Chapter 79

Reno reached a hand out to Aura as she sat up, wrapping an arm around herself with her back to him. When his hand touched her shoulder she turned her head to look at him and he shifted closer. "What happened?" he asked, trying to catch his breath. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing…" she replied, "Just… kinda hurt."

Reno's heart dropped into his stomach. "I'm sorry… fuck…" he moved closer again, his hand going to her cheek, "I'm sorry…" His hand slid to her shoulder as she turned around to face him better. "Sorry…"

Aura shook her head, "It's okay…"

"No…"

"Yes…" Aura smiled at him and Reno watched as she crawled toward him, just about lifting herself into his lap. His hands went to her lower back as she wrapped an arm around his shoulders to bring them closer together and Reno held her gaze when her other hand came to his cheek.

"Are you okay?" he asked softly.

"I'm fine."

"I didn't mean to… I didn't realise…" Reno rubbed his hand across her back. If he had known he was hurting her he would have stopped. There was no way he would have continued doing it.

"I know." Aura's hand slid up his chest until Reno laid one of his own hands over it.

"I swear…"

"I know, Reno." She leaned into him, "It was just that one angle…"

"You…" Reno shook his head, feeling slightly sick. Aura met his gaze again, lifting herself closer on her knees and pressed a soft kiss to the tip of his nose.

"Everything is okay…" she told him, her hand sliding over his shoulder.

Reno tried to read her expression. She seemed sincere and he wanted to believe her. If she really was hurt, surely she would let him know. When she smiled at him again, he decided that he did believe her, and he smiled back. When she slid closer, properly in his lap now, he trailed a finger delicately up her spine, enjoying the light shiver he felt move through her. "What can I do?" he whispered in her ear, surprised when Aura reached down between them and began gently caressing him.

"You…" she brought her lips to his jaw, murmuring her response quietly, "can finish what you started…" A shudder rippled through Reno, and he knew that he was hard under Aura's touch, and more than ready.

"You sure?"

Aura nodded, resting her forehead against his, and Reno snaked an arm around her waist, taking her weight as she met his eyes again. Reno held her gaze, enjoying the closeness and being able to feel her breath on his skin. "Yes…" she murmured and he smiled again when one of Aura's hands came up to his face and her fingers gently traced the tattoo across his left cheekbone. He felt her shift slightly, opening to him, and Reno used his hold on her with his arm around her waist to keep her in place as he carefully pushed up into her. Never taking his eyes from her face, Reno watched Aura's reaction. He saw her eyes close for a moment as she bit her lip, but her forehead remained pressed against his and, after she drew a soft breath, her fingertips traced his tattoo again and she opened her eyes to meet his once more.

"Am I hurting you?"

"No, Reno…" Aura's voice was breathy and she slid her free hand around to the back of his neck.

"Okay…" He felt her lift her hips and he let his hands move down to her arse, using that hold on her to help guide her movements. Aura's fingers traced his tattoo again and she released a shaky breath, her eyes still on Reno who held her gaze while she began to move on him.

Feeling his heartrate immediately increase, Reno gave her an encouraging squeeze, letting her know that she was in control now, and he enjoyed the soft groan he received in response when Aura moved again, bringing herself forward until she could take her weight into her knees either side of him. He liked that she kept her eyes on his face as, with better leverage now, she continued to move on him in complete control of the pace, force, and depth with which she rode him. Reno watched her bite her lower lip, a small whimper escaping her, as she clenched a handful of his hair in her fist. "Aur…?"

"Mmm?" She moved more quickly now, one hand still in his hair while the other shifted from his cheek to his shoulder.

"Where do you want me?" he asked, biting back a groan, "Do what you want…"

Aura's green eyes met his for the briefest of moments before both of her hands were on his shoulders and she pushed him back down on the bedspread. Reno looked up at her in surprise, watching her appreciatively, when she braced herself with her hands on his chest as she began rocking her hips experimentally. Unable to help the soft groan that escaped him at that, Reno's hands slid carefully up Aura's sides.

"That good?" she asked, her voice low.

"Shiva, yes…" Reno couldn't look away from her, his hands steady on her waist as she continued rocking her hips, "Oh… fuck…" A smirk worked its way onto Aura's face before she dragged her nails lightly down his chest, and he groaned again, his hands tightening on her waist. "Ah… fuck me…"

Aura gave a soft laugh, her hands smoothing over the scratches she'd just made on his skin and her dark hair falling forward over one shoulder. Reno watched her, wondering if he wasn't dreaming this whole scenario up. His eyes moved from her flushed face, following the blush down her throat past her hair which was obscuring half of her chest now, to his hands still at her waist. He watched her hips shift and tilt as she continued to move on him and, when she increased her pace, he heard her breathing change as she panted, trying to keep her breath.

