XOXO

Chapter 36 "A new adventure... part 17"

Marina leaded Clara towards the bed while they rushed to undress eachother. Leaving a trail of clothes and underwear behind. They kissed passionately and stumbled naked onto the bed in eachothers arms. They both started to laugh, before the longing took over again. The air around them charged and Clara rolled herself on top off Marina, her body aching for her in ways she couldn't control. Marina's gaze revealed her arousal and Clara felt how her hands didn't linger, nor took the time, but went directly to the place they needed to go. Marina groaned by Clara's touch and she arched her back, while Clara's fingers slipped between her folds. She wrapped her arms around Clara's neck and dugged her nails into her skin.

"Ooh God, Clara..." she moaned and pressed her head onto the pillow.

She gasped for air when Clara's fingers slipped fluently into her body. She closed her eyes and felt how her body trembled heavily.

"You feel so good…" Clara moaned while her lips trailed over Marina's neck.

Clara's tongue slid down towards her breasts and set her skin on fire. She removed her hands from Clara's body and grabbed the header behind her. Every inch of her body tensed while Clara's fingers moved in and out of her, her tongue licking her sensitive skin. In a way that drove Marina insane.

She completely surrendered herself to Clara, and got intoxicated by her passion. She seemed to know exactly where to touch her, how to move and when to kiss her. Almost as if she had designed her body. In no time she balanced on the edge and groaned in anticipation.

Clara sealed their lips together and Marina didn't know whether to come or to cry. How was it possible to be pleased in such a mind blowing and yet intimate way?

Clara pressed her fingers deep inside her, before Marina erupted into an intense orgasm.

After she had returned the favor to Clara, they were riding out the aftershocks together. Holding eachother close, their hearts racing synchronously.

Marina traced over Clara's jaw line with her fingertips and gazed at her swollen lips.

"That was..." Marina whispered.

"Amazing!" Clara quickly finished her sentence.

Marina chuckled and pecked her lips.

They were not saying anything, but just stared in eachothers eyes for a long while. As if they were communicating through some secret language. One that only involved gazes and touches.

"I can lay here all week with you..." Marina softly said and faced Clara dreamy.

Although her happiness was escalating, she felt something else creeping at the edges of her heart. Clara must have sensed something was wrong, because her expression turned slightly concerned.

"What's wrong, love?" she whispered and softly caressed Marina's flushed cheek.

Marina swallowed and closed her eyes for a second. She realized that being in love didn't equate being out of pain.

"I don't want you to leave.." she confessed and faced her gloomily.

Clara's expression changed, becoming even softer, even more tender.

"Marina, listen to me... It's only two more weeks. We can do this!" she said persuasively."And after that we'll be together.."

Marina inhaled deeply and pulled Clara back into her arms. She felt how her body washed over by a calmness only Clara could provide her with. And the way she pronounced "we" caused goose bumps all over her body.

The next morning Clara woke up and instantly reached out for Marina, but her hands only found empty sheets. She opened her eyes and glanced around the room. She noticed it was only 08.00 am and wondered what had made Marina woke up this early.

"Good morning, beautiful!" Marina softly said while she entered the room.

Clara brushed the sleep out of her eyes and opened her arms.

"Come here..." she playfully ordered.

Marina smirked and climbed willingly onto the bed. She gently lay down besides Clara and pulled her into her arms. She enjoyed her hot body against her own. Clara rested her head on Marina's chest and her body immediately shivered by their contact.

"I missed you.." Clara whispered almost inaudible.

Marina felt how her lips curled up while she brushed through Clara's hair. They remained silent for a moment as Clara focused on the pounding of Marina's heart. How she loved that sound. She cherished those moments and the soothing effect by hearing its rhythm.

"Vanessa just called.." Marina suddenly whispered before she added "I'm dying to know what causes her good mood!"

Clara hesitated what to say since she'd made a promise to Flavinha. But Marina could read her so easily that she didn't even tried to hold it from her.

"I think it's because of Flavinha.." she softly said and lifted her head.

Marina faced her both startled as confused.

"Flavinha? What do you mean?" she asked unsure.

Clara glanced at the sheets for a second and gathered her thoughts. She wasn't completely sure about it, but it would explain Vanessa's sudden change of heart.

"I think there's something going on between the two of them.."

Marina turned even more confused and lifted her eyebrow. She grabbed her own chin while she processed what Clara just told her.

"What makes you say that? Flavinha isn't into women?" she said both stating as questioning.

Clara heard the confusion in her voice and realized she needed to tell her.

"Yes, Marina.. She is.."

Marina's jaw dropped and her eyes turned shocked when Clara added "And she's in love with Vanessa.."

She couldn't respond in words, so instead Marina let out a shriek of surprise. Her widened eyes faced Clara's as her lips slowly curled up.

"Are you sure?" she asked breathlessly.

"Yes, I'm sure... She told me.."

Marina felt completely overwhelmed by this news and instantly recalled if she'd missed the signs. Ofcourse she had noticed how at ease Flavinha was towards her orientation, but it never crossed her mind that she could be into women aswell. Not even when she found her and Vanessa together at the studio right before she left to Amsterdam.

"Wow... I didn't see that coming.." Marina confessed while she faced Clara still surprised. "Are you sure they are involved?"

Clara shook her head.

"No.. But it would explain a lot..."

Marina frowned and sat up straight.

"Yes, I guess you're right.." she whispered and tried to picture the two of them together.

She sighed when she suddenly realized that she had noticed some signs. Although she thought she misinterpreted them at that time. She still felt guilty about it and had buried the occasion.

"I should have known..." she whispered while Clara faced her closely. "I thought she was into you... And I confronted her with that..."

Now it was Clara's turn to startle as she faced her in shock.

"You what?!" she cried out.

Marina couldn't stop her lips from curling up while she explained what happened.

"She seemed more interested in you than before, and I noticed your interactions together.. I'm not proud of it, but I felt slightly jealous..."

She noticed how Clara's eyes turned from shocked to amused.

"Slightly?" Clara teased and playfully hit her arm.

"God, Clarinha... You want me to confess that I was so jealous that I totally embarrassed my dear friend? You should have seen her face.."

Clara couldn't stop herself from laughing. Not because of Flavinha, but due to Marina's jealousy. She loved to see her like that, it gave her the confirmation that she really cared for her. She wasn't used to that, because before Marina, Cadu never showed his jealousy. And that made her insecure.

"You like to see me jealous, you little bandit?" Marina smirked playfully and started to tickle Clara's sides.

She rolled herself on top off Clara and pressed her body close, so Clara couldn't escape from her. She cried out loud by Marina's movements and twisted under her.

"Stop it, please!" she laughed out of breath while she surrendered herself. "Yes, I love to see you like that!"

Marina pulled back her hands and lay one of them down on Clara's heaving chest. Her face covered by a huge smile, her eyes intensely. She slightly leaned down, their lips inches apart.

"I love to see you like this..." she whispered and noticed how Clara's breath became shallow.

She gently tucked Clara's hair behind her ear and closed the space between them.
