Run Little Rabbit
Chapter Thirty: Delicate as a Rose
A/N: The second name that was drawn from the hat is the second mate Bella gets with in this chapter. Then we'll have one chapter focusing the third mate. And after that? Well, another big decision that Bella will have to make, but we'll get to that later.
I woke up, disoriented, two hours later. I quickly sat up among the unfamiliar sheets, and regretted the action when the soreness between my legs flared up. I had been fucked hard and I was going to be feeling it for days to come.
Memories of what had happened came flooding back to me and I turned red from embarrassment. I had really done all that with Sulpicia. Speaking of her, where was she? She wasn't in the room and I felt lonely. Perhaps she had some queenly business to attend to? I saw there was a change of clothes waiting for my on the drawer that she had prepared. Before I would put them on, I had to shower.
I went into her private shower, carefully cleaning myself. There were purple marks were her lips had been and I was secretly proud of them. I just hoped the others wouldn't get too upset when they saw them.
I had to consummate my bond with Didyme and Athenadora as well, if I wanted them to be my mates and be in my life. I knew who I was going to go to next. Didyme.
I needed her gentle touch more than ever now, as I winced when my thighs rubbed together. Sulpicia would have to be tamed. I couldn't be walking sore like this for days after. I finished my shower and changed into my fresh clothes. My feet carried me to where I knew Didyme would be. Among the flowers.
She smiled when she saw me, but stayed put on the grass until I neared her and sat down next to her. "I...I feel compelled to ask how it was, but at the same time I don't think I want to know." She spoke up when she saw me, and I grew sheepish.
I shook my head. Talking about sleeping with Sulpicia would be too awkward, especially since I wanted to sleep with Didyme too. The desire hadn't left me, and I could feel it warming up inside my veins, urging me to make her my mate as well. Ever since I had slept with Sulpicia, I could feel the bond between us had strengthened. And I wanted the same for Didyme too.
"I...I don't want to talk about that now," I whispered, as we sat side by side. Lilies. Lilies surrounded us, a pure white shade. Had she planted these for me? They hadn't been here last time, and I knew lilies symbolized pure love and love among women.
They almost seemed to glow ethereal.
"I just want to know why," Didyme said, plucking up one and covering her pouty lips with the flower head.
"Why what?" I asked, my heart slamming up into my throat. I expected them to be upset at me to some degree for picking them in the order I had. But I was merely following my heart. Sulpicia had to be shown love first, so she wouldn't pick fights with the others, so that the love could soothe her. Didyme was calmer, more reasonable. She was patient and she would make up for what Sulpicia lacked: a loving touch.
"Why pick me?"
I let out a relieved sigh at this. I thought she was going to ask me something else. "Why wouldn't I? You're amazing. I have never met such a kind and sweet vampire as you." And it was true. Didyme seemed an antithesis to vampires everywhere. I knew she hadn't been like this in the past, but things had changed. She had changed, and for the better. How could I ever cast her aside when her heart had been broken for so long?
She deserved happiness; didn't we all? And though I had never expected me to be that source of happiness for her, I was going to do my best to treat them all well. To love them equally. I would teach Sulpicia how to be kinder, I would nurture Didyme's gentile nature, and for Athenadora...well, I would fed her curiosities.
"And it's the mate bond too, the draws me to you. Truly, I have no idea why these mate bonds exist in me, all three, but...I suppose I don't mind. Because I got to met you."
"You flatter me with sweet words," Didyme sighed out. "I admit I am jealous knowing you probably said the same thing to Athena or Sulpicia."
"Sulpicia doesn't deserve my kind words yet, and as for Athenadora, you have no reason to be jealous of her. I have not gone to her yet."
"I'm the middle piece then. The glue that holds us all together," Didyme murmured, playing with the flower head in between her slender fingers.
"I know I said I choose all three of you, but let me ask this again, do you chose me Didyme?" I asked, holding my breath. If she felt this poly relationship wouldn't be for her, then I would allow her to leave it, even if it would hurt me. But if the tentative mate bond between us broke, we would eventually get over the pain.
"Of course I chose you. I want to love again," she breathed out, and at this this I did not resist my urge any longer, and I leaned in to kiss her. It was a chaste kiss; a press of lips on lips. Savouring the sensation of knowing that this kiss would lead to many more that would lead to us finally cementing this bond between us. I shivered in anticipation and allowed her to reciprocate the kiss, as her hand cupped my cheek. Eventually the kiss got bolder, our eyes slipping closed, mouths opening, tongues sliding in. I moaned quietly when her tongue tangled with mine. We didn't try to fight for dominance. We were equals in this moment, as in every moment we had insofar spent together.
