Chapter 24 Giving up Giving In

Bordon closed his eyes and heaved a sullen sigh. Both stood still in the heavy, tension filled silence, not sure what was going to happen.

After another moment of tight anxiety, Major Bordon closed the door. Melanie pulled her hand away as he did, still standing quietly behind him. She watched as the man rested his forehead against the door, almost as in a gesture of defeat.

"Yes….Melanie..," he relented in a ragged voice, "I am in love with you."

The young woman drew in a breath of excitement at having heard him call her by her name. Her heart within wanted to leap for joy, yet was beating a path slowly up into her throat. Miss Prescott stood like a statue in her spot, not sure what to do or say.

Alexander Bordon stayed against the door, resigned to his fate. He could deny his feelings for her no more and had given in, once again, to a woman.

After another moment, the Major straightened upright, and turned around. His eyes met Melanie's, which were soft and inviting.

He took both of her hands in his, and raised them slowly upwards. An almost inaudible gasp escaped Melanie's mouth as the Major lightly kissed both her hands. Alex brought both her hands back down, where he clasped them as they hung as her sides.

With a small breath, Alexander leaned forward and kissed Melanie's lips lightly, nearly a chaste kiss. The girl closed her eyes as he did, then opened them to find Bordon standing a bit closer. She looked up at him longingly, begging him with her eyes to do it again.

Bordon kissed the girl again softly and slowly, his lips lingering on hers. When he felt no resistance, he pressed his body to hers and his mouth against her lips. Miss Prescott willingly parted her lips during the kiss, surrendering to the officer.

Melanie's small hands slipped out of Bordon's and moved softly up over his chest to his neck, which she clasped. With that, Alex put his arms around her waist, with one hand soon slipping downwards to caress her bottom through layers of skirts.

After a moment, the man's hands moved up to the buttons of Miss Prescott's dress. He deftly unbuttoned her bodice as he kissed her deeply. Melanie let his tongue move languidly within her mouth, marveling at the sensual feel of it.

His mouth left hers for a moment to outline her jawbone with light kisses. As his lips moved to her ear, she shivered with the feathery sensation upon the soft lobes of it. Alex pushed Melanie's dress off her shoulders and down her arms. It fell into a puddle around her feet, which she stepped backward out of. Bordon stepped forward and over the lifeless dress left on the cabin floor.

Close to the young woman once again, he put his hands on her waist and gently turned her away from him. He began to kiss the back of her neck and ears as his hands began to unlace the back of her corset. Melanie let him do as he wished with her stay, as she drank in the sensations of his mouth nibbling her ears and neck. She felt flushed with arousal, and her legs felt weak, as if she would swoon any instant.

In another moment, Major Bordon had unbound Melanie from her stay, after which he tossed it onto the dirt floor. The girl turned back to face him, clad now only in her shift and a few petticoats. She reached out and pulled her lover back to her, leaning willingly back into a kiss.

Miss Prescott rose onto her tip toes and began to trail kisses along Bordon's jaw, his stubble tickling her cheek as she did. The girl softly kissed his neck, then teased his earlobe with a nibble. As she did, her hands began to pull on the soft material of his shirt, pulling it out of his breeches. Bordon groaned as Melanie continued to kiss his neck and ears.

"Ahhhh," he moaned as Melanie's hands found their way up under his shirt. Her hands slid lightly over his stomach and chest, stopping to rest there. Alex groaned again as the young woman's fingers caressed and pinched his nipples.

Soon Melanie's lips were back upon his as she felt him bunching his shirt up. Their mouths parted only for an instant as she pushed his shirt up and over his head. He dropped the garment as he pulled the girl to him, wanting to feel the warmth of her semi clad body against his bare chest.

As they kissed and teased another moment, his hands untied the ribbon at the front of her shift, then pushed the garment down and over her shoulders. It hung limply at her waist upon the petticoats, making her feel shy as she stood naked from the waist up.

Bordon's mouth left hers as he stepped back to gaze at the young woman's body in the fire and candlelit cabin. Suddenly, Melanie remembered her scars of 10 months ago, and became self conscious. The girl covered her bosom with one arm and her belly with the other.

