Chapter 80: Ready
Orianna P.O.V
As we sat in Relda driving back to my apartment, I found myself stealing glances at Lennox as we drove along. /He really was a very handsome man/. I looked down at our joined hands and smiled to myself.
''What? What is it?'' Lennox's concerned voice interrupted my thoughts. ''Do I have something on my face?'' He removed a hand from the steering wheel wiping at his face as he pulled into my street.
I burst out laughing. ''No Lennox!'' I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders, ''Just - admiring the view.'' I removed my hand from his and lightly ran my fingers through his short brown hair and down the side of his face.
Lennox shifted on his seat as he pulled up outside my apartment. Turning off the engine, he reached out to capture my hand, bringing it to his lips. ''Why thank you Miss Connors.'' He smirked up at me, the touch of his lips and the heat of his breath sent a warm tingling sensation coursing through me once again. ''But I much prefer the view I have.'' He gently kissed my hand several times, all the while his gaze never left mine.
I launched myself across the car at him, wrapping my arms around his neck and drawing him in for a deep and passionate kiss. Lennox groaned into my mouth as his hands snaked out to entwine in my hair, pulling me even closer to him. We had been teasing and flirting all night and I could no longer contain my desire for him. /I wanted him/.
Lennox's right hand released its hold on my locks, sliding down my cheek, my neck and over my left breast. I gasped into his mouth and moaned as his hand gently cupped and squeezed my breast, his fingers grazing my nipple, teasing it to attention. A delicious warmth began to pool between my thighs as his hands roamed my body.
''Lennoxxx!'' I growled and in one swift movement, I straddled him, pressing myself against his lap. I could feel how much he desired me, and I grabbed hold of the headrest behind him and ground my hips against his, my tongue tasting him deeply.
''Nngh! OC!'' Lennox threw his head back and clutched at my shoulders stilling my movements. He was panting heavily, his eyes hooded, and lust filled as he looked up into my face.
I chuckled as I leaned down to innocently nibble and tease along his neck as my hand slipped under his shirt and I ran my fingers lightly over his muscled chest and abdomen. ''MMmm? What Lennox?''
Lennox hissed out loud as he shook his head. ''OC, I don't know how much longer I can stop myself from… from..'' A light sheen of perspiration had broken out on his forehead.
I chuckled against his chest, my tongue darting out to flick his nipple as I sat up. Lennox bucked up against me and grasped my hips tightly. ''From what Lennox?'' I smirked down at him. ''Finishing sentences?''
''HA!'' he burst out as he shook his head. ''Oh, you'll bloody-well keep OC.'' He closed his eyes tightly and exhaled as he tried to control himself. Opening his eyes once more, he reached out and gently cupped my cheek. ''You know, it's getting harder and harder walking away from you at the end of every date.'' Lennox looked at the significant bulge in his crotch and back up at me, winking. ''Literally!''
I bit my lower lip in appreciation at the sight before me and sighed out loud. Brushing long, tangled strands of my black and red locks behind my ear, I whispered, ''Well then,'' I reluctantly slid off his lap and shuffled back across the seat towards the passenger door, reefing it open. ''Don't''.
Stepping out of the car, I began to walk towards my apartment, turning around halfway across the lawn when I did not hear another car door open. I folded my arms across my chest, jutting out a hip in mild annoyance. ''Would you prefer to stay in the car Lennox?'' I turned and continued walking up to my room. The sound of a car door slamming, and hurried footsteps seconds later, drew a smile to my face.
As I climbed the several flights of stairs, I felt a nervous anticipation and a stab of guilt pulse through me simultaneously. I worried my lower lip as I fished around in my handbag for my keys. Although Lennox was more than ready to sleep together, had been since day one, I had yet to make that decision. I had never really been quite ready. I smiled sadly to myself. I guess a small part of me felt I was being unfaithful to Optimus by giving all of myself to another.
/''Your heart is yours to give to whomever you deem worthy''/.
