Chapter 8:

"What?" Cronus asked, slightly flabbergasted.

"I don't want it out. All my life I've been 'poor Lucy' and someone to be protected. Well, with this, I'm not that person anymore." Standing she walked to the door of the kitchen.

"They only do that 'cause they love you." He followed Lucy to the door.

"Maybe I don't want to be loved gently. Maybe from my boyfriends I want 'up-against-the wall' passion."

"Up-against-the-wall passion, huh?" Cronus thought, stroking his chin. "I can do that."

"What?" She asked, turning to Cronus and catching the look of determination on his face right before he crushed his mouth against hers. He heard her muffled cry against his mouth but didn't let up. This is what you wanted, right? He kept his eyes open and watched as hers fluttered shut as she folded to the rhythm and gave back, kiss for kiss. Her arms came up and circled him, pulling him in closer as he pressed her up against the door frame.

When his mouth left hers and wandered down her throat she gasped at the feeling of his teeth scraping her delicate skin and it had her moaning. She wanted to touch him, more than anything.

He was losing himself in her. No, he was already lost. Her smell, so fragile yet so intoxicating. Her skin, so smooth and yet like fire against his own. Everywhere he touched her he could feel her delicate shivers and as much as he convinced himself he was only doing it to scare her there was a small niggling in the back of his mind that told him that more than anything, he had wanted this too.

Lucy slipped her hand under the bottom of his shirt, brushing her fingers lightly against the sculpted muscles she'd yearned to touch for so long. Cronus hissed in a breath as her fingers wandered up his stomach and pulled his shirt up over his head. He accommodated her, lifting his arms and keeping eye contact with her as it came off. His mouth came bruising back to hers as he reached to her own shirt and pulled it up, only parting for a breath as it came off over her head.

She couldn't get enough of him, his rough skin against her smooth had her groaning. The way he gasped as she dug in her fingers to his back and pulled him in closer had her pulling harder. He was perfect in every way, he was strong yet gentle, passionate but he seemed to be holding something back and it excited her. She wanted all of him. Pulling back from his mouth she pressed light kisses down his neck to his chest, stopping to lick the pert nipple. A growl mixed with a moan rumbled through his chest and she could feel it through her tongue as she lavished the nipple with attention, then moved onto the other.

There was nothing shy or weak about this girl. She owned him and Cronus couldn't have cared less, he was in heaven. Wrapping his hand in her hair he yanked her roughly back up to his mouth. Falling, they hit the floor roughly, fighting to free themselves, and each other, of the civilized barrier of clothing. Lucy arched her back as Cronus filled his hands with her full breasts and admired them, running rough thumbs over the taunt nubs of her nipples. Leaning down he did what he had been fantasizing about for so long, he filled his mouth with them. Arching further Lucy pushed herself further into the wet warmth of his mouth.

Moving back up her body he brought his mouth back to hers, running his hands roughly along her willow slim body, but not taking the time to memorize the luscious curves. He knew she wasn't new to sex, so he reached down to her entrance, she was wet, so wet, and perfect. Guiding his straining member to her entrance he pressed in slowly, slowly, then entered the rest of the way with one sharp thrust. Lights exploded behind Lucy's eyes as time, everything stopped. They stared into each others eyes, panting. Cronus pulled out to her entrance again and she clenched, not wanting to let go just yet, but he came thrusting back, a groan escaped her lips as his hips snapped forcefully again and again. Without even noticing it Lucy's hips were rising to meet his thrusts as she desperately panted his name.

"Cronus..."

The heat built and built as the pace picked up. Her nails dug in and scraped down his back as he drove deeper and deeper, more and more forcefully. She could feel it coming, her climax. Their panting became frantic as Cronus pounded into her a few more beats before it came shuddering through them. Lucy's muscles tensed then went slack as her orgasm stormed through her then subsided and Cronus collapsed, also shuddering, next to her.

Staring at the ceiling as they waited for their breathing and heart beats to slow, Lucy rolled over and curled herself into the crook of Cronus' shoulder. He felt her breath spread over his chest and his heart tightened and how right this felt. Closing his eyes he soaked in the rightness of this moment, wishing it would never end.

"Hey, Luce?" Cronus breathed. "I think - I think I love you."
