Chapter 6 - Here and Now
"Çava ma cherie," Delphine whispered to sooth Cosima. Delphine had watched this procedure but never performed it. She did not have the medical tools she needed. So she improvised. She willed her hands not to shake as she administered the shot.
"Finished" she said with relief. She could tell Cosima felt vulnerable. And she wanted to comfort and caress her just like last time. Delphine adjusted the blankets so that Cosima was covered and comfortable. "Ma petite," she said removing her medical gloves said rushing to her kneel beside the bed.
"C'mere," Cosima smiled up to her vulnerably and it broke Delphine's restraint. She kissed Cosima urgently. Cosima raised her hands and buried them in her hair. Her breath quickened. Suddenly Delphine remembered where they were. And she felt sheepish for being so selfish and wanting to take Cosima here and now.
"Delphine," Cosima said when she noticed Delphine's hesitation. " I need you," Her voice cracked. Delphine's resolve was short lived when Cosima peppered her neck and collar bone with feather light kisses.
"Mon dieu, que je t'adore" Delphine sighed surrendering to Cosima's hands.
Cosima ran her fingers down the left side of Delphine's jaw.
And lifted her nose to trace the rim of Delphine's right ear.
"I love you" she whispered.
Delphine raised her face and cupped Cosima's.
"I don't deserve you," she confessed. And then she lowered her lips to nip Cosima's longingly.
The kiss wasn't hurried or demanding at first. It was a slow exploration of their connection and love for one another. Delphine felt a flush start in her chest and spread to her entire body.
She stood and sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Cosima up into her arms. While they were kissing she looped her arms around Cosima's lower back and tugged on the hem of her blouse. She stopped to look Cosima in the eyes . She nodded and Delphine gently removed the cannula. Then she nudged Cosima to raise her hands above her head and Delphine swiftly removed her top.
Delphine studied Cosima's form and whispered, "Que tu est belle."
"So are you," Cosima responded with a lopsided grin. Then she pulled Delphine by the shoulders until their lips met again. This time Cosima set the pace. Nipping and licking Delphine's lips with the hunger that comes from being separated.
Delphine allowed Cosima's pink tongue to dart inside her lips. Delphine responded with the love and desire that Cosima's touches asked for.
Delphine was French. She knew how to kiss well. However, when Cosima kissed her she lost track of time. Her consciousness was focused on the taste and feel of Cosima alone. Nothing else existed outside their bubble.
"Delphine" Cosima said urgently tugging on her top.
"Mais oui," Delphine blushed with affection. Cosima removed her top and began tugging on the hem of her pants.
Then she stood and undressed slowly in front of Cosima. She took her time removing her bra and panties while Cosima watched adoringly. She wanted to savor this moment. Cosima raised the covers and Delphine slid across her slight hips and straddled them.
Cosima's breath hitched. Delphine removed Cosima's bra and studied again the face of her love. She wasn't sure she would see Cosima again. And the thought of making love to her was dizzying. Cosima raised her hips in a slow and graceful roll bringing Delphine out of her day dream. Delphine fingered one of Cosima's dreads and lowered her entire body on top of the petit clone.
The feel of Cosima's breasts pressed close to hers was intoxicating. The gentle roll of her hips was hypnotic. The wet, warm kisses were spell binding. Delphine's blond curls fell like a curtain around their faces. Her fingertips were everywhere. They traced the graceful curve of a shoulder, then a collar bone, then a jaw line and then an ear.
The graceful rolls quickened as their urgency grew. Delphine raised herself on her elbows and looked Cosima in the eye while slipping a thigh between her legs. Cosima nodded wordlessly and raised her mouth to Delphine's for more kissing. Cosima's hands snaked around Delphine's neck and her hips urged Delphine to quicken the pace even more. Delphine obeyed.
"Look at me" she whispered when Cosima arched her neck and closed her eyes.
Cosima opened her eyes and her pupils were beginning to dilate. "Let go, ma cherie. I've got you." Delphine murmured.
Cosima allowed her body to surrender to the building waves Delphine created. She was lost in Delphine's brown eyes. She was filled with love and awe at the beautiful woman who loved her. This time it was Cosima who cried.
"Shhh..." Delphine crooned while cradling Cosima. "I've got you. I've got you."
