Chapter Eleven
"What?" Adrian asked as I carried her up the stairs to her apartment, I chuckled again before answering her.
"Just thinking my girls pretty badass" I joke and she laughs briefly before sighing.
"Riddoc I'm so sorry" she says and I frown at her stopping at the door "I don't know what happened I swear I locked the front door I... I don't know, I never meant to put Willow in danger. I'm so sorry"
"Hey you saved her, you've nothing to be sorry for. And with everything that's been happening with your Dad it's completely understandable that locking the door slipped your mind" I tell her but she just nods slightly. I angle her so she can unlock the door and she lets us in to the apartment.
"You won't leave me will you?" she asks burying her face in my chest
"Of course not" I tell her. I carry her into the bedroom and she gets ready for bed this time not bothering with her regular pyjamas instead she strips down to little baby blue lace panties and reaches up to unfasten her matching bra, she has her back to me then reaches out to the chair and picks up the t-shirt I'd left here last night slipping it over her head before turning to look at me. She smiles shyly.
"This is mine now" she says and cocks an eyebrow in my direction I grin and nod my agreement.
"Fine by me" I tell her and she smiles.
Adrian walks over to where I'm stood and takes both of my hands, I hear her breathing quiver and her heart speed up she pulls me towards the bed and makes me sit on the edge at the foot. She straddles my lap then leans into my chest so I wrap my arms around her, I'm still shirtless from when I phased at my house earlier tonight. After a few moments of holding Adrian like this I realise she's starting to kiss my bare chest very lightly, she makes a trail of sweet kisses up to my neck where she gently bites my ear lobe. She kisses her way across my jaw pausing to place a kiss on my Adam's apple before continuing to the other lobe. She pulls my lips to hers roughly and kisses me hard, she pulls away and winces, touching her lip gingerly.
"Shit I'm sorry" I gasp
"It's not your fault" she says shaking head then kisses me again this time I pull back.
"No I don't want to hurt you" I say and she smiles
"Then you won't" and her lips brush mine again we kiss for a few more minuets before I sense she's in pain again.
"This is hurting you, I refuse to be what causes you pain. When this is healed" I say brushing the pad of my thumb just under her bottom lip "I will kiss you to within an inch of your life I promise" I tell her and she giggles, god I love that sound. "You're so beautiful and so brave, you haven't even cried. Adrian thank you"
"For what?" she asks
"Protecting Willow when I wasn't there to" I say simply.
"You know I reckon you are probably the best big brother ever, she really looks up to you and she loves you so much. I wish I had big brother" she says. "I have my friend Leo I guess I've always thought of him in sort of brotherly way but I suppose it's nothing compared to the real thing"
"You spoke to him when your Dad called, is he in the army too?" I ask
"Yeah Lieutenant under my Dad, he saved my Dad's life this one time and became practically family after that" she tells me with a shrug and I nod.
"Can I ask you something?" I ask
"Anything"
"Well it's really two things" I say and she smiles
"Alright"
"Adrian" I say and take a deep breath "I really really care about you and I like you lot, I love spending time with you and when I have to spend a day apart from you... it sounds kind of lame but I miss you like crazy. I just want you to know that I'm serious about you about me and you becoming you know an 'us'. So I would be really happy if you'd consider being my girlfriend. I know it's a big step but I'm ready when you are, I just wanted to say that" I say and let a relieved sigh that I actually managed to get it all out. She stares at me for a second then swats me in the arm.
"You ass hole" she breathes
"What I?..."
"Do you realise what the first half of that speech sounded like? It sounded like you were breaking up with me" she says
"What?"
"Oh 'I like you and I care about you but can we just be friends!'" she says impersonating me "That's where it sounded like you were going"
"No I... no I don't wanna break up with you" I say
"I know that now, Shit! Riddoc, I like you and I really care about you, and I like spending time with you and I miss you when we don't too," she says and I can't stop the thrilled grin that claims my face. I was so unbelievable happy if I was phased my tail would be wagging like mad. "Ok so what was the second question?" she asks
"This one's more of my Dad asking but that doesn't mean I don't want you to say yes, unless you say no then it was all him" I joke
"Ok what is it?" she laughs
"Would you like to have dinner at my house with my family one night this week?" I ask
"Wow, meeting the rents? Erm... sure" she smiles
"Really because if it's too fast or you'd be uncomfortable then you don't have to" I say
"Riddoc you know me well enough to know I don't do things that I don't want to" she says and I nod she could be stubborn as hell but if anything I just found her annoying tendencies endearing I really was just a fool in love. "I want to meet your parents and I would love to be introduced as your girlfriend when I do"
I pulled her closer and stood up with her in my arms before turning and laying her down on her back and positioning myself over her. I start kissing her neck and her jaw, she mews and and moans beneath me, "you might be in too much pain to kiss me but I can still kiss you" I breathe against her collar bone then continue my path of kisses. Adrian grabs my hands and moves them under her t-shirt, well my t-shirt and I push it up to her ribs. I move lower and start to place kisses across her toned smooth stomach I stop over her belly button and flick her naval ring with my finger and she giggles "I love this" I tell her and place a kiss over it.
