tremble

The only times Brielle Shepard ever trembled, it was in anticipation.

She had faced down the greatest threat to galactic civilization head-to-head countless time, but her body remained firm. There was only one time that she ever truly trembled.

In Kaidan's arms.

When he brushed his lips against her own and pressed against her. When he murmured beautiful words and made her blush. When he touched her and made her body sing.

When they trembled together, the whole word fell away.

There were times when Kaidan would look over and see Brielle shaking her leg restlessly, or rocking softly, or shivering slightly. That was her spark, hercatalyst. Kaidan would lean over and press his lips against hers, and Brielle would respond with grateful, eager enthusiasm.

He might then explore the length of her body with those lips, then disappear beneath her thighs as he drew her into his mouth. Or he might slide a hand beneath the waistband of her pants and press a finger inside of her, coaxing breathy moans from her as he kissed her more and more deeply.

She might want to push him down instead, to pull his own pants down and grasp his swelling cock; to pump him rapidly as she explored his body, from the ample muscles of his arms to the supple flesh of his neck. She might lower herself to his thighs, where she would brush her fingertips against the the more tender places, teasing heady groans from him before running her tongue against those same places, carefully and deliberately. She might then take all of him into her mouth then, still massaging his balls and perineum as she sucked and swallowed around him.

Sometimes they would come, then lay in each other's arms, calmed and sated. But not often.

Often, they would pause on the brink of a climax. Kaidan would press inside of her and Brielle would press her hips against his to meet him; there would be vigorous clutching and breathy moans and frenetic kisses that all melted into a single ball of euphoria and desire and glorious feeling around them.

When Brielle trembled, Kaidan knew. And he delivered her.