Alex felt certain he knew why she had covered herself. His mind drifted back to an encounter he had shortly after healing from one of his first major wounds, and how the whore he was with that night would perceive him. He reached out and took one of Melanie's hands, gently guiding it to his torso, where he put her fingers upon a scar below his shoulder above the top of his right breast.

Melanie eased a bit as her fingers traced the scar. As she looked over his bare torso in the dim light, she soon saw a few more old wounds of different sizes and lengths crisscrossing his body. She suddenly remembered that she wasn't the only person disfigured by this war. The girl's other hand went out to trace another wound on his bicep.

"Death passed us both by," he remarked, trying to soothe her. "Yet it made sure to mark us." Melanie smiled softly, saying nothing, but feeling at ease now with Bordon.

He hooked his arm around her waist slowly and pulled her body back to him. Alex sighed as he felt Miss Prescott's bare breasts against his nude torso. After his hands traced her bare back, they slipped around to the front and up her body.

As Bordon kneaded her breasts and coaxed her nipples into peaks with his fingers, Melanie cooed as his mouth covered hers in a kiss. Her arms were hooked securely around his neck, with Bordon's continuing ministrations making her feel as if she would faint.

In a moment the couple had moved onto the bed, Bordon lying on top of Melanie, both of them kissing and trying to remove the last bits of their clothing. After Melanie pulled off her petticoats and shift, she moved under the cover as she watched Alex shed his breeches. He then joined his lover under the blankets, moving to lie atop her naked body again.

The couple kissed deeply for a moment as they became warm and comfortable beneath the bedding. Melanie's arms encircled Bordon's body. And after a moment of quiet but frantic kisses, her hands began to trace his back. She felt him tremble slightly when she ran her fingertips up his spine.

Alex shifted slightly between her legs, which startled the young woman out of her momentary reverie. She remembered him doing this before he had taken her, forcefully, in the past, and she became scared.

The officer felt her body stiffen beneath his and heard her gasp. He moved his lips to her left ear and nibbled lightly on the shell of it. "Shhhhhh," he murmured into it as his moist lips continued to tease her.

In an instant, he felt her arms leave his body and soon found them on his large chest. She was trying to push him away, but he held himself tightly to her. Then their eyes locked.

Miss Prescott had a worried, almost desperate look in her eyes. He could tell she was apprehensive. The dragoon stayed silent as it looked as though she wanted to say something.

"Please…."she stammered almost inaudibly, "please….don't hurt me…like you did before."

Pinned beneath him still, she knew she was at his mercy. Though worried that he may become brutal as he had before, she suddenly felt silly at what she had just said. He was atop her and could take her anyway that he pleased. Melanie closed her eyes and turned her head to the side, unable to hold his gaze.

Bordon cringed inside, still ashamed at how he had treated her the three times he'd been with her. But this was not enough to spoil his lust. He gently took her chin between his index finger and thumb, bringing her face back to meet his. She opened her eyes and stared into his again. Alex saw the mixture of uncertainty, lust, and fear clouding her sky blue eyes.

"I'll give you only pleasure from now on," he assured her in a sensual whisper. With this, his lips trailed to her neck, marking the soft skin there with gentle and wet kisses. "I promise," he murmured into her blond hair.

Miss Prescott's body went limp beneath him and her head sank back into the pillow. She cooed as his lips trailed from the side of her neck, across her throat, and to the top of her shoulders. Her body would shudder ever so often as she felt his hands move up and down her ribs and hips. Melanie's own hands moved to encircle his body again, dancing lightly down his bare torso and coming to rest softly atop his buttocks.

As Melanie began to caress his rear, she marveled at how hard and tight it felt. She smiled inwardly as he groaned when he felt her hands on his rump. As he continued to kiss down the top of her chest, she kneaded his butt a little harder. As another guttural moan escaped his lips against her skin, she grinned a little, pleased at finding out that he was enjoying the sensations.

A third time, she cupped his buttocks, and he groaned again at this. But this time, Melanie did not smile. Instead, she felt a strange sensation within herself that felt pleasant. She was learning quickly how to please this man, and she loved it. It made her feel as if she had a womanly power over him, and that overwhelmed her.

