"Just let go" Laudna had told her, as her fingernails sought to leave marks on the smooth skin of Imogen's hips.
Imogen let out a strangled moan, rocking forward, seeking more contact.
"Laud, I need you," she said, barely able to form the words.
"And I need you" was Laudna's response as her lips moved to Imogen's neck, leaving a path of kisses, covering her in pure fire.
Imogen's fingers got lost in strands of silky dark hair, guiding Laudna in her incandescent path down her neck. Laudna's hands had found the hem of the other woman's nightgown and wasted no time running up her thighs until she cupped her bottom and pressed her body against her own.
"...fuck" Imogen lost all coherence in her words and Laudna loved it, leaving her girl unable to form sentences seemed to be her most important goal.
And with that goal in mind, she spread her legs slightly apart and moved her own hips against an Imogen who kept moving on top of her. Her lips trailed down and made their way into the neckline of the other woman's nightgown.
Imogen's body responded instinctively, moving slightly away from her to give her easy access, her fingers on Laudna's hair closing a little tighter as she guided her to the place where her skin needed to feel those cold lips. Laudna let herself be guided but much slower than Imogen intended, she took advantage of every inch of skin she had access to, kissing every freckle she could reach, caressing every detail of her skin with her tongue.
"No…it's not…" Imogen's words trailed off on a moan as she rocked forward again.
"No what, dear"
"It's not enough, Laud... more... faster"
Laughter vibrated through Laudna's body.
"Let me enjoy you, dearling." she told her, punctuating her statement with a kiss between Imogen's breasts. "We have time before you wake up"
Imogen's eyes, which had been closed until then, suddenly opened. She pulled away from Laudna's lips a little and cupped her face in her hands.
"I'm not asleep, baby" she told her with all the sincerity and seriousness that her disheveled state allowed her. "I'm here with you because I want you. I want you to do all these things to me and much more"
Laudna had fallen silent staring deeply into the lilac gaze upon her.
"I want you to take me, Laudna. Right now"
Imogen focused on the face in front of her and with superhuman effort, snapped out of the dream.
Back in the room, under the stillness of the night and before opening her eyes, Imogen tried to calm her breathing, her body was on fire and without Laudna's touch she felt that she could burn forever. She felt Laudna lying next to her, she felt the fear coming in waves from her, lying on her back without daring to move. Maybe Laudna kept thinking that she was asleep, just dreaming all this, maybe she didn't want to...
Before all the doubts could take over Imogen, Laudna's lips returned to her neck so real and solid that Imogen moaned loudly before finally opening her eyes.
"Laud, please…" she said, barely containing her voice.
The woman's slim body lay on top of her, both gasping at the contact of the other's body. The feeling wasn't like in the dream where everything seemed more muted but more real, hotter, more urgent.
"Tell me what you want, darling," Laudna whispered close to Imogen's lips.
"Please touch me…"
With the same fervor that Imogen felt, Laudna kissed her, closing her fist on the fabric of her chemise and pulling it up. Imogen's arms closed around her neck and one leg rose invitingly. An invitation that Laudna understood loud and clear, wasting no time she placed her body between the legs of the woman who eagerly awaited for her.
Laudna moved once, tentatively. Imogen threw her head back, a strangled moan tangled in Laudna's nerve fibers, lighting her insides on fire.
"Gods, Laud…"
Suddenly, Imogen realized that there were too many clothes between them. Her hands roamed the delicate frame of Laudna's body until they reached her hips, the other woman's lips had returned to her neck which almost made her forget the reason for the movement but when Laudna moved forward again on top of her, the heat between her legs reminded her.
Laudna's nightgown had ridden up a bit and Imogen managed to reach the edge of it, she wasted no time taking it and insistently pulling it up even higher.
"Why the hurry?" Laudna's husky voice swept over Imogen's skin like it was the sexiest caress in the world.
"Next time we'll have time to do things slowly, Laudna. I need you now"
"Next time?" Laudna's smile, with her lower lip caught between her teeth, was sexy and shy at the same time.
Imogen believed that she couldn't fall any further in love with the woman but with every heartbeat she fell deeper.
"Do you think one night will be enough?"
"No," the certainty in Laudna's voice reassured her. "I don't think that what remains of my un-life will be enough for me to kiss every inch of your body"
Yes, she definitely fell more and more, and with pleasure.
As if to prove her words, Laudna's fingers caressed a fresh mark on her neck, next to Imogen's pulse, and her nails scraped the sensitive skin before moving lower. Imogen was amazed that such a simple caress could make her breath quicken; and combined with Laudna's gaze, dark and hungry, sent a pulse of fire to her core.
