Chapter Twenty-Three

Elizabeth had carefully removed her clothes and had stood for countless minutes in front of the mirror, wondering if what she was planning was wise.

In all honesty, she knew Jason could never hurt her, especially not the way that Lucky had, but the idea of being intimate with Jason scared her more than she wanted to admit.

When you had only had one sexual partner and that partner had treated you badly, it was hard to get past all that emotion garbage. Because that was exactly how she saw it, it was garbage. She had been a fool to allow him to do the things he did, but she had longed for the boy who had saved her, wanted nothing more than to return his kindness.

Call her naïve, silly, stupid, gullible and fanciful, whatever it was, she had only wanted to do the right thing, but it seemed, she was doomed from the start, everyone it seemed wanted to tear her down.

Within those few moments, Elizabeth bounced back and forth between an all-encumbering desire and fearfulness that threatened to take control. Finally she cast aside the fear, perhaps it wouldn't stay gone, but if Jason wanted her, then it was something she was going to try and get by. For something deep inside spoke to her, claiming that salvation was hers for the taking, she just had to grow a spine and take it.

So she left her clothes in Jason's hamper and climbed nude upon the bed, and while she was disgusted with the marks that marred her skin, she knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Jason found her beautiful and desirable.

Pep talks were had in spades, but finally all the thinking became moot. Jason's form appeared in the door, the look changed from annoyed displeasure to a longing she had never seen, not on another living soul. It was almost as if he was ready to jump out of his skin, it honestly looked like he was ready to shed his earthly skin just so their souls could merge and become on being.

She couldn't help the smile that magically appeared, the unabashed desire, longing and love that radiated off of him, stole her breath and left her feeling anything but fearful.

"Jason…" Elizabeth breathed, unsure whether he heard her or not. But that single word said more than any full conversation could have. That single word broke his paralysis and had him moving forward, almost stalking but his movements did not inflict fear, just the opposite.

"Elizabeth." Jason answered, his throat had gone tight and every nerve seemed ready to explode. She was beyond beautiful, she was urethral, golden hues graced her skin, alighting her from within. The soft lamp light dancing gracefully across the plains and rises of her body, casting shadows here and there, offering a delectable sight, but also teasing at what lay in those dark recesses.

Elizabeth dared not move, her entire body called for his, but she knew they had to take things slow. She wanted Jason to awaken her desires anew, she wanted to touch and be touched, rushing was not something she was willing to do, she wanted to experience all of it, now she just had to get her hormones in check.

Jason slowly settled upon the bed, still a little unsure how he should proceed, but wanting nothing more than to show her what real love was about ,about how a woman's body was meant to be treated, he planned on worshipping her body all night, however, in order to do that, he needed to get his own desire's in check, she was a goddess and he wanted nothing more than to reinforce every loving emotion.

Taking his time, he moved to sit next to her, he didn't want his body touching hers just yet, in time that would come, right now all he wanted to do was explore her body with his fingers.

He began with her face, his finger's trailing gently, never probing, he didn't need to make her flash back to all the hurt. So with nimble fingers he used touch to memorize her lines and features, not like they weren't already imbedded in his mind, but this intimate touching offered so much more.

She leaned into his touch, trying to draw out each and every sensation for as long as possible. His fingers slipped slowly from her face to the hollow of her throat and from there traversed to her shoulders and down her arms. Always gauging her reactions, he refused to be another pushy person in her life, demanding gratification from her.

His hands ever so slowly began to move lower, his fingers grazed her small, pert breasts and the sharp intake of breath was all the encouragement he needed. He let his fingers slowly dance over her ever-hardening nipples, delighting in the pleasure she took from such a small action. He tweaked the hardness between his fingers, occasionally looking towards her face, ready to stop if he needed to. Nevertheless, the breathy moan that escaped her lips only encouraged him more.

His fingers slipped from her shapely breasts, down her stomach to the thatch of dark curls. Again he watched her reactions, but not seeing any discomfort, he slowly allowed his fingers to dip into her heated depths, delighting in the wetness that was growing, her desire was also reaching new heights, for as he fingers moved over her heated flesh, she began to move more beneath him. But her movements were not fearful or hesitant, they were filled with a heretofore unknown passion.

Jason knew she wasn't a virgin, but it truly felt like she was, if for no other reason that the simple fact that she had never been made love to, her only sexual experience had been brutal and because of or in spite of, he wanted to spend the entire night showing her that there were pleasures to be had.