"Really why?" she asks
"Don't know it's just sexy" I tell her and there's that little giggle again.
"I had it done when I was thirteen, an act of rebellion against my uncle Marlin you should have seen him when I got my first tattoo, I thought he'd had an aneurysm" she laughs
"Which one was your first?" I ask her
"My compass. I wanted it somewhere I could show it off and rub in his face you know, it's stupid now but I was young" she says then squeals as I move to her ribs
"Oh ticklish here are we?" I joke and she laughs.
I move across to other side where her skin is scrolled with ink, this is the first time I've properly seen this tattoo. It's an elegant font which reads 'Do not wait for the last judgement, for it comes everyday' I read it aloud and she looked at me and smiled, I looked back at the quote and I knew how much the words must have meant to her for her to have them forever written on her skin, so I kissed them all over. It was true after all when we judged ourselves everyday what did the last judgement matter when there where's no hope to better yourself afterwards, wasn't that the point of judgement? "Do you want to know my favourite one?" I ask
"You have one?" she asks and I nod, I trail kisses all the way down her stomach and over her hip. I sit back on my heels and lift her leg up so I can continue down her leg till I reach the paw print on the top of her foot, I place a kiss over the top of it then grin at her "This one" I say and she bites her lip, She winces and quickly releases it.
I kiss my way up the other leg and over her stomach again I want to worship every inch of her I don't want to leave a single morsel of skin un-kissed. I take the ends of the t-shirt and she smiles nodding her permission for me to remove it so I do, her bare breasts are so beautiful and I have to wet my lips, I cover her body with mine and kiss and nip at her breast I graze my lips over her nipple it tightens and she moans, I take a breath to steady myself and take it in my mouth sucking and licking her into a writhing, gasping frenzy beneath me, worsening her frustration when I move and give its twin the same amount of love and attention.
"Riddoc" she gasps and I feel my pants tighten merely at the sound, I decide to take a chance as nervous as this girl makes me and decide to do something that's maybe just a little bold. Gently kissing down to the pit of her stomach I tuck one finger under the waistband of her panties and glance up at her, she stills but her breathings still labored.
"Adrian?" I ask, shocking myself at how deep and gravely my voice has gotten.
"Please?" she practically begs and I don't leave her waiting, I have to reign myself in from just tearing the panties off of her and instead slip them down her legs. I'm not surprised to discover she's just as perfect here as she is everywhere else, her heart pounds inside her chest and I love the way her breast heave up and down as she pants.
Spreading her legs a little I run my tongue along her growling at the sweet taste I push my tongue in harder moving it faster listening for her encouraging groans of pleasure. She's screaming my name and thrusting her hips up off of the bed and all but ripping my hair out before long. I roughly flick my tongue against her clit one more time and she falls apart, with me loving every second of the bliss I took her to. As soon as my back hits the mattress beside her, her hand finds my hardness and starts to pump and tug at me, I groan and hiss through my teeth, her hands feel so good on me.
"Adrian you don't have to" I pant
"You just gave me possibly the greatest orgasm I've ever had, please let me do something for you?" she says and I'm filled with delight at her statement. She draws my own orgasm out and just as I decide I can't hold it in a second longer as if sensing this she moves quickly and covers me with her mouth and I release against the back of her throat.
Lying together naked that night it was beautiful and wonderful, I rolled to my side to kiss her neck and she sighed happily. "Riddoc Black I think there's a high possibility that that mouth of yours is magical" she giggles.
"I think you might be too Angel" I whisper.
"Mmm I like that" she says
"What Angel?" I ask and I feel her nod. and I just can't stop the smile that takes me over.