Laudna's nails made their way to where the buttons of the nightgown were, so far open just to the valley of Imogen's breasts, and she continued to undo them. Desperately slowly. The low whine from the girl below her made her laugh throaty again, this time Imogen felt it vibrate over her, around her.
Before she could protest again, Laudna's lips met the path of her fingers, silencing her claims and causing Imogen to move her hips against her, seeking a little more friction. Laudna moaned against her skin, she was finding it very difficult not to give in to her desire but by all the gods, she would take as long as she could to enjoy the body of the woman she had wanted for so long.
When she finally got all the buttons undone, Laudna slid the nightgown off Imogen's shoulders until it bunched up on the woman's hips. Laudna rose just slightly to see the work of art that was the woman under her. Imogen was flushed all over, her lilac hair spread across the pillow like a halo, her lips swollen and mouth slightly open, her perfect breasts topped by dark, erect nipples, begging for her attention.
"You have no idea how much I want you, darling"
"Show me then" Imogen whispered, dazzled by the image of the woman above her, with the curtain of black hair falling over her and that dark gaze that had her bound like nothing ever had.
A cold hand covered her breast in a reverent caress, Imogen fought against her instinct to close her eyes and just feel, she wanted to see Laudna's face and engrave it in her memory as a dark blush covered Laudna's pale cheeks. Laudna swallowed hard and wet her lips with her tongue, and Imogen felt thirsty.
"I'm yours, baby"
"Mine"
Those sinful lips were on her breast in a matter of seconds making Imogen's body arch against Laudna with need. She moaned against heated skin and Imogen felt closer to the edge. Her hands resumed the task of undressing Laudna, tugging insistently at the offending garment until Laudna rose just so she could slide it over her head and toss it across the room.
When Laudna lay back on top of her she did so by moving her hips against her, making them both moan at the sensation.
"Gods, yes"
"You feel so good, Imogen," Laudna's words were barely a reverent whisper before she reclaimed her lips.
The hands of both women didn't seem to be able to stay in one place, caressing every inch they had access to but without separating their bodies. Imogen's short fingernails left angry trails down Laudna's back as her hips had found an erratic rhythm, seeking to feel more of her.
Laudna's hands cupped the woman's erratic hips, pinning her to her mattress despite her protests, thrusting deep once as her tongue wet the lobe of Imogen's ear. The girl's moan was loud and Laudna was sure that even the neighbors were already aware of their nightly activities, but she was far from caring.
"Do you like this, love?
"..."
"Do you like me doing this to you?"
Another thrust.
"Gods, yes, Laud... please, keep doing..."
"Doing what?"
"Fuck me like this, pl-please… I can't… any longer"
Imogen's arms wrapped around Laudna's neck, pulling her as close as possible. Laudna began to rock against her, each thrust eliciting a moan that made her go harder, faster. Both were very close, so much holding on to their feelings, so much time containing their desire, they had filled their bodies to the brim with want and with each movement the dam was closer to breaking.
"Harder, baby... Please." One of Imogen's hands clutched at Laudna's strands of hair as if her life depended on keeping Laudna where she was, and that was probably exactly what it was.
Laudna's hands had anchored to Imogen's hips as she moved against her at an almost frantic pace, she had buried her face against the woman's neck when she could no longer contain her own moans.
The small and rickety bed began to creak under them. Laudna tried to slip a hand between them but Imogen stopped her.
"No, baby. Like this, just…, fuck me"
Laudna lost what little control she had left. Imogen locked her heels behind Laudna's legs pulling her even closer to her.
"Fuck... I'm so close… I" A breathy moan, marked by Laudna's movements, interrupted her. Laudna sought her lips and drank in each moan as she quickened her pace.
When they couldn't hold the pleasure anymore, in unison, as if they had spent a lifetime sharing intimacy, they both let go. The orgasm enveloped them in a blanket of liquid fire and they both let it consume them to their bones.
When they came down from those heights, exhausted but happy, Laudna rolled to one side, taking Imogen with her, as if her arms could not conceive being away from the woman. Imogen snuggled against her, a satisfied smile on her face, her arms locked tight around Laudna's waist.
"I love you," she said against the skin of Laudna's neck.
"I love you so much, Imogen" was the woman's response, pressing her closer.
Sleep overtook them and they slept peacefully through the night. Both knowing that there would be nothing they could meet in the future that could keep them apart.