Elizabeth left hand found his and tightly grasped it, at first Jason wasn't sure if he should still his other hands actions or continue, but as he slowed his movements, he heard her breathy sigh of frustration and knew to continue. As his hand moved between her satiny folds, her hand tightened in his.

Jason paused momentarily to look at her and couldn't help the smile that bloomed upon his face. Her hair was spread out upon his pillow, her dark tresses moved softly as she moved her head left to right, caught up in the amazing feeling that Jason was exacting from her. Her bottom lip was help captive between her teeth, but she wasn't biting it per se, it was more worrying it and just when he thought he could take no more, Elizabeth body began to spasm with her first orgasm, ever and her delectable pink tongue darted out to soothe the abused skin.

Jason was unable to hold back the lustful groan that emerged from between his lips, his eyes drinking in the sight of her withering beneath his skillful hands. The tightness of his jeans suddenly felt beyond constricting, almost as if he had a redwood tree stuffed into them, at this point, he felt as hard as steel and as large as a tree trunk.

With an effort, he carefully pulled his eyes from her beautiful face, if he had watched her a moment longer, he would have lost all control and right now, pleasuring Elizabeth was far more important than his own desperately wanted outlet of pleasure.

Jason bent down, moving his face closer to hers, his lips a breath away, but he shied away from taking her lips in his, at least for the time being. He began at her hairline, placing a featherlike kiss there, then moving on towards her temple. He placed a gentle kiss to her eyes before finally taking her lips hostage with his own.

The kiss began soft and hesitant but soon Elizabeth's own passion was directing the kiss, her fingers began moving through his hair, with an almost desperate nature she tried to further deepen the kiss, but Jason pulled back before he lost all control.

Elizabeth's grasping hands tried to pull him back in, but he swiftly moved his lips down her silken throat, delighting in the pure scent that was distinctly Elizabeth. Vanilla with a hint of peach. His lips trailed flame inducing heat over her shoulder and collarbone up to her earlobe, then ever so slowly his lips descended lower, brushing lightly across her hard sensitive nipples.

She arched into his skillful lips only to moan in frustration when his lips lost contact with her heated skin. Nevertheless, he quickly returned his attention to her breasts, he just wanted to control things for as long as possible, he needed her to feel safe and know that he would never hurt her, so taking his time and drawing out her desire was something he was willing to do, even if it killed him in the long run.

His mouth finally descended all the way, taking one pert rose kissed nipple into his mouth, laving it with his tongue, then he changed tactics and gently nibbled at the hard flesh, delighting in the taste and feel of her in his mouth and surrounding his senses.

His one hand played gently with her other nipple as he took painstakingly long on the first one, causing the already firm skin to tighten even more, satisfied with his work, he moved on to the neglected nipple and began to repeat the process. All the while Elizabeth's hands roamed through his hair and over his shoulders, demanding more but delighting in his ministrations.

Wanting to taste Elizabeth completely, Jason moved lower, his breath heating her already sensitive flesh. He placed a soft kiss to her dark curls, then slowly directed Elizabeth's legs apart. With her legs positioned, Jason moved between her legs, already delighting in the way her body moved and as of yet, he hadn't touched his lips to her silken folds, but not wishing to tease any longer, him or her, his lips descended and he dined upon her, expertly pulling from her an orgasm that made her whole body rock with the power. He had barely touched her and as she slowly came down from that high, he moved more fully between her legs and set to work, showing her the pleasure that could be exacted from her.

Her body, unused to the pleasure responded so fully that within minutes she was experiencing another orgasm, and it seemed each one became more powerful and more mind-blowing that the next. Jason slowly pulled himself from her ambrosia-like center and continued his journey down, placing featherlike kisses to her thighs and calves and then further down to her feet.

As he slowly worked his way back up her body, with every intention of stopping once again at the apex of her, Elizabeth abruptly sat up, her hands grasping at his and with shocking strength, pulled him up her lithe form. She didn't stop though once he was directly in front of her, as soon as she had him where she wanted him, she was quickly making short work of the constraining clothes, his shirt all but disappeared in a matter of seconds and her flame-inducing fingers worked the button on his jeans, no less urgently than before and quickly she was shoving the material down his sculpted legs, only this time, she didn't wait for his boxer brief's to go down last, her hot little hands shoved both garments down his legs, quickly divesting him of all articles that stood in her way.

