Chapter Twenty

Simul autem fortiori nobis – 'Together we are stronger'

November 30th 1988

10.32am

The winter sun shone through the break in the curtains, casting a feathered lighting unto Elizabeth's face. She rolled over and curled into Henry's side, buried her face into him determined to sleep a little more. As the sun rose higher it pierced through; creating a wave of warmth and light over their bodies. To wake with the sunlight shining is one of the best ways to start the day; to wake when the sunlight shines during winter, well that was a blessing, a rare opportunity that allowed you to illuminate from within. Henry flicked his eyes and looked down at the beautiful blonde in his arms, her hair splayed across the pillow and her face glowing as the sun cast over her. Henry couldn't help but smile in his sleepy state; she was everything. She was the warmth of the sun on a winters day, or as it's formerly known; Apricity.

Henry looked down over her body, the covers slightly kicked off revealing just one her slim golden legs, but it was enough to set his devilish mind off. He began to run his fingers through her hair and down her arm softly trying to arouse her from sleep and arouse her. She shifted in his arms but didn't open her eyes. Henry continued to walk his hands down her body watching her stir from her sleep slowly. He moved his body so he was now more on his side, he brushed her hair from her face and kissed her lips gently. Elizabeth felt his lips on hers and moaned into them as she slowly woke up.

She flickered her eyes opened and smiled as they fell upon him.

'Good Morning' she beamed like the sunshine. Henry didn't respond with words, he captured her lips in his again, this time running his tongue along her bottom lip, requesting access. Elizabeth welcomed the change and began to run her hand through his hair, groaning in response as he wrapped an arm around her body, pulling her underneath him. Once Henry was happy with the position she was in he placed on hand above her head to steady himself and with the other he began to run his hands up her tight, slowly skimming over her skin, sliding under the t-shirt she was wearing, up over the curve of her hips and to her breast.

Elizabeth's body rolled with the contact of his hand upping her breast, he began to tease her nipple between his fingers as his kisses trailed from her mouth down to her neck, sucking softly on the sweet spot he had previously found behind her ear. Her back arching under his touch, her eyes closing as the delightful pleasure of Henry McCord washed over her. Henry shifted his weight from his hand to his knees and used the new freedom to remove Elizabeth's clothes completely. Throwing the t-shirt to the side he instantly reconnected his lips to her skin, raking his tongue across her collarbone and down to her breasts. He took her nipple in his mouth, teasing it gently between his teeth before repeating himself with her other breast.

Her hands roamed his bare back and ran down to his boxer shorts as he turned her on. She continued to moan out in pleasure as he began to kiss own her stomach towards her core. Henry loved the taste of her; he glanced up briefly and noted her eyes were closed and her body twisting in anticipation, he smirked before moving his mouth back down to her centre. He slowly parted her legs, thankful she didn't wear underwear to bed, because he knew he couldn't wait any longer. He dipped his tongue between her folds. He began to place slow but long strokes up and down her centre, placing focus on her clit. He pushed a little harder adding pressure as her hands intertwined with his hair and her legs lifted, pushing into him a little as her arousal grew.

Lustful moans escaped her mouth rapidly as she climbed; each moan spurring Henry on as he grew himself. He was determined to pleasure her with everything he had, he used his other hand to insert two fingers inside her; he began to slowly move them allowing her a few moments to adjust before he pushed them in faster, harder and deeper with each movement. His tongue flicked at her clit, and he began to feel her push her hips up into him; signalling she was close. Her breathing became more and more erratic as he sucked her and pumped her, her moans of his name became louder and louder until she couldn't take it anymore and she fell spectacularly over the edge.

Her muscles tightened around his fingers and she spilled into his fingers. Her body twisted and coiled before him as she rode out her orgasm, Elizabeth attempted to open her eyes and looked down between her legs at a grinning Henry, she laughed in pleasure and panted; she tugged at his arms and attempted to pull him up towards her. As he lifted himself up towards her she used her hands to tug away his boxers. Henry kicked them off and situated himself between her legs, using his knees he widened them a little further, his tip teasing her entrance. Elizabeth lifted her legs and wrapped them around him, pulling him closer to her and her core. Henry used his hand to guide himself inside her; he slowly penetrated her deeply, her body curling up into his as he pushed inside.

Henry knew his own arousal needed attention so it didn't take long before he began to thrust into her and thrust hard. Elizabeth's hands left his naked body as they gripped the bed sheets beneath her, Henry's animalistic side grew with every thrust inside her, seeing her unravel was one of his favourite sights; He grabbed her hips and squeezed his fingers into her skin, his throbbing length thrusting in and out deeply and quickly, every time his body colliding with hers, sending shockwaves coursing through their bodies and loud lustrous moans filled the air as they escaped Elizabeth's mouth.

'Fuckk Elizabeth' he grunted

'Oh fuc-' she couldn't finish her sentenced as her body began to build with that old familiar feeling. Her legs shook beneath her, her hand outstretched to grab henrys hand; he interlinked his fingers with hers and placed their connected hands above her head. Henry rolled his body into hers determine to send her over the edge he used everything in him to pound into her hard, and fast. Panting with every incision, the aromatic smell of sex filling the air as her climax sent her screaming into the night, Henry following suit collapsing into her.

He slowed his motions before pulling away and falling to her side. He wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead

'Good morning Elizabeth' he chuckled as she panted, placing a hand on his chest. She looked up at him her eyes pouring with colour and lust as she smiled.

'You can wake me up like that anytime' she laughed and he winked at her. He leant down and pulled the duvet back up over them and nuzzled back down into his pillow. He watched as she closed her eyes softly enjoying the aftermath of the pleasure.

Henry caressed her face and moved a few strands of hair out of her face, his heart swelled as her breathing changed and she slipped into a light sleep. He pulled her towards him, missing the connection and closed his eyes as he rested his fore head onto hers. The morning sunshine at a lot to answer for; but it highlights the importance of positivity in our lives, for had the sun not shone through their day might have started differently. Rather than concentrate on the cold, winters day that awaited them just outside, they opted to bask in the glory of the sun and enjoy every delight it offered up.