My fingers brushed against the cold metal of the keys as his words came unbidden to me. I almost shook my head as I pulled them out and shoved them into the lock. His voice was not what I wanted to be focused on right now! The sound of Lennox jogging up the stairs drew me back to the moment and I smiled to myself as I recalled our wonderful evening together. /Yes. It was time. I was ready/.
I turned the keys in the lock as I felt Lennox lean up against the door frame behind me. ''Ah, OC?'' He chuckled nervously as he ran a hand through his hair.
''Hmm?'' I replied casually as I opened the door and turned the light on. ''Yes Lennox?''
He stepped to the threshold, casting a cautious yet hopefully glance between me and the rooms beyond. ''Earlier at the restaurant and like just now. Are…. Are you saying what I think you're saying?''
I walked in and dropped my handbag on the entrance table. Kicking my heels off, I strolled over to the hallway, pausing in the walkway. In one fluid movement, I grabbed my figure-hugging, floral-print dress I was wearing and peeled it off over my head, discarding it on the floor beside me.
I leaned up against the wall wearing only my lacy navy bra and G-string. Folding my arms across my chest to enhance the swell of my breasts, I sighed out loud in mock exasperation. ''What do you think Lennox?''
Without a word, he stepped inside and shut the door behind him. In a swift movement, he stepped out of his shoes and reefed the linen shirt off over his head. I bit my lower lip in anticipation as I admired his toned and tanned body. His eyes roamed lasciviously over my curves as he stalked forward. The heat that had begun to build between us returned as I saw his desire for me.
A low growl was all I heard from him as he covered the distance between us in several paces. His arms reached out, picking me up in one swift, sure motion as his lips descended on mine, hungrily devouring me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and moaned into his mouth as his momentum carried us backwards, crashing into the wall.
I gasped into his mouth as he wrapped an arm around me and slapped the other against the wall by my head. Pushing his body against mine, Lennox pinned me hard against the wall. I could feel his need pressing against me and I rolled my hips against his again, desperate to feel him. He bit down on my lip almost painfully as he thrust his hips into mine, groaning.
I threw my head back and whimpered. /Fuck I needed this. I needed to feel loved. I needed to feel wanted. I just needed to feel!/.
Lennox removed his hand from beside my head and I felt and heard him reach down and fumble with his pants. His breath was ragged and rapid as his eyes locked onto mine. An unspoken question shone within them as he pressed his rock-hard cock between my legs against my wet, willing entrance.
My whole body was trembling, from need, desire – fear. Everything would change the moment we crossed this line. Between Lennox and I and especially between…. /NO!/. I shook my head and squeezed my eyes shut trying to banish thoughts of him.
''OC?'' Lennox growled desperately, bending forward to lean his forehead against mine. ''Do. You. Want. This?'' He accentuated every word with a kiss to my lips.
I looked at the man before me. His face did not have many scars on it hidden in the beginnings of a five o'clock shadow. His temples did not have greying hair peppered through them and his eyes and mouth did not have many fine wrinkles and lines around them. His eyes were a deep chocolate brown, not an incredible azure blue and, although they gazed upon me with desire and need, they were not the same. /None ever could be/.
I closed my eyes as I nodded my head slowly. I could not speak. I tightened my legs around his waist, pulling him toward me in answer to his question.
Lennox gave a low, guttural growl of desire as he captured my lips in a searing kiss and, at the same time, thrust deep inside me. I cried out into his kiss at the sensation of being filled and stretched so suddenly, my fingers digging violently into his back.
''YESSS!'' Lennox hissed as he began to pull out and thrust back in. ''GOD YES OC..'' His hands reached down and cupped my buttocks, pulling me onto him as he drove deeper, again and again. ''Fuck I want you…'' He whispered hotly in my ear as he leaned forward, his hard length sliding in and out, the friction building delightfully. ''Wanted this… for so long..''
My breaths came in sharp gasps and pants as I clawed at his back and arched up against him, desperate to find release. ''Yess… more…'' I urged him on. ''FUCK ME!'' I barked wildly at him.
