A/N: So this is basically just smut, their first time together. Trying to make this both steamy and hot, while still having that awkward "first time" feel. Hope I managed to have that balance right? Next chapter will be up soon, I need to make sure I'm building things up for their adventure in the right way.
Chapter 12: RuebenRueben took a few seconds to take in the beauty in front of him; her hair was spread out in a golden halo over the white pillow, her crystal blue eyes shining brightly in the flickering candle light, her mouth slightly parted. His eyes traveled further down to her heaving chest, his focus suddenly on her perky breasts with pebbled nipples. When they'd been standing, he hadn't fully taken in her features. Now he felt his own body respond to the goddess laying next to him. Gulping, he tried to wrap his head around the fact that this gorgeous, amazing woman was his.
Biting her lower lip, she asked with a tremor, "You okay?"
Focusing back on her eyes, he managed to nod in reply while his free hand shifted through her hair, his eyes following his hand as he gently cupped her face. "I'm more than okay." He leaned down and captured her lips in a slow kiss; he wanted to enjoy every second of this. Once he pulled back again he said, "I want to make this right, so let me know if there's anything you don't like." He looked at her in hopes that she would understand.
"I will. I know we're both somewhat new to this," Hope said with a small smile, her hands sliding up his arms. "But this is what I want. It doesn't have to be perfect, I just want you."
He felt his heart flutter with so many emotions; he could hardly keep track of them all. One thing was certain - he loved this woman, and he knew she loved him, too. He wanted her.
He nodded and let his hand travel down her slender neck, mapping out the contours of her shoulders with his fingers. Flattening out his hand, he caressed down the valley between her breasts, smirking when her breath hitched in her throat. Glancing up at her, he could see the fire intensify in her eyes, and when her own hands began exploring his body, he felt the heat building between them. Something crackled in the air around them; he looked up and saw a slight bluish shimmer.
"Yeah, my magic is going a bit crazy," Hope chuckled. "But a good kinda crazy. This feels so right. So perfect." When her hand reached his face, he turned to place a lingering kiss on her palm, letting her know it didn't scare him the slightest.
"Hmm." His lips hummed against her hand, while his own hand moved down over her stomach. Tentatively, he let his fingers graze the swell of her breasts. Her fingers moved to the nape of his neck, shifting through his long hair, pulling him closer. Once their lips met in a slow sensual kiss, he let his hand explore further. His fingers circled her dark areolas, the puckered skin hot under his fingers. Finally, he thumbed her pebbled nipples, pulling out a long moan from her lips - a moan he soon captured by deepening the kiss. Her reaction to his ministrations spurred him on, giving him courage to gently squeeze her soft mounds in his hand.
Hope pressed her chest closer to him, letting him know she liked what he was doing. Her tongue was frantically searching for his as she clung to his body.
When he shifted on the bed, the movement made him realize his arousal was straining against the fabric of his boxer briefs. Pulling back from the kiss, he took a deep, fortifying breath as he took her in, her lips swollen from their kisses, her cheeks rose coloured. She moved closer to his body, and her eyes widened when her hip brushed against the bulge between his legs.
"Touch me," she breathed and took his hand, guiding it down over her stomach. Rueben knew where she wanted him and let his fingers follow the edge of her skimpy panties. Finally he let his fingers move under the lacy fabric and found her soft curls. Catching her dilated eyes, his fingers dived deeper into her heat, he found her already wet with arousal. Smirking a little by his findings, he leaned over and kissed her gently while he let his fingers explore deeper. She gasped against his mouth when he found the bundle of nerves, giving it some special attention.
Hope shifted beside him, rubbing her hip against his arousal. When he looked down at her, he could see the knowing smirk on her lips.
"What?" she asked, blinking innocently a few times.
"Stop teasing, or this will be over way too fast," Rueben mumbled and moved his hip back a little so the pressure on his cock would not cause him to lose it too soon. He'd only had a few girlfriends in his highschool years, but never had they reached the point of going all the way. Lots of fooling around and heavy petting but this was so much more. He knew this was true love.
"Sorry," Hope whispered. The mischievous glint in her eyes told him she wasn't sorry at all. She let her fingers explore over his torso, dipping through the contours of his muscled chest, finding a few sensitive spots along the way. When her fingers caressed over the edge of his boxer briefs, he inhaled sharply. She chuckled at his obvious distress, and one of her hands reached up and pulled him down for a kiss. "I love you."