Reno drew a deep breath of his own, trying to keep himself steady as his pulse raced. Unable to help himself, he tightened his hold on Aura's hips as he lifted his own, pushing up into her, grinning when he earned a loud cry from her as she leaned forward, bracing herself against his chest again. He slid a hand further up, clutching at one of her breasts and grinning again when her green eyes met his. Biting her lower lip again, Aura held his gaze and Reno traced his free hand up and down her side as she moved more quickly. Noticing her try to push herself higher, Reno lifted both of his hands to offer her. "Here…" his voice came out barely above a whisper as he tried to keep breathing evenly. Aura put her hands in his, linking their fingers together, and Reno braced his arms to help support her as she leaned into him. Using his hands, Aura was able to keep her balance as well as increase the power behind her movements and Reno groaned in appreciation, watching as her eyes closed and her hair fell into her face.

With Aura holding on to both of his hands, Reno was unable to use them to touch her. Wanting to reach up and push that hair back from her face so that he could look at her, he could only watch as she moved on him, her eyes still closed and her lips slightly parted, clearly entirely focused on what she was doing. Reno struggled to keep his own focus, to not lose himself in everything Aura was doing to him. He also struggled to stay as he was and not pull her around and down beneath himself, but he wanted to let her maintain control, to have this moment for herself, exactly as she wanted it. Tightening his hold on her hands to encourage her, he watched as Aura flipped her hair back over her shoulder and away from her face, sitting straighter as her eyes opened to meet his once more.

"Uhh…come on…" he groaned, "You got it…"

"This good…?" Aura's voice was soft and barely sounded like her, but Reno nodded, not wanting her to stop what she was doing. He squeezed her hands again, unable to help lifting his hips to meet hers, again winning another cry from Aura as he did so and, wanting her hear her again, he continued to do it, meeting every movement she made.

By the time Aura released one of Reno's hands, leaning forward to brace herself against his chest again, Reno could see the flush from her cheeks had spread down her throat to her own chest and, when he brought his hand up to her cheek, he could feel the heat in her. She was murmuring something he couldn't make out and, as he traced his thumb across her damp skin, Reno pulled his other hand free from hers and moved it down and around to her lower back, pulling her to himself in order to add strength to each of her movements. He watched as Aura sat straighter, and tilted her head back, a soft cry escaping her as her hips continued their rhythm. Unable to reach her face with his free hand now, Reno trailed his fingertips down her stomach before he shifted the hand around to join his other at her lower back.

He could hear her groaning his name now, and Reno nearly lost it. Even a year ago he never would have dreamed that he would ever hear Aura say his name like that let alone while he was able to move his hands over her, touching her anywhere he wished, as she rode him. He kind of wished that he was able to tell his younger self that he would end up here with Aura, so that he would have known back then that everything they went through would be worth it. "Ah!" She suddenly gasped and Reno's eyes flicked straight to her face as she leaned forward on him, "Reno… I…" he felt her fingernails on his chest as Aura continued to move, now panting each breath and, knowing exactly how he could make her come undone, Reno smiled.

Sliding his hands down to Aura's arse once again, Reno pressed her down as he thrust his hips up into her again. He was able to use his hold on her to keep her there, grinding her onto himself and enjoying the high pitched breathy cry that Aura made as her hands slid up his chest and she dipped her head. When Aura dragged her nails down his chest again, a string of profanities spilled from Reno's lips and he squeezed her arse in appreciation. A moment later he felt her rhythm change as she began to move more quickly, tightening around him and panting his name, "Ah… Reno… Please…"

"Yeah, sweetheart…" Reno fought to keep his eyes open, watching for Aura's reactions when he continued to grind her down on himself.

She groaned loudly, and he felt a shudder pass though her. "… feel…"

"I know." He breathed, unable to stop his back arching slightly. Aura pushed down on him then and Reno moaned.

"You like that?"

"Uh… Yeah, yo." He'd barely gotten the words out when Aura pushed herself up again, her hands on his chest. Her mako green eyes met his and Reno was sure he saw fire in them as she began to ride him harder and faster than before. He didn't even try to keep quiet this time, loving that she was being just as vocal as he was as her eyes closed and she tossed her hair over her shoulder again. Reno couldn't keep his hands from moving over her, one tracing up her rips and the other coming to rest at her hip as she rocked more and more quickly. "Ah… fuck…"

Reno lost all focus or intention as Aura moved on him. He had various images of her atop him, hair everywhere, skin flushed, before he was unable to keep his eyes open any longer and he let them close, his head tilting back and his back arching as he let a new stream of profanities slip out. Barely a moment later he heard Aura shriek his name as her movements became just about violent and when he felt her tighten around him even further he couldn't hold back a loud cry and then he was gone.