Once he was free from all constraints, Elizabeth pulled him back up her body and positioned him between her legs, wanting nothing more than to feel his weight upon her body, the weight of a man who truly cared about her, who wanted nothing more than to see her happy.

Jason was trying to take things slow, but Elizabeth seemed to have other ideas, one hand grasped his enlarged member, drawing him closer to her apex. Jason tried to pull back gently, but as he was trying to move back, Elizabeth's tight hold pulled him forward and she thrust her hips at just the right moment, joining their bodies so completely, one could not tell where one began and the other ended.

A hiss of pain burst from Elizabeth, but Jason's quick hands quickly turned the hiss of pain into one of mewling pleasure. His finger stroked her blood engorged clit, causing rippling sensations to flow from her head all the way down to her toes.

Jason was buried so completely in her searing heat, that he feared any movement might end this love-making way to soon. So with gentle but firm hands he gripped her hips, to still any and all movements. He wanted nothing more than to feel the friction that their two bodies would make, but he wanted to prolong the incomprehensible pleasure at the very least a little longer.

Elizabeth tried to move, but his hands held her firmly. Pleading eyes searched his, wondering briefly if he had suddenly changed his mind. If he suddenly felt that being with her was disgusting and repulsive, but all those thoughts fled as she looked deep into his eyes and saw the underlying truth. His body was so ready to plunder her, the all-encompassing desire washed over him in waves, but she could see the precarious hold he had on his passion, in that moment, Elizabeth knew, there was never going to be anyone else.

Elizabeth knew, beyond all thought and all reason, that Jason would forever and always be her souls mate, but on top of that, she knew she would never find happiness with anyone else, because no one would ever fit so well with her, physically, emotionally nor sexually, they were the missing pieces to each other.

Jason, although unmoving, filled her so completely, and miraculously healed so many old wounds. She was not daft to think that one session of love making could cure all her ailments or rectify all the wrongs that had gone before Jason, but he was healing her soul and her heart and giving her hope for the future.

Jason saw a new light form in Elizabeth's eyes and knew he could still himself no longer. With slow gentle strokes, he began to move. His body almost as if electrified, tingled and shook from the sheer earth-shattering pleasure he found while imbedded deep within her.

Elizabeth knew Jason was taking things slow, his movements not quite hesitant, but careful. So instead of waiting for passion or logic to dictate where their love making was going to go, Elizabeth began to increase her tempo, demanding a quicker pace from Jason, which he was only too happy to oblige.

Their bodies moved in time with each other, they moved like a well rehearsed ballet number. Muscles flexing and clenching, then relaxing. Each movement drawing the pleasure out, Elizabeth's breath was coming out in short gasps and moans, her hands finally found purchase along his back and butt, allowing her to sharpen his movements, applying more pressure to her aching clit. With each stroke his body pressed into her heated clit, eliciting a breathy purr.

Almost as if they had done this a million times, Jason's arms pulled her legs upwards, hooking them over his shoulders, allowing him deeper penetration and free movement over her sensitive bud. In tandem their bodies began to sing and suddenly both collapsed, their orgasm budding at the same time, pulling each other into a state of bliss and mental lethargy. Elizabeth's lips found his, pulling him into a deep and passionate kiss, drinking his very essence from the toe curling kiss and before she could even realize what was happening, she was experiencing another orgasm, the pressure of their combined bodies and the soul-searing kiss had set her off again.

Finally, her body so sensitized she could handle no more, she slowly pushed Jason's weight from her panting form. Every nerve sizzling with power of each orgasm. Her eyes were glassy and unfocused, but as she looked towards Jason, she couldn't help the small gasp that escaped her lips as she realized that Jason was still very hard and very capable of starting the next phase.

Jason merely smiled at her and allowed her a few moment to regain some semblance of control. He would make love to her all night, all day, every day, till the end of time, but even he realized, breaks were needed. Besides, a good snack and drink would only allow them to continue their escapades into the wee hours of morning. So Jason slowly sat up, kissed her briefly on the lips and vaulted over her, heading towards the door.

"I'll be right back, we need refreshments and a snack." Jason said, moving quickly out the door.

Elizabeth couldn't help the content smile that played upon her lips, because never before had she ever felt something so ground shattering. Besides, if the rest of the night proved to be anything like this first beautiful and amazing session, then she welcomed it with open arms. "Don't be gone too long, my desire has not been sated, only temporarily quenched."