He let her take the lead in how deep the kiss went, and focused on moving his fingers through her wetness, making her gasp in his mouth. Soon he found the spots that gave her the most pleasure.
Pulling away with a groan, she sighed, "God, I need…"
"What?"
"I want more." She said in a rush, her face heating up as if she were suddenly aware of her words.
"Me too," he whispered. "But let me make sure you're completely ready."
When she raised her eyebrow curiously, he grinned, and in one swift motion he peeled off her lacy panties. She gasped in surprise, but when his mouth descended on her chest and his hot tongue laved at her soft skin, she stilled. Glancing up at her, he could see satisfaction blooming in her eyes, and he felt his own heart flutter. Then, moving his mouth slowly to her peaks, he gently tugged at her nipples, making them even harder. The strangled gasp coming from her spurred him on in his explorations, and he moved to tend to the other breast.
"Oh God, Rue...I—" Her voice faltered when he continued to take turns in licking over her sensitive breasts. He hummed in reply before he finally moved further down her body. Her fingers grasped the sheets when he moved around in the bed to place himself between her legs. Looking up at her, he could see she'd pinched her eyes close.
"Look at me," he demanded in a low rumble; he didn't even recognize his own voice. It was strangled and filled with coiled up passion.
Taking a deep, shuddering breath, her blue eyes finally found his, then he whispered against her hip bone, "Remember to breathe, okay?" He grinned when she merely nodded in reply. Satisfied she would do as he asked, he moved his lips over her heated skin; he could smell her arousal, and it pulled him closer to her core. Using his fingers, he opened her up to him, her flesh swollen and glistening with her essence. He wanted this to be perfect; his less than perfect prior experiences in this had been a long time ago. Finally, he lapped at her center, making her moan in built up passion. He used his tongue to lick from bottom to top, making sure to give the perfect amount of attention to her clit. From her restless movements and searching hands, he knew he had to be doing something right.
When her hands found his long hair, she wrapped his locks around her fingers, pulling him closer to her core. He gave her what she silently asked for and spend the next few minutes feasting on her sex, her essense coating his face; he couldn't get enough of her sweetness.
Hope screamed in ecstasy when the orgasm washed over her. Taking deep breaths as her body slowly came down from her high. "Fuck, fuck, oh Rue… that was…" Her hooded eyes focused on him as he rested between her legs.
Rueben felt a grin spread across his face as he finally rose up over her and whispered, "That was just the beginning." He consciously wiped his mouth with his hand, his face still slick with her arousal, before he kissed her deeply. She didn't seem to mind that she most likely could taste herself on his lips and inside his mouth. Her whole body clung to him, molded itself against his hard frame. her hips again brushing against his now painful arousal. It had taken him every last ounce of willpower to not just take her then and there.
Hope pulled away with a sly grin spreading over her lips. Her hips purposely nudged his hardness. "Turnabout is only fair." Before he could fully understand what she meant, she had him rolled over on his back.
"Fuck, you don't have to—"
She shushed him with a deep kiss before her lips went on an exploratory journey over his torso.
"I want to, Rue. I really do." Hope whispered against his sternum, then her eyes looked up at him. "Just tell me what to do." Her eyes closed for a short moment. "I've never done this before."
"I will." He gently tugged her frazzled hair behind her ear; he knew she'd never been in a serious relationship, and all of this was so much more new to her than it might be for him.
With a final determined nod she slid herself lower and moved her mouth over his heated skin, before she reached his hip bone. Her fingers traced over the V leading down to his cock; she was obviously fascinated by his physique as she kept her fingers moving over each deep divot and rise of his six-pack.
"Hope," Rueben breathed out, trying to keep it cool. This was going far too slow. When she looked up at him, he whispered, "Please touch me." The small smile forming over her lips told him she clearly knew what he meant. She tucked his boxer briefs down his legs, he helped her get rid of the last piece of clothing between them.