Unlike with Sulpicia, who demanded to be in control, who demanded to have my subservience, Didyme saw on the same level as her despite my human status. Didyme pushes me lightly and I fall back onto my back on the slightly chilly and damp grass.
Her kisses and touches are sweet; an antithesis to Sulpicia's. I could feel my aches melting away as Didyme took care of me, making sure her touches were feather light on my skin as she slowly undressed me. First my shirt, then my pants, taking human time to go so. She was in no rush and neither was I. If Sulpicia had fucked me, then Didyme was making love to me. And I felt wrapped in her warmth, even if her body exuded none. My heart full knowing she cared this deeply for me.
Didyme then took off my bra, her mouth descending down my neck to my collarbone to my breasts, latching onto every spot where purple bruises lay, attempting to mark over them. To brand me with her own touch.
I moaned quietly under her, hips grinding up into her own hips, urging her on. To hurry. But I knew she would not, her blonde strands tickling my skin as her head got lower, sucking in one of my nipples. My hand came down to her head, pushing it down more, encouraging her to continue this as my eyes fluttered open and shut.
"I love you Bella," she murmured, letting go of my nipple with a pop, smiling fondly down at me.
"I love you too," I told her breathlessly as I guided her head back down to my breasts. She spent equal time on them both, building me up piece by piece, until my whole body was thrumming with arousal, until the wetness between my thighs had thoroughly soaked through my underwear. They clung to me uncomfortably and I bucked my hips up, frustrated. I could take no more.
Didyme sensed this, and finally kissed her way down to my hips, sliding my panties off and throwing them somewhere else. I parted my hips, gleaming wetness awaiting her. She licked her lips, eyes gone black with desire, and voice turned husky. She ran a finger down my folds, gathering the moisture there before she popped the finger into her mouth.
"Delicious. You truly taste so delicious, Bella," and then she laid down between my thighs, holding them with her hands. Her lips teasingly brushed my inner thighs, making me tense up as I embarrassingly moaned loudly, too excited to hold back my cries. This seemed to please her, as her lips were curved up in a smile against my flesh. Then she started kissing me there, going up from my knee to stopping right in front of where I needed her. Then she repeated this process on my other leg, making me writhe with tension.
"Didyme, I need you," I whimpered, trying to hump my hips upwards for any sort of friction.
"I know," she told me, letting out a puff of air against my overly sensitive lips. My clit was throbbing like crazy. I was sure I would come shortly after she began to touch me. "I've got you," sh told me and then pressed a kiss to my sodden folds. I threw my head back, not expecting the explosion of pleasure that rocked through me. I hadn't come yet, but I was dangerously close to it.
She had built me up beautifully, tuning my body like a piano. Tending to me like those wonderful flowers blooming in her garden. Anything she touched, she perfected.
"I want you to only feel me down here," she said. "I want to erase the way she touched you." I could hear a hint of possessiveness in her voice and I loved it.
"Yes, make me only think of you," I exhaled as she kissed me between the thighs again. She began to eat me out, almost as if she was making out with my lower lips like she would with my upper lips. The results had me trying to squeeze my thighs together as pressure built up below my navel.
Pressing kisses, entering me with her tongue, flicking my clit.
"Didyme," I moaned out. "I'm going to-" before I could even finish I had cum, all over her face.
She didn't seem to mind, allowing me to ride her mouth as I came down from my high. When I finished she pulled away, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. I felt so happy, floating on a cloud. She smiled down at me, giving me time to recover, while she stripped off her clothes and threw them to the side.
Hesitantly I lifted up a hand to touch her breast. It was hard and standing to attention. Sulpicia hadn't let me touch her like this, so I was going to enjoy my time in exploring Didyme. She straddled my waist, allowing my warm hands to roam over cold skin. I found that her nipples were especially sensitive for her and that when I was rough with them, pinching and flicking them, her hips did a cute little jump up, trying to grind into my jutting hip bone to get off.
"I want to taste you too," I told her, when I felt my own desire rise again into that fiery heat from before.
