3.
~ In the darkness of night, Ariadne tried to turn off her brain. Eames was obviously still awake and they lay next to each other in mutual, uncomfortable, silence.
"Do you really want to stay here at Blue Rivers?" he asked her.
Ariadne took a deep breath and could smell the fact he had recently bathed himself. His warm body smelling of soap and a natural maleness that made her own body spark like fire wood.
"I said I did." she told him.
She could feel him move closer to her. His leg touching hers under the covers. His foot making contact with hers.
She felt that annoying blush heat up her face.
"If we got married, I would stay out of the war." he said suddenly. "You, Olivia and I could leave with Cobb and Mal to America. Get married on the ship like them."
"Eames." she whispered.
"I know, it's a stupid dream." he laughed.
"I thought you said we weren't good together." she reminded him as she longed for his hands to find her body.
Since becoming a widow, she missed the touch of a man. With Jeffery, she found she needed his reckless desires like she needed a drug. Her body going through a withdrawal when she was deprived of their heated time together. Her spirit feeling guilty and dirty every time she gave into him.
With Arthur, she enjoyed his affections like a wonderful, nourishing meal. A meal where they took their time and enjoyed every appetizer, every entree and every desert.
With Arthur, she was always well fed.
Now with Eames here, she suddenly realized she was starving.
"Sometimes, I think you're the only woman for me. That you could save me from myself." he said sadly. "But then, I know, I would be bad for you."
She wanted to say something, but bit her lip.
"If you married me, I promise I won't go to war. I'm the last son in a noble family, I would be excused from battle. You would be protected and well provided for. The same arrangement with Arthur; you would be lady of this house again." he promised.
"Eames, you want to go to war." she accused.
"I want to be with you." he whispered and she sensed him rolling on his side to look at her. "It's all I've ever wanted."
"Eames." she breathed as she felt his hands on her belly and a hot, wild rush took flight in her body.
"Marry me." he whispered as she felt his kiss find her lips in the darkness. Her friend rolling over till he was resting comfortable on top of her.
"Eames, we- we can't." she panted as she felt him slip off her night dress. He breasts once more exposed to the chill of the night air.
She didn't fight him as the feel of his flesh on her bare breasts was too wonderful to resist.
"We won't go too far, I promise." he whispered as his lips started to suck at her breasts again.
Her skin ignited to the ticklish feel of his light facial hair on the delicate flesh of her breasts. The warm wetness of his mouth on her nipples as he kissed and sucked on her.
His body and hips maneuvering between her legs, pushing them apart as he ground his hips into her.
"Don't worry," he growled as he looked up from his feed. "I promise I won't do it unless you want me to."
She gasped at the sudden feel on a rock like hardness pressing between her legs. It's threatening advancement halted by the bed sheets and the thin layers of clothing that they both wore.
"I just..." he panted as he ground into her body again without penetrating. "I just want a taste."
She gasped as her body rocked with his steady movements. His erection stimulating her and causing a wetness to grow as they moved together.
She let out a loud moan of pleasure as she enjoyed the friction of his body rubbing against hers.
"You know we would be good together." he whispered as she couldn't understand what he was saying. Her body going off like fireworks as his hardness rubbed and tortured her tender wetness.
'Oh God.' she thought. 'Take me, do it now!' she wanted to scream and instead let out a groan as he swiveled his hips and made her body seize with a sudden orgasm.
She gasped as the feel of his warm wet breath on her neck, lips and ears.
'Oh no!' she thought. 'Oh no, this feels too good! He has to stop!'
"Eames." she panted and held closer to his rock like body.
"I want you. Please." he said huskily as he rolled away from her; his hands going into his pajama pants; pulling out his ridged maleness for her to see.
"Ariadne, I want to be with you." he said as he openly worked himself into a frenzy.
"Eames." she breathed as she tied not to look at the length and width of his enraged member.
"Lay back down." he growled.
Trustingly, she allowed him to lay her on her back as he place a blanket between them. Her legs cradling his hips again as he ground and rubbed himself on her. Their friction making her gasp in delight at the pleasure he gave her without the risk.
"Eames!" she gasped.
"We can just play, Ariadne. This is how we can have out fun, without having to pay the price for it 9 months from now." he whispered with a grin.
He pulled away from her then, his hands back on his large manhood as she watched him pump and handle himself.
Instinctively, her own hands went to him and he allowed her explorations of his body. Her small hands not large enough satisfy him as she tried to touch him.
Eames didn't seem upset by this, however. He was soon laying beside her as she felt his large fingers dip into her wet, neglected womanhood.
"It's alright." he was panting as she gave into the delicious feel of his fingers penetrating her. Stimulating her body as though they were really lovers now. "There won't be a baby from this."
~ She feel asleep almost immediately after their frenzy, and she had no memory of anything else. She didn't dream and her body felt worn out and in need of more sleep when the sounds of the scullery maid in her room made her open her eyes.
It was the first of October, and as tradition at Blue Rivers, the scullery maid lit a fire in the bedrooms, whether there was a chill in the air or not.
Like a frightened rabbit, Ariadne huddled in the bed next to Eames' sleeping body.
The maid could plainly see she wasn't alone. Her bed mate's large body was laid out half covered for anyone to come in and see him.
His broad chest was exposed to the air and his big feet stuck out of their shared bed.
She watched with one, frighted eye as the maid finished lighting the fire, peeped over at the sleeping couple and quietly left. Closing the door behind her.
"Eames?" Ariadne hissed at him and shook his heavy body.
Her friend snorted and rolled away slightly.
"Eames, wake up!" she snapped and gave his chest a hard slap.
The coolness of the air seeping under their covers reminded her that she was totally naked, and the feel of his perfect body next to her, said he wasn't clothed either.
"Time is it?" he groaned and he rolled over for one more snooze.
"Early. Eames, get out." she spat as she slapped him on the chest again.
"Keep it up, darling." Eames said lazily. "You'll get a spanking of your own soon."
"Eames, the maid was in here. She saw us together." she said worryingly.
"So?" Eames said and tried to get more comfortable in their bed.
"Eames, Arthur hasn't even been dead 4 months now and the staff thinks I've jumped into bed with the new Lord of Blue Rivers." Ariadne said and fought back the urge to cry.
"I'll explain to them I jumped into bed with you." Eames said as he finally resigned himself to being woken up.
He rolled on his back and looked as her.
Ariadne clutching the bedding close to her body and fought a wave of self loathing.
"You were beautiful last night." he said and his fingers reached out to touch her bare arm.
She cringed away from him.
"Eames, it's almost dawn, we have to meet Aunt Percy for breakfast." she said and used her legs to try and kick him out of the bed.
Eames only laughed as her slight body wasn't capable of moving such a large man.
"Alright, if you want me to leave." he laughed.
"I want you to leave." she insisted. "You shouldn't have stayed last night." she said feeling flustered. "You shouldn't have come to me at all."
"I wanted to be with you. I think you wanted it to. It's not a sin to want a man again. You're not made of stone." he told her.
"Eames." she said feeling hot under his gaze.
"If you're worried about a baby, don't be. I won't compromise you till will we're married. I know what I'm doing." he assured her.
"I'm sure you do. With all your experience." she bit back harshly. "I'm not marrying you. I'll leave for America today before it comes to that."
"Ariadne." Eames said sadly and tried to reach for her again.
"Get out!" she almost shouted.
I didn't want to say anything till it was official, but I got a great new job! Still in healthcare, but it's in the pharmacy. Better hours and better moeny. I hope I can do really well there. It's the job I was holding out for. I'm very happy!
