Song Listened To: Spectrum (ft. Matthew Koma)[Extended Mix] by Zedd

*Chapter 157*

With a hard roll of shivers, Tessa's skin crawled. She raised her eyebrows in hard surprise and let her glossed look of confused wonder drape over Zed's strong, yet vulnerable, figure. She softly let her fingers curl on the skin of his strong chest, he looked as if he was well on his way to being wholly terrorized by this act, as if he was almost scared to continue, strictly because of the outcome, whether it be deadly or divine; both souls knew there was no in between. Tessa nervously shifted her positioning, which left Zed with a drag of his taut skin. He grimaced, and with a firm yank, he kept Tessa cozy in his lap. He long blinked, in a delirious stupor, as she barely gaped; the gap in her teeth peeked past her moist lips. He cocked an eyebrow and curiously peered up at her, as if he was lightly warning her that if she didn't get the show on the road soon, he'd pick up the pieces for her. He dropped his lovingly aggressive act and squeezed her skin in a draw of undying comfort.

"Relax," Zed urged quietly, his eyes subtly glossed the front of her body, which was draped in her dark grey quarter length sleeved shirt. He dared to slip his hands up her shirt to her bare waist. He only lightly winced as the drag of his wounded hands sent small peaks of pain up his arms. He held her taut to his body, though his reflexes began to beg to barely lift her off of him, so to spark repetition in her writhing movements; he forced his rushing thoughts to be patient, "W-We have to keep everything even in this tug of war."

"Y-You'll tell me if you're about to-"

"Yes," Zed chuckled as he squinted his eyes shut and then bulged them wide open, as if to insinuate said notion was hard to miss, "You'll know, believe me. You say stop whenever you need, I can control myself."

"I normally would goad you into a challenge just now, but," Tessa trailed off, cocked an eyebrow, and gave Zed a look of mild annoyance, "Sort of weird playing it safe, in this situation."

"Considering what last night entailed," Zed uttered, though he gave her a kind smolder of a smile as he slowly drew his strength down harder on her hips. He cocked an eyebrow and slanted his eyes, "Though, I don't recall this position happening."

"I-I don't really know how we got here," Tessa meeped bashfully as she barely scrunched her shoulders and pushed down on Zed's bare chest.

"I do," Zed argued through a gentle laugh, one of which lightly jostled Tessa's straddled position atop him, "Pretty sure you saw something you liked. And pounced."

"Yeah, you DID put up a huge fight," Tessa volleyed sarcastically, Zed heaved a hard sigh and let his whole spine and arms go limp.

"Well it's sort of hard to get away from you," Zed muttered through a teasingly annoyed side-eye, though he lightened up once Tessa nudged his shoulder with a continued, bashful smile.

"I'd say it's impossible, now," Tessa began to laugh, though Zed lulled his eyes closed and let her overflow him with sass, "Y'not only proposed to me, but dedicated yourself to a lifetime of responsibility with me now, a-la-loading bar."

"Paused," Zed muttered through a cheeky smile, though he scoffed a laugh as Tessa swat at him.

"To-be-unpaused," Tessa corrected, she pushed down on his chest, once more and gave him a mean, playful side-eye as she continued on under her breath, "I'll pause somethin'."

"I know we may have an eternity, here, but you're sitting on a ticking time bomb," Zed's deep voice playfully urged, though he softly gripped Tessa's hips a little tighter and began to just barely lift her up. He felt his heart jump as Tessa's mouth formed yet another gentle gape of surprise. He grimaced through the coded turmoil and smirked, "I really don't know how long my fuse is."

"I could tell yah just how long it is," Tessa uttered through a hard grimace, though her eyes fluttered as he softly brought her back down to his lap, as if to hopefully ease her into the action.

