breath and started to kiss her neck. She moaned, arching herself towards him, her hands clambering at the buttons of his soaked through shirt. She undid his buttons, feeling his warm toned chest as he continued to kiss down her neck. Neither of them spoke...
He slowly pulled her top off, revealing her bruised stomach and chest.
"I need to get you some ointment..." He whispered "Stay there." He helped Mariah sit down in the corner of the shower and ran to his desk. Still soaked, and topless, he pulled out a bottle of cream and ran back to Mariah. She looked dizzy.
"Magic cream, 51st Century." He put some cream in his hands and began rubbing it into the cuts on her hands and arms, the wounds closing as he did so. He moved towards her stomach, rubbing the cream in with slow circular motions.
"Jack, that's so good..."
"The ointment or me?"
She groaned in reply. Jack took off her jeans, and his hands moved lower, touching the inside of her thighs. Mariah felt a shiver go through her, as she re-gained strength. Soon enough the last of her cuts were gone. Jack threw the empty container aside. Mariah stood up, fully healed.
"All better now?"
Mariah nodded. Jack looked at Mariah's perfect body. Mariah looked at Jack.
"Jack, you're wearing way too much clothing..." She proceeded to pull down his trousers.
As Mariah pulled his boxers down she pushed Jack against the wall. Mariah locked the edge of his lip with a bite, pushing her body weight against him. Jack put his fingers into her panties and pulled them down to her ankles, before undoing the clasp of her bra.
Jack sunk to the floor, pulling Mariah down on top of him, then rolling over so he was on top of her. Mariah licked Jack's teeth, and Jack closed his eyes. The water was still covering them both, the sound of the splashing drowning out Mariah 's moaning as Jack entered her. Mariah arched into him, matching his slow steady rhythm, feeling his heart beat fast against her hands...an everlasting heartbeat. He pushed her back against the wall, switching off the water supply as she did so. Now the only sound was the two of them, bodies moving, touching, feeling, gasping, exploring.
She stared into his sparkling eyes, feeling his hot breath rage against her cheeks as he panted, their breath mingling as their mouths joined in a passionate kiss. They stayed this way for hours, Jack keeping his thrusts slow until Mariah gasped, whispering faintly, and knowing the climax was near, Jack became faster and stronger, making their best moment worthwhile. They reached it together, forced into silence by the extent of their pleasure. They snuggled up into each other's arms until morning.
Jack awoke first, removed himself from Mariah and stood up. Sleeping on the shower floor never did anyone any good. He thought. But it was well worth it. He picked up Mariah, who was still asleep and took her over to his bed, laying her gently down. Mariah stirred, opened her eyes and smiled at Jack who smiled back at her before lying next to her and kissing her with ferocity like neither had ever known before.