Finally, she turned her focus to his hardened length, her hand tentatively wrapping around him. A small hiss escaped his lips. "Fuck." When she made a move to ease her grip on him, he reached down and wrapped his own hand over hers. "No, keep touching me just like this, but firmer." His hand showed her what he liked, and soon, she found her own rhythm, so he let her explore him on her own. She was doing a marvelous job of having him lose his mind, her fingers moving over his cock in sweet, tantalising strokes, bringing him closer to his release.
"Hope please," he whispered. The vision of her so wrapped up in pleasuring him was far too much for his mind to fully understand.
Hope made a twisting motion with her hand making him groan again, and when he looked down at her, she smirked. Then she managed to surprise him even more, her pink tongue swiped over his swollen head, making him hiss in pleasure. She lapped at the pre-cum forming at the tip, and tasted him. When her eyes shyly found his, it was obvious she liked what she was doing.
She proceeded to wrap her mouth around him, letting her tongue move over the veins wrapping around his cock. "Fuck," Rueben groaned and squezed his eyes shut, trying to think of anything else than her sweet toture right now. He didn't want it to end already.
When she started to pump his cock while sucking even more on his sensitive skin, he gently placed his hand on her cheek, making her pause.
"Hope, come here."
"But I—" She looked a little crestfallen, and a small, sweet pout followed.
"Another time, alright?" Rueben asked hopefully. "I want you, to have all of you."
With a blush coloring her face, she finally let go of him and moved over his body, her eyes shining with a newfound sexual power.
"You have me, Rue," she whispered and straddled his body, kissing him. Her wet core was rubbing over his stomach, letting him know she was ready for him.
Rueben wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer.
His hand moved down to her side, and reached between them, sliding between her legs. She was definitely ready.
She hummed against his lips, and when she pulled away, he looked up at her in awe. This woman was his one true love.
Gently moving her hips further down so his straining cock pushed against her wetness, he whispered, "Ride me."
When she looked at him, puzzled, he added, "I want you on top so you can control the pace."
Recognition showed on her face, and she nodded in understanding.
Suddenly, he remembered something, "Fuck, I hadn't planned for this to happen. I don't have any protection with me." He looked up at her with worry; they hadn't exactly planned for this to happen tonight.
"No worries. I'm covered, I trust you, and since I've never done this before, I'm clean," Hope explained and moved over his arousal, his cock nudging her opening.
"Fuck," Rueben felt his cock blaze in the heated sensations wrapping around him righ now. "You sure?"
"Yup." She grinned. "I love you, Rueben."
Hope sunk further down his cock; the slickness of her sex made it a bit difficult to hit the right spot. She grumbled in frustration, and Rueben reached down to grab himself in hand, angling his cock so she could slide over him. Her eyes focused in concentration, her warmth enveloped his length as she moved down on him. He felt her wince in slight pain when they reached her maidenhead.
"Take a deep breath," Rueben soothed, his hands caressing her thighs. She nodded, and in one quick motion, she let herself be filled with his cock. Both gave out a low moan at the intensity they both felt right now. Rueben's hands clenched around her soft skin, holding back and letting her set the pace. It was nearly impossible as he felt her walls clench over him. "Hope, please," he begged.
Finally, she moved, slowly at first, getting used to his girth inside of her. The tiny moans and gasps coming from her each time the movement made them change angles, told him she was adjusting to this. Picking up the pace, she slid her hands over his chest, her nails scraping over his skin.
"Rueben," she gasped; she almost sounded pleading, like she was asking for something.
Rueben let one hand move to the apex of her thighs, found her swollen bundle of nerves and put pressure there, making her gasp in pleasure. Her eyes found his, and he could see that she was chasing her own release. "Let go for me, Hope," he whispered.
She nodded and increased the pace, throwing back her head. Her fingers felt warm against his skin, and he realized her magic was swirling all around them, the magic hovering in waves. It all seemed to follow the rhythm of their joint efforts at reaching the peak together.
"Rueben," Hope moaned in ecstasy as her walls fluttered around him, making him lose the last control he had over his own release. She kept her pace as she chased her orgasm while bringing him with her over the edge. A small shriek fell from her lips before she slumped down over him.
He lifted his hips and used his hands on her hips to chase the last rolling pleasure of his own release.
They stayed locked together for several long moments, both out of breath. Their hearts were beating in sync, her breath tickling over his bare chest. He had his arms wrapped around her, wanting to keep her close.