Zed huffed a bashful chuckle and, with eyes that lulled closed in a knowing way, he shook his head, as if to politely disagree. His fingers itched to slide lower, down her body, though he kept his polite gaze up into her eyes in a curious way, as if to watch her every move. With a sharp inhale for air, and tendons that held prominent on his bruised throat, he raised his eyebrows in dewy surprise as he felt Tessa's body finally, and barely, lift off of his. As if to bashfully inquire if this process was acceptable, Tessa sat back in his lap, ultimately forcing a surprised groan from Zed's tired figure. As if he had to realign his whole entire being back to the grid, he felt his head grow heavy. Like his neck had suddenly turned into jelly, he found it hard to hold up his melting, giddy composure. He eased another knowing, pleased chuckle from his figure and was thrilled to find that said notion was only egging her on further.

Zed's masculine hands squeezed her hips, her hot skin beveled with his tense actions. He sucked in a sharp intake of air through grit teeth as she continued with her slow and patient movements, like stirring the tension too soon, too suddenly, would ultimately skip steps to this fragile deconstruction of a card house. He tilted his head a little, as if to give himself a little bit of allowance to relaxing. He knew he didn't want to miss a single second of this show. Through squinted eyes, he gave her a grateful smile, and though he wanted to be aggressive and help her move a little bit quicker, with more force, he begged himself to relax; he knew not to disrupt such a delicate process. Zed eased the very beginnings of a whisper of a groan from the back of his dry throat, though just as he was about to finally relax his spine and sink into the chaos of it all, the circuitry along Tessa's body upped in voltage, ultimately throwing Zed's solid concentration off.

Through the solid breath he thought was just that, he finally felt a full ripple of pleasure coat his entire existence as she found rhythm in her movements. He barked a soft groan and let his head finally lull back to the couch behind him. Through the haze, he peered up to the ceiling and, with muscles and veins tensed with their delicious, forbidden silver coding, his strong hands firmly gripped Tessa down harder into his lap. He gasped for a breath, as if she was now the one on the mission to ending his life. The way her larger fingers dripped down his bare chest, sending confused lines of his mainframe to chase after it's enemy. Tessa scoffed a gentle noise of agreement and, as lovingly as she could, she leaned her body deeper into his and warmly smooched his cheek a few times. Her soft, alluring hair draped down his left shoulder and arm, and though he looked defeated, he grimaced through the bite of his bottom lip and firmly took hold of her hips.

With a seductive giggle, and moist lips that trailed down Zed's bruised throat, he let a noise of disbelief leave his figure as her large hands tucked into his sides, to further steady the both of them. Zed grit his teeth and, as if to attempt to catch his breath and gain clarity, he shut his eyes, inhaled a whine of silent pleasure and dared to slip his hands into the back of Tessa's black jeans, which were now in a bit of a disarray on her hips. His powerful hands squeezed the sides of her rear, and with gentle aid, he helped her pick up the pace of her actions. The way her warm body eagerly drew him in, deeper and deeper, a tight push and pull he was nearly positive he'd never be able to fully get enough of. His eyes lazily re-opened as the looming thought of deletion suddenly plagued him; he cursed his thoughts, the very idea of staying aroused amidst something so terrifying. He suddenly felt the weight of the contradiction, the very dilemma the two were dug in.

His heart suddenly bounced with a refresh of excitement as the raspy utter of his very name fell from her lips. The way she arched her back, the dip of her hips that moved with such grace, and knowledge beyond either of them, Zed beamed with the fact that she was likely tapped into his every worry and thought. He finally tilted his head back towards her and eagerly peered into her loving, honey-glossed gaze. She gave him a small smile, a seductive cock of an eyebrow as the two steadily pushed closer to their destiny. He squinted lightly and peered harder into her soul. He wondered just how this all would go down. How, through these past few minutes, no words have really been exchanged. He began to feel worry creepy back into his system, with how wholly lost and unprepared the both of them were. He began to thank his lucky stars for the long night filled with worry-free sex they had the night prior, though he also began to understand that one night wouldn't even begin to scratch the surface on such a raw act.