She slid off of me, and laid down on the grass, holding her arms up to embrace me as I crawled over to her, slotting my body over hers. "Tell me what will feel good," I told her as I began to kiss my way down, first from her lips, to her neck, to her breasts. I wanted to mark her the same way she could mark me, but I knew the hardness of vampire skin would not let me. I would only end up breaking my teeth if I did that.
"Right there," Didyme said, when my mouth kissed around her belly button and her stomach quivered. I kissed around that area again, enjoying the way she shook and writhed at the sensation. I could smell her arousal from here, and it made my mouth water. I couldn't wait to taste her, to have her pouring down my chin.
Greedily, I peeled her thighs apart and took a second to appreciate the delicate petals between her thighs. They were so pink and puffy. It seemed I wasn't the only one who had been desperate for touch. I lowered my mouth to where she needed me, smirking when her clit twitched adorably at the touch of my mouth on her lower lips.
I began to lick and suck earnestly, drawing delicate sounds out of her mouth as she fisted the earth around her, nails sinking in to stop herself from grabbing at my head. With one hand, I spread her folds out more, so I could get even deeper, pressing my face in, wanting her to feel as good as I did.
"Bella!" she gasped out harshly and then she was folding upwards, biting on the back of her knuckles as she came. Wetness flooded my mouth and I flicked her clit to extend the pleasure. She bit down harder on her knuckles at this, body eventually relaxing and collapsing back onto the grass as she sucked in some air.
But I wasn't done. I wanted more.
I dragged her hips closer to mine, slipping my thigh in between her, positioning us properly. She looked up at me curiously but did not ask.
Then, I placed both of our sodden folds together, and began to rock forward. Didyme quickly picked up on what I was trying to do, bucking her hips up into mine, as I ground down on her. Liquids dripped down onto the ground between us, the sound of her folds rubbing together quite obscene in the quiet of the garden.
"Mmm," she murmured, eyes rolling into the back of her head as she felt how wet I was against her own wetness. I too, loved how she felt against me, her most intimate place on mine. Her hands came to wrap around my lower back, pulling me harder into the thrusts. Our timing began to get sloppy as we both got closer to our peak.
"Come with me," Didyme whispered to me, and I did. With one last jerk of my hips, I was coming, all over her, as she came all over me. We stilled, panting heavily in our after glow. Tired, I flopped off of Didyme and onto the ground next to her, staring up at the glass ceiling of the greenhouse. The lilies swayed overhead, as if celebrating mine and her consummation.
"That was amazing," I breathed out, when I caught my breath and she giggled in agreement, before rolling over on top of me. Softly, she stroked the stray hair out of my eyes.
"I cannot wait to do this with you, over and over again," she confessed, her eyes turning back to their red color.
"Yea, now that we're truly mated, we can do whatever we want," I told her, leaning up a bit to peck her on her lips.
"Where do we go from here?" she asked me, resting her hand on my shoulder, hand coming up to play with my hair.
"I...I don't know. I didn't think past this moment."
She snorted, amused. "Typical human, only thinking of sex."
"I think of other things too!" I defended playfully.
"Such as?"
"You know, eating, sleeping, all those human things I have to do," I told her.
"I know you are human Bella. It's what makes our mate bond so much more special, and I want you to know, that I will stay by your side always."
I knew there was a lot more to be touched upon in this topic. I was human, and I would age. I would look old and yet still have Didyme who was young and unaging, by my side. Humans also died. What would Didyme do when I left her behind? Would she be alright?
But I didn't want to think about that just yet. We still had time; I was still young. We would tackle those things later. I laid there and closed my eyes, Didyme on top of me. Somehow I drifted off and when I did, it was to Didyme carrying me over to a bench. "I didn't mean to wake you," she told me, "but you were growing cold and I was growing worried."
Didyme was back in her clothes. She set me on the bench. "I brought you some clothes. You might want to get dressed."
"Thank you," I told her and quickly got dressed. I was sticky between my thighs, but I no longer ached there. It was as if Didyme's touch had truly cured me. I would need to shower before I went anywhere else. But for now, I figured I could afford to spend some more time with her.
"Can we just sit here for a while longer?" I asked her. She had fed my heart full of her love, but I wanted my heart to be bursting with it.
"Of course," she acquiesced, and sat down next to me. We held hands as she stared at nothing in particular, my head resting on her shoulder.
The moment was eventually ruined when I realized I had not ate today, and probably should eat something. I bide her goodbye and headed back to my room, throwing her a smile over my shoulder that she gladly returned.