Boldly, her right hand moved slowly from his rear and slipped between their bodies, finding his hardened member. As her fingers touched it, he shook slightly. Melanie had never touched a man's penis before, and was fascinated at how it felt. Her hand moved between their bodies and explored the hardness. This was enough to stop Alex in his tracks, his lips pulling away from her skin.

The girl was so caught up in discovering his phallus that she did not notice that he'd stopped kissing her. Wanting to feel more of it, she wrapped her hand about it. Innocently and slowly, she moved her fist up and down the length of it.

"Oh…my God," groaned Bordon, clearly in ecstasy.

Melanie felt a twinge of heat and want between her legs as she did this. And after stroking Bordon slowly twice more, she felt this delicious sensation again. She assumed that she herself was becoming aroused by what she was doing to this man, and she relished the feeling.

After a moment, Bordon's face met hers to kiss her mouth deeply again. As their tongues entwined and explored each other's mouths, Melanie's eager hand moved a bit lower and softly cupped Alexander's scrotum. The officer groaned into her mouth as she did. This young woman was driving him insane with her curiosity.

After he kissed her, he reached between their bodies and found her wandering hand. He gently pulled it away from his cock, afraid that he was becoming too aroused, and he wasn't ready to spend his seed just yet. Alex guided her hand back up and around him. She complied and let it rest softly on his waist.

The major then took her other hand and brought it to his lips, where he kissed the tip of each finger lightly, teasing her. She smiled at this and suppressed a giggle, for it tickled at first. But Melanie soon found a moan escaping her own lips as the officer drew her forefinger into his wet mouth, sucking on it. The girl's breathing increased as he moved her finger in and out, his tongue teasing it as he did. And soon, she felt that lovely, unexplainable twinge between her legs again.

In an instant, Major Bordon's mouth had left her index finger and was now on her left breast. "Mmmmmmm", she sighed as his lips gently covered her nipple. With her finger still near his mouth, Melanie touched his cheek and lips with her fingers, wanting to feel how his mouth worked as he suckled the pink tip of her breast.

Wanting to heighten her arousal even more, as Bordon's tongue would snake out from between his lips to circle the nipple, he teasingly touched the tip of her finger upon every revolution. Bordon was pleased as she cooed again. His mouth trailed kisses across the valley of her chest and found the point of her right breast.

Melanie's arms went around Bordon's shoulders and held onto him tightly, reveling in the delightful tugging sensations on her right nipple. As Alexander's lips and tongue worked the jewel, his other hand moved from her hips up to her left breast, which he kneaded firmly.

In another instant, his mouth latched tightly onto her right nipple, which sent another flush of heat down into Melanie's crotch. He began to suck hard on the pink tip, which sent another, yet different, sensation of warm arousal throughout her body.

"Oh….." she moaned aloud in pleasure, not wanting the pulling sensation on her breast to end. She instinctively arched her back a little, as if wanting to push her breast further into his mouth.

Alex could tell that her excitement was starting to heighten, but was still in control yet. In a heartbeat his mouth left her breast, which made her feel suddenly abandoned.

Melanie looked frantically down at her lover, wondering why he had stopped his amazing ministrations. She saw and felt his lips kissing softly down her stomach, which made her middle twitch. As his mouth moved ever lower across her belly, she felt as though her tummy was full of fluttering butterflies. Unsure of what he was going to do, but enjoying the feeling, she did not stop him.

Soon, the girl felt Bordon's breath move over her triangle of blond pubic hair, and to the top of her left thigh. She sighed, closing her eyes as her head dropped back onto the pillow. Her body quivered as her lover's lips kissed and nibbled the insides of both her thighs. As these new sensations drove her into a frenzy, she grasped the bed linens with her hands, clinging tightly to the bed.

As Alex continued to tease her, Melanie felt an instinctive urge to have this man anyway she could. She longed to feel him inside of her and had to have him soon.

Suddenly, the young woman felt Bordon's mouth on her womanhood, his lips and tongue gently exploring its folds. An urgent jolt of energy surged through her body when he did.

"Ahhh…." she mewled. She was not at all ashamed to feel his mouth on her most intimate place. Indeed, Miss Prescott never knew that a pleasure such as this existed. The girl lay still and let his tongue ravish her femininity, taking delight in the feelings.