Zed groaned a soft chuckle of knowing, he lulled his head and gave Tessa a cheeky look through slanted eyes. He relished in the unknown, the fact that they had previously agreed to keep each other informed, though for all Zed knew, they were totally flying blind. His fingers dug into her skin a little harder as he helped her move, the vigor of their growing actions had Zed nearly biting a hole through his bottom lip. He grimaced alongside an eager, silent quake of an inquiry that reverberated from the back of Tessa's throat; he was aware if he didn't switch gears, they'd be done for. He squinted up to her, as if to beg her to change his mind for him, to somehow ask if she could kindly demand him not to make any important decisions for himself, though he knew he'd have to face the music and control the quickly escalating situation. To avoid crossing the finish line first, he stuffed his desires for now and, with a gentle buckle of his spread knees, he was able to adjust Tessa in such a way that cued to her that the tables will be turning, for the greater good.

As smoothly as quick motions would allow, he lightly swung Tessa to the side and laid her spine into the soft, cushiony arm of the couch to his right. He dug into her spread legs and kept their connection firm, their silver coding made certain of it as well. He flinched in surprise as her whole body went rigid with pleasure, the backed pressure with his movements had her squirming. He scoffed a small chuckle, and was somehow pleased to see her writhing in near delightful pain. He gripped the dip of her hips, something he took diligent note in, and like the night prior, he hovered over her kindly, his brilliant eyes dug into her soul as her shaking hands snaked down his chest, to his upper arms. He eagerly dug harder into her, ultimately making the couch creak under the excitement. He choked a silent noise of disbelief as she lulled her head lazily to the side and echoed a noise of pure pleasure, as if the impending deed of terror had left her mind entirely. She tightly gripped her strong legs around his hips and, to his growing fear, he noticed she wasn't about to let him go. The rush of everything put on his shoulders had him moving faster, as if their coding was just begging for it at this point; deletion or not.

Zed's chest sunk and rose with power, a gasp of air from the dread he knew he was now so wholly consumed in, he was lost. He raised his eyebrows in baited surprise and was floored to find, that somehow, she grew that special twinkle in her eyes. He long blinked a few times, and through their fast, rhythmic movement, he felt something inside his gut spark; inner coding that so desperately wanted to come out, something he had never felt so strongly before. He gasped a small noise, an inquiry to wonder if she was at her breaking point. He desperately scanned her for answers, though with everything he had learned from the night prior, he suddenly felt his heart throb with excited fear that, here and now, was the moment they had been waiting for.

He choked an inquiry, as if to wonder if he should follow through or not, though she eagerly nodded and, with her larger fingers digging nails into his skin, he felt his skeleton turn to goo at the mere thought of just what was going to take place; he hoped it'd be pure harmony, a perfect mixture that they would somehow flawlessly float through. She gasped a startled noise as their coding seemingly prepared for the throw around, the whole mixture of two beings into one, once and for all. Tessa nervously squinted and could feel every single last number of her coding float through her head. With the way Zed's body continued to shove into her, the writhe in each movement, the growing level of shake they acquired, Tessa could tell he was extremely close to losing it, and in the seconds she was confident she was about to as well, she suddenly felt her coding wash her ears numb of the sound of a rapid, loud heartbeat; one she was certain wasn't hers or Zed's.

In a mild stupor, she lost total concentration and kept her scared grip to Zed's arms. She largely furrowed her eyebrows, ceased all noise, and held her breath in a solid draw of shock; she could swear her pupils had shrunk to mere specks. The sound of their baby's heartbeat suddenly rang proud and true through her ears, though with the way Zed continued to carry on with his detrimental mission, she was very quickly aware that she was the only one receiving said earful of an ultrasound. She gasped a hard noise of confusion as Zed suddenly uttered the result of their demise; his plea to end it all, his cue to blow it. She suddenly felt terror plague her system as she was immediately aware that, not only were they not on the same page anymore, they minus well be in different galaxies. Tessa barked a startled noise, shoved up on Zed's chest and loudly urged him to stop. With the shock that rang through the both of them, Tessa felt her insides heat up to an unforgivable degree of searing coding she was uncertain could be reversed.