His fingers trailed over her back, following her spine, and she shivered in response. Reaching for the covers, he lifted the quilt over them and wrapped them up, shielding them from the cold.
"You okay?" he asked after some time, their breaths finally returning to normal.
"Mmhmm." Hope glanced up at him, letting her head rest on her hand on his chest; the smile on her lips was proof of how happy she was right now.
"Thank you," he whispered and placed his hand on her cheek, his thumb caressing her soft skin. Her eyes were shining with some new found passion. The air around them still slightly shimmered with her magic, and he chuckled. "Guess your magic is in agreement."
"Of what?"
"That this..." he motioned between them, "Is true love."
"Yeah, I guess it is." She leaned into the touch of his hand and smiled. "I know I love you, and honestly, if this is true love then I'm happy, and if not, I'm still happy. You know why?" When he shook his head, she continued. "Because I know I love you. I don't need my magic to know what's in my heart."
"Thank you." Rueben gulped, her words sinking into his heart. "I love you, and yes, I agree that is all that really matters."
She leaned closer to him and found his lips, her hands wrapped up in his long hair, bringing him closer to her warm lips. Rueben gladly gave her whatever she craved right now; his heart was soaring high on the waves of what had happened tonight. He hadn't thought she'd been ready to move forward and take this next step with him. But now he knew it was the perfect moment, and from now on, he would love nothing more than to be able to do this with her as often as possible.
"Hmm." She pulled back and looked into his eyes, "This had been the best birthday ever."
"Yeah?"
She nodded and smirked. "Though, to be honest, this was not part of my initial plan; it just sort of happened and grew inside of me as the day progressed. I wanted to take this new step with you; it just felt right."
"I'm not complaining." He chuckled when she playfully smacked his chest and rolled her eyes. He looked around then mused, "Though it surprised me you picked your father's ship as our rendezvous spot. Won't they know we used the cabin here?"
Hope rolled her eyes, "You're forgetting something, my love." She wiggled her fingers. "I can do magic. I can make sure this place is spotless. They won't know a thing is out of order."
"Ah, that is handy." Then he wondered out loud, "But just out of curiosity, how do you know you're able to do the magic needed for that? I mean, you've just learned today that your magic has changed. You haven't really used this new power."
"That is hard to explain." She shrugged, "When you kissed me after giving me this," she touched the butterfly pendant still resting on her chest, "it was as if something clicked into place. Everything seems to fit perfectly together inside of me." She shrugged and added, "I did flick on the lights in here; it's no big deal.
"I'm happy for you," Rueben said reassuringly and hugged her closer, letting her know he in no way was scared about her using magic.
"So, are we driving home tonight? Or sleeping here?" Hope asked and looked around the cabin.
"I'm not sure I can move right now." Rueben suggested, "Let's just sleep here. I'm sure your friends will know you're safe with me."
"Yeah, and I guess we need to be creative whenever we want a moment like this again." Hope sighed. "We won't have much privacy in either of the places we live." She pursed her lips in thought, looking a little crestfallen.
"Well, use your magic," Rueben suggested. "I'm sure you'll find some silencing spell you can put on your room."
"Bloody hell. Yeah, that is perfect." Hope looked excitedly at him, then tilted her head and smirked. "So when will next time be?"
Rueben laughed and said, "Well that will happen soon enough, I imagine."
"Good," Hope stated.
"And we could also go away on a trip on the weekends. For some more alone time," Rueben suggested with a waggle of his eyebrows.
"Yeah." Hope looked happy about this idea, then her eyes lit up. "And we should plan that road trip to visit your Grandmother Willow."
"I agree." Rueben thought for a while then added, "I know it's some time from now, but we'll have several days of free time once we hit Christmas and New Year. Unless your family is doing a lot of family stuff that week." He shrugged. "Or it will have to wait until Spring Break?"
"Yeah, I honestly don't know about Christmas, but let's sort that out later." She yawned and rested her head on his chest. "I'm sleepy."
"Let's do that. Sleep well, my love." Rueben said gently, already looking forward to planning a long road trip with Hope.
"Mmhmm," was the only response from Hope.
Soon, her breath evened out, and he realized she was sleeping. It took him a few more moments before he found his own sleep, and when he did, he dreamt of their future together.