He growled ferally as he covered my lips with his, his hips moving swiftly against mine. The rhythmic dull, thud of flesh against flesh intoxicating as we both began to build towards our climax. There was nothing gentle or romantic about our first time. It was not making love, it was sex. Raw, desperate, and exactly what I needed - /to forget/.
Lennox grunted and groaned, his fingers grabbing my arse and upper thigh with bruising force as his thrusts sped up. /So close.. I was so close!/. ''DON'T FUCKING STOP!'' I screamed. It felt so good.
''OCCC..'' he groaned. He shifted his angle slightly and I cried out in pleasure, finding sweet release as he emptied himself inside me, making some nonsensical noise. His thrusts slowed, his breath hot and labored against my sweaty neck.
Leaning forward, he rested his forehead against mine. ''Oh, OC..'' He panted as he kissed my lips tenderly. I could feel the tang of sweat as he tasted me. I could still feel him inside me as he carefully lowered us to the floor and pulled me close to his chest. ''That was… '' He shook his head as he struggled to get his breath back.
I drew in great gasps of air as I chuckled against his lips and kissed him. ''Yeah. It was.'' My heart was still racing as I placed my hand on his chest, his own heart beating rapidly from his exertions.
Lennox kissed the top of my head and sighed out loud. ''I'm sorry.''
I creased my brow in utter confusion as I strained to look at him. ''Sorry? What on earth for Lennox? I told you I wanted to do that.''
Lennox shrugged his shoulders and sighed out loud again as he pulled me close. ''Well, I kind of got carried away there and well…'' He paused a moment, his voice dropping low. ''Let's just say I don't normally finish as quickly as that!''
I snorted out loud and playfully slapped his slick chest. ''Jesus Lennox! I thought you had suddenly had second thoughts about us.''
''FUCK NO OC!'' He replied forcefully, pulling me tightly against him and once again kissing the top of my head as he chuckled. ''On the contrary,'' he placed a finger under my chin urging me to look at him. I bit my lower lip at the familiar action, almost expecting to look up into a pair of azure optics only to find Lennox staring at me, a very serious expression on his face. ''Being with you these past few weeks, tonight at dinner and just now, has made me realise just how incredibly lucky I am.''
/''Lennox is a lucky man…I wish you every happiness''/. Prime's voice echoed through my mind.I gasped out loud and blinked my eyes at the unexpected intrusion.
''What OC?'' Lennox snorted. ''Shocked I could feel that way about you?''
I kissed the placed above his heart and then his lips. I shrugged my shoulders as I smirked up at him. ''Well….''
Without a word he began to tickle me, and I screamed out loud as I squirmed around on the floor. ''Told you, you'd keep OC.'' His fingers seemed to find all my weak spots with uncanny accuracy. I could not help laughing out loud in delight as he teased me.
''Stop! Stop! PLEASE!'' I begged as I lay on my back, hands up in surrender.
Lennox positioned himself above me. ''Well, I guess you said the magic word OC, so I am obliged to stop.'' He leaned down and kissed me soundly.
I stared up at him. It did feel different between us. But not in a bad way. He was still just Lennox and he still enjoyed teasing me. /It's what we do/. Only now….
''What?'' Lennox arched a brow quizzically at me.
I reached up and placed a hand behind his head. ''Well, I don't know, Lennox, if I want you to stop everything just yet.'' I pulled him down towards me and kissed him long and slow. I felt him move one of his arms to cradle my head and the other propped himself up above me. As he pulled away from me, the stirrings of a familiar bulge pressed into me yet again. And I looked up at him in surprise.
Lennox chuckled. ''Well, what can I say OC. Told you I've been wanting you for so long.''
I gazed wantonly up at him as I drew him towards me. My hands roamed down the expanse of his tanned and toned back, caressing, and lightly teasing him, earning another groan of desire. ''Well, then Lennox. I better not keep you waiting any longer.''
As he leaned down to capture my lips, I closed my eyes and as I did so I could have sworn those chocolate brown eyes turned a vibrant blue and an achingly familiar, deep voice echoed through my mind.
/Orianna… PLEASE!/.