Bordon sucked and licked the velvet folds delicately, taking his time teasing her. And in a moment, he felt her hips buck upward as his tongue hit her womanly pearl. Her body jerked again as he dragged his tongue slowly across it. Alexander paused there for a moment, his lips gently sucking her clitoris until it hardened.

Again, Alex pressed his tongue to the little erection and stroked it lightly. His lover moaned as he did. Slowly, he licked around it, then began to manipulate it, moving in tiny circles.

Arching her back, a groan escaped from her mouth at the pleasurable sensations. Miss Prescott felt warmth in her pelvis and thighs, and delighted in the inexplicable tingle she felt in her womanhood every time his tongue stroked it.

Her hands clenched into fists, still gripping the bedding as his tongue continued its sensual assault on the ruby between her thighs. Not wanting it to end, Melanie turned loose of the bed linens then moved her hands downward and snaked her fingers into Major Bordon's long, strawberry blond hair. She held his head there as he continued to massage her sensuously.

As his tongue circled the pearl in a quicker rhythm, he could sense her passion rising to its height. The girl's fingers held tightly in his hair and her back arched more.

"Oh……oh God…..Ahhh…Oh.." Melanie cried out as she came, twisting her fingers into the locks of his hair. The girl was amazed at the shockwaves that traversed her body, feeling her sexual tension relieved in an instant.

With her body still trembling and her breath ragged, she was unaware that Alexander was moving quickly back up her body, equal with her again. Still breathing hard, but starting to calm, she felt his breath on her ear as he murmured, "That was pleasure, my darling."

Bordon reached between his legs to guide himself to her entrance. As his lover lay beneath him, still quaking from her orgasm, he pushed hard into her with a jovial thrust, causing her to cry out again.

As he thrust quickly in and out of her, Melanie's arms went around him, holding his body close to hers. She felt a need to feel him deeper within herself. Her hands moved down again to his ass, one hand on each cheek of it. Pressing down hard on his butt, she silently urged him to move more deeply into her.

Even though she could feel that he was penetrating her a little deeper, lust overtook her and she wanted to feel more. She shifted her own hips beneath him, then pulled her legs up to plant her feet on the bed. The girl tried frantically to meet his movements with her own thrusts, but she couldn't seem to satisfy her own greedy need.

As they continued to move with one another in rhythm, Melanie's hands moved back up his body to his head. She held his face in her hands and kissed him deeply and urgently. Bordon thrust faster as she did, heightening, yet fighting his own need for release at the same time.

Melanie whispered breathily against the officer's ear. "Please…..oh God…..please," she pleaded. "Deeper……deeper…"

With that, Bordon's hand snaked up her left thigh then hooked beneath her knee. The officer lifted her leg up and over his hip. He did the same with her other leg so that she could take him more deeply.

"Ahhh….Oh….please..", the young woman moaned as he continued to move more deeply within her.

"Better?" he asked in a lustful voice.

"Yes," answered Melanie nearly inaudibly, visibly lost to her passion.

The major began to groan as he tried hard to suppress his orgasm, wanting Melanie to come again. His mouth claimed hers again in a hard kiss.

He pulled away from her and looked at her face, flushed with excitement and eyes closed. The girl was clearly in ecstasy.

"Look at me, Melanie," he requested in a raspy voice. "Look into my eyes."

The young woman complied and saw Bordon's eyes dark with lust. The pair looked intently at one another as Alexander continued to push and swerve deeply into her.

He soon quickened his pace, and Melanie felt her body losing control again. And in an instant, he had claimed her body with his power again. She gripped his shoulders tightly, never looking away from his deep blue eyes.

"Oh….Alex…..Oh…", she cried out, uninhibited. "Oh…..mmmmm….ahh!"

Bordon came equally as fast. His seed spurted hot and forcefully into her. "God….Oh….Melanie…..Melanie…..oh…" he groaned aloud, never taking his eyes off her.

His body collapsed onto hers as they both came down from their orgasms. With a satisfied grunt, he slipped his now flaccid member out of Melanie and rolled off of her and onto his back. There, Alexander pulled Melanie Prescott into his arms and against his body. The officer pulled the blanket up and covered them both. The couple fell asleep almost right away, exhausted from the long days' events, and from their own bedsport.
