ch.3
Thank you to all who have reviewed for me. i know that the chapters have been small, but in still trying to figure out all the bits and pieces of this site. I hope you will all read and review more!!
Ava stared up at me. I held her gaze, and we stared at each other for an immeasurable amount of time. Once more i noted that small scar beneath her eyebrow, the straight plane of her nose, the perfect bow of her lips.
"Well then", she finally said. A sudden tremor ran through her body, and she reached down to rub some color back into her toes. It was fully night now, and the temperature had dropped considerably. I reached down with her, not letting our bodies break contact, and gathered her feet into my hands. As we sat back up, she sinuously molded herself into my embrace once more. Her touch almost made me groan with contentment. I was fully a foot taller than her, and she fit easily into my arms.
As I burrowed my nose into her long silky hair, the strands tickling my nostrils, I couldn't help but remember the last time I had held a girl like this. My jaw involuntarily tightened as I thought about Bella, but my musings were set on the back burner a moment later when Ava tilted her chin up and kissed my jaw.
The feeling of her cool lips against my smoldering skin was almost too much to bear, so i did the only logical thing and turned my hear to ensnare her mouth with mine. Her lips were baby soft, and gently prying all at once. I had only the vague realization that we were falling backwards onto the sand, my arms involuntarily tightening around her waist and keeping our faces level. Ava wrapped one arm around my neck and the other snaked under my arm so she could stroke my back.
She was everywhere. Ava and I kissed and it was like returning home after a long and arduous voyage and finding a safe zone. We moved and molded into each other and I never wanted to leave this place again. It amazed me that two complete strangers could be so utterly right for each other, like two matching strands of DNA. She fitted me perfectly, and I wondered what would have ever become of me if we had never met.
I detached myself from her mouth and lazily drifted my lips down her throat and allowed my teeth to graze her collar bone. she shuddered and sighed under my touch, her hands griping the back of my arm and my head, one leg hitched around my thigh. Ava retaliated by tilting my face to hers again, but only gave my mouth the slightest brush. Slowly, with infinite care ,she inched downward until her face was level with my neck. Her mouth danced over my skin, her teeth hard, and her eyelashes flickering against the underside of my jaw. The combination of rough and gentle textures almost drove me over the edge.
I felt the shiver of heat down my spine, the flow of fire into my head, but this time it was not a change-inducing warmth; rather, it was a softer heat, not one that challenged me to hold myself together. This one seemed to make me want to close up completely, surround the tiny human in my arms and stay that way forever. I wanted to sink into her skin, to breathe the same breaths, to give and receive the same emotions.
Ava eased back up, moving until we fit together like a living, breathing yin and yang symbol. "Jacob? Can it always be like this? Will this last? If not, you need to tell me right now, before we get in too deep." Beneath the husky undertones of her voice, I head the hint of uncertainty, the creeping wave of doubt. I pulled back enough to watch the lightning display of emotions across her beautiful face.
I sealed her lips with a sound kiss, whispering into her mouth. "Sweetheart, I'm not going anywhere." I taster her grin against my mouth. "Good, because I wont let you." Even though I was superiorly muscled and strong from endless running, her words hit home. I realized that she was serious, that she meant to follow through and keep me.
She slowly softened, melting into my chest, her flaming hair caressing my skin. "Goodnight, love", she murmured before scooting closer to the fire, me following. I forgot all possible anger and hurt and joined her in a deep and dreamless sleep.
